Summary

This involves threads and ideas revolving around Tokyo Revengers. This is just me and my
simping ass for Takemitchy and that I have to write some of these out before I forget them.
 Opening Remarks

Hello! So this is my first time writing here and I’ve decided to revolve it around Tokyo
Revengers, especially Takemitchy. There will be some additional tags in the future as the story
progresses. Most of these are just threads and ideas I planned on writing on Twitter but I
remembered I had people specifically my family following me so this place is my only escape! I
hope you enjoy! This is just all for fun and my simping ass for Takemitchy. I appreciate comments
to interact with so I would love if you would comment what you think. Thank you!
 AU Takemichi took the hit instead of Emma
Chapter Summary

“Who are you…?”

Chapter Notes

See the end of the chapter for notes

Takemichi had still been conscious when Emma screamed and tried to help him, he noticed
that the man on the motorcycle looked backed at them and Takemichi still tried to stand in case he
tried to come back for Emma. Emma looked at him like he was crazy trying to make him sit back
down before he collapses. It took a moment for Takemichi to realize who the guy was on the
motorcycle when both he and Emma heard Mikey’s shout of their names. The guy drove away as
Mikey came. Mikey didn’t have time to ask as Takemichi collapsed but luckily he reacted just in
time to catch him. Takemitchy, despite his head all bloody, looked at Mikey smiling, knowing that
Emma was safe. He carried Takemichi on his back and sprinted along with Emma to the nearest
hospital.

“Takemitchy, don’t you dare close your eyes! Just hold on for a bit longer!”

“Mikey-kun… my head hurts…. And my eyes are drooping….”

“Hey, Mitchy, just hold on, please, we’re almost there!”

“Hehehe…. I’ll be fine Mikey-kun… Emma-chan is fine, right?”

“Yeah she is, but let’s focus on you for now, yeah? Don’t go closing those pretty eyes of yours
yet.”

“Despite you being the one who’s banged up, you still ask about others’ welfare. What about yours
Takemitchy?”

“Mikey-kun… I’m sleepy…”

“No, no, no! Don’t go to sleep yet! We’re almost there, Takemitchy! Takemitchy! Oi, wake up!”

Mikey and Emma both arrived to the hospital with Takemichi and he was taken to the
operating room. Several minutes later, Draken, Mitsuya, Chifuyu, and the others came. It was all
silent as the others felt the tension and anger radiating off of Emma and Mikey. Draken took a seat
next to Emma and hugged her to his side as she cried. When Mikey told them of what Emma told
him earlier, they were all furious, demanding to know who did this but their worry for Takemichi
weighed over their anger to go out and beat the shithead. Takemichi needed the more.

Draken just kept silent, cursing Takemichi in his head about being a hero as always who had
no regard for his own safety but he never had felt so grateful that Takemichi saved Emma. He
looked at Mikey who was silent, but knowing his friend and commander, that he was thinking of
ways to find and beat up who did this. Chifuyu kept on pacing, hoping his partner and captain will
come out okay but he knows he will, this is Takemichi after all, he will come out well, he has to.
Mitsuya grabbed Chifuyu, attempting to make him sit down despite also wanting to pace. The
 others were silent, hoping that their friend and captain will be alright. Two hours have passed when
the doctor came out informing them that Takemichi was alright but his head was banged up bad
that there might be complications. They were just relieved that he was alright.

They walked into his room and there he laid on the bed looking so vulnerable. The sight made
them angry again, Takemichi had protected one of them again regardless of his own safety, risked
his life and now they promised they will be here for him no matter what happens. Mikey held his
hand and just sat there looking at him while the others were trying to hype up the atmosphere by
telling all the happy and stupid moments they had with Takemichi. Hinata arrived an hour later
learning about happened from Emma and just sat beside him holding his other hand.

The day Takemichi woke up, they were relieved but that turned into a horrifying feeling when he
asked them,

“Who are you…?”

All of them didn’t know how to respond but Mikey just swooped in telling him they were his
friends and Mikey was his best friend. The others were startled out of their state by Mikey’s
proclamation and started shouting that they were Takemichi’s best friend (Chifuyu shouting the
loudest). Hinata just looked at them smiling knowing that this was their best attempt to ease the
tension and despair they are feeling. Takemichi just sat there confused but somehow felt peace with
the people his mind could not remember. The doctor came in telling them he has amnesia and
doesn’t know if his memories will return.

Toman made it their mission to make Takemichi remember them. Takemichi was there for
them at their lowest and so they will be there at his. Starting with hunting down the perpetrator
who did this.

Miles away, Kisaki shivered, not knowing if it was the chills or something else.

Chapter End Notes

Do you think I should write a sequel to this?

 AU Takemichi, Chifuyu and Kazutora own a cat café and the other Toman
members are cats
Chapter Summary

“You’re getting extra treats later, Mikey-kun.”

Takemichi would be the one who bakes and makes the drinks while Chifuyu and Kazutora
take care of the cats but of course each of them helps each other out. All of the cats are protective
of the three men, especially the blonde and black one, they would chase away the customers who
would flirt with them. The three of them don’t know if they were grateful or exasperated every
time it happens.

One time a guy tried to flirt with Takemichi on the counter, the blonde cat came out of
nowhere and proceeded to attack. The guy kept screaming while trying to take the cat off of him
but the cat just held on even stronger. Takemichi, feeling pity (not really) for the guy, pulled the
blonde cat away. It immediately went to Takemichi’s arms and purred in delight. The guy ran away
from the café covered in scratches. Takemichi looked at the blonde cat, snorting as seeing it
looked smug at what it did. He scratched its chin and kissed its nose and it purred in delight even
more when Takemichi said,

“You’re getting extra treats later, Mikey-kun.”

Chifuyu and Kazutora have their own protector in the form of a black cat named Baji who is
even more aggressive when the two men are being flirted at. It will hiss before biting and
scratching the flirter and wouldn’t stop until Chifuyu or Kazutora will grab it.

The other cats are not that protective as the two cats but still protective only when they are
needed for it. Draken and Mitsuya have taken the role of parents, Hakkai always following
Mitsuya, Pah and Peh just laze around whenever and wherever, Sanzu and Mucho hide under the
counter or under the tables, Angry and Smiley always getting into trouble with Mikey and Baji.
Draken and Mitsuya try their best to make sure they don't get too much trouble but their efforts are
always wasted because the four cats seemed to escape them every time.

Takemichi, Chifuyu and Kazutora have separate rooms that have doors with cat flaps so that the
cats can come in whenever they want. It may seem hectic but the three men wouldn’t have it any
other way.

Whom do the cats sleep with?

