Rooting for you best friend

Mikey X Takemichi

From reader's POV

(Y/n) who knew about Takemichi's feelings for Mikey decided to help along with Draken and Mitsuya.

"What??!! You and Hina broke up?Why?"-

I asked my childhood best friend who were fidgeting in front of me.

"Well,we found out that we love someone else."-Takemichi answered as he hold the back of his neck,face starting to shade in a light blush.-"And that we're gay."

"Well, that's one way to find out."

"It is."-He replied.

"Who's the lucky guy?"

Instead of answering,the shade of his blush darken as he gaped. Trying to answer my question.

"Wow,you love him that much?"

"Yeah,t-the only problem was...was...

"Just finish your damn sentence already!"

I get so impatient when he became like this.Loss at his own word.

"I don't know if he want me. And even worse,if he's even gay."-He answered, covering his face with his hands.

Seriously? Some guy even became gay because of you Takemichi. I massaged my temple gently.

"Hmm. What about telling me who it was first."

He was silent,still blushing.

"Then,a hint. How does he looks like."

"Well, he's very hot! He's so handsome and cute at the same time! Very very strong!  Very charismatic! He can be childish sometimes. Hmmm. What else, ah yes, good fashion sense too."

I blinked my eyes slowly as Takemichi started rambling about his crush on details. Like how he looks like, his senses, his everything. Man,my best friend really is in love. So, let's take the important key point. He have a pale blond hair. Quite childish but charismatic at the same time. Is he in the gang Michi joined recently? What was the name again? Ah yes, Tokyo Manji gang. Maybe he is.

"Michi,slow down."

He frozed. He seriously frozed after I said that. Oh my god, should I not do that?

"Michi?"

"I...I...I talk too much,I guess."-He said.

"Nah, it's okay."

"But damn, you're seriously in love with this guy."

"Yeah,I am."-He answered,still blushing.

How come a guy looks cute while blushing?

"Hmmm, he seems like a decent and good guy to me."

"What's his name?"

"Mikey."-He simply replied.

"Is he a foreigner?"

"No, it's more like a nickname."-He replied with a wide grin.-"It suit him though,that name."

Wow, totally in love. Maybe I should met him first to know how to help this poor best friend of mine.

 

 ***

I hummed my favourite song while hopping along the path. I noticed someone familiar up ahead, a yellow hair and ocean blue eyes. Behind him followed a tall guy with a dragon tattoo on his temple and a guy with a pale blond haired. Wait a minute. WAIT A DAMN MINUTE! It please.The details that Michi tell me, it matches that guy. Is that him? Only one way to find out.

"Michi!"

Michi heard my voice and whipped his head towards me."

"Hey, (y/n)."-He said and waved his hand.

He walked towards me, and I can't help but noticed the guy glaring at me while the the one with dragon tattoo just sigh and massage his own temple.

"Michi, who's that?"

"Well, the tall one is Draken. And the other one is...

"So that's Mikey?"

You smirked and look at Michi. He just nodded his head with a flustered smile. I see. I hold his hand and nodded.

"Good luck with that."

"Thank you best friend. But I got to go now. See you at school tomorrow."-He said and walked away.

Does he need my help? I got the feeling that this isn't just some one-sided crush. I was about to walk away when I feel a tap on my shoulder. It was him. He was glaring dagger at me. Oh my god,this is scary.

"Hmm.-he hummed as he studied every part of me.

"Y-yes? What c-can I help you sir?"

"Who are you to my Mitchy?"-He asked.

"I am just his best friend,sir."

Oh no,did he think I wanna take his Michi away? Wait. WAIT! His Michi? I looked at him, trying a swallow a lump that seems to be stuck at my throat. I knew it, it isn't one-sided crush.

"Why are you smiling?"-He asked.

"Don't worry, I'm just his childhood bestfriend. Nothing more than that."

"Okay."-He said and walked away.

Damn,these lovestruck idiots. But he was seriously angry at me. I need to do something.

 

 

*The next day

"Michi!"

Takemichi who are already walking to the school gate turned around and flashed a wide smile.

"Are you free today?"

"Yeah,I am."-He answered

"You sure? No gang related stuff?"

"They didn't mention anything yet,so yeah."-He said.

I approached him with a smile.

"Let's go to the new cafe. My treat "

"That's nice. Thank you."-He said and walked beside me.

"Beside, there's something I need to discuss with you."

"Is it important?"-He asked with a confused face.

"Yes, very very important matter."

"Alright."-He replied.

 

 

*At the café

"Are you crazy?"-He asked,yelling.

People around us started glaring at how noisy we were.

"You were saying that I should just confess?"-Takemichi is still yelling.

"Michi, don't shout."

"Oh shit."-He replied and covered his mouth with his hand.

"Well, what about taking him out then."

"Like a date."

"You sure he will agree to go with me?"- he asked.

"You won't know till you try."

Come on Michi. The way that guy act around you isn't the way a friend would. The way he's mad at me that day too. He's more than that, don't be so oblivious please.

