[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. ]

[sotenbori]

I was tortured.

[ majima tries to keep his voice steady, but his hands shake where he's holding kiryu so it gives it away. he's been reliving the memory almost every night, daily nightmares of this horrible thing he remembers that he has no context for. he almost wishes he did, like that might make it just go away instead of his brain inventing all these terrible horrible things he could've done. ]

[judgementkazzy]

Shit.

[ Probably the only thing worse than dying, Kiryu figures, would be not dying and being tortured, so wow, that's... actually worse than he expected. Which would also explain why Majima had been almost relieved by the news. ]

Majima...

[ Kiryu kisses the top of his head again, holding Majima steadily. It explains the nightmares, the lack of sleep... Majima didn't deserve this. ]

[sotenbori]

I'm sorry I -- I should've told you. You had to keep puttin' up with me all this time an' you didn't even know why.

[ i mean maybe on some level he knows its more than just putting up with him but also he does feel really guilty for not telling him ]
