nobody really expects the guy working the sewing machine to be a gang member, and he doesn't have the looks much anymore, either. or he didn't, until the haircut. he's fine with that, really- he's always been the mediator, so being hardcore like some of them isn't necessary. ]
Yeah, two of'em. Luna and Mana. My mom works all the time since it's just us 4, so I've been lookin' after them since I was young.
That sounds hard, but you look pretty proud about it. I'm sure they'll grow up great.
(and look at that, right in time for him to dodge any questions there may be about him, they reach the spa. bask your eyes into fancy tamamo glory, mitsuya. there's a moment in which they're greeted and bowed to, and there's a delay from which shin waits to see what the other teen does - does he bow? if he does, so will shin, parroting the cultural norm.)
Not gonna lie and say it wasn't rough as hell, but wouldn't give it up for anything. Learned my lesson.
[ lucky bastard you are, shin, that mitsuya doesn't tend to pry too much. he's too busy eyeballing the entrance to shin's chosen venue as they enter, the glitz and glamour a little...much, for his specific sensibilities. when you grow up poor, this is a sure step up from thrift stores and his mother cutting his hair.
mitsuya blinks for a stunned second, before bowing a little in response- reflex, but he can respect business. ]
...That's puttin' it lightly. You know, when you said 'taken care of', I was expecting somethin' a little less...expensive. Sure you're good with this?
[ like, he knows you're paying, but listen. he might feel bad?? ]
I'm a millionaire. When I got here, someone was nice to me and I was mean, but I'm paying it forward. This isn't going to be much for me.
(with his economies, thousands of gigs, the tanabata wish that gave him so much, and shared expenses? he could do even more, but a feeling in him says maybe mitsuya wouldn't take it if he offered more.)
You can relax. We're having a spa day! You sound like a sane one out of your group, so you should just take it.
