Ignoring it for the moment, listening to Hideki's anger rising, he just shook his head. Holding the needle and thread in his hand as his boss pulled away, he simply lifted his head and stared at Hideki, slowly smiling. His best defense, as well as his calmness in any situation. He'd keep his cool as much as possible, while his boss pulled away from being stitched up.
"I told you she is a good friend, so relax. No, you never asked me to be here, but I'm here on my own will. If you got a problem with that, tell me to leave, and you can do it yourself. In the meantime, here." He reached behind him of his jeans pocket, pushed out the flask, and it slid down the back of his leg, his foot instantly kicking upwards as well as his free hand reaching out to grasp the flask with precision and quickness. Stroking the lid once, it twirled off and opened as he handed it to Hideki. He noticed that his boss was a hard liquor man, as Keichi was a lightweight from hell. Whiskey. He had a feeling he'd need it today.
"Look...you're a brother to me, and that's how it's been. If you don't want anyone caring for you, don't ask Maiyuki out. She's a good girl, whether she seems like a bitch and a half or not. Not only that, you shouldn't have hired me. I take care of those I trust."
At that, he pushed away from the wall and walked out of the bathroom, his anger had left when they walked into the elevator, but now it seemed he had both his best friend and his 'brother' at his throat, leaving a bad taste in his mouth.
