# JEALOUSY

you prefer their partner in crime over them | yandere headcannons (Mikey v. Draken, Chifuyu v. Baji, Mitsuya v. Hakkai, Smiley v. Angry, Ran v. Rindou, Inui v. Koko, Akashi v. Senju)

warnings: major manga spoilers for Akashi and Senju, yandere, implied kidnap, imminent punishment but no actual punishment in text, polyamorous relationships(?)—reader centered, SFW but characters aged up for plot convenience, manipulation, crybaby reader kinda—some tears fake, some tears real.

synopsis: you’ve started to favor one more than the other, even though they’re both equally obsessed. the less favoured doesn’t take kindly to this.

you prefer DRAKEN over MIKEY → Mikey didn’t understand what he was doing wrong. He thought if anything, you’d prefer him over Draken. But you didn’t and he couldn’t seem to figure out why.

He had offered you sweets, and free time outside, and promised not to infringe any further on your personal rights. And yet, you laid up with Draken every night—and willingly. Leaving Mikey out in the cold.

It really tore him up to have not only the person he loved stolen away, but his best friend too. Draken was his partner in crime. He needed him just as much as he needed you. And you were getting in the way.

Every time Mikey approached Draken to talk about gang affairs, you would wrap your arms around Ken’s shoulder and draw all the attention to yourself—pulling him away so that Mikey couldn’t get his words in.

And you would always act out whenever Mikey came too close, exaggerating your fear with feigning shaking and tears. Fear, which you had begun to lack considering Mikey wouldn’t dare touch when Draken was around to put him in his place.

Honestly, Draken bought every second of your little act. He could see himself as more desirable than Mikey in a way. Mikey was harsh, coarse, invincible. Of course someone like that would scare you. It only made sense that you sought Draken out rather than Mikey, even despite all the offers of peace between you both. And he’d been lying if he said he didn’t enjoy being favoured over his best friend.

But then came the day when Draken had to leave for work at the motor shop. This has happened many times before, but usually Mikey was away handling gang affairs, meaning you would be left alone in their shared space.

But Mikey seemingly had no business to attend to today. So, when Draken left, he was leaving you both behind.

You tried pleading with him not to leave, begging him to just stay home this once. Or even better, take you with him. But he refused. He couldn’t do that. He told you so, but you just wouldn’t listen.

“Please, Ken!” You cried. And this time, the tears were real. You didn’t know what Mikey was going to do to you and you didn’t want to find out. Sure, he had played nice in the beginning. But you had been manipulating Ken and playing with his friend for quite some time. You highly doubt he would show you the same kindness after all this time. “Ken, please! Please don’t leave!”

Mikey held you back, wrapping his arms under and around your own. He was strong enough to send you tumbling to the ground. You ended up between his legs, his chest flush against your back as you kicked and screamed. Draken took one look at the scene and knew that it’d be best if he left.

He knew you’d be upset with him when he returned, but he could only play the good guy for so long. He needed to let Mikey have his time with you too.

“Don’t leave!” You shouted. “Don’t leave, Ken! I’m begging!”

Although it physically hurt him to do it, Draken closed the door behind him, locking it and leaving you at Mikey’s mercy.

you prefer CHIFUYU over BAJI → “Can’t you see they’re playing you?” Baji spat.

You had fallen asleep in Chifuyu’s embrace, completely unaware of the conversation happening around you. Chifuyu tugged you closer, feeling defensive. “S-so what?” He said. “It’s better than how they treat you—”

“Don’t go there.” Baji said, a threatening tone to his voice. “...At least I’m not the idiot they’re using—”

“Well, what would you know!” Chifuyu shouted, immediately quieting himself after he felt you stir in your sleep. Both their eyes went to your slumbering figure.

“I’m trying to help you out,” Baji murmured, turning his eyes away. “They only pretend they like you so that you’ll protect them for me.”

