week 2, post trial

[haw]

[ hey what's up your alcoholic father has depression and the rest of the family is nowhere to be found

a long day continues into a long night, it seems. ]

[usogi]

[senri needs to come back to get his phone charger

but he pauses

. . . . ]

I'm home, Ogou-san.

[haw]

Welcome back.

[ majima's voice is hoarse, drifting out of the living room. no lights are on. the rest of the house is silent. ]

[usogi]

[ . . . ah, dad. senri will turn on a side table lamp when he comes in - not anything too bright, but he'll at least try to not leave majima in darkness

he'll go to stand in front of him]

... I didn't want to say this in front of everyone but....

You know there's nothing for me to forgive you for, right? When you said sorry...

[haw]

[ senri turns on the light to see majima lying on the couch. his jacket is off (thrown haphazardly onto the floor) and his shirt is half undone... but it looks like he just kind of fell onto the sofa with everything else still on. that includes shoes.

he doesn't move at all from his sorry position, not even to look up at senri. ]

I almost choked ya out.

[usogi]

[ . . . . ugh majima.

senri will sit down on the floor then, cross legged so he can be closer to the same level as majima]

..... someone would've stopped you - if you even actually tried. I know you didn't want to hurt me.

I didn't really give you a lot of reason to have faith in me - didn't you call me a... cagey bitch?

[haw]

[ he continues to stare at the ceiling, tensing his shoulders in the barest way possible to still show a tiny shrug. ]

When's that shit supposed to wear off? Monday?

[usogi]

It's already gone. That's all I had to do, put my god down on a note that no one could read.

[ . . . ]

It just... really undid everything I was trying to do....

[haw]

[ a very long pause. ]

Glad to know ya weren't lyin' to me about that.

[usogi]

[ . . . and he laughs a little - weakly but.]

... Majima-san is one of the people I haven't lied to at all here.

I know it's... hard to believe but....

[haw]

[ with a little bit of effort, he pushes himself up into a normal seated position, then rests his hand on top of senri's head. ]

[usogi]

[ . . . . . .

he's quiet for a long moment, before letting his gaze fall to the floor before he closes his eyes entirely. he feels the weight of the hand on his head, and thinks again about how this must be what being scolded, and then cared for, is like. it's such a bittersweet feeling....

he doesn't hate it.]

... I'm just going to be next door, because Shishimaru is overprotective.

But I'll be back for breakfast tomorrow first thing.

If Ogou-san wants to use my bed, please do.

[haw]

Don't worry about me. Just make sure Pinetree-kun gets ya back here in one piece.

[ one day he'll call taka by name. today is not that day. ]

. . .

Senri-kun.

[ !!!!!!!! ]

[usogi]

[ . . . . . .

f ucck]

Ogou-saaaaaaaaaan.

[how is this what seems like it's going to make him cry]

[haw]

—Oi, what'd I say about cryin'?!

[usogi]

I don't remember....!!

[HE'S NOT ACTUALLY CRYING BUT GOD HE'S CLOSE

he's bringing his hands up to his face to wipe at his eyes pre-emptively

god this is the half of the family with no braincells to be found]

[haw]

[ PUNCH

which is more of a very gentle bop on the head. but. the intent is there. ]

[usogi]

[ughhhhhsldkfjsf. senri pouts]

.... is Ogou-san gonna get weird if I say thank you again....

[haw]

Wanna find out?

[ majima no ]

[usogi]

Just let me say 'thank you, I appreciate you' without getting weird please....!

[haw]

... Guess I owe ya that much.

[usogi]

... uh-huh.

[ . . . ]

By the way, I found out who cursed me for real. It wasn't Sasuke-kun.

I just wanted to let you know.... so you don't have to be worried about that or me anymore.

[haw]

Figured he was tryin' to cover for ya.

Who was it?

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

No one that will hurt me in the future. They're trying to be safe right now, and keep their alignment a secret even though they made me reveal mine.... So they asked me to not say.

But they told me they'll apologize to you and Sasuke-kun too, when this is all over.

Is that okay...? I want to tell Majima-san but... this time it's not mine to tell.

[haw]

[ ... he just sighs, but he understands this much. ]

As long as the info comin' straight from you ain't made up from now on, all right?