Takemichi – Mikey (on the bed with him specifically on his chest) Draken (on the foot of the bed),
Smiley and Angry (On their cute little bed cuddled together)

Chifuyu – Baji (on the bed beside Chifuyu’s head), Mitsuya and Hakkai (little bed in the corner
huddled together)

Kazutora – Baji (on top of his chest), Sanzu and Mucho (foot of the bed), Peh and Pah (they don’t
care where they sleep as long as they are comfy)
 AU Takemichi dating some of Toman (take a guess on who they are) + First
Dates
Chapter Summary

“What competition?”

Chapter Notes

It's midnight here and I am on a roll!

Baji and Emma are alive. Hinata and Takemichi broke up.

See the end of the chapter for more notes

All of them couldn't remember on how exactly it got to this but they wouldn’t exchange it for
anything not even for the world. Dating Hanagaki Takemichi was the best thing that ever happened
to them, well if marriage would be brought into the prospect then marrying him would be the best
thing that will ever happen to them, but let’s save that for the future.

No one could deny that Takemichi had a certain charm that makes people flock to him.
Courage, determination, sincerity and compassion are few words that would best describe him and
these traits are what garnered him the affection of several Toman members. When all of them
realized they liked Takemichi that way, they began to fight for his attention especially after they
learned that he and Hinata had broken up, it became a competition as to who would get most of
Takemichi’s time and affection.

Of course Takemichi remained oblivious to what was happening until he overheard Hinata and
Emma gossiping about the competition.

“What competition?”

He asks with the most serious voice Emma and Hinata ever heard from him, they told him to
forget what they said but he put his foot down demanding to know. The two girls looked at each
other knowing that the boys will be furious with them if they ratted them out but they can’t escape
the determined blue eyes of Takemichi. They eventually told him which he looked at them with
confusion, bewilderment, anger, fondness and then determination. He told them he won’t tell that
they told him and thanked them for telling him.

When he confronted them about it, they were like kids who were caught stealing from a
cookie jar. They bowed their heads, shameful of what they were doing, looking anywhere but at
him knowing that they won’t be able to deny him once they look into his eyes. Takemichi asked
Mikey on why they would need a competition. Mikey as well as the others looked at him confused.
Takemichi told them that they didn’t need to compete because he loves all of them the same way,
while red explodes on his cheeks.

“I thought I was wrong to have these feelings for all of you and I didn’t want to get one of you hurt
so I just decided to keep it to myself. But I can’t help but be selfish to have you all for myself; I
love all of you equally.”

The boys didn’t seem to register what he said until Takemichi asked them if they were okay.
Suddenly, he was being hugged by Mikey and Chifuyu, crying and screaming that Takemichi said
that he loves them. Takemichi just looked at them with fondness and patted their heads while
looking at the other boys, motioning for them to come to the group hug. They were officially
dating after the fiasco and agreed to have a sleepover at Takemichi’s house.

Mikey – It was in the afternoon when he took Takemitchy to a café where they sell his favorite
dorayaki and he wanted Takemitchy to try out some new desserts. Mikey and him fed each other’s
dessert while the cashier just looked at them contemplating his single life. As it was nearing
nighttime Mikey took him on a motorcycle ride to a hill where the stars were shining so brightly
but nothing of those compared to the delighted and shimmering blue eyes of Takemitchy.

Draken – Draken stayed overnight for their date the next day. They woke up preparing for their
afternoon picnic with both of favorite food and dessert. They had it under the cherry blossoms. He
and Takemichi were just lying down on the picnic mat while telling each other stories from their
memories. Draken looked at Takemichi, smiling, feeling the most peace he has in years.

Chifuyu – He took Takemichi to a movie they talked about recently. He was super happy since
Takemichi held his hand all the way of their date. The highlight would be both of them watching
the sunset at the beach, their hands swinging as they talked. Takemichi had never been so beautiful
in front of him, smiling with the sunset in the background, blue eyes glistening like the ocean’s.

Mitsuya – Unfortunately for Mitsuya their date was interrupted by the heavy rain, so they went
back to Takemichi’s house. Luckily for him, his little sisters have a babysitter so he could stay with
Takemichi overnight. They planned to have movie night as their alternative date. Takemichi
cooked some ramen for them as well as baked some brownies for dessert. As they were about to
sleep, Mitsuya apologized for their planned date not going well, but Takemichi just kissed him,
telling him that being with him was the already the best date he could ever had.

Baji - He was not one for all those cheesy and romantic type of dates but he tried for Takemichi.
When he learned that Takemichi didn’t know how to ride a motorcycle yet, he decided to teach
him as a form of a date. Takemichi really didn’t mind as he gets to spend his time with Baji. Baji
was happy that Takemichi was genuinely happy with the idea of their date; he was conscious that
he wouldn’t like it but Takemichi’s smile eased his doubts. They also made a date to the hospital
when Takemichi hit the brakes too hard which sent him flying, it was a good thing he was wearing
a helmet.

Hakkai – He took Takemichi ice – skating, which was a first for both of them. Hakkai got used to
the ice pretty quickly, Takemichi on the other hand had bambi legs and kept holding onto Hakkai
fearing that he would fall if he lets go. Hakkai obviously picked this so that he can hold Takemichi
whenever he falls, clever kid. Overall, Takemichi got used to it and had fun still holding Hakkai’s
hand as they skated across the rink. It might be cold, but the warmth of Takemichi’s hand and the
happiness he felt, made it better.

Nahoya/Smiley – He took Takemichi to an arcade recommended to him by Pah and Peh. It was
 totally worth it as Takemichi was grinning widely and pulling him further inside. They both played
different games and won different prizes. His most favorite moment was when Takemichi,
blushing and smiling, gave him a plush toy he won for him. He thanked Takemichi and told him
that he would treasure it forever. Nahoya then took a picture of it and sent to the group chat. All of
them were envious, wanting a gift from Takemichi as well.

Souya/Angry – He’s like Baji who doesn’t do cheesy and romantic things, but it’s for Takemichi,
so he tries. In the end, he just asks Takemichi if he had ideas on what he wanted to do. Souya was
afraid that Takemichi might be sad and disappointed that he didn’t have any ideas for their date, but
Takemichi just grabbed his cheeks while looking at him and saying that spending time with him
was more than just enough. They didn’t need outgoing ideas for dates. So the two just sat down
and watched a movie and cuddled as they slept. Souya, for once, slept with a smile on his face.

 AU Takemichi in the same generation as Shinichiro
Chapter Summary

“Everyone, I’d like you all to meet someone special.”

