SANO MANJIRO (MIKEY)

"manjiro look! there's lightning!" you exclaim, grabbing his sleeve and pulling him to the window.

with a slightly puzzled expression, he looks out the window with you. the thunder lowly rumbles, like a calm before a storm. perhaps in this situation, that simile stands true. after a couple seconds of watching carefully, a bolt streaks across the sky.

you gasp while mikey's eyes widen slightly, a childish gleam reflecting in his eyes.

"1...2...3...4..." mikey begins counting.

ears anticipating the next roar of thunder, the sound can be heard once mikey reaches 7.

"it's 7 miles away." mikey states, a small smile on his face.

you can't help but reciprocate the upturn of his lips, a small giggle erupting at the child-like antic. you turn back to the window, hearing the rain pick up and seeing the droplets racing down the glass pane. it's silent between you two; a content silence with only the sound of the thunder claps to fill your ears.

"you know, my big bro and i used to count the thunder like that and then race it back home. we'd be soaked by the time we got home, but we always won. i guess that was his way of getting me to not fear thunderstorms." mikey chuckles at the fond memory.

"that sounds fun, manjiro." you comment softly.

"it was." he replies with a gentle gaze.

after a few seconds of silence pass, mikey whispers barely audibly, "thank you for being here with me."

the quiet sentiment did not go unnoticed by you, though you worry your ears are playing tricks on you. did you actually hear that? it wasn't the words of a ghost, or your own inner monologue, was it?

"what'd you say, 'jiro?" you ask, turning your head towards him.

he keeps his eyes peering out the window, though his attention remains on the words he uttered. he can't help but think how truly lucky he is that you're able to be here with him, despite the shit going on around you two. he feels that being around him is like a thunderstorm, it can be quite disastrous. he worries that one day you'll leave him, whether it's willingly or not. he knows that he's surrounded by danger because of who he is, but that never seemed to deter you from being near him. it leaves him in awe, in all honesty. but, he does treasure every second spent with you, because there's really no one else out there that makes him feel as enamored as you do.

he turns to you with a closed-eyed smile, the one that melts away your worries every time you see it; the signature mikey grin. instead of repeating what he had said earlier, mikey decides that perhaps it's better to be carried away with the shifting storm. he reaches his hand up and pokes your forehead, taking you slightly by surprise.

"come on love, the taikyaki's getting cold." he says, grabbing your hand and leading you away from the window.

though the sky remains grey and cloudy, one thing remains clear to mikey; as long as you're here with him, he'll be able to weather any storm.

MATSUNO CHIFUYU

"y/n, you gotta see this!" chifuyu grins, ushering you to the window.

"okay, okay, chifuyu!" you laugh at your rather excited boyfriend.

you stand in front of the window with him right next to you, his face lighting up like a reflection of the dark sky. he points at the lightning, asking you like a giddy child if you saw it. you nod your head with a small laugh, happily taking in this child-like side of chifuyu that he reserves mainly for you.
