Harley is sitting cross-legged on a random Nexus couch today. She has found a pamphlet from the Pokémart and is looking through some of the Pokémon that could be adopted and trained.

She seems in a good mood today. Twirling her hair, as she reads the pamphlet. And there is a huge bag of caramel popcorn at her side.

"If you could have any kind of pet, what kind of animal or creature would you have?"

"What do you think qualifies as being a suitable pet owner?"

He arches an eyebrow and nudges her back. "Ya ain't been much of a challenge thus far. Or have ya been goin' easy on me?"

"Wow, what's up with this one?" This time he points at a ditto. "How 'bout a purple blob hangin' out, smilin' at ya?"

"Well, you can take those kid gloves off, sweetheart. Gimme yer worst," he chides, swatting the pamphlet on her knee.

"So which critter's speakin' to ya the most, Harley-chan?"
gorogorogoro_chan: (:D)

"Do we need a safe word?" he laughs.

"Maybe one of these dog-lookin' things?" He taps on a growlithe. "They look scrappy."

Majima starts laughing again, then sighs. "Shit, I ain't flirted this hard in a while. Other than helpin' the girls practice for work. They usually keep their hands to themselves, though."

He throws an arm over the back of the couch behind Harley. "Seems yer taste in friends translates to pets, huh? Fuckin' ride or die."

"Yeah. You can say that again. Girls back home ain't so forward 'bout what they want. An' when they are it's usually uh, lotsa commitment. Can't blame 'em, I guess. We harp on the ladies 'bout starting families and shit. They can't be fuckin' around." For his part, Majima seems relaxed, allowing this closeness to continue despite his earlier edict about fraternizing with co-workers.

"And yeah, I getcha. Ya been through some shit, and it just ... I dunno, makes ya feel miles away from other people?"

Majima shivers a little at the touch. He shifts on the couch to angle himself towards her, crossing one leg over the other, almost boxing her in. "I'm kinda in the same boat. Dolly's daughter calls me 'daddy' and it gets me thinkin'. But I sure as hell ain't real dad material and I've already made my choice -- what kinda family I'm a part of."

He curls a lock of her hair between his fingers. "Happiness ain't 'one size fits all.' If you could have any kinda life ya wanted, what would it look like?"

"Gotta say, it's been nice havin' friends again. Been kinda lonely since my bro got locked up an' ... uh, everything went to shit."

He looks down self-consciously when she ascribes some of her happiness to his help. What he's learned about her history with Joker comes to mind and he takes her hand and gives it a squeeze. "Glad yer finally seein' some happiness, Harley-chan."
gorogorogoro_chan: (Ominous)

Majima exhales and rests his head on Harley's. He rubs the top of her hand with his thumb. "I'm livin' on borrowed time. My happiness comes from bein' alive at all, honey."

An ambiguous dodge of an answer if ever there was one.

"Fuck if I even know what that looks like," Majima snorts. "You might have to teach me what this 'living for real' is all about."

Majima hesitates briefly before relaxing into the hug and wrapping his own arms around her. He's gotten more hugs during this time in the Nexus than he has in years. It's strange, but ... nice?

"How'd we go from talkin' pets to this, anyway?" he mumbles over her shoulder.
gorogorogoro_chan: (:D)

"Who ya callin' old? I'm twenty-four!" he takes this opportunity to get revenge for that earlier move and gives her side a quick tickle.

"Only if you're lookin' to rob this cradle," Majima says as he tilts his head and shoulders back enough to look at her. "Judgin' from how cozy you're gettin', all signs point to 'yes.' An' we're talkin' big, flashing neon signs."

"I kinda noticed. Like I said before, it's refreshin'." He sets his elbow on the back of the couch and props his head on his hand. His other arm slides to rest around her waist. "You just seein' how far you can scooch a toe over my professional boundaries, or what?"
