Takemichi X Everyone
Prologue :
They say do good so the universe rewards you with goodness.
This was the very bullshit saying that got Takemitchi in whatever mess he was in now. “Have some tea, ” he heard the girl say, as she dropped the cup of tea near him.
This would feel like a harmless endeavor, if two pairs of eyes weren't staring daggers at him. Well one was glaring and the other was looking at him like an insect.
He picked up the tea - scared of what would happen if he said no to the kindness - and took a sip, gulping it down in one stroke.
He could feel his heart beat out of his chest, raving and gripping tight on him, as he put it down. The pitch black eyes blinked back at him, lips thinned into a straight like, bored yet unkept.
The taller blonde with a tattoo running down his head - that made Takemichi’s heart beat fifty miles per hour - , “ So-” , he coughed, as if he wasn't scarily enough, “-Takemichy was it?”
“ I-Its Hanagaki Takemichi Sir.” Takemichi said without skipping a beat. The silence that followed made him scared for his life. Why did he say his full government name and try to correct this scary looking guy?
The man's face remained the same, he looked back at the man sitting next to him on the sofa before speaking. “ Long story short, we want to repay you.”
Takemitchi gulped back a breath, “ W-What-?” , why were men who resembled the mafia trying to repay him?
“ You saved Emma's life and that means we owe you.” The man kindly added, filling the blanks, looking at Takemichi with a solemn expression. “ I checked the footage if it wasn't for you-” He gripped his knees tightly, “ She might be… dead.”
“ So thank you-” He said, bowing his head, which made Takemitchi flustered. This was the first time he didn't know what to do. He raised his hand , nervously shaking his head. “ Please don't- I didn't do it for some reward- I'm sure anyone in my place would do the same!”
“ But they didn't. You did.”
His eyes nervously dragged to the floor, afraid to look up. With swallowed breaths, he said, “ I could be a bad person you know- I might take advantage of you-! .”
To his surprise, the man laughed before his eyes narrowed in seriousness. “ I already checked you weren't involved in the gang affair or related to the incident at all. If you were, you would be dead and buried six feet under.”
His previous soft and kind looking eyes felt as if the thermostat had shifted to the sixth gate of hell itself.
Takemitchi wanted to scream in bloody hell but stopped his mouth from opening. What did he get himself into!? He just pushed a girl - Emma - out of the way when he saw someone with a gun approaching him.
So maybe getting shot and getting admitted to the hospital for two weeks and then being dragged to this penthouse wasn't the kindest thing the universe throwed at him.
But that was his karma for you.
Always landing him in trouble.
This is why those stupid folktales saying didn't apply to him.
He flinched as the table cracked under the Man's hand.” So tell me Takemichi what can we do for you?” . . .
“ I don't know.”
“ What.” The man stared dumbfounded at him, like he couldn't believe what an idiot Takemichi was. He was so embarrassed that looking at the floor sounded like the best option in his opinion. He just wanted to leave and go home to his DVD job.
Yeah, what a joy his life was.
Takemichi heard a small chuckle from the other end of the room, his eyes barely landing on the man's face before sudden eye contact made him shiver and look away.
The man got up and started Takemichi up and down before a smile overtook him, “ You heard him Ken-chin . He doesn't know -”
“ Mikey-! We can't let the kid leave without rewarding him.”
Takemichi was completely fine without a reward. “So we keep him till he decides what he wants.” Takemichi nodded, yeah keep me till I- what…!?
He looked wide eyed at the man, his mouth taped open. The man's eyes which resembled the abyss itself shone with a glint of mischievousness.
“ See you Takemichy~”
“ Oi- Mikey get back here YOU DUMBASS-” Ken-chin yelled as the man, ‘Mikey’ , left before Takemichi could wonder which mountain of misfortune did he jump from in his past life.
He heard Ken-chin sigh, slump back into the chair, but his temper was still high and tired of what he was dealing with. Takemichi recognized that easily - why? - because he could swear he could see that man's blood pressure rising.
He coughed a little to get back his attention, “ Ummm Ken-chin-san can I leave now?”
The man looked back at him like he was surprised he was still there. He held his head and spoke. “... You heard Mikey, you're staying till you decide what you want.” He said getting up and moving to the door.
“ I'll send someone to guide you and bring your stuff here. So stay here for the time being and enjoy your food.”
“ But-”
The man sighed, “ What that Dumbass says goes so no Buts. You can leave quicker if you decide what you desire-” The man added, about to close the door and leave Takemichi to question his life decisions.
“ Also call me Draken, Ken-chin is the name he gave him.” Takemichi nodded in autopilot and let the door closes and look.
He bended down at his knees while sitting on the sofa and popped biscuit in his mouth.
He was so fucked.