“...protect?” Chifuyu repeated. “Baji, that’s not… that’s not what I—I didn’t mean for it to come off that way, I—”

Baji sucked his teeth, causing a thick silence to follow. “Whatever.” He said under his breath. “But ya gotta stop playin’ into them. You gotta show them that we’re on the same team.” A small, fanged smile plastered itself on his face.

“How… how should I?” Chifuyu asked, unknowingly being strung along by his friend. You weren’t the only one who knew how to play Chifuyu.

“Well,” Baji pretended to mull over his thoughts as though he didn’t already know what he wanted to say. He paused, making Chifuyu quirk with interest. Baji knew he had the man wrapped around his finger just as well—if not better—than you did. “Lemme have ‘em for a bit. I’ll show ‘em how to behave.”

you prefer MITSUYA over HAKKAI → Mitsuya is all soft smiles and kind eyes. Hakkai…

Hakkai is huge, lanky. Doesn’t matter how big or small you are, he made you feel tiny. He has a soft, docile look about him. But his hands—his fingers are long. He could snatch you up whenever he pleases, that much you know.

And you weren’t afraid at first. But you can see with each and every rejection, you’re drawing him closer and closer to his breaking point. You’ve heard things about him. About his life; his family; his siblings—his brother.

Taiju Shiba. You’ve heard many, many things about the blue haired monster. You know you shouldn’t think this way, and you know you’re being prejudiced. You know it’s wrong of you to have these thoughts about poor, sweet Hakkai.

But you can’t help but think that he may resemble his brother. That he’ll break and act just like his brother. You know it’s stupid and unfounded. But when you upset him, he gives you this look. This look that sends shivers up and down your spine and has you clutching on to Mitsuya.

It gets to a point where you’re so damn scared that you insist on sitting in Mitsuya’s lap while he works on his designs—begging to stay by his side and out of those huge hands of Hakkai’s.

It doesn’t matter what you do though. Hakkai will have you. If you part ways with Mitsuya to use the bathroom, Hakkai will be there, waiting in the hall for you. And he’ll grab you, albeit gentle, you’re terrified.

You try to scream for Mistuya, but he clamps his big hand over your mouth, tugging you away from Mitsuya’s work room. The loud sound of the sewing machine covers up your muffled protests.

Hakkai doesn’t try to act mean, or scary. If anything, he uses this time to come off as charming—hopeful that you’ll like him if you’d just give him a chance. He’ll give you a lopsided grin, the scar of his lip splitting. Pretty, blue eyes glimmering as he finally gets a good look at you after all this time.

“Can I…?” He doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable. He just wants something small from you. Something—anything. He just wants a little touch. “Can I get a hug, maybe?”

He can see the adversity in your eyes, the twitch of your body that implies your want to run away. And he scrambles to make the hug sound more desirable than it actually is in hopes of winning you over.

“It’ll be quick! Just pretend I’m Taka-chan, okay?” He mumbles, already tugging you closer. You make a face, trying to pull away, but he doesn’t let you. He’s a lot stronger than he looks, guiding you in with ease. “Just one good hug and you can run back to Taka-chan, ‘promise.”

you prefer ANGRY over SMILEY → “You fuckin’ serious?” Nahoya spats, watching with displeasure as you cuddle up into his brother’s arms—desperate to avoid a punishment that you earned.

“I don’t think we should punish them,” Souya mumbles, embracing you in his lap. His thick fingers are smoothing over your back as you put on a show by feigning trembling. “They’re obviously scared—”

“WHO GIVES A FUCK!” Nahoya shouts. You had his baby brother wrapped around your little finger, and it pissed him off. “Sou, you know they’re just using you! Now, give ‘em here before I fuck them up worse than I already plan to.”

Souya stays silent for a moment, making you curl up closer to him. You fear that he’ll give you up—that he’ll let his mean older brother hash out your very first punishment. You had only avoided so many because Souya had been there to stop Nahoya. You hoped today wouldn’t be any different. And you had been right in a way.

