The formula for the normal Mikaela is quite simple.

Mikael plus Mikaela plus Mika equals Mikaela.

   "Yuuchan, Yuuchan! Look at what i drew!" The six years old Mikaela shouts enthusiastically, a sheet of paper in his hand. Yuuichiro, who is also the same age with the blonde turns to look at him.

    Mikaela presents his drawing, chest puffed out with pride. Yuuichiro beams at him, reaching out to pat his fluffy blonde hair. Mikaela purrs contently, while Yuuichiro praises his work. "That looks really good, Mika!" The raven claims.

   "Guess who i drew." The blonde chants, and Yuuichiro hums thoughtfully. "That blonde boy must be you, right?" The raven guesses correctly, which gets Mikaela to nod. Even though his hair is colored in yellow instead of real blonde. In the drawing, there is another person beside Mikaela with black hair. They are holding hands, and the both of them are smiling sweetly.

   "Well.. The other person can't be me, right?" Yuuichiro tries, but this makes Mikaela frowns deeply before pouting. "Why can't it be you? Of course it is you, Yuuchan!" The blonde claims, whining. Of course it is Yuuichiro, if it is not, then who would it be? Mikaela is only friends with Yuuichiro, after all.

    After getting extremely attached to the raven, Mikaela refuses to speak with the other kids and only stick around Yuuichiro all the time. The raven doesn't seem to mind, and their caretaker in the kindergarten can't force them to be away from each other, too.

    It is also not Mikaela's fault that the kids in the kindergarten are all brats. Even Yuuichiro himself looks like a brat in his eyes at first, he is not lying. Yuuichiro doesn't like smiling, and so the kids doesn't approach him. But Mikaela changes his mind about Yuuichiro when the raven complimented his eyes one day, saying that they are beautiful and as clear as the sky.

Yuuichiro loves the sky.

    Finding that out, there is no doubt that Yuuichiro actually meant the compliment. Mikaela is overjoyed, and not to mention but the blonde loves receiving compliments. Moreover if it is from Yuuichiro. Getting one is not very usual for him, Mikaela's adoptive parents are abusive and they never bat an eye on him. Unless when they are punishing him for something pointless, then yes.

   "Ah, okay okay. Sorry Mika." Yuuichiro sheepishly apologizes, but Mikaela huffs in response before glaring at the raven sulkily. "Say it like you mean it." The blonde mutters, pouting. Yuuichiro sighs, though his lips shows a gentle smile.

   "Alright, alright. I'm really sorry, Mika." Yuuichiro chants, genuinely this time. Mikaela takes a peek at him. "Where is my hugs and kisses?" The blonde asks, making Yuuichiro laugh. "You should have just ask that instead of making me apologize all over again." The raven claims, bug he obliges anyway. He hugs the blonde, squeezing Mikaela's body firmly and kisses his cheek.

   Mikaela giggles happily, and he kisses Yuuichiro's nose in return. The both of them are just minding their own business, until Yuuichiro sees one kid sneakily making his way into the kindergarten store room, which is a little hidden from people's sight. And their caretaker is busy taking care of a kid that suddenly cry because she falls.

   "Hey Mika. I think i saw someone walking into the storage room." Yuuichiro utters, eyes not leaving the storage room's door that is now shut. Mikaela glances to the way Yuuichiro is looking, and blinks blankly. "I thought that room is always locked?" The blonde questions, raising his blonde eyebrow.

   "I know, that's why it's weird! Let's go check." The raven marks, which Mikaela grimace to. "That's not your job, Yuuchan! Let's just tell the caretaker!" The blonde reasons, face scrunching with discomfort and distaste.

   "But he will get in trouble if the caretaker finds out!" Yuuichiro persuades, which Mikaela roll his eyes to. "He deserves it, Yuuchan. There is no way he accidentally stroll into that room when we all know that it is forbidden." Mikaela argues, folding his arms together.

   "But Mikaaa... Everyone should have a second chance! Maybe he will leave if we talk to him?" Yuuichiro insists, and Mikaela can only shakes his head. In the end, he gives in to the raven's wish.

   They both silently sneaks to the storage room and make their way inside. And Yuuichiro is right, there is a kid inside the room. He is playing with a bottle of liquid that smells really nasty. Obnoxious, even.

   "Hey, what are you doing here? Come on, let's get out!" Yuuichiro persuades the kid, but he only scowls at the raven and scoff. "Oh yeah? Then what are you doing here?" The kid asks, tone harsh so he sounds taunting.

   Yuuichiro, being a dork of a kid he is, says "To get you out of course!", making the kid glares at him irritatedly. "You are annoying, Yuuichiro. Leave me alone." The kid says venomously. Mikaela scowls at the kid, annoyed that he is not just rude, but also stubborn.

   Now Yuuichiro seems a little mad too. The raven grimaces lightly, cheeks getting a little pink in fury as he makes his way closer to the boy, his hands on his own hips. "Listen, if you don't want to get out right now, we will all get in trouble." He marks assertively, and this makes the kid gritted his teeth.

    "Shut up!" The kid shouts. It all happen too fast. The boy swings his arm, and whatever inside the bottle he is holding splashes on Yuuichiro's face. Mikaela's eyes widen, and on the same second, Yuuichiro cries out.

   "Yuuchan!" Mikaela shouts in horror. He quickly gets Yuuichiro whose eyes is closed, writhing pathetically while trying to rub the liquid away from his eyes. "It burns, it burns!" The raven sobs, tears falling from his eyes. Mikaela suddenly recognize what the liquid is as its horrible smell greets his nose harshly.

It's bleach.

   "Sayuri oneesan!" Mikaela calls out desperately, cradling Yuuichiro while his face scrunch up in distress. Almost immediately, their caretaker come to get them. Yuuichiro whimpers helplessly when Sayuri approaches them. "What happened?!" She asks with concern, taking Yuuichiro away from Mikaela.

   "I think bleach got into his eyes!" Mikaela explains, panicked. Without further questioning, Sayuri brings the raven out of the room and Mikaela follows her. Before getting out however, he turns around to send a dirty glare at the kid who is at fault.

   The boy is as shocked as they were, stunned at his place and not knowing what to do. Slowly, the boy staggers up and moves to reach Mikaela. "I-i'm sorry." The boy stutters with regret, but Mikaela continues to glare at him. "Save it." The blonde spats. "I will not forgive you for hurting Yuuchan." And with that, Mikaela leaves. Not without slamming the storage room door in front of the boy's face, though.

     After a while of splashing water into Yuuichiro's green eyes to remove the bleach, which Mikaela assures is not the best part of the raven's life, Yuuichiro is finally fine. They checked with a doctor, and Yuuichiro's eyes is not damaged or anything thankfully.

   Mikaela is still not pleased, because even on the next day, Yuuichiro's scleras are still red. The raven, of course assures Mikaela that he is fine. The raven is too nice for his own good, forgiving the boy without wasting a second.

    The raven even get worried when the kid suddenly pukes nonstop after lunch, that they have to send him to the hospital. "Mika, are you feeling fine? Oh my god, what if something got into our food, too?" Yuuichiro exaggerates worriedly, but Mikaela only smiles at him.

  "I feel fine. You are okay too, right? I think he is just unfortunate. Or maybe he ate something wrong from his house, who knows." Mikaela reasons, which Yuuichiro exhales to. "Hmm, yeah maybe you are right." Yuuichiro says.

Mikaela smiles sweetly.
