the enemy of my enemy is my friend? @sangakx
midousuji’s usually cocky grin dropped at the boy’s words. lame? no one had ever used the word lame to describe his ( completed ) plan to take over ishigaki’s gang. it was cruel, heartless even but it was not lame. it pissed him off to hear an underling of someone elses’ gang talking to him so freely, but for the moment he would bite his tongue and listen to what the other had to say. shooting down an opportunity to get ahead was not something midousuji would pass on.
there was little trust in him for anyone from the lone wolves, not arakita or any of his other mutts. they were a gang based on freedom and cooperation, rather than a strictly manned group as lizard hell. being able to trust a barrage of men so freely was not in his nature, and trusting manami would seem entirely foolish. midousuji was aware the boy had earned his title the angel of death, it was not just simply given to him.
“i said i will listen, don’t draw up any funny ideas that i will like what you have to say.” the taller replies sharply, not looking to take any more criticism from a mere underling. it was shameful enough once, twice would just be a fight in the making. the way manami droned on, dancing around the bulk of the topic caused impatience to well up in midousuji’s chest. “on with it, zaku.”
the mention of yowaizumi peaked his interest. there was a deep hatred between him & the not - so humble, oodly preppy gang member. just what beef their was between manami & the other was unknown, but he could not imagine that imaizumi made his way onto the lone wolves’ good side -- especially not that of their leader. “what makes you think it takes two?” not fully convinced of the alliance, he wore his mistrust on his sleeve. “just what happened between you and him that it’s a concern. i’m not stupid enough to believe that you of all people needs my help.”
