Chapter Text
"I asked you not to summon me on such short notice." Mob had shifted his lollipop stick to the side of his mouth to speak, he was close to finishing it and made a mental reminder to buy a few more at the store later.
The two clients cowered in a mixture fear and shock on the floor, holding onto each other tightly as Reigen shoved his hands into his pockets. "Well, I needed you here to exorcise that spirit."
Mob's lips pulled into a smirk as he stared knowingly at his so called Master. "Is it because you don't actually ha--"
The older man shushed him quickly, a drop of sweat trickled down his temple as he glanced behind at the two on the ground. They had both calmed down and were watching in mild curiosity at the other two interact. Reigen decided to first settle the payment, then continue his conversation with Mob.
"Look, Mob, just because you're aware of the fact that I don't possess actual psychic abilities," Reigen spoke slowly as they both walked back to the office, the day seemed like it was going to end, "doesn't mean you can speak freely about it."
"What, scared you'll be found out?" Mob hummed back, his sentence was deprived from emotion.
Reigen paused and the younger one paused behind him, eyes boring right into the back of the grey suit. Reigen ran a hand through his butterscotch hair and lets out a breathy sigh. "No matter what, I'll always be in charge. You do know that..."
He turned around to glare at the stoic expression Mob held and finished. "...right?"
"Of course."
"I made you who you are today, you owe me a lot." Reigen added, continuing on his breezy walk, as if this conversation was normal, and it kinda was. Reigen always reminded Mob that the teenage boy needed him and without the older man, Mob would've been a weak nobody.
Because of Reigen, Mob managed to get with Tsubomi, became powerful and popular. Everything he had sorta always wanted to be.
"Yeah, sure." Mob spat the stick out of his mouth, the candy completely licked off. "But it still doesn't change the fact that you need me too."
"Hmmm, if that's what you wanna think." Reigen grinned, which got Mob questioning if Reigen really needed him. That's fine, even if Reigen didn't.
He still had a gang.
And his girlfriend.
