Love doesn't stay- AllTakemichi

Chapter 1

_If you die then everything is meaningless, right?_ he cries, the tears in his eyes are falling while he holds his hands
_Hey...? I beg you wake up for me!!!_ he begs but know that is impossible to wake him up, he lost-no, they lost him forever, and these were the last words he hears.

Takemichi's pov:

_Ugh, my head..._ after I mumblet that I open my eyes wide and looking around seeing a familiar room. I've gone back in time... but something's weird, I lift my hands.

_Why are they so small?...What's happening!?_ I check the calendar and I'm shocked, I went back in time when I was 6 years old, wait, I shook hands with Mikey before to... maybe he remembers and so we can make a plan!

I change and run downstairs
If I get to him, it's probably not too late, right? No, it can't be late, his brother isn't dead right? Unanswered questions run through my head as I run downstairs but they come back to me when I hear a familiar voice

_Michi, why are you awake?_
_Mom...um, why not, I have school_ I reply looking at her drinking a cup of coffee with her hair in a messy bun and leafy pajamas with slippers, she wants to Say something when someone comes in the kitchen

_Oh my-, did this lazy worm wake up early-_ my father laughs at me as he comes out of the bedroom in matching pajamas with my mother's
_Morning, love_ he says and goes to hug her giving her a kiss on the cheek, she kissing him back, my body doesn't know why it isn't responding, I just sit there staring

_It's impossible, my father should be in America working for some company and my mother should be ready for work or even gone somewhere!_

It seems that I didn't see the time correctly, when I woke up it was actually 5 in the morning, and, I couldn't sleep anymore so I went to have breakfast with my parents. It wasn't like these times when I woke up late or when they were gone and the only one left was me.

Seeing them sitting with me at the table unhurriedly brought back memories that I had forgot. I don't know why but my chest is tight...eh, maybe I need to eat slowly. Wait, I have to remember why I'm here, I have to save them, it's kind of ignorant of me to enjoy it now and have them suffer in the future because I didn't help them...

Actually, I would-no, I need to relax, anyway i don't have anything to do yet, nobody's dead... but what if it had changed something like always-no, let's not let bad thoughts from the first day

I need a break too, i'm sure they'll understand. I shake my head trying to focus on this moment that I'm sure I'll be recreating with my friends after I get everything sorted out

I hear them giggling and just smiling, I suddenly get an overwhelming feeling, I look up to see the two of them laughing, Hiro behind her hugging her tightly and whispering something in her ear.

_They look so- happy, so- joyful... so full of life, like nothing will bother them... I want to feel the same way_ I think and get up from the chair, I don't know why but my body doesn't listen to me, I go towards them and hug my mother from the side, she is of course confused and picks me up on her lap

No one's pov:

_Are you okay, do you have a fever?_ she asks worriedly and puts her hand on his forehead, suddenly the feeling feel deeper and without realizing it he starts to cry, Hirokou wanted to make a joke about it but after seeing that he was crying he started to worry

_It hurts somewhere, something happened, you want something, I have candy in that cupboard if you want it, don't cry_ he says quickly trying to stop him from crying, even though he doesn't know how to do it he doesn't want to see his child cry, it breaks his heart.

Takemichi calms down after a while but the parents are still worried, he wants to assure them that everything is fine, but he doesn't know how to explain to them that as a 7-year-old will do

_I'm fine, I just felt something when I saw us sitting at the table and eating together, you know, because you're almost everyday gone and.. and I don't know why I did it, I'm sorry_ what he said was not really a lie, but at the end, as usual, he apologized. Parents a little stressed about what their child said try to coax him and apologize back for what they made him feel

Hiro was the first to speak, telling a joke _Stop this cuteness, you're making me sick_
_Okay, more for me and Michi then_ she says excitedly and hugs him tightly as he does the same with his typical bright smile

_Michi, can you help me prepare the bentos?_ she asks as she puts on her apron, he nods and they both start preparing three bentos. After about 20 minutes they finish them, well, she did much of the cooking, he just helped her a little bit

He puts his bento in the bag when he sees Hiro coming out of the bedroom ready for work
_Bye love, I already miss you!_ he shouted as he put on his shoes _Oh yes, bye Michi_ he remembers and says in a soft tone, Takemichi walks over to his father with the bento behind his back, Hirokou looks up to see him standing in front of him

_You need something?_ he asks confused, he is taken by surprise when Takemichi hands him the bento box, he is surprised in the first few seconds then he takes it, thanking him and stroking his hair, he smiles and lets himself be stroked. Hiro gives up and hugs him wondering how they could have created this angel

_Don't you have to go to work?_
_Five more minutes_ he says wanting for time to stop and him to stop growing up.
