ON A DATE?! Majima freezes at that suggestion, not sure if he should fight or flee. Yeah, he loves Kiryu alright, but he can't say it is anything like that. Taking him on a date is totally out of the question. Kiryu definitely deserves love and dates and attention and all, but he deserves it from someone better, someone even a little bit good, not the flaming dumpster that is Majima.
His face is all red, and it probably isn't the alcohol as he tries to casually wave the suggestion off, rolling his eyes and scoffing. "Ain't no way!" That's not a 'no, I don't want to' or anything, just an observance of facts! He's down horrendously bad for Kiryu, but what would something like that even look like? "Guys like me don't go on no dates, and we sure as shit don't get no happy endings", he just can't help but say. He's just kind of resigned to the fact. Besides, he's got it pretty good anyway, right? Saejima and Daigo still hang out with him, and Kiryu is at least seeking treatment now. That's the best ending he can think of for himself. He's no yakuza anymore, and can just live out the rest of his life as like.... a fisherman, when he feels like working.
"I consider it a blessin' that I ain't gotta ride out old age behind bars. Besides, Kiryu-chan's gotta have better prospects than an old dog like me." Someone like him? Good looking, good natured, strong and convicted. He just goes around helping everyone he meets, anyone would be lucky to have him. Not like Majima, who has spent most of his life scamming or beating folks.
