Stay With Me (Shinkami) - Book 1

Epilogue

Hey guys, I listened to this song while writing this, so if you want to listen to it, ill let you know when you play it!!!

~~~Denki's POV~~~

It's dark. So dark...and its so cold. so bitterly cold. 

Dark. Cold. Numb. That's how I'd describe this moment. I'm dead. I figured this out after appearing in the dark, cold, empty void filled with silence and anguish. 

I'm all alone. There's no one hear except for me and my thoughts. My clothes are gone, replaced with this sheer white white fabric that looks like a robe, but its not. I don't feel the fabric touching my skin, even though it is. I just feel...cold. I feel the cold biting at my skin that's covered with this fabric, but the fabric might as well not be there. 

I can't even feel my own finger's grasp at my arms, as I curl myself into a ball, in a feeble attempt to keep warm. I'm all alone, floating in this dark empty space.

This is what death is like. it's cold, and dark and empty. I feel like I'm floating, or...flying, maybe? Death is a sad thing. There is no heaven or hell. You don't see other people who have died. It's just you.. alone.

(Ok, if you want to listen, play the song now!)

Wait.. Someone else is here. It's....me? and Shinsou? but... Shinsou didn't die... did he? I just remember him holding me in his arms as I bleed out. 

I un-curl my body, and move closer to where Shinsou and other me were. As I get closer, a room materializes around us.

~

"ahh-! Shinsou, stop! I can't breathe!" Other me laughed, as Shinsou held him down, tickling him.

"Say it! Say it, and I'll stop!"

"never!" Other me laughed harder, wheezing as Shinsou continued to tickle him.

~

Wait... is this... a memory? The room disappears, other me and Shinsou going with it. 

I reach my hand out to Shinsou, opening my mouth to shout for them to stop, but I can't speak. I place my hand on my throat, tears building and falling down my face, before each single tear drop floats away from me, as if there was no gravity here.

Another room appears, this time with all of Bakusquad and Shinsou.

~

"Come on, come on come on- Yes! I win Bakugo, Pay up!" Sero grins as he sets his controller down.

Bakugo growled. "you cheated!" but he pulled his wallet out anyway, and handed Sero 2,529 yen. 

"Ok, mine and Denki's turn!" Mina grinned, taking Sero's controller from him, as Bakugo handed me his. 

~

Tears continue to fall down my face before dripping and floating away, as the room vanishes another appearing.
