Yeah.

[ Kiryu nods, pulling him a little closer to bury his face in his neck. They're hugging now. This is a hug. ]

No matter what happens.

[ majima puts his arms around kiryu's waist, holding him close, too. this is really, really nice. ]

That means a whole hell of a lot to me.

[ Kiryu hums an affirmative as he just closes his eyes and lets himself enjoy having Majima close. He knows now for sure: they're meant to be together. ]

Me too.

Thanks for comin' over so quickly. I know ya didn't have to do that.

[ Kiryu shakes his head. ]

It sounded important. Work isn't more important than you.

[ majima just squeezes him tighter, holding him closer ]

Thanks.

[ Kiryu squeezes back, turning his head to speak against Majima's neck. ]

Anytime.

[ he just stays there for a little while, letting himself be hold and holding kiryu close until he finally seems to remember the tea he'd made. ]

D'ya want some tea? I might have some fruit in the fridge, too.

Yeah, that sounds good.

[ Kiryu's just glad he can be there for Majima, he knows they're not exactly the most affectionate couple. Just this is more than enough. (For now...) ]

What kind of tea did you make?

Oolong.

[ he goes to get a second cup for kiryu and pours some out - it's thankfully still hot. ]

Thanks.

[ Kiryu grabs his cup and blows on it softly. At least Majima seems to be working his way up to doing normal things. Whatever loss in depth perception he has, he's gonna have to work through it one way or another. ]

This is good tea.

Yeah, it's pretty good.

[ majima goes to take a seat on the futon, come join him, kiryu. in this tiny ass apartment where theres minimal furniture. ]

Shit's supposed to help ya focus, right?

[ Kiryu will gladly join Majima on his futon. He sits down beside him, close enough that their thighs are flush against each other. ]

I think so? My aunt drinks Oolong. And matcha.

[ Kiryu's not a huge fan of matcha... ]

Matcha's hard to make, right?

[ he's not super sure. he may have gotten japanese back, but not an entire lexicon of japanese culture and customs. ]

Yeah, you need a special brush and stuff. I've never done tea ceremonies, but I know that's what they use.

[ All stuff Makoto's mom wanted to get him into but his parents didn't want him to 'waste his time on.' Yeaaaah... ]

Sounds like a lot of work.

[ sometimes he's not great with tradition, unfortunately. ]

Yeah, that was always my thinking too.

[ You have to sit a certain way and do certain things and it all sounds really hard when you can just buy instant matcha at the supermarket.

He takes a sip of his tea. It really is quite good. No ceremony required. ]

This is a lot more convenient.

Yeah, at least it didn't get over steeped or anything.

[ they may be talking about things that seem otherwise kind of pointless, but he is genuinely glad that kiryu is here to distract him from all of this. ]

[ That's what he's here for. None of this is normal, but at least they can be there for each other and try to make sense of it all.

Sometimes that means ignoring it and acting like everything is okay. ]

You're better at this than I am. I usually oversteep it.

Timing is everything, Kiryu-chan.

[ Kiryu smiles. ]

I guess I've gotta work on that.

You'll get it.

[ he's quiet for a moment, thinking ]

Did ya bring your notebook? I actually remembered somethin' else, too.

[ Kiryu nods. ]

It's in my bag. Let me go get it.

[ He stands up quick and comes back with the notebook, along with one of the nice pens Majima gave him. ]

Okay. Go ahead.

[ oh that's nice that he's using that... majima's glad. ]

I was working in a club, but it was way fancier than Sunshine. Like...real fucking grand.

[ Of course, he wants to put those nice things of yours to use, Majima. ]

So like, an upscale club? Do you remember what it was called?
