always been you (Mikey x Draken)

chapter 8

Draken's POV

Here I am again, awkwardly standing at Mikey's door in the early hours. I sigh nervously and move my hand to the door bell.

After a couple moments, I'm greeted by a disheveled looking Sanzu, no mask for once. He gives me a big smile and I just ignore him.

"I need to speak to Mikey." I explain as he gestures me inside the apartment.

"You just here for seconds, huh, Draken?"

Seconds? What does he mean by that?

Looking at Sanzu's appearance, his lips are swollen and bright red. I can probably guess what happened and it makes me feel sick.

"Is he awake yet?"

"He recently got out of the shower, so he's definitely awake."

Perfect timing, I see Mikey come down the hall and his eyes go wide when they see me,"Ken-chin, why are you here?"

"I just needed to talk to you, please.."

"Oh yes, please upset him more, I'd like to get off again later."

"Excuse me?" I glare at Sanzu who's just grinning,"I suggest you shut the fuck up."

"What??" He jokingly puts his hands up defensively,"Everytime you make him sad, I get lucky, I'm just-."

"Sanzu, stop it.." Mikey hisses, trying to stop anything from happening.

Sanzu goes to speak again and I move forward and I punch him. God, is it so satisfying to punch this psycho. I see the blood start to pour from his nose, just like the last time I punched him.

He hits back, managing to connect his fist with my jaw. "Fuck.." I hiss in pain. I stumble back slightly but that's nothing to me, I go to hit him again but Mikey grabs my arm,"Kenny, stop.. Let's go talk, you don't have to do this." he pleads. I stare down at Sanzu's bloody face then to Mikey's pleading eyes. I can't refuse those.

I submit, backing down and keeping my eyes glued to Sanzu who won't wipe that damn smile off his face. Mikey goes towards Sanzu and tells him something before following me to head out the door. "Let's go to your place, I can't stand you two together." He says irritated, all Sanzu does is push my buttons.

"Mikey, we're here." I say with no response or movement from Mikey,"How the hell do you fall asleep on a damn bike??"

I sigh and manage to keep him against back, moving his arms to wrap around my neck instead of waist. I use one hand to hold him up as i take the key from my bike before I head inside. He's so light, even carrying him up the stairs is no hassle. It's been so long since I've had him on my back like this. As teens, I feel like everyone ended up carrying him at some point.

"Mikey, come on, we're at my place.." I place him down in my bed. I assume Chifuyu left a little after I went to Mikey's as his belongings are gone now.

Mikey makes a little noise, rolling over away from me, getting comfy into my blankets. Great, I finally got him over here alone to talk and he just wants to sleep. I sigh and go to leave the room to let him rest before I hear his quiet voice speak,"Kenny, stay here with me.."

Fuck. I can't ignore that. "Okay, okay, I'll stay here.."

I get in bed next him and open my arms for him and he moves over to lay his head against my chest. I wrap my arm around him and start rubbing his back softly. I know what I want now and it's to have this feeling forever. I can't let the guilt overcome me. I've got to reason with myself that being with him romantically won't ruin anything. I've always had to be the mature one between us but this is me being mature. And I want to be with Mikey. I hate the fact that he goes to others since he cant get what he wants from me. I can't imagine how he must've felt while I just ignored his feelings for so long because I'm just too selfish to accept my own feelings.