Chapter Notes

See the end of the chapter for notes

Shinichiro was in middle school when he met Takemichi. It was when he was walking home
from the convenience store and he heard a commotion. He thought it was some gangs fighting each
other so imagine to his surprise when he saw a person being ganged up on. He immediately went
to help him, punching one the men. They were shocked when he interfered, they were about to
fight him when one of them recognized Shinichiro as the leader of the Black Dragons.

They scurried away after knowing who he was. Shinichiro continued to look at them with
anger in his eyes before letting out a deep sigh. He looked back at the stranger and was about to
help him but was surprised that he already stood up and was bowing at Shinichiro, thanking him
for his help. Shinichiro got bashful saying it was nothing and asked for the guy’s name. He was
not, however, prepared for the sight he was about to see when the guy lifted his head.

“My name is Hanagaki Takemichi! Nice to meet you!”

Shimmering ocean blue eyes and a bright smile was what greeted him, it took him a few
moments to recover from the enchanting face of the guy he saved. Takemichi just looked nervously
at him wondering why he wasn’t saying anything. He asked Shinichiro if he was alright which
snapped him out of his daze. The poor guy could only stutter, embarrassed that he stared too long.
Takemichi just let out a giggle, which only added a blush to Shinichiro’s face. He straightened up
and smiled at Takemichi, introducing himself.

“Sano Shinichiro, it’s nice to meet you too, Hanagaki.”

Is this what they call love at first sight?

From then on, the two were inseparable. Turns out, Takemichi was from his school, he just
never stood out. How on Earth did I miss an angel in this school? He introduced Takemichi to his
friends and fellow gang members and they were shocked at how clingy and affectionate he was
with Takemichi but they have gotten used to it. Although, they were a little tired of hearing the pick
– up lines Shinichiro has prepared for Takemichi. They can’t deny though that Takemichi looks
cute when he blushes. Takemichi joined the Black Dragons at Shinichiro’s request so that they
could spend more time together and that he can protect him while he’s there.

It’s been five months since they met and to everyone’s surprise, they weren’t dating yet.
Shinichiro wanted to confess properly, however the scenario of their confession wasn’t all that
romantic.
 Takemichi got into a fight with a rival gang without calling Shinichiro and the others for help
which lead to them fighting. Shinichiro was worried and angry that Takemichi didn’t call him but
Takemichi just replied that he could handle it by himself.

“This is what the gang is for; we don’t leave anyone just to fend for themselves!”

“I handled it fine! Why are you getting so crossed about this?!”

“It’s because I love you damn it!”

“What….?”

“You mean so much to me that the thought of you getting hurt scares me! Seeing you in bruises
and crying makes my heart ache like it never ached before! I love you Hana, I can’t bear with the
thought of you getting hurt to the point of you leaving me…”

“Shin, I am so sorry… I didn’t expect that it would affect you this hard…”

“No, I’m sorry, I lost my temper.”

“Don’t be, I understand now what you’re trying to say, the same goes for me, you know? Every
time you get hurt, I would think of unnecessary scenarios of what would happen if it got too bad.”

“We’re both idiots, huh?”

“We totally are, but I didn’t expect for you to confess, though.”

“Ugh… Don’t remind me, I was supposed to confess to you in the most romantic way possible!
Take you out somewhere nice and then confess. But we all can’t have what we want, now can
we?”

“Don’t pout; I think this was the perfect time to confess considering all of the heat getting to us.”

“What’s your answer?”

“Huh?”

“I mean… Do you like me? I wouldn’t be that upset if you don’t it’s just that ---“

“Shin, be quiet for a moment. I love you. I love you very much.”

“I love you too Hana, be my boyfriend?”

“I would love to be your boyfriend, Shin.”

From there, the two of them were officially boyfriends and were even more affectionate. Their
friends were happy for them, despite the upending doom of listening to more of Shinichiro’s
cheesy pick – up lines.

The time came for Shinichiro to introduce Takemichi to his family. They already had decent
jobs with Shinichiro and his repairing and tinkering of motorcycles in his garage and Takemichi
with his bakery. They were both nervous because they hid their relationship for so long that they
didn’t know how Shinichiro’s family would react. With resolve and determination, they both
entered the Sano family house. His grandfather and younger siblings looked at him and his friend
asking who the young man was. Shinichiro looked happy and all smiling as his family looked at
each other wondering what was going to happen.

“Everyone, I’d like you all to meet someone special. This is Hanagaki Takemichi, my boyfriend.”

“Hello, it’s nice to meet all of you.”

They just stared at the two young men in shock, not speaking a word. Shinichiro and
Takemichi looked at them and at each other wondering if this was a mistake until someone
squealed. Emma rushed towards them and hugged them, screaming about why didn’t Shinichiro
introduced Takemichi sooner. Mikey also joined in the hug, happy to have another older brother in
the family. Their grandfather just looked at them with fondness, stating that if they both make each
other happy; he was fine with them being together.

Mikey stated that Takemichi was his new favorite brother because he made him dorayaki to
which Shinichiro just whined asking Takemichi to bake his favorite pastry too. Takemichi also
goes shopping with Emma whenever he has time. Emma had stars in her eyes when Takemichi
agreed to go shopping with her, happy to able to spend time with her new older brother.

Shinichiro also introduced Takemichi to Izana who took a liking to the black haired beauty. He
was nervous and shy at first but was swooped in by Takemichi’s charm. Whenever he went to visit,
he would immediately look for Takemichi and hug him. Takemichi also convinced Shinichiro to
adopt Izana earlier knowing that Mikey and Emma would love him. Izana cried loudly on the day
he was officially adopted by the Sano family.

Mikey also introduced him to his friends; all of them not knowing what to think of Shinichiro’s
boyfriend but of course they were also charmed. They would visit Takemichi’s bakery every
afternoon and sometimes would bring Izana and Emma with them.

Shinichiro didn’t die as Takemichi dragged Mikey’s friends one day to Shinichiro’s garage,
asking them to help with Mikey’s surprise birthday gift. Mikey’s birthday went well with
Shinichiro’s surprise gift being his favorite (Takemichi’s cake for him was also his favorite). The
celebration was full of laughter and cheers.

Shinichiro and Takemichi were at the sides watching them. Shinichiro looked at Takemichi
asking him what would make this day even better. Takemichi looked at him confused before
looking at the boys again wondering if he had something else planned for them. Shinichiro just
chuckled and held his right hand, kissing his knuckles before kneeling down one knee taking out a
box with a silver ring inside it. Takemichi gasped loudly which caught the attention of everyone.
All of them had huge smiles on their faces, looking at the scene before them.

