Mmm. Doubt I'd ever use it for that - e-mails an' news is more'n enough.

[doggonemad]

'Sides, ya don't need ta use it fer that.

[throughbamboo]

Nope.

Ya ever use it for that stuff?

[doggonemad]

Mm-hmm.

[throughbamboo]

[he hums a little, nodding, then gives him a nudge]

Show me what else ya can do on this thing.

[doggonemad]

[ oh good, we're not going to talk about me fucking away my pain. ]

Right. Let's see . . .

[ he gets a crash course in computer shit, which Majima explains in his own Majima way.

enjoy. ]

[throughbamboo]

["mm-hmm" is a very "don't ask about it" answer, but also they don't need to talk about it.

A Majima explanation makes more sense than one from someone else tbh, he listens quietly for the most part, but he'll ask a question here or there when he doesn't understand something]

[doggonemad]

[ and after a bit: ]

Okay! You are now a computer novice, congratulations!

[throughbamboo]

[he huffs out an amused noise]

Thanks, sensei, I'll try not ta forget your lesson.

[doggonemad]

If ya do, I'll forgive ya!

[throughbamboo]

Yer too kind.

[doggonemad]

Right?! Majima-sensei is known for his brand of tough love and kindness!

[throughbamboo]

So yer that nice to all yer students? Damn, thought I was special.

[doggonemad]

Yer my favorite. Don't tell the others.

[throughbamboo]

[he grins a little]

I'll keep it a secret.

[doggonemad]

Atta boy.

[ shifts so he can put the laptop back on the coffee table.

and then, when he settles back in on the couch, he does actually scoot right up next to Saejima. ]

[throughbamboo]

[he makes a soft noise of surprise, but he immediately lifts his arm to give him more room]

[doggonemad]

[ His expression is completely neutral, like this is just what he does, what.

but his body language is tense, like he's hesitant but pressing forward anyway, and even somewhat surprised that he still fits in there like it's the 80s all over again. ]

[throughbamboo]

[. . .

When he lowers his arm, it's around Majima's shoulders, light and ready to move if it isn't welcome. A little tentative, but it's the same way he used to do it a lifetime ago]

[doggonemad]

[ he's so stiff, but he's not shaking him off. ]

[throughbamboo]

[he's not nearly as tense, but he is not as relaxed as he would like to be.

After a moment, he huffs out a little noise that's a mix of amusement and something else]

S'just like when we were kids.

[doggonemad]

Nah, I was more squirmy back then. Fuckin' head up my ass.

[throughbamboo]

[he snorts a bit]

Ya were pretty squirmy.

[doggonemad]

Didn't know what I had back then. Fuckin' dumbass.

[throughbamboo]

Whadddaya mean?
