This was pretty much Baofu's Wednesday night routine: hit up the Hirasaka district. Red Light Shiraishi was a great place for ramen, baseball and booze. He always stayed until closing, lost in his own thoughts or conversing with the owner of the establishment while the radio provided background noise

"...Not tonight..." He grumbles, dropping his hand back to his side and letting the door close again. Even though he'd lost touch with everyone again...somehow, Baofu's jeering was the last thing he wanted to see right now.

"I'm glad they're back. It...it was worth it, no matter what I lost, getting them back."

"Well, sucks to be you, I gained something from this whole fiasco," he says in a way so subtlely infuriating that only Baofu could manage it.

"I got them back, but....I'm not...I...Go ahead and shoot me. Becky's gone." So there, a small part of him shoots back. Bet you weren't expecting that when you were being a smart-ass, did you?

"I... you... what the fuck, Suou!" Baofu smacks Katsuya upside the head. "You fucked up good, didn't you!"

He takes the hit and just kind of doesn't bother to look back at Baofu.
"But she didn't know. I couldn't tell her and by the time I could explain....it was too late." He reaches for another cigarette and lights it. "She might be seeing someone else now. I don't know."

"And, you're right. She probably is seeing someone else, since you're a shitty boyfriend."

If the man really cared about Becky, how could he not see the problem Katsuya had been having? If he was simply trying to pick a fight, he was going to get one.
It took effort to ease his hand out of the fist it had made. "...It..it's none of my business. Regardless of what I feel toward her, I won't force her to do anything. I'm not like that." He sounds kind of pissed now.

Baofu notices Katsuya's fisted hand, and a sly grin forms on his lips.
"Were you going to hit me, Suou?"
Reply
"It doesn't matter what you think of me though. Yes, I'm still scared of Him. And yes I will still do whatever it takes to never let him even think about harming Becky."

"Man, that's gotta suck, being so dedicated when she's probably off screwing some other guy."
Yeah, Baofu's definitely looking for a fight.

The rational side of Katsuya knows Baofu's just looking for an excuse to fight. But the rational side of Katsuya can't control the hand that shoots out and grabs Baofu by the collar of the smug bastard's shirt, nor can it make his let go as he gets up, dragging the other with him.
"I fucking hate you, you know that?!" Neglecting his jacket entirely, Katsuya half walks, half drags Baofu to the door. Taking only minimal care not to break the door, Katsuya kicks it open and brings both of them outside before shoving Baofu away from him. "You don't have any right to talk about her that way."

A deep breath, hair and glasses adjustment later, and Baofu is ready to go.
"Oh really? Who says? You're not the boss of me," he says with a sneer. Now he's just getting annoying.
Reply
He moves away from the door a couple steps and gives Baofu a withering glare. Then he's moving, running toward the bastard at full speed, right leg already sweeping out in an attempt to knock the other off his feet.
Bastard wouldn't be smiling then.

Time to think quick! He hasn't had a fight in quite awhile...
Baofu, thankfully, is on his toes with this one. He pivots to the side to avoid getting knocked over and, in turn, crouches and sweep kicks at Katsuya to knock the cop off his feet instead.
Why, yes, Baofu does know kung-fu.

Katsuya jumps back to avoid eating pavement, but is thrown off and has to put distance between himself and Baofu rather than striking out again right away. All the while that smug expression sits perfectly on Baofu's face.
Damn it.
