VARIOUS | Reacting to Lewd Texts

Request: "How about how they react to lewd texts?"

Character(s): Masato Aizawa, Akira Nishikiyama, Reina, Osamu Kashiwagi, Kazuma Kiryu, Goro Majima (Nishida makes an appearance), Taiga Saejima, Shun Akiyama

Note: Bringing back a request from last year.

Masato Aizawa

When he first gets the texts, he would do that double take thing where you read a text then but the phone down for a split second until it registers then bring it back up to reread it before locking the fuck in. He’s not good with words in the sense that he could keep a good sexting sesh going. He’ll be okay at first then somewhere down the line say something sorta wild that derails the conversation and makes you laugh more than it’d make you horny. He’s learned that it’s best to just lean in on his partner and let THEM do all the talking by saying stuff like “Oh yeah?” “Keep going. What happens next?” “Tell me more.” Then when he thinks there’s enough build up, he’ll slide in a “Wanna see what you do to me?” before sending a horribly angled dick pic. Guess it’s a good thing it’s pretty because he’s no photographer.

Akira Nishikiyama

Send him the right thing and you will open the floodgates for his filthiness. He can either be a taunting little tease, leaving you literally aching to see him or he will be downright disgusting. He lets you set the tone and then he follows suit. In truth, he’d ask for pics of you all the time if you were down. If you’re apart for a bit he’ll ask you to snap a few in that cute little number he bought you and when he gets it, he’ll be like “fuck, im omw” and while you thought he was joking, he disappears on you for like 20 minutes before he’s knocking at your front door. He can’t leave sexting as just sexting for too long before he has to have a slice of the real thing.

Reina Hattori

God, do not send this woman overtly lewd texts! Please, she does not have a good poker face. She will read the text, her ears would turn red and she’ll send back a quick, “You stop that.” And while she seems unreceptive to the text, it certainly had its intended effect. She’ll spend the rest of her work day fanning her collar, fiddling with her necklace and rubbing at her neck in an attempt to soothe herself. Rile her up enough and she’ll find herself uncharacteristically spacing out when she should be fulfilling drink orders. She’ll be annoyed at you about it but surely you can make things right somehow?

Osamu Kashiwagi

He will just not respond. *crying face emoji* He’ll read it and it might even do a little something to him but he will not dignify that text with a response. He’d be lying through his fucking teeth if he said that it didn’t make his mind wander though. When he finally gets to see you, or if he can’t get to you, he’ll give you a call and grumble something along the lines of “Just what did you think you were getting at with that little message of yours?” Feel free to continue teasing him but he can only take so much before he’ll want you to ‘do something about it’.

Kazuma Kiryu

It’ll sorta throw him when you first send him something of that nature to the point that he’s not even sure what to say in response. He’d probably just send a single emoticon and (accidentally) immediately nip whatever mood you were hoping for in the bud. He won’t say so but he’d be a little disappointed that you didn’t say anything back. He didn’t want you to stop, he just didn’t know how to participate. Once he gets it though, he will try in earnest… Even if it doesn't quite get the job done. Prepare for short responses like “I want that too.” “Mm, sounds good.” “Ha, seems you know what I like.” “Hope to see you soon too. ” He’s TRYING for the love of God! He’s doing his best!

Goro Majima

There… was a time when he left his phone with Nishida because he couldn’t be bothered to keep up with it. He lost it all the time or he’s had to replace the screen because he was uh, roughhousing, for lack of a better word. The day you texted him something a little risque, and put both him and Nishida in a particularly awkward position, things changed. That when a little something like this:

Nishida: Excuse me, boss! Uh, looks like you just received a text from _____-san.

Majima: Oh, yeah? What’d ____-chan say then?

[Nishida opens the text thread. His eyes widen after reading the contents of the text. Red rises from his neck to his forehead and he’s looking at his boss with a horror unlike anything he’s ever shown the man before. Majima pauses what he’s doing for a moment and shoots a particular nasty frown at the younger man.]

Majima: The hell’s your problem? Ya got diarrhea or somethin’? Read the damn message shithead!

Nishida: B-Boss, I, uh.. I think it’s better if you read this one yourself.

Majima: What? Ya forget how to read all’a sudden? READ IT!

Nishida: C-C… *sweating profusely* C-can’t w-wait to.. Uh, Ehem…

Majima: Yer pissin’ me off. *stomps over to snatch the phone from Nishida* It ain’t that hard ta read a damn message! *clears throat* Can’t wait ta get my hands all over you. Dying to let you fuck…my throat… Huh… *sees there’s a pretty risque pic attached and immediately wacks Nishida in the head* YA LOOKED AT _____, ASSHOLE?!

Nishida: B-boss! I HAD DO IDEA IT WAS THAT KIND OF PICTURE OR I WOULDN’T HAVE OPENED IT!

Majima: FORGET WHAT THE HELLA YA SAW AND DON’T EVEN LET ME CATCH YA LOOKIN AT _____ WRONG OR I’LL SLICE YER EYES OUT MYSELF! *still whacking poor Nishida*

He, uh… He keeps his cell on his person these days.

Taiga Saejima

He’s like Kiryu in that he’s not good at responding to texts. Lewd or otherwise. When you send him any text, he will simply react to it. It’d take you telling him that he should say something back because otherwise your racy text thread would look a little something like this:

Probably best to keep the dirty talk to the bedroom?

Shun Akiyama

You’re pretty much the reason Hana refuses to allow Akiyama to use his cell while in the office. He sends you pretty racy messages himself throughout his work day and if you play along, he pretty much forgets anything but the conversation he’s having with you. He’s sent Hana on a “lunch run” just so that he could lock himself in the office, call you and pick up where you left off while he “took care of himself” before. Hana was none the wiser thankfully, otherwise she’d be a little hesitant about what she touches in that office.

The Value of Lies: Majima Boss Rush

Mild spoilers for Y0

A new Majima event! They added a few new cards alongside it

I had a moment of “huh, why’s Shimano from 1985 and not 1988? that’s too late for the YK2 flashback--oh NO............ during Majima’s torture in the Hole????”

anyways, Shimano is not in the event. sorry to the Shimano stans

Summary: 6 months into Majima’s stint as manager of the Grand, he’s still chasing after as much profit as he can and has scouted a new batch of hostesses. One of them seems lackluster, but there’s more to her than meets the eye...

[Half a year after Majima Goro had began working as the manager of the Cabaret Grand.] [The Grand's revenue had been steadily rising, but was still nowhere near the desired amount-- For the sake of further profits, Majima was aggressively scouting other clubs to refine his own business...]

<door opens, Majima walks in> Majima: ...Sawabe. How'd the new girls do today? (tl note: The name is 沢辺 which is pretty much just Sawabe or Sawanabe)

Grand Employee Sawabe: ...They seem to be doing reasonably well, the customers who like inexperienced girls have been asking for them. Majima: I see. Any gals seem like a standout?

Sawabe: I don't know about a standout, all of them have something special... except for one. Majima: ...Except one? What's goin' on with that?

Sawabe: ...There was one who just didn't seem very motivated. Her name is Arisa. Sawabe: But it's my job to make girls like that useful, so I've been trying to provide lessons. Majima: That's true. I appreciate the help. With how the number of customers keep goin' up, I'll take all the help I can get. Majima: Unfortunately I still gotta be out of the club, so you're my only hope for trainin' the girls here. Sawabe: Please leave it to me. Sawabe: I know that people are the same as water, if left alone they'll settle in low places.

Sawabe: I'll manage the new girls diligently, and make sure they're trained well. Majima: Please see that you do. Majima: ...And just to be sure, ya ain't gonna fall for some of the girls you're teaching and get handsy, right? Sawabe: ...Absolutely not. I could never allow my family to be on the street because I broke one of the club's rules.

[two weeks later...]

<the door opens, Majima enters> Majima: ...I'm back. How'd thing's go, and how were today's sales... huh? (tl note: TWO WEEKS DUDE???)

Sawabe: Ah, welcome back, manager. (tl note: oh okay Majima didn't walk in on hanky panky. my bad. sorry for doubting you Sawabe) New Girl Arisa: ...Well, I'm going back to the floor. Majima: ...Was that Arisa you were just talking to? Sawabe: Yes sir. She just lost her parents. But she still comes to work and does her training because she didn't want to miss any days... Sawabe: So I hear her out when she has difficult feelings that she can't express to the customers. Majima: .........I see. Sawabe: At first I thought she just wasn't motivated at all... I even scolded her a few times before realizing this was the case--she just couldn't get into the right headspace with all that sadness. Majima: ...And ya believe that? Sawabe: Huh? O-Of course. There was nothing to indicate she was lying. Majima: Gotcha. Majima: Seein' as she's havin' such a hard time, I ought to talk with her. <out on the floor> Majima: ...Arisa-chan. Ya got a minute?

Arisa: Yes? Can I help you with something? Majima: If you're makin' a play at Sawabe, it'd be best if ya stopped. Arisa: Huh? What are you talking about? I'm not making a play... Majima: ...Heh, I'm just sayin'. Majima: If ya have any troubles I'm also someone ya can come talk to. Arisa: Umm... Th-Thank you. If you'll excuse me. <she leaves> Majima: ............

[another 2 weeks later]

Sawabe: I'm sorry, Arisa. We can only meet up after everyone has already left. (tl note: I RETRACT MY PREVIOUS APOLOGY. SAWABE YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!)

Arisa: No, don't apologize. I'm the one asking unreasonable things... I know we can't let anyone find out about this. Arisa: Besides, I would be happy being anywhere with you, Sawabe-san. Sawabe: Arisa... Arisa: ...Still... The manager isn't going to be back today, right? Sawabe: Yep, he said he was heading straight home. Arisa: So then... it's really just the two of us. Sawabe: Yeah, just us two. .....But, is it alright if I do a bit of work first? Sawabe: It's the last day of the month, so I need to get our sales money so it can be transferred to the bank tomorrow. (tl note: Sawabe if you flake to go fuck a hostess and Majima gets the shit beaten out of him I'm going to throttle you on his behalf) Arisa: Okay, I can wait 🎵 Sawabe: I'm sorry. I'll get it done quick. <she leaves> Sawabe: Now then just gotta get the money out of the safe... <he opens it> Sawabe: ...Hmm? Oh, Arisa must have needed to use the restroom. Now then... huh!!?? <a bunch of goons rush in> Arisa: Sawabe-san. Thanks so much for opening the safe 🎵 ....Now I'll be taking allll the money in it.

