"That concludes tonight's meeting. Dismiss!" Draken shouted, the Toman members shouted their affirmation and dispersed leaving only the founding members and their vices remaining at the shrine.
Draken approached the sitting figure in the middle of the building and nudge him with his foot.
"Oi Mikey, meetings over wake up already." the Toman's leader stood up swaying before slumping against his second in command with an oof.
"Ken-chin! Carry me." the teen whined. Draken sighed before grudgingly hoisting up the smaller teen on his back.
"Wanna get something to eat and hang out?" Mitsuya asked, his mother was home today and had basically threw him out their door telling him to have fun and don't worry about the his younger sisters since she has it covered.
"Food!" Mikey nodded vigorously throwing his hands in the air in excitement.
"Oi calm down will you, you're gonna fall off!" Draken shouted, tightening his hold.
"Mmm Yuzuha's staying with a friend tonight, no one will cook for me so count me in." Hakkai said.
"You seriously need to learn to cook, the basics will do." Mitsuya said to his vice.
"Well if you're offering to teach taka-chan then why not." Hakkai replied with a grin.
"Oi I never offered."
"We can do it over on the weekends, bring Mana and Luna along too!" Mitsuya just shook his head fondly and gave up.
"Ahh I'm going as well. Baji-san your mom's out of town you'll be coming too?" Baji grumbled a yes before following Mitsuya down the shrine.
"How about you partner? You've been quiet the whole night." Chifuyu elbowed the other blond teen startling him.
"Who— wha— what did you say?"
"I said we're going out to eat, you joining? and quit spacing out." scolded the first division vice captain. Takemichi laughed nervously.
"Ah sorry about that, yeah sure I'll come along but I'll have to leave early."
"Ehh but who's gonna treat me to dorayaki after." Mikey complained, peeking over Draken's shoulder.
"Sorry Mikey-kun, I have a date with Hina tomorrow. I need to get ready for it."
"No fair!"
"They're dating, it's only natural they spend time together." Takashi said as they headed to their bikes.
"Buuuut— Takemitchy take me with you tomorrow too."
"What! Mikey-kun that's not possible. It's just gonna be me and Hina." the Toman leader pouted as Draken placed him on his motorcycle and a helmet on his Commanders head before mounting the bike himself.
"I know you were gonna be like this," Takemichi said loud enough for only Chifuyu to hear, "I'll tell on Emma. Both your sister amd Hina have been getting along well so she knows about tomorrows date, she said If you tag along she won't make you breakfast for a week." he threatened and Mikey crossed his arms across his chest before looking away.
The gang looked shock at how Takemichi managed to stomp the scariest person they knew. They mentally clap at him.
"Haha, nice one. We might make a decent delinquent out of you yet." Baji cackled.
The rest laughed along and mounted their bikes, Takemichi riding along Chifuyu and drove off.
The next day the founding members and some of the vice captains found themselves gathered in the middle of a park, each sporting a confused expression as they watch their leader walk back and forth.
"Ok is no one gonna ask why we're here." Keisuke loudly whispered and Chifuyu elbowed the older teen. Takashi shrugged and offered a reassuring smile to his vice who was looking nervous watching Mikey pace. Draken sighed and hauled Mikey and sat him on the swing.
"So why'd you all call us here?" Ryuuguuji broached.
"Takemitchy."
"Ehh?" all chorused.
"He's on a date right now." Mikey added, the gangs confusion just seemed to grow.
"And?"
"Wait— don't tell me you wanna crash their date!" Chifuyu exclaimed. Mitsuya and Shiba exchange incredulous glances while Baji started wheezing on the side.
"Oi don't tell me you're jealous of Takemitchy." said the vice Commander.
"I'm not."
"... Tachibana then?" Draken willed himself to calm down, losing his temper would be a waste of energy.
"No."
"Mikey, we aren't going anywhere here with you not telling us anything. So, why'd you have us gather and what does it have to do with Takemitchy?" Mitsuya intervened before the half of the twin dragon exploded.
The short blonde gestured wildly, swinging back and fort on his seat. "We're gonna help him out!"
The group fell in to silence. They don't know where their leader got the idea to butt in on others business but at the back of their mind they know they were in for a tiring day.
Plus the were pretty sure Takemichi doesn't need help from someone who hasn't even gotten a girlfriend once in their life. They all thought collectively.
