Toman's Little Sister

30 | Past to Present

So, uh, manga spoilers in this chapter and beyond? I don't know, I'm a manga reader-

Mikey opened the door to his house and you slowly stepped inside, immediately being greeted by a big hug from Emma. "I said you could talk to us about anything! Punching at a punching bag isn't going to make things better."

You nodded and patted her back with a soft smile. "Right. Thank you." And you made your way to the guest room.

You plopped down on a bean bag, looking up at your bulletin board above your mattress that you normally hid when you weren't in the room.

Papers, strings, thumbtacks, and photos were scattered across the cork covered wood, your thoughts quickly scribbled on notepads and stuck onto different photos.

"There are two people that need to join this gang first..." You mumbled. "...to confirm this." And you removed one thumbtack and made two pieces of paper fall to the floor.

You sighed and lied back on your mattress, staring at your ceiling in silence for a few minutes.

You turned to your bulleting board and eyed a picture of Kisaki, ripped once or twice and taped back together. You sat up and tilted your head, his cold eyes staring back at you.

"What is going on in his brain...?"

Your phone rang and you turned it on, seeing a half familiar phone number. You took a deep breath. Turn it off...

"Hey, hey, hey, what can I do for you?"

"Hey Y/N."

"Oh, Mitchy! What's up?"

"Well... I was headed to Hina's house to.. uh, you know."

"Ah, okay. Did you want to meet up?"

"Yeah, I was hoping you could go back with me."

"Sure thing. Hina's house, you said?"

"Yeah."

You swung on your coat on, holding your phone between your shoulder and your ear. "Let's meet up at the east corner, alright? Bye."

You hung up and sighed. Head up, smile, shoulders back, everything's normal.

"Hey, Emma-chan, I meeting up with a friend, so see you?" She looked up and nodded. "See you! Have fun."

You walked out and felt the autumn breeze blow in your face, a sense of comfort falling over you while you stuck your hands in your pockets.

"Y/N-chin!"

"Hm?" You looked behind you and saw Mikey running after you with a scarf. "It's cold. Here."

He wrapped it around your neck and adjusted it so it wasn't too tight. "Bye bye!" He waved with a smile and you walked off, waving back.

You made a popping noise with your mouth, looking at the clouds. That one looks a bit like a star. Or I'm going crazy. Probably the latter.

"Y/N-chan!"

"Mitchy!" You jogged over. "How have you been doing for the passed few weeks?"

"I've been doing fine. But you're doing a lot better than I thought you would be."

You let out an awkward laugh, pulling at Mikey's scarf so it wasn't too tight around your neck. "Well, uh, you're going to Naoto, right?"

"Yeah."

You walked passed him and up the apartment complex, stopping in front of Hina's front door. "Probably best for me to leave now." You held out your hand and Takemichi put his wrist in yours. "You're the first division commander now, right?" You smiled and saluted with two fingers. "Live up to the name."