Sawabe: Wh-... What the hell's going on? <a goon punches him> Sawabe: Guh... <he drops> Brawny Thug: That dumbass was a good mark for this... Have a nice nap. Arisa: Soooo cool 🎵 Thug's Pal: Hehe... Now we just stuff all this cash into the bag.

???: ...I went to all the trouble of warning you. Arisa: !? Majima: I already told ya, "If you're makin' a play at Sawabe, it'd be best if ya stopped".

Arisa: Wh-Why's the manager... Majima: I noticed ya gettin' awful cozy with Sawabe a little while ago. Majima: So I started doin' a little diggin' and figured out your plan. Had to be gettin' some thugs to rob the safe with ya--your parents aren't dead, your little brother doesn't exist, all ya've been doin' since ya got here is lying and cheatin' people outta money. Arisa: .......... Majima: And on top of trickin' Sawabe, here ya are tryin' to clean us out, which is a much bigger issue. Thug: Well... Even if all of that is true, how do you expect to get yourself out of this situation now? Thug: I don't see any cops around... Don't tell me you plan on handling this all by yourself? Majima: ...Of course I plan to. Thug: The hell? Are you mocking me! <goons rush in> Thug: That's just fine!! If you can do it, go ahead!!!!

Brawny Thug: N-... No way...

<he collapses> Arisa: ...! <Majima walks over> Majima: ...We're done here.

<he kneels down> Majima: Hey, can you stand? Sawabe: Ugh... S-Sorry... <they're both back to standing> Majima: Don't worry. I'll let ya off easy this time, since I knew what was happenin'. Think ya'll get tricked again? Sawabe: Th-Thank you so much...! Nothing like this will ever happen again...! Sawabe: But... I really didn't think Arisa would do something like this... Arisa: I'm sorry Sawabe-san, Majima-san... That thug was threatening me... that's why I... Sawabe: Eh...!? Majima: ...Are ya that stupid. Now I know ya ain't the kinda guy for this. On the other hand, you were the one that was trickin' that man, ain't ya? Sawabe: Eh... Wh-What do you mean? Arisa: ...Haa, I messed up. That guy said he was a former pro boxer, but he was way too weak.

Sawabe: A-Arisa... you... Arisa: I guess I can't fool you. Are you going to hand me over to the police? Majima: Heh, that's surprisingly upstandin' of ya. Majima: However, I ain't handin' ya over to the cops. Arisa: ...Huh? Majima: There's no profit to be made in that. Majima: I'd rather have ya work at the Grand again. Arisa: Work at the Grand...? Majima: Exactly. Of course, if ya run off or play hooky then I'll throw ya to the cops without mercy.

Majima: And you'll have to make yourself a diligent hostess and work hard--I'll forget about this whole thing if ya become a girl that earns more than ya were gonna steal from this safe. Arisa: ....... Majima: ...What d'ya say? Arisa: I will... return to working at the Grand. Majima: Heh, that settles it. Arisa: Sawabe-san... I'm sorry for deceiving you. I'll do my best from here on out. Sawabe: H-Hold on a minute, boss! I-Is that really okay? Even after all this... Majima: Mhm. Sawabe: I know I was the one who got scammed, so it might not mean much from me, but still... Arisa-chan has the worst sales out of the whole club.

Sawabe: And then she tried to rob us, so, is it really okay to hire that girl...? Majima: It's true that her sales were bad, but that's cause she was half-assin' it. Majima: You experienced first hand just how good she is at this, didn't you? Sawabe: ........... Majima: To keep up a deception like that, ya need all sorts of skills. Majima: You're much warier than most, but she still got her fingers on your purse strings-- Majima: Seein' that you're a very doubting person, she used a lie about her parents' death to get ya sympathetic-- Majima: Two weeks or so of keepin' up that lie, playin' the part of the girl ya'd want, all with the goal of slowly foolin' ya-- Majima: Even with the risk of "If I lose my job my family will be out on the street" ya still caved. Majima: Gettin' someone ya just met's guard down, gettin' them to open their wallet, lying to find out more about them-- Majima: And of course, keepin' up the lie so the person you're talkin' with doesn't catch on... Majima: To me, those are the ideal skills for a hostess. Majima: If she approached our guests with the same diligence that she went after you, I have no doubt that Arisa would be our number one. Majima: In order to make 100 million yen in sales, even though there's a risk, I'm not going to let a profitable woman like her go. Sawabe: ...You may be right, boss. Majima: Whew... Well, I'll see ya tomorrow, but... try not to get scammed again, okay? Sawabe: ...Y-Yes sir.

[Afterwards, when Arisa resumed working at the Grand, things went exactly as Majima predicted. With her ability to see through her customers and her skillful lies, she had one man after another captivated by her. Seeking to become the Grand's number one hostess, she has risen to the very top.]

Bonus stuff:

unrelated to this event they released a White Day Kiryu where he awkwardly gives you a return gift. I’m not even making fun of him that’s literally what the title of his card is

Ichiban got one too where he bashfully gives you a senbei

and then not a White Day card but still a guy giving a gift, we got a new KSR 1995 Nishiki

something I didn’t notice until looking through Nishiki’s cards is that they give a date on Nishiki’s new hairdo

ONE YEAR??? NISHIKI YOU ONLY HELD OUT A YEAR??????? it was Christmas in 1995 too so depending on when in 1996 this is it could be even less time. it does make it a kind of cartoonishly awful year for him to have experienced though, if you condense all of the flashbacks into that span. that’s rough buddy

enjoy him looking so sad and dejected (he failed to beat up Haruka)

Note

Have you played Yakuza 6 yet? If so ya got any kazumaji head canons based off the events of the game?

I absolutely love your ideas for them and I am beyond upset that Majima was barley in the game. Or even mentioned that much.

They did the boi dirty in this game, I swear.

*clenches my ass hard enough to shit diamonds*

oh I have OPINIONS about 6 I'll tell you that but it is good fodder for the kazumaji agenda 👀 I'mma be kinda rambly in this but I promise it all ties together kdjfjkldfkldf

so we all know Kiryu goes off to find Haruka and because I'm a big fan of dadjima, I can only imagine Kiryu lets him know while he's stuck in jail and Majima's just like WHAT

so Kiryu does a lot of self reflection but acting upon it is another matter. I can see Majima chastising him, saying she ran away cuz that's all Kiryu ever does (part of him is still pissy about him leaving in y3) and she's never had a healthy role model other than the king of hypocrisy. Kiryu would go on about how it's just to protect people yada yada but Majima would be like my guy, you left a bunch of kids in the care of your daughter who should not be parenting for you. you refuse any and all help because you think you can do it all on your own. you left me with Daigo who you said I wouldn't be babysitting AND YET—

I just want Majima to absolutely rail into him about how self serving he's acted despite better intentions. like of course Haruka ran away, look how much pressure she was under, what she went through in the idol bizz (maybe I'm a loser but I did not like Haruka's part in y5 that shit icked me), what you (Kiryu) do every time you feel like a burden to people. how naïve it was to think any part of Kiryu's past would leave him behind just because he wanted it to. how his lone wolf thing impedes on everybody else. how in 5 he literally says he needs to stop running from his past and he does it anyway. this game FRUSTRATES ME rrhrrhhrhrr KIRYU FRUSTRATES ME ACK. but also I have a thing for Majima just being angry at him, to actually lash out and spew all those feelings of being left behind or being refused to let help because Kiryu's stubborn. how he let himself be used all those years to help Kiryu out just because he asked and now once again Kiryu's off on his own, never changing his tune about how he doesn't wanna rely on people. Majima's not perfect either and frankly he communicates like shit too but I just want that RAGE to get out and explore how Kiryu would hear him but never listen. makes it all the more tragic when he finds out Kiryu "died."

*tho I must note, as much as it does irritate me, 6 makes sense entirely for Kiryu's character lol. nothing he does in it surprises me in the slightest so while I'm not a fan of the story, it's pretty fitting for him since he's the downfall of his own story half the time. and it's not so simple as just saying Kiryu's to blame. he's constantly forced to deal with shit just as much as he wants to be left alone. he struggles and he tries hard I'll give him that. I don't think he's a bad person for what he aimed to do in 6 but he's not infallible either. and sometimes it's just par for the course. like how he makes the compromise at the end of the game to disappear so his family can be at peace all the while in his history, he's had major problems doing what he's told - never truly disappearing anyway, going about whatever's gonna happen in gaiden. could you imagine if Haruka caught wind that some resting bitch face motherfucker is beating the shit outta armies somewhere? could you imagine her finding out that Kiryu left again?

honestly I think his character is really interesting cuz of this. he has good intentions and I feel like to him there's some expectation that people should understand this, that people should accept his choices. I think it's fun to explore how others react to that - how it's in a way offensive, that Kiryu thinks he knows what's best and how to handle it as if he has all the power and say. how pissed people feel about him shoving them away for the sake of their safety, etc. I don't think he'd listen to Majima tbh but I think it's important that someone unafraid of Kiryu's dumbassery would lay it out how it is to him in a way that cuts, more so than Haruka, Date or like Akiyama could.

