“Taka, relax. You don’t have to worry about anythin’.” Mondo tried to comfort the overly stressed man.

“But what if they don’t like me, Kyoudai?” Kiyotaka asked for the umpteenth time as he grabbed one of Mondo’s motorcycle helmet and put it on.

Mondo only grabbed a pair of sunglasses, which his boyfriend repeatedly told him was unsafe, but he continued to wear them out of habit. “Taka, I like you, enough to tell you that I love you. Don’t you think that matters the most?” Mondo said as he climbed onto his bike.

Kiyotaka balled up his fist, thinking hard about his boyfriend’s question. Yes, that definitely mattered. If Mondo hadn’t loved him, then they wouldn’t have become the couple that they were now. But what about his gang? What if his gang didn’t like him and convinces Mondo to break up with him. He didn’t want that at all. “Y-yes.” He climbed onto the bike, sitting behind Mondo. He wrapped his arms around Mondo’s torso for safety.

Right before Mondo turned on his motorcycle, Kiyotaka quickly said an “I love you,” in which he responded with grabbing his hand and placing a kiss on it for an “I love you too.”

No matter how many times Kiyotaka rode with Mondo, he would never get used to the scenery flicking by because of how fast they were going or the feeling of the air harshly going against his skin and clothes.

When they finally arrived at The Crazy Diamonds’ base, the two partners climbed off the bike. Mondo gently took off the helmet that his boyfriend wore. He kissed Kiyotaka’s forehead. “Stop worryin’, Taka. Just be yourself.”

Kiyotaka nodded and reached for Mondo’s hand, mentally scolding himself after realizing how clammy his hands were. He was a nervous wreck.

Walking into the base was an absolute nightmare. It was a mess everywhere you looked and no matter where you looked, somebody was fighting. This kinda reminded Kiyotaka of his boyfriend in a way.

Mondo noticed Taka’s eyes wildly scanning the room and he knew exactly what was going on in his head. He let out a sigh. “Stay right here.” He made his way to the middle of the room. “Oi!” He called for attention, which he immediately got, along with shouts of “welcome backs” and whistles. After they had quieted down a bit, Mondo crossed his arms. “What the fuck is all of this?! I thought we were fuckin’ gang members, not pigs!”

This immediately got the entire room buzzing to clean before they had made the former Ultimate Biker Gang Leader angrier, which surprised Kiyotaka on how they easily complied. He heard a whistle directed towards him and he saw Mondo motioning for him to come over. Once he had reached his lover’s side, Mondo had wrapped an arm around him, pulling him closer.

This had gotten everybody's attention and all the gang members slowed to a stop to look at the extremely close men. “Everybody, this is Ishimaru Kiyotaka. He is my boyfriend and I want you all to treat him with respect. Am I understood?”

God, why did he say boyfriend? What if they all start freaking out because their leader is dating a man?

Kiyotaka realized that he was shaking. He bowed out of both a habit and respect of meeting others. “It is a pleasure to meet you all!” Oh no, that was stupid wasn't it? There going to hate me! I'm so stupid!

To Kiyotaka’s surprise, they all started to cheer happily. He felt his eyes water and he felt Mondo kiss his cheek. “I told you. You had nothin’ to worry about, Taka.”

Mondo and Kiyotaka sat at a booth watching all the members doing their own thing. That was until a girl sat across from them. “Hi! I didn't mean to bother you two, but I was wondering if I could ask some questions.” Kiyotaka was ecstatic to have someone in the gang that actually wanted to get to know him, so he agreed.

The questions were simple. What do you do for a living? Are you an Ultimate too? Things like that. Kiyotaka answered all of her questions to the best of his abilities, which attracted the attention of others.

Kiyotaka was currently taking classes in college and was determined to be elected to be in the house of representatives, one of the first steps of maybe becoming the Prime Minister to fix his family’s name, but he earned daily money from being a teacher's aide at the moment. He also explained his former days as the Ultimate Moral Compass back in Hope’s Peak Academy.

Time had passed by quickly and before they had realized it, it was almost ten. The couple said their goodbyes and left the base. Once they had reached their home, they shared a kiss.

“Remember what I said, Taka?” Mondo asked.

“I had nothing to worry about.”

Mondo kissed his forehead as they made their way inside their apartment. “Right. Do you know how I knew that?” Kiyotaka shook his head . “Because they are my family who are exactly like me. If I love you, I knew that they were gonna love you too.” Kiyotaka smiled and hugged Mondo. “But nobody better be confessin’ their love to you!”

Kiyotaka laughed and kissed his boyfriend . “Don’t worry. I love you and only you, Mondo.”

See, there was nothing to worry about.