"I-I'll try."-He said.

"Good. If he agrees tell me. If he refused, tell me too."

"Alright."-He replied weakly.

Takemichi's phone rang and he answered it quickly.

Oohh,he got gang meeting.He ended the call and finished his drink. I wanted to discuss more.

"I need to go now."-He said.

"It's okay."

"Just ask him out okay."

"And if he reject you, let's go to karaoke."

"Your treat again."-He replied with a wide smile.

"Okay okay."

"I will."

With that he walked away. I guess I'll go too. That was when I feel another's presence in front of me. It was Mikey. He sat down and sighed.

"So, what were you doing here with My Mitchi?"- he asked.

"A normal friend outing."

"But I gotta ask you something, Mikey-san."

"What is it?"-Mikey said with a straight face.

The face of a charismatic leader.

"Do you have feelings for Michi?"

I saw a slight hint of blush on the older boy's face.There was silence,then...

"So what if I am?"-He asked.

"That's good then."

"Don't worry,I don't have feelings for Michi."

"He's just my childhood bestfriend."

"Well, I gotta go now."

"Please take good care of Michi."

I bowed and walked away. On my way out, I bumped into the tall guy.

"Oh, you're their friend."

"Hmmm, Draken-san. Right?"

"Yeah."- he said.

"You guys have a meeting right?"

"I actually wanna   something with you "

"About what?"-Draken asked.

"Meet me here tomorrow, after school."

"It's about Michi and Mikey."

"Alright then."-Draken replied and smile.

You walked away with a satisfied smile. Looks like I found an ally.

 

 

*The next day

"Ah, you're here."-Draken said, standing in front of the café.

So tall. Is this man even a teenager?

"Let's enter the café first."

"Sure."-He said and followed me from behind.

We both take our seat and I can see how stress he is.

"So, what is it that you wanna discuss?"-he asked.

"Well, Mikey have feelings for Michi right?"

"And, what's wrong with it?"-He asked.

Don't answer my question with another question, you damn hot beanpole. I was about to answer when a waitress came to our table and take our order.

"Well, did he ask Mikey out after the meeting?"

"Nope, he didn't"-He answered.

"I told him to do it."

I sighed.

"Why would he ask Mikey out?"-He asked.-"Could it be,he like Mikey?"

"Yup, he did."

"Didn't he like...have a girlfriend or something?"-He said eyeing the meals that the waitress put on the table.

"Oh,you guys didn't know?"

"Hina and Michi isn't in relationship anymore."

"They're both gay."

"No wonder."-He replied.-"So you wanted to help them?"

"If possible, yes."

"I'm tired of him pining, ranting about Mikey in front of me."

"Once he talked about Mikey, he just... didn't stop."

"I understand your feelings."-He sighed.

"Is Mikey like that too?"

"Yup. Everyday."-Draken said take another sip of his drink -"Mitchy is like this...Mitchy is like that..."

"Wow, these lovestruck idiots."

"But how can we help them?"

"I think I have an idea for that."-He replied with a smirk.-"And also, we got backup."

“Like someone else who wiyll help us?”

“Everyone noticed how Mikey feels about Takemitchy. And everyone is tired of it.”-Draken replied finishing his meals.-“That’s the reason why I agreed to help you.”

“Wow, I'll think of a good plan.”

“Me too.”-he said.

“Should we exchange number or mail. Something like that “

“It will be easier to discuss like that.”

“That’s right.”

Affer that Draken and I exchange our number and mails to contact each other.

 

 

*2 weeks later

Me,Draken and a lilac-haired boy that Draken introduced to me, Mitsuya is currently stalking two lovestruck idiots. Our plan? I know it’sa bit cliché but we just shoved their faces to this date. More like a forceful date that they will enjoy. Michi will kill me after this but it will be worth it. But will it work? I turned to face Draken.

“You sure this will work?”

“Maybe.”-Draken replied, shrugging his shoulder.-“It’s your idea after all.”

“Let’s hope it work.”

“They’re moving. Let’s go.”

“Why are we following them again?”-Mitsuya asked.

“I just need the tea.”

“Who knows they might just confess and kiss each other.”

“It will be me enjoying the hot tea!”

“Right.”-Draken said, sighing.

“Well, we did shoved them on this date.”-Mitsuya replied and patted Draken's shoulder.

Draken jumped slightly with the touch. Ehe, new targets. I smirked as I look at them.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”-Draken scolded me.-“Eyes on the target.”

“Hai hai.”

“Did they just entered an expensive restaurant?”-Mitsuya asked.

“Yeah, that’s my restaurant.”

We entered the restaurant and saw a waitress who already attended the couple on their table. One of the waitress saw me and was about to greet me. I put my finger on my lips, signalling her to not make my appearance known to others. I waved my hand, and she scurried her way towards me.

“See those couple over there?”

She nodded.

“Told the manager, that they will have a free meals today.”

