A little cream will do, thank you. [Though there's a little amusement in his tone as he watches Majima work.] Am I truly such a gracious host if another host is serving me while attending as my guest?
You raise a good point. [He turns in his seat and takes the cup with care, bowing his head just a bit.] Thank you. Please have a seat.
[There's a chair near the piano at least, and equally near the coffee. Beauty may have strategically arranged things upon knowing Majima was dropping by. He places the coffee on the piano for just a moment though before he thinks for a brief moment, hand coming up to push his hood back and carefully remove his mask. Setting it down, he picks up the cup again.]
How are things? I'll admit, I didn't expect you back quite so soon. [He takes a sip as if this is 100% normal and like he didn't just remove everything shielding himself from Majima.]
[ and, just like that, any air of refinement surrounding majima dissipates as he settles into the chair, legs spread as he hunches forward. y'know, like a thug. which he is. ]
[Majima...Beauty looks over the rim of his cup, eyeing him curiously even though it looks like he's trying not to grin? God.]
I see...it's because you've been stunned by my beauty and couldn't stay away until you saw me again. [Well.] You wouldn't be the first. [He's. About 50% joking.]
[ you know how they say "if you keep your face like that for any longer, it'll get stuck that way"? majima doesn't seem to care. he is perfectly fine with this expression being etched onto his one-eyed mug for the rest of his damn life. ]
[ SO WHAT IF HE IS OBJECTIVELY PRETTY, HE KNOWS TAMAKI IS ONLY 17 AND HE AIN'T A CRADLE ROBBER LIKE SOME! PEOPLE!
ethics aside, he just sighs and leans back in his chair. ]
For one, I just wanted to follow up on what we talked about yesterday... I figure if we're really gonna be workin' together, I should at least be on a decent personal level with ya. [ he takes a sip of his own coffee. ] Got a full name I can call ya, T-kun?
[ since. senri let that much slip the last time. ]
I suppose I can agree to that. The mask will stay off so long as we're continuing to work together and get to know one another. It seems the rules have been adjusted for you and I now.
[But. There's a smile.] Tamaki. It's a pleasure to meet you. [He won't give a last name since he's not sure Majima asked, but also thank god he's not like Mizuki who asked for his actual full name.]
All right, not even takin' into account the rampant murder that's been happenin' for the last five weeks, or even the stuff I gotta take care of back home... I don't have a snowball's chance in hell with them as soon as the game is over. As in, literally—even if I somehow beat every single odd out there an' live 'til I'm 100, I'll still be dead before they're even born.
[...math...?? Wow is he really that far separated from Mizuki-san?
...MIZUKI-SAAAAAAN.]
I've been thinking about this myself, truthfully. So many of you are from different times and places...it seems almost cruel to let you keep your memories with no way of seeing one another ever again. But I suppose you have to ask yourself, are those the only factors stopping you from entertaining the thought?
I--I hesitate to say yes because I cannot guarantee anything, but I believe the winner of this competition may be able to arrange such a thing thanks to the new world. But it's only a guess.
[ it's a tough situation either way. is he willing to leave his life behind for a chance to be with them? would he be able to forget about makoto, forget about saejima, forget about his staff and his regulars and—
he closes his eye. ]
I don't have an answer for ya, but I know this ain't just a silly crush that'll go away, either.

Hey, you're lettin' me do what makes me feel comfortable, so I'd say you're doin' a pretty good job.
[ as soon as the coffee is a shade lighter than it started, he takes a saucer and sets the cup on it, then presents it to beauty with respect. ]
Enjoy.

[But that suddenly doesn't matter because ?????? Tamaki just. Pauses. And stares over the rim of his cup. And there's a slow, knowing grin.]
Ah...I understand. They are very charming aren't they? [Tamaki...loves...Mizuki. Mizuki is the best, text it.] Is that such a bad thing?
