Y/n closed his eyes as he smiled, letting the wind hit his face as it pleased. He and Draken were sharing a bike as Mikey and Takemichi were sharing another. Draken and Takemichi were the ones peddling the bike as Y/n and Mikey sat behind them. Y/n let the wind mess up his hair a bit as the breeze was feeling nice. The sun was high in the air showing off the still clouds that were in the blue sky.

"Something on your mind, Butterfly?" Draken asked as, when he looked back, noticed that Y/n's mind was elsewhere and not on the conversation that Mikey was having with Takemichi.

Y/n let out a small hum as he let (e/c) peek out of his eyelids, "I was thinking of visiting my mom," He said.

Draken, knowing how Y/n's mother was like, eyes soften at Y/n's words, "I think she would like that. Besides, when was the last time you've seen her? I'm sure she misses you."

Y/n let out a soft chuckle and gave a pointed smile, "I doubt that. Oh! I should probably get something for her. What do you think I should get her?"

"Ha?? You're asking me that? She's your mother, I don't what she would like."

"Hmm, maybe I should get something for Emma too while I'm at it. What do you think?"

Draken grunted as he blushed at the kind nature that Y/n had. No matter where he went, Y/n would always think of others and what they would like. Some people would say that Y/n is cold hearted and the only kind thing that he does is give medical care to the gang. However, that wasn't true. Once you get to know Y/n better, once you become his friend and someone that's close to him, he will treat you like gold.

"You know," Y/n started, his voice softer and a bit more tired sounding than before but he kept his pointed smile, "I still miss 'her'."

"I know, Y/n..." Draken said, "It's going to be okay."

Y/n let out a small hum as he leaned to Draken's back, "I'm grateful to have friends like you. I mean it."

Draken was thankful that Y/n wasn't able to see his blushing face.

Y/n was sitting on the grassy ground as he let Mikey do most of the talking to Takemichi. He kept his smile as it seemed like he was enjoying the moment he was having. The small group decided to take a small break from biking and made a small stop. The breeze still felt nice as the sun shined down at the four males. However, one of them listened closely to what the other three had to say to him.

"This is an era when delinquents are called 'lame', isn't it?" Mikey questioned, making Takemichi listen to him closely, "In my brother's generation, there were quite a lot of street gangs in this area. There, you'd listen to your intuition and acted on it. Everyone acted big."

"And all they did was fight," Draken added.

"But everyone took care of themselves," Y/n pointed out.

"What was so lame about those guys?" Mike asked as he plopped down next to Y/n on the grass, "That's why I'm going to create an era for delinquents."

Y/n let out a small chuckle, "The true era for us. Some place or time where we can fit in with 'the norm'."

Mikey turned back to Takemichi with a warm smile, "You should accompany me, accompany us, on that journey. I was pleased by you, Hanagaki Takemichi."

"We have plenty of guys that are good at fighting," Draken stated as he too smiled at Takemichi, "But there aren't many guys like you who would stand against anyone. If it were for something you couldn't 'give up'."

"You have an amazing amount of courage for someone like you, Take-Chan," Y/n said as he helped himself and Mikey off of the ground, "Determination is key to being a delinquent, and that is something you possess."

Draken nodded as Mikey started to walk away, "So, think about it, Takemicchi."

Takemichi watched as Draken and Mikey were slowly walking away. He couldn't help but feel proud in himself. He watched them with a smile, knowing that he was in good hands. However, Y/n stayed behind a bit longer. Takemichi look towards the (f/c) dyed male in questioning.

"Take-Chan, I believe that whatever you put your mind to, will happen one way or another," Y/n said with a smile, "It may seem difficult to get there, but with your determination, I feel like you would achieve your goal. I admire that about you, Takemichi. Who knows, though. Stay safe, Take-Chan."

With that, Y/n ran off to Draken and Mikey, catching up to them in no time. The breeze passed by, playing with Takemichi's bleach blond hair. His eyes were wide in amazement and shock as his mouth was slightly agape. He couldn't help but feel his heart pick up speed a bit and his cheeks warmed to a pink-ish-red color. He stared at Y/n's retreating figure.

Takemichi knew it was wrong to 'like' someone else when you already had a partner. But he couldn't help but think about a life, or a timeline, where Y/n and Hina would be by his side. Hina wouldn't have to die, and Y/n wouldn't have to disappear suddenly. Just the three of them, all happy together. It would be a fantasy come true.

Takemichi smiled brightly, "I won't let you down, Y/n," He said, more to himself than to anyone else.

"So, what did you tell Takemicchi?" Mikey asked as Y/n had caught up to him and Draken.

"Oh nothing~" Y/n said as he put his hands behind his back, "It was just some words I thought he need to hear. The look in his eyes made it seem like hasn't heard a praise before in his life. Such a poor thing. He reminds me of a puppy."

"I thought you didn't like dogs?" Draken questions, teasingly.

An irk mark appeared on Y/n's cheek as he kept his smile, "I hate BIG dogs, there's a difference. I can still appreciate small dogs and puppies, at least."

"Butterfly-chin~" Mikey whined, "What did you say to Takemicchi earlier?? I want to knowww."

"Well, you're not going to know, it was for Take-Chan only. Look, how about I buy us all some food, yeah? We can some omurice."

"YES!"

"It's it a bit late for omurice?" Draken questioned.

"Food is food, Draken, shut the fuck up."

"If you two are going to fight I will leave."
