Work Text:
On a perfectly normal night, Takemitchy sleeps, snores if his body so much wants to due to the exhaustion he faces almost everyday, not to mention how his head is always thinking, thinking and thinking for ways to better the future and the past, it's a piece of work but hey he's a hero, Sleep is the cloest thing he'll have to a 12 year vacation and-
"Mitchy~"
What the fuck
"Hey Mitchy~"
That calming, smooth voice laced with mischief is too good to be true, perhaps this is a dream, he admittedly does have dreams concerning Mikey, some of them are nice, some of them are random and some are just...plain horrifying, the majority being horrifying as his mind pulls the same image over and over of Mikey dying in his arms, sometimes he even dreams of shooting Mikey himself- he worded that very wrongly, a cold object, he deduces for it to be Mikey's finger, sinks on his cheek, he grumbles, "Mitchy!" Mikey says a little louder, no he will not give in! He will never give in! He is Hanagaki Takemitchy, has been beaten up by a bunch of delinquents, also by Mikey himself, has been shot in the foot, in the chest also by Mikey himself, has seen the deaths of his friends multiple times, and for him to give up his deserved sleep because of the strongest man in Tokyo is poking him is just plains stupid
"Hey Mitchy Wake up!" Nope
"Mitchy, we have an emergency you need to help me eat all the dorayakis, they're too many" Doubt that
"I'll give you back your favorite shirt" So that's where it went
"I take back that time i said you had a big ass...no i won't" Wait what?
"Mitchy!" His body is being shaken, does Takemitchy care? No
"Ta-ke-mitchy" Mikey utters then sighs, footsteps were made, Takemitchy mistakens that he has finally left, he cracks an eye to check
But that was an oh-so big mistake
Mikey is still there, a huge grin spread on his face, Takemitchy groans at his foolishness and defeat "Mitchy! You're awake!" He sighs "What is it Mikey? It's--he cranes his head to look at his alarm-- 3 in the morning, what are you doing here?" His blanket is yanked for him and he whines at the loss, "Stand up Mitchy"
"What? Why?
"We're going on an adventure!
"What-"
So here he is, on Mikey's Babu, his arms encircled on Mikey's waist, his head on Mikey's back, the blond did not seem to mind, riding through town was comforting as he tried to catch some sleep, the cold breeze sliding on his face helped, the sound of the engine and the occasional revving invades his ears, sooths him, Mikey's presence fills whatever kind of hole that his friends or his succesful future timelines could not do, maybe this wasn't such a bad idea but what exactly could this be adventure Mikey had woken him into and referred, Whatever he was here, and his usual and well-rested self could have exploded with the care but he was not that, so he closes his eyes
"Hey Mitchy, don't go sleeping on me, we're almost there"
Takemitchy groans
"The bare minimum you could do for me when I had agreed to this adventure is you let me sleep"
It's terrifying how his mind automatically conjures up Mikey's pout
Mikey is right when he says they're almost there as the ride had skid to a stop, and came Mikey's cheerful voice "Mitchy, we're here!" He blinks to clear his hazy vision, at first a yellow, red and white blur is all he sees then the color steadies
Oh
Mcdonalds
They're in Mcdonalds
Before he was able to question why, Mikey's Babu zooms to the drive-thru, "What flavor do you want Mitchy?" He stares at Mikey, his black eyes waiting "Uh-what?" "Flavor. Ice Cream" Oh, he rubs his cheek, sleeping exiting his system, he is faced with his most hardest decision yet, Vanilla plain as it is, is still great, Caramel's taste is great but after a while it gets sickening, that leaves him with chocolate "Uh chocolate" Mikey's face brightens up "We're the same then!" It honestly amuses him to see Mikey get worked up by such a trivial thing such as ice cream
Once Mikey retrieved their desserts, giving him his cup, the white was submerged below and on top lays the chocolate, some parts of it reaches out to the Vanilla, and before he could open it, the bike speeds up, Takemitchy abruptly wraps his arm around Mikey's waist, while the other grabbed his cup, it was unbearable as his hand was starting to get numb from the coldness, on the other side the cars to blurs of light, though honking was everywhere due to traffic, the orange lights stays on one spot "Where else are we going?" Mikey only chuckles, revving his engine
Would you believe that Takemitchy saw his future here and then? Probably
The pace Mikey had set could have rivaled the wind as Takemitchy felt the it behind them, Mikey's joyous laugh ringing around, somehow something rumbles in his chest and laughs spills out of him then they are both laughing, hardly a care for the world around them though the bike unfortunately slows down and he notices they were way past the honking, the bright lights, just peace and quiet, it was a baywalk, the sea beneath them and a factory afar, Mikey got off the bike and looks at him "You alright there Takemitchy?" He nods and Mikey gestures for him to sit with him on the large ledge surrounding the bay
Blue waves shone with the moonlight perched infront of them, the stars were nowhere to be seen as if they made way for the largest and strongest light to claim the night, Mikey was already munching on his ice cream when all of a sudden, he winces and lets out a groan "Ohhh Brainfreeze!" Takemitchy snorts "I'm surprised someone like you would have that" Mikey pouts at him "So mean Mitchy" then returns to eating his dessert
Takemitchy likes the calm, and the ice cream, melting in his mouth, he lets out a big sigh and is about to eat another spoon of his dessert when he sees Mikey scooting over to him, his face expectant and so is his mouth; opened "Ah" Takemitchy looks at Mikey's cup and it's already been empty. Unbelievable. His eyes flickers to the cup, his cup and to Mikey, it goes on and on when he sighs and lifts the spoon into Mikey's mouth instead "Thanks Takemitchy!" Such a gesture makes his heart flutter and he quickly wills his gaze on the sight before them to appease it
Silence hangs over them and Mikey seems to enjoy the quiet as much as Takemitchy, he is almost afraid to break it but the question slips out;
"Hey, this is great and all, but...why did you bring me here?" Mikey raises an eyebrow, looking at him "I mean, you could spend this with anyone, like Draken or Mitsuya, but why me?" His black gaze burns within him and he curses himself for asking a question that's most likely never going to be answered- "Well, we're friends aren't we? You're special to me and besides you look like you could use a break" His eyes widen and tears quickly gather in his eyes, Mikey laughs and pat his back "now, now don't go crying on me Mitchy or i'll get your ice cream!" to prove his point he grabs the dessert but luckily he was able to move it away
Takemitchy smiles at him "Thank you Mikey"
Maybe it was an adventure after all
