[ Kiryu pulls Majima close and loops his legs over so they're tangled together. This is a cuddle thread now. ]

The big tiger guy? What about him?

[sotenbori]

I called him kyoudai. And we talked about -- about stupid stuff, mostly. Tripe.

[ there's way more about it to unpack than just that but he has to take it one step at a time. ]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Tripe...? Kiryu's too sleepy for that part, but he knows what that first word means. ]

Was he... your oath brother?

[sotenbori]

My what?

[judgementkazzy]

I looked it up, it's like... You know how in the yakuza, you call a senior member aniki and your boss is your oyaji, and it's like a family? Some guys join the yakuza together, and they swear an oath to each other, to have each other's back.

[ He hasn't remembered that Nishiki is his... but after remembering him as a kid, it's not hard to put two and two together. ]

[sotenbori]

[ majima nods. he remembers, they'd talked about those terms when they'd figured out he was some hot shot boss. ]

I cared about him so much.

[judgementkazzy]

So the tiger tattoo guy was your oath brother?

[ Not... literally, but they understand what they're talking about. It's not weird to call a dude "kyoudai" probably. ]

[sotenbori]

I think so.

[ he buries his face into kiryu's shoulder]

I'm sorry for wakin' ya up about this.

[judgementkazzy]

You don't have to apologize.

[ Kiryu pulls him closer, kissing the top of his head. ]

What else did you remember about him?

[sotenbori]

He was going back ta jail. I don't....I don't have any context for that.

[judgementkazzy]

Oh.

[ That sounds rough. ]

That's too bad. He must have been important to you.

[sotenbori]

What does this mean? About my brother?

[judgementkazzy]

Your brother... the one in jail?

[sotenbori]

Did I fuck up this guy's life, too?

[judgementkazzy]

You don't know that.

[ Kiryu shakes his head. ]

You didn't do that for your brother, either.

[sotenbori]

Yes, I did. I kept pushing him until he ended up in jail. I kept --

[ his fingers tighten against kiryus skin where hes holding him ]

Everything. I ruined everything.

[judgementkazzy]

You didn't. You didn't force him to do anything.

[ Kiryu runs a hand along Majima's back, trying to soothe him. ]

Your brother wouldn't blame you.

[sotenbori]

You don't know that. Ya can't know that.

[judgementkazzy]

I know.

[ Wishful thinking, maybe, but... ]

Your brother means everything to you. It's the same for him, right?

[sotenbori]

I don't know.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu says nothing, opting to squeeze Majima a little tighter. ]

[sotenbori]

There's something -- there's somethin' I haven't told ya, yet, Kiryu-chan.

[ his throat feels tight. he should've told him a long time ago, but he's been so scared to. scared that it'll end up hurting kiryu, too. ]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu keeps rubbing circles on Majima's back, keeping steady for him. He isn't going to berate Majima for not telling him something. Hell, he'd barely berate Majima for anything. ]

What is it?

[sotenbori]

There was a memory I got. It was really bad.

[judgementkazzy]

Oh.

[ Yeah, that's understandable then. Majima isn't big on sharing his pain. Kiryu's not great at it either. ]

How bad?

[ Considering Kiryu thinks Majima died, it could be real bad. ]
