Takemichi returned to the future.  He finally did it.  He made sure everything was ok.  He left notes to his younger self to make sure he doesn’t mess up again.  Although, just in case, he added details that only Takemichi would know.  Even added things that will keep him updated on what he did while he was in the past.  

So far, he thinks that his past self did well.  After returning to the future, he felt intense exhaustion.  His body was so heavy, he even fell to his knees.  It was weird.  He never felt like this whenever he returned.

Whatever.  He shook his exhaustion and stood up.  He needed to make sure that everything was okay.  He went to S.S Motors.  Takemichi was nervous.  From the outside, he watched the open garage carefully.  He saw Mikey and Draken working on a bike.  Mitsuya was also there. The captains and vice captains.  Takemichi sighed in relief, his tears welling up.  “Thank goodness.  They’re okay.”

He heard Mikey laugh out loud at something Draken said.  Mikey caught Takemichi in his peripheral vision.  He shouted, “yo Takemitchy!”

He jumped at the voice.  He nervously chuckled and went to the garage. He was welcomed warmly.  More so than he thought.  

“Are you crying again?” Mikey chuckled as he patted his back.

Takemichi wheezed at the strength of his commander.  

“Still can't get over Tachibana?” Mitsuya asked.

“Huh?”

“I know you loved her dude but you gotta move on,” Draken said.  “She’s with Kisaki now.”

What?

Takemichi, not knowing what to say, could only scratch the back of his neck sheepishly.  “I mean…” he trailed off.

Calm down Takemichi. Try to understand this.  You might fuck things up again.

“I’m not crying…” he muttered.  “Even if I was, it’s not… about that…”

“Uh huh.”  They said in unison with the same skeptical tone.

“I just…” Takemichi sighed before smiling brightly.  “I just miss you guys.”

Draken chuckled at him.  Everyone was looking fondly at their crybaby hero.  “You don't change huh. Still so sentimental.” Chifuyu said, smiling.

Alright, it looks like everything else seems to be doing well.  Maybe except for Hina.  

“I’m gonna go check on Hina.” Takemichi said.

“Takemitchy,” Draken said almost sadly.  “Don't do this to yourself.”

“I’m okay.  It’s nothing. I promise.”

“Last time you said that, Mikey had to pull you off a bridge.” Mitsuya said bitterly.

Takemichi whipped his head around to look at Mikey.  “It’s… fine.”

Takemichi chuckled nervously.  Confused about what is happening.  “I’m not gonna do that… again…”

Mikey remained silent.  Takemichi felt bad.  He knew what it felt like to witness someone die.  “I’m sorry Mikey-kun.”

Mikey hugged Takemichi tightly as if not wanting to let him go.  So he stayed and listened to all their stories.  Takemichi was happy to see them all happy.  They all seem to be doing well.  Now, he's curious on what he turned out to be like.

They all shared a lot to the point that was nighttime already.  “I’m off!” Takemichi said and they all said their goodbyes.

“I’ll walk you home.” Mikey appeared all of a sudden, startling him.
