[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.

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.

[Kanji nods. He was pretty sure it was something like that from the way Trunks talks, but he didn't want to be a dick by bringing it up.]

It's cool. Can't judge myself, since...my parents were kinda quiet and I'm the opposite of that most of the time.

Your sister seems to think that she could learn how to do some of the stuff I can. [Not that he disbelieves her, but spending time with girls is awkward for him and he wants to know if she'll suddenly just drop off the face of the planet and start talking about him behind his back or something like that.] Is she really into learning about it or is it some kinda phase?

I don't know if you've met either of my parents but they're the opposite of quiet.

[Yeah. Just yeah. Also don't doubt his sister, Kanji. She's a good person.]

Nope, she's looking to start a business when she graduates high school. I'm going to help her out of course too. So I'm positive she's into it.

Can't imagine anyone who's friends with Goku being quiet, so I'm not really surprised.

[He doesn't doubt her. He just... doesn't do well with the opposite sex so he's trying to avoid awkward situations for himself. Nothing to do with Bulla, okay?]

Great. [He could sound a little more happy about that, but he doesn't.]

Then, I guess I better get crackin' on trying to find stuff to teach her so she can get better.

[As long as you're not hitting on his sister, Trunks is fine with it. But he does notice Kanji's behavior and brings something up.]

You know I wouldn't mind learning more myself about sewing, especially if I'm going to be helping my sister with starting a business.