“My order.”

“Yes boss “-she nodded and scurried away to the office.

“That’s unexpected.”-Mitsuya said.

“Do you guys wanna eat something too?”

“It’s okay.”-Mitsuya replied with a soft smile.

Damnn, the smile is so hot. But seems like the beanpole have a crush on him. I decided to take a look on our target couple. They’re holding hands. That’s so romantic. Wait. They’re holding hands already. Oh my god, yes this is working.

“Draken-san, Mitsuya-san look.”

Both of them whipped their heads towards the couple and gasped.

“They were holding hands.”

“That’s a progress.”

Go for it Michi, get your man!

“Where are they going after this?”-Draken asked.

“Festival.”

“They have tickets for that?”-Mitsuya asked.

“Well, yup they have.”

“That’s good?”-Draken asked.

“Don’t worry.”

They both nodded their heads.

 

 

*At the festival

We were at the gate, when Draken got a text from Mikey.

“Mikey said they got in for free.”-Draken said, looking at his phone.

“Let’s go in.”

We walked towards the gate and both of them sighed.

“What a long line.”-Mitsuya said, already heading towards the line of people.

“Mitsuya-san, we don’t have to line up.”

“You sure?”-Mitsuya asked.

(Oi,brats.)

(Who are you to cut the line?)

(You the boss or something?)

(Get back in line!)

The worker spotted me and greeted me immediately.

“Boss.”

The crowd went silent.

“Yeah, I’m the boss.”

“Got any problem with it?”

“And also, they’re with me.”

I pointed my fingers to Draken and Mitsuya who looked confused.

“Understand boss.”-the worker replied as he opened the gate.

“Now let’s go.”

“We have a date to stalk.”

We walked inside, both Draken and Mitsuya were still too shocked to say anything.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Boss?”-Draken asked.

“Yeah, seems like you got some explaining to do.”-Mitsuya asked.

“Well, I maybe or maybe not sponsored festivals every year.”

“Ehe, so yeah.”

“That’s the explanation.”

Their jaw dropped as I told them.

“How rich are you?”-Draken asked.

“Well, enough?”

I gave them a sheepish smile. I hope both Mikey and Michi will progress in their relationship.“They they are.”-Mitsuya pointed his finger to the couple, who is still holding hands.

They’re so romantic. Oohh,my babies. Ehe.(Venti's ehe is getting to me,lmao.)

“They look so sweet.”

“sickeningly sweet.”-Draken sighed.

“The important thing is, they enjoy the date.”-Mitsuya replied, smiling at me.

What a gentle smile you have there, Mitsuya.

“Well, thank you for the compliment.”-Mitsuya replied.

Did I say that out loud? Damn. Congratulations to myself. I can feel Draken's glaring at me.

 

 

*Confessing time (according to plan)

Both Mikey and Michi were on the picnic mat, holding each other's hand.

“When will confess?-Draken asked, chewing the takoyaki that they buy earlier.

Something feels awkward. Like they’re already dating. Like they’re trying to get a free date. Nah, it’s fine. I will sponsor their wedding too. Hehe.

“Oh, what are they doing?”-Mitsuya asked.

Michi seems to be saying something. Mikey...is blushing? Oh! It’s happening.

“Guys, it’s happening.”

They were both moving closer to each other till Mikey kissed Michi's lips. Oh my god. They finally kiss! I look at both Draken and Mitsuya.

“Mission success.”

“It worked.”-Draken said.

“Seriously?”-Mitsuya said,sighing.-“Finally, stressing over Mikey's pining is over. I guess.”

“Me too. Stressing over Michi's rant is over.”

“Is it just me or are Mikey waving his hand towards us?”

“Shit, Mikey knew.”-Draken said.

Both Mikey and Michi walked towards us, smiling and holding each other's hands. So sweet.

“So, you planned all this date?”-Mikey asked.

“Ehe, yeah.”

“How’s the date?”-Draken asked.

“Good, cause someone sponsored it.”-Takemichi said.

“Are you guys dating yet?”-Mitsuya asked.

“About that...”-Takemichi like he was hesitating to said it.

“You guys are already dating.”

“Am I right?”

“Yup.”-Mikey said,grinning widely.-“Free date.”

Draken and Mitsuya doesn’t seems shocked about the news. They might be thinking, 'ah, it’s Mikey we're dealing with'.

“Wait, you knew about this?”-Draken asked.

“Me?”

“Yeah, you knew about this?”-Draken asked again.

“Nope, I didn’t know.”

“Then how?”-Takemichi asked.

“Instinct.”

“Nice instinct.”-Mikey replied.

“Is it okay for you to sponsored our date like that.”-Takemichi asked.

“Of course it's okay.”

“I’ll even sponsored your wedding.”

“Fully.”

“Nice offer.”-Mikey replied while Takemichi's already blushing.

“Whatever it is, I'm rooting for you Michi.”

“Thank you bestfriend.”- Michi replied with a wide smile.
