BAREFACED

Chapter 38

"Mitsuya?" Chifuyu stops in front of Mitsuya. 

"Hey... since when did you two start hanging out?" Mitsuya asks pointing at the two of you.

"Since today." Chifuyu replies.

"Heh... everyone is starting to like Yuki I see..." Mitsuya chuckles.

"Why are you here?" You softly ask, slowly dropping down to your feet.

"I came to pick you up... didn't Draken tell you?" Mitsuya replies.

"Huh?" Chifuyu turns to look at you.

"Oh... yeah..." You slowly nod and walk towards the bakery door.

"Wait... where are you two going?" Chifuyu asks.

"To my place... she's going to be staying with me for a bit." Mitsuya responds.

"Huh? Why?" 

"It's because of the black dragons, right?" You slowly look at Mitsuya. Mitsuya nods.

"The black dragons?" Chifuyu looks at both you and Mitsuya confused.

"Black Dragons are targeting V..." Mitsuya comments.

"Huh...? Why? What did I miss?" Chifuyu's eyes widen, and there's a hint of panic is in his tone.

"Someone's pretending to be V and started attacking other gangs... like the Black Dragons..." Chifuyu furrows his eyebrows after Mitsuya answers his question. "Don't worry... they don't know who V is yet... I think... So, we should be fine for now..." Mitsuya adds. Chifuyu slowly nods and looks at you.

"Okay then... well... I will see you later- partner." He smiles waving at you and walking away.

"Partner?" Mitsuya raises an eyebrow and looks at you. You stare back at him. 

"Mhm..." You hum. Mitsuya slowly nods and looks towards the bakery door. 

"You should pack a good amount of clothes... you will be staying at my place for a while." Mitsuya motions towards the door.

"Wait a while? Will your mother be okay with that?" You ask. Mitsuya nods.

"My mother is rarely at home... So, when we leave in the morning to go to school she would be asleep... Besides I told her you will be Luna and Mana's babysitter for a bit since I will be busy with... designer stuff..." Mitsuya smiles at you.

"Designer stuff?" You raise an eyebrow to his comment. Mitsuya nods and looks you in the eyes, smiling more.

"You should hurry up and pack... I have to go pick up Luna and Mana soon..." Mitsuya motions to the door again. 

"Oh... okay..." You open the door to the bakery and walk in. You make your way up the stairs into the living room and then into your bedroom. Mitsuya follows behind you staring at the small decoration in your room.

"Why don't you live with your grandparents?" 

"Huh?" You slowly turn to look at Mitsuya who's standing beside your bed.

"You have your grandparents so why do you live here instead with them...?" He asks again.

"Oh... well... I guess it's because this has always been my home... I didn't want to leave it, so I chose to stay here." You respond.

"I see..." He nods looking around the room again. You smile at him and continue to pull clothes out your dresser. Mitsuya smiles back at you. 

"Do you need help?" He asks walking closer to you.

"Uh... If you want to help... can you grab my crutches and school stuff and pack them too?" You softly ask pointing towards your closet. Mitsuya nods and walks over to your closet. He grabs your crutches and school uniform and places them on the bed. He lifts up your uniform and examines it.
