[ THAT SURE IS A YAKUZA TATTOO ALRIGHT.... Kaz blushes. he was kind of hoping Yukine wouldn't know... but maybe it's one of those things he didn't know, but everyone else does. Kaz is kind of our of the loop sometimes. ]
( nope. this kid used to run in all the wrong circles and he's also consumed enough media to know good and well about yakuza. they're in animated shows, video games, comics, and other stuff. hell, there's like an entire video game about them! dragon men or something? it's been some years.
yukine can't help but laugh because 1.) holy shit he's really a yakuza and 2.) he seems embarrassed about it. )
Under two conditions, okay? Then my lips are sealed.
[ Urk. Blackmailed by a kid. Your own not-son. He should be proud, maybe? Either way, Kiryu nods. He really doesn't want his friends knowing about his criminal "past," at least not until he's ready to be open about it. People might get the wrong idea.
Or the right idea, actually. He was 100% a yakuza, as far as he remembers. Just like in those Like A Dragon video games... ]
( as far blackmail goes, this is probably the easiest demands in the history of ever. he doesn't even need to ask for them like that considering that kaz seems to always be delighted that he even wants to take them in the first place.
but what's the fun in that? )
Secondly, I want your help in getting a job. I'm working the convention soon, but I'd like an actual job. I need money.
[ He nods. Obviously, that's no problem. Kaz enjoys taking selfies, and he certainly doesn't mind helping out Yukine. The second option shouldn't be all that hard, either... ]
Ok, I'll help you out. How old are you again?
[ Are they gonna have to break some laws to get you employed, Yukine? ]
15. Unless you want to me to lie. I can pass as 17! At least.
( someone vastly overestimates themselves. while yukine might think that he could pass, the reality is that he's pretty baby-faced. he's just got the deep voice of a man. that's as far as it goes. )
That's fine. You can work off the books if you go over the hourly limit, anyway.
[ Woah, that wouldn't be legal, would it??? Kiryu doesn't seem super worried about it, it's not like Yukine will want to work 30 hours or anything, he goes to school! ]
If you don't mind the glitz, I could probably talk to Majima. He owns his own business, so he's probably your best bet if you want a job that'll pay you well. He can always use extra hands backstage at his club.
I think. . . Maybe Majima would be best in general? I already kind of know him, so it'd be a lot more comfortable to work for him? Instead of some stranger.
( then a nod. )
There's someone I like. I'd like to do things with her with my own money.
[ Kaz nods. Majima's always the best choice, obviously. And Kiryu understands the worth of something you earned yourself versus something else. it's admirable!! ]
Yeah. I'll talk to him. He'll be happy to help, I'm sure.

Ah. Well...
[ Can he even deny it? ]
...Don't tell anyone, okay?
[ He was definitely a yakuza. ]

Just call me or something after you've talked to him?
no subject
[ Kiryu smiles back. He can tell Yukine's earnest, and honestly he wouldn't trust anyone else to watch over him!! Majima will take good care of him. ]
Sure. I'll keep you posted.
