Hajime Kokonoi | Tokyo Revengers

『T』『w』『e』『l』『v』『e』

"Koko, you'd be dating an ex cop." You say, finally turning to look at him.

"I'm prepared for that. I'm prepared for any hit I'd take for it." He makes eye contact and he looks on the verge of tears.

"Koko, I'm not sure if a relationship between us could even work. You are aware that I can't leave Bonten or else I'm dead. You hold my life in your hand, able to end it on any whim you have" You spat out, starting to think rapidly.

"Wrong, if you want out, I'd protect you so you can get out. I'd give you the money to get out. I would never do that to you! I'm not that impulsive! Just let me love you!" He says, as a tears start rolling from both of you.

Finally, you are able to speak, "Koko, it's dangerous, for both of us. I'm not sure if I'm even mentally ready for a relationship."

"Why didn't I consider that? I never said it had to be a public relationship." He mutters, completely disconnected from what you had said.

"It doesn't need to be a public relationship, but I didn't think you'd want a private relationship." You say as he finally looks at you.

"How about we just simmer on the thought? It's the best thing we can do right now. Just think it through please _____. I need to get going soon." He says as he gets up with his cleared plate and walks over to the sink, promptly doing his dishes. You sit there, half shocked and half thinking about it. Your boss, who can kill you if he wants to, wants to be with you. Wants to love you. It's a lot to handle.

"Are you finished with your pancakes?" He says, finally breaking you out of your daze.

"Yes, thank you for breakfast." You say flatly.

"Alright" he says as he grabs the plate and puts it in the sink.

"Dishes are cleaned, I'm heading out, please think it over _____. I will wait forever if that's how long it takes for your answer." He says, throwing on his coat and walking out.

'I wish I had Mitsuya's number, I need to talk to someone' you think to yourself.

You decide to grab coffee and go to the library to think it over.

At the library, you grab a random book, some sci-fi book, but your not reading for the story. Just to distract yourself. All you can think about is Koko. Koko and all that he had said, yet you wish he said more. He didn't tell you anything on why you. It stressed you out.

"Didn't know you liked reading either, I really don't know you at all huh?" You hear. You turn to where you heard it and saw Mitsuya.

"Just the guy I want to talk to!" You say a bit too loud, earning a glare from someone nearby. You close the book and walk over to Mitsuya.

"Can we walk and talk, it's a heavy subject?" You ask, and he nods.

You two walk around the library as you explain the last 24 hours to him.

"Now I see what you mean by heavy topic." He says, looking for what to say next.

"Just don't tell anyone I told you that okay?" You ask, because you don't want to ruin either of your reputations.

"Lips seeled _____. But I'm curious on one part. What do you plan on doing?" He stops to look at you.

"I don't know. I like him too, but I don't want to hurt him or his reputation. I'm also still unsure where my trust lies" you say, guilt written all over your face.

"I understand that. Here, I never gave you my number, here, in case you need or want to reach me." He says, handing you a small slip of paper.

"Thank you Mitsuya-San." You say, bowing your head.

"No formalities needed, we are the same age I believe." He says.

"Oh really? Never would have guessed." You say as you wave and start walking away.

You want to talk to him longer, you don't want to be stuck alone with your thoughts. But nonetheless, you part ways.

It's already 4PM, you spent a lot of time in the library and with Mitsuya. Right now you are just walking home, when you see a man harassing a woman. The man is stumbling around, probably drunk, and is trying to land hits on the woman.

"Oi! Douchebag, what are you trying to do to her!" You yell down the alley.

"Stay -hic out of -hic my business" he says, stumbling towards you.

"Ma'am, do you want my help?" You say, looking over the man's shoulder to see her cowering, but you see her do a small, subtle nod.

"Sir you have 3 seconds to scram, or else I will have to use force." You say, police school starts coming back.

"What you gon -hic do? You don't look -hic like a threat." He says, grabbing a glass beer bottle, smashing it on a wall.

You charge at the man, redirecting the hand with the bottle. You bring your knee up straight into his stomach. He swings the bottle, creating a cut on your cheek. You kick his hand with the bottle to make him drop it, which he did. He bends down to grab it, but you take the opportunity to kick his crotch and force his head to the ground.

"Ma'am get out of here, please be safe." You say, as she timidly grabs her purse and runs.

You grab his hair and pull his head up, with your mouth next to his ear, you speak "Scum need to learn they're god damn lesson, but you're even lower than scum, are you capable of even learning?!" You say as you drop his head down.

'god damnit, I got my hands dirty, whatever, I'm technically in a gang now' you think to yourself as you resume your walk home.

You finally get home and see something odd on your doorstep.

A/N I made a longer chapter due to my cruelty of the cliffhanger, but it was getting to long this chapter. Hope you enjoyed reading!
