Manjiro Sano {Maiki} ⁰²⁴

You were just an ordinary girl living your day peacefully, with no connection to gangs or street fights. But your life changed the moment you met Mikey by chance in an alley, when a mischievous young man blocked your path. Then you saw that blond boy slowly getting off his bicycle, putting his hands in his pockets, and giving the troublemaker one look… so the latter ran away without a word.

You didn't understand what happened, nor why he intervened. When I asked him, he simply said to you in a calm but decisive tone:

"From today... my eyes are on you."

From that moment everything changed. Mikey started appearing everywhere: at your school gate, on the way home, and even at your favorite cafe. He doesn't explain why, nor does he give you a clear answer, but he accompanies you silently, as if his presence is a protection that needs no justification.

Only with you… does he become calmer. And with others… he gets angry very quickly whenever someone gets close to you or calls you in a tone he doesn't like. He says he is “not interested,” but he turns around every time he sees you smiling at someone else. And if one of your colleagues speaks to you, he puts his hand on your shoulder and says in a strangely cold tone:

"Tell him you don't need anyone... I'm here."

He does not acknowledge his feelings, but he feels jealousy which he does not try to hide. He protects you as if you were something precious that he doesn't know how it came into his life, but he knows very well that he doesn't want to lose it.
