37: He's not ok

                                    

                                          
The next day I woke up with a sound from my phone, I checked it. It was a text from Ken. 
Ken:
I have news, Osanai's alive and getting better
Me:
Nice, now Pah can get release soon
Ken:
Not soon, he have to be there for a year!
Me:
Shit...poor Pah
Ken:
...we go for a visit today with Pah's family, wanna tag along?
Me:
Yeah, love to
We went to the place, but they wouldn't let us in, just family members. So we wait outside for his family to go and visit him. Ken brought gift for Pah, and I took some sweets from Ma's shop. Mitsuya was also with us. 
"You guys didn't need to bring so much stuff" Pah's mom told us. 
"You're good friends for my son"
After that Mitsuya take us to some other Toman's members, who were gathered around to make a plan on how to get Mikey and Draken make up.
"What the fuck's going on here?" Ken asked with a loud voice.
"Cause of your choice Toman's tearing apart! We heard about the deal and that you're against it"
"Shut up" Mitsuya told them off.
"It's what Pah wants, you jackasses!"
One guy tried to punch Ken from the back, but I take his hand, hit him in the stomach and another hit on his neck and the guy was out. 
"If you wanna hit Ken, you gonna have to go through me" I yelled. 
"Atta boy! You're my apprentice after all" Baji approached us from the side, while clapping. 
"You're dead-meat Master!"
"Sam! You shouldn't discuss private matters in the public!"
"Shut it"
He turned towards the members, "you have dead wish? Toman's decided to not take the deal, end of story! Pah-chin choose this himself the minute he stabbed Osanai! and it's not either Mikey's fault nor Draken's."
"Yeah...you should respect Commander's decision" Mitsuya added. 
"Then go home...scram" Baji yelled, then he came to me. 
"I swear to god it wasn't me!"
"Who was it then?"
"Mikey! He did that with his invisible kick, I swear"
"What happened?" Ken asked, followed by curious Mitsuya. "They stayed at my place yesterday and they trashed the punching bag!"
"I swear it wasn't me"
"Takashi? Wanna hangout?" He look at me in shock, cause I asked him out of blue and in front of Baji. 
"Why Mitsuya? When did you guys get so close?" Baji asked.
"None of you fucking business Kei, just go away, I'm not talking to you"
"You rude little shit! You need a beating, don't you?"
Then Ken walked to his bike to run away, "not so fast Ken! You gotta stop this bullshit with Mikey!"
"I don't wanna do anything with that shrimp anymore!"
"Are you a kid?"
"He's..."
"I know but I can't see him like this, and I don't want Toman to break apart! Please make up with him, yeah?"
"No..." 
I looked at Mitsuya, he was silent, which means a No for hanging out question. 
"You boys're all asshols!"
I start my bike, and left them behind.
...
I saw Mikey's motorcycle when i arrived home, and I saw him in the shop. But I went inside the house, I don't want Ma to see me dressing outside like a boy! I went to my room and change into something comfortable, and when I came outside I saw Mikey standing in front of my room. "What's it?"
"Where were you? dressing like a guy"
"I was on a date with Takashi"
"Are members fighting over decision we made the other day?"
"Yeah, if you know why're you asking?"
"Mitsuya told me, I just like your answers!"
"Go get yourself a fuck"
"And how's that gonna help?"
"Help you to get over your shit and back to Toman"
"I'm over my shit"
"I can see that" I walked to the kitchen, and start taking out ingredients to make food. 
"What're you doing? You can't even cook"
"I'll try at least..."
Then he turned and went to the living room. I know I'm mean to him, but I just don't want to see the family he was talking about breaks, and I know he would regret all of this later.
Ma came home some time after I decided to make food, and she was horrified when she saw the kitchen. 
"didn't I told you, you don't need to make food butterfly? If you were hungry you could just find something from the fridge"
"I made a disaster again, didn't I?, I'm sorry" I said with a sad face.
"I told her!" Mikey was standing in the doorframe.
"You just go sit with Manjiro, I will make food for us"
"Thanks Ma, your the best" and I give her a kiss on the cheek. Then we went and sit on the couch. "Was that a fuel for Ma? Can I have one too?"
"Mikey?! Do you wanna die?"
"Of course not, I need energy to survive you know!" he lean back on the couch.
After dinner Smiley called me, and I went to basement to answer, cause Mikey was sleeping on the couch after eating. 
"Yo Sam, wanna hangout?"
"Yeah, sure, who's gonna be there?"
"A lot of people, mostly Toman's Cap, we thought we should help Mikey and Draken make up! But we need your help"
"That's a good idea, I'm in. What should I do?"
"Bring Mikey to Musashi Shrine, and we'll bring Draken, at 7"
"Ok! That's easy"
"Nice, see ya"
...
I decided to get ready then wake up Mikey. It was around 6 in the evening and it was still one hour left, so I took a shower, and put on a black skinny jean, a large black t-shirt, and I went to wake Mikey up. 
"Hey, Mikey? Wanna go for a ride?" He was laying down on the couch and putting his arm on his forehead to block the light. 
He's been like this since Pah's incident, he's not ok. He's sad, tired, doesn't want to do anything and worst of all he doesn't want to talk. I think he still blame himself for what happened.
He then slightly opened his eyes.
"where to?"
"I don't know, riding around?" I looked away, in case he would get I'm lying. 
"Don't you wanna give me fuel?"
"Nah, I don't have it myself... lets go, yeah?"
"Ok, be up in a second" then he covered his eyes again. 
I put on a caps, then went out.
"wanna ride with me or with your bike?" Mikey asked, looking at me while pushing back his hair. I asked him if he want me to tie up his hair, like the way Ken does, but he said no! I guess he miss Ken. 
"No, I want to ride your motorcycle, can I?"
"And what about me?"
"You sit behind me" he looks at me for a second, then node with his head, "whatever, lets just go"
