[it is business as usual for Dino in Japan, though he's not in the usual parts of Japan he visits. Business has brought him to areas that are a little more metropolitan than he's used to, but he doesn't mind it so much, not when he's walking with a few of his men down the street after a successful meeting.

The people running around on fancy rollerblades is a new thing though.]

Hahaah, you guys think we missed out on some new trend?

[that little bit of info is enough for a quick exchange of knowing glances by everyone. The men settle back, slowly fading into the background to leave their boss alone to take care of things. He's appreciative of the gesture, but that doesn't make it any easier trying to explain to this teenager he's never met before things that were supposed to be mafia-confidential. That doesn't mean he has to be mean though, and the smile he gives is a soft one]

Probably not for another ten years. Sorry.

[thankfully, there was another lamp post behind Kazu, and he sagged against it, exhaling noisily]

Shit... Sorry. --I'm Kazu we met, I mean, I met older-you in that city with all the sexy, Micro-whatever.

Fuck, I sound insane.

[not as insane as Dino had felt when he'd gotten back all those months ago, waking up in the middle of the night from a dream that'd felt too real to be just a dream. He glances over at where he knows his men are standing and moves closer, letting his voice drop as he fixes his eyes on Kazu]

Micrometropolis?

I was there for a few months. It was a city run on- ah, y'know, right?

I was really beginning to think I'd dream the whole thing up.

Since I ran into older versions of a couple of people I know, I'm guessing you ran into an older version of me while I was there.

'R-ran into', sure. [reaches a hand to pull off then resettle his beanie]

[there's a moment's pause as something clicks into place in Dino's head, that faint inkling of an idea that might explain why Kazu's reactions are the way they are]

Hey, did we...?

[the way Kazu's face goes red and he starts tugging at his beanie is really all the answer Dino needs, which is good, because kazu can't seem to get it out] W... We...

[this? Is an arm around Kazu's shoulder and a not-as-giant-as-before-but-still-pretty-damn-tall Italian man leaning against him]

Became really good friends, right? Haha, jeez, you don't have to be shy about it.

--Yeah totally. [sags in mingled relief and disappointment, resisting the instinctual urge to nuzzle against Dino]

[he can feel that sag of Kazu's body under his arm, which is one of the reasons why he's drawing his arm away just in case he overstepped a boundary somewhere, offering the younger teen a weak smile]

I guess this is kinda unfair to you though. You and I've got history that I can't even remember.

Er. S'not your fault, don't worry.

Maybe not, but I'd like to make it up to you. For future me too.

Hey, how about a name to start with? To get us both on familiar ground.

[shit shit shit. This was, unquestionably, Dino. Shit.]

... Mikura Kazu.

That makes you... Kazu then, right? Would you mind if I called you that?

[info]ex_turningtr279

Uh, sure. Everyone does.

... Can I call you Dino?

You already do.

[laughing and hooking his arm around Kazu again]

Hey, don't worry about it. We're friends in the future and I've got a feeling we'll be ones now.

[gives a glance over]

I've got pretty good taste in people.

[aaack it's so weird to have this guy who is Dino but not Dino touching him] Oh, hey, do you have Enzio?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]uncoiledwhip
2010-02-09 05:51 am UTC (link)
Yeah, he's right here. You knew him too, huh?

[delves into his jacket pocket and pulls out Enzio, holding him out to Kazu]

I don't think he'll remember you either though, not if you're from our future.

[info]ex_turningtr279

Yeah, Enzio helped up out of a tight spot [pauses, blushing, and quickly switches] And tried to eat my foot a couple of times.

[scritches the turtle.]

[laughs, letting the turtle crawl his way onto Kazu's shoulder]

That sounds about right for him.