ANYWAY, Majima's mad at him lol but can't really do anything atm due to the surrounding circumstances. I like to think he's got some of the Majima family watching out for Kiryu and Haruka if they happened to see them. Nishida at least cuz ain't no one gonna arrest a cutie patootie like him. it's not much but it's a little peace of mind. Majima knows Kiryu's reckless as all hell so he's worried and doubly annoyed that Kiryu doesn't care (about his own safety or that other people are concerned for him).

so since Majima has a fat 5 minutes in the whole game, there's not much to say about his involvement overall (other than oopsie stuck in jail) but I've had some thoughts about what all the jimas³ are doing in the meantime.

all the jimas are grouped together because I said so even tho realistically they'd prolly be separated lol. Daigo and Saejima are handling things well enough but Majima's bouncing off the walls in boredom and nothing irks him more than being stuck in one spot while Kiryu's out probably getting hit over the head with a stop sign and refusing medical attention. Daigo's losing his mind but he can agree Kiryu's bullheaded and talking about that keeps Majima distracted. Saejima does his part in trying to get Majima's mind off things now that they have all the time in the world to catch up on whatever.

time passes and I'm rewriting the part in 6 where they show up at the end cuz I live in a fantasy world.

Kiryu "dies" and suddenly the three of them are released early, no doubt knowing his death had something to do with it. Daigo gets Kiryu's letter and Majima makes some joke about Kiryu's literacy but a quick scan of the letter makes Daigo's face drop. he reads it and Majima doesn't think it's real. he doesn't know how to feel. even Saejima is in disbelief. but the letter is vague. it's conjecture written by Kiryu of his own death so there's a chance he's fine. Kiryu's fine, he's always fine. he's been shot and stabbed a million times, he's fine.

but it's not long till it's confirmed by Date. Daigo's skeptical cuz his inner punkass doesn't trust cops. Saejima's on the same page but Majima's in full denial whilst also believing it to be true. his reaction is immediate and violent. he wants something to be done, he wants revenge but Daigo wants to follow Kiryu's wish to avoid war. Majima's so outraged he frankly couldn't give less of a shit about Kiryu's wishes so it's up to Saejima to wrangle him back *insert a dramatic fight here.* Majima gets his ass beat and he's just a mess. things move fast though - the fate of the clan is up in the air and he just couldn't care. but Daigo needs him and for that he pulls it together, just barely.

fast forward to when the jimas go into hiding. they get set up in a lil safehouse via Nick Ogata. I like to see it as a basic bitch type of place, very out of the way, very ignorable but the inside is nice enough. they have to stay cooped up as much as possible and it drives Majima insane. he's fidgety, always pacing. Saejima tries to calm him down and it works for a time until Majima falls into another slump and repeats.

they took a few things with them that they could, mostly small stuff, some clothes and the like. Majima brought along a few of Kiryu's things, namely some pocket cars and a shirt. he wears it often, being very against washing it. Daigo's too stressed to notice but Saejima watches Majima just break down into someone he doesn't know. he's tired, closed off, guilt ridden. Saejima starts to think this is who Majima was after getting out of the Hole. a shell of a person taking blame for things out of his control. losing the will to care for himself as some sort of self imposed punishment for not doing more. seething in silence in the powerlessness.

his beard grows scraggly, his hair is unkept and the circles under his eye grows darker everyday. his behavior mimics his Sotenbori days where everything was for Saejima, all he could think about was Saejima, how he failed him, how if he tried hard enough he could see him again. it's not the case with Kiryu though. he didn't even get to see the body himself.

he's always on his phone reliving memories through photos and conversations. he freaks out when anyone touches the pocket cars and eventually the shirt gets worn out. he's spiraling while the others look on, unsure how to deal with someone whose entire personality revolves around having a fake one.

Saejima takes initiative. maybe he's seen Majima like this before or maybe he hasn't. doesn't matter because he gives Majima a bit of tough love, telling him to get a grip. telling him that Kiryu wouldn't want to see him like this and, under his breath, he needs him in better shape so they can beat the shit outta whoever was responsible. it's not easy of course. it takes Majima awhile to learn how to live again and frankly he doesn't want to talk about Kiryu but Saejima forces him to - to get comfortable with mentioning him, enjoying the memories they had. letting him know it's okay to be vulnerable. it's not a kind or pleasant recovery but it's there. it's helping.

and perhaps some time under supervision, he goes to see Haruka and meets Haruto for the first time. he tries to keep a strong façade for her but she can see right through him and gets one of those rare moments where he's just quiet. where he's real. she catches him up on things and it's a rough one for the both of them, especially since he has to keep the visit short. she doesn't bother asking him where he's going afterward but he promises to keep in touch and that he does. she sends him a lot of photos and videos of the family and he backseat-parents Yuta whenever possible. Haruka's never been a fan of always having Kiryu at arms length but this arrangement helps her deal with the long distance since there's effort on both ends to stay close.

Majima's not used to having others around to help him cope but he eases into it decently enough without the Tojo Clan on his shoulders. he even gets along better with Daigo who has time now to focus more on himself and the grunge within his soul. he's a silly lil dork and that charm reminds him of Kiryu but in a way that doesn't send him spiraling. he starts to see all reminders of Kiryu in a more hopeful light, one that brings back his energy. for most of their home confinement, Majima wouldn't even go out as Goromi since half his confidence came from Kiryu's support. but now and then, with Saejima and Daigo backing him, he can tiptoe a bit back into his fav dresses, ones that Kiryu gave him, ones that hurt to put on because of the baggage they carry. he doesn't even have his wigs anymore so he assembles what he can, how he can into something he knows Kiryu would have called pretty regardless. it stills hurts but it helps.

but, he'll always dip back into the pain of it all. missing intimacy and things taken for granted. he regrets his last words with Kiryu were criticisms knowing he's not perfect himself. maybe he's faced with realizations that he can't survive without certain people, that his attachment issues are brought to the forefront for everyone to see. it's ugly and embarrassing and for the first time in a long time he feels very seen. death's always been a reality for him and he's never cared much for it in regards to himself but losing someone so close, so suddenly? without closure or goodbyes? he's forced to deal with the frailty and mortality of someone he thought was invincible.

and it scares him.

wip weekend

been a while! still have a handful of raphtav WIPs in the works, but I've been neck-deep in yakuza lately and am trying my hand at some Freak Shit for my favorite Sicko Guys

this is zipper don't work (working title); y0 majima/goromi x nishitani

“Yer girls are all angels, Majima-kun,” Nishitani drawls. “Scrumptious lil’ delights, every last one.”

Majima waits for him to finish his thought, already wary of what he's about to say.

“But I’d trade ‘em all for an hour with their manager.” He laughs, breathless and abrupt. Majima doesn't quite wince.

But then Nishitani is close; so very close, looming over Majima’s left shoulder. So close that if Majima turned they'd be sharing the same breath, and it's more intimate somehow than if they were touching directly.

“You could be my gal, Majima-kun.” Nishitani’s voice is low and jolly and rumbling, just a hair’s breadth away from the cadence of a lecherous slurring drunk, colored with the blood dripping from his nose and skirting along the edge of madness. “Lemme buy you shit, knock my goddamn lights out. Anything ya want, huh?”

“The fuck you talkin’ –” Majima starts to snarl, but the older man hums mirthfully, smothering the hot simmer of irritation in his throat before it gets too frothy. He hates the way it feels to earn that reaction – disarming as all hell, warm, nauseating. Clenches his jaw; unclenches it again. This guy’s a freak.

“Slip inta somethin’ pretty, lemme take ya ‘round the city. Beat the shit outta anybody who gets in our way.” He cackles like a witch outta some fairy tale, and Majima feels a hot, lingering touch skate up the dip of his waist–

Then Nishitani’s on the ground on his back, a surprised huuunf leaving his lungs at the sudden impact. Strangely unguarded, like he’d been expecting the throw and allowed it to happen anyway. The sickening crack of his skull against the shiny floor rings in Majima’s ears as he lets go of the patriarch’s arm and straightens back up, towering over his lanky figure.

He doesn’t think he’s imagining the increased tightness of those burgundy suit pants. Not surprising at this point, but still so fuckin’ shameless.

“If I pay ya now for it, can I get tomorrow night too? Give the girlies the night off.”

Majima sighs. Rests a fuckin’ boot on Nishitani’s chest, just to get a rise outta him – and it does; he croons his obscene delight, stomach-turning and shameless and utterly validating.

“An’ then we’ll talk?”

“Like I said, babe. Anything ya want.”

Yakuza 6 VS The Larger RGG Fandom

I've had a lot of time to think about why Yakuza 6's ending is so hated by the wider fandom despite it not being poorly written, out of character or thematically dissonant to the rest of the game.

And it comes down to subconscious expectations. The expectations Yakuza 5 set, and 6 doubled down on without meaning to, and the failure to meet them.

[Spoilers for Yakuza 0, 5, 6, Infinite Wealth and allusions to Kiryu's Gaiden game.]

If you stop and think about it Yakuza 6's ending closely mirrors Majima and Makoto's ending in Yakuza 0. Two scenes of someone walking away and giving up the chance at an important connection in their life, to protect that person (or people).

So why do people despise it in 6 if so many of them really enjoy the tragedy of it in 0?

Yakuza 0 begins setting up the impossible odds Kiryu and Majima are up against early on. And it delivers on that with an ending where they don't win, not meaningfully. The Tojo Clan, its executives (Shimano, Sera, Kazama, ect) are unharmed by the squabble, they lose no power because of it. The only one who faces long term consequences & loss of power is Dojima, because both Kazama and Sera conspire against him (and use Kiryu & Majima as their weapons to achieve this). Kiryu and Majima are just too far down the power structure to make meaningful change to it. So sure, they win their final fights, they get a bit of peace from the clan wide hunts that were set on them, but they don't win. So Majima giving up the chance to have Makoto in his life...it just feels like a natural part of that whole bittersweet mess. By the time the scene arrives it's what the player expects, even if it tears your heart out.

