Summary
“Finish it out,” he grits between clenched teeth. “Go on. Ask it.”
Nolan shifts in his seat. “Are or are you not attracted, at the very least, to Wilson?”
House knocks his forehead against his cane. “I don’t know. Maybe.”
[In which Nolan pulls at the Wilson thread, and House can't stop it all from unraveling. Repression is a hell of a drug.]

Summary
Before he can get his thoughts in order enough to say anything else, Saejima speaks up again. “Actually, I ain’t havin’ this conversation right now either. Not when you can’t even remember Kiryu. It ain’t fair on any of us.”
Once again, he turns to leave. Once again, Goro reaches desperately after him. He rolls over, reaching out to him, hoping he can catch him by the ankle or do something, anything, to get him to stay.
---
Goro Majima's memories may be gone, but his emotions still remain. Including the complicated, messy emotions surrounding two of the most important men in his life.

Summary
With Nishiki in jail for the murder of their patriarch and Yumi missing, Kiryu finds himself suddenly lost and alone in the sea of Tojo clan politics. He's never been great at emotional matters, and this is enough to push him hard into some vices.
Good thing Majima's there to steer his wayward coworker away from some of the more self destructive ones for completely altruistic reasons.

101 Fun Facts About Cats by saejimaeverywhere

Summary
There was something surreal, Saejima thought, almost nightmarish about seeing Majima again. Like this was some vulgar facsimile of his kyoudai, with the right voice and the right hair and mostly the right face, but not quite right enough to be fooled into believing that this was the same Majima Goro he once knew. His kyoudai was loud and radiant and, while not happy per se, he was violently alive. This man felt like smoke and ash. Like a childhood home that had burned down a long time ago.

Summary
“First time with a man?”
Kiryu’s cheeks burned. He could lie. And maybe if it had been anybody else, if it were a pretty hostess or that Poppo cashier with the nose ring that always gave him an extra hot bun, he would have. But this was Majima. He hated being lied to. It felt wrong to lie to him.
“First time, period,” he muttered.

“So…” Kiryu lowered his fists. “I guess no fight today?”
“Nah. Can’t hurt the kid, ya know?” Majima shrugged, as if whatever he said was the most expected follow-up ever.
“Kid?”
“Sorry, Kiryu-chan,” he snorted and twisted his face into a faux desolation, pretty dissonant with his resident maniacal gremlin grin. “We ain’t fightin’ for a good while. Ya not the only one becomin’ a parent nowadays.”Bookmarked by jootaroo

Goromi rolls her head towards him on the wall. “Kiryu-chan, don’t make a liar outta me, I swear.”
Kiryu frowns, no longer following her train of thought. “Huh?”
A sharp finger jabs him in the arm. “I told ya already that I don’t do pity fucks. But you are really testin’ my patience, you big sad, sexy man.”

Summary
“That leaves us with the romance part,” Nanba said. “What do we know about Kiryu-san’s love life?”
“Yumi Sawamura,” Seonhee replied matter-of-factly. “Dead for nearly twenty years.”
Silence fell around the table as they all considered this new angle. If they were talking about any other guy Seonhee would have suggested finding him a pretty girl who’d show him a good time. [...] But she knew it just wouldn’t work. It’s not that Kiryu-san didn’t appreciate beautiful women; he just wasn’t a man who’d fall head over heels for one so quickly. It was a quality she admired about him, and which, at the same time, annoyed her to no end. The man was immovable like a mountain.
“There had to be someone else,” Saeko said. “You don’t really believe Kiryu-san didn’t even have a crush on anyone after Yumi died, do you?”

Kiryu's friends are not ready to give up on him just yet and come up with an idea.

Summary
Real strength isn't about how hard you can throw a punch.
After a long and difficult hospital stay, Kiryu is going home to Okinawa. But, survival means facing a whole new set of challenges, not least of all figuring out how his unorthodox family dynamic fits into the often rigid and unforgiving expectations of society. Watching Daigo and Haruka struggle to achieve the same acceptance he's still seeking for himself, Kiryu is torn between embracing his truest, most unapologetic self... or fading into the background. On this path to true healing, our heroes will learn to support each other, to love without fear, and how to embrace the freedom that comes with defying the odds. 🐟
Currently a work in progress. Thank you for your patience as I continue to work on this.

Summary
When Majima receives a personal invitation to join Kiryu on a Hawaii vacation to celebrate his full recovery, he isn't worried. Majima fought a giant squid and lived to tell the tale, surely he can handle sharing a hotel room with the subject of his unrequited affection for the past thirty years. Things are going fine, until Kiryu starts offering to buy him drinks and people keep mistaking them for a couple. Majima was starting to think that giant squid hadn’t been so bad, after all.
Set after the events of Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

Love confessions in Hawaii (Peak old man yaoi)

Summary
Asking Kiryu on a date is supposed to be a joke. It’s just another in Majima’s long list of contrived reasons for Kiryu to get mad enough at him to fight him.
So he’s thrown for a loop when Kiryu doesn’t answer him by punching him in face, but by accepting.
Obviously Kiryu’s playing along, just like he did with the bartender scheme, and with Goromi, and everything else. Majima can work with that. There’s no way he’ll crack before Kiryu does.
Or: Majima commits to the bit so hard he ends up in a long-term relationship.

Summary
Kiryu is on a job in Sapporo and runs into someone he wasn't expecting. Shenanigans ensue.
***
Majima took his elbows off the table and slammed it with his palm, making the beer cans and the ashtray jump, laughing maniacally.
“There's no way I'm comin' all the way out to this backwoods town without even tryin' to find my favorite dragon!”
“Speaking of that,” Kiryu said weakly, “How exactly did you find me?”
Majima's grin broadened. “Nah-ah, Kiryu-chan,” he wiggled his finger. “A guy can't go 'round revealin' his sources. Let's just say a little bird told me 'bout an apartment that the Dojima family had in Sapporo. Decided to check it out. Secured a spot in that cafe on the corner and waited for ya to show up. Honin' my detective skills.”
“So when you saw me coming,” Kiryu said slowly, trying to comprehend. “You climbed up on that roof like a cat and jumped me?”
Majima hee-hee-heed in response. “Ya gotta have that element of surprise in your life, Kiryu-chan. Otherwise, it's just plain borin’!”
Kiryu looked at him incredulously. Rumor had it that Majima was batshit crazy. He was starting to believe it.

Summary
I can't lose this, Kiryu thought desperately, not again.
Miraculously, he was getting another chance, and he would never forgive himself if he didn’t take it, regardless of what came next. Despite everything, Majima still had feelings for him, and it made him feel hopeful for the first time in years. Maybe together they could make everything better. A sudden, profound realization struck him like a bolt of lightning—this was his last chance to turn back from the grim, lonely path he was walking on.
