    Summary

    Most people meet their parents in standard, almost traditional ways. They’re born to them and meet them before their memory even develops, they’re adopted or fostered by them through an agency, or they meet one half of them as a process of them becoming a parent, like when Hiro-kun’s dad started dating the woman he’d later call mom in fourth grade.

    Haruka isn’t like any of the other kids she knows, though. She meets her parents in terrifying, messed up situations, when they’re just strangers struggling to stay alive, before they have any idea that they’ll one day be a family. Sometimes Haruka still sees those moments as set dressing for her nightmares like backdrops in a theater. Her mom she especially sees in her nightmares and dreams, since she can’t see her anywhere else except when they visit her grave.

    Still, though, she wouldn’t change anything about it. She meets her dad, Kiryu Kazuma, in that blood soaked bar and he’s quiet but kind from the get go.

    Her father, however… Well, meeting him might be the most unconventional meeting of any parent-figure on the planet.

    Summary

    On one hand, Kiryu was a fucking sight. Okinawa agreed with him and he looked tan and thick and happy.

    On the other hand, he was wearing a floral print shirt and khakis.

    These two thoughts warred for dominance in Majima as Kiryu stopped at the edge of the porch and squinted at him.

    Kiryu said, “I’ve never seen you wearing a shirt.”

    Summary

    Kiryu always told himself that he knew people best by being able to fight them, so meeting Majima for the first time was like meeting someone who spoke his language. If Majima wanted to "know" him by fighting him, then so be it.

    One thing he didn't expect, though, was to find out something else about himself in the process.

    And that something is he that he likes pain, a lot.

    Summary

    Asking Kiryu on a date is supposed to be a joke. It’s just another in Majima’s long list of contrived reasons for Kiryu to get mad enough at him to fight him.

    So he’s thrown for a loop when Kiryu doesn’t answer him by punching him in face, but by accepting.

    Obviously Kiryu’s playing along, just like he did with the bartender scheme, and with Goromi, and everything else. Majima can work with that. There’s no way he’ll crack before Kiryu does.

    Or: Majima commits to the bit so hard he ends up in a long-term relationship.