Just like always, Souya defended you; played your knight in shining armor; your savior. His eyes harden as he glares at his brother, “No.” He says, pulling you closer.

Although you secretly loathe him just as much as his brother, you knew he’d serve you best if you wanted out of this punishment. So, if you had to cling to him to get what you wanted; sob and cry until your voice went hoarse; or even plant a chaste kiss to his lips to seal the deal, you’d do it.

“No?” Nahoya repeated, sucking his teeth. The sound makes you flinch.

Souya had his hand on the back of your neck, having guided you to bury your face into his neck. So, you weren’t able to see Nahoya approaching you from behind, his fingers curling and ready to snatch you up.

You sure as hell felt him coming though. His heavy steps damn near causing you and Souya both to bounce. And then, you felt it. His warm, calloused hand on your shoulder.

And that’s when you saw him. His etched smile and crescent like eyes. You didn’t need to see his face to know he was pissed. His anger seemed to radiate off him in waves—you could feel it.

And Souya hadn’t been able to put up a fight. Shouting at his brother as you were ripped from his lap. You flailed and thrashed, but it served you no good. Before Souya could get you back, you had been dragged off to Nahoya’s room. The door slammed in Souya’s face as Nahoya threw you onto the floor, glaring at you for a moment before turning to the door.

You could hear Souya’s yells and pleading not to hurt you and the sound of his fists banging against the wood. But Nahoya didn’t care, coldly saying, “You better cool it, lil’ bro.” He murmured. “‘Cause if you break the door,” he slowly turned to you, his figure seeming to tower over yours. His smile disappeared as he spoke. “I’ll beat your ass next.”

you prefer INUI over KOKO → Koko was pissed. He had tried to buy your affection time and time again and got absolutely nothing out of it. You wouldn’t even entertain the thought of his wealth buying your love—not even for a second.

You always clung to Inui whenever Koko came around. And it wasn’t hard to like Inui. He was handsome, kind, and understanding. Every brush of his pale lashes had you swooning. And you’d have to catch yourself before you developed feelings for him. Like you’d ever actually fall in love with either of them.

Inui never punished you, never even entertained the thought when Koko would bring it up. Koko always brought up the prospect of punishment when Inui had you curled up in his arms after a long day. Inui and you got to sit there and look pretty day after day while Koko was out and hard at work earning money for the luxuries you didn’t even want.

It pissed him off. Really, it did. And he had had enough. One day, he sent Inui off to do some kind of errand for him. That same day, Koko had offered you cash just to see if you still had the guts to say no. And you did. Upon seeing that, Inui tried his best to plead with Koko not to do anything rash while he was away. But Koko merely shrugged him off and told him to get the errand done.

Little did Inui know, the errand was practically a goose chase that would send him a seemingly endless journey long enough to give Koko ample amount of time to do with you what he pleased. You knew you were in for it the moment the door closed behind Inui.

After peering out the window to ensure that Inui had left, Koko immediately turned to you with a smug grin. Waving around a wad of cash—the same wad of cash he attempted to give you earlier, which you had rejected. He let out a bitter laugh. “You sure you don’t want my money?” He cooed at your terror stricken face, delighting in your fear. “I could get you whatever—you—want. Just say the word, baby.”

you prefer RINDOU over RAN → Ran noticed immediately—the way you so shamelessly clung to his younger brother. He wasn’t stupid. And he doubts that you were either.

You ought to have known that this charade wouldn’t last long; that Ran would soon get his hands on you regardless; that he would snitch to his brother that you had only been using him to protect yourself.

He could see that you were aware of the upcoming consequences. You would clutch Rindou a little tighter every time his big brother passed, silently begging to be saved. And when that didn’t seem to work, you tried your damnedest to feed into Rindou’s praise. Batting your lashes and conversing with him as though actually in love and acting like the perfect little doll. But you didn’t even know…

Rindou didn’t actually buy your act—he too wasn’t stupid. He knew that you hated him and his brother alike. But he’d be damned if he denied the affection you gave him willingly.

