Summary: Ryohei talks to Poland. Because Poland is awesome. And not deaf.
the Story:
There were a lot of things that Ryohei was fed up with, and at the top of the list was "dealing with people named Seimei and Hibari." It wasn't that he was particularly angry at either of them; he didn't mind helping Hibari whenever he needed it, and right now he definitely did, and he hadn't seen Seimei for days. He knew wasn't likely to see him again any time soon, either. But dealing with Hibari meant dealing with Seimei at least mentally, and at the moment that was more than enough.

The whole situation had gotten more complicated than Ryohei liked, and for once, he felt like he needed to talk to someone about it. He couldn't go to Hibari, though, so the next person to come to mind had, somehow, been Poland. Even if the nation didn't remember it, he'd told Ryohei an awful lot about his own problems, and Ryohei felt like it would be okay to talk to him.

He'd sent the nation a message asking him to meet him in a certain tearoom, and that was where he was now, juggling two balls idly with one hand while he waited.

Poland wasn't quite sure why Ryohei wanted to talk to him right now, but then again, he'd been drunk enough when he met Ryohei that he wasn't sure about a few things regarding him. At any rate, his curiosity was piqued by the message, so he grabbed his communicator and wandered down towards the tearooms, peeking into a few of the wrong ones by accident before he caught sight of Ryohei.

"Hey," he greeted, smoothing out his skirt a little as he shuffled into the room. He still wasn't used to the idea of dressing up in front of people, but it was getting to feel a little more natural (even if he did still prefer men's clothes day-to-day). "What's up, Ryohei?"

Ryohei caught the juggling balls he was playing with and set them down on the table as he looked over at Poland. Somehow, the dress barely registered with him.

"I wanted to talk to someone." The boxer sat up straighter, pulling the sleeves of his sweatshirt down over his hands. "And I know we don't know each other that well, since you don't really remember anything, but you seemed like a good person to talk to about this."

He smiled, nothing about that seeming remotely strange to him. "No problem," he chirped, tossing himself down casually in a chair across from Ryohei. "You've like, come to the right guy, for sure~ What's on your mind?"

Well that was easy. Now the problem was where to begin...

"Um...my friend got attacked. By that same guy who's been hurting other people. The Major or whatever. And he couldn't see, and he still can't hear or speak."

"Right, we totally talked about that before..." Stupid Major. Poland sighed. "Is he like, doing any better? America got the Major, for what it's worth."

He nodded. "Yeah, I saw that. Hibari can see now, but he still can't hear or talk. Yujinn said he had to do more research to fix it."

He plucked at the bandages on his hands, frowning a little. "I punched his boyfriend in the face, though. Because the reason that guy went after Hibari is because Seimei attacked him. And he knew that that guy might try to hurt Hibari if he did, but he did it anyway. And I can't forgive him for that."

"That's lame. And kinda weird--like, what'd the Major do to make that happen?"

Then the rest of what Ryohei had said sank in, and Poland sat there blinking. "...Okay, um, like. Back up a sec. 'His boyfriend?'" Was that... you know, allowed and stuff? Did that happen?

Ryohei didn't bother answering Poland's initial question, because he really had no idea. He kind of remembered Yujinn mentioning poison, but had no idea how the Major would have managed that.

"Yeah, Seimei's his boyfriend." Some of his distaste for that fact probably creeps into his voice and his frown deepens. "When I told Hibari why later, he said it didn't matter that Seimei had known about the danger and still done it. And I guess it doesn't matter now. I'm gonna forget about it for Hibari's sake, anyway."

Because he had to live with the fact that Hibari and Seimei were together for as long as that lasted, whether he liked it or not.

"Okay, like, wait." Poland wanted to be sure he had this straight. "So this guy's, um, boyfriend. He like, pissed off the Major? And that's why that whole thing happened? And... he didn't, you know, try to protect him or maybe try not to piss off crazy people anything? That... sounds kinda sketch. Did he apologize and junk?"

