All the captains and the vise captains of Toman decided to go to visit the cafe that Hina started working at. When they entered the cafe, they were met with a shocked Hina greeting them. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked, hugging Takemichi. "To show support to my favorite girl," Takemichi answered, kissing her cheek and temple. "Also because we're hungry," Mikey added. "Of course you are, Mikey. I'll seat you in my work bestie's section. She's an absolute sweetheart.". With that, she grabbed their menus and sat them at the biggest table in the cafe. It was slow at the moment so there was no wait. Hina got their drink order and headed to the back. The guys were chatting as they waited when Hina returned with half of their drinks and another girl with the other drinks. "Hello, My name is Esmeralda. I'll be serving you today," the girl spoke softly, gaining the guys' attention. She was short and chubby with the sweetest smile. "Take good care of her, guys, or I'll beat you up," Hina said jokingly, but the guys knew she was serious. As Esmeralda took their order, Draken kept wondering where he has seen her. There were not a lot of girls of her race in this area so it should not be difficult to figure it out. She also seemed to get flustered every time they locked eyes, so maybe she was familiar with who he was as well. He was talking with Mitsuya when he heard some commotion and looked to see it was some punks throwing a fit at Esmeralda; who was trying to calm them down. "Do you not understand, Bitch. We just asked if you lived around here.". "I understand that Sir. But that is not information I wish to disclose.". "No one was going to mess with you, fat bitch.". "What does where she lives have to do with the likes of you asswipes?". The punks and Esmeralda looked up to see Draken towering over them. "Who the hell are you? Her boyfriend?". Draken chose to ignore them and focus on her. "Are you okay? Did they put their hands on you?". "No. I'm fine.". "Okay. Take a moment if you need to. I'll take care of these assholes.". Esmeralda nodded and walked away to the back, Hina following. When they were gone, Draken dragged one punk by his head to the exit as the others followed; saying "Let's take this outside.". He came back in five minutes without a scratch on him to finish his meal with the others. When they were done paying, they made their way to the door; wishing farewell to Hina. Before he could leave, Esmeralda bowed to Draken, thanking him. Draken sighed as he lifted the girl's head with his fingers. "Next time assholes like them give you problems, ask Hina to shoot me a text. I'll deal with them.". And with that, he left the cafe.
Draken was walking around the campus of his school when he heard sobbing in one of the empty classrooms. Curiosity compelled him to open the door and the room was somewhat empty. He followed the cries to the teacher's desk at the front and walked behind it. He crouched down to see it was Esmeralda crying and grabbing herself. That's when it clicked where he has seen her. She was an underclassman in class 2- D who mainly kept to herself and out of trouble. On that note, he sat down and tapped at the girl's leg to get her attention. Esmeralda gasped upon seeing Draken in front of her; taking out her earbuds. "What happened?". She shook her head as her body started shaking again. "Permission to touch you?". She nodded and Draken pulled her into his arms, removing his jacket to put it over her body. "Cry as much as you want or sleep. I'm not leaving until I know you're okay.". When he said that, Esmeralda cried more while hugging the taller male and at some point fell asleep.