“I didn’t believe in love at first sight until I met you. Your ocean blue eyes and bright smile were
what captivated me that day but I fell even harder as I got to spend time with you. Your courage
and compassion are what drove my heart to love you even more. I can’t imagine my life without
you by my side. I have thought about it several times, of how our life would be more beautiful if
we can spend it together forever. So, Hanagaki Takemichi, will you marry me?

Takemichi had tears streaming down his face but his smile was so wide. He nodded shouting
yes and tackled Shinichiro onto the floor. Everyone cheered for them, Mikey, Emma and Izana
shouting the loudest (Takemichi is going to be their brother officially). Takemichi peppered his
faces with kisses before kissing him on the lips. They both stood up as Shinichiro slid the ring onto
 Takemichi’s finger. They looked at each other, smiling, knowing that everything’s going to be
alright from now on.

Enjoy~

See the end of the chapter for more notes

They were hanging out at a nearby beach when Chifuyu noticed that Takemichi had his shirt
on backwards. When he told him, the poor boy could only stutter and blush which unfortunately
got the attention of everyone. They began teasing him, especially Mikey, Baji and Smiley;
however they stopped when Takemichi took his shirt off RIGHT. IN. FRONT. OF. THEM. giving
them a sight they will never forget (well they are going to use that image for something else, if you
know what I mean).

Chifuyu and Baji asking Takemichi to help them with their upcoming test which Takemichi
agreed and they planned to have a sleepover at his house. Baji and Chifuyu were prepared to study
since Takemichi will be helping them but they were however, not prepared to find out that their
friend (crush) wears cute skimpy shorts that hugs his ass perfectly. Both of them kept glancing
every time Takemichi stands up and walks because his ass jiggles. Baji would of course flirt and
tease Takemichi every time he has the chance to and would grab his ass. Takemichi, bright red
blush on his cheeks, would just squeal and reprimand him along with Chifuyu. Chifuyu, on the
other hand, would lay down on his lap and hug his waist, grinning at Baji who was fuming.

Needless to say, Chifuyu and Baji had a hard time sleeping with Takemichi wearing that all night.

Mikey and Takemitchy on a date eating crepes when Takemitchy has some cream near his
lips. Mikey being Mikey, instead of offering a handkerchief or wiping it with his hand, leaned
forward and licked it. Takemitchy burned bright red while Mikey was happily licking his lips. He
told Mikey that he shouldn’t do that because they were in public but Mikey just continued smiling,
admiring the blush across Takemitchy’s cheeks. When Takemitchy wouldn’t stop scolding him, he
kissed him on the lips (that’s one way to shut someone up) and grabbed his waist, pulling him
closer. They kissed a little longer than usual which resulted to them being out of breath. Mikey
didn’t mind though because Takemitchy’s face looked delectable.

Draken wakes up on a Sunday morning, noticing that someone was not by his side. He
immediately went down to see Takemichi in the kitchen with a pink apron on cooking their
breakfast. Takemichi hears him and goes towards him with a mug of coffee in his hand which he
gave to Draken and tiptoed as he kissed him on the lips, as his way of saying good morning, to
which Draken gladly reciprocated. Takemichi went back to cook as Draken sat down. He took a sip
of his coffee while listening to Takemichi humming to the song being played on the radio. He
closed his eyes and smiled, wondering how he got so lucky being married to Takemichi.

Takemichi offering to babysit Mana and Luna as Mitsuya had somewhere important to go.
Mitsuya tried to talk him out of it, but Takemichi wants to and he can’t say no to that face (no one
can). So here he is in front of Takemichi’s house with Mana and Luna telling them to behave.
Takemichi greeted them and led them inside. Mitsuya told him to call if he needed him or if
something was wrong. Takemichi only replied with an exasperated smile telling him to go and that
he can take care of them. When he went back to them, a fond smile made its way to his lips as he
took in the scene, Takemichi sleeping with Mana and Luna on each of his sides on the floor,
crayons and toys scattered around them. He takes a picture of them and stored it in his secret
album. He wouldn’t mind Takemichi babysitting them again if this is what he gets to see every
time.

The morning next day, the girls asked him if he could marry the pretty Onii-chan from
yesterday to which Mitsuya just looked at them bewildered with a blush on his cheeks.

The picture was later found out by Hakkai who was scrolling through Mitsuya’s phone;
Mitsuya got jealous and betrayed looks from everyone for not sharing the picture and keeping it to
himself.

Hakkai was scouted for a modeling gig which made him very happy but the only downside
was that his partner would have to be a girl. He still hasn’t come out of his shell when it came to
women, he knows he has to for the sake of his career but he can’t help it. His manager and the
photographer are beginning to get tired and irritated that his face and body keeps tensing up
especially when his female partner would touch him. They could only pray that something or
someone would be their saving grace from this. Enter Hanagaki Takemichi.

He and Hakkai both planned to have dinner together after his shoot so Takemichi wanted to
surprise him by visiting him. Hakkai immediately brightened and relaxed as Takemichi came. His
manager and the photographer looked at each other with knowing grins. They asked Takemichi if
 could model with Hakkai to which he protested vehemently saying that he wasn’t even pretty
enough to be modeling. They of course denied that statement seeing as he had angelic features,
specifically his eyes. He continued to deny until Hakkai gave him the puppy dog eyes. Needless to
say, he ended up being Hakkai’s partner instead. Hakkai was happy and relaxed since Takemichi
was his partner and his touch would be more appreciated than the woman’s.

Their magazines came out and they turned out to be a hit especially with their friends. Mikey,
Mitsuya and Chifuyu demanded to know on why they didn't tell them and if Takemichi would
model for them again. Takemichi was then asked by several agencies if he wanted to model for
them, but he said it was only a one – time thing. Hakkai also denied since he didn’t want to share

Chapter Notes

Aaaaaaaah! Soft Baji/Takemichi hours! Baji's fangs have been in my mind since last
night! Let's give this baby some love as well Hope you enjoy this chapter~

See the end of the chapter for more notes

He didn’t want anyone to know what he really was even if it was only half of what he was, he
was afraid to be treated as an outcast and a freak. It didn’t help that he had angers issues and his
fangs were noticeable. However, whenever he was with Toman, nobody really questioned about
his fangs or the sudden red glint of his eyes at night. Being in a gang also helped hide his
abnormally fast reflexes and enormous strength. Baji felt free when he was with them, the paranoia
and fear of being found out still remained, but it wasn’t that strong as before. But secrets don’t
remain secrets forever.