Rindou would take it, every last drop of your feigned love until you had no more to offer. He didn’t give a fuck if it was faked because it was a whole lot more than what Ran was receiving, and that was enough for him.

But it was about to end.

“Give ‘em here.” Ran said monotonously, staring down at you and Rindou who had been snuggled up with each other on the couch. You had been laughing at all his jokes and obscene stories even though nothing had been funny. And Rindou didn’t mind, only egging you on to hear your laughter.

Rindou didn’t fight or deny his brother, he only asked, “Why?” The single word had your eyes flickering between the two. You knew you were about to get it; that you were about to be given up and traded off to that monster. But you couldn’t bring yourself to say anything, not just yet.

“They’ve been bad,” Ran said, a subtle smirk on his face. His eyes meeting your fear stricken face, a single eyebrow raising at the sight. “Denying me my share of the love; no kisses or cuddles for me; no hugs or acting. None of it. They should be punished.”

Rindou stayed silent for a moment, feeling you latch onto his arm. Your fingers digging into his skin, wordlessly pleading for his help. But he didn’t offer any. It was about time the fantasy ended anyway. You could only act for so long.

“Okay,” Rindou said. “Sure.”

And he handed you off to his big brother, despite your screaming and wailing. You didn’t know what they held in store for you, but you didn’t even want to imagine. You told them all sorts of lies; telling them you’d listen and that you’d be good. But they didn’t seem to buy it, not this time.

Ran wrapped you up in his arms, smiling as you struggled relentlessly. His gloved hand on your shoulder made you tense, his lips brushing your ear as he said, “Awh, come on.” His smile faltered. “You wouldn’t want to act like that when your ass is on the line, would you?”

You stifled a scream of rage. This was beyond unfair. Why should you have to behave for the men who took your freedom? It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t, it wasn’t.

“Now, come on.” Ran cooed, tilting your chin with the hook of his finger. “Act for me. Put on a show for me. Make me think you love me, just like you did with Rin.”

you prefer SENJU over AKASHI → It wasn’t hard to choose Senju over Akashi. She was pretty, soft, and kind. Akashi on the other hand was just plain mean and smelled of cigarette smoke. You didn’t like him at all.

You didn’t even have to cling to Senju. She clinged to you instead. She ate up your attention and affection and couldn’t care less that her brother didn’t get any. She was greedy and wanted every last drop of what you had to offer.

She would willingly combat her brother if it meant that she got to spend more time with you. Akashi didn’t like that. It wasn’t long before he got his way, though.

It was easy to trick Senju. She may be strong, but she isn’t smart. She is young and naive, and didn’t know any better. Akashi gave her his credit card and told her to go buy you something nice. And she took off without a single thought in her head other than the matching outfits she’d plan to buy for you both.

Stupid girl.

It was almost too easy. You had woken up to find that Senju wasn’t in her bed, where you slept night and night again beside her to keep yourself out of the hands of Akashi. You stumbled into the living room, rubbing the sleep from your eyes to see if you could find her. You didn’t. Instead, you found Akashi, who stood by the door with a satisfied smirk on his face.

You tried to turn around and run back to Senju’s room, but he caught you. Pulling you into his arms, your back against his chest and his heavy arms wrapped around your midsection. You struggled in his grasp, but he didn’t let go.

“Play nice,” he murmurs, voice rough. You could smell his cologne drifting in the air around you. His rugged warmth embracing you, the scent of smoke mixing with every breath. “Play nice and I’ll buy you something nice, sound good?”

GUYS GUYS EVERYONE HEAR ME OUT-

I think these 2 panels are pretty underrated cuz they hold deeper meanings than we actually think

It might not be as deep and im just overthinking but let me explain myself

Well the first image obviously is Mikey licking the remainings of dorayaki off his face, while in the second image it's the dark impulse licking blood off his face.

