I'm not good with fancy titles, so you get this.

[ Finally the day was over. There was nothing about this new job Bandou liked. The hours were shit, the pay was even more shit, and, worst of all, he was forced to wear this uncomfortable uniform all day. If it wasn't for his desperate need of money, he would have quit already.

But even now, as he slumped down into a seat on the subway, he couldn't get himself to put his hat or shades back on. All he wanted to do was barge in on Shouhei, take a shower without asking first, and hope the guy had some beer in the fridge for afterwards.

Yeah...that would make the day better. Bandou grinned stupidly to himself as he cradled his hat in his hands. Maybe the rest of the day would be okay, now that he was off work. ]

[ He clicks his tongue. ]

Surprised I didn't burn him.

[redstray]

Would you have wanted to burn your brother?

[chickshades]

No, but...

He pisses me off so much, he's lucky it didn't just happen.

[redstray]

Probably for the best then you didn't.

[ He tilts his head as they continue walking. ]

Do families normally fight like that?

[chickshades]

[ Bandou hisses slightly, shoving his hands in his pockets. ]

No! Shouhei always got along great with his parents!

[ Getting petty over Shouhei, instead of his brothers, is somewhat comforting. ]

[redstray]

[ Well he didn't need to know that but it was sort of a frame of reference. ]

Misplaced concern with stubborness, perhaps...

[ He wasn't trying to justify his actions, but it was strange to see family by blood acting like that.

Ah well, he shakes his head. Wasn't his place to guess or poke his head into Bandou's business. ]

You smell like food by the way.