After the group tracked down the glasses wearing member of Hanagaki's friend and convincing (scaring) him to sharing Takemichis location, the Toman members found themselves sitting in the movie theater a couple of seats behind the couple.
A romantic comedy film was playing on the big screen and Chifuyu and his fellow vice, Hakkai, was fully invested on the story while the rest of the Captains kept a close eye on their commander.
"What do you think Mikey's planning?" Baji asked as he spat some stale popcorn and glared at the people at his back who hissed at him to shut up. He hissed at them back.
Draken smack him in the head. "Shhh keep it quiet." chastised the blond. Any other day, Ryuguji would have cared less. He wasn't one to meddle in other's affairs but Emma personally requested they keep her brother from ruining Hina's date after getting wind of what Mikey was planning to do from Matsuno.
"Mhhm guys Mikeys on the move." said Mitsuya.
"Crap." Draken got up from his seat and stalked after their leader who was inching nearer the couple. The movie goers made some noises at the couple of teens blocking their view. This seem to catch Takemichi's attention causing him to look behind. He yelped when he saw glaring eyes of the people seated behind which he thought was aimed at him. The young teen immediately stared ahead on the screen.
"Hmm what is it?" Hina asked.
"Ahhh nothing, it was nothing." Takemichi replied sinking further in tk his seat. Hina just hummed and rested her head on her boyfriends shoulder who relaxed at the contact.
Behind the couples seat Draken and Mikey were crouched, Drakens hand on Mikeys mouth to keep him quiet. The younger blonde bit into the older teens hand causing Draken to let go.
"Ken-chin what was that about?"
"What were you doing?" Draken whispered harshly as he pulled Mikey back to their seat.
"I was just gonna tell Takemitchy he should put his arm around Tachibana." said their leader who pulled a crumpled notebook from somewhere and showed Draken an image with the caption 'if you're going on a date to the movies, pretend to yawn and casually place your arm around your girl.' accompanied by a thumbs up.
The vice commander stared at the notebook before asking in a deadpan voice.
"What the hell is that?"
"It's Shinichirou's Guide to Getting Lucky." Mikey showed the front of the notebook which had what Mikey said written in the covers.
"Found this while Emma forced me to clean yesterday."
"Mikey, you and I both knew that your brother had the worst luck with the opposite sex and was the lamest person to offer advices when it comes to relationships."
"Oh... wait you're right."
After the movie Takemichi and Hinata went window shopping naturally the group followed suit. They would occasionally be successful in distracting their leader with the colorful printed apparels from the shop across from where Takemichi and Hinata were. After a few more shops and booths, the couple went inside a quaint looking restaurant to presumably eat lunch.
The gang exchanged looks with each other before carefully entering the same restaurant taking caution not to be seen by the pair. After they seated themselves, the six teens hid behind the menu.
"I really don't understand why we're still doing this." Hakkai said to Chifuyu.
"I know but at least we got to watch that movie. I didn't expect it to be that good."
"Oh your right!" the pair continued to talk in their own world. Meanwhile Mikey, Draken and Mitsuya looked over the menu deciding on what to order after a tiring day of walking around the city.
Baji, who had been patient and quiet, or patient enough in his own standard was getting tired and bored of walking around and following the sickeningly lovey-dovey couple. He just had enough of it was about to leave his seat and demand the boyfriend girlfriend duo to at least go and do something interesting when a pair of bright eyes and matching bright smile greeted him with a "hi."
The dark long haired teen fell back on his seat in surprise, causing the rest to swerve their heads towards him and the other figure.
"Tachibana-san." Mitsuya was the first to greet her. She waved at all of them. Draken cranked his head behind her and noticed Takemichi wasn't on his seat. Noticing this Hina piped in.
"Takemichi-kun is in the bathroom. Do you want to join table? You guys were hardly inconspicuous following us you know."
When Takemichi returned back from the bathroom it was to the sight of his and Hina's table joined by another one to make it longer and a laughing Hina to whatever Chifuyu was telling her.
"What are you all doing here!" the poor blonde screeched in surprise.
"Lunch of course." Mikey said as he took a bite of his chicken.
"Yup lunch." the rest of the guys echoed. Hina giggled and Takemichi just hang his head in defeat before taking his seat besides his girlfriend.
