Draken almost walks into on-going traffic as he stares in shock at the utter abomination before him.
He was walking down the street when he saw Emma, the girl he's had a crush on for years, walking arm in arm with some black haired guy that he's never seen before.
Too curious, Draken stopped paying attention to his surroundings and ended up walking towards the middle of the road.
Fortunately, he caught himself in time and avoided being ran over by a vehicle and turned into a pancake.
Draken stands near a parked car and rubs at his eyes to make sure that he isn't hallucinating. That blonde girl is Emma alright!
She's even throwing her head back and giggling at whatever the guy is saying, and Draken feels a pang of jealousy within in his chest.
He wants to be the one to make Emma laugh like that.
Is the ravenette her boyfriend? How long have they been dating? Did he-
No, no, no. Surely, if Emma was seeing someone, Mikey would've told him so... Unless the midget himself doesn't even know about it.
Draken observes his rival. The guy is a little taller than Emma and looks to be within their age group. He's dressed like he doesn't know anything about fashion, and his hair is unkempt and tossed all over the place, but he looks like he's all about kindness, sunshine, and peace.
Is this the type that Emma likes, soft-looking and approachable guys? After all, Draken looks super intimidating and people often try to avoid him.
The pair turns into the nearest clothing store and Draken decides to follow them.

It's only been a couple of minutes and Draken can't bear to watch this heart-break any longer.
The way Emma and her boyfriend interact, they've clearly been dating for a very long time. They're so comfortable around each other, it makes Draken feel sick to his stomach. He makes a mental note to corner Mikey and question him later.
Having enough, he walks up to the two and makes his presence known. "Hey, Emma," he casually greets the blonde who is scanning through sweaters with the ravenette.
Both of them startle at the voice and whip their heads up at him. Draken shoots a quick glare at the boy and feels satisfaction when he flinches a little.
"Oh, Draken! What are you doing here?" Emma asks shyly.
"I was just looking around when I saw you guys." He looks at Emma's boyfriend and tilts his head in his direction. "Who's this?"
"Oh, this is my brother, Takemitchy. He just came back from America."
Draken almost chokes on his spit. "Hah? Brother?!" he shouts. The saleswomen nearby shush him and he quickly apologizes to them for the outburst.
"Yes," Takemitchy replies with a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Draken-kun."
The older male curses under his breath.
