[it would be good if this day was just like any other day, get up, work, work some more and then check by his brother's house to make sure everything was okay and then return home for a nights rest. today was that one time of the year that he hated. the anniversary of his father's death. normal families would go to the cemetery and pay their respects, have a drink or two and a dinner in honor but not when you were born to the father of one of the more powerful heads of organized crime in the city. it was bad enough that you had to be reminded by his lieutenants that you were a traitor to the family in the grand scale coming together of the men under his control but to be trailed by your own, two undercover officers easily picked watching him throughout the day. born into a family and no matter what you done, you were always persecuted by it, regardless of innocence.]

[now the rest of the night was free, taking to a local bar holding his own commemoration for him, cracking the seal on the second bottle of whiskey and pouring it into the glass that long lost its ice.] Cheers. [raises to glass up to no one but the row of bottles across the back wall, knocking down the drink no longer feeling the burn. everything was comfortably numb.]

	People always say to trust them before they do something bad to you... but you didn't say to trust in you. Not directly. [looks thoughtful, finishing the last of her drink and doing that first-time tipsy sway.] ... That really was strong. [this is almost embarrassing, acting this way...] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You have a lot of [big word umm.] smarts. You are absolutely correct not to trust someone who offers you a trip back home. [but you would be with a safe person. has a pretty badge. don't worry about bad guys that want to break him shhh. they won't harm you.] Have you drinkened anything before? Or your first time? [has to put arm around to stop the unsteady way, knowing floor will hurt in the morning.] You should sit down on something more stable. [gets off the chair and puts both arms around her waist for stability.] Maybe the fresh air will help too. You want to go outside?

[under normal circumstances would have punched any guy who approached her that way right the fuck out, but has to play this part and... sort of enjoys it. not in that she has to pretend to be a lightweight, needy girl but... feeling like someone cares. there's comfort in at least knowing more about Hashirama than he revealed, which wasn't a whole lot, and it makes it easier to relax. but still, there's an embrace happening... should it be?] Yeah, outside. [lets him lead her out, feeling embarrassed at the few eyes that look up and watch them leave. despite being able to play coy and calm, relationship sorts of things... are also new. like every girl had the fantasies about the prince charming figure, but her price charming is far from ideal. but when you're saved, you're saved. you can't start finding faults in someone you owe your life to. but can't help but wonder, if that prince charming saw her right now... would he be jealous?]

[knows as they step outside that there's someone out there, either from Madara or connected to him, watching her, making sure she's doing her job... stills, leaning back against Hashirama just slightly, as if needing the support. looks over the landscaping, wondering where they're being watched from.] ... This makes me feel young. [spoken almost wistfully, relaxing a little. was it too much to think you were worth being jealous over? maybe those thoughts were worth stopping, lest she seem ungrateful. has to remember where she stands.]

You really haven't drank much before, have you? [its refreshing for a woman of her age not to have gone a little wild and ordered a drink, a good stiff one just to try it. she was appealing to him so much right now, it was playing to everything he wanted, almost everything. blond and big breasts would have sealed the deal.] Take a few deep breaths and relax. Enjoy the feeling, it's not bad. If you drink for the sake of drinking, it will get you to but if you do it for relaxing purposes, you feel refreshed. [should be getting a taxi soon. keeps one arm hooked around her to keep her upright while the other fumbles for his phone to make the call.]

	I'm just not a drinker... [listens to his directions and follows, and if she really were buzzed it would be nice but... well, it's still kind of nice, to be embraced for so long because... he's still got his arm there.] I bet we look like quite the couple right now.

People always think that. There is nothing wrong with offering a friendly arm of help but today in society, everything takes things the wrong way. Assume you can't change, you are born like this so you should forever be branded... [thoughts wandered too far, snapping back thankfully when the other side picks up.] Taxi at [blah blah.] Okay.

	Just a rough day at work. [she is attentive. loose lips not good. not going to come out and say that he is a son of a deceased mafia boss. not good for trying to make friends or pick up... not that he is picking up.] Just saying as general, people are bound to their heritage and don't get a chance to redeem even if they shouldn't need to.

[feels like the biggest butthole for saying that. it isn't that he hates his family, loves them even his father or else he would just have ignored them and moved on with life, not looking back. but he wasn't going to fall into their values. just wishes sometimes that people wouldn't discriminate of something as trivial as that.] I'm sorry. I was inconsiderate. [rubs his head with his free hand. he still has that arm around her, doesn't he? better let go of that now.] I'm a detective for Major Crimes. [should have been higher than that by now but keeps getting knocked down on promotions. not that rising the ranks is what he wants, doesn't want to be some big head honcho but people with less ethics are rising up and it's corrupting the system.] Generic job I know. Most boy's fantasy is to grow up being a cop or fireman.
