The tiled wall of bathroom was painted red with blood. The rusty smell filled the room but Mikey is unbothered. He is lying inside the tub, playing with a small axe he used to butcher a woman.

With his other hand, he took his phone and called Sanzu.

Call someone to
clean up.

Copy. I'll be there
To get the item.

I don't
need this one.

Roger that.
I'll just send
the cleaner.

Lately Mikey has been extra picky with whatever he adds on his collection. Before he met you, he was not like this. He seldom adds his collection now but kept on killing other young woman. Sanzu doesn't really care how Mikey decide on things, he just follow him.


While Mikey was submerged on the cold water of tub, staring at the ceiling, his phone beeped. It was a message from you. Instead of replying to your message, he got up immediately and cleaned himself.

After changing clothes, he checked his phone to see if there's a new message from you. To his disappointment, there was none.

You are not the type of woman who persistently chase on man. If he doesn't reply on a single message, you won't send another one.

This is not you trying to act like someone important. But rather, being considerate on others time. If a person doesn't response immediately, maybe they are busy or simply ignoring you. That's how you think it is.

Mikey came home after he fixed himself. You usually welcomes him with hugs and kisses but today was different. You're not on the living room and so he went to the kitchen. It was dead silent, he panicked and ran to your shared room only to see it empty.

Suddenly, the door of the room opened and revealed you.

"Where have you been?" Mikey asked in a flat tone.

"I didn't know you would come back early Mikey. I was in the bathroom treating my hand." You lifted your left hand and showed him.

Mikey walked closer and hugged you. "I thought you left me. What happened to your hand?"

"Just a minor burn. I was cooking a while ago." You tapped his back and he break you free from the hug. "Why would you think i'd leave you?" You held both his cheek.


His eyes softened. The truth is he is not confident you'd stay for him if it's not for the thing he did to you. He sometimes feel you just stick with him because you felt indebted but none other that.

This goes for the both of you. Mikey never told why he did so much for you and you just stayed knowing nothing.

Maybe, the two of you just stay to fill the needs of each other.

"Mikey, let's eat. I made some anko jelly." You held his hand and went to the dining room together.

"Your little brother seriously having his way don't he?" A lanky man with yellow streak hair said.

"He sure does." A man with platinum blonde like mikey replied. "Hanma, don't you think we should shut them up a little? My former boys are also getting too cocky with their new boss."

Hanma had a wide grin plastered on his face. "I have an idea, Izana."

You and Mikey were just in the living room watching horror movie. Well, he isn't really focused on the movie. He just enjoy lying on the couch with his head on your lap.

Mikey is usually clingy when he is with you. He doesn't speak that much but is very affectionate. Although there are times his mood suddenly switches to something cold but you just shrugged it of. He's just a human afterall.

You are gently running your fingers on the strands of his hair while watching the movie. He had his eyes closed but you know he is awake.

"Mikey?" You called for his attention in your smallest voice.

"Hmn?" He hummed but still had his eyes closed.

"Are you busy tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"There's somewhere i need to go. I'd assume you won't let me go out alone so..."

Mikey sat up and looked you in your eyes. "Where?"

"But if you're busy it's fine."

"I asked you WHERE."

You looked sideway to break the eye contact because his mood suddenly shifted.
