Divergence

Crybaby

There was a lot of things that had happened at once.

Yet... Takemichi only wishes to properly tell his feelings to Mikey.

Maybe that is why... He ended up going to the wrong room.

..........
...

...

*BANG! BANG! BANG!*

Three shots to his chest. And just like that he fell onto the cold cemented ground.

A lot of things happened all at once. He was struck with all the things in his life, all at once.

Takemichi remembers everything from that moment on.

He actually loves dandelions, the color yellow, the rain, and he loves all the warm things in life he could ever have.

From warm tea... The sunlight on his skin... From the hugs and compliments of people.

He loved seeing other's happy.

He loves seeing himself happy with the people he cherished.

Once he sought to be a hero. Once he thought he could sit on top of the world.

Once he was strong... Then he fell.

He lost all the things that he had loved and all was left was a crying empty shell.

A shell that was hollowed, carrying him to adulthood. Maybe that was why time felt so pass in the span of 12 years.

But meeting Mikey made his world stop. For his time to slow down.

He began noticing how warm the world is, how delightful sweets are, the contact of a human skin... The sound of his own laughter.

They were lost in their own world together.

But that was not the only reason why he loves Mikey.

The clear reason why is...

Five days ago...

"Hey Mikey... What do you think of time leaping?" Takemichi asks absent-mindedly as they rest on top of the bed.

"Time leap... As in, going back from here to past or future?"

"Yup... Do you have anything you wish to change?"

".... A lot I think... How about you?"

"The same as you... I want to change the past... Perhaps, even meet you sooner."

"Then if one of us could go back in time... I want it to be you."

"Huh?" Takemichi asks out of confusion.

Mikey gave him an honest smile with light dancing at the orbs of his eyes, "Because... You are a truly wonderful and strong person... If it is you, I'm sure you will help a lot of people."

Takemichi scratches his cheek as he blush, "Don't say things like that... Let's sleep?"

"Sure."

In fact on that day he couldn't sleep for it felt like butterflies were dancing at the pit of his stomach. And he couldn't smile out of glee.

Mikey saw a part of him he never even saw. Nor knew.

That is one of the reasons why he fell in love with Mikey.