Yakuza 5 opens on Kiryu in conflict. He's the most visibly miserable and angry we've ever seen him. Because a wedge has been pushed between him and Morning Glory (and Haruka specifically). He clearly hates it, but he's been convinced its for the better. This naturally sets up the expectation that the resolution to his story in this game, will be the situation being fixed. The game fails the first step of this by killing off Park before her arch can be finished and leaving her and Haruka in the lurch. And then the game proceeds not to deliver on this resolution, Kiryu collapses in the snow, he doesn't see the Morning Glory kids again. Haruka arrives just before he loses consciousness.

The lack of resolution here doesn't frustrate too much, because the game is subtextually saying "if there's a yakuza 6, that's when this will be resolved". So we can all content ourselves in the mean time. (I do feel pity for the fans who had to wait all those years, I was lucky to get into the series long after 6 had released and didn't have to wait to know whether Kiryu died in the snow).

Yakuza 6 opens in a way I don't think any fan would expect from a game that starts to tell us its the end of Kiryu's saga. (It wasn't, obviously, but I fully believe personally that it was planned to be at the time. So I read the themes and intentions of the story from that perspective). The three Jimas get carted straight out of the story, despite Majima & Daigo's personal importance to Kiryu, poor choice, but whatever. And Kiryu decided to go back to prison, thus undoing his character growth in Yakuza 1 where he realised that doing so didn't help anything. That it was a selfish need to martyr and not a noble action, but whatever. Things pick up after this.

We're immediately set at odds to resolving that still ongoing issue of Kiryu & Morning Glory, left feeling jilted by the sudden knowledge that Kiryu lost another 3 years to prison without seeing the kids. But once he's finally out the first place he returns to is Okinawa, and we get a sweet reunion.

And I think this is where the writers think they have resolved what was set up in Yakuza 5, and thus move ahead with the rest of the plot unburdened. But in actuality this reunion isn't really resolution, all Kiryu does is spend 5 minutes with them, he's been gone for 5 years, the discontent ends when he gets to/chooses to stay at Morning Glory again. Not see it briefly.

The reunion ends up reinforcing that the conflict from 5 is ongoing, not resolving it. Oops.

The rest of the plot progresses and Kiryu goes to find Haruka, then track down Haruto's father, all the while the game is steeped in this feeling of things coming to an end. Of things almost being over. Underlining the feeling in the player that Kiryu's story is coming to an end. And after so much hardship, and so much misery in recent years, of course we expect a happy ending. Or at least we hope. And the game does nothing to dissuade that notion.

Finally we come to the ending, and Kiryu realising that no matter what he does that people will never stop targeting the people he cares about while he's still alive. And he once again makes a noble sacrifice to protect them. (The repeat of this behaviour grates to see, even if he is mostly correct in this instance).

He walks away. From Haruka, from everyone at Morning Glory. He walks away from any possible happy ending. And the game, in one horrible moment, without even realising we were still expecting this, rips away the assumption that it was ever going to resolve that conflict that started all the way back in the opening of Yakuza 5. Leaving us feeling frustrated, confused, disappointed, and such.

I can't help but lament this particular blunder of writing, because taken out of this context, Yakuza 6's ending is a beautiful tragedy. It elicits the same feelings as that scene with Majima walking away in the street. It's bittersweet. It's sad, and that's the point. You're sad in just the same way as Kiryu.

But I don't think the scene was written taking in larger context. Kiryu's had a life of massive hardship, struggling for so long to achieve a peaceful civilian life. In larger context, this ending just says "and he never got that". Which is kind of demoralising to hear about such a beloved character.

The ending seems to sour a lot of people on the entire game, and if it did for you I urge you to give the rest of Yakuza 6's story a second shot. The tone of the game, the pacing, the almost liminal feeling of Ono Michi... I think so much of 6 is beautiful. And if not for the ending, the Jimas non-presence, and perhaps the unnecessary and frankly strange inclusion of the Jingweon mafia that a lot of people would recognise much of the game as some of RGG's best writing (not ahead of Yakuza 0 or Yakuza 7, necessarily, but just after them).

I especially hope people can rethink their position now that 6 isn't the end of Kiryu's saga or his story.

His Gaiden game didn't give a resolution to this conflict either but Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth did.

A lot of people have quite fairly reached a point where they need to see it with their own eyes (quite fair after 4 games of this), and threw their hands up at that final cutscene ending just before we could see it, but Kiryu and Haruka did reunite. Kiryu did decide to fight his cancer and live as long as he could. And I think, or hope, that however long he has he spends with all those kids that have grown up now. That more of them come to visit.

I know this is gonna sound pretty random but since I started playing Yakuza 6 (dw I won't spoil anything!!) I've been wondering how the boys would react to finding a baby and how they would take care of it while they find out what happened/take the baby back to their parents/etc. Feel free to use your imagination as how they found the baby (ex.: the classic "left it at your front door inside a straw basket lmaoo)

If possible do hc for all the boys pls 🙏🙏🙏

sksksk this is so funny to me, yes it's babey time. My apologies for such a late reply, been taking my time coming up with these. Love you guys, mwah. Headcanons below da cut, it's a long one. So many boys...

Kazuma Kiryu

His first thought: what the heck is a baby doing by itself out here. His second thought: if I don't care for this baby, who will? Pretty well practiced with kids so the most difficult thing is actually figuring out who the baby is and what happened to them. Type of guy to tell a baby to stop crying and have the baby actually listen magically.

Majima Goro

Similar reaction to Kiryu except louder and much faster. Baby is now number one priority. Protecting baby is now the most important thing. Will literally walk on water to figure out who the baby is, what happened to them, and most importantly, how to help them. Zero clue how to care for kids though so he mostly calls Kiryu for help.

Akiyama Shun

Clueless as hell and not afraid to admit it. Kind of just bullshitting his way through the whole taking care of a baby thing but he does think the baby is awful cute. Hana lends him a hand whenever Akiyama goes out to figure out more info on the baby. Pretty good at playing peek-a-boo with the baby though.

Saejima Taiga

Mostly confused by the fact that the baby doesn't instantly burst into tears upon seeing him as Saejima is kind of used to most people being freaked out by his appearance. Finding info about the baby is easy, it's the care itself that's hard. Treats the baby oh so very delicately. They take naps together a lot, typically with the baby in its crib, which Saejima most likely built himself, while Saejima naps on the floor next to it with his hand lazily draped over the edge of the crib.

Tanimura Masayoshi

Shockingly a natural with kids. Secretly dedicates a lot of his time on the job digging into the baby's past. Typically when he's working, he leaves the baby at Homeland. For some reason, he's really good at comforting babies when they cry. Fights tooth and nail to find out who this baby is as he feels some part of himself relating to the baby.

Ryuji Goda

This baby is an Omi Alliance issue now. Ryuji kind of relates personally to the baby as he himself felt so disconnected from his own childhood. Puts his Omi resources into not just learning info about the baby but also having the best care in the meantime. The baby's gonna have a nice crib with nice pajamas and a nice bottle and the baby's gonna have all that now, today, immediately, because Ryuji said so.

Nishikiyama Akira

Do not give him a baby, he doesn't know what the heck to do. Just as scared as the baby honestly. Similar to Saejima in that solving the mystery of who this baby is is actually quite easy, especially with Tojo resources. Nishiki does not understand babies. Type of dude to just ask the baby what they want as if the baby can answer. Poor guy, he's just trying his best.

Daigo Dojima

Mostly just wondering who the heck leaves a baby on the steps of the Tojo Clan Headquarters. Kind of just resigns himself to being a temporary dad until the situation gets sorted. Assigns some men to dig up info on the baby but handles the baby's care himself. Secretly thinks babies are adorable and is one of the most doting of the boys, almost on a similar level to Kiryu.

Mine Yoshitaka

Just as clueless as Nishiki but will not show his frustration because he, as silly as it sounds, refuses to be bested by a baby of all things. Kind of guy to kick himself down the line for getting himself so attached to said baby without realizing it. Similar to Daigo, he delegates the info gathering to some of the men below him. His job is more office related like Daigo's so he cares for the baby personally, but mostly out of efficiency, at least at the start of things.

Tatsuo Shinada

Caring for a lost baby is easy, but when it comes to figuring out who this baby is, he's kind of at a loss. Might honestly call up Daigo to ask for assitance, to which Daigo will probably say something like "What the heck do I know about finding information on babies?". Shinada's natural talent is playing with babies. Probably buys more toys than he can afford or that the baby would ever need.

Ichiban Kasuga

Ever the optimist, Ichiban isn't really phased by a lost baby. He and his friends will figure out who the baby is and care for the baby together, like a big happy family. The baby loves playing with his hair, which he resents at first but eventually thinks it's super cute. Calls the baby all kinds of silly pet names.

Tianyou Zhao

Honestly, he would just call up Ichiban and ask him to look after the baby while he goes out to figure out who this baby is and what to do with them. Zhao eventually learns that he does in fact think babies are cute and that he's really good at rocking them to sleep. Babies really like hearing him sing for some reason too. The baby can't stop trying to grab his glasses though, much to Zhao's annoyance and Ichiban's entertainment.

Joon-Gi Han

If he found a baby, he'd just go straight to Seonhee and ask her what they should do. Seonhee would honestly be the one gathering intel, especially with all the surveillance the Geomijul has, which means Joon-Gi still gets stuck babysitting. Treats babies super gently given his abusive childhood and he'd absolutely kick himself if physical harm ever came to the baby. Would give Seonhee a full break down of what the baby did that day even if she didn't ask. Also good at remembering what the baby likes, especially things like food.

Majima's freedom and Kiryu's naivety

So, Kiryu has a way of coping with his social difficulties by adopting strict rules and beliefs to guide himself through human interactions. This helps him out a lot, but also makes him very resistant to change and hard-headed sometimes. And sometimes even cruel.

Like, for instance, let's take Majima. Kiryu really admires him, and trusts him, and believes that Majima is very capable and can handle anything life throws his way. And technically this is super sweet, and amazing, but Kiryu believes it so wholeheartedly that it becomes cruel naivety.

