*PAST*

"Hai!" Ami said cheerfully. "I brought you dessert!" She put the delicacy on the table in Sano's house. Emma stood next to her serving drinks while Mikey and Draken sat at the table with Takemitchi.

The blond suddenly started to cry.

"Eh?" Kojima was surprised. "Takemitchy? Why are you crying?"

"Ami-chan..." He came to her in tears and hugged the shocked girl.

"Oi, Takemitchy." Manjiro interjected. "Don't forget yourself." He added indignantly.

"Sorry, Mikey-kun." Hanagaki replied still crying and hugged the leader as well.

"That's not what I meant..." Older Sano snorted.

"Our crying hero." Draken laughed. "I still don't know where you're getting this all of a sudden."

"The biggest mystery." Emma chuckled and sat down next to her friend.

Hanagaki was back in the past again, and he was greatly moved to see his friends laughing so cheerfully. That what happened to them in the future. The boy still couldn't believe it.

Was it all still Kisaki's doing? Or maybe someone else was behind it? Is Mikey really killed friends? What led to such a tragedy?

"Oi, Takemitchy." Manjiro waved his hand in front of his face. "Are you gonna eat it? If not, I'll eat for you."

"Manji!" Ami prodded her boyfriend with a chuckle.

Hanagaki smiled sadly at the sight and wiped away any tears that flowed.

"Mikey." Draken shook his head and started arguing with his friend while the girls laughed at them.

The blond looked at them with a smile behind which was a deep sadness. These are his friends who are very close to him.

The boy glanced at Ami and Manjiro. The couple were engaged but their future was ruined by sudden events and they couldn't be happy. They love each other so much... And they end up in such a tragic way.

"Ami-chan! No!" Takemitchy remembered the moment of his friend's death.

"I'm following you... Manji..." He heard a voice in his head, followed by a loud bang from the gun firing, a moment later he saw the image of a dead couple lying next to each other, hands clasped together.

"It won't happen again... I won't let it." Hanagaki said and the others looked at him.

"Eh?" They were surprised.

"What do you mean?" Draken asked, who had been pulling Mikey by the hair a moment earlier.

"If you don't want me to eat this, so you'd better hurry up." Sano said, and a moment later he continued his mini fight with Ken.

After eating together for a long time, Ami and Emma started tidying up everything while the boys continued their conversation.

"How nice." Mikey smiled and looked at the laughing Ami who was now talking to his sister in the kitchen. "If it were to stay that way... Such peace and joy." He said loudly with a hint of sadness.

"Ah, that would be nice." Draken said.

"The future's not yet drawn, is it?" Takemitchy interjected stressed. "Peace and joy..." Said. "Spending time together... Family and friends... Everything is ahead of us."

"Yeah, and also children." Ken laughed. "It wouldn't be so quiet then." Man laughed.

"You want to have children in the future, Draken-kun?" Hanagaki asked curiously.

"Who knows..." He replied thoughtfully, looking at Emma. "But it would be nice starting a family."

"Mm." Manjiro added without taking his eyes off Ami. "It would be nice."

"Listen to your future wife." Draken patted Sano on the back, laughing at the same time.

"Are you planning on proposing to Ami-chan?" Hanagaki asked, brushing back tears.

"Mm." Manjiro nodded. "She'll look beautiful in a wedding dress... I'm sure Mitsuya would make it for her." He said with a warm smile. "I want her to be happy. But Ken-chin..." He glanced at his friend. "When are you going to talk to Emma?"

"Tch, shut up." They started to struggle.

"Talk about what?" Younger Sano asked and came to them with Ami.

"Emma, ​​because you know... Ken-chin likes y..." He didn't finish as Draken covered his mouth.

"Eh, like children." The blonde shook her head.

The next day, Mikey and Annie had a date and right now the teenager was waiting for her at the appointed place, while some strange boy accosted him.

Ami was already approaching the meeting point and on the way passed the stranger who had been talking to Sano a moment earlier. His gaze was mysterious and cold.

"Are you his lady?" He asked with a forced nice smile.

"Eh?" The student was surprised, then she glanced at Manjiro, and then she looked back at the stranger. "Mm..." She nodded affirmatively.

"I see..." Man replied with a suspicious smile. "See you later then." Said and walked away leaving her in shock.

Woman blinked several times and then sat down next to Mikey.

"You know him?" She asked looking at her beloved.

"No..." Blond boy replied. "But he introduced himself as Kurokawa Izana..." Said thoughtfully.

"He's a bit weird type..." Girl said, then she looked at Sano thoughtfully and smiled innocently. She folded her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

"What's that for?" He asked amused while embracing Kojima.

"If I say it's because you're cute, you'll be just as sweetly angry..." She giggled. "Then I'll say because you're my boyfriend."

Mikey smiled and hugged the girl tightly.

"You're gonna strangle me." She laughed hugging him back.

"I love you, Ami ..." Sano said in her ear. "You're not leaving me, are you?" He asked with a hint of sadness.

Teenager moved away from the blond and then took his face in her hands.

"Never." She replied with a smile. "Just like you'll never leave me, will you?"

"Mm." He nodded. "As long as we're together, we can do anything..." He quoted her words. "I have something for you. " Said what interested her.

Sano handed her a small box which she opened after a moment.

"Ahh! Toman uniform! " She smiled widely and looked at the boy.

