~Reminiscent~

Chapter 5

"You wouldn't understand, especially you, Draken-kun...What it's like to live in the shadows..." Takemichi sulked.

"Hm? Don't be creepy." Draken sighed.

"This is the first time anyone's looked at me! Let me live a little, okay?!" Takemichi exclaimed as he got close to the pair's faces.

"I can't believe you'd admit something that depressing at max volume. And I thought Y/n was lame, especially since she's always carrying her guitar around with her." Draken said.

"Eh?" Y/n gaped.

'Am I just the standard for what is and what isn't lame...?!'

"Don't look at me like that. You know it's true. Anyone else would agree." Draken said, glancing at Y/n who stared at him with a frown.

"You're so mean. I'm telling Emma." Y/n huffed.

"And? She'd agree too." Draken retorted.

"It's like everyone I know thinks so lowly of me...You're all cruel. Very, very cruel." Y/n sulked.

Suddenly, Draken remembered something as he glanced beside Y/n where a bag sat on a stool. Grabbing it, he called over to Takemichi who was ranting about how unappreciated he felt.

"Here." Draken said, holding the bag forward

"Hm?" Takemichi raised a brow as he accepted the bag.

"It's from Mikey. He said to give it to you." Draken told the boy who curiously looked in.

Y/n glanced over at Takemichi and hummed as he pulled out a Toman uniform, staring at it in amazement.

"A gang uniform?" Takemichi gaped.

"Not just any gang uniform. It's very special and if you ruin it I will personally deal with you." Y/n said, staring at Takemichi with a blank expression.

"Huh?!" Takemichi flinched as he shuffled away from her.

"Cut it out." Draken deadpanned as he smacked the girl's head.

Y/n huffed.

"Sorry about that..." Y/n muttered, crossing her arms as she looked away.

"Is this really that important?" Takemichi gulped, holding the uniform up.

"Yeah. That's the uniform Mikey wore when he first started Toman." Draken revealed. "In Toman, that uniform's as important as life itself."

"Then...why does he want me to have this?" Takemichi asked.

"He said that whether you wear it or not is up to you. He wants you to have it." Draken grinned.

"You probably won't fit in it though since that was Mikey's when he was just 12 years old and he's a small guy." Y/n said.

Draken raised a brow, glancing at Y/n who huffed in response.

"Takemitchy, you're Toman's savior. Everyone knows that, including me. Let me show my gratitude once more." Draken said as he stood.

"Thank you." He bowed as Takemichi stayed silent in surprise.

"Take good care of that uniform." Draken added.

"This is Mikey-kun's...He gave this to me...That's heavy." Takemichi spoke as he held the uniform up.

"Wonder if I'll ever be the kinda guy who can pull this off." He grinned awkwardly.

"It'd be a better look compared to what you have on now." Y/n snorted.

"Go see him." Draken grinned.