And one of the first times we properly see this is in Kiwami, in the scene on the pier. After helping Kiryu out big time all through the story and in that momrnt, Majima got shot in the stomach, and fell into the freezing December waters of the Tokyo Bay. And Kiryu sees this and just… leaves. He has more pressing matters to deal with. Majima-san will be fine, he's Majima-san, after all. He can survive anything. Even swimming out of cold waters alone while bleeding his guts out, apparently (oh, the desire to punch Kiryu in that moment, we could barely contain it).

And in our playthrough this happened almost right after we finished Majima Everywhere, so it was twice as gutpunchy of a dick move.

Nevermind that Majima survived this. Of course he did, that's all he does in his life when he's pressed against the wall (or depth of the ocean). The point is that he shouldn't be put in these situations, especially by people he trusts.

(This thing with Kiryu thinking that Majima can handle anything and doesn't need any help at all will keep going on and on in the future, each time becoming more and more of a shitty thing pull. It includes things like, let's say, making Majima come back to Tojo in y3, leaving him to deal with the Nishikiyama family, and so on. But there's bit more to it at play than naïve beliefs by that point, We'll get to it in time.)

And yes, this was a long winded intro to saying that Majima had all the rights to be pissed at Kiryu after that and ram the bathhouse with the truck at full speed. It seems that he threatened the girl there just for show. He talked politely to her and let her go immediately when she said she's in love with someone.

Kiryu deserved this ass whooping, 100%.

(We also strongly believe that after this incident Majima bought Shangri-La. Like, both the building and the business. But, since it was connected to unpleasant memories and he just really didn't like the place, Majima left it as it is. Didn't touch it at all since then)

(And this is why even as far as y6 Shangri-La is still standing there, boarded up, empty, the place where the truck hit the building still clearly visible and only getting more decrepit with age)

So, anyways, Kiryu and Majima don't see each other for a bit after that. Majima has time to cool off, think about it more… and then news come in. Shimano is dead, and in an indirect way he's dead because of Kiryu. Shimano who put Majima through the worst hell and then back. Shimano who Majima stayed with, even after all that, pretending to be unruly and free. Shimano, who Majima was unable to break away from, almost freezing each time he was around. It's been over a decade of mad dog barking on a leash. And then bam, Shimano is gone. Thanks (somewhat) to Kiryu.

Imagine what this does to a man. To Majima. After all these years. After Majima Everywhere.

And he sends Kiryu this text.

And it is already a lot. But with this context, knowing the story of y0, I doubt my or Majima's heart will ever be still.

He'll need some time to process all this. To really grasp that he is really truly free now. To realise that Kiryu somehow helped him get his freedom. To understand what being free even means.

So Majima will not be available, will be out of it for a while afterwards. Missing the finale of the game and some context.

But, get this, there’s even more – later everyone learns that Kiryu didn't kill Dojima. And, see, Majima already kinda made his peace with it. He had to live for 10 years knowing Kiryu, with all his big words about honour and not murdering people, still did it. For whatever reason he had, it doesn't matter. He got down from his idealistic horse and got dirty like the rest of them.

And it's not like Majima cared. Not like it meant something to him, this small corner of his heart that sorta maybe felt good seeing Kiryu stubbornly prevail with his beliefs intact even in the most gruesome places. Whatever, amaright? Majima is fine. He moved on, and can still appreciate Kiryu's company even with this smal pang of something not being the same anymore.

And then. It turns out Kiryu never stained his hands with blood. At all. He went through prison to help his brother, not that this sounds familiar to Majima, and-

Majima will be processing all this for a while.

12 and 13 for ask game!

the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

mirei park. do I understand why some people don't like her? yes absolutely. what she did to kiryu I can fully get bothering people, and I can understand people who don't like her because they don't like her relationship with majima (not that she's to fault for it but just more so the idea that majima would do that) but genuinely though gamerbrosTM are so fucking annoying about her that it made me like her more after finishing the game. if I have to see one more gamerbro say her getting an abortion was an awful thing for majima and centering his feelings when a woman has a right to abort a kid if she wishes to and also he was the one in canon who y'know. hurt her. and notably majima realized he fucking fucked up and left the very next day and never talked to her ever again. like I can get people who don't like her/the relationship bc they think it's ooc even though I think blaming her for it is :/ (I mean the relationship isn't something to like obviously I just mean more so how it affects how they think of her) but seeing people say she was wrong for aborting the kid and deserved to get hit fuck you and never talk to a woman irl ever again

and again these same people act like she's the worst character because she did that to kiryu but I've seen more general love for someya who was a y6 villain who was a piece of shit to his partner or just men who are worse then her but because she's a woman and is mean and does a fucked up thing in her first apperance she's the worst alive

and like this is the same series where mine yoshitaka is a beloved character and he destroyed an entire oprhanage because he wanted the land the orphanage was built on. and those kids were hurt by his men. but mirei who genuinely did seem to want the best for haruka's dream as an idol, who knows the horrors of the idol industry and the danger of rumours and y'know what happens to your idol career if people know you have a relationship with a yakuza finds out kiryu is Yakuza and gaslights kiryu into him thinking he's not a good influence to his kids and that he should leave and that if haruka wants to be an idol he needs to go is evil and a bitch. which. is wrong. she is wrong for this. but I'm saying the double standards here are fucking insane

like they're both wrong. they both fuck up but the thing is. they're both also given sympathy by the narrative. mirei and Haruka have a sweet dynamic she buys her clothes and plays games with her and does care abt her !!!! and mirei does do a lot less harm then mine who is a Yakuza patriarch!! but she gets all the hate for daring to be a woman who is mean and complicited and messy. like I get why some people wouldn't like her but the way gamerbros talk about her is fucking insane they act as if she's the worst character in the series (I've seen ppl say she's worse then fucking oda who y'know. trafficked women) is insane because g-d forbid a female character being given character traits the male characters in these games have.

anyway this really wasn't me talking abt why people should like her but I guess my answer is if you like male characters who are similar to mirei then well. why don't you like her (again her and mine r different but that's the closest comparison I got) ALSO her relationship with Haruka is sweet Haruka says she's like a mother to her and thats :")

worst blorboficiation

sigh. i've already said majima so i don't wanna say him again </3 but know he's the first one that popped into my head for this. anyway i guess my answer for this is..... damn my brain really really wants to say majima 😭😭 but i guess uh maybe marc spector. i think this is mainly a twitter thing but I've seen so many people talk abt marc as if he's just some badass cool guy and that he's that guy™ and such a surface level take of who he is and genuinely tend to ignore his past or the wrongdoings he has committed. or just. any of the complicated aspects of the character (the show made all of this way worse)

marc spector was a bad person who did horrible things and is trying to change and often ends up right back at where he started but depsite that, despite how much he hates himself he keeps trying to protect people, he keeps being a hero even when he earnestly believes the man behind the mask is anything but. and He has an addiction to violence that's completely and utterly unhealthy for him. and he admits to this. and yet people will see that and go marc spector is just THAT GUY™ and it's such a surface level take of him that I despise.

More than late to MerMay, but I was once again struck with inspiration from none other than literally one of my all-time favorite blogs, @majimasleftasscheek

Brahk this is a love letter to you and your content. I adore your art and every time you post, I FEAST. I recently played Pirate In Hawaii, and became SO NORMAL ABOUT IT!! Augh it was sooo good!! So silly yet so serious, the perfect mix for Majima.

Despite this being likely the roughest, quickest sketch that will inevitably never see any further development after this post, I hope that someone takes this idea and, uhm... Does something, I guess? Maybe think about it? Idk man. ANYWAYS!

I wish to throw my hat into the ring of Majima Normal People (patent pending), and introduce Gaia Majima to the world. This one's a doozy, but stay with me on this one!

CW: Graphic depictions of violence, minor gender dysphoria, technical de-transitioning (she wanted it though), but it's only there if you squint really really hard, Author Wants To Put Her In Situations (tm)

---

The year the hit happened seemed so... uneventful yet somehow the most chaotic year in her life. She changed her whole life around just for this one chance at something no woman dared to do before her. It took a whole new identity, and sketchy hormone therapy from an even sketchier doctor who extorted her for more money than needed, but she was here.

Or, rather, he was here.

Goro Majima was the name she went by, but the lines blurred between two identities and one. When her chest flattened out, and her muscles started to develop, her gender identity was in question. But she had to play the role, because there was no way that this life would treat a woman so kindly. But, at the same time, didn't it also defeat her entire purpose? She wanted to be a woman in the yakuza, yet here she was, being treated like a man.

She stared at herself in the bathroom mirror, shaving cream on her face. Sucking up the uncertainties, she pressed the razor to her skin and pulled down. Fighting the feelings of misplacement, she tore away swathes of thick facial hair around her jawline, leaving only the stubble around her mouth to remain. The cold water that she brought to her face did little to wake her up, as the feeling of dread sank in her gut. Clenching the sink's rim, her mind flickers across every single detail. Every painstakingly precise scenarios, every dreadful reveal of her identity, anything that could possibly go wrong.

Her eyes flick to the doorway, landing on a clock she could barely see from where she was standing.

She was going to be late if she didn't stop wallowing in self-pity.

---

Her pupils constricted, her heart races as she realizes what's about to happen. The blade was right over her eye, she could almost feel it press into the cornea. Her breathing picked up, sweat coating her body in a sickly sheet below her suit. She could feel it run down her back in a revolting chill, and her mind had only seconds to process the blade pulling back from her face.

Relief.

... Until there wasn't anything left to feel but white-hot, agonizing, brutal pain.

Blood trickled down her cheek in a steady drip, drip, drip. She could almost mistake it for tears, if not for the horrid discomfort that the warmth seeping from her left eye set in to her mind. But thats not even touching on the pain. It was so bad she could almost pass out, but by some sick and twisted miracle, she was awake to feel every mind-twisting moment of sheer terror and every inch of her body screaming out as it gets beaten and bloodied.

