It was getting late and Jigen sat silently on Lupin's couch, leaned back with a cigarette in his mouth. He took a pull from it, removing the cigarette from his lips with elegant, rough fingers before blowing out the curling smoke with a sigh.
"I don't see what makes you like her so much," he lightly grumbled to Lupin who was sitting nearby, "A woman like that? Chit."
His cigarette returned to it's place and he grit his teeth, almost chopping it in half in his sour mood.

Lupin looked over to his friend, noticing his dark eyebrows knitted in disgruntlement. There was a certain edge about Jigen that Lupin had come to accept as normal, but it seemed as though he was in a worse mood than usual. Lupin decided to lighten the mood, stroking his sideburns with his thumb and index finger, looking up to the ceiling with an arched eyebrow.
"My, my, Jigen. If I didn't know better, I would say you were jealous."

"She's just bad for you; to much trouble," Jigen replied, removing his cigarette and putting it out in the ashtray with a bit more force then was needed. The fact that he had stopped smoking just showed how agitated he was, considering he only smoked when he was relaxed. He looked at his partner, his mouth pressed into a hard, unsatisfied line.
"You pay her to much attention and she always stabs you in the back," he continued, almost heatedly, as if this tirade had been building for a long time, "And yet every time she puckers her lips at you you go running like a lovesick fool. You're so love blind you can't see that you're better off without her."
(Nice avatar by the way. <3 )

Lupin noticed Jigen put out his cigarette, continuously scrunching it into the ashtray despite that it was already put out. This was a good indicator of how annoyed Jigen was, and this time Lupin could not shake it off with a joke; realizing this made Lupin want to act all the more foolish to annoy the sharp-shooter. Although he wouldn't show it, Jigen's twisted cigarette was a parallel to how Lupin felt when listening to his partner berate his sweet Fujicakes. Even though he wanted to shoot back with an insult towards Jigen-or just shoot him with his Luger- he kept his poise calm, pretending to readjust his tie before looking over to his scowling friend.
"Just because one woman stabbed you in the back years ago does not make you an expert on the female gender. And, to add, I am not, 'love blind', Jigen. I am a gentlemen. Remember my nickname? 'The Gentlemen Thief'. How much of a gentlemen would I be if I treated her like, oh I don't know, how you treat her? This is why you are not called, "The Gentlemen Gunman'."
(thank you <3)

"It wasn't just one and you know it," Jigen said sourly, deciding to steer away from the topic of Fujiko. He knew Lupin would never listen to reason, and besides, the thief was such a womanizer that he wouldn't understand. Once, long ago, Jigen had fallen for women, women who needed help, needed protection, needed love, but if they didn't betray him in someway they were murdered, right in front of his eyes.
Despite his best efforts, they always died, and it hurt. It hurt like he had been shot himself.
"I never wanted to be the gentleman of anything," he said, a bit softer, "I just...one of these days you'll get hurt to, Lupin sansei, and it will crush you."
With that he stood, putting his hands in his pockets and wanting to take a walk and forget everything.

Lupin looked up at his partner. Normally his response would have been to continue his banter, teasing Jigen some more. However, there was a look in Jigen's eyes that Lupin was only familiar with when he had discussed the women in his life.
Lupin thought back to when Jigen had explained his track record with women, so long ago. They had been sharing drinks, discussing everything- normally Jigen and Goemon were the ones who spent their nights together having night long talks about their experiences, and Lupin was happy to have this moment with his friend. The talk had taken a dark turn as Lupin asked about a woman who was trying to chat with Jigen at the coffee shop earlier, saying "she sure seemed like your type..."
Jigen had taken a long drag on his cigarette, exhaling a long, thick cloud of smoke.
"Yes, I certainly do seem to have a type, don't I?"
Lupin had remembered being confused at the aggressive way Jigen had made this statement, but Jigen filled in the gaps for him almost immediately.
"There's two types of women in this world, Lupin. The ones that break your heart, and the ones who's hearts stop beating. Both are painful, and I don't want to find out which one some coffee shop waitress will end up being."
Lupin snapped back to the present, still noticing Jigen's morose stance. He decided to drop the chiding comments, even if they were in defense of Fujiko, and tried to cheer his friend up.
"Ok, buddy, so women are terrible. Who needs them, huh? It's just you and me here tonight."
