It was too much for Mikey.
His whole world is black, including his heart.
He has trouble sleeping, eating... Smiling...
He hasn't been happy for over a decade now.
And the Bonten executives noticed that.
They might be criminals, but they can still w...

"You have all day to eat this one" Y/n smiled at Mikey. "Just small steps and if you are able to eat this by the end of today tomorrow I will do someone's paperwork, you can choose whose work I will take. I know you like it when I shut up because of the amount of work I have, so I will do just that."
Today Mikey sat at his desk when Y/n put down a small bento full of omurice. Mikey was sure if he only would get one hour for it he would not eat it. As much as he likes omurice his body just doesn't accept a full plate of food. And he would for sure not eat it just because Y/n told him to.
But he accepted the deal, because he wanted to give more work to her. He wanted to make her suffer with all the work he will give her, maybe she will quit that way. And Mikey wants her to quit, he doesn't need help. He knows he's fine.
But he just can't seem to decline the food from Y/n anyway. She has been his assistant for two months now, and three months since Kakucho hired her.
It's been way over a month since he told her he likes omurice. And today she brought him homemade omurice.
His body finally got used to eating more and more each day, even tho those were just snacks. But he was able to eat almost as much of it as he did twelve years ago. It was an achievement.
And today he accepted to try and eat one full meal during the day. Small steps, and there's still a lot for him to go. But he just can't seem to tell Y/n again that he is fine.
Not when she made omurice at home to make sure it's made good enough for him to be able to eat. Not when she smiles at him like a mother would at her child. Not when her eyes shine at him as if she's looking at the stars. Not when her voice is so gentle with him as if he would break and fall apart anytime.
He doesn't know what she's doing to him, but just her presence is enough to make him want to try. He might think he doesn't need help, but he is still allowed to try whatever she tells him to.
"Do you like it?" Y/n asked with a huge smile as Mikey took a bite of the omurice.
"It's edible" Mikey answered as he continued eating.
"Better than nothing" she laughed. "After you eat maybe you could try sleeping a little."
"No" he answered without hesitation.
"Why?" she asked as she sat down on Mikey's desk, beside the bento and Mikey. "Your eyebags are big enough to go shopping with."
"Are you seriously insulting me?" Mikey glared at the girl.
"I'm just telling you that you need sleep" she answered.
"I don't. I'm not sleepy" he said as he continued eating.
"Just try it. I will read something for you."
"I'm not a kid."
"It wouldn't hurt to try tho" she looked at Mikey with puppy eyes, and as much as he wanted to say that it's not working he just can't do that.