---

The Hole was even less kind to her. This hadn't been one of the ways she dreaded to be discovered, but the truth was here and now. Away from her friends, her brother, her home and safety, not knowing if those she loved more than anything including herself were even alive... It threatened to break her every hour she spent confined to this room. Chained to the walls and forced to kneel, she had to stare at the long and disproportionate lanky mess she calls a torso. It was coated in blood, painted in various hues.

Messes of browns and reds and pinks and blues and purples. Mired all over her body without discrimination. The sad mounds she once called breasts were slashed to hell, the ink in her skin faded and ruined by scarring and open wounds alike. Her knees hurt from being forced to sit on them, and the sight of her blood in a similar state to her body stained the floor that she couldn't take her eye off of.

A drip of blood fell from her left cheek, joining the amassing puddle below her.

How long had it been, now? A month, maybe two? Three? Six?

---

She'd lost count of the days long ago. Around month 5, if she'd hazard a guess. But on the outside, she was told outright. "Ya stayed in there a whole year, tiger. Real fuckin' impressive, considering you came out the other side alive. Not many count themselves among the few who walk out of there, much less the ones who don't come out grovelling and begging to be killed the moment they take their first breath of air."

The sting of alcohol wipes made her flinch, but she knew better than to bite the hand that feeds. Instead, she just tightened her grip on the towel haphazardly draped over her shoulders until her bloodied and bruised knuckles turned whiter than the gauze covering her body.

She was expected to live a regular life after the hell they put her through? That was far worse torture than anything they could do to her back down there. But once more, she bit her tongue and held her silence. She'd need to get used to doing this, for her own survival.

---

She'd given up her love for that blind woman, knowing that any association with her would paint a target on her back. If she really loved Makoto, she'd spare her a life of fear just because Gaia wanted to be loved.

So, she resolved to never let anyone in again. Never would they get so close to her that they'd be irreplaceable. That way, when they inevitably get hurt, she didn't feel a thing.

"... Well shit, that was nice 'n all, but I was such a fuckin' sap! Went through all that shit just 'ta learn fuck-all? They had me hook, line, 'n sinker! Then, I find you, just outta chance? I was livin' the craziest, boldest life I could while keepin' everyone at arm's length, then ya strolled right on in like ya owned the place!"

Gaia's gaze met the floor for only a second, before raising back up to his face once again. "Granted, ya do now, but back then? Fuck me, if I'd had known I woulda met a hunk like you, I'm sure I'd have looked harder! All that time, tryna look out for myself and not get close 'ta anyone so I couldn't lose 'em, only to immediately go back on that and fall head over heels for ya?

more saejima thoughts

the fact that what GOT to saejima during that argument was majima saying he's being unsupportive and unfair to majima. that he's failing majima as his brother. that got him SO bad that even minami and nishida were like OOF. you know what that means? that means saejima has been feeling like hes failing majima for far longer than this. he gets out of prison after 25 years to finally be reunited with his brother only to find that something has gone badly wrong with him. he has become completely inaccessible. unreachable. he cant be earnest to save his life. majima has spent decades trying to provide a place for saejima, betrayed and ruined himself in the process, and saejima wants to pay him back. and he tries. he tries so hard. and he can't. because whats left of majima is barely salvageable.

majima HAS to feel useful. has to feel like hes doing SOME good for SOMEONE. this is why he cant fully sever ties with the clan. having people depending on him, people who need him, is what keeps him going. he needs purpose. so. so badly. he can never leave the clan because the moment he does the depths he will sink to will be so dark no one will be able to pull him out of it. THIS is where hes at during infinite wealth. THIS is the last majima saejima remembers. this is why saejima, despite being the most well adjusted of the three, was still at rock bottom With them. because he couldnt help majima. nothing would work. guy was sleeping with a bottle of sake in his bed. saejima is the majima to majima's kiryu. try to help the guy and fail over and over. because he wont let anyone help him. because hes too preoccupied with helping others. i cant imagine the burnout of trying to be majimas emotional crutch. majima knew better than to try with kiryu.

all this while majima casually tries to shoo him off the island. their distrust is mutual. majima is incredibly uncharitable to saejima because all he knows is that 1. he used to be a real piece of shit and 2. that version of himself called THIS guy his brother. doesn't reflect well on saejima at all. if he was That bad, and saejima claims to be a strong as he is, what does that say about saejima? of course he's trying to send him away. saejima is here to take his second chance away from him. who gives a shit if hes breaking his heart? he probably doesn't deserve compassion, just like majima doesnt. right? theyre both yakuza after all. the bigger the legend attached to their name, the worse the yakuza. right?? noah's dreams are infinitely more important than any duty shared between the likes of Them.

i am so fucking normal right now

#yapping #saejeem #majima gaiden #i havent slept in a very. long time #and im running on 4 hours of sleep

And if I’m entirely to succumb to candor? Betwixt you and I, after lengthy contemplations, I think Majima falls first. He’s not happy about it.

It’s been uncomplicated to say that Mizuki had harboured more affection towards him since the first time they met, and even after they meet again—though that’s not “in love” per se. It’s more relief than love. She’s more fond of him at first than him of her, yes. She likes him because he’s nice to her. No, scratch that. Not necessarily nice; he’s crass, rude, a thorn. He just isn’t forcing himself on her, and that’s more than enough reason for her to get (obscenely) attached to the idea of him. Even if it’s not love. Until it is

Mizuki is not very good at being in love, in general (not that he is). She doesn’t get the memo. She’s hectic with self-loathing. They care for each other a great deal, but it takes time. The one good thing he does is not tell her or signal it in any way that might scare her off. I think she’s very averse to being loved as much as she craves it. She’s arrantly repulsed. The most difficult part here is for Majima to reconcile with her emotions that want to deny being loved.

He goes, “I want to say that I don’t love you more than you want to hear it, but I love you to the point of betraying myself, I learned the damn lesson, so let me” you know? He’s soooo guilty. So so so much guilt. Constantly eating away at him for letting her make choices for herself that benefit him and are detrimental to her even if she does everything just to be with and around him. (They would never meet in a normal life, nor would he look for her again if she left the circles he’s in.)

She says, “I selfishly wanted you to push me away. I wanted someone to want what’s best for me, but I realize that I also wanted to be wanted. And the two can hardly coexist.”

“Stop being so understanding! “I don’t mind you waiving your goodness to keep me around. I did the same.” Do you hear yourself? Don't be like that. At least berate me.” Yet she cannot bring herself to resent him. She could, but she doesn’t engage in hackneyed debates…

Whole time, she’s entirely convinced that he is incapable of loving her, BTW. Because she’s “in no need of saving.” Because if he loved her *enough*, he would have let her go. Insisted on it. Wouldn’t heed to her augury. Nope. He decides to be selfish enough to keep her around because she keeps flaming him for living a life full of missed connections. He’s done this “leave for the better” shit one too many times already, why bother? Does he feel guilty anent it the whole time? Hell yeah. But does it also feel good to selfishly cling to that connection even if it hurts her or both of them? Yeah, it does. Bastard. But he deserves this as much as she believes she does.

[He's hit his threshold with doing what's "best" for others; he's lost the impulse to be a martyr, because he caught a glimpse of what he is like through her. So when he realizes he loves Mizuki, he doesn't try to become a better version of himself to "earn" her or to be the person she "deserves" — instead, he wants her in all his flawed, toxicitiy galore’s glory…….].

epiphonema: Despite all this… despite their unwillingess to leave when things get out of hand… they really do love each other. She probably doesn’t fathom just how much he loves her. Majima’s love towards her is very, very intrinsically different from his love for both Makoto and Mirei. It’s selfish and bastardized. Imperfect. But she’s also vain, wanting him for sex and closing her heart off for as long as she humanly can. Cognizant of her own conceit… She wants him to love her imperfectly, too. Like I’ve quoted, “to the point of betraying himself.” Aaand scene.

@majimaisms Ok ended up just using this as an excuse to soapbox about my vision of the world but like. ok i think in essence what fascinates me so much about the dysfunctionality of majima & daigos relationship during the times when its Just Them is like. im trying to figure out how to word this in a way thats coherent at all but like theyre kind of trying to slot each other into a role in their lives they dont fit because they need someone in that role to function.

like for a gross oversimplification of some of majimas problems majima needs someone to Bother to function and obviously number 1 on this list is saejima and the thing is this works well because saejima at his core is someone who is primarily interested in helping other people - like 1) his childhood dream was to become a teacher which obviously is all about nurturing other people and helping them grow up and chase their own dreams 2) contrary to the vast majority of the other characters who we have a backstory for, saejima getting into the yakuza was not self-serving in the slightest because his only goal was to save yasuko 3) frankly if you dont want to fix people why the hell are you swearing up with majima charity case number 1 goro - and has the emotional intelligence and stability and also physical strength to navigate Dealing With Majima in an actually constructive way as opposed to almost everybody else in this series. HOWEVER. when saejima is gone, issues start cropping up and cropping up badly, because majima will find other people to use as makeshift saejimas who are really not suited for this. with varying amounts of success. so obviously kiryu is one of these, but when kiryu leaves for morning glory, the only person majima has left to slot into this role is daigo, who also has plenty of his own issues but also notably does NOT have the physical or mental capacity to manage Dealing With Majima in a constructive way, especially long-term, so when majima uses him as his person to Bother as his usual coping mechanism it puts an immense amount of strain on their relationship because majima is not getting a constructive or helpful response like he would if this were saejima, and of course daigo is being saddled with all of majimas Mental Illness because he has no other outlet and this is tremendously not good for him.

