Kosuke was given the rest of the beer and while he looked around he noticed most other guest had left already. "Are you trying to get me drunk?", he asked jokingly and then drank the beer in one go. He might not have looked it, but he was used to drinking and therefor maybe felt a bit more relaxed, but nothing more. The waitress was talking to another employee at the moment, because it wasn't busy anymore and maybe she looked over just to check if people were ready to pay. Kosuke looked at the t…

This guy didn't let it go, did he now? Kosuke smiled still, but he didn't feel comfortable letting himself be treated to so much. "We can split, it's no problem.", he told him. He wasn't poor, especially not since he rarely bought anything for himself. He had dept, yes, but that didn't mean he had to be overly stingy. He wouldn't get out of it anyway and no one came for that many as well, as long as he worked and that he did, without ever complaining or even being late. Gin was just too generous…

Gin was stumbling with words now, flattered and embarrassed and Kosuke let him talk without interrupting him, just because it was kind of funny. He sat there on his side of the table swaying his glass and wondering what Gin talked himself into right now. Only when he stopped his triage of words did Kosuke smile at him. "It's alright, I'm just teasing you.", he simply said calmly. Nothing more and nothing less. Gin truly worried too much and Kosuke wondered if he was always this excited, or if it…

Kosuke took another sip of the gin he'd gotten to avoid answering to Gins inquiries right away. He sat the glass aside and still held it. "I fear you have the wrong impression of me.", he told Gin slowly and with a somewhat foreboding voice, but he wasn't all wrong. he didn't enjoy hurting or even killing people, but he did it. In the moment he never cared much, he just did his job, like a policeman or a soldier would. Sometimes after he caught himself questioning it all, but it didn't stop him …

Kosuke smiled, honestly at that and shook his head. "You don't have to defend me from hypothetical people, really. Besides, I don't want out, it's too much of a hassle, so in my selfishness I decide to continue doing what I do. It's my choice really." That was what it boiled down to, wasn't it? Gin was sweet when he saw so much good in Kosuke, but he wasn't all good, no matter how he behaved in front of him. This time Kosuke laughed too. "I have plain T-Shirts at home as well as some jogging pan…

Kosuke didn't mean to make Gin feel bad about himself or his situation. He didn't know what to say. "You're definitely not an aggressor.", he said, which didn't include himself and he knew that wasn't the point. What use was there in complaining though? He could have worse, much worse and thus he just did his job and that was that. "I usually get a drink right after work, without changing. There is no real use in having other clothes I think.", he smiled, trying to get out of having to shop, or …

"I don't like proclaiming myself as a victim. It seems hypocritical. Maybe I could do something to at least get out, but to be honest, the pros of staying far exceed the cons. That doesn't make me a good person, nor a victim and I know as much.", Kosuke smiled calmly. Gins story was a different one, he didn't work for the Yakuza, he didn't break someones fingers or ruined their lives and he didn't facilitate their secret meetings, keeping nosy cops out of the way. He didn't hurt anyone, Kosuke d…

"It's not just the Yakuza. I know if they'd just stop everything around these parts would probably get easier, but the police and the government isn't exactly keen on doing anything either.", Kosuke suggested. He'd seen people that appeared on TV enter Yasesumei, he'd seen high ranking police man. It wasn't just a lack of resources, they were paid for letting the Yakuza do what they do and additionally they indulged in all they offered in these parts of town too. "But it's like worrying over spi…

"It's all about not getting killed.", Kosuke smiled, placing his head on his hand. "Once you're in, it's hard to get out too, but I shouldn't even be saying that." He couldn't leave, he knew as much. The Yakuza didn't necessarily appreciate people leaving and mostly suspected them of going to the police with what they knew eventually. They knew everything about their subjects, much like they all were in debt and they all were one way or the other. "Once you join, they give you a nice apartment, …

Kosuke had to laugh a bit. Cool? "No.", he grinned. He could tell Gin grew up in a vastly different environment than him. "If they offered you one they were expecting you to join their gang eventually and you don't say no when they ask you to, lest you want a knife between your ribs or your family hurt.", he explained to Gin. "The Yakuza clans are pretty organized and they value peace and coexistence, if they'd fall too much out of line, the government and police would need to act, but like this…

