"It's fucking hot" you complained turning your head to the side to face Mikey who was also sweating from the heat."Argh I hate that you're right" Baji agreed.
You three were laying in the living room of Mikey's house and it was so hot. Originally you had come for Emma but she had visited her other friends and you were left with these two idiots.
"I could drink a whole ocean at this point and that still wouldn't be enough to extinguish the heat" you weren't lying about this. "I don't think a swim in the Atlantic Ocean would even be enough" Mikey yawned, of course he was gonna start feeling sleepy.
Another thirty minutes passed by and Mikey was silently snoring while you and Baji were being cooked by the heat.
"Oi vampire! How about you put yourself to good use and go get me some orange juice" you said, fanning yourself with your hand but that wasn't enough.
"Huh why don't you go get?!" He asked sitting upright so you could finally see him and he looked like a roasted mushroom. You burst out laughing seeing how clapped he looked right now.
"Huh?! Why are you laughing ugly!" He asked loudly but that wasn't enough to wake up Mikey or stop you from cackling. "You keep getting uglier everyday!" You replied wiping tears away from your eyes in between laughs.
"Huh?! Me and ugly don't fit in one sentence I'm gorgeous" he boasted confidently, closing he had a smug look on his face. "But you are probably the ugliest girl I've seen!" He retorted.
You stuck your tongue out at him, you knew you weren't good looking but you also weren't ugly. You actually liked the way you looked if you were given a chance to change the way you looked, you wouldn't change a damn thing because you were perfect just the way you were.
"You're the ugliest guy I've seen!" You had this thing about you that when someone was rude or mean you viewed them as ugly and unattractive. This thing was happening with Baji.
"What name a guy better looking than me!" He ordered. "Jirou, Ryu, Mitsuya, Yukio, Hanma, Hanemiya. Do you want me to go on?" You asked knowing your list went on forever but this was enough to wipe that smug look off his face.
He fell back onto the floor staring up at the ceiling. It was so hot, that was the only thing he could think of. "Dude did you forget what I said?" You asked him.
"About me being the ugliest guy or calling me a vampire?"
"No the part where I sent you to go get me some juice."
He made an 'oh' expression. "No, get it yourself.""But I'm so tired and lazy" you whined. You really didn't want to go.
"Okay" he said.
"Wait you'll really go?!" You asked excitedly, happy that Baji was willing to get some juice.
"I said okay as in I don't care whether you're tired or lazy" he smirked when he felt your face contour into an angry expression.
"How about this.. Rock pepper scissors best out of three" you suggested seating upstraight. Baji did the same seemingly interested in the idea. "The loser will do whatever the winner says for the entire day."
"You're gonna regret saying that" Baji smirked as his competitive side sparked at the thought of ordering you around like a slave and you also thought the same.
Shinichiro walked out of his room yawning, he stepped into the living room to see you and Baji with evil smirks. "Keisuke.... Y/n I'm going to the store do you want anything?" He asked ignoring the weird tension.
Your eyes lit up. "I want ice-cream. Any flavor is okay." He nodded, registering your fondness for the frozen dessert. He turned to Baji. "A cola for me" Baji replied. He nodded his head and left ignoring Mikey who was fast asleep.
After the door closed you and Baji glared at each other and nodded. "So we agree no backing out?" You got back to discussing your business.
"No backing out" he said.
"Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot" you both shouted in unison but were both disappointed when you saw you both threw Scissors.
"Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot" this time it was your victory. You had played rock while Baji had played scissors which you had guessed he would do.
"Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot" Baji smirked as he stared at both your hands this time once again he had played Scissors while you had played Paper.
You were both in a bad situation right now, whoever would win the next round would win the entire game. But you both hid it behind confident smiles but deep down you were panicking.
"Ready to taste defeat?" You asked masking your nervousness, you didn't want to be Baji's slave at all.
"As if! The only defeat that will be tasted will be by you after I make you lick the floor" he shot back nervously, beads of sweat rolling down his nose.
"Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot" You both breathed a relieved sigh to see you had a draw once again.
"Why are so relieved afraid I'm gonna win?" Baji said his voice wavering almost unsure of the claim he was making.
"You sound nervous for a person talking big game" you chuckled seeing that atleast he was also just as nervous as you but this gave you an advantage.
"Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot"
You stared in shock at your hands, while Baji's eyes lightened up. He had won, instead of playing rock like he had thought he played Paper and you played Rock. He had won.
"Haha loser" he mocked you, sticking out his tongue out at you and you thought of chopping it off and feeding it to him but you chose to be mature about this and accept your loss. You forced a smile, "you won... so what would you like me to do first."
He laid back down on his back, his hands behind his head and his right leg crossed over his left leg. "Get me some orange juice, after that get a fan and fan me" he ordered closing his eyes.
You dragged yourself to the kitchen grabbing a glass and pouring some cold orange juice straight from the fridge into the glass and putting the juice back in the fridge.
"CHOP! CHOP SLAVE" He shouted from the other room making you pissed. Being yourself immature self you spat into his drink before going back and giving it to him with a fake smile.
He eyed the beverage suspiciously as he sat upstraight, he took the glass from your hand and shrugged his shoulders before taking a sip. "I really needed this" he breathed feeling the juice cooling him down while you searched around for a Chinese fan in the background.
"Oi Vampire I can't find the fan" you reported looking back at him, he was really enjoying that drink. "Well then use your hands" he rolled his eyes annoyed at you for ruining his moment.
You did the same as you sat next to him and started fanning him using your hands. This was a bad day, a hot bad day.
You don't know how but the whole thing led to you feeding him grapes, while he was drinking his orange juice from his straw. Atleat he didn't make you lick the floor.
Shinichiro returned back home and sweatdropped when he got back to see you feeding Baji grapes as if he were some sort of king and your eyes lit up when you saw Shinichiro.
"Shin-chan you're back so fast! What flavor did you get?" You ran up to him happily forgetting about Baji, everytime you saw him you got excited for some unknown reason."Uh mint chocolate chip" he replied patting your head, if you had a tail right now it would be wagging aggressively.
"Hey, Slave I didn't say you could leave yet!" Baji yelled over and your imaginary tail stopped wagging only going in between your legs. You looked like a dejected puppy as you returned to feeding Baji grapes.
'So.... they're getting along' Shinichiro thought to himself as he watched the two but was soon got his answer when you purposely choked Baji with a grape.
"Are you trying to kill me!" Baji shouted after coughing out the grape. You smiled sweetly at him, "I would never do that to you" you sounded so innocent that you almost fooled the witness himself.
Shinichiro noted that you were scary.

You sighed exasperated as you stared at the clock on the wall that read 2pm. You were working at the oldman's candy store because this was part of the deal. Of course he wasn't making you work for free, you were allowed to eat any candy you wanted and you were also being payed for your time.
It was a pretty sweet deal, you wouldn't have taken it if you knew it also came along with boredom. You had been there for two hours and no one had entered the store, it was like it didn't even exist.
"Y/n-chin~ " Mikey shouted entering the store skipping upto the counter, Hanemiya by his side quietly eyeing the store you worked, you could tell he was nervous. "Did you miss me~" Mikey asked sitting on the counter.
"You want me to answer that honestly" you asked cocking up an eyebrow. "Always so bitter aren't you?" He smiled tapping the tip of your nose with his finger.
"No I was gonna say I missed you so much" you corrected smiling at him making the boy tilt his head slightly confused you had never missed him before. "No you didn't miss me, you just don't like being bored" he said and you looked guilty.
"Hanemiya-san it's been a while! " You exclaimed trying to change the conversation from the real reason you were happy to see them.
He nodded his head as an answer. "You don't talk much do you? Or is it just me" you asked, he was always like this. You couldn't tell if he didn't like you or if he was an awkward person.
He shrugged his shoulders but the look in his eye told you, it was just you. "And what are you guy's even doing here?"
