Return The Favour

In Dojo

"Oh, I have an idea," Mikey said suddenly, from looking up at the sky, he look back at Takemichi.

"Hmm, what is it?" Takemichi as well look at Mikey.

"Wanna go to dojo with me?" Mikey ask at Takemichi.

Takemichi blink when Mikey ask him that, "Sure, why not," He reply in short sentence.

"Alright, let's go!"

"You know, my grandpa own this dojo," said Mikey cheerfully at Takemichi.

"That's cool," Takemichi said in a low voice.

Mikey heard Takemichi's compliment, he grin from ear to ear, Takemichi often compliment something with sarcastic. This is first time he heard compliment without sarcastic from Takemichi. He then open the door and drag Takemichi inside the dojo. He didn't bother to hide his excitement to show Takemichi inside.

"Yo, grandpa," Mikey greet his grandfather that are teaching the children dojo.

"Oh, Manjiro, what are you doing here?" His grandfather ask.

"Nothing, I just want to show Takemichy around the dojo," Mikey said, pushing his right hand lightly behind Takemichi so that he step in front a bit.

"Nice to meet you," Takemichi give a bow as he greet Mikey's grandfather.

"Oh, a new friend," his grandfather start to walk toward Mikey and Takemichi.

"Yeah, his name is Takemichi but I call him Takemichy, his an interesting person,"

"Oh is that so, then nice to meet you too, I'm Manjiro's grandfather,"

Takemichi nod after Mikey's grandfather introduce himself.

"Thank you for taking care of him, it must be hard to handle him,"

"No problem, I'm getting used to it already,"

"Why do I feel like you two talking as if I'm an troublemaker," Mikey said, giving an slight offended face.

"Hmm, what are you talking about, Manjiro? I never said anything about you being a troublemaker," his grandfather said.

Takemichi heard it and understood what does he mean by that, Takemichi then nod his head followed by hum from his mouth.

"Really?" Mikey ask again to comform, raising his eye brow.

Both Takemichi and Mikey's grandfather nod in agreement.

"Oh alright then, c'mon Takemichy, let's watch them learning," Mikey once again drag Takemichi somewhere to avoid disturbing the other.

Takemichi and Mikey are sitting on the floor as they watch the children learn.

"Ne ne Takemichi, where do you learn on how to fight?"

Takemichi look at Mikey, he tilt his head to the side and gave an hum in confusion as well as he's face.

"I mean like, you can fight right,"

"Not really, to be honest,"

This time Mikey the one who hum in confusion.

"I don't have anyone who teach me, I guess you could say that I learnt it by myself, beside in most of fight I can't possibly hit that hard, so I would hit them at their vatil point to knock them out,"

"Uwah, I don't know if this is the longest sentence I ever heard from you," he chuckled as he joke.

"But that's amazing,"

"Huh?"

"Even if you're not strong enough to hit people but you know how to knock them out,"

"Oh, hmm, thanks," Takemichi thanks Mikey in a low voice, Takemichi isn't used to when people compliment him.

"But what about the guy on the other day, the one who bully the cat, how do you did that?"

"Oh, hmm, his head actually bleed from impact when his head hit the ground,"

"Ehhh,"

"You could say that, I was supposed to make him to felt a bit dizzy, but then his head hit the ground too hard, that's why his bleeding,"

"But you still hit him hard enough that make him dizzy,"

"Depends if my strength is strong enough,"

"Ohhh, what an interesting person you are,"

Both Mikey and Takemichi watch the children learnt silently, until Mikey broke the silence between them.

"Ne Takemichi, do you mind if you could land me you're hand for moment,"

"Eh," Takemichi at first confuse, but he give him anyway.

Mikey look at Takemichi's left hand, he take his hand that Takemichi offer, he start to caressing Takemichi's left palm slowly as he look carefully at his hand.

Mikey really lock his eyes on Takemichi's hand, Takemichi's hand are smaller compare to Mikey's, Mikey might be shorter then him but their body is different, Mikey has workout his body, while Takemichi isn't.

'So small,' Mikey thought as he still caressing Takemichi's hand.

I'm sorry if there any grammar mistake.

Also my apologies for keep making you guys waiting.
