A Thousand Winters with You (Chifuyu x reader)

CHAPTER 3: GATHERING

I prepared myself for the Toman gathering tonight. I styled my hair the same way how Shinichiro-nii styled his hair when he was the leader of the Black Dragons. When he died, I dyed my hair black and cut it like his haircut just to remind myself that he will always be with me, with us. God, I miss him so much. To be honest, I have already forgiven the person who killed him because I know he didn't mean it. I wore the new uniform Taka-kun made for me. He made it look just like Mikey's uniform. The only difference is the collar is not standing up.

I'm Batman. I said to myself as I look at the mirror while imitating Batman's voice and pose. Before heading out, I grabbed my mask and rode my bike together with Draken and Mikey.

We have finally arrived at the shrine and I saw someone being picked on by two of our members. I realized it was Takemitchy and he's with Hina-chan so I signaled Mitsuya to stop them and he proceeded to approach them. I wanted to greet Hina, but I can't. I noticed Baji-san arrived as well and I walked to him until I saw Chifuyu approach him first. I was in front of them. Baji-san noticed me.

"Yo, [alias]-kun. Remember Chifuyu?" Baji grinned as he pointed to Chifuyu. What's up with him? I just nodded and didn't speak. Chifuyu bowed at me as respect since I am Toman's no. 3. The power I have hehe.

"[alias]-kun, wanna hang out with me and Chifuyu after the gathering?" Baji asked. I nodded again and didn't speak.

"You don't have to be that shy. You need speak at some point when you're with the gang." Baji is right. I always keep quiet and not uttering a single word whenever I'm with the gang. I only speak when I'm with my fellow founding members.

"Y-yeah..." I said in the most boyish voice I could make.

"Woah! That's the first time I've ever heard you speak!" Chifuyu said in an amusement. Can you stop that? You look cuter than ever.

"Maybe if we hang out more often, then you'll get to hear me speak more." I showed that I'm grinning with my eyes. He wouldn't see my mouth because I'm wearing a mask.

"I'm looking forward to that!" He said while bowing.

"Oi, you don't have to bow all the time." I said as I'm signaling him to raise his head.

"Chifuyu really looks up to you, but he looks up to me more."

"Really?" I raised my brow at them. Damn. I didn't know that he looks up to me. If only you know that I look up to you too, especially when I'm not in this get up.

Mikey signaled us to prepare for the gather and so we did. The other members lined up, while we, the leaders and captains, walked down the aisle as they greeted us while bowing.

Mikey was saying something in front when I noticed Takemitchy being picked on again, but this time it's Peh-yan and Pah-chin (haha PehPah pig— okay, I'll stop now). I looked at Mitsuya and he already knows what to do.

Poor guy. Always getting picked on.

Pah-chin was then called in front and Mikey's talking to him about the incident. My blood boiled when I Mitsuya told me about what happened, especially the on what the Moebius did to the girl. That is is so unforgivable. I will not let them get away with it. I was so lost with my thoughts until I heard Pah-chin shouting.

"I WANNA DO IT! I WANT TO BEAT THEM TO DEATH!"

"That's what I thought." Mikey calmly said.

"Anyone here thinks it's too much hassle to help out Pah's friend?"

"Anyone here stays chilled even though Moebius beat up Pah's friend?"

"Surely not, right?!" Mikey asked the whole gang and everyone chuckled, feeling excited to avenge our member, including me.

"WE ARE GOING TO CRUSH MOEBIUS!!!" Everyone shouted and raised their fist. We are all getting fired up for the upcoming fight.

"On August 3rd, during the Musashi Festival, we're going for battle!"

Everyone went home, except for us leaders, captains, and vice captains. We talked about our plan for the fight, and mostly, It is I who spoke because I'm giving out the information needed.

While I was listening to the others, I noticed the 5th division's vice captain staring at me. He is also wearing a mask like me and has long white hair. I didn't recognize him at first and even forgot his name because he is as quiet as a mouse. I tried remembering his name until I heard Mucho spoke.

"Sanzu, want to eat out after this?" Ah yes, I remember now. His name is Sanzu Haruchiyo. Thank you, Mucho. I always call him names because he gets on my nerves sometimes. I also tend to ignore and not look at him so that's why I always forget his face.

The meeting has ended, and Baji approached me.

"[alias]-kun, let's go to the convenience store."

"You go ahead to your bikes first, Baji-san. I need to let Mikey know." I then approached Mikey to tell him that I'm going out with Baji and Chifuyu.

I cleared my throat so I could return to my natural voice.

"Mikey, I'm—"

"Going out on a date with Chifuyu?" Mikey said while smiling. I punched his arm because why did he even say that?!

"No, I'm not. It was Baji who asked us out." Man, how annoying.

"Hahaha just kidding! Go ahead. Don't stay out too late." I waved him goodbye and left.

While I was walking to where Baji and Chifuyu are, I heard a rustling sound nearby. I was about to go check what or who it is, but I heard Baji calling for me. I cleared my throat and returned my voice to being boyish.

"Baji-san! I'm sorry for keeping you guys wait."

"Let's go, [alias]-kun! You know what will happen when Baji is hungry. We don't want to see a car getting set on fire." I giggled at what Chifuyu said and we drove to the nearest convenience store.

When we got inside, we saw Mucho and Sanzu as well.

"Yo, Baji-san and Chifuyu" Mucho greeted them. Baji just looked at him, but Chifuyu greeted him. He clicked his tongue and was about to leave when he noticed me and bowed before going to the other aisle. Chifuyu went after Baji so I was left with Sanzu. We just stared at each other for a while and he bowed his head to me then followed Mucho. He would always annoy me, but he is being respectful right now. As he should.

I looked for Baji and Chifuyu and saw them to where the peyoung yakisoba is located. Baji took one pack of yakisoba, while Chifuyu asked me which drink do I want.

"I'll just have a strawberry juice, thank you."

"Aren't you gonna choose something to eat?"

"Nah, I'm good." I said as I shook my head.

We proceeded to the cashier and paid, then went outside to eat—well in my case, drink my strawberry juice. Whenever I drink my juice, I turn around and make sure Baji is distracting Chifuyu so he wouldn't see my face.

Thank you so much, Baji-san!

"Huh? Since when did you finished your drink?! I didn't see you remove your mask!" Chifuyu was really surprised.

I'm sorry Chifuyu, I cannot let you know my true identity.

"You were so busy talking to Baji-san so of course you wouldn't notice." I said jokingly.

We then went home after eating.

-end of chapter 3-

Oya oya? I wonder what will be Sanzu's role in this story? A rival for Chifuyu? A cameo for my next story? Hmm

Also, I edited the thing about the uniform and some other details. I apologize for suddenly changing things.