"We're here to check up on you" Mikey quickly answered, that was strangely too fast. Hanemiya was about to say something but Mikey shushed him with one look and you understood why they were here.
"You heard about the free candy?" They were here because they wanted to use you. You didn't mind though. Mikey nodded his head with a guilty expression while Hanemiya remained unbothered.
"I'm sorry Y/n-chin! Spending time with you is a bonus" he apologized. He was so adorable, "it's okay I don't mind but you can only take one each."
Mikey liked this idea. He got up from the counter picking up a strawberry lollipop he carefully unwrapped before popping it in his mouth. He sat back on the counter. "Y/n-chin you're the best!" He hugged you. The sight made Hanemiya narrow his eyes.
"Right I know" you said patting his back. "Hanemiya get anything you want it's on me" you noticed he hadn't taken anything. Mikey broke apart the hug staring at his friend dumbfounded.
"I don't want anything" he dryly answered. "Can I take his share?!" Mikey beamed pointing at Hanemiya and you nodded your head.
Mikey walked around the store deciding on what he wanted. "Hanemiya...." You said in a low voice"I'm not sure what I did to make you not like me but I would really like to apologize for whatever I said that must've offended you."
He didn't say anything. "I also deeply care for Jirou and the others" your voice was soft, making Hanemiya dislike you even more than he already did. It annoyed him the way you spoke of his friends and that stupid name you had started calling Mikey by.
"Are you willing to die for them?" His voice was low but you had heard it but before you could answer Mikey popped up infront of you waving a candy bracelet.
"I'll take this" he said in a low voice, he was being weird. His childish side had vanished, his voice was devoid of emotion. "Why are you being weird?" You asked taking the bracelet from his hand tying it around his wrist.
'Maybe he's just sleepy' you thought remembering that everytime he ate a lot he would fall asleep or simply because he was tired. This was how he would act when he was tired.
"Nevermind. Don't answer that."
They stayed with you the whole day, keeping you company sometimes Hanemiya would shoot you death glares if Mikey would hold your hand or even touch you which you noticed but it didn't stop you from hugging Mikey.
What could you say honestly Mikey was the best even though he only came for candy the fact that he was keeping you company on such a boring day was enough. The company Yukio usually gave you, you hadn't seen him ever since you guy's hung out at Mitsuya's house.
Sure judged you and told you all your flaws but you didn't mind you actually liked his honesty. He was just a nice older brother type of person that would tell you no or doesn't want to get involved in your shenanigans but with the right kind of begging he would end up helping.
The oldman returned to the store happy that you had some company. His aura turned gloomy when he saw Mikey with a lollipop. "You... a candy serial killer" he shook his head disapprovingly when he remembered the first time he left you and Mikey alone and returned to find you guy's passed out from eating too much candy. So it was safe to say he didn't very much like him.
Mikey looked at him with an innocent expression as he tilted his head to the side making the man's lip twitch. It was a weird tension.
"Ehehe" you laughed awkwardly while Hanemiya stiffled a laugh from his friend being called a candy murder. The oldman had just noticed Hanemiya for the first time, "and who might you be?" He smiled at the kid.
"Hanemiya Kazutora" he was nicer to the oldman than he was nicer to you because he actually smiled. "Nice to meet you kid," he said before turning his attention to you. "Is this why you wanna join gangs to get bad haircuts like that?" He pointed to Hanemiya who had a hurt look at what the man was saying while Mikey chuckled but also curious about the gang part.
"Hanemiya-san has a nice haircut" you tried to defend him but he looked more offended that the compliment was coming from you. "And I already told you the reason I wanna join a gang to protect the people I value the most."
"Y/n-chin am I one of those people?" The short shrimp asked, his voice upbeat like how he was before. Like he had gotten back his energy.
"Yeah, you're one of them" you answered him. He was literally going to be the center of the whole mess, a mess he didn't deserve. A mess no one deserves.
The oldman smiled "Okay whatever it's time to close up."
