Grotesque Boys, Rotten Romance
I have a problem. A thing I can't get out of my mind. A blonde sitting in a café in this god forsaken city a girl with brown hair is serving him coffee. I shouldn't even be here. Harald is probably out looking for me back in Sweden. I might call him later if I get the nerve. The blonde stares at when I am sitting.
"I swear Stephanie he looks just like Dragan Godwin form the WRGP." The blonde says with just the slightest traces of an accent.
"He should be in Sweden, why would he be here?" The girl asks.
"Because I am looking for you." I mutter under my breath and continue drinking my coffee.
"Look Stephanie he keeps looking at us and talking to himself." The blonde continues.
"Maybe you're just that famous." She sighs.
He puts his coffee down and stomps over to me. Time to high-tail it out of here. I stand up and he grabs my jacket collar. I slip out of it and run behind an alleyway to my D-Wheel. Jack pursues and I ride past. Spraying water on his face and drenching his hair. He looks cute like that I am going to have a lot of fun with this man. I ride back to my apartment just upstairs form where he is living. I smile to myself and hear him stomp up the stairs. There is a pair of heels clicking up with him.
"Mikage I swear on my kinghood that he is in the blasted city. Don't you believe me babe?" The blonde asks.
"I guess. But what is he doing here without Brave and Harald?" The woman asks back.
"I'll ask him next time our paths cross. I got his jacket."
I sit back on my chair and my phone rings and glows. I pick it up and the number is Harald's. I decide to let it ring. I listen to the blonde some more.
"You know Mikage I like you a lot I guess." He says after a while.
"Y-you do Atlus-Sama?" She giggles.
Sickening really, how can he keep himself occupied with such stupid girls? I understand if he was with Yuusei or Crow but the love struck harem he keeps is beyond me. I smile and the phone blinks. I lift it up and read the text.
'I know where you are and who you are going to see. Why are you going? I am coming to see you.'
The text reads form Harald. I get one from Brave seconds later.
'U with Jack? I know u are. Im coming. C U L8er.'
I smile again and snap the phone shut. I would be surprised if they didn't come. No, not surprised, offended. I turn on the TV and get quickly distracted by the sounds coming from downstairs.
"M-Mikage!" Jack screams banging against the wall.
No, no this doesn't work for me. I don't like this at all. Does that woman need a talking to? Oh she better not. Maybe I misheard the situation.
"I'm gonna…" Jack cries.
No, no mishearing. Oh this doesn't work for me. I sit in my room and draw some more. Pictures of Jack, I used to draw Harald and Brave but I cast them from my mind after they let me catch them. Too easy, it's always too easy and they never learn of my research skills.
"I am going to take a shower, okay Jack?" The woman asks.
"Yeah Mikage, it's alright." Jack answers.
I press my ear against the floor and hear the shower running. I lift up the phone and grin slyly.
"Yes I would like to report a crime, yes, yes it's here. There's been a murder I am afraid." I say.
I open the window and scale down the side of the apartment. I go right past Jack's room and he sees me from the corner of his eyes.
"Oh my God he's outside my frigging window!" Jack screams.
A nearly dressed Mikage comes out and sees at least some of me as I slide down quickly. I run to where my D-Wheel, the one I bought here, is sitting. I rev it up and don't even put a helmet on, I ride off. With a quick laugh I head over to the plane station and wait in the waiting room. I atch the news and Jack is on.
"Has anybody seen this man! He has been stalking me since the WRGP!" Jack asks the nation.
"Um, yes I am afraid he might turn dangerous." Mikage stutters.
The reporter, a young woman with dark green hair and swirl glasses holds her microphone up to Jack's face.
I laugh. That's when two individual footsteps in opposite directions start. The sound of sandals and the sound of leather boots. Yep, they're here. I smile and shut the news off as everyone turns to look at me. I have my hood pulled over my head. Harald walks over, his hips swinging as he does it. He frowns and taps my shoulder.
"Dragan why did you leave?" Harald asks.
Brave runs past and shoves his sunglasses up his nose.
"Yeah why did you go? Did we do something?" He pouts.
"No I just don't like you anymore. You got boring. I played in this game of yours listening to you, you bitch and now I'm bored. The only good thing that came about because of you two was me meeting Jack." I want to say.
What I say instead is,
"I can't stay in that place anymore. I was getting restless and needed to grow as my own person. It's okay if you hate me."
"We don't hate you." Brave smiles.
"No, you are a bit of jackass sometimes but we don't hate you." Harald sighs.
"Come back to my new apartment with me." I order.
Harald doesn't seem to notice it's a demand not a question.
"I think I'll get a hotel. What about you Brave?"
"I-I'll stay with you Dragan." Brave cowers.
Harald shrugs and take his bag and hails a cab.
"At least let me pay for your cab Harald." I say.
Brave shakes his head and Harald stares looking as if he was raising n eyebrow.
"No. I am rich remember?" He smirks.
The cab takes off. I look at him and grab Brave by the collar.
"Come on you are going to say hi to Jack and tell him that you wanted to stay home but now you and Harald are in the city and he and his friends should hang out with us sometime. Understand?" I growl.
Brave nods his head furiously.
"So what's this all about anyway?" He asks in the deafening silence that pierces the bubble of air surrounding my D-Wheel.
"It's about Jack and me. I want him."
"Isn't that a bit, stalker-y?"
"I am stalking him."
"Did you stalk us?"
"Yes over the internet though, you guys weren't as fun."
"So did you even care?"
"I did but not like that, not the way you want or wanted."
"It's okay; just don't do anything you'll regret."
When we get back t my place, the cops I called are gone. I unlock the door and see the purple-eyed hipster sitting on my sofa.
"Hey Dragan long time no see. Why aren't you in Sweden?" Jack asks.
"I…" I start.
"We came because we wanted to see you guys again. Harald is here too so why don't we all get together." Brave finishes hastily.
Oh yes this is good for me. I like this idea. I will become Jack's friend and deter him from that woman with bad intentions and a nice body. Stupid Brave you don't know what I want, do you? None of them do. He's my secret passion, my secret love. And even if this romance turns rotten I will keep him tied and chained to me.
