By My Side - Mikey x Reader - Tokyo Revengers

Reader's POV

"M-Mikey..."

A short figure with fluffy, blonde hair wearing a black jacket with white stripes stepped into the light. He walked closer to us, each step echoing in the tight alley. A taller boy with a tattoo on the side of his head followed close behind him. 

With each step, my attacker flinched, as if the sound of the blonde's footsteps were as loud as a clanging cymbal. 

When the so-called Mikey reached him, he lifted his right hand. The boy squeezed his eyes shut, awaiting his fate. Mikey put his hand on the frightened boy's left shoulder. The boy's eyes opened slightly, relieved that he wasn't receiving a beating. 

Yet.

 Mikey was close enough so I could see his dark irises. They were like black holes putting you in a trance. 

Mikey smiled sweetly at the boy and with incredible speed, kicked the boy's temple with so much force, he flew to the wall with a thud. It was quite obvious he had been knocked unconscious.

 Mikey looked at me and I stumbled back, afraid of what he would do to me next. He put out his hand and asked: "Are you hurt?" I told him about my arm and he inspected it. "You put up quite a fight there. Where'd you learn how to fight like that?" 

"I learned myself." Y/n fiddled with her fingers, and didn't make eye contact. Mikey immediately knew that she was lying. 

"Hey. Look at me." He put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at his dark eyes. "No one should have to bottle up whatever happened to you inside. I can tell that you're hurting. No one's listened before, so I will." 

His eyes were filled with sympathy, and Y/n knew immediately knew that she could trust him. 

"My mother was a prostitute, but my asshole of a father married her anyway because he was obsessed with her. Even after they got married, she continued in her line of.. work. Eventually, my dad got fed up with it and left her, taking me with him. He got addicted to drinking and took all his anger and frustration out on me. Eventually, I learned that I shouldn't be living like this, and learned to fight back."

"I'm so sorry." Mikey and his tall friend said to me. I waved them off. "You're interesting. I want you to be my friend. I'm Manjiro Sano, but call me Mikey. And this is Draken." I agreed to be Mikey's friend and introduced myself to Mikey and Draken.

Y/n, Draken, and Mikey were walking towards the sounds of fighting. The trio turned the corner and laid their eyes on Hanagaki Takemichi.