Mikey was the first one to know when he was spending the night at Baji’s house. He spotted the
blood bags in the refrigerator as he was trying to search for food. Baji, fearing that this might be the
end of their friendship, tried to explain, but Mikey just laughed and asked why Baji didn’t tell him
sooner. Baji looked at him confused. Mikey just explained that he had a hunch on what Baji was,
but he just didn’t want to confront him about it. Not until Baji was ready to tell it himself. Baji
cried, he let all of the pain and fear he felt out, while Mikey was hugging him, telling him that it
was going to be alright.

He mustered up the courage to tell the others, Mikey accepted him but he doesn’t know what the
others will think. Turns out, they had also suspected that he was different, in a good way of course.
They also think he’s cool. They asked him several questions on being a dhampir which Baji gladly
explained. Baji smiled all day long, knowing that he didn’t have to be afraid anymore.

Baji also managed to stop Kazutora from hitting Shinichiro with his fast reflexes. That was also
the day they told Shinichiro on what he was. He accepted Baji of course, telling him that being a
dhampir doesn’t change who he really is on the inside. Baji also confided in the vice-captains as
soon as he knew he could trust them with his secret. Chifuyu asking the most questions, amazed
that his captain and friend was a dhampir. His respect and admiration for Baji just went up to the
roof. Baji smiled all day, the tension he had leaving his body, euphoric at the acceptance of his
friends.
 As they grew up, so did Baji’s hunger for blood. The blood bags were sufficient enough but
somehow, he was craving for more, he didn’t know why. His friends were all worried that he might
die if didn’t drink enough. They asked his mother if he needed more blood, they’d be happy to give
him some. Baji protested saying he’d rather die than take some of his friends’ blood. His mother,
realizing what was happening, told them to sit down so she could explain.

She told them that the extra hunger he was feeling was his vampire side seeking for his mate.
They all looked at her as if she was crazy. Vampires have mates? She laughed at their expressions,
telling them that she and Baji’s father are mates. Every vampire has a mate and Baji’s hunger
means that his mate is near. Baji didn’t know what to feel, he wasn’t really the type to believe in
all of that mushy love crap but he can’t help but imagine what it would be like to have someone
destined just for you. He hoped his mate accepts him; it didn’t matter if they were male or female.
At that moment, Baji made a promise to himself that he will learn to love his mate whoever they
were.

He wasn’t disappointed when he met his mate for the first time. He was coming home from
school when he smelled the most sweet and tantalizing scent he had ever smelled. He tried to find
it, sniffing the air like a greyhound. And there he was, luscious blonde locks, soft looking skin and
ocean blue eyes looking at him in surprise. They stared at each other, not knowing what to say
before a sneeze interrupted them. They both looked down at the kitten in the blonde boy’s arms,
which was snuggling for warmth. They looked at each other at laughed at the cute sound the kitten
let out. Baji then looked back at the guy who he knows is his mate, delighted to hear his laugh. He
came forward, wanting to know more about this beautiful creature.

“The name’s Baji Keisuke, you are?”

“Hanagaki Takemichi! Nice to meet you!”

Fuck, he looks even more brilliant when he’s smiling. I could look at it all day and never get
tired. The two chatted for a while until Takemichi had to go home. Baji insisted that he escorts
him home to which Takemichi hesitantly agreed. Baji didn’t want to leave his mate all by himself,
who knows what perverts are lurking out at night. When they arrived, Takemichi thanked him. Baji
asked if they could meet up again. He was delighted when Takemichi said yes. They exchanged
email addresses and Baji promised him that he would email him if he was home. Takemichi waved
Baji goodbye before entering his house. They gave each other a last look and smile before parting
ways.

Ever since that day, the two became connected to something that was more than destiny.

When Baji told his friends and mother that he found his mate, they were ecstatic. Baji wanted to
take it slow. He didn’t want his mate to be overwhelmed. They understood that but also wanted to
help him get closer to his mate. So, operation get-Baji-and-his-mate-closer was on the go!

They didn’t have to work that hard though, because Baji and Takemichi were smitten with each
other. The two who are just friends (according to them) had no idea that their actions would be
mistaken as if they were a couple. Baji didn’t mind, he loved the attention and affection he was
getting from his mate as well as the flush on his face whenever Baji flirted or teased him.
Takemichi didn’t mind as well, ignoring that Baji was sniffing his neck. They talked about each
other’s families, friends, favorites and hobbies. When Baji also told him he was in a gang,
Takemichi wasn’t angry or scared, he just looked at him in worry asking if he was getting proper
treatment whenever he got hurt. His love for his mate just skyrocketed, Takemichi was worried
about him. Others would look at him scared or in anger, but Takemichi was different. He didn’t
know what he did to have this angel as his mate.

Two months have passed since that fateful encounter, but neither had the guts to confess. Baji
confided in his friends while Takemichi also confided with his. In the short amount of time they
spent together, it felt longer. Their feelings for each other deepened as the days went on. Both of
them appreciated all the little things the other has done. For Baji, it was those times when he does
something not human-like, Takemichi wouldn’t question it. For Takemichi, it was when Baji
would make sure he was on the safe side of the street whenever they walk together. With the
encouragement of their friends, they decided to confess. Coincidentally, they emailed each other
asking if the other could meet them up.

So, they arrived at the park where Baji and his friends would hang out. They looked at each
other, both stuttering and blushing not knowing how to start. Baji gathered up his courage and
grabbed Takemichi’s hands and told him that he liked him. Baji was panicking because Takemichi
hadn’t given him a reply yet but that turned into surprise when Takemichi pulled him into a kiss.
Baji’s hands made their way to Takemichi’s head and waist, pulling him closer. His heart could
burst knowing that the guy he loves, loves him back. Both breathless from the kiss, their foreheads
leaned against one another’s, looking at each other’s eyes filled with love and joy. Baji laughed
when Takemichi cried, pulling him into a hug. They just stood there, basking in each other’s
warmth. Their moment was interrupted when Mikey shouted congratulations at them. Baji chased
Mikey shouting that he ruined their moment, the others were just laughing at them.

The only hurdle Baji had to face was telling Takemichi on what he was. He didn’t know real
terror until now. What if Takemichi would leave him? What if he will hate him? He was crying,
not knowing how to ease the pain in his heart. He couldn’t bear it if Takemichi left him. He was so
into his thoughts that he didn’t hear Takemichi come in his house. Takemichi furrowed his
eyebrows in confusion as to why Baji didn’t hear him. He did inform him he would be staying the
night since Baji’s mom was planning to sleep at her friend’s house. He was stunned to find Baji
crying on the sofa. He immediately went to him, asking him what was wrong.

“Please… Please don’t hate me Michi…”

“Hate you? Why on Earth would I hate you, Kei?”

Takemichi touched Baji’s cheeks, wiping the tears that kept cascading down his face. Baji
knew this was now or never. He had to tell Takemichi or he is going to regret it.

