MY PRETTY || Tokyo Revengers

"You're... strangely familiar." Baji muttered.

"Really?" you laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of your head lightly. "I mean, everyone here's been telling me that when we first meet. Kinda weird..."

He continued to stare at you, as if he was trying to put together a picture he couldn't quite see. You weren't backing down though, maintaining eye contact with him.

"Sit," Chifuyu said, finally pulling Baji's gaze away from you and standing up, allowing the dark haired male to slide into the seat directly across from you.

Haruchiyo slithered an arm over your shoulder, pulling you into him before leaning down a little so his mouth was right by your ear. "You alright?" He asked softly.

Baji watched the two of you closely, something about the way Haruchiyo was touching you bothered him for some reason, and he couldn't seem to figure out why.

"Mhm," you replied. "Why do you ask?"

"You guys were just staring at each other, kinda freaked me out a little bit." He laughed softly, leaning back.

"So, Y/N." Chifuyu called as you looked to him. "We all heard about you beating up some big burly guy that harassed Emma, are you in a gang?"

"What makes you think that?" You asked, tilting your head a little.

He shrugged. "With those skills, there's no way you're not in a gang."

You smiled a little. "Yeah, well, you got that right."

"Really?" His eyes widened as he looked at you in awe. "What gang are you in?"

You lifted a finger to your lips with a smile. "It's a secret."

"No way! You gotta tell us Y/N!" Chifuyu exclaimed. "I'll die of curiosity!"

You shook your head, laughing a little. "Sorry, Chifuyu."

He whined a little, sulking in his seat as Haruchiyo snickered, amused, his arm still around your shoulders.

"Aren't you a little too comfy there, Haru?" You raised an eyebrow, looking up at him.

He gave you a cheeky smile. "I am comfy actually. You're a good armrest."

You scoffed, rolling your eyes. "Of course you'd say that."

"Everyone! Emma's coming!" Senju yelled, hushing all conversations as everyone stood from their seats, gathering by the entrance and getting ready to welcome the birthday girl.

You saw them from a distance with Mikey holding Emma by her shoulders, gently guiding her toward the restaurant with a blindfold over her eyes. He spotted you at the front of the crowd, grinning and giving you a small wave to which you smiled in return.

Soon, Emma reached the front and Mikey took off her blindfold, everyone yelled 'Surprise!' altogether as she jumped a little before a smile grew on her face at the sight of everyone.

"You guys..." She smiled, greeting everyone. "Thank you!"

As soon as she saw you, she immediately squealed, rushing over and greeting you with a tight hug. "Y/N you're here too!"

"Of course, I wouldn't miss your birthday for the world!" You smiled before handing her two paper bags. "Happy birthday, Emma!"

"Thank you!" She beamed, taking it from you gratefully.

You excused yourself from her presence, not wanting to hog her from her other friends as you returned to your seat, only to find Baji sitting in the table alone. You sat across from him, offering him a friendly smile that he didn't even bother returning.
