Anything for you



 It was midnight. Manjiro groaned as the sound of thunder wakes him up from his deep slumber. He reached out his hand to his side, only to find empty space. Wait a minute, he thought. Where's Takemitchy? He jumped out of the bed and walked outside their bedroom, looking for his husband.

"Mitchy, are you here?"-he shouted.

No response. He continued looking around the house. Hoping that his Mitchy will be there, but to no avail. That's when he heard someone Infront of their door. There's no sign for a struggle. Looks like the intruder knew what the security password is.

"I'll beat the hell out of you. No matter if you're armed or not."-he said.

He was getting ready to attack but when the door sprang opened. There he is. The person he spend time to look for. Takemichi.

"Mitchy!"-he said, ignoring the state of the other's man cloth.-"Where have you been?"

"I was doing arrend."-Takemichi tried to makes excuse.

It was dark so Manjiro hasn't noticed anything weird on Takemichi's cloth. But then, Manjiro touched his shoulder, and felt something. It was wet and sticky. He hurried to the corner of the room and switched on the light. He turned around to see Takemichi and his eyes widened. His husband was wearing a black hoodie, fully covering his small figure and to make it worst, he was covered with blood.

"Mitchy! What happened?"-Manjirou asked, hurriedly checking every inch of his husband's body.

"No, this is...

"Did someone attacked you?"-Manjirou asked, still worried.

"I'm fine Manjiro. It's not my blood."-Takemichi replied.

"Were you helping someone?"-Manjirou asked again.

"Well, that's not the case either."-Takemichi tried to explain it as best as he can.

"What do you mean?"-Manjirou asked, confused.

"I do have something to explained to you now that you've seen it."-Takemichi replied.

"Sure."-Manjirou replied shortly.

"Let me clean up first."-Takemichi sighed as he went to the bathroom.

Manjiro sat on the sofa, impatiently waiting for Takemichi. Half an hour later, Takemichi came back from the shower.

"Takemichi's fresh from the shower is so hot."-Manjirou thought.

He shaked his head.

"Got something much more important than this now. Let's focus on that first."-Manjirou took a deep breath.

"It happened while you're in a coma after that accident. I don't have much option."-Takemichi started explaining, tears almost spilling from his eyes socket.

"Mitchy."-Manjirou said as he held his husband's soft hand.

Takemichi looked at Manjiro. Sniffles can be heard yet he still can hold his tears.

"I'm right here. Take your time, okay?"-Manjirou said, lightly caressing the other man's hand.

"Okay. Here we go."-Takemichi sighed, trying his best to gather as many courage as he can.

*Flashback, Takemichi's POV

It was a few months after you got into a coma. It was so hard. I need money to pay for your hospital bills since we already invested our savings to buy our house. I have to work two jobs that time to be honest. That's when Izana came to meet me. His men took me to Tenjiku Headquarters. He agreed to pay for your hospital bills. But he gave me two options. Either be his plaything or be an assassin for Tenjiku. I took days to think about it. I looked at your face and I realized. I love you so much to cheat on you so I choose the other option. Be an assassin for Tenjiku. Izana asked me if I will regret my decision. But I said no. I choose this option. He laughed at me. "Alright, since you don't want the other easy option. I'll have Kakuchou email you the target when the time come." That's what he said to me. I know it's bad to kill people but I don't really have other options. I planned to asked former Toman members for help. Especially Chifuyu and the captains. But I saw how happy they are with their new life. Life outside of Toman. Life where they are chasing their dream. I decided not to ruin that. That's why I am still in contract. I went out. Hunting lists of Tenjiku's enemies one by one.

*Present time

"That's the story."-Takemichi sighed.

It was quite hard to explain everything. He doesn't wanna keep it a secret from Manjirou, who was silent from the moment he started telling his flashback.

"Are you okay?"-Takemichi asked.

"I'm okay, Mitchy. I just need a minute to process everything."-Manjirou replied.

"Does this creep him out? No way. He was and still is the invisible Mikey after all."-Takemichi thought.

"How long was the contract?"-Manjirou asked suddenly after breaking the silent between them.

