Who: Byodoin and Kintarou
When: the 18th
Where: Byodoin's office
What: Byodoin shows Kintarou his kid.
Kintarou went scrambling for Byodoin’s office because he had THINGS to show Byodoin and he got to see a PHOTO of Byodoin’s son that was apparently a thing!! And he randomly bounced off a wall as he ran down the hallway, tumbling in the air and continuing to run because he had SO MUCH ENERGY after being stuck in the Medbay for a few days again.
He burst through the door and lunged straight for Byodoin. “HAY HAY!!! Hallo!!! I brought PHOTOS!!!”
Byodoin was prepared for Kintarou to explode into his office, since he'd sent the invitation, so he was able to catch Kintarou and allowed him a big ass hug too, because he'd been missed this past week.
Kin had a way of making bad situations seem less dire. A gift, really.
"You're feeling better, right? I don't want you here if you're not."
Kintarou clung to Byodoin in return because a week separated and not being allowed to go to the outpost to rejoin him had been TOO LONG, especially right after being gone on the expedition.
“YES YES!! I am feeling all good!!! Was cleared from the Medbay!” After a few days of a very upset stomach and a lot of time spent on the toilet in misery. “I promise! And I won’t drink anymore MYSTERY WATER again okay?”
"Good. You might need a refresher course on what's safe to do on an alien planet though, so I'll prepare a video for you to watch." Sighed Byodoin. Maybe he could get Mizuki to help, since it involved safety.
Wasn't that his job?
"Anyways, you're here to see my pictures of Kichiro, right?" Byodoin asked, moving for the stack of papers (and a few photos) on his desk.
Kintarou sighed loudly because he didn’t want to watch a video he knew what to do. “The other guy didn’t get SICK though,” he sighed. “Should’ve been safe, he wasn’t pooping when we got back.” It was dumb.
He perked up at the mention of PHOTOS though and climbed to hang over Byodoin’s shoulder, looking down at his desk. “YES! Please please, I wanna see the SON who looks like you and is old and hairy.”
Byodoin snorted. Old and hairy, huh? What the hell was Kintarou imagining Byodoin had produced? "Well, he does look like me, especially if you've seen any pictures of me as a brat."
Byodoin spread out a total of five photos of a little blond cherub of a child, some featuring just the child and some featuring the child with a dark haired woman that Kintarou might recognize as being one of the UEA prosecutors from the legal department.
Byodoin did like people with a strong sense of justice, after all.
Kintarou stared at the photos as they were shown, because oh how strange to connect this little kid to Byodoin, who had definitely never been young and had only ever gotten older and grumpier over the past 10 years.
He stared some more and then, “AH! AH I recognise her!! She came to INTERVIEW ME once for something…” Kintarou scrunched up his face as he tried to remember. “Dumb old lady Ki…” his memory failed him on the name fully.
"Kitano-san." Byodoin filled in with a sigh. "Yup. She's Kichiro's mother."
He turned to turn on his hot plate and start boiling some water for tea. He could use a nice relaxing cup right now.
"Anyway. That's my kid. Kitano Kichiro, age three. I won’t even get to meet him in person until he's eight." Byodoin was pretty upset over that bit.
OOHH yes yes the name was definitely ringing bells now. Kintarou nodded away and kept staring at the photos, twisting around to keep an eye on them even as Byodoin turned.
“That is very late,” he said disapprovingly. “He should be taught to WRESTLE before that if he wants to be any good at it.” Like Kintarou had been wrestling since at least the age of 2. “He should get a good teacher until you can go and teach him.”
"I'm planning to ask Duke and Oni to check in on him regularly. Maybe my sister too, if she's nearby." Byodoin replied with a sigh. For now that and monthly videos was all he was going to be able to do. Hopefully it would be enough. "You'll have to be a good uncle to him, when you meet him. After all, you're practically family to me, which means you're family to Kichiro too."
Kintarou frowned. “WHERE is he?? ‘Cause my mum can check on him too!!! Teach him how to WRESTLE PROPERLY. And he can play with my brothers!!!” Because his brothers definitely needed more playmates too. Kintarou hugged Byodoin’s head. “He will have SO MANY uncles. But I will be NUMBER ONE.”
Yeah no. Byodoin was going to have to shoot down the idea of letting his three year old play with a bear and wolf. Nice try though, Kintarou. "I don't think he's anywhere near your mom. But I'll be sure to send word to her to be ready in case he needs to visit her."