"Seimei always says stuff about how he can't protect himself, he needs Hibari to protect him. And I'm not sure, but I think he attacked that guy in the first place because of something the Major did to his brother, Ritsuka."

Ryohei did his best to keep these things straight, but, honestly, the over-complication was part of the reason he was fed up with it all.

"Hold on, hold on--Chryste. This 'Seimei' guy is like, Ritsuka's brother?" This was getting more complicated by the minute, as far as Poland could tell. "Well, I totally wouldn't blame him for going after the Major, after what he did! But if he's all weak or whatever, shouldn't he have, you know, talked to the guy who was protecting him and junk?" He and Liet were just partners, and Liet got pretty freaked if Poland fought without telling him about it.

Ryohei shrugged. "I don't really understand anything that guy does. But if you know something you're going to do might get other people hurt, you extremely shouldn't do it!"

"I don't know. I mean, okay, duh, you should try not to get people hurt, but like, I went after the Major for what he did to Ritsuka, and he's like, just a friend and stuff. If it were my brother, I'd be pretty pissed."

Ryohei nodded. He knew too well how he would have reacted if it had been his sister.

"Yeah. You're extremely right. And Hibari's right that it doesn't matter now. And I'm not gonna stay mad at him about it, because we're both men and we're both close to Hibari, so it needs to be in the past."

That isn't all of what's bothering him though, as evidenced by the way he continues to fidget.

"Well, that's cool of you." Poland got the table to give him a mug of herbal tea, sipping at it for a moment. "Sounds like you're, y'know, like, being the bigger man and stuff.

"So what's actually bugging you?"

"Lots of things. But I can deal with most of it, like how Hibari likes Seimei."

Ryohei frowned, thinking. "Seimei said something to me after I hit him and it shouldn't still bother me, but it does to the extreme."

Poland tilted his head curiously, crossing his legs at the ankle. "People can like, say all kinds of things when they're pissed off, and most people get pretty pissed when you punch them. Like, what'd he say?"

The getting pissed when you punch them thing wasn't really something Ryohei understood. But that was beside the point. He grimaced as he tried to remember the whole exchange.

"...He asked me if I'd kill someone, and I told him only if it was to protect my family. Then he asked what I'd do if I had no strength and I said that would never happen to the extreme!" He paused, and then spoke slowly, recalling Seimei's words as accurately as he could. "And then he said that he hopes I suffer a lot and have to eat my words."

"For real? Like, over the top, much?" Poland blinked, just not quite sure what to say to that. "You're... like, not overstating it or anything?"

Ryohei shook his head. "I mean, I don't think he's going to do anything himself. He's not the kind of guy who usually does stuff to people directly."

"Still," Poland insisted, "who says that? And like, what do you mean, directly? You think he'll like, send someone after you? That's pretty messed." He took a sip of his tea.

"I don't really get it," Ryohei admitted.

"Then he left after Hibari's sight came back, but he didn't explain why, or tell Hibari where he was going. So Hibari didn't sleep for a few days and eventually came back to my room to stay."

That didn't make any sense at all to Poland. He made a face at Ryohei over the edge of his mug.

"Sounds like a totally lame boyfriend to me," he muttered. "Seriously? When Liet got hurt, I like, stayed next to him for three days until he woke up. This Seimei guy just like, takes off without a word?"

"Yeah. Because Hibari glared at him when he noticed I hit him." He shrugged. "Glared at me, too. Because even if he thinks it was uncalled for, he knows I wouldn't to it for no reason. So Seimei felt threatened and left..."

He looked up at Poland. "Hibari showed me their conversation about it later, that's how I know."

Setting his mug down on the table, Poland leaned back in his chair and looked up at Ryohei. "Felt threatened 'cause your friend was pissed at him, or like, 'cause he thought you might punch him again? I mean, I guess if you only hit him once, that's pretty lame either way, but..."

Somehow, he felt like there was something he was missing. Maybe if he remembered what they'd been talking about the night they met...
