I'll Save You (Mikey x Reader)

Episode 41: Come Back to Life

2006:

My head rested on my boyfriend's back, while I kept my arms tightly wrapped around his torso, as we rode in a comfortable silence for hours. I didn't want to say anything, since the entire point of this drive was for Mikey to clear his head, so I used this time to think about things.

Who is the traitor that Kakucho mentioned and what does he have to gain by telling us? He seems to be all buddy-buddy with Takemichi, and even let us leave the fight in the warehouse unscathed, so I don't think there's any reason to doubt him.

Infighting isn't allowed in Toman, so who would intentionally- oh shit. The Fifth Division, a singular group in Toman who has permission to fight other members. Now that I think about it, their leader is a part of S-62, the Vicious Generation.

He shouldn't be making a move anytime soon, right? Takemichi and First Division will be fine if I just give them a quick phone call in a few hours. Right now, my focus should be on Mikey.

"Hey, do you wanna get snacks and sit by the water, just like we used to when we first started dating?" I proposed.

"What brought that up?"

"I don't know," I admitted. "We haven't done it in a while, and I thought it might be nice."

"Yeah, that does sound nice."

Mikey switched lanes, before pulling off of the main road.

After stocking up on a bunch of snacks from a nearby convenience store, we drove to a spot we hadn't been to in months.

Everything that's ever gone right in my life happened right here.

As we sat on the concrete ledge, overlooking the river, next to the bridge, Mikey rested his head on my shoulder.

He took a bite of his dorayaki, before wrapping his arm around my back. "It almost feels as if it were yesterday, doesn't it?"

"It really does, doesn't it?" I giggled, as I took a bite of my (snack). "Can't believe it's already been three years."

"You were so awkward when you were confessing to me! It was adorable!"

I huffed, crossing my arms. "Okay, well at least I didn't try and fail to play the cool guy card, acting like it wasn't a big deal!"

"Just admit it, (Y/n)!" Mikey laughed. "You love the cool guy act!"

A red tint covered my cheeks, leading me to stand up and turn away from my boyfriend. "Absolutely not, Mikey!"

"Hey, come back here!" The blonde ran over to me, wrapping his arms around my torso from behind, and lifting me up. "Haha! Try to get away now!"

"Mikey, stop it!"

"Admit it!"

"I don't wanna!"

"Just do it!"

"Fine!"

"Say it."

"What?!"

"Go on, say it."

I let out a sigh. "The cool guy act makes me fall for you a little bit more, every time." My boyfriend gasped at my statement, setting me down and giving me an opportunity to throw myself on top of him, forcing the both of us to topple onto the grass behind the ledge. "But, I do like the lovey dovey side of you the best."

As I pressed my lips against his, Mikey decided to sit up, keeping his hands resting on my waist, preventing me from getting off of his lap.

"Aww, you're making me blush." The blonde moved his head to the crook of my neck and tightened his arms around my torso. "Thank you, (Y/n). I really needed this."

After smoothing back his blonde locks with my fingers, I placed a kiss on the top of his head. "Hey, I'm always going to be here for you, ya know? We should do things like this more often; I miss hanging out like this."

"I can't argue with that." I could feel him smile, as he continued to nuzzle his face in my neck. "You and me at the new pizza shop on Tuesday?"

"It's a date."

Mikey picked up his head and touched his nose to mine. "I love you so much, (Y/n). I never want anything bad to happen between us. I don't know what I would do with myself if I had ever lost you."

I thought back to what Takemichi had told me about the future he had just come from, where I had tried to kill myself on my own wedding day. How could I do something like that to him?

"I love you too, Mikey, and I promise you that nothing will ever come between us."

Just as we were about to close the distance between us, my phone began to ring.

"Like that?"

Glancing over at my phone, I saw that it was Katsumi, who was calling.

"It's probably not important."

After hitting the end call button, Mikey connected his lips to mine. His right hand left my waist, as he moved it to card his fingers through my hair, while simultaneously pushing my head closer into his. Our lips moved in sync before-

*Ring*

The blonde pulled away, sighing in defeat. "Just answer it and tell her you're busy."

"Fine, I'll-" I paused, realizing that it wasn't Katsumi who was calling this time. "Wait, it's Chifuyu?"

I picked up the phone, hearing the familiar black-haired girl's voice. "Wow! So, you won't answer me, but you'll answer my boyfriend's calls?!"

"Sorry, I'm in the middle of something." I glanced over at Mikey, who was waiting for me to end my call. "I figured that something bad had happened if you both tried to call me."

"Well, you're right about that. Takemitchy and Inupi were kidnapped and beaten up by Mucho, who just admitted to being the traitor. They're back with us now, safe and sound, if you were wondering."

"Huh. So, the traitor is exactly who I thought they were. I'll tell Mikey."

"Uh-huh. I know you will. Takemichi said that the two of you were together anyway."

"Oh, so now you're cock-blocking on purpose. You better think twice before asking me to help you sneak your boyfriend's cat out of his apartment, so you can sign him up for a Fancy Feast commercial!"

"Woah! But that could make him a star! I'm just thinking about his future!"

After I hung up, I explained the situation to my boyfriend, who decided that our best course of action would be to have a meeting with those involved.

I get that Mucho was one of the people from the Vicious Generation, but does that mean that he never had any loyalty for Toman?
