Takemichi had to admit that the more he neared the old hide out in which Bonten would occasionally hang out, the more he started to grow jittery.
His palms were sweating and during the walk he was quite agitated.
And that was starting to annoy you
" Will you pull yourself together!" you eventually snapped " All that fidgeting is working on my nerves"
" Sorry" he apologized and tried to calm himself
Minutes later Takemichi came face to face with a gigantic building that looked abandoned " Were going up" you informed and pointed at one of the floors
It took several stairs to climb before you two arrived at the exact meeting place.
While the black haired tried to regain his breath, you looked at your phone to check the time. You had made it with only 10 minutes to spare.
Sighing you put your device away and took a seat on one the chairs from the old Bowling club
Taking in his surroundings, Takemichi found the place quite eery. This seemed to suit Bonton pretty well. It reflected how the gang was.
Rotten and scary
He went to sit next to you and started to think about what he was going to say to Mikey. Well he already knew. But he tried to find a good way to discus it without having the Bonten leader kill him, if it happened to trigger something
Yet at the same time the raven haired was pretty confident that he wouldn't get hurt. Because he believed that somewhere deep inside that dark cocoon of his, there was still a trace left of the old him.
And that part was waiting to be set free.
With this in mind, Takemichi was determined to make something change. He wanted to help Mikey and reunite him with the others. Because that was his biggest wish.
To have all his friends gathered
" You know you're crazy Takemitchy " The girl suddenly spoke " You finally have reached the future you've been fighting for this entire time and now here you are. Risking your life to see one person."
The boy awkwardly chuckled " I know. But Mikey isn't just anybody. He's a really important friend who helped me change into the person I am today " he stated with admiration
His sincere words tugged the corner of your lips slightly up. It was nice to hear that Mikey had a good influence on him. You also remembered him saying something similar about Takemichi. At how he reminded him of Shinichiro.
However you didn't know if that was a bit to exaggerated. Because in your opinion his brother was way cooler..
Despite not being convinced that the boy would be able to talk some sense into your friend. That didn't stop you in wanting to believe in him. After all he managed to change the future and save everyone. So maybe, just maybe, he could do it.
The sudden vibration of your phone in your pocket made you shift your attention back from your thoughts. Taking a look you saw a text from Sanzu who informed you of their arrival.
" He's here " you stood up and dusted your pants of " I'll go get him "
But as you walked away you couldn't help but feel uneasy. As if letting this meeting happen would lead into something terrible. But despite these red flags, you ignored it and went to go get Mikey
