Butterfly Effect || Mikey

Chapter 28

"Izana fuck off" you yelled towards the male who flipped you off with his middle finger.
"Y/n stop fighting" Emma sighed as you tried to watch a movie together, but you and Izana kept bickering . Mikey sighed and grabbed you by your waist an plopped you next to him.

You immediately blushed as he whispered something in your ear:
"Y/n if you won't fight with him i'll buy you more chocolate" he said , you thought for a moment and agreed. Izana and Emma looked shocked.

"She can be only be calmed down by him" Izana whispered to Draken who laughed nodding.
"They are made for each other"Emma said with sparkles decorating her eyes, Draken looked at her briefly before focusing on the tv.

It had been six months since the Kantou Accident and Mikey and his family took Izana in.
At first it was difficult to establish a normal environmental with him because he tried to kill Emma and you. Kisaki had lost his life in an accident so that put your mind at peace at least.

That day when he came he bowed and apologised to you for everything, you did accept his apology but you still didn't feel that much comfortable around him. Emma seemed to integrate with her new brother more and slowly they became family.

Toman seemed to accept Izana and Kakucho as well, making you feel more isolated to the fact that you couldn't..it didn't leave your mind how everything could have gone for the worst. Emma dying and everything.....it slightly haunted you.

After watching the film Draken went home and Emma went to sleep , soon Izana too.
You were trying to sleep but couldn't, overthinking taking the better of you, all those bad thoughts.
Shaking Mikey's hand off your waist gently, you headed towards the kitchen to get water.

You grabbed a glass and filled it up with some tap water, sighing you sat on a chair and massaged your temples. "Are you okay?" the voice made you jump.
"Omg you scared me" you said to Izana as he poured himself a glass of water himself as well.

"Can't sleep?" he asked to which you nodded.
"Same" he replied to which you were about to walk away when he called out to you.
"Can we talk?" he asked with pleading eyes.
"Go on" you sat back where you did before.

"I have noticed that everyone has forgiven me ..but i saw in these months that you still freeze up when i enter a room. I wanted to say that the reason i can't sleep is because what i did haunts me.. how i almost hurt Emma and you. I can't change the past but i really mean it, i hate myself and i want to change.
I'm not asking for forgiveness or anything, if you are uncomfortable i'll leave you be" he said .

"Hey i-" you tried to reply but he continued.

"My life until now was empty, especially after Shinichiro's death i stopped feeling anything. But in these past few months i felt so much happiness thanks to Mikey and Emma. I sometimes wanted to just end it all-" he continued to explain all of what happened in his life.

He explained his life at the institute, his jealousy of Mikey and all the regret he had for not listening to Shinichiro. How he should have opened his heart sooner so none of the bad things would have happened.

You listened silently, taking in all the information, you never knew how hard his life had been until that point. It pained you that his mother had left him like that...he was only a child who deserved parental guide and love . Anyone would have gone bad after having such a rough upbringing.

"Im so sorry " he repeated again, this time breaking down in front of you, showing you his vulnerability.
You didn't think twice and hugged him, it suprised him but he reciprocated the embrace.

"I forgive you Izana, we are your new family okay? Even if you aren't blood related to any of us that doesn't mean we can't be family ..it's a matter of bond not blood .So just tell us is anything bothers you or if you need to talk...you were manipulated by Kisaki so don't carry all the burden on yourself"you spoke gently.

"You shouldn't-"he wad about finish.

"Now listen to me, we are here to care for each other okay? So if you want to do something do change what happened focus on caring for everyone.
We are here and always will be" you finished.

"Shinichiro-san would have said the same as well"
He continued to cry in your shoulder .

That talk made you feel so much better, same was for Izana , he could sleep again and enjoy his time with his family. He even decided to make you guys dinner one day in order to thank you.
That night had changed everything for the better.

"If you feel like that , next time please talk to me" Mikey broke the silence, this was the day after your talk with Izana.
"I will Mikey, i promise" you smiled and held his hands, interlacing your fingers with his while looking at him in his eyes.

He seemed to think about something and spoke up.
"I almost lost you...i thought everything was over" he mustered up the courage to talk about that awful moment that still scared him.
"It felt like you slipped away from my life"

"I didn't know what i would i have done, i was still in shock. A life without you in it.....i can't imagine that even if i was given a thousand years. I felt like everything crashed onto me, shattering what happiness we had built together"

"I'm so grateful to any god above there that you woke up y/n, if you didn't i would have gone mad"he said, despair written all over his face as he talked.
"I'm here , so let's just think about the present, that is a forgotten moment" you quietly mumbled.

He grabbed you by your waist and placed you onto his lap gently, placing his hands on your sides comfortingly , looking into your soft features.
"I will always love you too" he said before placing a kiss on your lips, it felt light as a feather.

"So it was you, who said that when i was in coma...."  you should have thought that, it was him.
"You heard me?" he asked confused.

"Of course i heard it, that was the sentence that gave me energy to wake up"
