🚨SUICIDE/BPD SPLITTING 🚨


Nathaniel was upset. He was mad. But no one knew why. He kept snapping at everyone. At Marc. He's never snapped at Marc before because he knew the raven haired boy doesn't cope well with that sort of verbal approach as it could send him into an attack.

"Just Leave!" Nate screamed, tears trailing down his red, flushed cheeks. "I Dont Wanna See You Anymore!"

Marc was taken aback. Was Nate breaking up with him...? Tears pricked in his shamrock green eyes as he stepped back and went to Marinette's side.

"Wha-what are you d-doing?!" Nate fretted, demeanor changing almost immediately. "D-Dont leave! please dont leave me!" Nate fell to his knees as he cried harder.

Everyone was even more confused. First Nate was angry and pushing people away and now, after he pushed Marc away, he wanted him back. Kim seemed to be thinking, Xuppu mimicking his thinking face. Nate's kwami, Ziggy, was hovering next to her partner's boyfriend, watching with concern. Kim suddenly snapped his fingers before dropping to Nathaniel's side.

"It's OK, Man...!" Kim reassured. "Marc's not gonna leave."

"What's going on Kim?" Rose questioned, hands clasped above her chest.

"He's splitting. He doesn't know which feelings to express, nor what side to show, so two different sides are taking hold at once-"

"Get Away From Me!" Nathaniel then pushed Kim, causing the latter, whom was crouched down, to fall to his ass.

"Nate...?" Ziggy began, flying closer. Bad idea.

"FUCK OFF!" the latter threw out his hand and slapped Ziggy into the nearby table with a thump.

"Ziggy!" Marinette exclaimed. Nate came back to his senses and scrambled over to his kwami; holding the small creature in his hands.

"Im so sorry, Zigs...!" Nathan began to cry once more. "Please dont be to hurt...! I didnt mean to!"

"I'm OK, Nathaniel!" the little goat beamed. "Just a little shaken up..!"

"God! Im such a fucking Idiot!" Nate let the kwami go and seemed to start panicking again.

Suddenly, Pigella moved into view, signialling the fact that Rose had transformed.

"Gift...!" Pigella's power emerged and Nathaniel looked at the gift box with red eyes. His face lit up and Rose could see what he wanted most of all. "He just wants one day where he can be happy an not have to deal with his BPD or hurting anyone..."

"That's sad..." Sabirna piped up, voice soft and upset. Suddenly, Nathaniel hit the floor, from his sitting position, causing Kim to scramble up and hold the boy's limp frame in his arms. "Is he OK?!" she fretted, feeling even more concerned for her classmate's safety.

"He's just passed out." Chloé replied quietly. Since being entrusted, oncr more, being allowed to keep her miraculous and everything that has happened with Nathaniel, she's become even more nicer to everyone.

"Lets take him to the nurse's office." Max suggested.

Kim nodded and stood up with Nathan still in his arms. Xuppu followed his partner with Ziggy following behind. Max followed with Markov while Kaalki sat on the robot's head.

Nathaniel sat in the corner of his room, legs pulled to his chest and completely numb. Ziggy sat on the bedknob and watched with concern but ready to jump into action if needed.

"Are you alright, Nathaniel?" Ziggy questioned with concern.

"..." the latter began, completely ignoring the little goat's question. "I can't do this anymore "

"please dont think like that, Nathan!" Ziggy exclaimed. Knowing that this was coming, Ziggy tried to reach for Nathaniel's phone but it was too late.

"Ziggy, Bleat It."

Nathaniel was immediately transformed into his hero persona; One he hasnt been mentally stable to become since being given the miraculous permanently. Jumping out his window, he headed ro the Eiffel Tower. Stnading on the platform that was built for tourists to vistit and take the perfect souvenir photo, Nathaniel gave the commands to detransform. He took off the hair clips and placed them down on the ground. He then began to scribble a small note in his sketchbook, the one he never leaves the house without, next to the class photo hebhad tapped in on the very first page.

"Nathaniel...?"

"I've had fun, Ziggy. I really have. But you deserve someone better than me."

Ziggy flew to the boy's face and began to cry.

"Don't go...!" she cried. "You're the best holder i have ever had...!"

"Return to Marinette my little friend..."

Nathaniel climbed over the balcony of the tower and, with one last, painful smile, he slowly let go of the railings.

"I love you Ziggy... and tell the others, too."

Nathaniel let go.

The rush of the wind tussled his hair. Tears flew from his eyes. Taking one last look, to see Ziggy use her powers without a holder, he closed his eyes and his life played behind his closed eyes lids; the times he had with his friends, the picnics, the hang outs. The comic book collaboration with Marc. The fact he managed to fall in love and that Marc would never leave him.

One by one, everyone he had ever held close to his heart flashed before his eyes;

Rose and her ash blonde hair and big, bluebell eyes...

Juleka and her quiet demeanor; eyes shielded by her black hair with her iconic purple fringe she's had since 4th grade...

Alix with their outgoing, sometimes annoying attitude, but they always meant well regardless...

Myléne, the one whom cared about everyone and always thought for both sides in an argument...

Kim, the block-head whom had resulted in stealing Nate's cousin...

Max and Markov. Always with the statistical outlook on situations...

Sabrina, a sweet loving girl.

Chloé. She managed to change. A sign that everyone could...

Ivan; looks tough but is a literal Teddy Bear...

Marinette, clumsy, was stalkerish, but means well...

Alya. She was the one that always lived for her passion...

Nino. An awesome guy who would go so far...

Adrien... Sweet, innocent Adrien. Sometimes confused but everyone loves him...

Luka. They may not have had much interactions beforehand but since the whole superhero thing, and that he's dating Adrien, he was a nice guy...

Kagami... Speaks her mind and can be blunt at times, but managed to come outta her shell and allow Marinette to be her true self...

Ondine... The best cousin ever...

Aunt Caline... A great teacher but even greater Aunt...

Nicolas... He's been the father figure Nate has always needed...

His mother... Oh how she would be broken... She's already been through so much...

Marc... The only person that loved Nathaniel for who he truly is. No questions asked...

Allowing their faces to be the last ones he saw, he finally felt relaxed and at peace in his mind. No voice no nothing.

And that was just how he wanted it as his body collided with the concrete beneath him...
