Toman's Little Sister

37 | A Familiar Feeling

You sighed, sitting down on the stairs leading to the church, still multiple Black Dragons surrounding you. "Are we really fighting on Jesus' holy ground here?" You moved to the side and grabbed a fist that was aimed at you, slamming it to the concrete stairs.

"Y/N-chin?"

"M-Mikey!" Draken looked around at the Black Dragons, squinting his eyes. "You're a bit off your game, aren't you? This amount's normally on the ground in a few minutes."

You sighed, picking up your jacket that was sprawled out on the church's steps. "Oi, it's colder than a witch's as—" Your mouth shut, your eyes travelling to the stained glass windows of the church. "Than... Jack Frost's house here. Give me a break."

Draken cracked his knuckles. "Then let me give you a hand." You stood up, rubbing your hands together. "Can I actually get out of the cold?"

"Just come inside with me, Y/N-chin."

You followed Mikey inside and opened the door. "Oh, hey guys." Mikey greeted once everyone turned to the door. "Merry Christmas!"

What an entrance...

"Wasn't expecting to see some gang members battling it out on holy ground." You said, although you did, indeed, expect it. Your gaze fell on Mitsuya, a gash across his forehead, then on Inui, the pipe at his feet that was slightly bent. "And... trickery on holy ground as well."

"How many times do you have to say holy in that conversation?" Koko questioned.

"Well, she's not wrong. What are you guys doing on a day like this?"

Mitsuya staggered to his feet and bowed. "Mikey, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I broke the truce, so we're in a battle now."

You and Mikey looked at each other, your hand going to the back of your neck once more with a warm smile. "My big bro recognized the sound of your impulse." Mikey began. "Then Baji said, "Only Mitsuya's bike sounds that sweet!" You know?"

You chuckled a bit, squeezing the back of your neck. Sure, it may not have been the same thing that Mikey was talking about, but...

"Come on, everybody's gotta have a tickle spot." Shinichiro tried to tickle your arm but you didn't react. "I told you, I don't have one."

"Is that so?" Baji trapped you in his arms and blew at the back of your neck. "Agh! No, Kei-chan, I-" You began laughing and Shinichiro took your back. "Ah, so you do have one?" He nuzzled his face into the back of your neck, everyone in the room laughing as you giggled.

"Let me try, let me try!" Mikey said.

...it felt familiar.

Mikey walked further into the church, down the aisle until he stopped right in front of Taiju. "These are the three that you're fighting?"

"So this is the 'Invincible Mikey?'"

"Why are you standing in my way?" Mikey tilted his head to the side, a habit he picked up when he was mad. "I just want to ride with the guys again. If Mitsuya dies, Baji and my big bro will be very sad."

He was immediately punched in the face and plummeted to the floor, jaws in the room dropping in shock.

The bells chimed through the church, everyone silent in shock until Taiju let out a laugh. "Even the bells chime in my victory today! I've defeated the Invincible Mikey!"
