Thursday morning, I decided to give my buddy Jun a call. I wanted to find out what prompted him to push for the idea of tying my boyfriend to a chair and giving him a whole lecture and quiz about healthy relationships and how to treat your girlfriend right topics.
"Oh, come on Michi, you know me. I had no ill intentions towards your relationship, you're a smart person, so you must have figured that guy out, and know about his nasty personality. But if I haven't stepped in the other guys wouldn't let you enjoy your dating life... you know that right?" He did sound reasonable, but I had this nasty hunch that there was more to the story.
"Sure I can believe that, but there is something that is frankly bothering me."
"What is that?" Jun asked.
"We both know that those stubborn fools wouldn't step down so easily, have you said anything else to make them retreat for now?" I heard a nervous laugh, making me believe I hit the nail in the coffin.
"What is it that you're omitting from telling me exactly?" I questioned him.
"Suddenly I feel like I was caught by my own mother..."
"Jun..." I said his name in a serious tone, so he finally caved in.
"Look, I may have promised everyone in Toman that your relationship wouldn't last that long anyway because let's be honest most middle school relationships fall apart pretty quickly." I mean he was right, even in my previous life, I saw kids breaking up after a week or so.
"So what kind of estimated time did you give our relationship to last?" Because if Jun's foreseeable future didn't take place, the after-match could be even rougher.
"Like less than a month... Thing is no one is trusting this guy to have any noble intentions whatsoever, so I just assured everyone that if that is the case, you will figure it out yourself and dump his ass."
"Alright, I guess I got to thank you for not allowing them to beat him up to a pulp... but let's say that it turns out he does indeed like me, and there is nothing more to it... would you support me when no one else is?"
"Why wouldn't I?... But I think you could do so much better."
"Thanks, I guess." And then a mission arrived.
'Would you rather question Jun Honda about Haruchiyo Akashi or make a conversation about your boyfriend's good qualities?' Right, I wanted to know how it went with Sanzu.
"So did you give Sanzu any good hair tips?" I asked.
"Sure I did, was it perhaps your intention to introduce me to someone that was my type?" Oh, so he had some interest in the guy.
"More like, I thought you could annoy him in my stead. But considering you showed some interest in him... my plan failed."
"Well not really, I actually weirded him out by asking him to show me his abs so I could feel them, so it's your win I guess." I facepalmed, or should I have expected this outcome?
"Do I need to run you down some flirting techniques?"
"No thanks... this guy is already obsessed with you. Nowadays he is fully convinced you're working with Kisaki that's why you two are dating. And he stirred some commotion yesterday, preaching that he saw it coming."
"So I was nice and merciful, helped him out when he was sobbing about something as trivial as hair, and he dares to make some conspiracy theories about me?" I was ready to smack him for this betrayal.
"Don't worry though no one believes him anyway."
"You better not go around telling him his delusions are real to get on his good side, do you understand?" I wouldn't tolerate anything of such.
"You caught me, I was considering it at first, but after sitting thru a five-hour rant about you, I never want to relive this experience again."
"Wait what did he even say to you?" I asked being curious how far gone this individual was.
"Listen, he tried to proclaim you were going to hold a battle royal between all the guys you seduced so they could win your heart, but in reality, you would ask Mikey to be present and have all the contestants beat him up instead and that's how you would snatch the title of the number one gang leader in all of Tokyo."
"Sorry what?" I was perplexed by his vivid imagination.
"I don't even know, I'm fully aware you rather spend your time lazing on a couch than whatever this mad plan is... but gotta admit he looks kind of sexy when he goes on his rants." From my perspective, he probably just looks like that bloke that tries to reason with you in an aggressive manner meme.
"Sorry Jun, but he sounds far too gone... maybe it would be safer for you to get interested in someone else."
"Do you really want to advocate for me, when you're together with that guy that looks like he is scheming something evil 24/7?"
"Nah, he only looks like it when he smirks which is quite an uncommon practice when he's with me... but I get it... how about it, if I ever whiff out something is not right, I will immediately break up with him. Actually, from the start of this relationship, I have been thinking this is the last chance I was willing to give him, if he screws it up there be no more going back." Of course, that didn't include things like disagreements regarding the relationship.
"I knew you were a reasonable person, I wasn't sure why the other guys were even slightly worried." Maybe they thought I let myself get manipulated?
"Anyway gotta go eat breakfast see you at the meeting today." I nodded and looked at the printed paper resting on my desk, nestling it inside my bag.
When I reached the school grounds a unique mission popped up.
'Would you rather act like a spoiled princess or act like a gentleman towards your boyfriend?' So I either send out my boyfriend on errands or go around opening him doors and pushing in his chairs? Both sounded fantastic, but I settled for the second option.