Hopefully that would never happen. It would be nice if his kid could have a somewhat normal life.
"I'm sure you will be his favorite, though. You're a good guy, Brat." Byodoin smiled at Kintarou.
“Maybe could go visit her on HOLIDAY,” Kintarou said. Because Byodoin was very well traveled it would make sense for his SON to also travel a lot.
He grinned back at Byodoin, feeling his chest puff out a bit proudly because compliments from BYODOIN were the best ones. “I bet he’ll be SUPER BIG though, like you.” Kintarou squinted at the photos and was that some facial hair he could see already?? “Hairy too.”
There was no facial hair. Byodoin didn't get hairy until after the damn serum anyway. So his kid was probably fine, right?
"He's three. He's too little to be hairy yet." Byodoin replied firmly. "He probably will grow to be as big as me, though."
HRMMMM Kintarou looked at Byodoin closely, basically pressing his nose against Byodoin’s cheek to stare. He couldn’t imagine Byodoin without hair, it was too weird. “That is OKEY though. If he’s your size, it means he will be SATISFYING to CRUSH TO THE GROUND.” Because Kintarou had no doubts that he could do that.
"Yeah. He's on the don't wrestle list for now. He still needs to get stronger so he doesn't get hurt." Byodoin replied dryly. It wasn't like they'd be meeting soon, but he felt the need to establish that fact.
“Can I have a PHOTO of him to keep then???” Kintarou asked brightly. “‘Cause I have everyone sorted into WRESTLE and CAN’T WRESTLE lists on my wall.” And of course, pride of place in his card collection was still the SR Tachibana card. “And I wanna print my photos my mum sent me ‘cause I can hang them up too.”
Byodoin nodded his head and turned towards his copier to copy a picture of the kid for Kintarou. "Sure. I'll print out copies of the photos your mom sent while I'm at it, too."
OH!!! Byodoin was so good to him!! Kintarou shoved his communicator in Byodoin’s face to show him the photos, flashing through the photos of his mum, his mum with his brothers, his brothers together… “They went to EARTH on a HOLIDAY, I wanna go there again.”
"Maybe we'll go someday. Earth is on my bucket list. Though I hear you need to watch out for the geese." Byodoin took the communicator and fiddled with it until the printer started spitting out photos for Kintarou. "Safety's from there, so maybe we can get him to show us around. Or at least recommend things to see."
“I didn’t see any GEESE when I went there before,” Kintarou said. “Just chickens! And sheep and cows!!! On the farm, remember??? ‘Cause I was riding them.” He peered over Byodoin’s shoulder and watched the photos get printed out. “Safety is… MIZUKI right?? He is very nice, very helpful man.”
"Yeah, I like him. I think he's starting to like me too. Though I'm not sure how me having a kid is going to affect things..." Byodoin sighed and shook his head. This whole situation was... not ideal.
He stacked the photos up neatly and handed them to Kintarou, the photo of Kichiro on top. "Here you go brat. Enjoy."
“OOHHH, I like him too!” Kintarou used Byodoin’s hip to climb up a little higher, sitting on his shoulders now and looking over his head. He clutched at his newly printed photos carefully, looking at them. “Did you show MIZUKI the photos? ‘Cause I bet he’d like to see. ‘Cause your son looks like a hairless you.” Especially now that he could look closer and see there was no facial hair on Kichiro.”
Byodoin shook his head. "It's kind of awkward to go up to the guy you're trying to woo and offer to show him pictures of your kid, so no, I haven't shown him yet. You... can show whoever you want though. He's not a secret and I'm not ashamed to have a kid."
Kintarou awkwardly leaned over Byodoin’s head to look at his face, upside down. “So I can show Mizuki the photos??” he asked, eyes wide. “‘Cause then it won’t be awkward for you, Byodoin.”
Byodoin still thought that sounded pretty awkward, Kin-chan. Reminding Mizuki he was a father would be inevitable though. Might as well embrace the uncomfortable truth. "Do whatever you want."
OOHHH. “Thank you thank you!!! I will go show him NOW!” Kintarou scrambled off from Byodoin’s shoulders to drop to the ground.
Byodoin raised an eyebrow. "Right now? Okay then, have fun, brat."
He opened his door so Kintarou didn't just plow through it and break it.
Kintarou waved the photos excitedly at Byodoin. “BYE OLD MAN BYODOIN!!!! I will tell you LATER after I have shown MIZUKI okay!!” he grinned and sprinted off through the door because oh, now he had to find Mizuki.
