Mikey x that one guy from episode 9 (Ryohei Hayashi)

Chapter 1

POV: That random guy

I was running away from my bullies. They always do this to me! Why can't they just die!! I hate them so much!! "Get back here you brat!!!" I hear one of them scream at me. "Nah, bro!" I scream back at him. I run for as long as my legs can take me. I hope they just leave so I don't have to look at their ugly ass faces anymore.

POV: Mikey

My finger drags along the cracks in between the brick wall, I sigh, slowly walking with no purpose. 'What's the point? This is so stupid. I'm so stupid. What the hell is wrong with me? Why does everyone else around me seem to have so much of a better life than I do?' I think to myself over and over again about how much of a horrible person I am. I could have been so much better of a person if I just did what was right. 

BADDA BADDA BADDA

I avert my eyes from the dark and cold wall to up ahead, there I see a boy running towards me. 'How weird' I tell myself. Watching as he gets closer and closer, as he does so I feel even more annoyed. I was all in my moment and suddenly this weirdo just came out of nowhere and ruined it all! I clench my fist into a ball and swiftly approach him.

"Quit that, would you?" 

"Huh?" He asks while panting, I notice his confused gaze. 

"You're quite loud, running makes noise." 

"Geez, well sorry! I was getting chased down by a bunch of assholes! And I have to go cos they're like chasing me!" 

The panicked boy looks like he's actually telling me the truth, that makes him all the more pathetic. 

"You're weak."

He scoffs at me, -"I have to go! Move, man!"-, puts his hands on my shoulders and shoves me out of the way. My back hits the wall. I stare down for a moment until my eyes meet his. I glare up. 

"Fucking shove me again and you'll regret it." He looks down at me, nervousness starts to leave visible signs on his face yet he tries to remain all brave-like. Seconds later I shrug at him. "I would've helped you and maybe I still will."

He mumbles a question, "Help me with those guys?"

I nod "Sure, why not? I'm bored, you're loud." 

"Okay then. Let me show you where."

POV: That random guy

It was so strange, he was pissed one moment and all friendly the next, pick a side. Plus why would he help me? Wasn't he just threatening me? Nonetheless, I led him to where the boys once were. I slow down in fear. What if they're just lurking? Waiting. Why did I do this? Is this short man even capable? I don't know but I take him.

"Somewhere here," I mumble again bringing him to the street where it happened.

CRICK 

The sound of a twig snapping catches our attention, I start to really regret ever agreeing to this. We turn to face the noise. Big mistake. Someone grabs my arm from behind and yanks me. The blonde boy glances at me and just frowns. 

"Oh, you're back? And now you have help. Cos of course you can't do it by yourself!"

"Get away!" I struggle against him and kick him hard in the shin, as I do so the others go for the blonde, 'No way he can take all of them, I've got to get free and help!' I repeat to myself. Fighting back against two or three is easy but when it's a whole team at the same time, there's no hope, I've learned that it's better to just run away than even waste time and energy fighting a fight I know I can't win. All I have to do now is free myself and I can escape. I kick and punch the guy, I land some great blows and block him pretty well. I get the upper hand and begin beating him. I win against him and turn to go help the other one when I see things have already been taken care of. The boys ran off. He's just sitting there waiting like this is some damn show to him. "How long have you been waiting there?!"

"A while." He yawns at me. That just pisses me off even more than I already was. Who exactly does this kid think he is!!! 

"You were supposed to help me! You said you'd help!"

"I did." 

"You just watched!"

"No, you took one man I took all the others. Without me, you'd be dead at the bottom of a ditch or something." He got me there, but still, I believe he could've not been such a stupid fucking jerk about it. "So, what do I get?"

"Huh?" It takes a moment of thinking before it hits me, he wants something in return, of course! But what? "I don't really have much to offer ergo the bullying. Plus, you never mentioned I had to repay you, so what the fuck, man!" He just pouts slightly and looks around as if he's thinking to himself. I scoff, this actual cheating bastard. 

"How about you pay me back by joining my gang?" He looks up and tilts his head. 

"What? Me? Join your gang? You have a damn gang? What the hell, aren't you a kid?" 

"I'm 13,  I've gotta gang. And I want you to join. Tokyo Manji Gang or just Toman. I'll be your leader now." He sticks his hand up for me to shake. I furrow my eyebrows, 'Fuck you, NO!' is what I'd like to say, though I doubt he'll let that slide, this man just took down all but one of my bullies in less than 5 minutes! Reluctantly, I shake his hand just knowing I'll come to regret working with this dickhead. "There we go, now we meet up" he pauses, I still frown, geez I hate this guy, "tomorrow at the park at 11 PM."  I accept.
