Everyday Onwards (Hanagaki Takemichi x Sano Manjirou)

About Television...

"Takemitchy... That movie is still going on?" Mikey yawns as soon as he try to rub his eyes.

Keeping himself in between of Takemichi's seated legs in front of their television on a common Saturday night.

Takemichi loves watching movies, and it seems this new movie had been a big hit. Seeing how fast its stock get borrowed, Takemichi curiosly borrowed a cd for himself. A perk of working at a cd rental shop.

"Mikey... You slept halfway through the movie though." Takemichi sighs before he pets Mikey.

At times like this Mikey reminds him of a playful cat. Most of the time Mikey would often sleep, so having Mikey at his side trying to stay awake to watch a movie with him is quite touching.

The sound of the storm from the movie wakes the two of them to focus on the scene played right before them.

The man then shakes the female lead's shoulder as he yell loudly.

"Even if it took me years, I would have saved you... Even if I were to know all these things I would have saved you in a heartbeat."

The woman then hugs the man back as they both cry in the middle of the stormy night, lips touching as their hair strands entangle and the mellow theme of the background music plays emphasizing the emotions potrayed.

This is an apocalyptic cliche movie, where as a simple and common police officer comes to rescue for his lover despite, all the monsters he had to face along the way.

He struggled a lot, having gunshots and scars, being bruised a lot. He was in a deep pain and had even despaired at the pain of his comrades.

In the end, the two leads have their happy ending even in the midst of the never ending apocalyptic night.

The movie ends as the credits roll on the screen, and Takemichi was silent and so was, Mikey.

"It was a pretty good movie." Takemichi breaks the silence as he gently returns the cd to its case. Making sure it had no scratches for he had to return it.

"Takemitchy, your life by now is pretty much like one of those stories, huh?" Mikey then adds out of nowhere as he rest his head on his knees, which he kept near his chest.

Takemichi frowns as he kneel right in front of Mikey, flicking the male's forehead earning him a soft hiss.

"Mikey, you were thinking something unpleasant... Weren't you?"

"Urghh... Maybe, just a bit."

"Don't worry... I don't regret anything... Maybe just the fact, that I could have saved Emma and Baji-kun... But aside from that... Maybe a lot more too."

"Takemitchy..."

Takemichi then wraps his arms loosely at Mikey's back as he rub his head to the male's stomach. Mikey then softly pets his head.

"But now... I don't want to really torment myself with those thoughts... I want to fulfill my promise to them instead, that I'll always take care of you." Takemichi smiles softly as Mikey hesitates before resting his hand on Takemichi shoulder.

"Sorry, Takemichi."

"You have nothing to be sorry about..."

"Then... I'll definitely pay back all the things you are doing for me... Even if you say you don't it, I'll do it anyways... I love you, Takemichi."

"This is rare with you calling my name..."

"Then savour it a bit more." Mikey then single handedly yet gently lifts up Takemichi, letting his lover sit on his lap.
