#takemichi

MITSUYA TAKASHI had always said he didn’t have a favorite color.

When his classmates argued about which shade was the prettiest–some said sky blue, others cherry red, and a few, emerald green–he barely listened. Someone even mentioned a hex code he couldn’t be bothered to remember. With a pencil between his fingers, he was sketching something no one else could see. “Colors don’t mean anything unless you give them purpose.” he used to believe.

But that was before you.

Let's imagine that all characters aren't minors. And sorry, I got too lazy to do covers for each character :v (maybe I'll update again with the covers when I don't feel this lazy)

Mikey

Mikey refuses to spend Christmas anywhere but with you. He drags a futon, blankets, snacks, and even attempts to hang lights (they fall three times). He gives you a small gift: something handmade. A charm, probably. He rests his head on your lap while watching a movie, expression soft, eyelids heavy. For once, he looks peaceful, like the boy he should’ve been able to stay. “Stay tonight… It’s better when you’re here.”

Draken

Draken decorates the place surprisingly well, mostly because Emma once taught him, and he still remembers. He cooks something simple but warm, a quiet dinner for two. He stands behind you at the kitchen counter, arms around your waist, silently for a long moment. “…Yeah. This is good. You and me. I like this.”

Baji Keisuke

Baji is all bark at first “Christmas is lame” Yet he brings you a huge stocking stuffed with snacks, cat toys for your cats, and a wrapped box for you. You spend the night laughing, throwing popcorn, the two of you ending up sprawled on the floor with Peke J peeking out of the tree. Baji grins, leaning close: “Next year… same place. And only with you.”

Chifuyu

Chifuyu has a perfect Christmas aesthetic: cocoa, soft lights, candles, cat photos everywhere. He gives you a sweater he knitted. It’s slightly crooked. He blushes when you put it on and kiss his cheek. He makes you stay until late, curled together under blankets with Peke J sleeping on both of you.

Baji + Chifuyu (Poly)

Both boys fight over what to cook. Baji burns something, Chifuyu complains, you laugh at them. They end up teaming to spoil you: Baji pulls you into his lap; Chifuyu leans over your shoulder, offering dessert. They rival each other in affection, trying to see which one you react to more. Eventually, both end up sandwiching you between them on the couch, warm, safe, adored.

Kazutora

He decorates with golden lights. Something soft, warm, not overwhelming. He spends most of the night quietly watching you, like he still can’t believe you’re real. He gives you a bracelet he made himself. “Christmas is… kinder with you,” he whispers.

Takemichi

He tries so hard. The cake collapses. The lights flicker. The presents are wrapped with too much tape. But he beams because he got to spend it with you. He rambles about wanting future Christmases together, without tragedy for once. He's so earnest it’s impossible not to kiss him for it.

Mitsuya

The coziest Christmas of all. A warm living room, handmade decorations, his sisters giggling as they give you presents. Mitsuya drapes a soft handmade scarf over your shoulders and whispers: “I made it thinking of you.” You help him bake, decorate, and fall asleep on his shoulder under the lights.

Hakkai

Hakkai goes all out on decorations... too much, actually, but he loves it. He makes hot chocolate and talks about how grateful he is for you. He blushes intensely if you kiss his cheek.

Sanzu (Bonten)

Sanzu’s Christmas is expensive, chaotic, and slightly dangerous. He buys you an absurd amount of gifts: designer, rare liquor, jewelry... like he doesn’t know what Christmas is, but he knows he wants you spoiled. He lounges on the couch, head on your thigh, inhaling your scent with a lazy grin. “Open another one. I like your reactions.”

Ran Haitani

Ran throws a seductive, luxurious private Christmas for two: Dim lights, wine, silk sheets, lazy kisses. He calls you “baby” a little too much. He insists on slow dancing with you under fairy lights. “Consider me your Christmas present. And next year’s too.”

