obsessed

chapter fourteen

"The operation...was successful." Everyone loudly cheered at the good news. (Y/n) looked through the glass as Draken was now peacefully sleeping. He then let out a relieved breath, not even realizing he was holding his breath the entire time.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Mikey quietly leave. Questioning his actions, he followed from behind, Takemichi doing the same.

When he stepped out, he watched Mikey lean on the wall for support as he slid down, gripping onto his hair roughly. His eyes turned wide as he realized Mikey was now crying.

'Of course, he'd be crying. His best friend was on the verge of death. But, why maintain the tough act in front of everyone..?' He hesitantly walked up to Mikey, crouching down to meet his eyes.

Mikey, who had now just noticed (Y/n), quickly wiped away his tears before smiling. "(Y/n) chin, shouldn't you be inside with everyone else?" "I can say the same for you."

The two stayed silent before (Y/n) spoke up, "Hey, um, you know you don't have to act like this, right?" Mikey tilted his head to the side, clearly confused.

"I mean, you don't need to hold in your tears, acting all tough. It might be night, but I can see your nose is runny, and your eyes are red." The boy sighed before opening his arms, motioning to the boy.

"You don't need to hide the fact you're crying. You're with me, and there's no one around. So, you can just let it all out, okay? I'm here to comfort you."

(Y/n) felt himself get pushed onto the ground, his shoulder now getting wet as Mikey's arms wrapped around him. He wrapped one arm around the other's waist as his second hand softly caressed Mikey's hair, quietly muttering, "It's okay, Mikey. You can cry all you want."

Mikey sniffed and let out more tears, occasionally choking on them. "I...I was so scared (Y/n) chin. Ken chin, he's- he's the only thing keeping me sane. When I saw him all bloody like that, I just..I just felt so damn scared."

The older stayed quiet, attentively listening to the boy's rant until he no longer felt the blonde crying. (Y/n) gently cleared away all the remaining tears on Mikey's face as the two embraced each other in silence.

After a couple of minutes, the two reluctantly let go of each other before Mikey spoke. "Well, that was embarrassing for me." "Hey, what do you mean by that?" (Y/n) questioned with a frown.

"It's okay to cry. Really, it's okay. Penting up your emotions and acting like you're alright is certainly not a good thing." (Y/n) pat Mikey's head, which Mikey instantly leaned in.

"Don't be afraid to cry, alright? Whenever you feel like crying or ranting, just let me know. I'll always be there for you, okay Mikey?" "You promise?" "Yes, I promise." Mikey felt his heart pounding, looking at the boy in front of him with the biggest smile.

"Mhm, (Y/n) chin!" (Y/n) stood up before Mikey tugged on his sleeve. "Yes, Mikey?" "Call me Manjiro." (Y/n) raised his eyebrow, recalling how Mikey would want everyone to call him Mikey instead of his given name. Still, he smiled and complied.

"Alright, Manjiro."

Once again, Mikey's heart pounded, hearing his name from (Y/n). It felt so pleasing to hear. He wanted (Y/n) to say it again and again and again and again. No matter what, he'd never get tired of it.

Takemichi, who was watching the entire scene, leaned against the wall. 'All this time, Mikey's been hiding how he's really felt to himself. I'm glad he has (Y/n) to help him.' He then felt himself frown even more.

'But, why do I feel like (Y/n) kun is hiding something too?'

---------------------------------------

Takemichi pridefully strode into the hospital and began to head towards Draken's room, only to see someone hurry out of his room. Raising his eyebrow, he entered Draken's hospital room to find the boy with a bowl of curry in hand and gift bags. 

"Draken, how ya' doing?" Draken ate the remainder of the curry and glared at Takemichi. "Who the hell died and made you king? If (Y/n) was still here, he'd be making fun of you by now."

Takemichi, who was taken aback, stutters, "Huh? W-Whatever do you mean?" "Your head's gettin' too big for your body, and all cause you got a little attention. Get over yourself, you dumbass."

The blonde's head hung low as he took off his glasses and rushed in front of Draken. "You don't understand...I've never had anyone look up to me before! Let my-" "Ken, I forgot the bag of dorayaki for- Oh."

There stood (Y/n) in front of the door, putting a halt to the blondes' moment and staring at the two. "...Am I interrupting something cause I can leave if you want me to-" "It's not like that at all idiot!"

After clearing the misunderstanding, (Y/n) sat down next to Draken, judging Takemichi's choice of clothes. "...Takemichi, what in the actual fu- What kind of garbage are you wearing?" Takemichi sulked, turning away from the two. "Man, you say I saved your life and as soon as you feel better, you act like this."

(Y/n) turned to Draken, pretending not to hear Takemichi. "So, how was the curry?" "Oh, yeah, it was good. Thanks." "Don't ignore me you two!"

The eldest looked around, teasing Takemichi even more, "Hey, Ken, do you hear something? I think my ears are acting up." "(Y/n)!" The two on the bed giggled, satisfied with Takemichi's reaction.

"Oh yeah, Takemichi, here. Mikey said he wanted to give it to you." Takemichi emptied the bag and was amazed when he realized he was holding a Toman uniform.

"A gang uniform?!" "It's Mikey's. He told me it was from when Toman was first formed." (Y/n) informed the blonde, who kept staring at the uniform with disbelief.

"Why would he want to give something like this to me? Wouldn't it be better for (Y/n) kun to have it?" Draken smiled and stared down. "Well, it's up to you if you wear it or not. Mikey wanted you to have it regardless."

The blonde ruffled (Y/n)'s hair, having the boy swat his hand away as he pouted over his now messy hair. "Besides, Mitsuya's been working on a uniform for him."

(Y/n) tilted his head, showing he was unaware of what Mitsuya was doing. "So that's why he hasn't let me into his club room lately..."

"You and (Y/n) practically saved Toman. So, I want to thank you both again." Draken got up and bowed to the two, continuing to speak.

"Thank you, and take good care of it."

"Ken, this is the 5th time you've bowed to me-" "Shut up."
