AGENT CRYBABY (Discontinued)

Chapter 47: Awake

Deep in the night, reaching morning. Lying on the bed, he's chest rising and falling while asleep, but with a disturbance. Mikey was standing in a dark place, couldn't see himself or anything around him. He couldn't talk, move, he felt chained to the ground. Another nightmare?

Multiple figures of Takemichi was standing around him. Each figure staring at him angrily and disgustingly. They had bruises and cuts all over their bodies. They were screaming at him, filling his ears with guilt as Mikey was trying his hardest to block them out.

" THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT MIKEY! YOU DID THIS TO ME!"

" WHY DIDNT YOU DIE ON THE ISLAND! YOU DESERVE MORE!"

" I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOUUU!!"

" No..." Mikey whimpered frantically," Berserk said that he forgives me, and that he loves me. That's not true, your lying."

" YOUR THE ONE THAT IS BEING LIED TO! ONCE THEY'D RESCUE YOU, THEY WILL PUT YOU IN JAIL WHERE YOU BELONG!"

" WHO'D SAID I FORGIVE YOU?! YOU CAUSED ME SO MUCH PAIN! ALL THOSE TIMES, YOU HURT ME!"

" I know I hurt you and I'm sorry." Mikey whimpered. His voice was fading as in the outside world, he was sweating and grinding his teeth with tears coming down his face. Mitsuya and the other founding members, Emma, Minyan, and Daniel were hovering over him with concerned and panic.

" What is going on in your head Mikey?" Emma said while sitting next to him and raking his head. " It pains me to see Mikey like this. He's having another nightmare he won't wake up from." Draken mentioned hurtfully.

" He's température is rising. He's gonna get worse from all of this stress." Minyan exclaimed. Then the door opened, showing Takemichi in comfortable clothes. He's face was calm and collective, but he was serious. " I need everyone to leave the room. I know how to help him."

" What are you gonna do Takemichi?" Baji asked. Takemichi stepped towards the bed, sitting on while while giving everyone a comfortable smile, " Don't worry, he will wake up after this. Prepare some food while I'm busy. He's gonna be hungry when he wakes up."

Everyone looked at him softly, they sighed and started heading out the room one by one. Daniel was the last to leave, he looked back at Takemichi, who gave him an encouraging nod. Daniel closed the door quietly. All alone with Mikey, he was observing him. Exhausted physically and mentally. It pained his heart the more he looked. He laid on the bed next to him, and positioned his head next to him.

" Ok Mikey, let's take a look in your head." Takemichi said. He closed his eyes and was focusing on the lights in front of him. Moments later he was standing in a black space in his brain. He was walking around, his footsteps echoing all around him. After a while of wandering, he heard shouting and crying from afar. He's steps fasten, but they were more quiet. He got closer, he was shocked to see multiple figures of himself surrounding Mikey, yelling and screaming at him while he was in a ball, whimpering and crying.

More chains were covering him the more he was giving up, he kept mumbling, ' I'm sorry' numerous times while rocking himself. Takemichi became furious, he stomped towards the other figures who were startled to see him, and beat the crap out of each of them.

Mikey was still rocking and mumbling, not aware what's going on around him. Takemichi was out of breath once seeing the figures of himself fading away. He stepped towards Mikey, knelt down but was hesitant on touching him because of his shocked state. Takemichi wrapped his arms around him, Mikey was startled on this sudden presence.
