Hoji barely blinked as Ban entered the currently empty Control Room his arms above his head as he loudly proclaimed, “Yatta!”
“What did you do this time?” he asked the piece of paper in front of him and sighed inwardly as Ban immediately flopped down in the chair next to his, despite the number of empty seats around the table.
“Nothing,” the other man replied. “Just been watching tv. There’s a new show on, Partner. You should see it. It’s American but it has Japanese people in it!” Clearly Ban was incredibly taken with this fact. “And their Japanese is actually good.”
“Stop the press,” Hoji replied dryly. “Aren’t you supposed to be working?” he added pointedly, but Ban ignored him. As usual.
“But they’re so like us!” Ban protested before assuming what Hoji assumed was supposed to be a heroic pose. “The Hero, charged by destiny to save the world. You would be Ando,” he finished thoughtfully, slouching back in his chair. “Sarcastic but loyal, the faithful sidekick.”
Hoji gave Ban a baleful glare. “I am not your sidekick,” he said icily, to which Ban only replied with a dismissive wave of his hand.
“You really need to see it, Partner. Trust me.”
“Do I have to?” he muttered under his breath, prompting a pout that only Ban could take to such proportions.
“Partner,” the other man whined. “Please. Just watch it.”
Hoji sighed, knowing he was only letting himself in for grief even as he opened his mouth. “If I agree will you shut up?”
Ban nodded enthusiastically and all but jumped to his feet, grabbing Hoji by the wrist and pulling him out of his seat, then out of the Control Room. “Yep,” he said cheerfully. “Now, it gets off to a slow start but by the time you get to around episode six it really starts to pick up…”