"I got another 20 years. I guess."-Takemichi replied, doing calculations inside his head.

Manjirou hugged the confused man in front of him.

"What's wrong Manjirou?"-Takemichi asked.

"Thank you."-Manjirou answered shortly.

"Ehh? Thank you for?"-Takemichi asked, confused.

"For not choosing the first option. For staying loyal with me. For paying my hospital bills and for being here with me."-Manjirou said.

Takemichi felt his pyjama's getting wet. Is Manjiro crying?

"I didn't know you have a hard life when I was in a coma. I'm sorry."-Manjirou sobbed.

"What would Toman members think when they saw their president crying like this."-Takemichi tightened their hug while teasing his favourite man child.

"Don't ruined the moment idiot."-Manjirou replied, still hugging Takemichi.

Takemichi chuckled. Manjirou detached himself from the hug.

"I was really curious, Mitchy."-Manjirou said.

"Curious? About what?"-Takemichi asked.

"How's your first night as an assassin? Knowing you, you might be crying a lot after that."-Manjirou answered.

"It was like hell."-Takemichi sighed.

"Tell me. I'm really curious now."-Manjirou whined.

"Alright. I'll tell you."-Takemichi sighed again.

*Flashback, Takemichi's POV

It was already hours after I received those email from Kakuchan. It's time. I know I'm gonna be so bad with this. I proceeded to turn my smartphone into silent mode. I saw Manjirou's mile on my wallpaper. I know it's hard. I know it's bad to kill others but do it for Manjirou. You wanna make sure he'll be safe right? Then do this for him!

I sneaked around the back gate. Rich men and their ridiculously huge mansion and of course numbers of guards scattered everywhere. I walked carefully, trying not to alert anyone. Finally, after all the not so professional dodging, I arrived at the target's bedroom. I turned the door knob. There he is. Sleeping peacefully on his bed. I crept closer. I took a deep breath, draw out my knife and swing it close to his neck. I almost did it yet my own body betrayed me. I froze. Damn it, why now? So many things came flashing right in my mind. His loved ones. His family. But when the flash ended up showing Manjirou's face during our wedding. I immediately slitted his neck. He woke up yet he's unable to scream. I immediately stabbed the knife right in his chest. Directly piercing his beating heart. I pulled out the knife, causing the blood to spill from the opened wound. I'm sorry for this but I'd rather do this than to become his plaything.

I escaped immediately. Just as I thought I've ran far enough from the mansion , I collapsed to the ground. Tears started spilling from my eyes. I've been holding it back since forever. I wiped my tears using my bloody gloved hand. The nature seems to understand my feelings cause at the very same moment, rain started pouring from the sky. Washing those filthy blood stains on my black hoodie. A pair of legs slowly approached me and offered me something. It was Kakuchan offering an umbrella to me. I can see sympathy in his eyes. I stand up slowly and walked away. Refusing his offer. Yes! I have to do this! For Manjirou!

*Present time,third person POV

"Because of me, this beautiful and kind hand for dirty with blood."-Manjirou said and kissed his beloved husband's hand.

"I'll do anything just to be with you, Manjirou."-Takemichi blushed.

"You killed for me yet you blushed when I kissed your hand."-Manjirou teased.

"T-that's different you know."-Takemichi tried to defend himself, but the blush on his face told otherwise.

"So...when will the next mission be?"-Manjirou asked.

"I don't know. I was just waiting for orders anyway. Sometimes it came almost every night. There was one time where the gap between mission reached to two weeks. So I got more time to relax and take care of you."-Takemichi replied.

"Aww, my husband care so much for me "-Manjirou cooed.

"Of course I care for you."-Takemichi sighed.

"Come one Mitchy. You need to rest."-Manjirou said and dragged his husband to their bed.

They lied on the bed, not saying anything. Just feeling each other's existence to the fullest. Until Manjirou break the silence.

"Don't worry Mitchy. From now on, you won't have to do those annoying missions alone. I'll be with you."-Manjirou said, caressing the already half asleep Takemichi in his arm.

He sighed. 

"I got something to settle with that damn half Filipino bastard anyway."-Manjirou said, his expression darken.
