Take Me Away from Them: Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The hunt

Mishima tossed and turned as the sunlight filled the room. He dreaded opening his eyes to find out that everything was a dream and that he was still in the alley. Getting the courage to open his eyes, he noticed that he was looking at a black and white cat that was sleeping at the foot of the bed. Slowly, he turned around to see the sleeping face of Akira.

"Oh my God. It wasn't a dream! It happened! It really happened!" Mishima tried his hardest to keep quiet as he gushed over his dream being real. Mishima savored this moment to look at Akira's face. He's rarely ever seen him without his glasses. "He looks so hot. God I wish he'd keep them off, it suits him better." thought Mishima. After about five minutes of looking at his boyfriend, he finally woke up. He looked at the blue haired boy with affection.

"Good morning. Been awake long?" asked Akira, pulling Mishima in for a hug and quick kiss. Morgana woke up to see them kiss and gave a teasing hiss towards them. "Hush you." Mishima could only giggle at Akira talking to his cat which he noticed happened quite a lot during school or when they were together.

"It was the best night sleep I have had in years. You wouldn't think it, but your bed is super comfy. I don't want to leave it." sated Mishima. He could get lost in those eyes of Akira if he stared too long and he'd wouldn't care. He feels safer and more relaxed than ever before and it's all thanks to Akira. "Just to settle my paranoia, we are together right? Like boyfriends?" asked Mishima even though he knew the answer.

"Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. We are a thing and I will always be with you." Akira said this while cuddling up with his boyfriend. If it wasn't for the fact it was a school day the two of them would just spend the rest of the day in bed. But they both knew there was work to be done. "Okay, first things first. I need to tell the group about us. You can come with me if you want." Mishima nodded, he was finally going to see who was Phantom Thieves and who wasn't as he never really knew what people were in the group. "Secondly, we need to find those bullies and put a stop to them and fast. We are all pitching in and we want your help to. Will you help us?" asked Akira.

"You don't need to say it twice. Of course I will. But, do you think the others will be okay with me helping? I mean I know the Phan-Site is helping you guys but I mean directly helping you." Akira chuckled and nodded, again letting Mishima's paranoia not get the best of him. "Right I guess we better not waste any time. Let's get to the school." Akira was amused that the boy had the energy of a cheetah even after everything was said and done. The two had a quick wash and got changed into their uniforms. Akira looked at Mishima's stomach and chest to see that the bruises were more redder than yesterday.

"How are you feeling? You still sore?" Mishima looked down and noticed how bad the damage was. "If you're not feeling it, don't push yourself. The last thing I want is for you to get hurt again." Akira hugged Mishima and kissed him on the forehead. The love coming from Akira was enough motivation to carry on for Mishima.

"I'm still a bit sore but compared to last night it's nothing. I'll be fine." Mishima then looked down onto the ground and whispered "Just as long as I'm with you okay?" Lucky Akira heard what he had stated and kissed him square on the lips.

"You're too cute for your own good ya know?" Mishima laughed at that and the two made their way down stairs, with Morgana jumping into Akira's bag. The two left the cafe and quickly made it to the train station. Today was going to be a long day for sure.

The two males boarded the train to the school. Along the way they talked about how they were going to deal with the bullies. With very little leads, Futaba managed to come up with a plan.

Futaba: Okay, I managed to hack into the school camera's. If I'm lucky, I might be able to spot them heading towards a hideout or something.

Akira: Good idea. Could you take a screen shot of them if you manage to find them.

Makoto: That way we can use the school records to get their names. If all goes well, this should be a piece of cake.

Ryuji: I hope luck is on our side today. Ann and I can still have a look around and ask people. Maybe they might know something about them.

Yusuke: I've come short on my side. Seems that no one knows about the group in my area. Will keep asking.

Ann: Maybe we could get a location of where they go after school. Or at least a place where they are normally seen.

Akira: Whatever we do, we do it fast and keep a low profile. Don't let anyone on to what we are doing, we may attract their attention.