“I’m keeping something from you… It’s not that I am cheating on you! I love you so much! Please
believe me on that!”

“I know you love me Kei… You’ve said and shown that many times. You know you can tell me
anything, right?”

“Of course I know that, I just didn’t know how to tell you. It’s kind of big.”
 “Then say it. Just blurt it out, no more of that hesitation.”

“I’m a dhamphir!”

“You’re a what?”

“A dhampir, half vampire – half human… Mom’s human, don’t worry about that.”

Takemichi stayed silent, still trying to process what Baji said. Dhampir? Vampire? Those still
exist? Baji was trying not to panic at Takemichi’s expression and silence. Was he disgusted?
Scared?

“Kei, why would you think I’d hate you for this?”

“You.. You’re not scared? Repulsed? Don’t you hate me?! I’m a monster!”

“NO! No… You are not a monster Kei! It doesn’t matter if you’re a dhampir, you’re still the Kei I
know and love. I promised you that I’ll love no matter who you are or who you will become. This
vampire side of yours is a part of you and I’ll learn to love that side as well. I’m not leaving you,
Kei.”

Baji bawled, hugging Takemichi as if his life depended on it. Takemichi continued to pat his
back, letting Baji release all of the pain and weight he had been carrying. They stayed in that
position until Baji stopped crying. Both of the stood up and went to Baji’s room. They decided to
sleep, not having the energy to do anything else. Takemichi decided to be the big spoon for now,
letting Baji rest near his chest. Takemichi was humming a lullaby as Baji slept peacefully, content
that the person he loves the most accepts him.

Baji wasn’t the type of person to believe in love but that was when he met Hanagaki
Takemichi. He would be forever grateful for his vampire side for bringing him to the blue
eyed angel. The side he considered to be a curse turned out to be a blessing that gave him the
person that would complete his heart and soul.

Chapter Notes

Spoiler warning! This takes place in chapter 204... or after?

This might be the longest chapter I have ever written. How come my stories end up
getting longer than I wanted them to be? I'm not complaining but still. I hope you all
enjoy this chapter~ I think I fried my brain with this one~

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Mikey woke up with sweat covering his whole body and was breathing erratically. He
clutched his shirt trying to breathe properly as his mind relayed the scenes from his nightmare. He
looked around his surroundings and was taken back to see that he was in his childhood bedroom,
was he still inside a nightmare? One that made him remember of what he had already lost? He
stood up; still feeling disoriented and tried to make his way to the bathroom. Everything felt real,
from the corridors to the warmth seeping from the floor to the birds chirping outside. Even if this
was a nightmare, at least he gets to spend time with his family again.

He got to the bathroom and looked at the mirror. That was when he remembered everything.
The deaths of Shincihiro, Baji, Izana and Emma, Kenchin almost dying, his future self that killed
people, Bonten, driving his friends away, shooting Takemitchy…. He shot Takemitchy, the only
person who tried so hard into saving Mikey even when he was bleeding. He still tried to save me
despite all the pain and suffering I had brought him. He remembered Takemitchy’s conviction, his
promise, those blue eyes filled with resolve. Mikey flopped down, bringing his hands to his face,
surprised to feel tears streaming down. He didn’t know what to do, who to confide in, they might
think he’s crazy, hell, he thinks he’s crazy especially at what he did.

Emma was trying to find Mikey when she saw that he wasn’t in his room, which confused her,
knowing that Mikey doesn’t usually wake up on his own. She heard someone in the bathroom and
was certain Mikey was inside. She knocked, telling Mikey that breakfast was ready but she was
only greeted with silence and then a loud gasp. The bathroom door open and Mikey stood there,
crying, looking at Emma like he had seen a ghost. She was about to ask him what was wrong when
she was engulfed into a tight hug. Mikey hugged her like she was going to disappear. Emma
wondering if Mikey had a nightmare, tried to comfort him, telling him it was alright which resulted
to him sobbing. They stayed in that position until Shinichiro came to get them. He was baffled to
see them crouched on the floor hugging and that Mikey was crying.

He called out to them and was tackled into an embrace by Mikey. Shinichiro looked at Emma
bewildered, silently asking her what happened. She mouthed that he might have had a nightmare to
which Shinichiro hugged Mikey back with understanding. He hasn’t seen Mikey cry in a long time
but somehow his gut was telling him this was more than just a nightmare. He stood up, carrying
Mikey to the dining room. Their grandfather looked at them, raising his eyebrow at Shincihiro
carrying Mikey. Shinichiro told him he will tell him later.

“Come on kiddo, we both can’t eat if you don’t let me go. Your grip is kind of starting to hurt.
Look~ There’s pancakes! Don’t worry, I made them!”

“What’s that supposed to mean Nii-chan?!”

“I mean--- Well--- Your pancakes weren’t really looking like pancakes last time Emma! But of
course you’ve gotten better! Wait! What I mean to say is that---”

Mikey laughed at their bantering, loosening his hold on Shinichiro; he missed this, he missed
them. He let go of his brother and went to greet his grandfather. He noticed his grandfather’s eyes
were tinted with worry.

“Manjiro, are you alright?”

“I have never been better!”

He gave them a huge smile and went to sit down. All of them looked at him, still concerned at
his behavior, but decided not to further question it. Emma and Shinichiro took a seat, continuing to
banter about Emma’s poor attempt at making pancakes while making, Mikey adding his own
opinion. If this was really real, then he had been given a chance to change everything; he was not
going to waste it.

After breakfast, he immediately went to his room. He wrote down everything he can recall
from his memories and made a plan for everything, but the only problem was on how he was going
to tell his friends. He knows they’ll think he’s out of his mind but he needs all the help he can get if
he wanted to change everything. He peered at the calendar pinned on his door, taking note that it
was the day after they made their gang. He grabbed his phone, leaving them a message to meet at
the park where they usually hang out. He told Emma and his grandfather that he was going to meet
with his friends. Shinichiro already left for work; Mikey needed to make sure they all visit his
brother’s bike shop.

Mikey arrived at the park but he was the only one there. He sat down at a swing waiting for
his friends, thinking on how to explain to them. He doesn’t know if they’ll believe in that entire
going-back-into-time-thing, Mikey admits he has an overactive imagination, but not that
overactive. A few moments later, he heard several thumps as well as squeaking of shoes. He
looked up to see his friends, all out of breath from running, wearing grim expressions on their
faces.

