Rising from the Ashes ‖ Tokyo Revengers

Chapter XLII

In the morning, Mikey arrived to accompany Amalie for a day out. With Wakasa and Kol heading to the gym, Amalie found herself with some free time at home. Grateful for the opportunity to go out, she eagerly joined Mikey for their plans.

Mikey stood outside Amalie's door, wearing a casual yet stylish outfit that showcased his signature tough-yet-cool demeanor. He had a soft smile on his face as he waited for her to join him. The morning sunlight highlighted his crimson hair, adding a touch of warmth to his usual tough exterior.

" Morning, Ama-chin. Ready to roll ?". Mikey said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Amalie grinned in response, feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation," Absolutely. Where are we headed ?".

Mikey just shrugged, his nonchalant demeanor not giving away any hints," Somewhere cool. You'll see".

She nodded with a smile. The two walked side by side, the morning breeze tousling Mikey's hair and playing with Amalie's locks. The streets were relatively quiet, allowing them to enjoy each other's company without any distractions.

They walked side by side down the quiet morning streets of their neighborhood. Mikey couldn't help but keep a playful closeness to Amalie, occasionally nudging her shoulder or stealing a quick glance.

" So, Mikey, any hints about our mysterious destination ?". Amalie asked, her curiosity piqued.

Mikey flashed a sly smile," Nah, it's a surprise. Trust me, you'll like it".

As they approached a park, Mikey suddenly grabbed Amalie's hand, pulling her towards a bench bathed in the soft morning sunlight. They sat down, and Mikey continued to hold her hand, his grip firm and comforting.

" Mikey, what's going on ?". Amalie asked, her cheeks flushing with a mix of surprise and excitement.

Mikey chuckled, his eyes filled with warmth," Just enjoy the moment, Ama-chin. I thought we could have a little quiet time before things get hectic".

Amalie couldn't help but grinning happily as she looked at him. The park was quiet, with only the distant sounds of birds and the rustling of leaves. Mikey gazed at Amalie, his expression softening.

" This morning was great," Mikey admitted, his gaze fixed on the horizon." Thanks for spending it with me".

" You shouldn't thanks me. I'm always happy to spend time with you". Amalie replied happily.

In the peaceful setting, with the gentle breeze playing with their hair, Mikey pressed a tender kiss to Amalie's forehead. It was a simple, heartfelt gesture that left Amalie blushing like a peony.

" Hey, shrimpy. Hands off a little". A voice interrupted.

Amalie looked up to see Kol approaching, Mikey pouting at the interruption.

" Hey, brother. Finished up with Wakasa ?". Amalie inquired, attempting to shift the focus.

Kol nodded, his expression thoughtful," Yeah, helped him out with some chores. Met a peculiar girl, too. She mentioned wanting to meet Wakasa's sisters since he talks about us a lot".

Amalie's curiosity was piqued," Really ? Who is she ?".

Kol shrugged, his memory failing him," Can't recall her name. Anyway, probably not important".

Mikey huffed, clearly disgruntled by the intrusion," You had to ruin our moment, huh ?".

Without warning, Kol lifted Amalie onto his shoulder, leaving her blinking with confusion.

" Ko-chin ! Bring her back !". Mikey demanded, sounding like a child throwing a tantrum. 

Kol, with an air of nonchalance, responded," Nah ! We've got something to take care of. By the way, I ran into Draken; he's waiting for you at your favorite restaurant".
