. . .

Tch.

[throughbamboo]

Ya deserve stuff like this.

[doggonemad]

'Course ya think so.

[throughbamboo]

An' I ain't wrong.

[before he can continue, the doorbell goes off. He pushes to his feet]

Faster'n I thought. Give me a few minutes, bro.

[doggonemad]

[ he nods a little, turning so he can watch Saejima. ]

[throughbamboo]

[he hasn't had the chance to check in with his guys in person, so he's met with an enthusiastic "Welcome back, boss!".

It's a quick exchange; Saejima thanks him and accepts the Poppo's bag he holds out, and at the slightly confused "Is this the stuff you asked for?", Saejima nods and pats him on the shoulder, assuring him it is.

The guy bows - once to Saejima, then again when he sees Majima on the couch. And then off he goes, Saejima shutting the door and heading right into the kitchen with the bag]

[doggonemad]

[ tips his head to the side, curious. ]

What'd he bring?

[throughbamboo]

[he digs something out of the bag and holds it up.

It . . . is one of the cheapest instant ramen that Poppo's sells]

[doggonemad]

. . .

Bro.

[throughbamboo]

Yeah?

[doggonemad]

What the shit?

[throughbamboo]

[tossing one over to him]

That's the one ya used ta eat all the time, right?

[doggonemad]

Yeah, when I had jack shit.

[ tosses it back. ]

[throughbamboo]

Remember gettin' 'em and goin' up to the roof of Yoshida to eat 'em?

[doggonemad]

'Course I do.

[throughbamboo]

Good times, right?

[doggonemad]

We were poor as shit an' hungry all the time.

[ so.

yeah. ]

[throughbamboo]

Yer lookin' at it the wrong way.

Ya hungry?

[doggonemad]

. . . lil' bit.

[throughbamboo]

[he hums a bit, nodding and turning to make up some ramen]

[doggonemad]

[ slumps back against the couch, just watching him. ]

[throughbamboo]

[thank god for hot water dispensers, so it doesn't take long.

He's making them both some, and soon enough he's carrying it over, holding out one of them to Majima]

[doggonemad]

[ takes it. ]

. . . thanks.

[throughbamboo]

[he sits down, turning more so he can face his bro rather than the TV]

When's the last time ya ate this stuff?

[doggonemad]

Not since '85.
