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

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?

[ 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.

[ 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.

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. ]

[ 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. ]

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?

[ Good move getting up in Kiryu's space, Majima. Nothing reminds him of just how much he enjoys spending time with Majima like when he invades his space, to be honest. And Majima in gloves? It feels right.

At least Kiryu's not frowning anymore. He nods. ]

Yeah. It was kind of nice.

[ Kiryu wraps an arm around Majima's waist and pulls him close. This is some PDA levels of personal space right now. ]

It's different from how I feel about you. But I can't pretend I didn't like it.

[ oh... it's nice when kiryu returns his affection like this... a little weird to be doing that while talking about your crush on tachibana, i guess, but that's coming from a guy not wearing a shirt while theres snow so ]

I understand.

[ and it sounds like he really does because -- ]

I remember feelin' like that.

[ He's doing it because he loves you so much, Majima. He can talk about other dudes, they don't hold a candle to you. Kiryu nods. Even if he did ask Tachibana out, or his weird crush actually went somewhere, it wouldn't change how Kiryu feels about Majima. ]

Yeah?

[ He's not judging him, obviously. Maybe they're more alike than they realize. It's not a bad thing! ]

Back then?

Yeah. Back then. With Saejima. I've been tryin' ta just ignore it, but....

[ it's hard. especially when he remembers the intensity of his feelings. ]

[ Kiryu shakes his head. ]

You don't have to ignore it. He was important to you.

[ Kiryu might not know that for a fact but he can guess, just with how Majima's talked about him. Kiryu's not really the jealous type. ]

You're important to me.

I know.

[ Kiryu nods, certainty in his words. ]

You're allowed to have important people. I wouldn't ask you to stop caring about someone else who was important to you, too.

It ain't like that. Ya can like people in different ways, but it's not...it's not fair ta you.

[ Kiryu shakes his head. ]

It's not fair to you if you feel like you have to pretend you don't care about him.

Majima, I know what we have is... it's strong. Words don't really capture it. But I know that if you cared about Saejima, that wouldn't mean you care about me any less.

[ If Kiryu was any good with words he'd say "we're way too in love with each other" but, y'know. ]

I know that. But it's -- it's different.

[ he'd sworn an oath to saejima. to be together until death. if he gave his full heart to kiryu, did that mean admitting that saejima was dead? that everyone they remembered were out of their reach? ]

Look, this shit with your old-boss, that's no big deal, okay?

I'm not going to ask you to choose. You don't have to.

[ Kiryu slowly strokes an arm down Majima's back. The people they know... maybe they'll turn up here like Tachibana, or maybe they won't. Even if Kiryu remembers a life he doesn't have, he understands the desire to keep it. ]

But yeah, it was no big deal.

[ He just died in his arms but that's not the same as swearing an oath, we all know that. ]

[ lbr people dying in kiryu's arms is a pretty common occurrence!! ]

A-ah, Kiryu-chan?

[ that's a pretty forward gesture though out in public like this. it's one thing to fight but he blushes at the thought of kiryu trying to physically reassure him ]

C'mon, lets go skate.

Edited 2018-01-14 05:27 (UTC)

[ You're the only one to never die in his arms, Majima!! Plus with Majima not wearing a shirt, any kind of gesture is gonna come off a little embarrassing, you're gonna have to deal with that, Majima. Kiryu is trying to be reassuring here. ]

Okay.

[ He smiles a little. Majima's cute when he's blushing. ]

Ah, just a warning. I'm not very good.

I'll hold your hand.

[ and just like that now that hes embarrassing kiryu, he's no longer embarrassed for himself. wild. ]

[ Indeed, how the turns... tabled. Kiryu blushes but doesn't say anything.

He will take Majima's hand, though. ]

See, that's what I mean! Majima special assistance. We'll have ya solid on those skates in no time.

[ hmm you know it feels like they didn't finish their last conversation though. the feelings one? weird. ]

Thanks.

[ Kiryu stops walking. ]

I meant what I said, you know. You don't have to choose.

[ he stops too, but he doesn't turn around to look at him. ]

Yeah, I heard you.