Rindou Haitani

Rindou pretends he doesn’t care about holidays but decorates just for you. He puts on music, makes hot chocolate, tries to act cool but melts when you sit in his lap. “You’re warm… stay like this.”

Kakucho

Quiet. Peaceful. He prepares a traditional dinner, neatly arranged. He listens to you talk for hours, smiling softly, brushing your hair out of your face. “You make even harsh winters feel gentle.”

Izana

Izana transforms Christmas into a royal event: candles, elegant dinner, perfect atmosphere. Yet the only moment he truly relaxes is when you two are alone by the fireplace. He cups your face, forehead touching yours. “…Stay. I don’t want this to end.”

Inupi

He works until late but keeps checking the clock because he knows you’re coming. He saves a small wrapped box for you. A charm, something meaningful. He leans his head on your shoulder while sharing snacks on the cold shop floor. “This place feels warmer when you’re here.”

Koko

Koko gives you a mountain of gifts. You tease him about it, and he shrugs. “It’s Christmas. And you deserve the world.” He pulls you onto his lap as he hands you the most expensive gift last. He watches your reaction carefully, wanting to see joy on your face.

Shinichiro

Shinichiro hosts a simple, heartwarming Christmas. Hot drinks, his old record player, blankets laid out on the floor. He fixes something small for you, like a music box, and hands it over proudly. He kisses your forehead gently. “You make me feel lucky.”

Akkun

A quiet dinner, warm and gentle. He decorates his entire place just to see you smile. He keeps staring at you with a soft, almost shy look. “You being here… it means a lot.”

Emma

Emma loves Christmas passionately. She drags you around decorating, dressing cute, making sweets. She gives you a little bracelet as a symbol of your bond. “Next year, let’s make it even better!”

Hinata

The warmest, most wholesome Christmas. She prepares dinner, organizes board games, and wraps gifts beautifully. She makes sure you feel cherished and cared for. “You’re family to me.”

Hanma

Hanma’s Christmas is chaotic but fun. He buys weird gifts on purpose, just to see you laugh. He drapes himself over you, long limbs everywhere. He whispers, “You’re my favorite holiday.”

Kokonoi (Bonten)

Pure luxury. Champagne, velvet, designer outfits. He sits you on the bed and places each expensive gift on your lap one by one. “You deserve to be spoiled. Don’t argue.”

Ran (Bonten)

Golden lights, sweet wine, half-buttoned shirt. He kisses your neck lazily as you open gifts. “Spoiling you is fun. Watching you get flustered is even better.”

Rindou (Bonten)

Soft Christmas, surprisingly gentle. He plays music, sets up lights, makes you sit on his lap while opening gifts. Leans his forehead on your shoulder. “…Don’t leave yet.”

Mikey (Bonten) (Platonic)

He silently decorates with black-and-silver ornaments. He gives you a rare, small smile when you bring him Christmas snacks. You sit beside him while he works, your presence calming him. “…Stay with me tonight. It’s quieter with you here.”

Souya (Angry)

He tries to bake cookies... they burn. He cries. You hug him, and he instantly calms down, with big puppy eyes looking up at you. He gives you a clumsy, handmade gift and beams when you praise it.

Nahoya (Smiley)

Party vibe. He insists on taking a thousand pictures with you. He teases you nonstop but hugs you tightly when you least expect it. “You’re the best part of my holidays!”

Yuzuha

Cozy, snowy, peaceful. She brews tea and sits with you wrapped in blankets. She gives you a thoughtful, handmade gift. “Let’s take care of each other this winter.”

