halloween chapter - pranks.

i'm bored. 😭

"Finally, it's Halloween season." Toshiro grinned mischievously.

"Quit smiling like that. You look stupid." Inochi punched his shoulder, making him wince in pain.

"I look stupid? You're one to talk. You looked stupid earlier today trying out a backbend which you knew you couldn't do."

"Shut up!" Inochi's face went red.

"Nah— but I look stupid? Didn't your cake blow up when you were trying to bake yesterday?"

"That was Saya's cake. I was helping her."

"You're older than her so you should mainly be in charge, isn't that right, Y/n?"

"Huh? What're you two talking about?" You stopped walking, turning to the two boys.

"Uh... nothing. Never mind."

You turned back around and continued to walk around the village.

"Tch. You're such a fucking asshole, Toshiro."

"Ouch... degrading me... it hurts so bad..."

"Shut the hell up. You're weird."

"What am I doing?! I'm being sarcastic!"

"Whatever."

"Okay! I'm sorry!" Toshiro stopped walking and so did Inochi. He wrapped his arms around the blond-haired boy.

"...Are you really sorry?"

"Huh—?"

"You hurt my feelings, you know." Inochi pushed Toshiro off of him, making him stumble.

"I didn't mean to, I was just messing around with you, l-like always." A bead of sweat fell down his face, making him disappointed that he hurt his lover's feelings.

"You should really watch your words. I know I can do a backbend."

"I'm sure you can and I'm sure you won't look stupid!"

"Really? So... do you want to see me do one now?" Inochi's eyes lit up as he moved his face closer to Toshiro.

"Y-Yes." He stifled a laugh. "I'd be ha...happy to see you do one."

"Okay!" He smiled, standing back.

Inochi bent backward, however, he couldn't reach the floor. Toshiro was trying his best not to laugh— but he soon realized there wasn't a thing to laugh at.

How did he realize this?

When Inochi's body started oddly stretching and twisting. His shirt lifted, making Toshiro able to see his skin stretch to the point where blood could be seen.

"A-Alright, Inochi! That's enough, I see you can do a backbend! Stop it!"

"I've almost got it, don't worry!"

"No— you don't have to—"

"Don't stop him. It'd hurt his feelings even more, think, Toshiro."

Inochi's face went pale as a snapping sound reverberated through Toshiro's ears. Blood dripped rapidly from Inochi's back, making Toshiro's heart drop.

Tears welled in his eyes, falling down his face. Did he just watch Inochi die like that? Over a stupid reason and a stupid joke. He shouldn't have said anything— maybe then would he have not witnessed such a traumatic sight.
