— Oi, Ken, are you listening to me? — Even with Baji frantically snapping his fingers in front of him, Draken couldn't take his attention away from that extremely annoying and disturbing scene across the classroom. He was sitting in his seat next to Baji and both were talking calmly when he instinctively looked around for Mikey, who had stayed with them for a while before leaving to go after Hina and Yuzuha, but Draken hated what he found. Mikey was practically leaning over one of his classmates, some random boy that Draken didn't know the name of, but he already felt his fist boil and an immense desire to jump on his neck. Every time the boy opened his mouth to say something, Mikey laughed. The atmosphere between them seemed comfortable, but perhaps the negative energy that Ken started emanating was able to reach the group and he only noticed because Mikey turned his face and met his boyfriend's indignant gaze, having the audacity to give him a wink. How dare he? — Geez, if only a look could kill someone... — Baji sighed, giving up trying to get Ken's attention. — You don't have to stare at them like that, they are just talking, it's a normal thing.
— No, Mikey just wants revenge for what happened between me and Inupi.
— And what the hell happened between you and Inui?
— It was that night in the diner. — Ken started. — He kept rubbing his hand on my abdomen and saying other things, actually, he still has this habit, but he doesn't mean it, I think... Mikey gets mad about it, and now he's trying to make me jealous.
— How do you know it?
— Come on, he hates hugging and he is not that clingy with people who are not close to him. He only does that with me, and I've never seen him clinging to that guy who seems to have popped out of nowhere.
— Well, looks like he did it. — His friend's giggle made Ken roll his eyes. — Jealousy is hard to control, I know.
— What the fuck? — Draken blinked, looking at his friend. — I'm not jealous.
— Huh, you cannot lie to me.
— Shut your fucking mouth, Baji.
— But what if... — Keisuke ducked before a punch could hit him, still laughing at Draken's furious expression. The blond, on the other hand, took a deep breath and tried hard to ignore Mikey's presence, especially the fact that his hands were squeezing the other guy's shoulders. — Gross. — Ken heard Baji complaining, but decided to just ignore him too.
.
— I spent almost an hour looking for you in the school hallways, are you avoiding me? — Draken, sitting on the roof of the school, getting some fresh air, didn't need to put down the manga he was reading to know exactly who the owner of that voice was. His hurried steps indicated that he was not in a good mood, but it wasn't as if Ken minded. — Hey, Ryuguji, I'm talking to you. — Mikey kicked one of his legs. Draken grumbled, finally looking at the other.
— No, I'm not avoiding you. This place is practically ours, I'm here almost all the time.
— With me.
— Doesn't make any difference.
— Oh, really? — the shorter one crossed his arms. — Doesn't it also make a difference if you let someone else touch your body in front of your boyfriend?
— I knew it. — Ken threw the manga to the ground, getting up. Mikey ignored the height difference between them and didn't flinch. — You were trying to make me jealous, weren't you?
— Baji said it worked. It's good, isn't it?
— You are talking as if I am to blame for what happened! — he argued back. — Inupi started it.
— If you were a man enough and said you don't want him to do that then he would stop, you idiot. — Mikey punched the taller one not too hard in the chest. — And let me be clear, I wasn't there with that intention, I was just gossiping with the girls and accidentally caught your gaze so I decided to make fun of you. I am a great boyfriend, aren't I?
— You are pathetic.
— Well, I felt wonderful. Do you want to know why? — Ken nodded. — It is proof that I am the only one who can affect you like this, you got quite nervous, huh? — he laughed, stepping closer to the taller man's body, passing his arms around Ken's wide waist.
— It's not funny to do that on purpose to test your partner's feelings, you know? — Draken squeezed him. He couldn't keep his irritation with the younger one, even more so seeing the cute smile on his face. — You must understand that you only have this power over me simply because I love you so much.
— Oh, tell me more about it.
— I'm not going to feed your ego, Sano.
— Just admit that you were jealous, amor.
— Fuck, I wasn't jealous! — he replied, causing Mikey to burst out laughing.
