(Mikey x Nerd Reader) The Gangster and the Nerd

Chapter 7: Ideal Date

The awkward position in which you've found yourself ended up being similar to a Mexican standoff. No one said a word, no one moved whilst you and Takemichi stay paralyzed, wondering what horrid action will the commander make. Things would be worse for the fohawk-haired boy given his position as a loyal member of the first division captain for Toman bringing about shame and betrayal against his leader for fondling what belongs to him. For you, it would be devastating to lose someone you've already taken a liking to after having a tender moment the night before.

Your lips parted but no sound would come out. Draken steps forward finally breaking the silence with aggression. "Oi, Takemitchy!" He hollered. "You better have a damn good explanation for what's going on. Didn't I warn ya not to try anything funny?" He growled. "I-it's not what you think!" The aforementioned boy stuttered. The blonde in question switches between his higher-ups, desperate to clear up the misunderstanding. He rambles on as Mikey strides up to you wearing his usual stoic expression. It's unpredictable of what he could be thinking; with each step, your heart races at an accelerating rate, almost as though it was about to jump out of your throat. The inconceivable fear of being dumped plays in your mind causing you to tremble.

"M-Mikey-Kun, I-" Takemichi's words are cut off.

"Shut up!" He whisper-shouted in a dangerous tone. Takemichi bites his tongue on command. Mikey's focus remains on you as if asking for an explanation. Whatever you say will decide your fate. It would be easy to get the words out if he wasn't so damn intimidating.

'Come on, (Y/n)! Say something damn it! You're making yourself look guilty. There was nothing going on. Why are you afraid of your own boyfriend? Speak....speak.....SPEAK!!!'

Finally, you open your mouth ready to tell him the truth. Instead, he interjects by throwing his jacket over your shoulders. "Draken, I'm taking (Y/n) home." He places his hand on the small of your back, ushering you away. "Takemitchy, I'll deal with you later." Said man gulps in response before agreeing to his condition. "Be careful. I'll watch over the runt." Draken added, squeezing the traitor's shoulder tight enough to bruise. The boy winces as crocodile tears run down his cheeks.

The ride home was a quiet one, even after arriving, he made no sound and there were no signs of anger anywhere. It left you perturbed.

'Maybe I'm overreacting? He's doesn't seem bothered at all?.

Is what you thought when you opened the door, but as soon as you kick off your shoes, you're pinned against the wall, startling you into locking eyes with his piercing onyx one. "How could you?" He whispered. "How could you allow someone else to touch you?" His fingers make quick work of the blouse fully unbuttoning it off until the fabric falls flat onto the floor, leaving you with nothing but your bra. "You ran to someone else for help and even agreed to wear their shirt." He said matter of fact. He bites your neck while pulling you close. You let out a Yelp trying to process what the hell is going on as everything was moving too fast. The bite sends a stimulating shiver down your back rather than feeling pain. "M-Mikey." You moaned unintentionally. Once set free, you cover yourself with his jacket dumbstruck by his behavior. You suddenly understand after some time why he was being calm and collected the entirety of the drive home because he was trying not to unravel in front of anyone except you. A private dispute between couples and his distress happens to be over something trivial. You had half a mind to scold him for scaring you half to death, but more so, you were relieved to the point where you snorted and let out a few chuckles before turning into a laugh. You cover your mouth trying to compose yourself while your boyfriend scowls in offense. "I'm being serious. You think it's funny?" He barked.

"No, of course not funny. It's just that I'm relieved that it wasn't because you thought I was cheating on you with Takemichi." You said. "You did cheat by going to him." He whined. "Sano..." His real name falling off your lips throws him off. When your beautiful eyes peek up at him, his heart suddenly skips a beat, and at that moment, the rage within quells with the help of your soft hands now caressing his face. "Takemichi was helping me. Someone pushed him and he bumped into me where I fell into the well and got my shirt soaked." You explained. "He offered me his shirt after I vented about being unable to enjoy the party. I'm sorry for upsetting you. I just didn't want you to see me defeated and especially not in front of your crew."
