[Sakusa can normally accept when things don't go his way as long as he's done his best, but any other answer in this situation would have genuinely hurt him. The moment Ushijima agrees to his terms, he lets out a held breath, his fingertips twitch, and his former smile is revived. This is to say, he's pleased by Ushijima's response. Sakusa nods in outward demonstration of his feeling. Even the way Ushijima waves off the waiter makes Sakusa fall a little deeper in love with him.]
As will I. I promise.
...Now that that's settled, I need to know. Who did you date? How many have you dated? Do I know them? What attracted you to them? Why did you break up?
[Sakusa could go on, but he forces himself to stop. An ex of Ushijima's is a threat, and that means Sakusa needs to know everything about the circumstances. Sakusa's as thorough in his questioning about his romantic rival, which he'd only formerly done with volleyball. Ushijima was already on his list of things he'd see through, but now he assumes the entitlement to ask.
It's probably a welcome relief when the waiter comes back with their appetizer bread and charcuterie board, though Sakusa's hand keeps Ushijima's wrist pinned right where it is.]
