What it says on the tin.
[Shit happens, dude. You need to chill and enjoy this youth-time!
Is what Bokuto would tell him if he knew what Kita thought.
Instead, he plops his butt on the ground next to him, looking up to make sure he doesn't get sick or falls asleep and hits his head on something.]

If you like. I don't mind either way.
[Kita is... genuinely touched by that compliment from Atsumu. He's used to doing things. Not so used to people pointing it out so directly. It's kind of nice.
So he smiles back.
Sets down olive oil, salt, pepper, and a spoon.]
Here. Add all this and mix the vegetables. You don't need to be precise.
[Of course he'll stop Atsumu from dumping the whole bottle or something. But Kita's fairly sure that won't happen. Maybe. Probably.]

[Kita does enjoy his time. Even if it's hard for others to understand it.
Chilling?
Not so much. Anyway. His stomach is slowly settling back down. Enough for thoughts to start connecting again. There's a sigh. Then another gulp of water.]
Sorry. You were probably doing something else, not babysitting.

It was a full, 5 set match! Which means it was worth the watch!
Besides, two of my students were playing! [He puffs up a little] One is orange bullet! The other one shut down Ushiwaka's spike! Like- completely! Slammed it straight into the ground!
[He is very, very happy about it because it means he won over Ushiwaka- a complete victory!]

[hold up... that's a smile? a smile from kita?? forget the seasoning for a sec, atsumu's busy having his mind blown. he doesn't think he's ever seen the captain like this before, and now he can say it's a damn shame.]
You're...you're smiling.
[way to point out the obvious. at least he's not trying to measure out the oil while he's struck dumb like this.]

Huh.
[It's taking forever to get even simple thoughts out, now. Kita's not sure if it's the exhaustion or the alcohol. Or if it matters.
His head's starting to nod...
Then Kita starts. The five seconds of rest enough to realize something very important.]
Ugh. 'S dirty in here.

Not around the team, you don't! [at this point, atsumu's just flabbergasted by the many revisions he's had to make to his impression of kita in the past day alone.] You're always so stern during practice.
[it's not a bad thing, really. kita kept them in line when they threatened to go overboard, and gave really, really good advice when it came down to it.]
You should. Smile more often. [it's mumbled, like atsumu himself can't believe he's saying it. before he can turn too red, he grabs the seasoning and oil and starts adding them to the vegetable mix.]

Well, you elected me Captain. You deserve my best.
[Which yes. Means being the one to step in when things get rowdy. Kita gets calm faster than the coaches. It's an asset.
It's interesting, though. The impact a simple facial change makes on Atsumu.]
Ah - That should be enough.
[He switches on the oven, then gets a baking tray.]

Oh. [right. don't want to mess up something as simple as the seasoning, even if he doesn't usually dabble in the kitchen. atsumu squints down at the mix with dubious eyes.]
How can you tell just by lookin' like that? All the recipes I've seen had some measurements.

Mix it up now.
Measurements are important, but Cooking is flexible. A few shakes and a few grinds is safe. As you practice, you can decide if you want more. It's like volleyball - You learn the rules, then you start trying new things.
[Kita spreads tinfoil over the tray.]
Like Sets no one else can do.
[Compliments help with learning, right?]

Like sets in volleyball, heh. [atsumu cracks a smile at that. are you buttering him up, kita? he never thought he'd see the day.]
When you put it that way, I've got no choice but that pick it up quickly.
[apparently compliments do work.]

Course I did! What kinda fool do you take me for?
[he's grinning as he says this, having regained some confidence from the tiniest compliment kita paid him. if osamu were around, he'd no doubt deflate his twin's ego promptly before he got too ahead of himself; hopefully kita's up to the job.
for now the intervention isn't necessary, atsumu miraculously following the directions as he dumps the chopped veggies onto the tray and prods at them until they're no longer clumped together.]
This look all right to you?