I know it's probably not it, but it seems like the dark impulse is being fed by blood just like normal ppl are fed by food.

Or more specifically not blood...

but rather revenge.

To be more clear, try switching the text on the 2nd panel from "kazutora" to "the dark impulse". We'll get this text: "to make himself believe he wasn't the bad guy, the dark impulse decided you were his enemy" he says that while licking his own blood- or rather the dark impulse said that while licking Mikey's blood.

I don't know if anyone gets it but it looks more like foreshadowing about how the dark impulse's enemy is Mikey.

Alright alright... first, the dark impulse only appear when someone close to him dies (Baji, Draken...) and who does he attacks after ???? The one responsible ofc (and not actually the killer cuz Baji committed suicide and Draken was killed by some random dude) it's obvious the dark impulse only comes around when Mikey wants revenge for his loved ones.

But what does that have to do with anything??? Let me explain : you see the text summarizes what even is the dark impulse, it's nothing more than Mikey's brain naming his actions whenever he seeks revenge so he won't feel like the bad guy. Or simply put, Mikey is still Mikey when he avenged his close ones yet he created a version of himself in his brain and made himself the enemy without feeling like the bad guy.

Also really stupid remark, but i guess that's why it's called Tokyo REVENGEers.... no ??? No, okay...

And after some research, i think that Mikey have schizophrenia.

Not to be an extra but that's EXACTLY what Mikey and his dark impulse are.

Breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion and behaviour ?? Check.

Faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings ?? Check. (That's exactly what Manila Mikey timeline is all about)

Withdrawal from reality and personal relationships ?? Check. (Bonten Mikey)

A sense of mental fragmentation ?? Check. (All the fucking timelines)

Also have a look at the rest of the informations :

Y'all can NOT tell me this isn't Mikey. Seriously.

I can stay up all night rereading the manga and bringing a panel for each one of these. (But tbh most of these are more noticable in chibi revengers series which is pretty weird)

Also look at this

Mikey's dark impulse defiently didn't start when Shinichiro died, he didn't go crazy trying to kill Kazu or Baji cuz he was just a kid and wasn't really that seeking for revenge, but in fact it began when he became a teen.

"Troubled relationships" ahem Sanzu ahem Bonten ahem legit pretty much his entire friend group excluding Draken and Mitsuya ahem

"poor schoold performance" that was introduced to us in a chibi revengers ep, and it seemed like some funny joke and all like 'oh would you look at that Mikey is so lazy and Draken is his babysitter hahaha' but boy i don't think it's a joke anymore...

"Reduced motivation" V E R Y. Like boy let's Draken carry him around in his back after he sleeps for the 20th time in a day from EATING. Jokes aside, it doesn't look like he feels like doing alot of stuff in the entire series, the "normal" Mikey doesn't even feel like walking and let's Draken carry him.

Alsoooo, another point that Mikey himself is the first one who mentioned the dark impulse to Takemitchy and in general,

another proof it's a delusion from his brain so everything will make sense to him, just like Kazutora but in a different way cuz Kazu blamed another person while Mikey blamed himself (kinda)

IN A NUTSHELL OF WHAT IM TRYNA SAY : There is no dark impulse but in fact Mikey putted the blame of whenever he avenges for his friends on a delusional non-existent split personality of him because of schizophrenia, and Mikey & the entire tokrev series's searched main enemy is Mikey himself. Send tweet.

But wait wait...

Does this mean that Mikey is evil ??? No. Not at all. He just needs to be in a safer environment like Kazu aND GO SEE A FUCKING THERAPY ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS DAMN SHOW!!!! AND CAN ALL PROBLEMS STOP PILING UP ON HIS SHOULDERS PLEASE ??????!!!!!! Thank you.
