Akashi Takeomi was dying but he couldn't find in himself the fear he once held for death.

He had lost his siblings all because he was a piece of shit of a brother.

His friends abandoned him when not even they knew what to do with him.

Takeomi brought this to himself and he knew that better than anyone.

If given another chance he would for sure try to be a better brother for his siblings and also a better friend.

Akashi Takeomi left this world full of guilt and God seeing how he wished to be better decided to give a rest to his favored child and give Takeomi the chance to save everyone by being a better brother.

"-omi? Takeomi!"

"Shin?" said Takeomi confused because he wasn't in the that old and falling down apartment where he was dying and because his friend had been dead for years

"I know that you are going to blame Haruchiyo but I think we should hear everyone's side of what happened today" Shinichiro sighed and Takeomi froze remembering that this was the day he made his biggest mistake which broke any bond he could ever have with Sanzu

"I will keep that in mind" Takeomi said even if he already knew the full story and knew how wrong he had been

"I really hope you do" Shinichiro said "I will take Haruchiyo home tomorrow. Bye!" the call was ended and Takeomi was left alone with his thoughts

Takeomi doesn't know what happened but he knew he was back in time, more specifically the day(more like night) Sanzu got those scars from Mikey. He was probably the last person who deserved this second chance but Takeomi knew what he would be doing this time. He would be there for his siblings and be a better brother than he ever was because they deserve someone better than Takeomi as their brother for sure.

He sighed and made his way to Senju's room finding her sleeping with tears still in her face(he can't believe that he blamed Sanzu for everything when he was the one who suffered the most). He walked to her and cleaned her face before kissing her forehead.

"Goodnight, Sen" he whispered and left the room to also sleep

Tomorrow he will start his change to be a better brother.

The next morning arrived and Shinichiro brought Sanzu home before he had to leave to inform his grandpa about what happened since the man had been visiting a friend before. The two brothers were silent in the kitchen, neither knowing what to say until Takeomi decided to take the first step.

"I'm sorry, Haruchiyo" Takeomi said and Sanzu looked at him surprised "I have been putting too much pressure on you and blaming you for things you can't control" Sanuz looked at Takeomi one last time before looking at the ground

"And if I said that yesterday wasn't my fault?" asked Sanzu softly

"I would believe you" said Takeomi serious but Sanzu still didn't look at him but did continue his story

"After what happened that morning I went to play with Keisuke in the back garden but suddenly Manjiro came to mr glaring and asked me why did I do that" Sanzu bit his lip to try and hold his tears before continuing "I was so confused about it but then he mentioned the toy and I said I had been all this time playing with Keisuke and didn't even go near his room, Keisuke even vouched for me, but..." Takeomi got up and brought his brother to a hug who flinched and tensed but seeing that Takeomi wouldn't do anything he hugged back before continuing "He didn't believe me and told me to not try and blame Senju for it...I may have exploded saying that I had enough of people blaming me for things Senju did of her own free will and next thing I know he somehow craved this scars in my face" Sanzu hide his face in Takeomi's chest but didn't cry despite how much he wanted to
