Your P.O.V
And so eventually, the three of us headed towards the sauna. Once we arrived, Taka quickly disappeared into one of the locker rooms so that he could change himself. "Yo-", Mondo let out, coming up to me while I was sitting on a bench next to the entrance of the sauna. "Yea?", I asked him, slightly confused. "Would ya mind taking care of my coat while we are in there?", Mondo asked me, putting off his coat. "Sure I can do that", I let out to him with a smile. "Great thanks", Mondo let out, folding his large coat and handing it to me. I laid his coat in my lap and leaned a bit back. While we both waited for Taka to come back, he sat down next to me, leaning against the wall. I didn't quite know what to say or how to start a conversation so I decided to let it be before I fucked up. 
and soon enough Taka arrived again, with nothing but a towel wrapped around his hips. Both of them eventually entered the sauna while I leaned back a bit and took care of Mondo's coat. This coat really was large but it looked awesome. At first, I was asking myself why Mondo was making it harder for him and didn't just wrap a towel around his hips like Taka as well but that question was soon answered when I listened to their conversation they both had during their competition. 
"You know you can put off your clothes as well, I won't judge you you know-", I heard Taka's voice let out. "Shut up with that, I'll show you that I can handle this even with my clothes on!", Mondo replied to him. Well I could have already thought about that, considering Mondo's strong will to win this but this maybe wasn't the best option, even if he left his coat to me. 
The next moments, they were still arguing. But hey, at least this wasn't getting boring. 

When I started to talk to them as well, the negative vibes in the air eventually slowly faded away. They weren't insulting each other anymore. At some point, I joined them in the sauna, sitting in between them  both and taking Mondo's coat with me. "You took my coat with you?", Mondo asked me somehow confused. "I told you I would be taking care of it so yea", I let out to him. The reason I joined them was not because I would have been part of the competition or because I had been arguing with them  both now as well, no. It was rather because the mood between them was slowly getting better and it was kind of a pain in the ass to talk through a door. 
"You know Mondo- maybe you're not a that bad guy after all-", Taka finally admitted, making me suppress a grin. "Yea maybe you aren't that bad as well", Mondo admitted, avoiding eye contact with the ultimate moral compass.
Now that the two were friendly to each other again, I somehow started a conversation. At some point, Mondo and I were caught up in a conversation, so we eventually forgot the heat around us. Taka couldn't really talk with us since we were talking about tattoos and I didn't think Taka was the kind of guy that would get himself tattooed so Mondo and I were the only ones talking about it. He said he wanted to be the first costumer when I opened up a real tattoo salon and when I asked which motive he wanted to have, Taka interrupted our conversation. 
"As unfortunate and impolite it is to interrupt your conversation but it is indeed getting a little late and especially hot", Taka let out. "Yeah bro, you're right. Maybe we should call it a day", Mondo replied. I agreed as well, eventually getting out of the sauna with the two guys. Taka quickly went to change himself into his school uniform again while I gave Mondo his gang coat again. "thanks man, I appreciate it", Mondo let out with a smile while he took the coat from my hands and hung it around his shoulder. "No worries", I replied to him, smiling back at him. While we two were waiting for Taka, I stretched myself and let out a long yawn. "You want me to walk you to your dorm room?", Mondo offered, raising his voice out of instinct again. "Yeah that would be nice", I replied to him. 

Eventually, Taka headed towards his room while Mondo and I were walking behind him next to each other. "Good night bro", Mondo let out while Taka disappeared in his room. "Thanks that you agreed to be our witness. I can't believe we were actually fighting like this", Mondo let out, scratching the back of his head while looking to the side. "Don't worry. I mean in the end, it actually was fun to talk with you two and now you get along, that's the main part, isn't it?", I replied to him. "Yea I know but we kinda pulled ya into this", he let out. "I get what you mean but the thing with the sauna could have ended terribly wrong, too much isn't healthy as well", I replied to him. "But I'm glad you talked it out with him", I added, slightly cracking a smile. "Yea man I guess you're right", Mondo replied while we arrived at my dorm room, his being not far away. "Well I guess we should call it a night now", I let out, scratching the back of my head. "Yea you are right", Mondo agreed to me. "Well then good night", he let out before heading towards his own room again. 
I unlocked my room and switched on the light. I put on some other clothes I grabbed from the storage room earlier since mine were soaked in sweat from the sauna. Tired, I let myself fall down on the bed again and closed my eyes. It didn't really take long for me to eventually drift off to sleep.