Ryuji: Speaking of low profile, how did you and Mishima do last night?

Ann: RYUJI! DON'T ASK QUESTIONS LIKE THAT!

Yusuke: It's quite rude to ask that sort of question Ryuji.

Akira: It's fine Ann. He confessed himself last night. I couldn't believe it.

Futaba: AW YEAH! Getting right in there eh, our fearless leader?

Makoto: Okay calm down. Congratulations Akira, it was a long time coming

Akira: Thanks guys. I'm almost at my stop. See you at school. Remember, don't let anyone onto what we are doing.

With everyone agreeing, Mishima looked at Akira with tired eyes. "I wish I got another hour of sleep. They did a number on me." Mishima move his body slightly and a pain went right up his back. It wasn't as bad compared to yesterday but it still hurt. "I guess I didn't fully heal after all." said Mishima wincing at the pain. Suddenly, Akira started rubbing Mishima's back to try and give him relief from the pain.

"Hopefully this will help the pain feel less...well painful." joked Akira as he continued to rub the other male's back as they finally reached their stop. The two moved their way to the school together. Mishima was a bit worried that the bullies would jump on him, but Akira was right with him so he felt protected. Throughout the day, the gang asked around for any information on the bullies. They managed to find out a couple of spots where they are normally seen. Futaba only managed to find a camera for one of the spots. If this wasn't the spot, it would be even more difficult. With a stroke of luck, the spot was the correct location. Futaba saw three males make their way to the location. They talked a bit until they were in the clear. As soon as they were alone, the gang took out black masks from their backs and made their way outside of the school area. Futaba reminded the footage back to the point she could see the boy's faces clearly and took a screenshot and sent it to the group chat.

Futaba: Managed to catch them!

Ann: ALRIGHT! Good going everyone!

Yusuke: Perfect. Now we can put them in their place.

Makoto: We aren't finished. We need a name for these three. Meet me at the student consul office, I'll have a list of pictures and names from all years ready.

Ryuji: Aw man! This will take forever!

Akira: Then you better get your ass up there. We don't want to waste anymore time before more become victim to them.

Futaba: Good luck everyone. I get ready for our Mementos trip

Yusuke: I'll make my way to the cafe as soon as I'm finished.

The rest of the thieves made their way to the student consul office. After going through the year books, they managed to find the boys in the 3rd year book. The names Junichi Hoga, Dai Naito, and Akihiro Kubo were the names that matched the the boys in the image.

"We got them now!" stated Makoto. "We best get back to the cafe fast. The sooner we get this done, the better it is for everyone." Everyone agreed and made their way to the entrance of the school. Before heading off, Mishima stopped Akira.

"Um...can I come to the cafe with you? It's just that I'm afraid to go on my own after what happened yesterday." asked Mishima. Akira looked at the boy and smiled, giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Of course. I won't be able to bring you with us when we do our "change of heart" but you can stay at the cafe until we come back okay? And after everything is over and done with-" said Akira leaning into Mishima and whispered "I have things planned for you that I know you'd enjoy." Mishima was getting weak with anticipation. While it may be selfish, he wished they would get this over and done with fast so the two can share some alone time with each other. "Let's head back okay? I promise it will be worth the wait." With that, the two made their way back to the cafe. Akira, despite teasing Mishima, really wanted to have his way with the boy as soon as possible. But as he said, it will be worth the wait.

End of Chapter 2

Hey! Sorry about the long wait for this chapter. Couple of things kept me busy. But I've been taking my time with this so hopefully it will be better than my past fics. As always, review and feedback is welcomed. Until next chapter!

P.S: I know it's a bit unprofessional (since when was this professional anyway?) but a review for this fic seems to not understand what this is going for.
1. "Bit gay tbh." Well...duh.
2. "Should've stuck with Sonic fics." Well I would if I ever did them. If you're gonna be critical, do it right and not be a troll, otherwise you come off as a bit of a dick. Hell it wasn't even that good of a troll.