Once I entered the classroom I saw him sitting already at his desk, so I kneeled beside it, took a hold of his hand, and planted a kiss on it softly.
"Stop it! That's embarrassing."
"Worry not my fair maiden today I will accompany you on your journey." I stood up, but Kisaki took ahold of my shirt and pulled me closer.
"Yes?" I asked taken aback by his roughness, he hasn't acted like this for a while.
"Knock it off whatever you're trying to pull right now." I never expected him to explode like this, but considering how close our faces were I figured it all out and gave him a peek on the cheek.
"If you wanted a kiss you could have said so. You have to communicate what you want I can't always tell what's on your mind." I winked at him, it seemed like all his anger suddenly evaporated.
During the break, I saw him leave his seat, so I rushed to the door to open it for him, he was taken aback but didn't say much. So when he stepped his foot out of the classroom I decided to follow him.
"I'm on my way to the bathroom, leave me alone." I nodded my head but had no intention of taking his advice.
"I will be so kind, and help you open all the doors."
"Even to the stall?" He questioned, I agreed showing my determination but got my forehead flicked instead.
"Do you think I want my girlfriend to be known as a pervert throughout the whole school, from my perspective I'm the only one that needs to be aware of this, just go back to the classroom." He was looking out for me? And called me his girlfriend without showing off to some guys? Once again my hubby made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, so I proceeded with his request, touching my cheeks in the progress feeling some heat radiating off them.
At lunchtime I was about to put out my food, but it seemed like Kisaki wanted to eat somewhere else, he guided me to the club room, and I thought his idea was brilliant. No one could disturb us in here, why haven't I thought about eating here before? However, when we started consuming our food I couldn't feel but wonder.
"Are you taking precautions against me showing some PDA in our classroom?"
"I just thought in here I can give you more attention that you were seeking out from me because that's what this was all about since morning started wasn't it?" Was I bothering him more than usual? Yet I could see why he arrived at such a conclusion.
"Maybe~" I tried to be suspicious as possible, finding it funny.
Once he was done eating he sat on the sofa and asked me to sit on his lap, was this him offering some cuddles? Sweet.
"You can't go back now~" I warned him and made myself comfortable.
And when we returned back I truly felt more excited, knowing it wasn't the only one making moves.
When school finished it was time to head to Roppongi, for our squad meeting, we were supposed to figure out which gang to take care of so we could make a spot for Pah-chin as a captain of Toman.
As soon as I spotted Ran I whipped out the paper I printed out yesterday and handed it over to his hands.
"D-divorce papers? Honey, you can't do this to me, what about our son? Please don't leave me, I love you, forget about the bastard that stole your heart, I can do so much better." I just stood there awkwardly not knowing how to react, but in the end, concluded to join his theatrics.
"Sorry I can't, it was perhaps never meant to be, forget me, find someone else that will treat you better Ran... we are over." He fell to his knees and yelled.
"NOOOO!!!" He sounded so devastated it could fool any passerby that we were truly breaking up.
"I already signed the papers, goodbye."I was about to leave, mostly to start our scheduled meeting, but Izana mentioned he had something important to discuss and dragged me away to the side.
I was aware of the fact, that he may have not taken the disbandment of the harem too well. I was about to rise this concern but soon was cornered to the wall. This twisted look of his returned back to his face making me gulp, and I who thought we were already past this stage, did reconnection with his siblings not help his mental state at all?
"I will not mind you adding another person to the harem however, you better never mention the disbandment of the harem ever again, are we clear?"
"Izana... I think-" I was cut off by him placing his hand on my mouth.
"Don't, or would you want me to break that guy's legs for stealing you away from me?" I wasn't expecting him to threaten me.
There were two options I had now, either keep the harem running till I get stronger so I could protect my man, or ask Mikey for backup? But I didn't want to speed up the Tenjiku fight.
"Sure let's add him to the harem." He just smiled while adding.
"Good decision." It seemed like he needed more therapy sessions, I just hoped Kisaki would be understanding of my decision.
So once we started on the meeting I asked our members for their opinions on which gang would be easier to strike with our manpower, yet wasn't there one gang that was defeated by Izana before? The one with the fat guy? Maybe we could target him?
"Wasn't that guy at the Valhalla fight?" Kazutora pointed out as I agreed on seeing him watch the spectacle.
"So how do you want to proceed with the attack?" I gave it some thought and decided on the most eccentric approach.
"We set a time a place, and write it down on a letter... but hear this out... we decorate it so it resembles a love letter and put it inside his school locker." Some people looked around questioning my sanity, but Jun was quick to express.
"Love it!" And so we proceeded, even declared war by making it sound like a poem.
