[His Lies and the Battles Beginning]

Third POV

Hanagaki Takemichi had accepted the confession of Toman after his father's funeral, he thought something would change but I guess that was just his imagination. Other than the unrestrained PDA or maybe them being a bit touchy, nothing really changed.

Is this what Kei san meant by me being dense? I wish I had noticed it a bit sooner. Takemichi thought to himself.

A few days back, during the day of the funeral, takemichi was the only living relative that visited his father. He was crying and breaking down that day but he wasn't alone, everyone from Toman was there for him, he didn't have to feel alone since he has people he can rely on.

That day of the accident, marks one of the darkest times Takemichi had gone through, despite being a time leaper before and witnessed tons of deaths. It doesn't change anything, to him, a death is a death. He himself was surprised how he was still intact.

He was strong.

Today, he was in the cemetery with Baji, Takemichi was in front of Kei's grave and Baji in front of Shinichiro's.

"Kei san, I'm pretty sure you'll meet mom and dad there, don't beat up dad, okay? He had his reasons as to why he did those... I'll visit again." Takemichi said as he put a flower on the grave.

The then moved to another grave, his parent's grave.

"Hi mom, hi dad, it's me, your one and only favourite Mimi, I'm pretty sure I told dad not to call me that back then when I was a kid." Takemichi chuckled as he crouched in front of the gravestone.

"Dad, I forgive you for breaking the promise... But you have to take care of mom, okay? And mom, go easy on dad, he needed to do that so don't get too mad." Takemichi smiled as he puts a bouquet of flowers on the grave.

"Mom, dad, would you be mad if I said I was gay and have boyfriends? I mean maybe not?" Takemichi laughed as he proceeded to sit down.

"You know, I never really expected to have a lover again after Hina, much less 9 of them too. Well I am pretty, after all I have mom's eyes which was the prettiest amongst humans!" Takemichi declared proudly.