similarly with daigo what he really wants and needs is a shoulder to lean on from someone who is older and more experienced and can be a source of advice & comfort when hes lost because frankly he has no idea what hes doing and, despite the fact that he's given himself up entirely for this job and is doing everything to the best of his ability, everyone's out to get him and he always has to be watching his back. and this role obviously in an ideal world would be filled by kiryu who is not only daigos predecessor but also father figure and in general someone who daigo has an immense amount of respect for and also on a surface level view seems to be pretty mentally sound, but reality is not so kind and kiryu shows up for half a week when the latest tojo clan crisis breaks out and then immediately leaves again once its resolved. so majima gets to be daigo's pillar instead, but. well majima is Majima. so daigo has to slot majima into this role to plug the gap that kiryu has left but this obviously puts an immense strain on their relationship because majima is in no way shape or form equipped to be an emotional support for frankly anybody on planet earth at this point in his life, daigo included, and daigo has nobody else in his life that can fulfill this emotional need/critical support relationship so even though majima cant be that for him daigo has to treat him like it anyways or else hes just going to completely fall apart under the weight of it all alone.

so in essence basically theyre using each other for an emotional support relationship that neither of them can provide because theyre really not fit for it at all and so on weekends they go abuse substances and beat the shit out of each other and then patch each other up because everyone else has left and as miserable as it all is all they have is each other

like really what i want to see is them leaning progressively more and more on each other because everyone else in their lives is gone and for better but mostly worse all they have is each other but because neither of them have any actual grounding it mostly just causes their relationship collapse in on itself

#^additionally this is why introducing saejima to the majima & daigo dynamic makes everything so much better #because saejima can fill both of those relationships they need so badly and they can help him fulfill the role of Guy Who Helps People #but this is a side discussion.#jimas

as yours (viii); winter break

𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: sukuna ryomen x reader

𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬: 4,024

𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭: fluff, comedy, a hint of violence, college au, mention of gang fighting/ involvement, a sprinkle of angst (future updates), cursing and swearing, slow-burn relationship, SIMPKUNA

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: "as a child, you have harbor a massive crush on Itadori Yuji; it wasn't until that college happened you dared to ask him. Trying to give him a letter, the one who you ended up giving to was no other than his no-good twin brother, Sukuna Ryomen."

𝐚/𝐧: finally I am back, I wanted to make sure that this get posted this time. Plus tumblr buffer my work, so I had not choice in the end and force to delete it, it was originally around 3k words, but after adding and editing more it got around to barely 4k, which was a feat and should be enough to make it up for lost time.

chapter 7 ✿ chapter 9

You lay in bed, looking at every plushie won for you. It was hard to get them inside Sukuna's car since he was stuffing them like it was a Thanksgiving feast. But then a thought rush through your mind. "How do they even know my name?!" You sit up in bed, ponder how that Majima guy even got a hold of it. No one knew, besides your friends and family, even a few people you don't like. The feeling of unease weighs in. You surf back into your memory and gauge how Sukuna is one-hundred on the line of knowing Majima; the way he loses his temperament for a second and blinks it away speaks for itself.

Remembering that Sukuna gave you his number, you got off the bed to your dirty laundry basket and pulled out your pants. Digging into its back pocket, the yellow note crumpled up and folded in an orthodox origami. Unfolding it on your way back to bed, you grab your phone and shoot him a message.

Sunday, December 1st, 2022

[You: Hey idiot, this is me. I need to ask you something really quick. -Sent: 2:24 pm]

[Sukuna: I didn't think you would text me this fast, ask away anyway. -Sent: 2:25 pm]

Sukuna didn't miss a beat when it came to you.

[You: Are you friends in that past with Majima or something? -Sent: 2:25 pm]

There was 'typing...' On the screen before it disappeared and reappeared a few times, confirming your suspicion. Sukuna does know Majima, but to what level?

[Sukuna: Not really, but why? -Sent: 2:28 pm]

[You: Then how did he even know my name if I never tell him? -Sent: 2:29 pm]

Seen.

Was that Sukuna left you off with? Besides, Majima and their two other people look shady as hell, too; you remember their appearances well, all those tattoos and dark monochrome scheme colors. You rechecked the phone to see if he would text back, but there weren't any notifications. He did leave you on read. Tossing your phone on your bed, your mother calls you from downstairs.

Sukuna felt his blood go hot and cold in mere seconds reading that last line from you.

[Cute Spitfire: Then how did he even know my name if I never tell him? -Sent: 2:29 pm]

Like he wants to toss his phone across the room, he knows that Majima wants dirt on him. But him gaining access and info about you is deemed ambiguous. One thing about Sukuna is that he dislikes disclosing his personal life to other people. The only person who knows is Uraume. Sukuna doubted that it was Uraume from the start. He wondered which mole he should wack for spilling out sensitive information about you. He doesn't tolerate carelessness and betrayal on the spot.

Combing a hand through his hair, he took a deep breath before losing his shit. Sukuna then bark out, "All ride out; tonight, we hunt for fucking rats!" There was a chorus of cheers in the taken warehouse that Sukuna had used for a temporary base. He doesn't like to linger in one place for too long; it would arouse suspicion and the wrong kind of attention. So being constantly on the move is a thing for him when he wants an adrenaline rush.

Hopping in a car, multiple engines mixture of motorcycles and heavily tuned cars revved loudly; that's it's enough to hear from miles away. Hanging an arm loosely on the outside of the car, he gave it a few hard pats to get everyone in line as he ordered the designated driver to lead.

Vehicles pile out in order like it was still some war era.

"Head straight to the backwater of Tokyo." Sukuna's deep strawberry eyes glower in the light, "I'm taking him out." Loose ends are something he doesn't let go of often, but this is personal to him. Considering all the time, Sukuna had allowed Majima to run free despite keeping track of every crime and ordeal he had struck behind his back, thinking that he didn't know. Sukuna is one of the central four Kingpin in Japan; not even the police force and government want to go against him since he is funding them with everything they need.

So if killing someone like Majima, no one would bat an eye since anybody slew across the alleyway is another body in the gutter. Easily replaceable in this world full of billions of people.

Checking your phone as if you're married to it for three days, Sukuna hasn't been answering you nor texting back ever since that day. You cuss his name out under your breath for wasting your time. Deciding to pull the internet up, you saw a news feed of 5 warehouses near the shipping port being burned down. There was a tug on you to read it, so you did.

["Today, on December 1st, there was an attack on five warehouses near the port trading cargo area. There were no people injured, but there were 23 people dead on the scene, and among those 23 casualties, they belonged to a gang called 'Kingsnake,' a minor gang that has been on the rise."]

Scrolling down the article, you see the unrecognized faces of gang members, but out of the 23 that were dead, you saw two faces that you briefly memorize. They were with Majima night. But going onto the article, there was a sentence about 'turf war' and fighting for control. It's been a while since you heard anything about gangs since they're primarily undercover. If not, they're untouchable since not even the police want to be involved with them.

Checking the time, you saw it was nearly time for you to go to college. Unplugging the charger, you grab your backpack and hurdle out of the room in a rush. Not before running back in to grab your notes to study for upcoming exams you have for the end of the month.

Running down the stairs like a madman, you bid goodbye to your family and opened the front door to expect Sukuna there, but he wasn't there. A somewhat despondent strike your heart in a sharp jab. 'Fuck, am I getting used to him?' Closing the door behind you, you rush out of the front gate and hope that the train didn't close on you and that you made it on time for college.

You glance at the papers given during classes on a lunch break. It was practice exams from your subjects and to see a low mark from one of your most minor favorite subjects is susceptible. Your friend group told you they would be at the library when you get your papers. Making a grimaced face, you pull that one specifically out of the piles you did well on. Flipping the pieces, you check to see the red comments on what went wrong or is in questioning; leaning your temple against your fingertips, a huff of stress claims you. You need to pass this semester's class before changing it. You already talked to your counselor before. If you did well on the exams, you wouldn't need to take the entire course semester, maybe doing paperwork over the winter break about the 2nd semester to get two-thirds of the grade, a B+ at best. After all, you want to do courses that align with your career path.

"That's pretty bad," a voice spoke over your shoulder. You jump up in surprise as a string of curses leaves your lips when you notice who it is. Sukuna leans over your shoulder, looking intently at the papers. You were so focused on your practice exam that you didn't see his shadow looming over you or his footsteps approaching.

Flipping the paper close, you shuffle it in between your other documents. "You didn't need to point it out," collecting the stacks, you evenly bounce them on the table to smoothen out the corners before putting them inside your backpack. "Besides, you were gone for three whole days and left me on read."

"Awe, did you miss me?" Sukuna coo, pulling you closer to him by the waist as you suddenly push him back, which he doesn't budge when a hand goes up your back to make sure you won't distance yourself away.

"Hell no!" You denied it quickly. Too quickly for him. A smirk climbs up his face; now people stop what they're doing, and you are trying to push him away; he was too close to your liking, and you felt embarrassed in the eyes of scrutiny. His legs kept brushing up against yours, and you could feel the heat spreading all over your body. "Let go of me, dammit! People are watching, especially your fangirls!"

Without warning, you shriek out more when Sukuna picks you up. Your legs were straddling his waist, and he effortlessly carried you with one arm while the other hand grabbed your bag. He slung it over his backpack. You were whining like a child who wanted to be put down. 'This is so embarrassing!' Your face could explode now, as you felt like you didn't know what to do anymore. Your hands were on his shoulders, gripping and loosening each second.

Sukuna: "Hold on tight; I don't want to drop you. Considered this a free ride that I didn't give you this morning."

You: "Anything but this!"

Sukuna: "Should I throw you over my shoulder or carry you like a blushing bride instead?"

You: "Fuck you!"

Sukuna: "Are you consenting? I would make sure that you're not gonna be walking right after I'm done, Little Spitfire."

During the walk to the library, all you could do was look at the ground and his feet. Too nervous to look at anything else, whisperers and people secretly talking to each other didn't go unnoticed by you. There was a shock when people saw you both. You could tell the fangirls would kill to be in your spot (they envisioned you dead); it's not every day that someone here carried, and you would trade it in a heartbeat.

Once in front of the large double oak door of the library, you were put down, almost losing your footing if not for Sukuna balancing you out and gripping his shirt out of pure fear of being dropped. You weren't focusing on anything else but the way your body bent halfway to the ground, with Sukuna's arm wrapping tightly around your waist and him gripping the door bar for support.