"You've been angry lately for giving Takemitchi my jacket." Mikey reminded, chuckling. "So I asked Mitsuya to make an uniform for you, and this jacket..." He indicated the clothes. "Belonged to me. Now it's yours." Said with a smile.

"I love you, Manji!" Ami kissed him on the cheek and then threw herself on the blonde's neck, hugging him tightly.

When she moved away from him after a long moment, Manjiro took her face in his hands and placed a warm kiss on her lips.

"You know what I'm most sure of?" He stroked her cheeks.

"Hm? What?" She asked curiously, playing with his hair.

"That..." Sano began smiling. "In the past, in the present, and in any distant future... I'll always love you." He added, which caused teenagers to blush.

"Mm..." Kojima nodded, blushing. "So do I... I'll always love you... Boss." She giggled and joined their lips together again.

After spending time together, the couple went to Sano's house, where Emma was present.

"Ami-chan! Ami-chan!" She waved to her friend so she walked over to her while Mikey lay down on the couch.

"New lipstick?" Kojima looked.

"Mm." She nodded. "It's great." She smeared her friend's lips. "Hmm..." Blonde wondered. "I wonder if it fits on..."

"Ken-chin is coming today, Emma, ​​so if you want..." He trailed off as he saw the girls standing over him. "Eh ... Why are you looking at me like that?" He glanced back and forth. "Should I be scared?"

"No..." Annie chuckled and sat Sano on his stomach to which the other grunted softly. "You're not afraid of anything."

"You with lipstick in hand? Yes, I have some concerns." Said looking at his girlfriend and sister.

"Oh, come on..." Emma nudged her brother. "It's just lipstick."

"How is that different?" He asked what the girls laughed at. "Eh, I don't believe you. Nothing of that."

Friends exchanged meaningful glances.

Ami lay down on Manjiro and hugged him.

"Manji..." She looked into his eyes making a cute face at the same time. "If you agree... I'll bake you strawberry dorayaki."

"Blackmail." Older Sano snorted.

"I'll add a kiss to that." She giggled. "Even two."

Mikey sighed heavily and then sat down, embracing Ami with his free hand and glancing at his sister.

"Fine..." He replied, which pleased the teenagers.

Emma picked up the phone while Kojima painted the blonde's lips with lipstick.

"Oi, Emma." Mikey looked at his sister. "What's the phone for?"

"For the photo as a souvenir." She replied as if it were obvious.

After Ami finished painting him, the two girls sat on either side of Sano and kissed him on the cheek while Emma took the picture.

Moments later, Draken came home.

"Ken-chin!" Sano called and took the lipstick from the girls. "Come here, I have to show you something." He said what the teenagers started to laugh at.

"Why are they laughing?" Ken asked confused, and glanced at the others, then back to Mikey approaching him.

"You'll see in a moment." Manjiro said.

"Oh no." Draken shook his head.

"Oh yes." Manjiro laughed and lunged at his friend.

"Don't even think about it, Mikey!"

"Draken-kun..." The girls approached the boys. "Even Mikey agreed." She giggled looking at the painted leader.

Emma looked pointedly at Ken, who only sighed.

"Please..." All three puppies were made eyes.

"Just this time." The tall blond replied.

"Yey!" The other three gave themselves a high five, the younger Sano came up to the boy, who had to bend down for the girl to reach him. Moments later, the deputy leader also ended up with lipstick-coated lips. There were also more souvenir photos.

While Emma was showing Draken the photos, Mikey walked over to his beloved and whispered in her ear.

"Where's my prize?" He asked, leaning towards her.

"Eh? Ah yes, I'll bake them later." She replied patting him on the chest and the blond moved her closer to him.

"I'm not talking about this award." He smiled.

"Oh..." She smiled. "What? Now?"

"And why not?"

Ami blushed slightly, then glanced at her friends engrossed in conversation, then looked at Manjiro again.

The girl approached the leader with a smile and then stole a kiss from him and wanted to move away, but Sano didn't let her.

"Another one." He said with a smile, embracing the fair-haired girl and joining their lips again, this time in a slightly longer kiss.

"Ha! Gotcha!" Emma exclaimed happily, waving the phone with a photo of the couple kissing.

"Run." Draken laughed, so the little sister started to run and the others rushed right after her.

Annie stayed at Sano's house for the night, but the girl couldn't sleep and looked at the blond lying next to her.

"Manji..." She prodded him. "I can't sleep." Said, but he didn't answer. "Manji..."

"But I can." He replied and sighed.

"Are you still angry that I forgot to add flags to your food earlier?" She asked, remembering the incident, but received no answer, boy fell asleep again a moment later. "Ugh, Manji..." She looked at him. "I can't sleep, hug me... Hug me!" She prodded him but he was still asleep.

Ami sighed and then moved closer to the leader, picked up his large T-shirt and went under it, hugging the boy.

Sano woke up in the morning surprised to see Ami hugging him under his T-shirt.

"Huh? Ami, how did you get under my shirt?" He asked surprised, but the teenager was asleep and didn't answer. "What's this new kind of sleeping?" man looked at Annie innocently nestled against him like a child. A smile crossed his face. "You're so cute." Said, amused, then he embraced his beloved, hugged and kissed her forehead. "How can I be still angry when you do something like that." He chuckled and cuddled up to the sleeping girl.
