Just short drabbles of Takemichi and his partners.

Changed Hearts.

Takemichi and Souya had never seen eye to eye since the moment Takemichi joined Mikey's Gang. Their personalities clashed like oil and water, constantly sparking arguments and bitter exchanges. Souya was the hot-headed and impulsive member, always quick to anger and prone to violent outbursts. Takemichi, on the other hand, was the calm and level-headed individual, trying his best to keep the peace within the group.

Despite their differences, the two found themselves reluctantly working together on various gang missions. Their interactions were tense, filled with snide remarks and passive-aggressive comments. The tension between them was palpable, and it seemed unlikely that they would ever find common ground.

One fateful day, after a gang meeting had adjourned, Takemichi was making his way home alone. Lost in his thoughts, he spotted Souya on the sidewalk, oblivious to the speeding car hurtling towards him. Without hesitation, Takemichi sprang into action, rushing onto the road and shoving Souya out of harm's way. The screech of tires and a sickening thud filled the air as Takemichi took the full impact of the collision.

Chifuyu, who happened to be nearby at a pet store, heard the commotion and rushed to the scene. His heart sank as he saw Takemichi's bloodied body lying motionless on the road. Panic and worry consumed him, and he immediately called for an ambulance.

At the hospital, Souya and Chifuyu anxiously waited for any news about Takemichi's condition. Their previous animosity seemed insignificant now, overshadowed by the shared concern for their injured comrade. The minutes felt like hours as they sat in the sterile waiting room, silently praying for Takemichi's recovery.

Finally, a doctor emerged from the intensive care unit. Souya and Chifuyu's eyes locked onto the physician, desperately seeking answers. The doctor's sombre expression softened slightly as he delivered the news. Takemichi had survived the accident, but he had fallen into a coma. The doctor assured them that his condition was stable, but there was no way to determine when he would wake up.

The news struck them all like a thunderbolt, leaving them in a state of shock and despair. Souya, in particular, felt the weight of guilt pressing down on his shoulders. He couldn't fathom how someone he had treated so poorly had selflessly risked his life to save him. Souya vowed to himself that if Takemichi ever woke up, he would make amends and become a better person.

Days turned into weeks, and Takemichi remained in a coma, his condition stable but unchanged. Souya and Chifuyu found solace in each other's company, sharing stories and memories of Takemichi. They visited him regularly, hoping that their presence would somehow reach him and bring him back.

As time went on, the bond between Souya and Chifuyu grew stronger. They discovered common interests and shared a newfound understanding of one another. They realised that their initial animosity had been born out of misunderstandings and misconceptions.

As the days turned into weeks, Souya and Chifuyu found solace in each other's company while visiting Takemichi at the hospital. Their shared experiences and the emotional support they provided to one another gradually developed into something deeper. Two weeks after the incident, they realised that their feelings had blossomed into a romantic connection.

With each passing day, their love for Takemichi grew stronger. They couldn't deny their attraction to him, and their hearts yearned for a way to express their affection. Three weeks later, when Takemichi finally woke up from his coma, Souya and Chifuyu were there by his side, relieved and overjoyed to see him awake.

As Takemichi regained his senses, Souya couldn't contain his emotions any longer. He gathered his courage and confessed to Chifuyu that he had developed romantic feelings for Takemichi. To his surprise, Chifuyu smiled warmly and revealed a plan that had been brewing in his mind.

Chifuyu proposed the idea of a polyamorous relationship, where all three of them could be together and share their love openly and honestly. He explained that their bond was unique and that they had all experienced something life-altering together. Chifuyu believed that love shouldn't be limited or confined by traditional boundaries, and he thought that this arrangement could bring happiness to all three of them.

Souya's heart swelled with happiness and relief as Chifuyu presented his plan. Overwhelmed with emotions, Souya rushed to Takemichi's side to share the good news. With a mix of surprise and consideration, Takemichi listened to Souya's words, and after a moment of reflection, he nodded in agreement.

The three of them embarked on a journey of exploration and understanding. They navigated their newfound relationship with open communication, trust, and respect. Their love for one another blossomed and flourished, creating a beautiful dynamic that filled their lives with joy and fulfilment.

Takemichi, Souya, and Chifuyu started dating, sharing not only romantic moments but also supporting each other through the challenges that life threw their way. They built a strong foundation of love and friendship, cherishing the unique connection they had formed during the darkest period of their lives.

Their relationship became an inspiration to their friends within the gang, who witnessed the transformative power of love and acceptance. Over time, their friends embraced their relationship, realizing that love knew no boundaries and that happiness could be found in unexpected places.

As they moved forward together, Takemichi, Souya, and Chifuyu faced the world with newfound strength, knowing that they had each other to lean on. Their relationship not only brought them closer but also taught them the importance of acceptance, understanding, and the ability to redefine the norms of love and relationships.

In the end, they proved that even in the face of tragedy, love had the power to heal and create something truly beautiful. Their bond was unbreakable, and they vowed to cherish and protect their unique love story for the rest of their lives.

The accident that had once threatened to tear them apart became the catalyst that brought them together. The scars remained, both physical and emotional, but they served as a reminder of the strength they had found within themselves and the unbreakable bond they had formed through adversity.
