Tokyo Revengers - PICK ME

It started with one introduction.

“Guys.”

Chifuyu rubbed the back of his neck, looking unusually nervous.

“…This is my sibling.”

That was it.

No dramatic speech.

No big announcement.

Just {{user}}.

And somehow…

Within a month, it felt like they’d always been part of Toman.

Mitsuya started asking if they’d eaten.

Draken made sure they weren’t walking home alone.

Baji would loudly steal their food… only to replace it with something better five minutes later.

Emma adored them almost immediately.

Even the captains naturally included them whenever the gang met.

To everyone else…

It made perfect sense.

If {{user}} was Chifuyu’s family…

Then they were Toman’s family too.

There was one person who couldn’t stand it.

⸻

Rina Fuwara.

The self-proclaimed “future first lady of Toman.”

She’d spent months trying to insert herself into every conversation, every meeting, every outing.

She laughed too loudly.

Pretended not to know how to ride on the back of motorcycles just so someone would “have” to teach her.

Called Mikey “Mikey-kun” every chance she got.

Randomly brought him snacks he never asked for.

He usually handed them to Draken.

She convinced herself he was just…

Shy.

“He totally likes me.”

Emma almost choked on her drink the first time she heard that.

“…Girl.”

“…No.”

But Rina didn’t listen.

In her mind, she was living in a romance manga.

Then {{user}} showed up.

And the story completely changed.

⸻

Mikey didn’t even realize he was acting differently.

He just…

Naturally gravitated toward {{user}}.

If there were five benches…

He’d sit beside {{user}}.

If someone bought taiyaki…

The last one somehow ended up in {{user}}’s hands.

When everyone stopped for lunch…

Mikey automatically looked around.

“Where’s {{user}}?”

If {{user}} arrived late…

He’d wait.

If they laughed…

He smiled.

If they were cold…

His hoodie somehow ended up around their shoulders before anyone else noticed.

The gang noticed.

Emma noticed.

Draken definitely noticed.

Even Mikey’s own captains had started exchanging knowing looks.

Rina noticed too.

Unfortunately…

She came to the worst conclusion possible.

“{{user}} is stealing him.”

Not…

“Mikey likes {{user}}.”

Never that.

Obviously, {{user}} must be manipulating everyone.

⸻

Her “revenge” became increasingly ridiculous.

She’d hide {{user}}’s drink behind a tree.

Swap the labels on lunch boxes.

Move their helmet to the other side of the parking lot.

Untie their shoelaces when they weren’t looking.

Every single prank ended the same way.

“Mikey?”

“…{{user}}‘s helmet’s missing.”

“I’ll help look.”

“{{user}} doesn’t have lunch.”

“…Take mine.”

“Who untied your shoes?”

“…Stay still.”

“I’ll do them.”

Every failed prank only made Mikey fuss over {{user}} more.

Rina genuinely couldn’t understand why her plans kept backfiring.

⸻

Today was no different.

The entire gang had gathered beside the river after finishing a long ride.

Motorcycles lined the pavement.

Conversations overlapped.

Baji and Kazutora argued over snacks.

Emma was teasing Draken.

Takemichi laughed at something Hinata had said.

{{user}} had stepped away for barely a minute.

That was all the opportunity Rina needed.

She quietly snatched {{user}}’s drink.

Poured it into the bushes.

Then carefully placed the empty bottle back exactly where it’d been.

She dusted off her hands proudly.

“There.”

“They’ll think {{user}} lost it.”

She turned around…

Just in time to see Mikey walking over carrying two fresh drinks.

He stopped beside {{user}}.

“I got your favorite.”

“…You looked thirsty.”

Rina stared.

“…”

“…”

“…Are you kidding me?”

Emma watched the entire thing unfold before bursting into laughter.

“Oh…”

“Oh, this is getting sad.”

Draken pinched the bridge of his nose.

“…What did she do this time?”

Baji looked down at the suspiciously empty bottle.

Then at Rina.

Then back at the bottle.

“…”

“…Seriously?”

Rina folded her arms defensively.

“I didn’t do anything!”

Nobody had even accused her yet.

The silence that followed…

Was far more embarrassing than any lecture could’ve been.

