• mikey's the type to wait outside her class during lunch to eat with kazua
• whenever kazua makes him feel giddy, he hogs all the chores in the house and does them all day with a big smile on his face
• "kazu-neesan should give him butterflies often."
• "ah, thank you, kazua-chan! i don't have to do the laundry!"• after finding out that kazua's still ah honor awardee through college, he'll try really hard to get in the honors list, too, just for her to be proud
• "i'll get in the honor list, you'll see!"
• "i'm already proud of the effort you're showing, manji. don't push yourself too much, yeah?"• mikey's definitely the "wear what you want. i can fight." type and i love it
• he would ask mitsuya and draken for help in studying, but end up dozing off every time mitsuya begins a long lecture
• "so that's why we ne—draken, wake him up."
• "oi, mikey. i thought you want to get in the honor's list to win that bet you made with kaz."
• "honors list can wait, ken-chin. i'm sleepy."• mikey would come over kazua's house just to make homework together
• "sazu, help meeeeeee."
• "am i doing this right?"

• "what do you want me to make next?"• he loves forehead and wrist kisses. specifically, he likes kissing below the string wrapped around her wrist
• whenever he sleeps over kazua's house, he makes sure that she falls asleep first. he doesn't want her to be kept up late because of her own nightmares and fears.
• if someone confesses to kazua, he wouldn't really care much. though, he peppers her with kisses and hug her tightly when they get home.
• he definitely feels so loved whenever kazua would take his hand in front of the guy, intertwine their fingers, and raise it to show them
• "no thanks. i got all that i want here with me already."
• "hold on." kazua effortlessly raises mikey from the floor to show to the guy. "thought you didn't see him 'cuz he's a bit short."• if someone confesses to him, he flat out rejects them.

• "wait, isn't himiko dating tenruji?"
• "she broke up with tenruji last month. her new boyfriend's mako, but here's the thing!"
• "what? what?"
• "the guy she made out with yesterday was mako's best friend!"
• "oh, shit!"
• "remember usagi?"
• "usagi from the business department?"
• "no, usagi from the engineering department. she always talked about being a gang leader's little sister or something."
• "is she looking for trouble, or what? i wouldn't want emma to do that. she'll be in danger."
• "i know, right? well, an upperclassman is actually part of a gang right now and asked her who her brother was. girly was exposed when it turned out that she didn't even have a brother and the name she mentioned was the upperclassman's commander."
• "damn, did it reach the commander, though?"
• "i was getting there. he was at the school gate earlier and confronted her. i think he was gonna take her somewhere, but her friends luckily stopped and escaped."
• "he's probably bad news if he went as far as going to the university. wait, did he see you somehow?"
• "...would you look at that?! i should finish my homewo—"
• "sazu,"
• "he did, and he recognized me. he asked if you're still leading a gang, but i knocked his tooth out before he could finish and left."
• "i don't know if i should be proud, or be concerned that he probably has you on his revenge list."• when he finds out that some students are daring to mock or bully kazua, he doesn't hesitate to intervene
• he doesn't kick them down the ground, though. kazua will get mad at him.
• "you better stay away from her or i'll—"
• "manji, that's enough. let's go home."
• "coming, my love~"• he thinks about his future with her A LOT
• "proposing on top of a lighthouse is nice. we'll be alone and the sea is there. more chances of her saying yes."
• "we should have a family dog and name him nichi."
• "you did not just name our family dog nichi. that's shinichiro-niisan's nickname."
• "but he reminds me a bit of a puppy. don't you think so?"
• "...i mean, you're not wrong."• he loves it when kazua wears his clothes.
• "you look so small in my clothes, love! ah, wear them everyday!"
• "i have clothes bigger than yours, hun."
• "but you're cuter in my clothes! let's binge and cuddle~"• kazua's the one with the black card and she'd give it to mikey to treat himself whenever, but he ends up buying for both of them at the end of the day.
• "manji, why's the cabinet filled with dorayaki?"
• "oh, remember when you told me to buy whatever i want? i got us twelve dozens!"
• "...are you the one who filled the fridge with mint choco ice cream tubs?"
• "yep! you always need a tub or two, anyway!"• he ships their kid with takemichi's and hina's.
• "sazu, we should enroll kaji in himechi's school!"
