Now and Then: A Second Chance (Various! Tokyo Revengers Characters X OC)

Knives Out

Misaki's P.O.V. 

Hakkai took a step forward before kneeling to the ground in front of the leaders of Toman. He faced his head downwards, but she could still make out his furrowed brows and his trembling lips.

"I won't make any excuses. Beat me, hate me, do whatever you want..." He started slowly, placing both hands on his knees. He then raised his head slightly upwards to stare at them all, a serious expression appearing on his face.

"...As his little brother, I'm prepared for the consequences." 

Hakkai then rose his bowed head completely and abruptly, causing some of the captains of Toman to tense.

"So, leader!" He then shouted, turning to face directly towards Manjiro.

"I, Hakkai Shiba, Tokyo Manji Gang's Second Division Vice-Captain...request permission to leave Toman!" 

Misaki knew this was coming, but she tensed anyway, and sent a quick glance to Takemichi who subtlety nodded, taking that as his queue. 

"...Is that really okay with you?" Manjiro stated rather blandly, head tilted as he eyed Hakkai.

"WAIT JUST A MINUTE!" Takemichi then interrupted, causing Misaki's lips to slightly lift in a smile.

He moved to stand right in front of Hakkai, directly facing their leader.

"I OBJECT TO THIS!" 

Hakkai averted his eyes to the blonde in front of him, staring at Takemichi's back. His eyes had widened and a look of surprise overtook him.

"Takemitchy..."

Takemichi peered over his shoulder at him, sending him a smile and a thumbs up, before turning back to Manjiro.

"Mikey..." He started, before fumbling through his pockets. Misaki sent him a quizzical look.

We didn't go over how he would convince Manjiro to let Hakkai stay but I swear to god if it's something stupid...

"Take a moment to calm down and reconsider!" 

Misaki sighed, thankful that he was using clear wording.

Then, he surprised everyone, by pulling out a package of dorayaki. 

Misaki's eyes almost bulged out of her head.

Nevermind, why am I even surprised.

"Reconsider...with this tasty snack!" 

He held the sweet snack in front of him, showing it to Manjiro. As that happened, Misaki placed a hand on her temple, massaging the headache that was slowly building, before sending a look over to Chifuyu. He nodded towards her and sent her a thumbs up, which caused her to sweat-drop. 

They're idiots. Absolute idiots. 

Then, Takemichi did something even stupider. He climbed up the metal beams Manjiro had situated himself on, and handed him the dorayaki, a goofy smile on his face.

"Here you go!" 

Manjiro squinted at him before grabbing onto the sweet and flinging it to the other size of the room, which was, frankly, the nicest option she would have expected from him.

"Don't want it." he flatly stated.

Then, he sent Takemichi a rather annoyed look. "Don't interrupt." 

"Oi! You think this is funny, jackass?!" Draken yelled, an agitated look on his face. Takemichi's jaw dropped and he shook his head. 

Misaki nearly slapped her face and felt herself age 10 years at his plan. She glared towards Takemichi, eyebrow twitching. He rubbed at the nape of his neck nervously, as he usually did, before pulling a notepad out of his pockets to examine. His eyes were filled with hope as he stared at the notes, but within a second, his expression changed to that of a dumbfounded look. He peered over at Misaki, eyes slightly watering and a sad excuse for a smile sat on his face.
