ᴛʜᴇ ᴏᴡʟ | Tokyo Revengers

ε°з XXII: Just friends

"You swore not to get mad!" She pouted crossing her arms.

"Because I forgot how reckless you can be sometimes." He was pinching his nose irked. "Please tell me you're not going to do it."

"Now that I give it a thought, if I do it I could get to know..."

"No, no, absolutely not. You won't have a date with Hanma, stop seeking trouble. Let's just look for Emma's gift."

Pulling from her hand, they entered the first stop.

"Kenny, this is a souvenir shop. I don't think we will find something for her in this place." She was observing the animal keychains.

"Maybe she'll like this." He was uncertain with a shirt of I ♡ Tokyo, in an enormous size, probably bigger than him.

She broke into a laugh making him leave the shirt apart. "Come with me."

They were walking on Shibuya's downtown, passing the stores but everything seemed out of their budget.

"Don't get bleak, you don't need to get something expensive to impress a girl. The intention is what counts."

"Says the one who's going to give her a luxurious dress besides, I don't want to impress her." He blurted, jaded that they couldn't find anything fitting for Emma.

"First of all, I didn't buy it, and second, is not the only thing I'm going to give her, I'm going to bake her favorite dessert. Do you see? Details..."

After a few stores, they were still empty-handed and wandering over the accessories one.

"Think of something she mentioned, something she likes, it could be a random thing." She found a shelf with socks and took a pair, feeling the fabric and rubbing them to her cheek. "They are so so~ft like a teddy bear!"

"You're a genius, Y/n!" He yelled, finally recalling something important.

"Yeah, I been told so." Draken abruptly took her hand, ignoring her pleads and leading the way to the mall. "Wait up, your legs are bigger than mine, you titan!"

"Here it is!" He was proud of himself with both hands over his waist and a large smile. "Tah-dah!"

"A claw machine?" She hissed with a bored manner, he had dragged her ten minutes for this? She took a closer glimpse, inspecting the prizes and rising her brow at him. "Plushies?"

"The other day she squealed that she liked that one, but Mikey and I shook it off." He signaled to the pink teddy bear.

"You, boys, can be so mean sometimes." Shaking her head in disapproval, she took the coins that she had and added them with his.

Taking turns to try, in the hope of getting the damn plushie, they spent almost all their cash. Far from getting it, both were about to break the crystal in frustration and just take it. Last two coins.

"Okay, me first."

He was at her back giving instructions, making her nervous. Attempting to ignore his voice when aiming the claw, she rounded the machine to have a better look from all angles, and once sure, she returned to the handle ready to push the button.

His hands were over her shoulders, giving slight squeezes supporting her, or so he thought. Then, when she was pushing the button, one of his hands slipped down to her waist at the same time as the claw, making her gulp and shiver by his touch. "You can do it." The vibrations of his voice against the shell of her ear resulted in her failing to the alluring distraction.

"Loser! Now, look how it's done."

Y/n was still restless and covered with goosebumps by his latest move. She always tries to ignore his random flirty demeanor because Draken makes it as if it was nothing, besides, how in the world he would be flirting with her when they were trying to get Emma's gift? It must be her imagination, right?
