Sake and Sweat: Yakuza Boy One Shots, Fluff and Scenarios (ON HOLD)

The Talk (Yuji and Maggie)

Maggie was distressed.

Her hands came up to massage her temples and she had a thousand things running through her head at once. The notebook in her hand weighed down heavily in her lap. With trembling hands, she opened the notebook again and stared, wide eyed at the images before her. Each drawing held more detail than the next and she sighed. She had failed as a mother...

Maggie dragged herself from her spot on her son's bed and walked quickly down the stairs in search of her husband. Her chest heaved up and down quickly and when she spotted him, she gave him a look he'd never seen before. He didn't get the chance to say anything before Maggie dropped the notebook in his lap as if it burned her to even touch it. Yuji was very confused until he flipped through the notebook and clenched his eyes tightly. He closed to notebook quickly and turned to his wife that refused to look at him.

"I feel... disgusting... He must have seen us do it.. or .. or!" Maggie said quickly, throwing her hands up in defeat.

Yuji stood from his seated position and tried to calm his wife but she jerked away from him and shook her head.

"What have we done, Yuji? What have we done to our son?"
She whispered sadly.

Yuji didn't know which answer she was looking for but he had to diffuse the situation.
"We've done everything that we could and have raised our children to the best of our ability. We have done nothing. I'm proud of all of our children especially my son. He's a young man going through puberty. Let's not jump to conclusions."

Maggie gave him an angry look.
"You're proud of this?! Is that what you're telling me right now, Yuji?!"

Yuji sighed.
"That is not what I said, Maggie. Do not put words in my mouth."

Maggie scoffed.
"Our son is drawing lewd pictures of that young lady! He's drawing her in ways similar to the way we make love. This is wrong. This is sick. I'm going to have a talk with him when he gets home from school today and-!"

Yuji shook his head and cradled her face in his hands.
"I will speak with him. I will handle it."

Maggie shook her head.
"No, I'm his mother and I will handle this."

Yuji's eyebrow rose.
"And I am his father. You're scared, Maggie. I want you to relax and trust that I can take care of this."

Maggie still didn't look convinced and Yuji pulled her into his chest, holding her there.

"We're great parents... I'm a better father than my own and you are the mother of three beautiful children. Ryeo is my pride and joy. I will speak with him. Trust me as you have all these years..."

Maggie nodded.
"Ok. I trust you, honey..."

Yuji kissed her lips and made his way out of the room in search of the kitchen so that he could make her a hot cup of tea for her nerves.

Yuji had an idea of what he would say to their son.
