Rooftops (Hetalia PruCan fanfic)

Chapter 1

This randomly popped into my head while I was listening to music. I forget what I was listening to, but I liked the idea! Sorry if it sucks.

And yes, I am aware that there are too many PruCan fics where one of them is suicidal or angsty or whatever. I just wanted to make one with a good story, I guess.

I think this one will have a happy ending in the end.

Warning for this chapter: Attempted Suicide.

Also, I don't own Hetalia.

 My feet led me to that door. I calmly grabbed hold and turned the handle. There wasn't much in the room, it was small. There was only a small radio, cleaning supplies, and another door at the back. I walked up to the other door, doing the same procedure.

 I made sure to leave all of my stuff in my locker before doing all of this. All of that stuff was just going to weigh me down quicker. I slowly and calmly walked up the steps. Each step I took, my heart raced faster and I could hear the pounding in my head. I actually couldn't believe I was doing this, but everything I had done, led up to it. This very moment. I didn't understand how my body could be so calm, when my heart felt like it was pounding against my ribcage.

 Another door. I opened that as well, squinting my eyes at the sunlight. It was a warm spring day, in the middle of April. I stepped out, and walked to the end of the roof. Everything looked so nice, peaceful almost. I gave a sad smile.

 Before doing anything else, I pushed my sleeve up and glanced at my wristwatch. It read 4:30. It was at least an hour after school, so nobody would be here. I had my brother convinced that I was at art club, which didn't actually exist as much as I'd like it to.

 I looked out at the horizon. The sky was blue, with a barely noticeable orange tint to it. Trees were just gaining their leaves back, and the grass was back to a normal, healthy colour.

 I let out a deep breath, one that I hadn't realized I was holding. A gentle wind blew by, breezing my chin-length blond hair within the wind. My heart was really pounding by now, more than it was before. Pounding and racing fast, the noise almost making my head hurt. I stepped up onto the ledge, and let out a shaky breath.

 'Just don't look down. It'll be like flying, don't worry! Maybe if you're lucky, nothing will hurt. This is what you wanted, isn't it?'

 That fucking voice at the back of my head.. It sounded almost like my own voice, but darker.

 I close my eyes tight, and that's when I hear someone.

 "Don't you fucking dare jump."

-Gilbert POV-

 That kid who sits in front of me in my math class had been acting a little off today. Sure, I pick on him sometimes, just because his reactions are funny, but I was a bit worried today. Matthew was ignoring my poking, so I kinda wondered. Usually, he'd react or something, but he didn't even budge! He'd also answer one or two questions the teacher asked, but he never even rose his hand. Hell, he never took his eyes off of his paper!

 I had a long detention after school since I was late after lunch for the third time in a row. Psh, not my fault my awesome hangout spot and the science hall were so far away from each other. Stupid rules.
