"I love you"
Arisu said to his friend without much thought below him with a cheerful smile adorned on his face.They were currently cuddling under the sunset laying on surprisedly green grass.Said friend only softening his glaze at the smiling boy when he realized the meaning behind those words,slowing wrapping his arms around Arisu's waist tightly,taking in his sweet scent as he looked up at the beautiful sunset before him.The slight spring breeze only lefting his mood up even more than Arisu already had,but that happiness wouldn't last long,like usual.
Especially since they still had to complete another game in order to live in this horrid world,Karube feeling his light smile fall at the thought of the life threatening games. Who knows what that sick game master had in store for them next,Karube could only hope that he and Arisu would be able to make it out it thought.
Karube already had some feelings for Arisu even before this event had hit them,he may have had a fiancé but Arisu still sneaked himself into his heart somehow without the owner realizing until the day he got fired.It may be crazy but that day instead of feeling horrible felt amazing because he was with Arisu..oh and Chota of course. But there was something about Arisu that just dragged Karube deeper and deeper into his abyss like eyes, maybe it was his weird way of expressing himself which just made him even more enticing in Karube's eyes.
Sadly,
Him and Arisu haven't really become a thing yet or put a label on what they are yet.They act like a couple but don't touch or love each other like one, Karube likes to think it's just because Arisu is a boring virgin who doesn't know how to flirt but why isn't he doing the flirting instead then?Karube asks himself every night wondering what to do to move their relationship to the next level.
Arisu's POV:
Wh-Why didn't we enjoy our short time together more-why?We could have spent more time hugging and enjoying each others presences but instead we spent it worrying about a stupid game.Now all I can do is regret everything we didn't do.I miss him more than I will ever miss someone again.Karube was special to me and I took him for granted.He died without knowing the answer to the question he asked me so long ago.
"Hey,what are we Arisu?"
His voice replayed in my head over and over again like a broken record.I wish I had the courage to say what we were back then but I was too scared of rejection and of his reaction in general.I'm so pitiful,how did he fall in love with someone like me anyways,I'm a coward and useless.., I wish we could swap places.
He should have lived instead he actually had a purpose while I didn't.I was just living to live,Karube had someone to wait for him and live for, I didn't.The only thing to look forward to in my life was him but now he's gone..
Everyone including the man I was so deeply inlove with died leaving me alone..again.
Third POV:
Arisu yelled out a horrific scream as he saw Karube's head blown up spattering everything around them,including Arisu himself.Arisu felt as if he lost a part of himself seeing Karube's body laying lifeless on the cold concrete floor.The brutally mangled body sat heavy on his blood-stained lap as Arisu cradled Karube's now disfigured face bawling his already tear-stained eyes out at the sight.With shaky hands Arisu brings his chest close to Karube's and presses them together tenderly.With a shaking voice he tells Karube the last phrase he only wished he could have told him before he died he finally tells him
"I love you"
Bonus 😱:
The whispered words didn't go unheard to the boy who looked down at Arisu from his spot.Feeling guilty for making his beloved cry and despair so much over him,but at least he got to see Arisu smile before he left this god forsaken world,he was relieved to know that his friend still cared for him deeply just as much as he did.
In other words,bro got friend zoned and died💀
Authors Note:
God damn only 704 words is crazy,I put my blood, sweat and tears into making this shit.