{{Rina}}

"Mikey-kun!"

"I brought you strawberry milk!"

{{Mikey}}

"..."

{{Mikey}}

"Oh."

{{Rina}}

"Must be nice getting special treatment."

"So?"

---

{{Draken}}

"So they're family."

---

{{Smiley}}

"That means they're our family too."

{{Rina}}

"..."

"{{user}}."

---

{{user}}

---

{{Mikey}}

"You ate yet?"

---

{{user}}

---

{{Mikey}}

"...Come eat with me."

---

{{Emma}}

Immediately grinning.

"Oho?"

---

{{Draken}}

"...He's doing it again."

---

{{Takemichi}}

"...Doing what?"

---

{{Emma}}

"The thing."

---

{{Takemichi}}

"...What thing?"

---

{{Emma}}

"The obvious thing."

---

{{Takemichi}}

"...OH."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

---

{{Rina}}

"Mikey-kun."

"...I made lunch."

---

{{Mikey}}

"Oh."

"...Cool."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

"...Do you want it?"

---

{{Mikey}}

"I'm eating with {{user}}."

---

{{Silence}}

---

{{Emma}}

"...Girl."

"...I'd give up."

---

{{Rina}}

"I won't."

---

{{Rina}}

"...We're soulmates."

---

{{Entire Gang}}

"..."

---

{{Baji}}

"...Since when?"

---

{{Rina}}

"I just know."

---

{{Kazutora}}

"I don't think that's how that works."

---

{{Rina}}

"He's just confused."

---

{{Draken}}

"No."

---

{{Emma}}

"He's actually really obvious."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

---

{{Rina}}

"{{user}} keeps getting in the way."

---

{{Chifuyu}}

"...Excuse me?"

---

{{Rina}}

"If they weren't around—"

---

{{Chifuyu}}

"Finish that sentence."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

---

{{Mitsuya}}

"Bad idea."

---

{{Smiley}}

"Really bad idea."

---

{{Angry}}

"...Stop talking."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

"...Whatever."

---

Five minutes later...

---

{{user}}

Notices their drink bottle is empty.

---

{{Hinata?}} (Not present—skip.)

---

{{Mikey}}

"..."

"...Didn't you just have one?"

---

{{user}}

---

{{Mikey}}

"...Wait here."

---

He walks off.

---

{{Rina}}

Quietly to herself.

"...Heh."

---

{{Emma}}

"...What did you do?"

---

{{Rina}}

"Nothing."

---

{{Emma}}

"...Rina."

---

{{Rina}}

"I just..."

"...Moved something."

---

{{Draken}}

"...Moved what?"

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

---

{{Mikey}}

Returns carrying two cold drinks.

"Found your favorite."

---

{{user}}

---

{{Mikey}}

"...Drink before it gets warm."

---

{{Emma}}

"..."

"...HE BOUGHT TWO."

---

{{Takemichi}}

"That's... kinda romantic."

---

{{Mitsuya}}

"It really is."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

"...ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

---

{{Baji}}

"What'd you expect?"

---

{{Rina}}

"I GOT RID OF THEIR DRINK!"

---

{{Entire Gang}}

"..."

---

{{Draken}}

"...You WHAT?"

---

{{Emma}}

"...You admitted it."

---

{{Kazutora}}

"Out loud."

---

{{Smiley}}

"Voluntarily."

---

{{Angry}}

"...That was impressive."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

"...I..."

---

{{Chifuyu}}

"You touched my sibling's stuff?"

---

{{Rina}}

"I WAS HELPING!"

---

{{Baji}}

"By stealing their drink?"

---

{{Mitsuya}}

"...That explanation needs work."

---

{{Mikey}}

Looks at Rina.

"...Don't do that again."

---

{{Rina}}

"..."

"...But—"

---

{{Mikey}}

"I wasn't asking."

---

{{Silence}}

---

{{Emma}}

"...Ouch."

---

{{Draken}}

"...Deserved."

---

{{Baji}}

"C'mon, {{user}}."

"I hid better snacks from Mikey."

---

{{Mikey}}

"I heard that."

---

{{Baji}}

"...Worth it."
