Fate & Fury * Mitsuya x Reader

Chapter 51

The atmosphere was tense in the shop this morning, ten people surrounding the kotatsu, some looking off into space and others glaring viscerally into inanimate objects. You sat hunched over your knees, legs crossed. You were thinking hard on what Takemitchy had just told everyone here.

Apparently everything went to shit again.

You pressed your chin into your interlinked fingers, eyes intense with concentration.

You were still unwilling to look at anyone around you until your thoughts were straight. 

You, Mikey and Kisaki were in a three way shadow war. Black Dragons, Bonten and Tsuyaku. 

Emma died the day of the fight with Tenjiku then Draken killed Hanma in retaliation, then was executed.

You were able to get through to Izana-senpai, but Kisaki shot him immediately.

Izana-senpai was, and is now, possibly more mentally unstable than when you first met him.

Chifuyu died... though Takemichi was hiding a detail from you all, but you kept silent about that in understanding. Perhaps Chifuyu's death had to do with someone around the table? Yes, thinking about it, Takemitchy would probably feel it best to not tell Mikey that he would kill one of their friends in front of everyone else.

And the worst one?  Mitsuya was killed the same day as Emma... Kisaki and Hanma did a drive-by. A cinderblock to the head.

.

.

.

This was a lot to process... and you had to do it while keeping a room full of teens in check.

Why didn't Takemitchy just talk to you alone first?

You shook your head, about to address everyone present--

"We should just kill Kisaki and Hanma."

You looked at the person who suggested this. And of course--

Mikey's deep black eyes were already staring at you, daring you to challenge what he said.

"No, Mikey-kun, this here is why we sent Takemitchy-kun forward, so we would have that knowledge so we can work around it."

You watched as Mikey's eyes narrowed, but Draken was the one to explode, launching across the table, hand fisting your haori, "What if we fuck up and Emma dies?! Huh?! You think this is a game?! Like you can play with our lives?!" Draken pulled you up towards his face, yours remaining neutral, but Mitsuya gripped his wrist before Inui could reach Draken.

"Hey, man, the fuck are you doin?! Just sit down and stay calm, alright?" Mitsuya shouted, lavender eyes alight in anger, willing to fight with his best friend over this.

They stared one another down, all three of your faces close.

Tensions boiled.

Mostly everyone around the table were holding their breaths, Mikey looking on impassively.

Draken stilled for a moment, understanding how serious Mitsuya really was and huffed, shoulders rose dramatically, but he still leaned away with a scowl.

The tension was still there, but there hadn't been real violence, yet.

It quieted down, everyone lost in their own thoughts, but Mikey was still staring at you with those creepy eyes.
