TWO

"Mikey" her voice comes out breathless

Mikey had somehow dragged Hanabi back to his place. It had been tough to even get her to sit behind him on his bike but eventually, she gave in. So now, Mikey was fighting back tears as finally, finally after 2 years he had her in his arms again. His Hanabi was back here with him. Now that he had her he wasn't just about to let her go. "Stay" he whispered against her throat and she shivers "Please don't leave me again"

Hanabi is in his lap, her hands gripping his shirt like she doesn't know if she wants to pull away from him or pull him closer. They're in his room, the door locked so no one comes in and interrupts them. Mikey would hate for anyone to ruin this moment. "Mikey... I..." She's barely able to get anything out when he bites down at her collarbone

Hanabi lets out a sigh and Mikey's chest feels so warm at the sound. Oh, he missed her. Mikey's hand goes up to the back of her head and unclips the black clip that is holding all her hair back, letting her hair down and throwing the clip to the side. His arms wrap tight around her waist, fingers digging into the bare skin of her waist and lips caress along the tattoo on the side of her neck. "Mikey" Hanabi finally can regain her composure and get him to pull away

Mikey looks at her like a kicked puppy, eyes watery with a look of utter desperation. "Please, Hana... Don't leave me again" his voice is breathy and it sounds like he's about to cry "I missed you so much"

Mikey is practically whimpering out his words now and he starts to cry. He missed her. There wasn't a day that went by he hadn't thought about her. God Hanabi hadn't even come to Shinichiro's funeral or her own brother's. She was nowhere to be found after getting discharged from the hospital and it tore Mikey apart. A year ago when he got the news from Draken about Amaterasu being revived he wanted nothing more than to find Hanabi again but they were too busy with the whole court case following his brother's death, the Yotsuya Kaidan situation and, Mikey was still too exhausted after losing his brother. There were a million things he wanted to ask her. A million things he wanted to say but right now he just wanted to hold her and hear the promise that she wouldn't leave him again. "Hana..." Mikey cries

It would be odd for anyone to see the great invincible Mikey crying to a girl like this. That too the leader of another gang. Hot wet tears run down his cheeks and he tries to pull her in even closer. "please, please Hana" He choked out, practically begging now "I don't wanna be alone... I need you and Emma... I can't do this anymore"

Finally, Hanabi's eyes look as they did when they were younger. Not the cold empty look she had on the entire time in the warehouse with the other around but that softer look. Something possessive and dark starts to stir in his chest. Now that he had her he wasn't going to let her go. Finally, her arms wrap around his neck and she hugs him. Mikey chokes out a sob and hugs her back tight. "Okay... I'll stay" she murmurs, running a hand through his hair

Mikey cuddles closer and holds her body even tighter. Oh, he was so happy. Mikey pressed kisses along her neck and coaxed her to remove her jacket. He wanted to feel more of her skin, he wanted to know if she'd changed at all over these past 2 years. "Hana" Mikey chokes out, digging his face into her neck

It felt so good to have her in his arms again. He wasn't going to let her go now. "I missed you" he whispers

Hanabi only hugs him even tighter. "I won't leave you again..."

It has always been easy for Mikey to get Hanabi to agree. Even when they were kids she had a hard time saying no to him. After two years it was no different. A few tears shed and Mikey got her to stay. Or not as close as he thought because hours later when they're laying in Mikey's bed, gang jackets discarded on the floor, Hanabi for once does not agree to something he says. "No"

"What? Why not Hana?" Mikey asks, shaking her shoulder a little "Come back to Toman"

They're lying on their sides facing each other. There is so much of Hanabi's skin exposed thanks to the skimpy little crop top she was wearing and Mikey thinks it's now his favourite. "Because I have my own gang Mikey" she tells him monotonously and Mikey groans

She said she was going to stay then wouldn't that mean she was coming back to Toman? "But you said you were gonna stay" he whines "That means you're coming back"

Hanabi rolls her eyes. "No, it means I'm not gonna disappear on you again. I said nothing about rejoining Toman"

Mikey frowns and easily pushes her to lay on her back and gets on top of Hanabi, settling to sit on her hips. He leans down and pouts like a child. "But you're mine. So you'll come back to Toman"

Her hands are on either side of her head and the position looks kind of submissive in Mikey's opinion. But the look in her eyes says otherwise. "No Mikey" Hanabi says and it's clear no amount of trying to convince her will make her come back

He grumbles curses under his breath and leans over her, getting their faces close together. One of his hands intertwines fingers with her and the other rests next to his head, holding himself up over her. "You're so pretty" Mikey mumbles

"You grew up well" Maybe a little flirting would convince her "Think you got prettier over these two years"

Mikey sighs when the look in her eyes never once changes despite the complaints and the flirting. Gone was the little girl that would blush at his compliments and taking her place was a mere shell. Hanabi wasn't the same as she was 2 years ago. She indeed did grow up well. Hanabi still had a bit of baby fat on her cheeks but she looked more mature if the way her body looked like was anything to go by. Mikey couldn't even believe that he had the self-control to keep his hands to himself after seeing how goddamn hot Hanabi looked. But other than the obvious changes like her hair, body and style, her eyes changed the most. Those icy blue eyes were empty, almost void of any emotion that wasn't rage. The bags beneath her eyes were dark and she looked exhausted. Mikey wonders if she was even sleeping of eating properly the time she was gone. "not rejoining Mikey" she says, free hand coming up to brush a strand behind his ear

They were always affectionate like this even as kids. Mikey liked being around Hanabi, holding her hand, hugging her out of nowhere. He was really sure they'd start dating or something when they got older but with the death of both their brothers, nothing happened. Mikey at some point gave up wondering when she'd be back and messed around a little with other girls. No one was like Hanabi though. Hanabi was Hanabi and there would be no one like her. He wonders if Hanabi messed around too. Something in the back of his head is telling him to find whatever guy she might have dated or done something within the past 2 years and kill them but Mikey ignores that intrusive voice and looks at her lips instead. "Hanabi..." he murmurs

As much as he wants to kiss her right now, Mikey knows he'll get accused of trying to seduce her to make her come back to Toman. So instead, Mikey rolls off her and lays back down next to her. "Stay the night?" he asks

Hanabi nods. "I'll go home and get my stuff"

She gets up and Mikey gets up as well. "I'll come too" he says

Hanabi shakes her head and turns to face him. Her hand comes up and cups his cheek. It's gentle the way she touches him. From the way she presented herself at the warehouse, Mikey could tell Hanabi hadn't been gentle with anyone like this in the two years she was gone. Was he the expectation? He hoped he was. "I need some alone time 'Jiro" she mumbles quietly, her thumb rubbing along his cheekbone

Mikey doesn't even stop himself from leaning into her touch. Fuck he missed her so badly. "Promise you're coming back?"

Hanabi nods. "Promise"

Sano Manjiro waited days for 858 days to see Higami Hanabi again. Now that he had her in his grasp he wasn't going to let her go. There were many things he wanted to ask and many things he wanted to say but for now, Mikey just had to stop himself from handcuffing Hanabi to him or from hiding her away from the rest of the world forever.

Higami Hanabi made his insides feel like they were about to explode. She was the only one his destructive hands hadn't hurt and he was firm on keeping her by him this time. Mikey wouldn't let her slip away this time no matter what.

Hanabi would be with him forever and always.

She belonged to him after all.

If the matching tattoos meant anything, she would always be his and he would always be hers.
