Who I really am
WHO: Kenta and YOU [with a few closed prompts]
WHERE: the Dojo, the newly-built Ooshima Stables, and Bosuma
WHEN: All over March
WHAT: Some discovery, both personal and of the outside world
WARNINGS: Some mentions of violence and criminal activity.
I. STABLES
[As planned, Kenta has had some state-of-the-art stables built to house his new horse companion. and this has turned into a new business opportunity. There have been job ads and posters with 'help wanted' posted, and he's hiring both for admin positions and for actual stables hands and/or people who can give riding lessons.
He already has quite a a good business plan in place, with getting the stable business off the ground first and then diversifying into giving lessons. And of course, he needs to learn the actual stable work himself, since he now has his own horse.
Come for an interview, or just to help him out learn how to properly care for the majestic animal that is Iwaiichigou!]
II.DOJO [Semi-closed to Derek]
[It's time for another kendo lesson.
Kenta had a bit of free time today so he arrived at the dojo early, and he and a few of his bodyguards are practicing hand to hand. Unlike what you may have seen before, this is not martial arts. This is all out street brawling, and they’re only holding back enough to not seriously injure one another.
Kenta is wearing soft workout pants and a T-shirts. The bodyguards are wearing mostly tank tops or have just removed their tops altogether, which means there are quite a few interesting tattoos on display.]
III.OUT AND ABOUT
[Kenta may not have been able to contact his family for a long while, but Recolle still has quite a few Ooshima Clan allies that need to be entertained, cajoled, or reprimanded, depending on the situation.
And that's how Kenta ends up walking downtown with several bodyguards around him wearing dark suits, on his way to one of those luxury hotels that are the favorite meeting grounds of criminal families.
If you're used to that sort of things, it's relatively easy to see that every single person in that group, Kenta included, is carrying a concealed gun.]
IV.BOSUMA [Later in the month]
[Now that he's regained his skill with horse-riding, Kenta has taken advantage of it to make a few day trips to Bosuma. Because it's close and easy to get to, and also because from descriptions he's heard of, this is the place most likely to fit his tastes, and that is very true once he gets there. Nature, plants, animals, all of these definitely suit his sensibilities, and he finds himself going back several times over the course of a few weeks.
He will enjoy company either on the way or out there, especially like-minded individuals who enjoy quiet and nature.]
I wonder if there's anything I could bring back for Jirou...

I wonder if there's anything I could bring back for Jirou...
no subject
[He smiles at him and raises his glass to him when it arrives.]
You're going to be my husband. I'll make sure to be there for you in everything you do.
no subject
And of course they don't know my family doesn't know either.
[Which is going to be something if communications are ever restored. By that point, it might actually be too late.]
That's why I want Tanaka-san and the guys to keep an eye on you and your family.
[And it's lucky that they have lived with Kenta long enough that their loyalty is mostly to him. And Jirou is so endearing they can't help but love him, especially given everything he's done for Kenta.]
no subject
[Jirou's never been one to rebel against things like that. He takes things far too easily for that.]
Besides, I like the boys. They're cuties.
no subject
They like you too. They always have.
[Ever since a seven-year-old Jirou managed to make Kenta smile.]
no subject
You know...I just remembered something. From our other life.
no subject
Tell me.
no subject
[He smiles as he says it.]
I like it. You're my aniki.
no subject
[Although of course, he does get called that in the Clan but...]
And you're not Yakuza, so there's no reason for you to call me that.
no subject
[He finishes his refilled drink and gestures that he'd like more.]
You know, I never gave you a nickname before like everyone else because I wanted you to know how special you are as you. But I kind of like this one because it does exactly what I always wanted by calling you just Kenta. So special in my life but someone I admire and respect and love. You've always been on a different level from the rest of the world for me.
[He rests his chin on his hand.]
What do you think?
no subject
I think... I could say the same to you. And I think you can call me whatever you want, and I will love it.
[Because, this is Jirou, his Jirou. The only thing that their age difference did was put them in different years at school.]
no subject
I'm really excited that we're getting married.
no subject
Me too.
Should I do the right thing and ask your parents for your hand, too?
no subject
no subject
... You know, even back then, I was younger than you.
no subject

no subject
[He giggles but clearly doesn't mind. Hey, he's always been older than Kenta anyway so why let it bother him now.]
I like that so much of our stuff lines up.
no subject
[Jirou doesn't let it bother him, but Kenta is a bit more unsettled by it. Has been since the beginning, really.]
