[sotenbori]

There's somethin' else. About Makoto-chan.

[judgementkazzy]

Oh. Now that you mention it, I remembered something else about Tachibana, too.

[ Now it feels weird to say... ]

You first.

[sotenbori]

[ hm wow this is awkward ]

I'm pretty sure I was supposed to kill her.

[judgementkazzy]

Oh.

[ That's actually fine because Kiryu doesn't believe Majima could have killed her.... And also. ]

Are you sure? I remember Tachibana died before I could get him to her.

[sotenbori]

Well, I obviously fucked it up.

[ he shrugs ]

But I told ya, I remembered seein' her shot, so.

[judgementkazzy]

Right. She still could have.

[ Even if she survived, it sounds like her life was pretty shitty... ]

All I remembered was that Tachibana had a bat tattoo on his arm.

[sotenbori]

[ majima goes still. what kiryu says triggers a memory in him - something told to him about makoto. a bat tattoo. holy fuck. ]

...Are you sure?

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu nods. He can't imagine what Majima knows about him, but he wants to find out. ]

I saw it myself. It was a bat.

[sotenbori]

Makoto, she....She's blind 'cause of a man with a bat tattoo.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu lets that sink in.... ]

Shit.

[ Why would a guy make his own sister blind?? ]

[sotenbori]

Worst part is, he doesn't remember so we can't even ask him about it.

[ it's pretty clear majima does not mean politely with words. ]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Why, how else would they ask him??? ]

Yeah. He'd have no clue.

[sotenbori]

What happened to Makoto was really bad.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu can make his own assumptions, he has a feeling he doesn't want to ask. ]

...Oh.

[ So wait, is Tachibana a bad guy??? ]

Do you think he did it on purpose?

[sotenbori]

[ he's quiet for a moment, retreating into kiryu's scarf. ]

She was put in a cage. Like an animal. And sold to the Korean mafia.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu gasps softly. That's not something you do accidentally. ]

Damn.

[ What the fuck, Tachibana???? ]

[sotenbori]

The bat tattoo was the last thing she ever saw.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu doesn't usually curse but.... ]

Shit.

[sotenbori]

If Tachibana is really the guy that did that to her, he's going to answer for it.

[judgementkazzy]

He probably doesn't remember.

[ Which doesn't absolve him, obviously, but Kiryu also remembers being really choked up about his death? So he's conflicted. ]

Should we tell him?

[sotenbori]

[ he watches kiyru for a moment, like he's trying to decide what he's getting at. he can tell there's more here, though. kiryu's quiet, doesn't play his emotions on his sleeve, but majima is getting good at reading them all the same. ]

Fuck, I don't know.

[ he sighs and drops his cigarette to stamp it out. ]

Lets just skate or whatever we were gonna do.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Fuck it, he's gonna go ahead and get out with it. Skating can wait a bit. ]

If he's the guy who hurt Makoto...

[ Kiryu raises a hand to his lips. THESE ARE TAINTED LIPS, MAJIMA... ]

I kissed him, back when all the mistletoe bats were around. I'm sorry.

[sotenbori]

Eh?

[ he turns to look at him, honestly he's more judging the dramatic ass way kiryu is telling him this. what is this, a weird shoujo love triangle?? ]

Even if it is true, ya couldnta known that about him. 'sides, those fuckin' bats were a nuisance an' a half. I kissed lotsa guys on the cheek.

[ hes making a lot of assumptions here. ]

[judgementkazzy]

[ This is a very Yakuza moment, of course now's when Kiryu's gonna bring that up.

Kiryu hums, not giving this subject up. ]

It was on the lips.

[ He's honestly expecting Majima to be mad, he's ready... kill him now, Majima. ]

[sotenbori]

Why're ya lookin' at me like I'm a hangman? Damn.

[ he moves closer to kiryu, getting very up in his space. not angrily, just playful. he brings a gloved finger (yes, he's wearing gloves, he made one sound winter decision) up to tap kiryu's lips gently. ]

's just a kiss.

[ but then he pulls back just a bit - not far, he's definitely still past an acceptable close distance between two japanese men, but he tilts his head to the side, thinking for a moment. ]

Ah, but ya seem like you're tryin' ta confess somethin' ta me. You liked it, is that it?
