Infection ~~ Chinchikurin (CONTENT WARNINGS IN DESCRIPTION)

Moonlight ~~ 16

  The house was quiet as everyone finally fell asleep...

  Everyone except Seito.

Seito sat at the window, gazing at the sky as he was unable to sleep. His thoughts wandered as he looked at the street outside, not a single villager in sight.

  "Everyone around me... they're all dying... I mean who knows? Any one of us could be next.."

  That's when he had the idea... something he had thought about in the past. He quickly turned around to face everyone, the room only being illuminated by the moonlight shining through the window. There it was, Haruma's shotgun, laying next to him while he slept. Seito slowly got up and quietly tip toed over to Haruma. He carefully picked up the gun as well as a few bullets. After obtaining the gun, he slowly moved over to the door. There he stopped and hesitated for a moment, turning to look back at his friends, all peacefully sleeping.

"I have to do this... I'm sorry." He whispered quietly before turning back around and running out the front door, not even noticing how the door bounced back open after closing it. Seito just ran, not stopping until he reached his house. Upon arriving, he ran inside, the door already open. There he saw his grandmother's body lying on the floor.. her head bleeding and a table leg impaling her stomach. Seito only stared at her blankly for a moment before stepping over her corpse and running into his room. Seito slammed the door shut before sitting down on his bed and beginning to scream.

"WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP DYING?" He cried. There he let out all his emotions, everything he had been bottling up. He sobbed loudly as he loaded the bullets into the gun.

"I don't wanna see anyone else die... I can't see anyone else die..."

The other's remained asleep back at Hanabishi's house... that is until Boron cracked his eyes open. He glanced over at the door, confused as to why it was open. He looked around the room some more until he realized something was missing.

"Where the hell is Seito.." He spoke louder than he wanted to as he quickly at up. Toru quickly sat up too, being the only one to hear Boron speak.

"Boron... what?" He whispered.

"It's Seito.. he's not here."

"Is he somewhere else in the house..?" Toru asked, still half asleep.

"The door.. it's open. Something's wrong. I can feel it. I'm going to look for him." Boron promptly got up and ran out the door without hesitation.

"Boron, wait! It might not be safe-" Toru started, but Boron was already running down the street.

  Boron was aware of Seito's past suicidal thoughts, he feared the worst as he ran straight to Seito's house.

Seito still sat on his bed, holding the shotgun to his head. Tears streamed down his face as he stared at the wall, readying himself to fire the shot. As he placed his finger on the trigger, the door to his room quickly swung open. There stood Boron, staring down at Seito holding a gun to his own head.

"Seito... Seito what're you-"

Boron couldn't find words to say as he stared...

"Boron..." Seito muttered through his tears.

Boron's expression suddenly changed from shocked to angry.

"Give me that gun. You aren't doing this to yourself."

"Boron just-"

"I SAID GIVE ME THE GUN!" Boron yelled, grabbing the barrel and pointing it away from Seito. The two both struggled to take the gun away from the other.

"BORON BE CAREFUL! IT'S LOAD-"

*BANG*

Seito jumped back in shock, dropping the gun, watching as the barrel slipped out of Boron's hands. Boron tried to speak, but only strained breaths came through. Seito stared at the bullet wound in Boron's chest. Boron looked at Seito one last time, a shocked and sad expression on his face, before crumbling to the ground.

"BORON?" Seito yelled. He jumped off of the bed and knelt down to Boron.

"BORON I'M SORRY... THIS IS MY FAULT I'M SORRY..." He shouted, holding up Boron in his arms.

"Seito!? Boron!? You in here!?" Another voice called. Toru quickly ran into the doorway.

"Holy shit..." He stopped in his place, looking down at the scene.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, it was an accident..." Seito cried.

"How did this-" Toru started.

"He wasn't supposed to die... it was supposed to be me..."

Toru slowly started putting the pieces together, understanding the situation. Toru held his hand out for Seito, helping him up. He then picked the gun off the floor before leaving the room, Seito crying into his shoulder.

"Toru? Seito? You're alright! Where's Boron..?" Keita greeted the two along with the others outside the house. Toru and Seito just stood in silence upon being asked where Boron was.

"Fuck.. BORON NO.." Hanabishi screamed, "NO! NO! NO! NOT BORON TOO..." He refused to believe it.

"He's... gone?" Keita muttered. Mariha looked down at her feet, "He's gone too..."

Toru quickly handed Haruma's shotgun back to him. Haruma looked down at the gun, certain that it had just been used to kill Boron.

"I think we should just go home..." Toru sighed.