"You can-" turning around to face Sukuna and telling him that you should be okay, your noses brushes against one another at the tip. Surrounding all forgotten, all you could focus on was how close he was, and his deep strawberry eyes had flakes of gold specks around them, almost representing little stars or golden seeds. His breath hits your lips, and if it wasn't intentionally, Sukuna's eyes shift to your lips as his long lashes flutter a few times slowly. A deep bob of his Adam apple was enough to tell you what runs through his mind.

Sukuna never thought this was the closes he would get to you; he was aware of the hundreds of eyes looking at you both. But all he could focus on was you, the way how you suddenly look softer in his eyes, or how your plush lips part and the gloss you wear makes them shine like gemstones. How much he wishes to kiss them. Just a little more, and he would, but not without you consenting him to do so.

Pulling you up, he breaks the spell when you guys suddenly part away from one another to give each other space. Sukuna could tell that you were flustered, the calm persona was slipping away, but he quickly recomposed himself. Sukuna could feel his skin warmer than the cold air in the hallway like it was on fire. Heart beating like a rapid drumming line, he opens the door and allows you in first, and you zoom right past him to the table.

Throwing yourself into an empty chair, you avoided everyone else eyes, "We thought, when are you going to-" Maki paused her sentence when she saw Sukuna right behind you, feet away. Her smile widened as she gave at Nobara with that cocky expression of 'you know, and I know,' by nudging her with her elbow, "-what a lovely surprise to see you here, Sukuna." Maki drawl out with a polite, teasing tone to rile you up.

"Hi," Sukuna gave a short, curt response and settled himself next to you. He hands you your backpack, and you accept it without looking at him. Your hands were shaking when you pulled out the reviewing materials, which Megumi caught.

Megumi: "You doing okay, (Name)?"

You: "Hm? Huh? Y-Yeah."

Megumi: "You're shaking a lot-"

Maki: "She is fine, Porcupine, just her nerves being tease since love is in the air."

"Maki, you're this close to being tossed out the window." You show her a thumb and finger so close to being touched, and she laughs at your threatening attitude.

With the gang complete, Sukuna lingers on the side, watching everyone interacting, passing around each other's practice exams around in what shared class or period they have differently. Sukuna saw you invested in the practice exams and glanced at the paper from afar. You guys were discussing what the answers are or how to solve them. But seeing you trying to figure out how to solve it since no one in the group got it right or doesn't have that shared class, Sukuna can't help but tell you.

"That is wrong because..." Sukuna went off on a tangent of explaining, pointing at the paper, his forefinger running around the problem as everyone, even you included, listened intently. With him writing it down and presenting it with a thorough explanation and the correct terminologies, Sukuna explains it much better than the professor. Then the group started taking advantage of the situation by asking more of the questions that they got wrong, and Sukuna was in a good mood today and had become a teacher. Well, to your group of friends, an unofficial teacher.

"Not only he got good looks, but brains too," Panda commented, which makes Sukuna's ego sore through the roof. "Guess not all rumors are true." He continued with his praises, but for somewhat of a reason, Sukuna remains humble about it. Maybe this was a ploy to get on your friend's good side and romance you without the barrier of them protesting or convincing you otherwise.

With the hours getting late, the sky got dark quickly after five hits. Sukuna grabbed you along to follow him, as it went from your wrist to your hand when your little habit from the days before the fair play his mind. His warm hand engulfs your delicate, cold one.

"Tell me that they're dating without telling me they're dating," Nobara snickers out loudly when you were away with Sukuna at a reasonable distance, which got you are screaming back at her to 'shut up' when your ears are burning up. The group laughs out wholeheartedly. Wanting to chuck your bag at Nobara like a brick, it might be immobilized her since it got books and other heavy stuff. The you're weight isn't something to be messed with.

Sukuna paused in his steps; he felt you bump headfirst to his backside. He turned around to your friends. "Oh yeah, if you guys are cool with it during the break, I know this nice bathhouse forty miles from here! It's located in the mountains run by heated lava beds, and I'm paying for it!" Your group didn't hesitate to say yes, since it's Sukuna's offering, and it's free too! Megumi looks at everyone and sighs at his fate. You could relate too.

You were in shock when you arrived at the given location with your friends when you refused to ride with Sukuna. Sukuna told you about the bathhouse but didn't say it was the Ice Lily, which was exclusive only to VIPs. Even celebrities are dying to get into this bathhouse as they had to sign up and be put on a waitlist which could range from months to a year at most.

What you know about the bathhouse is that it was magical to people who managed to get inside. So to say this was on your bucket list as a kid before you died. Sukuna arrived promptly when he got out of the car, not his bike when he handed his key to a valet to park, and they gave him a token number for his car. He pops out his duffle bag from the truck and meets up with your group.

"What do you guys think of the place?" Sukuna asked; he knew that everyone was stunned.

"This is out of my pocket range," Panda spoke up, with Inumaki agreeing. Nobara and Maki can't wait to try everything out or what the bathhouse has to offer since beauty care and personal care are what they only think of since, in their head, it's only fair to treat themselves when they're so busy slaving themselves to the college system. Megumi only tagged along because he didn't want to hear his father nagging and his mother coddling him. His sister is the same as his mom, so Megumi figured this was the best choice before getting thrown back into his family.

Sukuna leads the group inside when a guard recognizes him and hurriedly opens the door and gives him a formal greeting. Sukuna gave a head nod as an acknowledgment without speaking and headed straight to the front desk, where a lady presented seven critical cards with your guy's names inked in cursive gold. Sukuna took one and explained that everyone was located on the same floor.

You peer at Sukuna's key card and notice that his room number is just next to yours, and you suddenly want to smack him. 'All the rights by trying to get close to me.' Lasering eyes at him, Sukuna felt like eyes were on him. He turned around, and you looked away simultaneously. The Cheshire grins return.

So you knew? Good. Spending time with you has become scarce these days with him working none stop and not being able to entertain you as much as he should, so cornering you is an idea.

"Ah, I'm beaten." Maki relaxed into the warm water after getting a full body massage and a facial; she said she was reborn. You glance at Maki, a lot more toner than you in body training since she was in a sports club. Her muscles move around whenever she flexes, and damn, what a great time to be alive since you barely see her wearing short-sleeved shirts. You had to admit that being bisexual or being born as a guy would be great.

As for Nobara, who was toned, but on the delicate side, she cares about her figure very much and would indulge in those 'keto' diets or just diets that would help her maintain her weight.

You, on the other hand, are a random mess; whether it's by luck or genetics, you didn't care about your appearances much overall. Since your family was an instead blessed one, you thought that would be the case. Whether you're thin or not, you don't care about fitting into society's standards much when there are other things to care about than the superficial stuff that constantly changes with the trends or over time.

Reaching over behind Maki's back, there was a chill bucket filled with alcohol. You pulled it out of the ice and saw a warm amber color through the glass bottle; popping the cork open, you took a whiff of the smell and made a face. There was a hint of sweet apple with the strong notion of vodka; you decided to give it a test by pouring it into a cup, enough for a shot.

"By the way, what's with you and Sukuna? You guys are so close to each other that you don't even think about Yuji anymore. Are you guys dating behind our backs, thinking we won't know?" Nobara questioned her brows, wiggling, and when you up the glass into your mouth, you suddenly spat it back out the second.

Choking and putting the glass behind you, tears wounded up in your eyes, trying to form sentences and words, it comes out with you hacking, still trying to catch your breath. Nobara only laughs at your misery. "You already asked me that before, and you're asking me again!"

"I mean, I'm not wrong." She shrugs.

Clicks!

"You guys heard that?" Maki asked in a low hush tone when you and Nobara paused your ongoing bickering.

Clicks!

Maki grabs a floating bucket in the water and hurdle it at an incredible speed where the sound comes from. And with great accuracy, a loud cry of pain was heard when a body dropped out of the tree. There was a camera in that stranger's hand.

A peeping tom has occurred!

You scream when the stranger has recovered and dashes out of the women's side of the bathhouse. You never thought this would happen to you guys, considering this was a private resort.

With Maki hot on the stranger's tail, she got a towel around her when you and Nobara emerge from the women's section chasing after the peeping tom. Nobara tossed whatever she could in her arm at the pervert but missed every time, or it's just that the pervert has excellent agility.

You were speeding up the paces, too, when Maki finally caught up and put the guy into a tackle and put him in an arm lock. She takes the camera from the guy's hand and kicks him down to lay still. She flips through the pictures and sees that the guy had taken it when you three first walked into the bathhouse to the bathing parts, meaning he saw the nudes.

With the guys coming out of their section, they wondered what was wrong until they saw a person being held down by Maki's impressive foot strength. They all went 'oh.'

Sukuna was the last to emerge, "What's with the screaming?" Then he pieces the clues together, Maki with a camera, you in nothing but a sexy towel still have water droplets all over you. You must've rushed out to catch the guy, considering you and Nobara were out of breath. "A pervert? Really?" Sukuna then called security, as if he wasn't pissed off suddenly since this was a resort that he rented out personally for you and the others. Before the guard could reach the culprit, Sukuna went over to them and whispered low in a meaningful tone, to only what they could hear. "I expected nothing but great quality from this place, but you failed to secure the area."

The security guard felt like his soul was taken out of his body and was dumped into ice; the way Sukuna's eyes glowered was enough to make him pick up the culprit hastily and notify the front desk to call the cops.

Maki destroyed the camera by smashing it into pieces on the ground and snapping the memory card in half, causing the pervert to cry out in low agony. It's like his whole life had flashes in between his eyes.

"Are you okay?" Sukuna asked once he was near you enough; the extra towel he had around his shoulders, he shrugged it off and covered you instead.

"Yes," with a brief answer, you walk back to the women's section to get changed into the new clothes before entering your room.

Sukuna knows that you're pissed off, considering the tone you use on him. It was easy to decipher how your face tried to mask that you wanted to beat up that stranger. But so much for a break, and getting you to be alone with him.