Mikey was about to asked them if something happened when Draken punched him then
proceeded to grab Mikey’s collar with both hands. He yelled at Mikey for being a goddamn idiot,
for not asking others for help and for always trying to carry his pain all by himself. Baji was next,
pissed, yelling that him he didn’t die just for Mikey to disband Toman and make stupid decisions.
Both Baji and Draken were crying, continuing to yell at him. Kazutora, Pah and Mitsuya were at
the sides looking them, but they were also shedding tears. After Baji and Draken were yelling at
Mikey, they hugged him, sobbing. Mikey couldn’t anymore keep his composure and cried as well.
The others went to hug them; letting out all the agony they suffered through from the future. It took
them a while to calm down, not crying anymore but sniffles could be heard from them. Mikey
looked at Kazutora who had a black eye, not knowing what to say. Mikey told him that he didn’t
have to apologize since Mikey already forgave him, he’s just glad all of them are here, alive.

Draken asked Mikey if he knew how they managed to come back to the past with their
memories and Mikey told them of what happened with Takemichi. They were exasperated but
relieved that Takemichi despite telling him not to look for Mikey anymore, still tried to. They sat
there until noon, telling each other of what happened when they woke up. They eventually got
hungry so they decided to eat peyoung yakisoba, much to Baji’s glee and to a bakery for some
desserts.

Mikey then led them to his brother’s shop to introduce them to him. Shinichiro was surprised
to not only see Mikey but his friends as well. He examined them, seeing that all of their eyes were
bloodshot. He asked them if something happened to which they only looked at each other,
grinning, telling Shinichiro that they were fine. He wasn’t convinced by their reply, so he glanced
at Mikey, raising his eyebrow. Mikey knew he couldn’t escape his brother’s intuition, so with his
friends’ approval, they told him everything.

Shinichiro gaped at them, not sure on how to respond to the most ridiculous story he has ever
heard in his life but his gut was telling him that their words were true. He had mixed feelings, not
knowing whether to embrace his brother or to thwack him on the head. He did both.

“You spent all those years suffering and didn’t even try to tell anyone not even gramps or Emma.
I’m here now, little brother, I’m not going to leave you again okay?”

Shinichiro knows his brother, despite his childish disposition; he would never make up such a
story with a serious look on his face and even get his friends to join in on it. Shinichiro told them if
they were ever having problems, they can come to him. The only dilemma they are trying to figure
out if they the others also remembered, they know that it will be a miracle if they did, but they
can’t help but hope. They reached a decision to let things go as they are, they will still all meet at a
certain point in their lives, they had the knowledge of everything that’s going to happen, and they
can use that to their advantage. They all slept that night knowing everything will be okay.

Time passed by as they grew and so did Toman. Shinichiro never died so Mikey made sure to
spend most of his time with his older brother. The others hanged out at Shinichiro’s bike shop
every afternoon to learn and help him if he needed it. Shinichiro also introduced Izana to him,
hoping that this time; the two will get along well. Mikey tried his best not to cry, remembering
what happened to Izana in the future. He introduced himself as Izana’s brother which Izana looked
at him with astonishment that Mikey considers him as his brother. From that moment, the two were
always together especially when they adopted Izana. Mitsuya concluded that it was only them who
remembered since Izana eyes didn’t even had a hint of recognition as to who they were. They were
resigned knowing that the others also may not remember them, but they will try their best to live
with this information.

Imagine to their surprise when Pah brought a bewildered Peh, saying that he remembers them.
At first, Peh didn’t even recognized Pah but when they shook hands, all of his memories from the
future came rushing to his mind. This meant that the handshake was the trigger but Mikey pointed
out that he also did that with Izana but nothing happened. Draken suspected that maybe it only
worked on those who were in Toman. With that speculation, they were excited to meet the others
but most of all, the one who they owe their lives to.

After Peh came Hakkai, then Chifuyu, Smiley, Angry, Sanzu and Mucho. It seemed the
captains and vice-captains were the only ones who could remember after shaking hands with them.
Sanzu apologized to all of them for what he did which earned him punches and kicks but they were
grateful that he stood with Mikey until the end. Chifuyu was the one with the most knowledge as to
what happened so he told them everything, especially Takemichi’s power to go back in time. That
explained all of his actions, from Draken’s stabbing to him continuing to find Mikey. A myriad of
emotions filled them as they came to realize all of Takemichi’s hardships in making sure they
didn’t suffer or die. But who made sure that Takemichi wasn’t suffering from the entire trauma he
had seen and experienced?

Mikey felt his heart breaking in two, how many times had he made Takemitchy suffer? The
only person who Mikey gave his love to? He knew he loved Takemitchy from the moment he saw
him getting beat up by Kiyomasa, his determination not to give up moved Mikey. Day by day, he
fell harder for Takemitchy and to learn that he made sure that Mikey and Toman wouldn’t fall into
despair to the point of his own, sealed the deal. Mikey’s going to marry him. Now if only they
could find him. Chifuyu pointed out that Takemichi would be at Mizo Middle School. There hasn’t
been any word about Kiyomasa’s illegal fighting rings yet so they don’t know how they’re going
to approach Takemichi. They still, of course, remembered where Takemichi’s house was, but they
didn’t want to come off as rude but it was the only choice they had if they want to spend more time
with Takemichi.

So they embarked to Takemichi’s house one morning. Chifuyu, Hakkai and Angry were
excited to meet their friend again, they planned out things they could do when Takemichi
remembers them. Mitsuya and Smiley looked at them with endearment, also excited to see
Takemichi; they see him like a younger brother and decided to pamper him more this time. Baji
was looking forward to meet Takemichi and get to know him more. Pah and Peh also see
Takemichi as their little brother, he earned their respect for what he did. Sanzu and Mucho aren’t
sure what he is to them but they admire his perseverance. Draken might have to give the kid a
smack to the head for not listening to him, but chuckled at the memory of Takemichi’s scrawny
body trying to carry him to the hospital. Mikey on the other hand, was skipping, thrilled to finally
see his Takemitchy. You could almost see pink flowers around him.

They were near Takemichi’s house when they saw him, standing outside while talking to an
old woman. They took in his smile, his eyes that dazzle under the light of the sun and his ridiculous
hairdo that somehow suited him. He looked to them, confused as to why they were looking at him
and his neighbor, but something in his heart, skipped at seeing them, as if it recognizes them. The
old lady glanced to where he was looking, smiling, pondering if they were his friends. She bid him
goodbye and went inside her house. They went near him, unsure of what to do or say. He was
finally in front of them but they didn’t know how to approach him.

“Uhmmm… Can I help you with something?”

Oh how Mikey and the others missed his voice. They might look stupid in front of him, trying
not to cry but they held it in, knowing he would understand the moment they shook hands. They
agreed that Mikey should be the one to shake his hand since they had a connection deeper than
friendship.

