[ Yep, Kiryu wakes with a start, shaking and bringing his hands up to his chest and arms... just in case, you know? Finding no scars or injuries, he heaves out a breath and tries his best to calm himself down. The memory is still pretty vivid... but he'd had both eyes and remembered a commotion just before waking.
[ majima gives him some space, letting him find his way back to reality without hovering on top of him. he doesn't know if kiryu even wants to be touched, given the way he's shaking. ]
[ Kiryu takes a deep breath. If it'd just been a dream, the memory wouldn't feel so vivid. He knows what this is, though he might not immediately want to admit it. He shakes his head, reaching out to place a hand on Majima's arm. ]
It's in the past. A bad memory.
[ Even if it happened, it happened in the past. It doesn't change anything, even if the memory makes him cringe. ]
[ he looks down at kiryu's hand on his arm -- or where it feels like, at least, it's still pretty dark. he knows what that means. it's the exact reason he hadn't told him, why he'd made it since july without saying anything. but of course, he'd had to open his big mouth, he'd had to have been weak, couldn't be stronger and helped him by just saying nothing. ]
[ Kiryu shakes his head, scooting closer to pull Majima into a hug. Yeah, it sucks. But after seeing the kind of pain Tachibana had been through, after remembering his house burn and seeing a guy chop his own finger off?
Yeah, it was awful. But he would be okay. Definitely. (Yeaaaaah, sure.) ]
[ Kiryu settles his head on Majima's shoulder. He may be scared from what he remembers, but he isn't so lost that he'll focus on that when Majima's distressed. ]
[ majima tries to fight off the heavy weight of his own guilt to reach over and cup kiryu's cheek with his hand, running his thumb along his cheek bone. kiryu needs him now, doesn't need him to be a wreck about how bad he feels. the only way he can make it better is by trying to fix it. the guilt won't do anything. ]
If we ever found who did that to you, I'll fuck them up.
[ Kiryu sighs, melting against Majima. Nothing helps calm him down like his attention. If Majima could survive whatever had happened to him, then Kiryu can survive this too. ]
no subject
[ Will he, though? Because Kiryu's probably just gonna wake up in a cold sweat later. ]
Try and get some rest.
no subject
Hey -- what's goin' on?
no subject
He was probably fine? ]
Bad dream.
no subject
It's okay, you're awake now.

It's not your fault, Majima.
[ I mean, not torture him at least! ]
no subject
I didn't want ya to -- it wasn't supposedta...
no subject
You didn't do this to me, Majima.
[ He shakes his head again. ]
I would have remembered eventually.
no subject
If we ever found who did that to you, I'll fuck them up.
no subject
Yeah. That sounds good.
no subject
I'll take care of ya, no matter what.
no subject
I know.
[ Just like Kiryu looks out for Majima. ]
Thank you.

[ Kiryu nods. ]
It was... I don't want to think about it. This is what's real now.

Yeah, that might help.

[ por qué no los dos ]
no subject
It's okay if ya don't wanna fight, after those dreams.
no subject
I think... after those dreams, I need to fight. Because even if it happened to me, it's not me. It's in the past.
no subject
Alright, let's fight then, Kiryu-chan.
[ he moves to get out of bed, offering kiryu a hand to get up too. ]
no subject
[ Majima gets it. He always gets it, that's what makes them work together so well. Kiryu takes the offered hand and pulls himself out of bed. ]
We can keep it quick, though.
[ He just wants to get his blood pumping again. ]
no subject
no subject
[ If he can kick his ass, that is. Kiryu rolls off the bed, rolling his shoulders once his feet are on the ground. ]
Let's do this.
