The Alpha ~ Mikey x Takemichi

-28-

*A few days later*

Mikey:

I sit next to Ken-chin and lean against him.

My arms bloody. My eyes empty. My clothes smell like smoke and alcohol. My will to fight on, not present.

Love sucks.

He didn't even say things that bad.... and yet it hurt me. He didn't say that he didn't love me or that he wanted to break up. But I took it the wrong way and didn't even listen to him.

It was all because I got emotional. Now I remember why I've always hidden my feelings.

And now?

I tried to apologize. But then Takemitchy insulted me. He said that I just wanted to take advantage of him. Someone wants to break us up... and is telling lies to Takemitchy. But who? And especially why? Yuzuha is with Mitsuya and has apologized for everything. Kisaki is too scared of me. Chifuyu is glad that I have Takemitchy. It can't be anyone from my group either.

It's all way too stressful for me.

Takemichi:

I sit next to Izana, who doesn't give me a glance. He just looks ahead and pretends that I am not there. Mikey is leaning against Draken and is quiet. I know he always looks angry or disinterested... but he seems so... empty? He walks around as if he's about to die. Above all, he doesn't seem as frightening as usual, but sad and vulnerable.

It hurts to see him like this.

And as always he goes out to smoke a cigarette with Takeomi and Draken. I miss going everywhere with him. He smokes and I lie in the grass. Or the moments when we just lay in bed and cuddled. Or the kinky moments where he sometimes even stripped for me or even did a pole dance. 

Yes I know that when you miss a person, you think about other things... but he is great at it! All you can do is remember it!

...and now I have a hard-on. Great.

Mikey:

Chifuyu and Baji came up to us... holding hands towards us. "Why isn't Takemichi with you?" Baji asks confused. "They're having a fight." Ken-chin answers for me. Chifuyu took me in his arms without words. He had to start coughing. "Sorry... I stink of smoke." 

"It's alright. Not used to it yet." He takes my arm and rolls up the sleeve so you can see my fresh scars. He rolls it back down and pulls me to his room. Baji, Ken-chin and Takeomi follow us in silence.

"Would anyone like something to drink?" Baji asks kindly. Ken-chin and Takeomi wanted coffee, Chifuyu and I just wanted tea. While the water was boiling, Chifuyu disinfected my scars and bandaged them properly.

"I'll talk to Takemichi later. Everything will be alright Mikey." Chifuyu tries to cheer me up. "You'll treat him with gloves on anyway. I'll do it." Baji says angrily.

Why is everyone on my side? Takemitchy is alone now, isn't he...?

Takemichi:

"And you're not going to apologize?"

"Why should I? He's taking advantage of me and not me," I answer angrily.

Just a moment ago I was missing him.

Kisaki sighed. "Mikey's not the type to do that. I know that and that's the sad thing. You're with him, so you should know what makes him tick."

"And what do you care all of a sudden, four-eye?"

"I'm just trying to help! I'm with Hinata and through her i now know how nice it is to be with someone you love. Don't you miss him at all?" he asks me frustrated.

"Yes. No? I don't. Just now I was sad because he's 'gone.' And now I just don't want to see him anymore."

I'm very confused.

"Are you having your period? No fun. Are you in your heat?"

"That was a few days ago."

"Was he dominant or you?" What's with all the questions! "Me."

"Oh shit Takemichi. When you're in your heat you have to be dominated by the one with whom you have connected to. Your whole system is messed up now. When you are not in the heat, you can do whatever you want. Did anyone actually tell you that Mikey is taking advantage of you?" I look to the side, embarrassed.

"No."

"Takemichi you idiot!"

Yeah I know, I'm an idiot. You don't all have to rub my face in it...
