Baji Vs Mikey

Y/n's Pov

As soon as I had thought I had managed to calm Mikey down, he got mad again. The flipped switch made me clench my fists in frustration.

I don't understand why he keeps getting mad at everyone! These are his friends and they've been through a lot together. Why can't he just tell me why he is so mad at them?

"Hey Baji!" I shook my head as I turned with a smile to face my very loud friend and squeaked in shock when he stomped up to me , grabbed my hand, and began pulling me along like a wagon. I began to stutter as I tried to understand what was going on and tried to keep up with his large strides. "You..you mean right now?" He threw a smirk at me over his shoulder as he continued pulling me along. "But...Baji, it's like 9! Didn't your mom already make you dinner?"

"Yours is better." He muttered. The comment made heat rush to my face as a smile overtook my confused features before a hand reached out and yanked mine away from Baji's with such strength, I lost my balance and collided with a chest. I looked at Mikey out of confusion and couldn't help but look back and forth between the two men.

Mikey is doing that thing where I can't read what he is thinking, not that it matters since I can never understand anyway! But Baji is smiling.....So I want to think nothing is wrong, but....just in case...

"Um...I don't mind making it for both of you!" I finally spoke up, poking Mikey gently on his cheek. "I just didn't want Baji to get in trouble with his mother for not eating dinner. From what he's told me, she is really sweet, and I don't want her feelings to be hurt."

"You hear that Mikey? She's worried about me and my mom." Baji's comment made me move to look at him only to see him smiling at us, but somehow it felt wrong.

"Baji." I pulled away from Mikey and stood in front of Baji who looked down at me softly.

Baji's POV

He knew he was being a jerk to Mikey but he couldn't stand whatever it was that overwhelmed him when he thought of Y/n being around other guys. Even if they were his friends and she was clearly too stupid to realize that she had a large following.

Not stupid...She could never be stupid, but I don't get why she doesn't know! Chifuyu said it's called a scarem......wait, no....a HAREM! Whatever, I don't like it! What does she need? Someone to say it straight to her face?

He watched her come up to him and felt warmth flood his cheeks when she suddenly pointed a finger in his face. "Be nice to your friends, Baji!" He opened his mouth to give a defense but she cut him off and stood on her tiptoes. "NO, Baji!"

He felt his heart begin to race while this chick that's barely as tall as Mikey stood to tell him 'no' like he wasn't towering over her, a well-known delinquent, and intimidating enough that people would never dare to even think to do what she just did. He cleared his throat and gave a short nod in agreement. She beamed and motioned for them both to follow her.

"Let's just go to my place. I have everything I need to cook there anyway, so we don't have to spend money and can just enjoy ourselves." As he fell in step behind her with Mikey, both he and Mikey gave a silent agreement with a nod to be better.

Baji smirked once again as he looked away from Mikey and watched her practically skip back to her place in front of them.

I'll be better when she's around. Other than that...

Nope.
