[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.]

	... Born like this? [that's a bit... out of place. patiently waits while he's on the phone, not moving to push him away or anything.] Did your sudden slip there have anything to do with why you were at a bar tonight, drinking alone? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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.

	... Even so, a heritage should be treasured, right? I don't even know where I was born. My parent's names. [wants to say you should be grateful, but... probably already said too much.] Not that I'm looking for sympathy. Just sharing something about me. Where do you work? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[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.

	Homicide and narcotics are my specialty. [feels proud of that.] We are just like normal people but you can at least say that you have now.

	Are you going to brag about me? Most people can't even pronounce my occupation. [... can totally sense another set of eyes watching them, but will act clueless to it. can't Madara just back off for five minutes. is doing what he wants, doesn't need to be babysat.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You have a brother? [now for that little sneak closer, the rubbing arms to stay warm. brr, how dare you leave a woman standing here without a jacket. you really are out of shape in picking up.] Say you met a flower. A rare one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[manly instincts pick up on woman coming closer, arm around her again rubbing down her shoulder.] One with exceptional beauty.

[reaches into purse, pulling out a sheet of paper from a pack and writing her number onto it, quickly folding it into a simple flower, tucking it into Hashirama's hand.] ... [was supposed to be going home with him, according to the plan, but the moment doesn't feel right, to do that, but... just give a big yawn, try that seduction thing again, some lip bite action... just be a man. needs to bug your house, damn it.]

	I've never invited a stranger home either so this would be a first for me as well. I have a coffee machine so I can at least try and make you a good tasting mocha.

It's about fifteen minutes away. [is she making moves? is this a sign that she wants to be touched? does she want him to keep her awake? alcohol is meant to boost up confidence so will take the step and just worry about the bitch slap later.] There is always ways to keep you awake... [slips arm around waist and strokes side, turning his head breathing in the floral scent. sweet but not sickly, just the right amount. this girl was too perfect to be true.]

[tries not to tense at the touch, and is good at outwardly appearing more calm than she feels inside, so leans against him a little more, feeling that mix of anticipation, anxiety, and above all else the nagging reminder that this isn't a real date, this isn't a romantic comedy, and this isn't something she's allowed to get caught up in. Hashirama is a target. Madara wants to... kill this man. who has a brother. and sits alone at a bar and drinks by himself. this very lonely, very sad man. what could he possibly do to Madara, who has money, power, men at his disposal... why would the man she trusts most follow a man like that.]

[shifts a little, putting her hand over the one at her side, rubbing her thumb over his fingers. doesn't want to hurt him.]

[be a man. a man would shove his tongue down this poor woman's throat so be a gentleman and gently kiss her on top of her head.] Thank you for tonight, for the company. I have really enjoyed it and look forward to something a bit more sober. [another soft kiss down to her cheek, coming close to her lips but police training tells you what is good and what is bad and waiting for permission is good. doesn't want to scare her off. it's bad enough that there is still the indent in his hand where his ring is, taking a lot of courage to accept that it was over so wasn't prepared to take the wedding band off.]
