[he's so proud of his bath, it's cute]

Maybe I'll try it out, see if it lives up to what yer sayin'.

[doggonemad]

I ain't wrong. Yer gonna love it.

[ the doorbell rings.

majima does not move. ]

[throughbamboo]

Yer so happy 'bout it, so it must be good.

[he glances towards the door.

Then back to Majima, eyebrow raised]

[doggonemad]

. . .

[ raises his voice: ]

Minami! What'd I give ya a fuckin' key for, eh?!

[ the door rattles, and then Minami shuffles in. he looks a little tired and sheepish, like it's nearing the end of his night ("night"), bringing in a few bags and setting them down on the counter. ]

Hell yeah. Record timing. Tell Saejima that my bath fuckin' rules.

[ Minami stares owlishly at him for a moment, then pumps a fist. "Yeah, like — Boss Majima was all, I want the best fuckin' bath experience on the planet!! So Nishida found the best contractor and Boss got him to make, like, a super bath. It's so goddamn cool, Saejima-san, it's gonna blow your nuts off!" ]

. . . Don't say it like that.

[ "— uh, you get what I mean!! A-anyway, later Boss, Saejima-san!!"

and off Minami goes. hopefully to not blow his own nuts off. ]

[Saejima nods in greeting to Minami, giving him a gruff "thanks" before him and Majima start talking about the bath.

The corner of his mouth twitches, but he keeps a straight face at the exchange. He even gives a serious, considering nod at the explanation, like the endorsement is just as serious.

Aaaaand there he goes]

. . .

So it'll blow my nuts off, eh?

[doggonemad]

Nishida has until after New Years off, so this is the sorta shit you can expect until then.

[throughbamboo]

I don't mind him, he's just enthusiastic.

He kinda reminds me of someone a lil'.

[doggonemad]

He tries ta be like me an' misses the mark juuuuust a tad.

[throughbamboo]

[he grins, patting his leg again]

Yer one of a kind, that's why.

[doggonemad]

I'm unique an' charmin' an' fuck me, I shoulda made him bring the food over here.

[throughbamboo]

[he snorts, but he lifts Majima's legs, slipping out and setting them down once he's standing]

Ya were too focused on the bath. I got it.

[doggonemad]

[ nooooo my foot rest. ]

I coulda gotten it . . .

[throughbamboo]

Too late.

[he brings the bags over, but he does lean over to pick his legs up again to take his seat again]

What'd ya get?

[doggonemad]

Got some breakfast shit from Cafe Alps. Told him ta go nuts.

[ so Minami just . . . ordered literally anything breakfast-y on their menu.

at least he also got them some blended coffee. ]

[throughbamboo]

[he did complete the assignment. He snorts softly, setting the bags down]

He went nuts all right.

[doggonemad]

Whatever. We're supposed ta lay low at least for the next few days, so we deserve some spoilin'.

[throughbamboo]

It wasn't a complaint, I won't say no ta this kinda spoilin'.

[doggonemad]

Good.

[ leans over to grab a bag and takes out a pastry. ]

— oh shit, this one has cheese in it. Remind me to give Minami a raise.

[throughbamboo]

I'll remind ya.

[he digs something out of the other bag]

Ain't had somethin' like this in a long time.

[doggonemad]

Heh. That's the whole point!

[throughbamboo]

[he wants to tell him it isn't necessary, that he'd be fine with rice and bread, but -

Nah. He gives Majima's leg a little squeeze instead as he starts to eat]

[doggonemad]

[ he smiles brightly at him at that, almost like he's a dumb teenager again instead of an idiot 40-something, then goes back to munching on his pastry. ]

[throughbamboo]

[he's just a dumb old man now, no less endearing than when they were kids]

[doggonemad]

. . . so. How's yer fancy pastry breakfast, bro?

[throughbamboo]

Fancy.

[he smiles a bit] 'S really good.
