#int: dead or lie | fuyuhiko kuzuryuu

Botan hums a bit in thought. "Sort of... he was more involved with an organization independent of a single yakuza family, though he was raised to be a hit man for a criminal organization... Though, he managed to get away for the most part." He shrugs. It was common knowledge where he lived, something that ostracized him from neighbors as a kid, though it was nothing he was particularly ashamed of. "I appreciate you being willing to share knowledge with me, though. Having it first-hand is different than my speculations on the matter."

He raises an eye brow. “Your father? Was he apart of something like this or somethin? Whatever..well as someone with plenty of info..I guess I wouldn’t mind telling you a few things..”

"Young master... I must ask a small favor of you, if you have the time..."

She was staring intently at a perfectly tiny and adorable kitten across the street. She... really wanted to pet it quite a bit, but if she got to close it would run away. If someone like Fuyuhiko were to pick it up, though...

Starter for @dead-or-lie | Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu

It had been sometime since Amai had gotten into contact with Fuyuhiko, but after finding out that they missed his birthday.. they had to fix that right away. Putting something together right away, they make their way to where they heard that Fuyuhiko lives and knock on the door.

"Fuyu-kun, Fuuuuyu-kun ~♪ It's Amai, sorry for the late gift, buuuut Amai got you something for your special day!"

@dead-or-lie starter for Fuyuhiko!

With Christmas coming up, it was only natural that Amai was rather busy with orders, however, they had taken sometime to prepare something special for their new boyfriend! It wasn't much, but they were rather proud of the tin of karinto that they had prepared for him.

As they finished up the orders, they pack up the tin and start to call the other. "Fuyu-kun! It's Amai! Are you free to hang out today?"

@dead-or-lie continued here for editor

"Botan Kujou, another student at Hope's Peak."

He could understand the need to be cautious. There were all sorts of people that would kill to... well, kill the young yakuza boss, himself included if he didn't already know the family that were the cause of some.... less than great events in his past.

[despairs-memorial]

It was pretty weird to most people, though it was just how they felt. It was just.... impossible for them to hurt anything without it being a matter of life and death, and maybe not even then. "I-I know... sorry..."

They couldn't help how awkward they felt knowing that he thought it was weird, though they were still happy that he seemed to be enjoying working out with them.

He raises an eyebrow at the idea of even thinking about something like that. It was..pretty weird to him, but whatever. It would just have to be something he didn’t understand. “That’s..pretty fucking weird, though I guess that makes sense for someone who thinks about this like you.”

Thankfully, he was decent at this even if he wasn’t a good teacher really. He was still trying to give pointers, though it wasn’t all bad. Plus..he was enjoying time with the other..

[hopes-memorial]

"Aww, thank you, you're more of a gentleman that I would have thought," she says as she walks in. He was pretty right to not trust her. While she wasn't going to physically hurt anyone being that she was about as strong as Amai was, she was someone that wasn't trust worthy, especially in Amai's eyes.

She goes to go sit down somewhere, really just wanting to talk to him. What she said, though, was left in the air.

"So, tell me a little about yourself... Fuyuhiko, right? Amai hasn't said a single word about you, so I can't help be a little curious."

With how often they were together, it seemed like Fuyuhiko was either around them or Peko..he really was practically never alone. Aside from now as he waits for Amai to finish whatever work they got before hearing the door going to check it out. All he has to do is look up at this sudden stranger and he knew who it could be.

“Eh? D-did you just fucking say little..?” Not a thing he wanted to hear..but seeing as this looked similar to his other..he tries to relax. “..be family soon..? I gotcha..your Amais mother..”

That smile..was unnerving him and he automatically didn’t trust her. He wondered if it was even a good idea to let her in..but he does. He just has to be careful..

[hopes-memorial]

He shrugs. "I've had time to think about organizations like this due to my father's past. Though, admittedly, I haven't had much time to actually talk with someone on this that would have concrete information."

He nods. “A lot different. Some people think their top shit and they know what to do..then that situation happens and they are helpless. I at least try to do my best. Heh..you know a decent amount about this, you’re right.”

[hopes-memorial]

He hums. "Indeed, though knowing the risks is different than experiencing them. Taking note of that shows your compassion as a leader... a good trait to have even in the criminal underworld, hm... or so I would believe."

He nods. “Yeah..I at least try to enjoy myself before some random bullshit happens that requires more attention. Yeah..just knowing I’m responsible for peoples lives like that can be stressful even if they all know the risks of being involved with the yakuza.”

[hopes-memorial]

He chuckles as well. "Indeed, it's important to enjoy yourself, especially with one like you lead. It must be quite stressful, after all. There are a lot of lives that would count on you for leadership."

“Heh yeah. Perhaps it caused some danger a lot of the time, but it’s manageable. Should find at least some enjoyable parts of life if you get me.” He chuckles a bit. It was pretty nice being able to get along with the other like this.

[hopes-memorial]

"I can only imagine. Though I suppose that is a trait that has served you quite well, at least in terms of enjoying yourself." It was easy for him to relax around those he could have a conversation. Danger didn't particularly scare him, given his own penchant for violence, but he was glad that the two of them seemed to be able to get along well for this request.

He chuckles as well. “Eh well I’ve always been pretty reckless ya know. Course that appeals to me.” He felt it pretty freaking as he did often have to deal with people being wary of him which..he couldn’t fault them for. But he really didn’t see a need to target innocent people.

[hopes-memorial]

He chuckles. "Most would consider that reckless, however I am glad that it appeals to you." Funny as it was, he really wasn't scared of Fuyuhiko and the power that his family wielded. It was nothing new for him, after all, and if it was just him, he didn't consider it that big of a deal.

“Yeah you’re right. Guess I’m used to it because people are always afraid of getting in a yakuzas bad side. Though glad to see your different. Allows me to understand you better as you say.” He chuckles respecting the other a lot so far.

[hopes-memorial]

"There is no need to thank me for that. It would be pointless to merely suck up to you in our temporary arrangement. Rather, it is better for us both in the long run to get a true understanding of one another's character." Though, he is smiling back at him as he says it. Likewise, he started to respect the other quite a bit as well despite the criminal connection. It certainly helped that they seemed to have some sort of morals that were similar.

“Yeah..it’s good to see that you aren’t just trying to flatter me either. I can tell your being up front so..thanks.” He smiles a little bit..it was pretty nice and it made him respect the other for that.

[hopes-memorial]

"Of course, I am glad that I was able to reassure you in some way or another." Given that he was speaking from experience rather than in just hypotheticals, it really did make this little favor much easier for him knowing that he wasn't that type of person.

He chuckles with a slight smile. “Well I guess I can see your point..thanks then. I won’t lie, that actually makes me feel pretty damn good about myself knowing I ain’t like those bastards.”

[hopes-memorial]

He smiles a bit. "And with that, you are a rather respectable person both in and out of the criminal underworld. There are many in your position that would not think twice on such matters."

He sighs before nodding as well. “Yeah there is. It’s pretty fucking depressing, huh? Though course I would think about all of this..but yeah I suppose it can be enough at times..”

[hopes-memorial]

He hums and nods in agreement. "Indeed, there is quite a bit of cruelty in the world. Though, thinking twice or even feeling guilt for such actions... for a criminal, suppose that is enough."

“Hm yeah after all the people I’ve encountered..yeah i suppose your right.” He chuckles a little bit..he immediately pauses at the sudden comparison before nodding. “Yeah I can see some violent people doing that..”
