Takemichi Angst Prompts

16) What Was I Made For?

A/N:

Based on the song "What Was I Made For" by Billie Eilish

Although since its not the full song, I can't say if this is considered a songfic or not.

It's just based on literally that one line in the song lol.

What was I made for?

Takemichi was nothing throughout his life.  He was a loser and he didn't offer anything of value to the world.  That is until he gained the ability to time travel.  

He time leaps over and over again.  Hina and Mikey keep dying.  Draken dies. Everyone dies.  Then his future self is always a bum.  Alone, minimum wage job. Depressed.  Dropped out of high school.  He’s worth nothing, in the past and in the future.

Why is he even here? It's not like he's strong or smart. He can't do anything by himself. He's just wasting more oxygen the longer he stays.

He soon realized he was made for other people’s happiness.  Hina, a respectable lady who didn't deserve to die early.  Mikey, a man with a strong sense of justice, falls into evil and dies.  Kisaki, who is a genius and had a lot of potential but felt lonely and decided to take his anger out on the wrong people.  All the Toman members are loyal and good people but died brutally for no good reason.  All of them had a good future ahead of them. Potential that couldn't be reached because of circumstances.

What was he made for? 

Compared to theirs, his life was nothing.  He was worthless.  So he decided, instead of making use of his ability to try to get himself a better life, he should use it to better their lives.  

What was he made for?

For Hina.   For Mikey.  For Toman.  For Kisaki.

He was made so these people can live a happy and fulfilling life.  Achieving their dreams and aspirations.  Making them good people.  Making sure they found love, friendship and success.

This is what he’s made for.

That’s all he’s ever made for.

Takemichi looked over his handiwork from afar.  As if there was an invisible barrier separating him from everyone else.  Everyone is happy.  Everyone is alive. He did it.  He was finally of value.  Takemichi smiled and nodded to himself.

See? 

This is what I'm made for.

He walked away so he wouldn't disturb them.  Although, he looked over his shoulder one last time to look at his friends.   He'll miss them.  Even if they won't miss him. 

Hanagaki Takemichi disappeared with the wind, as if he never existed.
