HE'S MINE

096

"Let's call Sanzu here," smiley announced and Mikey looked around, gulping and sweating in this cold weather.

"What if he has the nudes and he leaks them when he finds out that we confronting him?" he made sense, he stared blankly in the eyes of Smiley, it was weird the way they look at each other.

"I saw the video," I uttered to Smiley, he frowned and watched my face to understand what did I see in the video.

Mikey pulled his phone out of his pocket and showed it to him.

"Doesn't the video look edited, there are too many cuts." he questioned, and noticed it more keenly. Obviously, I was too scared to focus on everything in my mind, but he was pretty good with investigations.

"What do you mean? My brother knows nothing about editing." Mikey hurriedly defended his brother.

"Who gave you the video?" he inquired, handing him his phone back, but not wanting to look at his face.

"My brother did." he whispered, but he looked confused too, "It is weird," he uttered to himself.

"What is?" smiley questioned,

"In the beginning, he acted as he had clocked them, but later that night when the pictures were gone and he told me that Sanzu took them, he blamed it all on Sanzu. He showed me this video and it---," he ran his hand through his hair.

"He edited it," smiley confirmed,

"So there are no pictures?" I asked, hoping for good news.

"There are pictures, but Sanzu didn't take them, but yes, they are with him as we speak." smiley declared and pain struck me again.

"If he said he will burn them, he might have." Mikey interrupted, but his posture has been shaking. "What did my brother do to Yasuda?" he kept his eyes down and asked smiley. Even if Sanzu wasn't the one to click them, he still worked with Emma and didn't tell me a thing, he even kissed her and lied to me.

Smikey told Mikey everything about his brother and his body began to shiver.

"He loves me, right?" he inquired, watching our faces. The answer can break your heart when you ask others if a person loves you instead of knowing it in your heart.

No answer from us almost killed Mikey. He lowered his head and groaned in pain and betrayal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He love me right?" I uttered to myself, how can Sanzu hide to much from me? At this point, it was all over the place, I had no idea who was telling the truth but he had the pictures.

"Maybe Emma was in on this plan with her brother," smiley whispered in my ear, he was trying hard to keep me from hurting but there was no point in lying to myself.

"We should talk to Sanzu," smiley repeated, I gave a faded nod and stayed silent.

I looked at Mikey, who was acting weird, his body was shivering and his eyes keep wandering on the ground.

"Did he kill my grandpa?" he asked himself, reality was hitting him hard, it felt like the blindfold over his eyes has finally been taken off but it was too late.

"He has been drugging you Manjiro!" I held his hand and sat with him on the bench while smiley called Sanzu from my phone, he didn't tell him what was the emergency.

"W--," he watched my face and tears formed in his eyes, "he always said I was his favorite." he smiled weakly, "he raised me like a monster and then expected everyone to love me." he uttered, "When Yasuda left me, he said Yasuda never liked me. He would always tell me that I am imperfect and only a brother will love his imperfect lil bro. I love you since I was very young, but he would tell me that you hated me y/n and that bullying you might make you fall for me and it actually worked, you began to notice me." It was true that I noticed him, but not because of bullying, "I hated my grandpa because he told me that he wants me dead." he tilted his face and mumbled in confusion.

"He is imperfect, he wanted to marry your mother, which is weird to say now but he never wanted any of his siblings or this life." the words coming from my mouth made a tear to escape from Mikey's eyes.

"So he too never wanted me?" he inquired, his eyes pouring tears. The way he looked at me broke my heart.

"I will go and bring a blanket," smiley murmured to us, eyeing me to watch Mikey because his body was trembling and beginning to turn pale.

"Mikey!" I held his face in my hands and made him focus on me, "We can still make things right," I spoke to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"But I am too broken to be mended now." he shivered as he stated that, he feared no one will ever love him for what he has become and it was too late for him to change himself.

"Don't pretend to be someone, show them how you are and who you are, and trust me," I halted, feeling his tears in my palms. I can't take it anymore, he needs me. I looked at his lips and closed my eyes, crashing our lips together. His cold body stopped shivering the instant I kissed him. He, very gently, held my back and pulled me closer. It was our first kiss together, I can feel his heart beating louder and his body acting normal now.

I broke the kiss, but rested my forehead on his and we breathed heavily. Happiness can be felt from his breaths too, the moment felt like he had wanted me for too long but his brother ruined everything for him.

I slowly looked to the side and there he was, Sanzu stood by our side, watching us in utter shock.
