[ A pause. ]

You... what? Why?

[ Majima had never been comfortable with the idea of eating people from the start -- for himself, it had been such a visceral fuck no that he'd seriously considered going on bended knee to the Fog God for the promise that he wouldn't ever have to. Probably would have done just that, swallowing what pride he had left, if Mana hadn't given him an out.

He knew other monsters did it, of course, that they had to, and there was little they could do about it. Sometimes, little they cared to do about it. And Tim had seemed so uncomfortable talking about it, so gentle, that Majima had just sort of assumed his boyfriend used the soup kitchen. It occurred to Majima now that he probably should have asked, because this was actually kind of concerning? ]


I thought you were just there to fuck up his plans.

[ There was something... weirdly intimate about following Jack on the prowl and polishing off the bodies left behind when Mr. Space Tyrant was done sucking their essence out through his robot wires. Uncomfortably familiar about what sounded like more cleaning up after Handsome Jack's messes and curating his people feed. ]

Is it? Not like he's gotta eat people to kill 'em, or even dirty his own hands. He might just be humorin' you while you're there.

And even if he's not, you thought about why he's bein' so helpful, right? Letting ya tag along and run damage control. You sure he's not playin' nice because he knows he can't control ya the way he could back home?

[ If Majima's talks with Tim had convinced him of anything, it was that the combination of guilt and terrible self esteem was a hell of a drug. So easy to get what you wanted from someone who was convinced they deserved no better. And he really doubted Jack was doing anything to benefit Tim if it didn't also, ultimately, benefit Jack. ]

Because that's what I'd be doing if I was some space psycho. Ya already feel responsible for him, right? Like ya can't ever get out from under his shadow, like it has to be you and you alone who stops him. But he's gotta know that, on some level.

You don't think he's got some investment in keeping you thinking you're the only one who can stop Hurricane Jack?

I --

[ It felt like a brush-off, and hey. It wouldn't be the first one Majima had ever been on the business end of. It wasn't even the one that felt the worst ex post facto; that dubious honor was awarded to Saejima Taiga, for his mulish insistence on going through with that hit in '85 and not even telling his goddamn baby sister he was going to be going somewhere.

But he cared about Tim, so that sucked. Majima wanted to argue, of course, probably something along the lines of 'then why are you trying to do this alone', or 'you don't have to do anything', but guess what? He'd been down this road. He'd already agreed, despite all his misgivings, to leave it alone.

Even if Tim died, he'd be back. He should leave it alone.

He stopped Tim with the touch of his hand. ]


It's fine, I got it. And I know I already said I wouldn't get involved.

[ Majima didn't even want to talk about Jack. The fact that this dude, who was not in this relationship, somehow kept coming up in it? Thanks, he hated it. ]

How long are we talkin'?

[ One day, maybe he'd figure out why he was into hulking, immovable objects. That day was not today.

Majima was looking at Tim while he spoke, as if he might glean the answer to some unasked question through the act of simple observation. What he saw besides an exhausted minotaur was a mystery, but he put out a hand to touch Tim's face with the back of a white-furred hand. A careful touch, gentler than necessary.

Then he pulled the plug. The water was starting to get cold, anyway -- best to dry off before someone's teeth started chattering. ]


Here, go ahead and rinse off. You'll catch a cold, y'know.

[ He started to get up and lift one leg over the rim of the tub, aiming to brave the bathroom floor and retrieve some clean towels. ]

[ That got a little smile out of him. Majima leaned over and planted a kiss up on Tim's cheek. No smooching, not while they were both still buck naked and recovering from growing some goddamn organs, but it had a kind of lingering warmth to it. ]

You're welcome.

[ Ordinarily, this was the part where he wrapped the towel around his waist first, the whole thing with preserving his modesty, but this was Tim he was with. So instead, Majima swiped the fluffy bath towel over those long legs, swiping away at the moisture first with no immediate rush to cover up. ]

I know you're tryin', Tim. But you're beat, right? You should get back in bed. I can make something for when ya get back up.

I will.

[ When Tim woke up, there'd probably be the lingering smell of vegetables and broth left to cool in the kitchen... and a set of extra clothes on the nightstand. However, there'd also be a toasty werewolf pressed against him from behind, hand held reflexively over Majima's side, where a row of almost-healed stitch marks ran up over his torso.

Good luck, space cowman. ]

Mmph.

[ For a moment, it seemed like Tim wasn't going to be able to get away; Majima snuggled into the nape of his neck and gave Tim a little squeeze around the middle, as if out of some unconscious desire to soak up every last bit of warmth.

Then he sighed, and mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like "I love you" before letting go. Now there was a wolf curling up under the blankets, looking like a furry croissant. ]


[ Now that Tim was feeling better, maybe he'd take some time to notice various things around the apartment. In the kitchen was a pot of toasty vegetable soup. Notes of thyme, parsley, and rosemary to be found there, along with potatoes, carrots, celery, and the like. In fact, if Tim were to look in the refrigerator, he'd find a surprising amount of vegetable ingredients for a monster who loved his meat.

There were the little lunchboxes Tim might recognize as the one Majima had been using for him. On the counter sat a brown stuffed cow, as well as a few letters and a catalog. ]

[ Those fuzzy ears twitched a little at the sound of Tim's voice, and if a wolf's expression could be said to relax, well... that was precisely what it seemed to do as Tim planted a kiss on his furry head and left the room. ]

[ At first, the thick catalog seemed to involve Christmas products: stockings, trees, wreaths, and there were a couple of notes written down on the pages. Fir, pine, spruce... perhaps Majima had been thinking about getting a Christmas tree for the season.

Only wedged firmly in between some of the pages was an entirely different sort of catalog. This one ran significantly racier, with gloves and lingerie and leather and models (not all female, either) demonstrating the proper fitting of each. Man, those uh

sure were some skimpy negligees. The ones that Majima had circled seemed to favor styles that showed off the legs rather than the bust area. ]

[ Maybe a minute or two after the smell of coffee started wafting though the place, there was the sound of bare footsteps approaching. Majima had thrown on some quick loungewear, but his hair still fell loose over his shoulders, and he was yawning as he made his way toward Tim. None the wiser, apparently, that Tim had gained some foreknowledge in the holiday cheer department. ]

Hey, beautiful.

[ He'd been wanting to say that to his boyfriend in person for at least a week. ]
