1.
Takemichi had thousand of time travels, thousand of sacrifices, and he still couldn't save everyone. But since he has a kind heart, he won't run or give up until they all have their merry endings. If he dies, then it's all his fault.
Well, nobody died in this timeline, everybody got their happy ending. Except for Mikey and Shinichiro.
They were drowning in a pool of darkness, awoken by personal reasons.
Fortunately, Mikey can handle his impulses, with the help of his siblings and allies. While...about Shinichiro...we don't talk about that.
Then, he found out Hina was missing. Well, damn fucking great. He's having the time of his life with this.
He's used to this cycle, go back in time, save someone, then go back to the future and get the news that the future was much more twisted than before. Fuck, he always says.
And here he is, meeting up with Hina after finding her. That's a relief. Good thing he's going to see an alive Hina, not the ones he always encounters when he comes back. And he has a lot of questions for her, and he'll bombard her with an innocent look on his face.
That sounded so wrong, Takemichi thought. He shook his head, crumpling the soft material wrapping around his thighs. He then looked outside, propping his arm over the door and watched as the world leaves behind him.
"You look like you were lost in such deep thoughts, Takemitchy," Mikey glanced over at Takemichi, before averting his eyes again over the road. The ravenette laughed nervously in response, ruffling his hair with his right hand.
"I kinda was," He answered. He then stayed mum, as the only sound heard was the faint radio playing an unknown song and the engine roaring.
"You know I'm open for a polyamory relationship," Mikey said, chuckling a bit. "As long as I can have some alone time with you."
"Mikey!" Takemichi blurted out, his eyes dilated and his cheeks red. "That-that's not it..."
"I know that," The older male took his hand and squeezed it. "Everything's gonna be alright though, Takemitchy. You know that Hina-chan loves you so much not to forgive you. You know her better than anyone else."
Takemichi smiled at him, "Thank you, Mikey."
...
"We're here, Takemitchy," Mikey pressed onto the brakes, stopping the car. They were in front of a small house, with a light ivory colour painted all over the walls. It was simple, with a nameplate named "Tachibana" written on the steel plate. The ravenette took a deep breath before unbuckling his seatbelt and opening the car door. He stepped out, closing it slowly before looking back again at the home.
Typical Hina, Takemichi smiled as he noticed the small garden in the front yard. Her place won't be lively without flowers.
Mikey whistled, settling beside the taller male and pocketing his small hands, "What a cute house."
"Hina likes small and simple things, at least," Takemichi said before pressing the doorbell. They waited there for a while until they heard children voices near the door. His whole body stiffened when he heard the lock being opened.
Don't be nervous, Hanagaki Takemichi. That's just Hina. Tachibana Hina. The door opened, revealing two children with blonde hair and blue eyes. They ran out of the front porch, the little girl holding an orange while the young male held a banana.
"Now, now, Rin, don't run," A woman in her mid-twenties opened the door fully, her peach locks tied into a high bun, strands of loose hair resting over her shoulders. Her bangs softly rested by her forehead just below her eyebrows, the left side being held with a white clip. She had a red-and-orange striped shirt tucked in white shorts, accustomed with a brown thick belt. The said lady had a mole under her lips, and her cheeks had a natural tint.
Takemichi blushed, she was enchanting.
Hinata looked at who rang the bell, and her pupils dilated in shock. She smiled, running towards the gate and opening it immediately. She then threw herself onto the ravenette, her arms tight around his torso. With no hesitation, Takemichi hugged her back by the shoulders, tears flowing from his eyes.
"Mama, who's that?" Ren, the young boy, said, taking a bite from the banana. The young girl, quite smaller than him, held his shirt and hid behind him. Hina released her lover and squatted down by the twins, a smile on her pink lips.
"This is Takemichi, your adoptive father."
"F-father?!" Takemichi was taken aback.
"Oh, he's the Papa Micchi?" Rin peeked over, then glared over at Mikey. "Then who's he?"
"Ah, that's Papa Mikey," Hina answered. "That's Papa Micchi's boyfriend."
"And how about you?" Ren asked. "Who's your boyfriend?"
"Papa Micchi," She chuckled. The two tilted their head in confusion.
"You'll understand when you grow up," she patted their heads, before standing up and leading them inside, taking their small hands. "Come inside, you two!"
The said males looked at each other before entering.
2.
"Here's some tea!" Hina announced, placing the tray by the coffee table. Mikey was standing by the large glass door, looking at the backyard full of outside toys. Takemichi sat on the couch, bowing slightly at her with a smile before taking the small cup of black tea. Ren sat down by Takemichi's lap while Rin ran upstairs to get something. Hinata sat down by his left, then gave Ren a small lion.
"So," Takemichi started, putting the cup carefully while holding Ren's waist. "Why did you leave so suddenly? we looked everywhere for you."
"The thing is," Hina looked down, hugging the throw pillow closer to her chest. "Mama and Papa moved me here and asked me to cut all communication with everyone."
"Wow," Mikey whistled, still looking outside. "Why exactly?"
"Takemichi-kun," She muttered. "You know Papa doesn't like you, right?"
The said male just nodded.
"That's why they moved me here to Hyogo. Just to get away from you. Because you're...you know, a delinquent."
"Tell your parents I don't like them as well," Mikey said. Hina chuckled.
"You continued college here?" Takemichi froze when Ren fixed his position and leaned over to the ravenette's chest. The blonde boy started to close his blue orbs, slowly putting the lion down by his lap. "And adopted Ren and Rin?"
"Yes," Hina looked at Ren and smiled. "I adopted them a year after I finished university. I worked at a daycare back then and I saw Ren and Rin. The owner told me that it's been two days and their mother still hasn't picked them up. Then, it's been a week and their mother still isn't picking them up. She tried to call her, then she told us that she wouldn't be picking them up anymore. I adopted them and here they are. It's been two years since."
"At least they're in good hands," Takemichi commented, pulling the child closer to him.
"Say Hina," Mikey sat down by the chair near the window, crossing his legs with one another. He smiled at Hina and said. "Are you interested in a polyamory relationship?"
"Mikey!"
"If it is with Takemichi-kun," Hina returned the same smile as Mikey. "Why, of course not?"
"Now that's settled," Mikey laughed. "Let's get married!"
"Mikey!" Takemichi blushed in embarrassment, which made the other adults laugh.