“You’re Hanagaki Takemitchy, right?”

“Yes, but its Takemichi, not Takemitchy.”

“I’m Sano Manjiro, but you can call me Mikey, Takemitchy!”

“Nice to meet you too…? And again it’s Takemichi, not Takemitchy…”

Takemichi looked at him, confused as to why this stranger would suddenly offer his name and
hand. His friends seem to only be amused and excited, as if Mikey’s hand was the key to
everything. They all fidgeted in anticipation as they watched Takemichi shook Mikey’s hand.
They’ve done it, now every one of their circle is complete. Mikey was giddy that Takemitchy
could finally be with them and he could confess to him this time.

“Could you now let go of my hand, please?”

“Huh?”

They looked at him with shock and a hint of despair, Takemichi was supposed to be crying
with joy at seeing them, smiling at them with that beaming smile of his. When they saw that his
eyes looked at them with no recognition at all, their stomachs’ dropped. Why didn’t the handshake
work? It was supposed to work!

Chifuyu ran to him, shaking Takemichi, his voice quivering, asking him if he was joking.
Takemichi tried to pull away from Chifuyu’s grip, spooked by the boy’s actions. Baji and Kazutora
grabbed him away from Takemichi, their own faces stricken with pain. Angry was vibrating with
outrage and desperation while Smiley was trying to calm him down despite his own misery.
Hakkai and Mitsuya, not even bothering to let their tears flow, tried to help Baji and Kazutora with
Chifuyu who was now wailing. Pah, Peh, Sanzu and Mucho could only watch as their friends
crumbled, not knowing on how to help. Draken wanted to punch Takemichi but he couldn’t, not
when Takemichi looked at them so frightened and confused. Mikey was silent, he couldn’t believe
it didn’t work, this was Takemitchy, it was supposed to work. Was someone trying to play a sick
joke on them?

“Takemitchy…. Why don’t you remember?”

“Remember what? I don’t know what you are talking about!”

“It’s me Takemitchy! It’s Mikey! Are you trying to prank me? You must be, right? If so it isn’t
funny!”

It took them a moment before trying to get Mikey off of Takemitchy, who tackled him to the
ground. Grabbing his collar, Mikey yelled all the words he wanted to say to Takemitchy, he poured
his heart out, not caring as the others tried to grab him. His only focus was Takemitchy. He scolded
him for trying to find Mikey and for always putting his life on the line not caring about what others
would feel if something happened to him. He confessed his love for him, about how he fell in love
with him, what he loved about him and that he never stopped loving him.

The others watched them, stunned at what they were seeing. They haven’t seen Mikey like
this, he was always silent with his anger; this meant that Takemitchy means that much to him for
him to break his character. If Takemitchy couldn’t remember him then this will be his last chance
to do this before Takemitchy files a restraining order on them. Mikey kissed him on the lips.
Gasps could be heard from the group. When Takemitchy didn’t react, Mikey kissed him harder
until they were about of breath. This might be the only kiss he was going to get from the person he
loves, might as well make the most of it. Takemitchy tried to pull him off of him with all his might,
when he didn’t budge, Takemitchy slapped him.
“Mikey-kun, were trying to kill me?! I couldn’t breathe!”

“Takemitchy…?”

The others gaped at the scene before it registered to them that Takemichi called Mikey by his
nickname. Mikey apparently realized it as well as he yelled Takemitchy’s name, hugging him.
Takemitchy hugged him back, now crying and smiling. He remembered all of them and what had
happened before he came back to this timeline. He leaned back watching Mikey’s face, before
pecking him on the lips. Mikey looked at him in astonishment, both of them knowing that they
didn’t need words to know what it meant. They were startled when the others tackled them to the
ground, cheering. They stood up and each took their turns hugging Takemitchy and giving him fist
bumps.

Chifuyu and Hakkai wouldn’t let go of him, squeezing him before Smiley and Angry pulled
them away, wanting to hug Takemitchy too. Mitsuya flicked him on the forehead before giving
him a hug, stating that he was happy to see him. Draken, true to his words, smacked the back of his
head before ruffling his hair, messing it up, saying that it wasn’t the same without him. Pah, Peh,
Sanzu and Mucho gave him fist bumps, it was awkward for Sanzu but Takemitchy’s smile
reassured him that he doesn’t hold a grudge against him.

Mikey felt his heart and soul complete as Takemitchy was now with them. They all went
inside his house to explain what happened to them from the start. Takemitchy didn’t know why
Mikey was sent to the past back instead of him but he did promise to save Mikey. Maybe whoever
gave him these powers heard his pledge and granted him the chance to save Mikey in the form of
Mikey being the one to be sent back instead of him. All of them didn’t care anymore on how they
got here, what matters the most is that they are complete and alive. It was almost night time but
none of them had the heart to leave each other. Takemitchy told them they could stay over, he
could cook something for them. Not wanting to miss out on his cooking, they all agreed. When
time came for them to sleep, they slept together in the living room. Mikey and Takemitchy slept
together, cuddling.

“Ne, Takemitchy…”

“Yes Mikey-kun?”

“You love me, right?”

“Why are you asking me that?”

“Just answer the question.”

“Of course I love you, Mikey-kun.”

“You won’t leave me?”

“I won’t.”

“You’ll be here with me until the end?”

“I will be. What’s with these questions?”

“Just making sure…”

“I spent different futures seeing you in such terrible states, some because I left you. I’m not taking
that risk again. I promise you, until we are of old age, I would always be here with you, Mikey-
 kun, from your achievements to your lowest of moments. I love you.”

“That somehow sounds like a marriage proposal, Mitchy~”

“I-I’m just saying how I feel!”

“I know, I know~ I’m happy to hear that my Takemitchy loves me that much! You look adorable
when you blush!”

“Oh hush you… Go to sleep Mikey-kun, I’ll be here when you wake up.”

Takemitchy kissed Mikey’s forehead before pulling Mikey’s head closer to his chest. Mikey put
his arms around Takemitchy, snuggling into his warmth and letting his Mitchy’s heartbeat lull him
to sleep. The two slept peacefully that night, surrounded by their friends. Now that Takemitchy
remembers them, they’ll do whatever it takes to spend more time with him and woe to those who
try to take him away from them.

Fate looks down on them, elated that their favorites have met each other. They regret putting
them through so much pain, but it was the only way for them to reach the timeline where they
could all be happy. They continue to gaze at them with fondness, catching the sight of Takemichi
and Mikey’s red string, connecting them to each other. They didn’t have to suffer anymore, Fate
made sure of that, may it be in this life or the next.
