Always & Forever (Mikey x reader)

CHAPTER 33

It's been few days since the sudden appearance of Izana. Amidst those days Tenjiku attacked Toman members when they were alone or in a small group. Y/n had her thoughts as to why Izana attacked Toman but she was not so sure. She had visited those who were ambushed and was very upset as they all had bruises on their faces. Everything was getting messy and out of hand. Mikey was stressed and you can see it clearly but decided to let him calm down on his own.

"Shin! Go wake Mikey for me!" Emma said while preparing breakfast.
"It's okay!! I'll go and wake him up. You all can start eating breakfast." Y/n stood up from her seat as she went to their bedroom. Mikey was already awake and was wearing his clothes.
"Manjirou! It's time for breakfast." You walked to him as you moved his hair away from his eyes. Mikey leaned to the touch as he closed his eyes.
"Yeah. I was just coming down you didn't have to climb the stairs just to call me."

Y/n and Mikey went to the dining table and sat down on their seats.
"Morning, Granpa and Shin." Mikey greeted as he started eating. "Emma, I told you I like my fried eggs with the yolk side down." Mikey complained as you and Shin just sighed at him.
"Do it yourself. You wake up so late and don't even help in preparing breakfast." Emma shoot back as her eye twitch from annoyance.

"Eat your breakfast in silence, you two." Shinichiro said as he kept eating his breakfast. Suddenly the door bell rang and Emma blushed already knowing who it was.
"Emma go and open the door you seem eager to stand up." You teased and she became bright red as she stands up going to open the door.
You stood up after finishing your breakfast as Emma came in to finish the food she left.

"Finish your breakfast. I'll go to keep them company." Mikey nodded his head and you went to the living room they were at.

"Good morning Ken-kun and Take-chan."-Y/n
"Morning Y/n-chan."-Draken/ Takemichi.
"So are you two here to talk about something?" Y/n asked sitting down.
"Yeah. Something that happened recently." Draken replied and Takemichi was quite nervous. Mikey came out the dining room and sits down on the long couch as Draken starts arranging his hair.

Takemichi and Draken were talking about Tenjiku and Izana as you listened to them carefully.
"I see...Izana Kurokawa. It's the guy who approached me." Mikey said as he had a thinking expression.
"Oh. So you met Izana? He's cool right?" Y/n spoke up smiling softly and the boys eyes widened.
"You...know him?" Takemichi asked and he seemed the most surprised one and also a little scared.

"I haven't told you all yet right? Izana..I met him when I was a little kid. We're close but he suddenly disappeared 6 years ago. Since then I've not met him except he showed up infront of me a few days ago when I went to Yokohama. He even introduced me to his friends." Y/n exclaimed as she look at the three boys.
"Then do you know anything about him?" Takemichi asked again.
"He's very weird? I guess. He's also pretty cool but he gets mad easily. When we first met he was wary of me but warmed up slowly. All in all he is great." Just when you finished talking Shinichiro came to the living room.

"Hey guys!! Make yourself home. I'll get going to the shop." Shinichiro said as he walked away. You stood up from your seat to help Emma prepare the snacks. You saw Emma already preparing the tea and the snacks as you walked up to her.

"Let me help you Emma." Y/n said as she lean against the kitchen counter.
"Hm? It's not much of a work you can go back to the others." Emma smiled softly at you.
"It's fine. I'll wait till you finish and the boys are talking about something serious anyway." Y/n said as she sat on the stool. After Emma finished you two walked to the living room and the boys were still talking.

You sat on your previous seat as Emma placed down the tray. Just then Takemichi whispered "Izana Kurokawa just who is he?"
"He's my big brother." Emma replied shocking the others, you already knew so you were shock about the fact that Mikey didn't knew.
"Who is?" Mikey asked pointing at himself with a dumbfounded face.

