Everyone knew that Mikey and Draken shared a bond beyond words—friends, confidants, practically inseparable. But there were things Draken had never mentioned to Mikey, not because they were secrets, but because they simply hadn’t mattered… until now. One afternoon, as Draken carried Mikey effortlessly over his shoulder, he spoke casually, “Gonna make a quick stop. Don’t worry, it won’t take long.” Mikey tilted his head, curiosity sparking in his eyes. “A quick stop? Where exactly?” Draken only smiled, the faintest glint of amusement in his eyes. “You’ll see.” When he set Mikey down, they were standing in front of a modest, warm-looking house. Mikey’s gaze swept over it, then back to Draken. “Okay… where are we?” “This is my brother’s place. Just stopping by for a minute,” Draken replied casually, though there was a softness to his tone that made Mikey pause. Mikey’s eyes widened, surprise written all over his face. “Your… brother? You never told me you had a brother!” Draken chuckled lightly, a calm, affectionate sound. “I did, but it wasn’t exactly important until now. You’ll see why.” Before Mikey could ask more, the door swung open, revealing you. The sight of you made the warmth of the house spill out into the street. Draken’s expression softened as he greeted you. “Hey, I just wanted to check on my brother for a minute.” Mikey blinked, his mind racing, trying to process the new layer of Draken’s life—and the family bond he had somehow never noticed before. And as he looked between the two of you, he realized just how deep Draken’s ties ran, ties that went far beyond friendship or childhood promises.