"If a 17 year old gang member offers you a smoke, you take it.", Kosuke smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "Not that I minded, I've always seen them smoke, so as a kid I was curious and happy about the opportunity. I'm guessing you never thought about quitting?" Kosuke didn't. Now that he thought about it, he realized he didn't think about change at all, did he now? Only when Gin asked him what he'd like to do instead of what he was doing now, or when he opened up new topics that would have neve…

Gin looked less bubbly, but he wasn't, which made Kosuke believe that he actually enjoyed his company. Hell, he invited him to dinner, so of course he did. He wasn't sure why he was so insecure, but hadn't he always been like this, only that he usually didn't talk as much anyway? "I didn't doubt you'd come right around the corner.", Kosuke smiled and once Gins cigarette was lit, he lit his own and put his lighter away again. "Huh... I guess I simply started as a kid. Everyone did it and now it t…

Kosule slowly walked down the street so Gin had time to catch up to him. There were still plenty of people around, even this late on a weekday , but that was normal fof this part of town. Kosuke lived quite a while from here, at the end of the mainstreet and down some. It was more quiet there, but he didn't mind just blending with the crowd. Walking down and up the mainstreet was mostly what he did after work, avoiding people, especially deptors that might recognize him. He didn't want to cause …

"You really don't have to think about what I want or don't want to hear. Just be yourself.", Kosuke smiled to reassure Gin a bit. He seemed so worried about pleasing Kosuke, but he didn't want to be treated as a customer. Maybe it would be better once they left this establishment and had a change of environment. The atmosphere had shifted already however. No constant giggling and smiling and Kosuke smiled about it. His outfit too was unexpected, but maybe not so much if he thought about it. He l…

The more he spoke with Gin, the more Kosuke believed that his reactions were genuine and he was glad he made him giggle abd laugh. "No not at all.", he answered him with a smile, Kosuke didn't have any plan of his own after all. Gin just sounded so confident and determined when he said both of them shouldn't just settle for what they got now. If Kosuke needed to imagine a future of his own in which he left the life of crime behind, he saw himself as nothing more than some supermarket clerk. Some…

False hope and illusions were things Kosuke didn't indulge in for the longest time. One didn't simply quit a job when working for the Yakuza, the only real way out is death. He knew roughly how his life would turn out to be since he was very young and he settled with it, but he also realized that Gin was very different in that regard. He didn't know his story, but he went to university and probably planned to do something with his education, but it turned out differently for some reason. Kosuke …

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to upset you.", Kosuke answered confused. Where did that come from? "I just meant... my job now is quite easy and I like easy. The higher up you get, the more you struggle generally. As long as you're not at the very very bottom it is fine. Sometimes I even get to drive around some important people." He liked driving, it was calming and less boring than standing watch in front of a door all day. Either way, it didn't seem like Gin enjoyed his job very much. Kosuke did…

"Promote me...? I dunno... I mean I get more watch duty jobs lately, but that's about it. At least it involves less running? I'm pretty good at standing around at this point, you know?" Kosuke smiled. He usually wasn't the one to joke a lot, but here he was doing it anyway and Gin laughed at every silly comment. It was his job though and Kosuke needed to get that into his stubborn head. "You don't have to be so careful around me." It was sweet that Gin tried to not hurt Kosukes feelings, but, ag…

"Confidence?" Kosuke almost laughed, but he didn't, he merely shook his head. "Trust me I'm just a badly paid grunt, though it's not that bad and it's fine for me. I don't think I want to be a higher up, I am where I belong I suppose." The only problem was age really. he couldn't do this job forever, at some point he'd be too old to run after debtors or fight of idiots, but that wasn't the case anytime soon. He had at least another 20 or so years before he needed to worry about that and until th…

There were cheaper places like this, that was true, but also more expensive ones. Either way, He didn't want to ask too much and Gin pretty much stopped sharing anyway. Kosuke let that topic be and was also happy Gin didn't press him because he started to mumble and stutter. "Dangerous...? I don't think so necessarily... I'm pretty low in the food chain. I mean I might die at work, but no one is after me personally, if that's what you mean. Those who have huge dept usually don't seek us out and …
