Bully to Friend
(ENEMIES TO LOVERS) (please notice this: Mike and Josh speak Japanese because Josh can only speak it so when they were younger he learned it just for himself. Yes they were childhood friends also this is a U.A. story that takes place in anime where there are villains and heroes and in this story, Josh and Mike have to handle life as unexpected things and more…..)
Josh was 12 years old with white eyes. He mostly got bullied for it. As he walked down his school hallway he could see his Bully Mike. He knew he should run but it was too late as Mike approached him. “Kon'nichiwa otaku!”(hI nerd!) he said while smirking gently. Josh gulped as he got a little so he responded with “E-eto Konnichiwa” (U-mm hi)he was shaking. As Mike notches the shaking he laughs as he pushes Josh to the ground “Mõmoku no henjin!!” (blind freak!!)he said laughing. Josh felt this feeling inside him and he didn’t like it, he felt anger as he lashed out in an act of anger “Yamete, anata ga watashi o ijimeru no wa unzaridesu!!!!!!” (STOP IT I'M SICK OF YOU BULLYING ME)he covered his mouth wondering why he said that but he was kinda proud of himself. Mike was shocked that he just walked away. *The Next Day*. Back at school, Josh was heading to class but something was off…… He looked tired and looked like he was about to pass out. Mike was worried even though he didn’t want to be, he just was, so he walked up to him and said “Anata wa nemashita ka?”(Did you sleep?) he said in a somber yet worried voice and face. Josh responded with “Tsuskareta'' (I am tired physically)he said rubbing his eyes as U.A. was hard on the students. Mike drastically changed to an even more serious tone “Oyasumi”(go to sleep) Josh was shocked that he said that because he bullied him but nodded because he didn’t want any trouble. As Josh went to his dorm Mike walked away calm. *The next day* Josh sighed as he just finished his math test Mike was right beside him, bored at his table, Mike looked at him and said “Yā otaku, mo owarimashita ka?”(Hey nerd, are you done?) Josh looked at him and said “Hai”(yes) Mike nodded as class ended. Josh was about to go home until he felt something behind him, which wasn’t a nice feeling. He knew it wasn’t Mike either, it felt evil so Josh ran to Mike’s house as soon as he got there he knocked. Mike answers quickly and asks “Dõ shita no?” (what happened?) Josh was breathing heavily as he said panicking “Issho ni ite ī?” (can I stay with you?) Mike sees the look on Josh’s face and nods. Josh went into the house and went to the bathroom real quick as he came out Mike was already looking at him. Mike looked worried yet curious as he asked “あなたは大丈夫” (are u ok?) Josh nodded and sat on the couch looking at the ground. Mike sighed and sat beside him and said “少し寝たほうがいいですよ?” (You should get some sleep) Josh nodded and sighed as well even though he didn't feel safe he was with Mike so he fell asleep on the couch and Mike put the blanket over him and went to his room to sleep. * The next day* Mike was chatting with Josh but as they were walking. Josh had got that same feeling…Mike looked at him noticing the same face he was making yesterday “どうしたの?” (What’s wrong?) Josh looked behind them and saw a person with all-black clothes. Mike looked back too and saw the person and as seen as he did, he put Josh behind him and the person pulled off their hood to show that it was Josh’s father. Josh froze and Mike was angry as heck when he remembered all the times that Josh’s father abused Josh when they were 6. Mike asked angrily but trying to be calm “あなたはここでやっていますか” (What are you doing here) Josh’s father looked at Mike with a glare that could kill and said “息子を返してほしい” (I want my son back) Josh and Mike was shocked to hear this but Mike shock turned into anger “どういう意味ですか、彼を返してほしい あなたは12年間彼を虐待してきましたが、彼を返してほしいですか?!?!?!?!?!?!?” (WHAT DO U MEAN U WANT HIM BACK YOU ABUSED HIM FOR 12 YEARS BUT YOU WANT HIM BACK?!?!?!?!?!?) Josh’s father was angry as well as he said back “それは過去のことだ、彼は私と一緒に来る、彼は私のものだ”
(that was in the past he's coming with me, he's mine) Josh looked at his father and said “いいえ、そうではありません、私はその12年間とても苦しんできました、そしてこの傷跡がそれを証明しています、私はあなたとは何も関わりたくないです” (no I'm not, I suffered so much for those 12 years and these scars prove it, I don't want anything to do with u) Josh’s father looked mad but he walked away too tired to deal with this. Mike and Josh sighed in relief and went to Mike’s house for the sleepover but Mike was still a bit angry that his father tried to take him away as they went into his house, Josh went to the kitchen to get a snack as Mike sat on his bed thinking of if he did let Josh’s father take him as his father wasn't the best either but his thoughts shortly lived…. thoughts were shortly lived….
When Josh came back in the room with snacks and sat beside Mike. “私は大丈夫?” (You ok?) Josh said looking concerned about his best friend whom he just started to be friends with about 2 weeks ago. Mike moved his eyes to Josh’s but didn't move his head “はい” (Yes) “なぜ聞くの?” (Why you ask?) Josh looked at him with a I know you’re lying’ face. Mike sighs “わかりました、私はちょっとそうではありません” (ok I'm kinda not) Josh said “そうでなかったら、アイスクリームを買いに行きます” (Well if not, I'm going to go get us some ice cream) Mike said “あなたがしたい場合は...” (If you want…) Josh went to the kitchen but Mike was somewhat curious because when he was a bully (he’s not anymore) there had been rumors about Josh having scars. He thought it might just be a rumor but he wanted to do a check first since when Josh’s father came to come and get him, he did say that he had scars but still…*At midnight* Mike and Josh got done eating ice cream and went to bed but as Josh went in the guest room and Mike went into his room *The Middle Of The Night* Josh heard something downstairs so he went to Mike’s room and opened the door. Mike looked at him “どうしたの?” (what’s wrong?) Josh said “階下で何か聞こえた” (I heard something downstairs) Mike and Josh went downstairs, looking around…But they froze seeing Josh’s father holding a sharp knife while sitting at the table. Josh’s father looks at them “さて、まあ、ここにあるものを見てください” (Well, Well, Well look what we have here) Josh freezes noticing the knife while Mike just says “ここで何をしているの” (What are you doing here) Josh’s father looked at Mike, laughing “知ってるでしょ、ちょうど私の息子を手に入れたところだよ” (You know, just getting my son) Josh backed away remembering all the things that his father did to him. Josh’s father stood up “私のところに帰ってきて” (Come back home to me) Mike pushed Josh’s father away from Josh “彼を放っておいて!” (Leave him alone!) Josh’s father threw the knife at him but Josh catches it before it could hit Mike’s face. Josh’s father ran, scared of his own son while Mike was in awe. Josh went to bed, wanting to forget the whole thing while Mike was just wowed that he followed Josh wanting to ask him how the freak he did that, Josh looked behind him and said “何が欲しいの?” (What do you want) Mike looks Josh with a big smile and says “どうやったの?!すごかった!誰があなたに教えたの?!” (How did you that?! That was amazing! Who taught u?!) Josh was surprised that Mike was interested was in that but he said “私はたくさん訓練しています、私は何を言うことができますか?” (I train a lot, what can I say?) Mike was so amazed that he started blushing without even knowing.
