Yes, Oowada Mondo-kun. You know him, Oji-san?

Ah, so yer the one he was talkin' about.

Yea, I know him. Initiated him unceremoniously into my family, so ya can consider me his dad.

Goro Majima. How do you do?

Eh? Me? Oowada-kun was talking about me? [cue confused headtilt]

Initiated him?

Oh! It's nice to meet you, Majima-san! [and he bows politely] I'm Chihiro Fujisaki. [yay for gender neutral 1st names]

Gonna have to ask him more about it. I don't normally talk too much what others talk to me about. [ Shrugs. ]

Yea. He's part of my family.

Pleasure to meet ya, Chihiro.

Oh, okay. ... it's not a secret though, is it? Because if it's something Oowada-kun doesn't want to tell me, I don't want to force him to...

So you adopted him just like that?

[and he blushes a bit as it's been a while since anyone's called him 'Chihiro' directly]

Haw? Don't think so.

More or less. I liked his spirit. [ Plus, was a bit moved by the kid's story. Biker gang and no chance to join the yakuza of his world, which seems like the natural progression. ]

Ya okay there?

I'll ask him then.

His spirit?

Ah, mn! I'm okay! It's just that no one apart from my parents call me Chihiro so I was a little surprised.

Sounds good.

Yea, it is one that's worthy to be part of my family.

Hm, well, it's a cute name.. so that's surprisin'.

Oh, what's your family like?

People tend to shorten it to... "Chi-chan" or "Chi-tan"... [which he actually doesn't really like much... he wants something that sounds tougher, manlier!]

Typical yakuza bunch.

Want me to shorten it like that, then?

I se- Eh? Ya-yakuza? Majima-san, you are...

[shakes head frantically] No, please don't. I don't really like being calling that... but I don't really know how to tell people not to...

Yea? I am.

Anyway, just tell 'em not to call ya it. If they respect ya, they'll knock it off. If not, well, just tell my kid or me, all right?

I-I see... [God, you're scary... but well, since you are Mondo's father that must mean you aren't a bad person. And anyway, the Yakuza are supposed to be very tough and manly. The toughest and manliest! Ah, if only he could be like you and Mondo one day... Mn! That would be his new target then! To be a member of the Yakuza! That way no one would bully or make fun of him anymore, right? Right?] So, Oowada-kun is a Yakuza now too?

Ah! That's okay, Majima-san! Everyone here's been very nice to me. It's alright. I know they mean well and it's not really that bad... [Compared to what the bullies back home used to call him. Things so terrible that he had to take up crossdressing to protect himself. And anyway, he doesn't want anyone to get hurt. Most certainly not for his sake.]

That's right. Haven't been able to do much trainin', but what I do for money and the like... can't teach that here... wait, wait, wait! I can do that shit here. [ He claps his hands together, wondering why he didn't think of it sooner. Right, yup. Majima Construction. Knew enough to be able to build, teaches good disciple, too. Right. Time to get a hold of his kid and see if he's up to some reconstruction. ]

Don't be like that. Ya don't like somethin', ya don't like something. Nice or not. Good intentions or otherwise, gotta stick up for yerself, too.

Do what?

But... [well, he knows you're right... he's silent for moment... he supposes this is a part of being stronger, isn't it? To-to stand up for yourself. Could he do it... Could he? He... Yes! He can! He can do this! He can feel the confidence welling up inside him.] Mn! I'll do that! I'll tell them that I don't like it!

Maybe help to fix this buildin' up.

Good. Don't take no shit from 'em, accidental or otherwise.

You know how to do that, Majima-san?

Mn!

'Course. I used to own my own construction company.

And, anyway, sorry... I don't normally swear around... I try to keep it lighter, anyway.

Oooh! I see! I'm sure Oowada-kun will be able to help you then! He wants to be a carpenter, you see. He helped me build a hutch for ~~our~~ my pet rabbit.

Ah, that's alright.

He does? Really...? I guess I really did choose right.

A pet rabbit, eh? That suits ya.

Mnhm! That's what he wants to do when we graduate!

It does?

Well, if he were in my world, he'd get to do just that and be part of the yakuza. Looks like all his dreams will have come true.

Right, cute things for cute girls.

That's great! I'm sure he'd really like that! I wonder if it's possible to go to other worlds if we leave here...

Oh... uh... well... ["But I'm not a girl!"] I... [smiles instead] Mn! I guess so. Though Oowada-kun like it a lot too. Oowada-kun likes small animals a lot and is a really gentle person. Just that not many people know that.

Edited 2012-08-26 15:38 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind bringin' him along, but not sure if he'd be okay with leavin' ya behind.

He's into that, huh? Ah, well... I know a guy who is into weirder sh--things. [ His odd stuttering otaku fat-ass friend. He shrugs his shoulders. ]

Eh? Why wouldn't he be okay with that?

But liking animals is not weird! There are lots of people who like small animals and keep pets! [And they actually have a classmate like that...]