A/N: I've been putting this off for a while because I wasn't sure if anyone would like this and I was nervous about posting this. This is also my first ever series I've posted here on Tumblr. I hope everyone likes this. This is the main page where everyone will find the chapters. Hope everyone enjoys reading this. You guys can also find this on Quotev. Have fun reading this and have a nice day. 😄🙏💕

Summary: When Hanagaki Takemichi is pushed onto the train tracks and time leaps 12 years into the past, he isn’t the only one who survives fate’s cruel hand. Y/N his twin sister, the one he lovingly calls N/N was pushed that same day too, and wakes in 2005 with the same impossible memories. In the present, both siblings learn the truth after meeting Naoto Tachibana: when either of them shakes his hand, Naoto becomes the trigger that sends them back to the past or returns them to the future. Realizing they share this power, Y/N makes a choice Takemichi never expected—she disappears and creates a new identity, B/N, cutting her hair short and disguising herself as Takemichi’s twin brother so she can move through the violent world ahead unnoticed. While Takemichi fights to save Hinata and rewrite the future, Y/N steps directly into the path of the Tokyo Manji Gang. Inside Toman, B/N becomes both trusted ally and dangerous mystery, gaining friends, earning enemies, and slowly catching the attention of Sano Manjiro himself. What begins as curiosity between Mikey and B/N deepens into loyalty, comfort, and something neither of them can name—at least not yet. But secrets never stay buried forever. And when the truth comes out—that B/N is really Y/N, Takemichi’s sister, and a girl hiding in the heart of Toman everything changes. Some bonds crack, some grow stronger, and Mikey is forced to face the one feeling he can’t outrun: he loves her, no matter what name she wore.

Chapter 1: Reborn.

Chapter 2: Resist.

Chapter 3: Resolve.

Look, my interpretation is this: Mikey is a vulnerable person. He wants Takemichi to control him, scold him, and keep him in check from any foolishness he might commit, just like Shinichiro used to do.

But it’s clear that, even though he compares them, he doesn’t categorize them as equals in his life or see them in the same way. He always says to take care of him, but he never specifically says to do it like a brother.

And it might sound far-fetched, but just think about it: there’s not just one scene where he says to take care of him but doesn’t specify to do it like a brother—there are TWO scenes. That’s deliberate on Wakui’s part.

He was drawing the story with a deadline, so he had to carefully plan the dialogues.

Besides, Mikey never lacked brothers. He has all of Toman, who are practically brothers, a family. And let’s not even talk about Draken, who literally acts like his babysitter. Draken also takes care of him.

So, the care he wants from Takemichi is different—it’s much deeper and more complex than it seems. Mikey sees something in Takemichi; he inspires trust in him, and Takemichi has a certain power over him to calm his dark impulses. He’s not asking Takemichi to take care of him like a kid, but to be with him because he feels Takemichi is the only one who can help him with his curse. Because Takemichi is the only person who can keep his sanity in check. That same power over him was something Shinichiro had.

It’s not that he needs a brother; he needs that comfort and security from the two people he loves.

And this becomes even more obvious in Manila. Thirteen years had passed since the Takemichi from the past “left him,” so to speak, and yet Mikey still remembered him, loved him, and needed to see him. I mean, are you telling me that someone spent thirteen years obsessed with someone just because they reminded him of his little brother, to the point of killing his childhood best friends? What did Takemichi have that the others didn’t?

Easy: Mikey wasn’t looking for Takemichi because he needed a brother. He was looking for him because Takemichi was someone who helped him feel better and provided him with warmth. That’s why, as he was losing his life and his senses were fading, he could feel warmth when he touched Takemichi’s hands.

So, those two panels don’t mean that he wants Takemichi to take care of him like a brother or that he considered him one. He mentions Shinichiro because he was his first safe haven, the only one who knew about his curse and could control him. That’s why he also tells Takemichi, so that he knows and can take care of him too. And even though he compared them at first, he never gave any indication that he saw them as equals. Shinichiro is his brother, and Takemichi is just a friend.

Mikey hates his dark impulses and desperately wants someone to protect him from his curse, just like Shinichiro did. That’s the meaning behind those two panels.

Of course, he misses Shinichiro and it hurts him. At first, Mikey approached Takemichi because he reminded him of his brother’s values and determination, but he has never seen Takemichi as a replacement for Shinichiro. He loves Takemichi simply for who he is, because he has observed him, lived through things with him, and knows him.

THE END.
