i apologize forever /goes to shower off the filth

[ahahahahah]

Ahahah! Muuuuuuuuun-san! It's been too long! Not long enough? Ahaha, IT MUST BE that you mean your heart was growing fonder with absence and you wished it to swell further, ahah! Like that old saying.

Ah? What are these lyrics you've used for the icons? Ahah, can I get that as a ringtone? Mutsuuuu! Help me set the tone on my phone, ahah!

I'm as surprised as you are! I didn't expect the series tag to already be used! Ahaha, that cherry was already popped! Don't worry, Dear_Mun! I'll be gentle, hahaha...!

You're worried about the way I act? Ah! IT MUST BE that you think you don't have enough material in that head of yours to work with! Ahahah, don't worry! I've been in your head! It's a dirty place, hahahah!

Kintokiiii! Zuraaaa! Ahah, where are you? I brought my best bottle of sake, ahah! Just bring the ladies!











Ahahaha!

Comments

[ahahahahah]

[better ethic]

[dignity]

[really?]

Ah, do you remember who I am, Zura?

[itsnotzura]

Do you remember my name, you space-scum? It's not Zura, it's Katsura!

[ahahahahah]

[just ignoring and continuing with his train of thought from before]

It must be that we've been apart for so long that you were testing me! Ahahah!

[itsnotzura]

[huffs, crossing his arms]

[but the tsun dies down considerably -- it has been a long time, and he has missed the idiot]

And whose fault is that? Leaving me with that ship of yours, how did you ever get off the space station?

[ahahahahah]

[is that retarded grin of his a little softer?]

Did you take care of it? And the other things I left behind.

[his sword]

[Gintoki]

[ahahahahah]

Ahahah! Of course you did! You must have had a good time cleaning everything out, right? Hahah!

[back to the stupidity]

[itsnotzura]

[and that brief softness is gone]

[why did you remind me of that day]

Asshole, do you know how long it took me to get it all off?

[ahahahahah]

Ah? Hahah, what are we talking about getting off?

[itsnotzura]

Your filthy mind from the gutter.

[itsnotzura]

It took three trips to the dump alone -- !

[ahahahahah]

[two of those trips were probably used tissue paper alone]

You're such a good friend, Zura! Hahaha, I knew I left things in good hands!

[ahahahahah]

You made sure to check around the bed good, ah?

[his sword...]

[itsnotzura]

[the horror]

What do you take me for, a fool? Of course.

[a pause, and then somewhat tentatively]

You're welcome to come and retrieve it -- whenever is convenient.

[ahahahahah]

[there's something in his smile again, the way his mouth stays closed yet his lips turn up at the corners--there's no laugh this time]

[there's other questions he wants to ask too, how things ended up after that between...]

[the taller man throws his arm around Zura's shoulders and walks him along seemingly in no direction at all. it's just an excuse to walk with him, and that laugh returns]

Hahah, well, you won't deny me some sake and conversation if I return, will you? Catching up and all that.

[itsnotzura]

[there's a private rush of happiness at that long arm -- it's been too long since he felt it's weight]

[and he doesn't bother to fight the small smile, not around this man, even though that if is no concrete thing to depend on (as lonesome as it is, it's better for the other to float away and accomplish his dreams)]

I suppose it is the least you owe me, for looking after your things, without so much as a single piece of compensation.

[itsnotzura]

[and the nagging, always the nagging, but it sounds far too fond]

Haa, which reminds me -- why did you leave me nothing but responsibilities, and that layabout nothing but indulgences? It's much harder to upkeep a ship and all it contains than to drink a load of sake and throw up. You're an unfair friend, Tatsuma.

[ahahahahah]

[the nagging, of course the nagging.]

[he leans into Zura's side, but it isn't because he's drunk for once, his free hand out in front of them and guiding them as if it's part of the conversation as well]

Ah? Is that how it ended up? Hahah, I'm sorry, Zura! I really should have made sure everybody got equal responsibilities!

[though he left all those responsibilities for Zura to keep his mind busy... same thing when it came to the sake for Gintoki]

[itsnotzura]

[huffs a bit and nods]

[he seems perfectly happy to follow that guiding hand]

You really should have. But where have you been? Did Mutsu-dono find you? Is --

[a careful pause]

-- everything... in... working order?

[somehow, it doesn't sound like he means the business; Mutsu hits low when she's angry (which is most of the time, admittedly)]

[ahahahahah]

[most of the color seems to drain from his face]

There was a lot of chassis damage, but the engine's still fine, hahah!

[itsnotzura]

[sympathetic sounds, and a hand goes up and back to briefly pat the other's shoulder]

I suppose that is the best one could ask for. Your screw was likely relieved.

[ahahahahah]

Let's not mention 'screw' and Mutsu in the same sentence, ah. Hahah, I think she bugged my coat. She's listening, shhh.

[sob sob]

[itsnotzura]

Haa? There are lice in space? Or something worse, to teach you a lesson about picking up strange things you don't know the hygienic state of?

Either way, you could take off the coat. As long as you are wearing something underneath.




[THIS IS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN]

[ahahahahah]

[he actually... tugs his coat aside to look and check]

I am today.

And no, hahah, she's more straightforward than that. Like a monster truck through a nitroglycerin plant, hahah...

[itsnotzura]

[c-consoling pat x 2]

[and then looks at his hand a bit panic-stricken]

[ahahahahah]

Ah? Something wrong?

Hahah, it must be that you wrote yourself a note on your hand about getting me a coming home present but forgot it. Don't worry, Zuraaaa!
