Draken lay motionless on the paramedic bed and Takemichi’s mouth slightly opened.
What was happening? No, there was no way Draken would die. It was just impossible. His voice trembled as he uttered a pathetic “what?” to what Senju had said.
Takemichi reached to hold Draken’s hand. It was cold, almost as if the life had been sucked out of him.
Before he could think more about it, Mikey pulled up.
“M-Mikey?”
Mikey was silent for a few seconds as the wind blew past his hair, making it wave in a way that slightly warmed Takemichi’s heart . It was so familiar.
“What happened here?”
No one replied in the crowd among both gangs that were about to go to war. Deadly silence rang loud until Takemichi forced his voice out.
“D-Draken…he was…”
The paramedics had not yet left, but we're about to take off when Mikey asked, “He was what?”
“He’s not alive, young man,” the paramedic said in reply.
Mikey’s eyes widened for a second, after which he walked past the two gangs. His hand went to touch Draken’s and slowly, his body shook ever so slightly. He could tell Mikey was trying not to cry. The crowds went silent when suddenly, Senju started laughing.
“Please, guys! It was just a joke”
“What?” Takemichi said and Mikey turned to her in shock.
Draken got up and started laughing too. “Yeah it was all just a prank bro”.
“What?” Mikey said now.
“Pretty good acting, huh?”
“I cried for you!” Takemichi yelled out.
“Yeah and I appreciate it, but come on, you have to appreciate how good the prank is!”
“Well, I guess youre right” Takemichi said with a smile, wiping his tears.
Mikey was still processing.
“Yeah, it was a youtube prank”
“Wait, no way!! Do you think we’ll get a lot of views?” Takemichi asked
“Definitely. Come on, I was just messing with you Mikey” Draken punched Mikey’s arm.
“By pretending to be dead?”
“Yeah, now I know that sounds messed up, but the views are gonna be worth it. Now come on and get back with us, we care about you”
“But I can’t go back. The dark impulses…”
“It’s just your emo phase Mikey, now come on. I’m sending you to therapy”
“No therapy is gay”
“No, you are,” Draken said.
Then suddenly, Takemichi kissed Mikey on the cheek.
“Damn, you right ig, but I don't wanna go to therapy”
“Too bad, therapy for you and you” Draken picked up Mikey and then took him away while everyone laughed and had a happy party after.
Then Mikey was not depressed anymore nor was I. Baji too because he came back to life suddenly and married Chifuyu. Oh Emma too, she was just playing a prank too to get back at Mikey for stealing her sweatshirt.
And they all lived happily ever after. Especially Mikey who was very happy and smiled every day because he got to eat his dorayaki with friends.
