Lying is a Sin, A Sin Hanagaki Takemichi Commits Too Often

The Fallen Curl With Yuzuha - The Fifth Promise

Notes:

I also just want to say:

So in this universe, there obviously is no time travelling. There were gangs but it was nowhere near as serious, it was really just kids having fun and getting into little fights every so often. So no murder attempts or betrayal or anything like that. Just fun and a little bit of banter.

"Come oooooon Takemichi! Let me see a picture of the cake!" Senju whined, hanging off his arm.

"He already told you, it's a surprise. You'll see it tomorrow anyway, so stop being nosy," Yuzuha poked her wife with her chopstick, Senju in turn stuck out her tongue. Senju looked up at him with puppy eyes and a pout, her hands put together in the praying position.

"Pretty please Takemichi?" She batted her long eyelashes a few times for flair.

Takemichi snorted, "No Senju. It's supposed to be a surprise.

"Agruiegdfouewbfouewgfobviu," she really was quite so dramatic as she crumpled to the floor and rolled around grumbling about how she wanted to see the cake.

Yuzuha smiled apologetically at him, "Sorry 'bout her. She's not the most patient person."

"It's alright Yuzuha-chan. Um, thanks for letting me stay the night. I'll be leaving early in the morning just to make sure the cake gets to the venue alright and then I'll be back," he explained.

"All good, try not to pull your back out or anything while lifting the cake," she joked, kicking Senju lighting on the side who was still on the floor.

"Ah don't worry about that, I have strong hands helping me. Draken-kun and the twins."

"They get to see the cake before me?!" Senju screeched from the floor, fake tears streaming down her face, you'd think you were watching some Shakespeare play right now.

"Ah no Senju, the cake is all boxed up, so none of them will see it."

She sighed, relieved. She really got worked up over sweet things, she was kinda like Mikey. But never say that out loud, the two for some reason can't stand being in the same room as each other without going off at each other.

"I think I'm gonna go to bed, big day tomorrow," Takemichi announced.

"Ah, I'll get you a futon, Senju, sweetie, get the fuck up."

"Yes ma'am," Senju jumped up and did a flip because why not.

Today was the big day. And there was so much to do. Takemichi woke early and headed to the bakery. He wanted to ensure everything was packaged properly so it wouldn't be damaged on the drive from the bakery to the venue. He trusted Souya's driving, Nahoya's...not so much. The twins had been kind enough to lend their van to move the cake, but this thing was massive. So that's why Draken was called in, because they needed real muscle. Takemichi was sure that Mikey would have whined saying 'I'm stronger than any of them', but right now, he kind of wanted to avoid Mikey. Not obviously, but...enough so Mikey doesn't use his crazy x-ray stare and figure out something is wrong with him. He realised that he hadn't seen Mikey much lately, it was strange, since Mikey would usually drop by the bakery on the daily. He couldn't say he was exactly against it, as more time went on, it became harder and harder to face Mikey.

He hated the feelings, he hated the surge in his throat, he hated the flutter in his stomach, he hated the gravitational pull between the two of them. He knew what all those things meant and he couldn't allow it to happen. He couldn't accept those feelings for Mikey.
