[The answer only sends Tooru into another fit of laughter, enjoying, really enjoying this exchange. Not because of how he's playfully mocking Tobio, but it's the reactions and the honesty from him that's put him in such a good mood.
Tobio, he thinks, ticks every box of what Tooru's type is, and maybe then some. A rival that can keep up with him and not back down from his temper or be burned by the passion he has for volleyball? Someone who knows how important volleyball really is? Tobio could get him. And here Tooru thought the perfect romantic partner couldn't exist. He already knew the perfect friend could, that was Iwaizumi, and he wasn't letting him go anywhere anytime soon.]
I didn't expect you to give me such a straightforward answer Tobio, but good to know!
[There was a real smile on his face once he calmed down from laughing, straightening himself back up with some deep breaths. He felt a little bad for just suddenly bursting in that fit of laughter, but Tooru hadn't laughed quite like that in a while, so he doesn't want to apologize for it.
Instead he just tilts his head in the way they needed to go, his house just a few minutes away down the road.]

C'mon, we don't have much further.
