1.

Endless. The endless was ending as too much of Takemichi's joy.

He saved Shinichiro from being brutally (and accidentally) murdered by Kazutora in his shop. August 14 of 2003, the hero prevented a tragic death that broke Mikey's heart in the past.

Now, Shinichiro was there for his younger sibling.

All done, right?

Or so he thought.

He knows he should go back into the present to rearrange certain events in Kazutora and Chifuyu's memory to inform the success of the mission.

But, how about Kisaki and Hinata?

He can't prevent them from meeting, it was all too of the past. At this time as well, he already met Hina (or saved her which resulting him getting hurt more than the young girl). And it'll probably be impossible to not make her fall in love with him if his actions in the past made her do so. He can reject her confession, but he scraps that idea away, he doesn't want to hurt Hina's feelings.

He should go back. He probably should.

Though he thinks it's better to stay for a while and watch over Shinichiro and Mikey a bit.

Also Kisaki. But he should be out of the story, right?

He can have Hina all he wants. But Takemichi's pride and love don't want his girl to be in the hands of the devil.

So what now?

He made a decision.

He'll go back with Kazutora and Chifuyu and discuss the situation a bit. Maybe he's with Hina in the future. They'll tell him. If he stayed, Kazutora may worry that he isn't back in years.

Two years prior, Hina will be his girlfriend.

He just has to shake hands with the said trigger.

Which was easy, he was always with Baji, who was always with Mikey, and the said boy was too attached to Takemichi after saving his older brother's life.

So this was easy.

He shook hands and boom, he was back in the year 2017.

The moment he came back, Kazutora hugged him with such force that made him back a few steps back. He felt the huge grin on the older's face.

"Kazutora-kun?" Takemichi pats his back. It made Kazutora hug him tighter.

"You did it, You saved Shinichiro-kun!" He jumped whilst holding the blue-eyed man. Takemichi smiled and returned his hug. He let go of the other and held his shoulders. Out of nowhere, Kazutora left a peck on Takemichi's cheek.

"E-eh?!" Takemichi's cheeks suddenly turned red, eyes roaming around in shock.

Kazutora's grin grew larger, "You did it. Great job, Mitchy."

The raven-haired smiled. Glad Kazutora was happy and out of the mess and trauma it gave when he murdered Shinichiro.

a few hours later...

They were in the pet shop Baji, Kazutora, and Chifuyu owned, and the youngest turned the sign to 'closed' for a while to have a talk with Takemichi and Kazutora. Baji was out to buy some groceries as punishment for not cooking the rice when Chifuyu asked to when he came home.
