(things mikey would rather not to think about. if yu's real self is defined only by the people around him, then what happens to mikey when the people who defined him are dead and each passing moment feels harder to control himself than the one before? oh, wait, that's exactly what he is here to think about it.
it's also cute that yu thinks manjiro would ever let him really deal with it. if he threw a fit about yu leaving to the island because he could die, it feels granted that manjiro would not let yu around him if he thought he could kill him. he knows that eventually, he will have to leave. it's the only way to keep these important people safe - it'd break his heart if they died, and even more so if manjiro's the cause.
right now, however, he isn't. right now, he's moving to sit between yu's legs, rest the back of his head against the other's shoulder and take in the view. the very nice toned arms yu has? well, manjiro wraps them around his waist in a hug.)
I don't know how to explain that boy to you, though. He is a huge crybaby, and also, he cries real ugly, too. He isn't strong like me, or Kenchin, or Baji, or what you'd expect from a gang higher-up... But he doesn't give up. It's a very violent life we lead, and even when he's an inch away from dying, he stands up. I'm weak when we compare it like that.