"I said, he's my big brother. Izana Kurokawa." Emma said again as she turned to Mikey who was even more confused with the two boys.
"Come on!! I told you about it like a hundred times, Mikey! He's your half brother, you know! My last name used to be 'Kurokawa', and I had an older brother with that name." Emma elaborated sighing at the forgetfulness of her brother.
"Y/n did you know that?" Mikey asked when he saw you just smiling.
"Ofcourse I know that. Shin-kun told me that Emma and Izana were half siblings. He was also the one who took me with him to visit Izana the first time." Y/n replied still smiling as she sipped her tea.

"Yeah, if I remember correctly he got along with Shin really well." Emma added double shocking the guys.
"With Shinichiro?" Mikey asked very confused from the news.
"Huh? Why would Shinichiro-kun and Izana Kurokawa be friends?" Draken asked and you sighed at how oblivious they were being.
"I don't know about the details but Shin-kun probably heard about Izana from Emma and when he searched for him he was at an orphanage. Since Emma is Izana's half sister he'll eventually be Shin-kun's brother, right? Shin-kun used to visit him often and I tagged along with him sometimes." Y/n cleared their doubts as Emma came back holding a tin.

"A tin?" "What is this?" Mikey and Draken asked pointing at it.
"I saw this on Shin's drawer when I was cleaning his room." Emma said as she removed the lid, you look inside and saw a bunch of letters. ' so like him' you thought as you sighed fondly.

"A bundle of letters written by Izana Kurokawa? Huh? Are all the letters in this tin from Izana Kurokawa?!" Takemichi asked as he takes out few of them.
"Yup... didn't look at any of 'em, though. But look at how many there are! They must've gotten along really well!" Emma exclaimed she herself bewildered from the numbers of letters.
"Gotten along I dunno. This is kinda scary." Draken sweatdrops as he reads a letter.

"It's just like him. He has also wrote me many letters." Y/n chuckled remembering the moment when she used to be so happy to receive his letters. "Huh? He wrote you letters? What kind of letters?" Mikey asked as he walked infront of you.
"What kind of letters? He just wrote me telling about his daily activities and asking about my well being." Y/n replied and Mikey just huff and went back to reading letters.

You all were reading the letters one by one Draken occasionally reading out loud sometimes. Suddenly Mikey stood up he had an unknown expression on his face.
"I'm goin' out for some sir." And he walked away silently.
"But Manjirou what happened?" You called out to him but he just ignores you. He had never ignored you before so it was kind of cold of him to do so.

"Huh? What's the deal with Mikey-kun?" Takemichi asked which no one had a reply for. Draken picked up the letter Mikey was reading before walking out as he read it out.
"'Dear Shinichiro. My head's been aching all the time recently. It hurts so much. I bet it's his fault. Don't talk to me about Manjirou anymore.' Izana Kurokawa was abandoned by his family at a young age. And the first relative who came to visit him was Shinichiro-kun. If that was the only thing he had to rely on then what would Izana think of Mikey?"

"Envy?" Emma suggested and you can't agree more with her.
"Yeah. He felt intense envy towards Mikey. Resentment. There's something that's always bothered me...." Draken started talking about their fight with the ninth leader of Black Dragons, Shion Madarame and told his doubts about Izana's plans.

"Izana always gets angry when Manjirou's name is brought up. I feel sad but I know what he's going through. He just can't accept that Manjirou has everything that he had always wanted. He started admiring him but in a crooked way." Y/n spoke up her thoughts as she looked at them in their eyes. "When I met him on the cafe few days back, he told me to leave Manjirou and to go to him. I didn't want Manjirou to know that so I haven't tell him. Izana may seem to be the bad guy but he's very sweet. He just have to accept Shin's offer of his adoption and he can stay with us here forever. It'll be just fine if I talk with Izana and give him a piece of my mind. He's just a lost kid." Y/n smiled softly. The others smiled along with her as they stood up and went away.

"Guess it's time to talk to Izana and bring him back to his sense before Toman and Tenjiku starts fighting. Hope everything goes well." Y/n stood up as she went to her room.
