[... thunks head against Oni's shoulder]

Yeah.

[ another little squeeze ]

... I know -- ya fucked up, and I know ya must feel like absolute shit about it. And I ain't sayin' it's wrong to feel that way.

But I know you, and I know you'd never, ever wanna do somethin' like that to a person if you could avoid it.

[well, fuck him. he's definitely going to end up crying at some point.]

... it was Taisho and AlcheME.

[the worst. the absolute worst.]

[ softly, voice rougher; ]

Pheonix told me.

[... oh yeah.

welp.

time to just be.

extremely sad.

and angry.

in fact, Very Angry. at self, at Mukuro...]

[ how about

a hug ]

[... sad things: not being able to remember when you last got a hug.

but sure does have him have him finally quietly crying, gj, Oni]

[ at least hugs are here now! honestly the position is a bit awkwardly for it as he's having to tilt his body to the side to hug him on the couch like this but he's not letting up, either, rubbing his back when he notices Boss actually start crying. ]

[it's stupid and embarrassing and he only makes it a little easier by leaning in more against Oni, if only to keep from letting on that there are tears.

lifts a hand up to rub at his eyes in a bid to stop this nonsense because he's got too many things to try to fix--damage control at an all time high.]

--gotta... make the rounds. To the other teams.

[probably gonna just get a assaulted a bunch but y'know.]

[ he's letting up some just enough to give Boss some room for that, not wanting to smother him, but. ]

I getcha. Do ya want someone to come with ya -- or do you have it handled?

[ "handled", but he also doesn't want to intrude if Boss feels like he has to do this ]

[shakes his head, looking pretty well exhausted now.]

It'll send the wrong idea... and it shouldn't be right away, anyway.

[ nods ]

... Do ya need anythin' in the meantime? A bit of sake? A fight? A nap?

... I'll try sake.

[too tired for fight and too wired for sleep.]

I got some in my room. Ya wanna come with or stay here?

I'll go.

[just fuck it. done with things.

... moves out of the hug and onto his feet]

[ nods, moving up too and heading for his room - - leaving the door open so Boss can follow, while he goes and grabs a sake bottle resting on a cinder block. ]

[beelining to sit on the bed, drawing his legs up and generally just kind of. staring into middle distance with occasional glancing over to Oni.]

[ he pours two cups and steps closer to the bed, offering one. ]

Here ya go. Ya might be a bit young for it but I figure these are special circumstances.

[taking it and... congrats, Oni. you managed to get a laugh from Boss.

it's a cynical huff of one but also.]

Assuming I wasn't already delinquent enough to have been drinking anyway, before.

[drinking some and. making. a face.

definitely not used to it. but whatever.]

From the look on yer face I'm guessin' you weren't a drinker.

[ takes a seat on a block across fro him and taking a drink himself. ]

Guess not.

[still gonna drink, tho because the burning feels appropriate for the situation.]

... I don't know what I'm going to do.

I dunno what you can do right now. They're probably gonna be sore for a bit.

But ya probably feel like ya gotta do somethin'.

... with the whole group thing... I'll probably have to let Hiryuu take the reins.

And then Maki and A...

[just. it's such a mess. why is he sober.

DRINKING THE REST OF THIS CUP]

Did ya talk with both of 'em, or just Maki?

... a little.

I think A has an understanding of how it went, but...

[his unit was the one hit.]
