"Kazutora! Kazutora!"

He could tell the voice was yelling, but it sounded muffled and distant to him.

"Kazutora! Wake up!"

He felt someone shaking his shoulders. He just wanted to rest a little more.

"Kazutora! Open your eyes!"

He blinked them open, slowly taking in the light. It was blurry at first, but when his eyes finally focused, he saw Y/N crying over him.

"Kazutora! Are you okay?" she asked frantically.

"I think so," he said. His head was throbbing a bit and he could feel a spot near his temple that he knew would turn into a huge bump, but other than that, he was fine.

He slowly began to sit up on the sand, and Y/N threw her arms around his neck.

"I was so scared," she sobbed on his shoulder. She couldn't stop crying, and Kazutora felt a little guilty for being so happy that she was hugging him. He pulled her closer by the waist and hugged her back. He was also relieved that she was safe.

"I'm fine, okay?" he said, pulling away so he could properly look at her face. She was still crying, and he used his hands to wipe the tears from her cheeks. "I'm really all good. This is nothing."

"He's right," a voice said. "He's gotten beaten up way worse before."

Kazutora looked past Y/N to see Mikey smiling down at them. Behind him were Takemichi, Draken, Baji, Chifuyu, Mitsuya, and Pah-chin.

"Right?" Baji added. "Remember when 100 guys were after him?"

"You guys," Kazutora said slowly, "what are you guys doing here?"

"Idiot," Pah-chin said, "if you had been listening in our meetings, you'd know that we had planned a beach trip together weeks ago. Which means you fucking ditched us."

"Oops," Kazutora smiled cheekily. Y/N released her hug and got up beside him. She outstretched her arm and beckoned him to grab her hand.

"Can you stand?" She asked.

"I can," he said as he took her hand and she helped pull him up.

They stood facing each other but kept their gazes down. Kazutora felt bad about taking her somewhere where she could've gotten hurt, and Y/N felt bad about not being able to help him on her own. They wanted to let each other know they were okay, but before they could speak, Mikey's stomach broke the silence with its grumbling.

This lightened the mood, and everyone started chuckling.

"I'm so hungry," Mikey said. "We were on our way to get monja when we saw you, Kazutora. Why don't you guys join us?"

Kazutora looked at Y/N, not sure how she would react to this. He didn't know if she would feel intimidated or scared dining with delinquents. But she's been with me all this time, right? He thought, Maybe I'm overthinking?

Y/N looked at him and smiled. "I'm hungry, too," she said to him.

"Are you sure you're okay with...getting monja?" he asked.

She nodded, and Kazutora turned to the guys to address them. "We'll follow you there!"

They all got on their bikes, with Y/N riding behind Kazutora, and they took off as one gang riding together.

"What?" Pah-chin asked with his mouth wide open, "You've never tried monja?"
