Sarcasm [ A SARUMI FANFICTION ]

Despair - Chapter 1

It was a very cold and wet night.

The thunder was roaring and the rain was pelting down relentlessly. Mother nature sure wanted to show off her incredible power tonight.

If there was any word Misaki would use to describe the current weather, it would be, miserable.

Misaki had burried himself under countless layers of blankets to keep himself warm in his small, cheap and un-heated appartment.

Misaki wasn't sure what it was but for some reason, he was really down. Perhaps it was the gloomy weather or perhaps it was the decrease in HOMRA's members.

Well, whatever the reason. Misaki felt downright depressed.

He was lying down on the sofa staring at the bunk-bed across the room. It may be strange for someone who lives alone to own a bunk-bed but this appartment never used to be this lonely.

Misaki's best friend. Well, ex-best friend used to call this appartment home too until he left HOMRA. The only reason why Misaki never got a new bed was because he just didn't have the money.

Sometimes at night Misaki stares at the top bunk from the bottom bed and just tries to imagine that Saruhiko was still up there, sleeping.

Although, Misaki knew that was all his ideal illusion.

Misaki let out a small sigh and buried himself deeper into his castle of blankets.

Even to this day Misaki still doesn't understand why Saruhiko betrayed HOMRA but the thing that he really didn't understand was why Saruhiko left him.

They both dreamed of a world where it was just the two of them, nobody else. So why? Why was Misaki just left with a world without his best friend.

These kind of thoughts for Misaki weren't uncommon. However, he always did his best to hide these emotions from anyone at HOMRA, he didn't want to seem vulnerable.

Even though he would never admit it, a part of him still sees Saruhiko as his best friend. He just doesn't have the strength to let go of his best friend.

And everytime Saruhiko taunts him by using his first name, it saddens him slightly. Because Saruhiko was the first individual who he didn't mind calling him by his first name.

He knew thinking about such things was extremely pointless. But he couldn't help it, because everyone close to him seems to be disappearing and it feels as if Saruhiko is the only one left in a way.
The thought of Saruhiko actually dying and disappearing for real made him freeze up and made his chest hurt.

He could never possibly stand losing his 'best friend'. That thought scared him more than anything right now. Especially with all the nonsense going around with JUNGLE, it made Misaki's anxeity rise slightly.

Ever since the death of Totsuka soon followed by Mikoto, Misaki has grown gradually depressed.

And of course, where there's depression; anxiety soon follows.

Misaki gave another frustrated sigh as he ran a hand through his hair as his gaze shifted over to his bedside table.

On the table was a simple cheap lamp he brought at some second-hand store and next to it lay the Saruhiko doll Totsuka made for him. He wasn't sure why he still had it, after all it wasn't even supposed to be his. But after the last encounter with Saruhiko, trying to hand it back to him; Misaki had given up and kept the doll.

Saruhiko also had a doll of him but Misaki assumed Saruhiko surely would have tossed it away.

Misaki clicked his tongue in annoyance.

He seems to be thinking a lot about Saru tonight, perhaps he needed a drink of water.

Misaki stood up to fetch himself a glass of water, tossing the blankets aside. However, before he could take another step, he heard a loud thud against the front door.
