sewdamncute | First stitch - Roommates, free time and hobbies

[Action/Ice Building, Floor Three, Apartment Thirteen]

GOKU!!!!!!!!!!

[Goddammit... It was bad enough that Kanji was living with the weirdo... okay, so, Goku wasn't that bad as a roommate. He was polite and helpful. He didn't judge Kanji on his hobbies. He was actually kinda supportive, in a weird sort of fashion.

It didn't even bother him too much that the other man liked to walk through the apartment half-dressed.... Okay, that first time totally didn't count! Who does that?

But, the towel on the floor of the bathroom, still damp from the power shower he'd taken? NOT cool.]

GET THIS SHIT UP OFF THE FLOOR! RIGHT NOW!

[Video, Later the same day]

[You can see the blond standing in a clothing shop. He's standing in front of a rack of clothes with a pensive look on his face. It's obvious the journal is open and facing out to film him for a purpose. Kanji adjusts the rack before moving to the side to let anyone curious and paying attention to see a display of knitted stuffed toys.]

Yeah, that's perfect.

[He turns to face the journal and tries to smile, but it's obvious he's nervous.]

So, um, name's Kanji Tatsumi for those who don't know me. I just...Look, here's the deal. My family runs a textile shop back home. Since I got here, I've been feelin' homesick. And, uh, I've been doin' stuff that I would back there. Thanks to Rhyme, I got a place to sell them from. So, if you need somethin' repaired or you're looking for a cute plush toy, I'm your guy.

I'll be here on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and all day Sunday.

That's all.

[...Excuse Trunks as he's just blurting out what he's thinking right now.]

What?! No! That's not what a Super Saiyan is at all!

The fuck's a Super Saiyan?

[He doesn't watch TV or read comics, so the references are lost on him, Trunks. Even for his world.]

[He sighs then transforms for Kanji to see.]

This is a Super Saiyan.

[And suddenly Trunks is a glowy blond. Without the peroxide or bleach. Damn, that would be kinda awesome to have access to.]

So, do you do anything besides glow and go blond?

[Don't forget that his hair is super spiky now too!]

My strength is doubled and I'm a lot more powerful. You might not want me to punch you in this form.

[Yeah, he noticed.]

Of course I don't want you to hit me. I want you to fix my sewing machine.

[He powers down to his normal form again then gets back to working on the sewing machine.]

Well the repairs are pretty much done. Just let me make a few adjustments.

[He adjusts a few things with the inner workings and squirts some oil to make sure nothing is rusted. Then ta da, it's finished!]

All right, now the repairs are officially done. Try it out.

[When Trunks moves away from the sewing machine, Kanji takes a few moments to thread it properly before he puts one of the shirts from Trunks's bag up and quickly repairs the hole. It only takes a few adjustments from the dials on the side to make sure it's done correctly before he holds it up for his "client".]

Try it on in the changing area in the back. I need to see how it fits now that it's repaired.

[Trunks tries on his shirt and peers out from the doorway to the changing area.]

It fits great, thank Kanji! You're a real expert at this.

Good, glad to hear it, man.

[He looks at the rest of the clothes in the bag and shakes his head.]

Come back in an hour and I can have the rest of this done. Nothing looks too bad, but I have to find some patches for some of the bigger rips.

[He changes back into his other clothes then comes out of the changing room.]

Sure. I'll see you in an hour then.

[And he turns to head out the door.]

[He looks up before the other guy leaves, curious.]

Hey, Trunks, you got a sister with blue hair, 'bout my age?

[He stops leaving and looks at him.]

You mean Bulla? Yeah, did you want to talk to her?

Oh, well, nah, I already talked to her through the journal thing. She mentioned you, but didn't say your name, so I wasn't sure if it was you she was talkin' about or not.

What exactly did she say about me?

She just said that you were friends with Goku's younger son and that you had lavender hair.

You mean Goten? Yeah, he's my best friend from home. I don't know if you've seen him around.

[Kanji is aware of Goten, Trunks. Very aware.]

Um, he's Goku's kid, right? I know 'em. They're my roommates.

Goten is a lot better when he's older, right now he's kinda... How do I explain it? I'm not sure I can find the right word for it.

An outta control weirdo? That's what he is.

No no, I know it's on the tip of my tongue...

[Then light bulb!]

I got it! He's hyperactive. He was that way when we were kids too.

Yeah, I guess. He's a kid. And every time I see him tryin' to down sugar, I get a chill down my spine.

Just a word of advice, don't let him do that. He and I were kind of trouble makers as kids. Especially when the two of us would do stuff we were told not to do like eat tons of candy or sugar. He only did it though because I egged him on a lot of the time.

[A sigh. Oh the memories of being a little terror as a child are flooding back into his mind.]

Look, I ain't his dad. If he wants to rot his teeth and brain with lots of sugar, he can do it. I'll just... lock myself in my bedroom or something.

And you sound like the two of you were spoiled little shits.

When you put it like that, we kind of were especially me. But then being from a rich family kind of lends itself to that.
