The comment had caught Akiyama off guard. They were supposed to go out drinking, not give life advice here! He waved his hand dismissively, “Majima-san, since when do you give out relationship advice?” he chuckled, although now he had been curious of the other man’s relationships. Majima wasn’t wrong though, Akiyama really should make a move before someone else did but despite having charm and good looks the money lender often ended up having bad luck with his relationships.
“You ever think about marrying someone?”
“Me?!” Majima scoffed and then sighed. The gentleman doth protest too much. “I jus’ know a good woman when I see one, an’ she’s good to ya. That’s all. Seen her stood at the top of the stairs ‘fore ya came out - eyes full o’... I dunno, whatever chicks think about.”
His gaze drifted toward the shining rows of bottles lined up behind the bar, a wry smile on full lips as if he couldn’t believe what he was about to admit.
“Think about it? I did marry her.” And he had loved her too, hard and fierce enough that it had torn the two of them apart. In the end though, that hadn’t been enough for either of them. They were both to blame - and him most of all, he knew that only too well. “But that’s old news. When’re ya gunna ask her out, huh?”
