absentminded.

sentimental shame<3

(a/n: pah's friend's girlfriend was unnamed so i chose a name for her and random family name 4 her nd her parents:) also! trigger warning, rape is mentioned, osanai also threatens reader inappropriately bc he's a dick :(( also a suicide mention i think ? also slightly self harming behavior? f/n scratches her arm cause she's upset)

"i have no use at all for love, romance, or pain."

"what the hell are you doing here?! after putting my daughter in the icu?! get out of here you scumbags!" draken immediately bowed. "hm? don't bow to him, kenchin. we did nothing wrong." the man continued yelling, which was clearly an annoyance to mikey. before he could say anything, draken pulled him down so they were both bowing. "we're very sorry for what happened to your daughter. it was entirely our responsibility." mikey continued to complain, but the taller boy just shushed him. "mr and mrs. shikichi?" takemichi could only watch as you calmly turned the corner. your usual cheerful and poppy demeanor had been replaced by a calm one, holding a gentle smile on your face. to his surprise, you didn't seem surprised seeing draken and mikey there. mr. shikichi was panting, clearly on the verge of tears. his wife stood next to him, crying.

"i've got the money i've made this week, you can use it for your daughters hospital bills. i've been house sitting as you asked, your landlord came yesterday. your bills for this month and next month are covered. oh, and, i've met these two personally. please believe me when i say they had nothing to do with your daughters attack. i assure you, we plan to help you and aya in anyway we can." with a bow, you handed them an envelope with the money you had made. all the man could do was look at you. he knew you were a good kid from the times you had spoken, and when you offered to house sit so they could spend more time with their daughter. but this? it's not like monthly rent was cheap, and you didn't even stop there. their monthly rent was about one hundred thousand yen, and you had paid two?

the woman continued to sob, her husband was still at a loss of words. "l-l/n-san.. i don't- i don't know what to say. we- we thought we wouldn't.." he stopped, covering his mouth to silence a small sob. standing on your tip-toes - mr. shikichi was unusually tall- you pressed your forehead against his, similar to how you had done with takemichi. cupping his face, you sent him a soft smile. "your daughter is going to be okay. aya's stronger than you know. your baby girl isn't going to leave you, never." could you guarantee this? nope. but, telling people what they want to hear is easy. he sobbed as you stepped backwards, still smiling. "please call me if you need anything. i'll be taking out leave now. my phone number is written on the back of the envelope. get some rest." you stepped between draken and mikey, skipping after turning the corner.

rolling around in bed, you groaned as your phone rang. 'michi (╯︵╰,)' read on your screen, you considered not answering, but you decided you should. "hi, takemichi-san. are you-" he quickly cut you off, talk about rude. "there's an old warehouse a block away from your house! you'll see it, it's beaten up! please meet me there, i can't let them fight mobius!" you furrowed your eyebrows, tightening your grip on the phone. "no, i won't be assisting you in that. i'd wish you good luck, but i formally hope your plan fails! bye-bye!" you hung up, but he called again just a second later. "hi, takemichi-san. what are you-" once again, you were interrupted. "listen, you don't understand! we can't let this happen, it'll make everything go down hill! they're going to get hurt!" you had a weird feeling in your chest. you had no intentions to stop the dispute but, something was telling you to go anyways.

"i'll be there. don't expect much from me. i do not agree with your morals. bye-bye!" immediately, you hopped out of bed, rushing out the door. you recognized the feeling, and you had to get there. quick. you ran into hanagaki outside, and he wasted no time pulling you into the warehouse. "what's up, takemicchi, f/n?" you didn't want takemichi to answer. you didn't want him to drag you under with him. "we're in the middle of an important discussion." draken was as prompt as he usually was. "can you.. stop the conflict with mobius?" you backed away from him, raising your hands. "i am a supporter of the fight, it's only takemichi."

"i.. the conflict. i can't say why but.. someone's pulling the string behind this!" in an instant pah pulled takemichi back by his hair, throwing him to the floor. this time, you made no attempt to stop him. "better quit fuckin' with us, bitch." peh spoke for his friend. "leave. say one more word and you're dead. so, how should we attack mobius?" hanagaki was on a roll with interrupting people. "you can't! you can't fight with mobius.. toman's gonna get screwed!" pah twitched, leaning down to takemichi. "stand up." though, he didn't even give the blonde time to try to, just quickly going to attack him. he yelled while pushing him around, punching him with no hesitation. "we can't fight?! you can't say why?! then who the hell beat up my friend?! who the hell raped his girlfriend, asshole?!"

"i- i don't know!" mikey finally cut in. "takemicchi. i get what you're saying. but we're going to fight mobius. you don't understand. i decided we were going to fight, so we're going to fight." takemichi dropped to the floor, bowing. "i won't back down! if we fight, toman's done! we.. just became friends! i don't want everything to fall apart!" pah was just about to continue his relentless attacks, but draken caught his arm. "the hell are you doing?!" the taller blonde sent a glance at the boy on the floor. "takemicchi said he wasn't backin' down. maybe we should check what mobius is up to, mikey." the room went quiet. "hm, kenchin, are you defying toman?" you stayed quiet, this wasn't your fight. not yet, at least. you just moved to stand towards mikey, deciding it was the best place to observe. "huh? it's not like that at all."

"yes, it is." you quickly looked up, hearing someone coming in. "sorry to interrupt your internal dispute. but ya' keep sayin' mobius. why don'tcha keep our name outta' your mouths? fuckin' middle school babies." pah visibly tensed up, clenching his fists. "you're.." the older bitch-boy laughed, puffing out smoke from his cigarette. "osanai. now shut it, dick cheese." pah huffed, clearly mad. which, he should be. "you bastard!" the highschooler just laughed, pointing his comb towards pah. "hey, i'm your upperclassman. that's mr. bastard to you." with that, the toman captain rushed towards the mobius president, yelling.

osanai was quick to dodge, pah being the one to get punched instead. you exhaled, your palm bleeding from your fingernails once again. as bad as you wanted to beat him- no, kill him- this wasn't your fight. pah didn't want osanai to get beat up by anyone but him. you weren't a victim here. "jus' a middle schooler. eh?" his eyes were on you now, his smirk growing. "didn't think you'd have a chick here. you a middle schooler too? young bitch like you has gotta be tight as hell. tell ya what, maybe if you're a good girl, we won't completely kill your friends here."

"how do you.. get up in the morning..?" you spoke with a smile, as hard as that was. "if i were as pathetic as you, i'd kill myself. does picking on people younger than you and women make you feel big? and, you really aren't my type. i've never liked men who's egos are bigger than their dicks. though, i guess that's not hard for you." you continued smiling, even though him and all his men looked like they were going to pounce on you. "let me guess, two inches, maybe?" before he could say anything back, pah went for him again. once again, he was easily blocked. you flopped next to mikey, digging into your forearm with your nails. the boy next to you quickly grabbed your hand, lifting it from your arm. "don't hurt yourself. we won't let him do anything to you. are you alright?"

"he couldn't do anything to me, i could kick his ass myself. but this is pah's fight, not mine. i'm alright, thank you mikey-san." he kept his hand on yours, quite positive you'd continue scratching yourself if he didn't. "i'm sure pah would appreciate that. you totally ripped into osanai, though. and you can just say mikey, f/n!"

"hm? i've been saying mikey, mikey-san."
