Dumb World

Strawberry milk

With a quiet yawn Takemichi looks through the lined up Toman rows, he just stands with all of the other Captains on the stairs and they do the same to him, looking at the individual troops. If he were honest, he would much rather lie in his bed and sleep right now. Sleep has just become a complicated thing since Draken and Mikey turned his whole life upside down.

Even worse, he was one of the people who had the most power in this gang, even though he hadn't known everyone for that long. All the leadership positions were held by his childhood friends. Then he was there, something that does not fit into the picture. At the beginning, this was not popular among the normal members, but at the end of the day, no one would dare to raise their voice against the invincible mikey.

And that all the other perosnen in the upper positions like him, that plays takemichi even more into the cards. But inside Takemichi is this fear, this knowledge that his word has a high opinion in Mikey's ears and also a higher opinion than all the others. Draken his word is maybe will be more important but it never came that he had to compete with Draken in this sense, because the two are very often of the same opinion.

"So guys with that this conflict..." automatically Mikey's his voice fades out of Takemichi's head. He just talks about how the last fight with another gang was their victory and now it's over. The same talk as every time. But he has to admit, Mikey shines in this role, he looks like he is born for this role. Everyone here will always stays in Mikey's shadow...

"Takemicchi" Mikey's voice sounds right next to takemichi, making him flinch. Oh, had he missed the speech completely? "Where are you with your thoughts?" It always makes the blond nervous how much Mikey focuses his gaze on him, as if he wants to absorb every detail. But this is something takemichi has noticed about everyone, Mikey always looks at people very intently. Sometimes it's a little creepy, but no one addresses denn blond on denn look. Understandable, they would probably get a punch in response.

"I'm just a little tired Mikey" he mumbles and now turns his gaze to Mikey. When takemichi holds his hand in front of his mouth a moment later and yawns softly again, the president squints his eyes briefly. "Just tired?" Takemichi grumbles briefly in response and then Mikey lets him go. "Good" As Mikey stretches takemichi can't help but watch him. He would like to ask him so many things but he doesn't like to talk, he is a closed mystery. Mikey seems so close and yet so far at the same time. Sometimes it drives Takemichi crazy.

"Takemichi" Both boys look to the small group of captains "Would you like to go to the public bathroom?"

After a moment's thought he nods. "Yes, I have nothing better to do" actually he would rather like to sleep but the disappointment he would see in his friends eyes keeps him from saying no.

"Yipie!" Mikey is happy and goes to the others and takemichi also joins them after a short smile.

On the way to the public bath, the guilt gnaws too much on Takemichi, what if he overheard something important during Mikey's speech? Automatically he looks to him. He and Draken are talking happily. He is the last one in the small group. Normally Mikey, Draken and Takemichi run in the front but Takemichi was totally tired and wanted to slow down. Mikey had automatically adapted and now also runs far behind. The three are almost always together, they lead the gang after all. Mikey, Draken and Takemichi.

"Mikey?" Takemichi then tries to get his attention but Draken and Mikey are too engrossed. So Takemichi decides to postpone it to a later time, time is not running away after all.

But after they end the topic Draken lets his voice Takemichi turn his attention to the two. "Takemichi wanted something from you" Mikey's eyes grow wide and immediately he matches the young one in speed. "What's wrong?" He feels Mikey's gaze on him and swallows a little. He knows this fear is irrational but still. "Did I miss something earlier? When I was gone like that" Mikey seems to catch on quickly. "No" he laughs, patting the slightly larger man on the back. "God, that's why you're making that face?" Pouting slightly, takemichi looks away, hating it when people make fun of him... but with Mikey, it's tolerable.
