Chapter 40

It was about an hour before you had Mikey calm again, curled into your side under the kotatsu blanket, his position mirroring Kazutora's, only their eyes seen over the blanket. His arm was latched around yours just like Izana's would be...

You missed Izana-senpai.

Baji was lounging next to Kazutora, arm over the back and socked feet on a pillow on the table top. His head was tipped over the back, fully relaxed, with a satisfied grin on his face.

Koko was now sitting in a bean bag, scrolling through his Blackberry IOS and writing numbers on a note pad on his lap.

Inui was in the kitchen still, stirring something else into the hot pot for tonight, most likely making more for Mikey. It smelt heavenly, the scent reminding you of late nights at your shared apartment in Toman's Tower in the heart of Tokyo. The rain on the windows, candles on the table lighting up the dark as you and Inui shared a meal in comfortable silence, enjoying the peace.

Fondness filled you as you sunk further into the couch, bringing Mikey further with you. He cuddled up and probably would have purred if he was a cat.

"Neh, Kazutora," Mikey finally spoke as he readjusted himself at your side, his red rimmed black eyes looking at Kazutora again.

Said teen cleared his throat and lowered the blanket, "...Yes, Mikey?" He asked with a nervous titer in his voice.

And wasn't this such a good sight to see? In your future Mikey had killed Kazutora and he had always regretted it. That day he lost two friends, Baji trying to protect him and Toman and Kazutora to Mikey's blackout rage.

You observed the interaction with mounting interest.

Mikey let go of you and sat up straight to fully face Kazutora, "I've thought about this a lot, more so since you were released from juvie. I wasn't sure how I felt at first, but after what had happened between Toman and Valhalla, I came to a decision. You're still a part of Toman and I forgive you." He smiled softly, his black eyes closing, hand laid over his heart in his sincerity.

Kazutora stared bewildered at Mikey, tears clouding his eyes and you smiled in relief. 

"M-Mikey--" Kazutora's voice was strained as he sunk back into the blanket, unable to stop the tears, "I'm sorry..." He whispered, turned on his side and covered himself fully with the blanket.

The commander seemed pleased and turned to hug you again and you chuckled. 

This Mikey was so much different then the original Mikey you had known. He had just forgiven Kazutora, face to face. It was refreshing and made you feel like maybe things really could change. Maybe they could be different.

And maybe your strategy to endear yourself to Mikey worked a little too well.

You had never been like this with Mikey, but you heard that before Emma died he was like this all the time, with all his friends at that.

You had trouble seeing him being like this with everyone though. He curled up against you again, tucking his head under your chin. When you didn't move he physically rose your hand and placed it on his upper arm and moved it up and down.

You chuckled and complied, holding him close to you and rubbed his upper arm soothingly.

"You're really going to spoil him like this, [y/n]?" Baji asked in annoyance, looking out the corner of his eye at the two of you cuddling like young lovers.

You smiled sweetly at the teen, "You're jealous again, Bajiiii~" he frowns at the tone, "You only have to ask if you want to cuddle, Baji-chi.🤍" He was always easy to rile up.
