Bandmates [Ishimondo!]

Uh oh, feelings

(Author's note! There will be smoking in this chapter. And yes, I took the title from Sanders Sides, fight me)

Mondo stood outside the warehouse, cigarette in mouth. He was waiting for the rest of the band to show up for practice. He was just scrolling through his phone, not really paying attention to anything else.

"Mondo Owada!!" Mondo heard a voice shout, well more of scream, his name. He looked over to the source of the noise and saw none other than Ishimaru Kiyotaka.

"Oh hey Taka. Why ya shouting?" He asked confused. The smaller boy walked over and snatched the cigarette out of Mondo's mouth, catching him off  guard.

"I've told you many times to stop smoking, Mondo! It's not good for your health!" Taka scolded, throwing the cigarette on the ground and stepping on it.

"Ugh, I know, I know. I promise I'll try to stop, Taka." Mondo answered, scratching the back of his neck.

"That's what you said last time! And that was only last week!!" Taka shouted. Mondo didn't know why he was so riled up about this. Sure, he was usually pretty good at making sure everyone was okay and well, but he never got like this though. Just then, Mondo saw Leon and Hagakure walking towards them, talking. He saw that Leon was blushing a bit, and he already knew why. They finally made their way to them. "Sup guys." Hagakure greeted, Leon still giggling slightly at something. "Ready for practice?"

"Why of course we are!" Taka replied, seemingly excited.

"Let's head inside then." Hagakure said as he walked inside the warehouse, Leon following behind. Mondo started walking but was stopped by a hand grabbing his own. He blushed and looked back at Taka, who was looking up at him already.

"Mondo, can you please promise me you'll at least try to stop?" He asked, his ruby red eyes glimmering with hope.

"I-I... I promise Ta-taka." Mondo replied. He had no idea why he was stuttering.

"Great!" Taka chirped. "Thank you, Mondo." He patted Mondo's head, having to stand on his tippy-toes to reach, and walked inside.

Mondo just stood there for a little while. He missed the warmth of Taka's hand. He didn't know why though, he didn't know why his heart was beating faster either, or why he was blushing in the first place. He tried to shake those thoughts from his mind as he walked in, although one stayed...

Did he really love Taka?
