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.

[doggonemad]

Good.

[ leans over to give him a playful shove. ]

Only the best for my bro's first meal as a free man.

[throughbamboo]

[he rocks with it, squeezing his leg again]

First breakfast, anyway. Unless ya ain't countin' last night.

[doggonemad]

Last night don't count. Lawyers were still lawyerin'.

[throughbamboo]

Ain't they still lawyerin'?

[doggonemad]

Officially, yeah.

Unofficially, it's pretty much a done deal.

[throughbamboo]

[he nods slowly, taking that in. Like it's starting to register that no actually, he won't have to go back]

. . . ya really got 'em workin' hard.

[doggonemad]

With what I pay 'em? S'the least they can do.

[throughbamboo]

[another slow nod as he finishes off the pastry in his hand]

Not a bad first meal at all, then. Seein' as it might actually be the first.

[doggonemad]

Yeah? We're just gettin' started. Yer gonna have whatever the fuck ya want from now on.

[throughbamboo]

What if I already have it?

[doggonemad]

[ oh.

stops in his tracks, like, what do you even say to that. ]

— well. Well, ya can still have more.

[throughbamboo]

[catching him off-guard is cute, he'll think about how it's also sad another time]

Don't need more. I told ya I figured it out, bro.

[doggonemad]

Fuck you, I'm givin' you the world.

[throughbamboo]

[okay but, when Majima says stuff like that -

He huffs a bit, warmly squeezing his leg. There's fondness underneath the grumble]

Yer so damn stubborn.

[doggonemad]

Damn right I am! This shit's important!

[throughbamboo]

So that yer givin' yerself the world, too, right? Seein' as what's mine is yours.
