thought a little too long about what readjusting to being in each other's lives again must have been like for Majima and Saejima. coming back to one of the only people you still have left only to realize they're not the person you had to leave behind. the commadarie is there, but in a new font because you lived an entire life away from each other. how long did it take for Majima to ease up on the Mad Dog persona around Saejima, to register that he was still safe and wouldn't be taken away from him again?

only for Saejima to go back to jail and set them back to square one, adding another name to the list of people that Majima is patiently waiting for. another hand holding the leash that grounds him because they're all he really cares about at this point, Tojo be damned. how long did it take for Saejima to learn how to navigate the minefield that is the Mad Dog? how many times did Majima metaphorically bare his teeth and fight against someone seeing under the mask? it would be safe to let him in, it's just his Taiga, but for almost 30 years raising his hackles is what he's known best.

and how many times did Saejima push through regardless, because despite the showmanship and the decades lost, that's still his kyoudai.

#you know that post about bringing the wife back from the dead but shes not the same? #that but Majima's near death experience in the Hole/Saejima's decades lost being institutionalised #both were forever marked by their situations while their idea of each other remained frozen in the 1980s. #the constant they assumed they could come back to no longer exists and something new has to be built out of the rubble #a stranger wearing the face of a loved one. interactions that should be second nature suddenly foreign. #is this a word salad or does this infact make sense? your guess is as good as mine lmao #currently so eepy. allergies knocking my ass out got me feelin like Majima when he thought he was goin zombie #need to rest my head gently on Saejima's tummy so i can get that cartoon snork mimimi honk shoo honk shoo sleep goin on #majima goro #saejima taiga #bulletin board #saemaji
