[ Kiryu tells it like it is. I promise, this is what he does with the people he likes... ]
It sounds like you keep trying to run away from actually talking. Instead of asking me if I'm still friends with you, you should ask yourself why you think I wouldn't be. And then maybe talk to Majima instead of avoiding him.
You're doing it again, Fai. Instead of talking about it, you're running away.
If you want to run, that's fine. But you should probably know that people will stop chasing you eventually. Then the person you hurt the most is going to end up being yourself.
[Similar, that is. He's quiet on his end for a bit longer because he knows there's no way to salvage this conversation and he doesn't want to hang up either because that might make it more awkward.]
There could be a rerouting issue going on. But this is the first time it's happened...
[ Kiryu had been waiting... but considering Majima's sigh, he can't be disappointed. He's immediately concerned, reaching out to place a hand on Majima's arm. ]
[ he tries to smile, waving his hand. it's an impulse he feels more and more lately, to smile instead of deal with stuff. even with kiryu, a man he loves more than anything. he can't help it. ]
It ain't that big a deal, jus' forget it. Ya wanna do somethin'?
[ Kiryu doesn't smile, but he's not frowning either. He just wants to be there for Majima, but if Majima really doesn't want to talk, they don't have to. ]
I remembered some stuff today, too. Maybe we can both talk about it.
