What is a heroic act?

A heroic act is something you do for the sake of others!

So...

I'll do that today.

He couldn't take it anymore. Several missed calls, everyone apologizing, wanting to know that he was okay. He didn't want their sympathy. Their pity. He wanted them to be angry, to take their anger out. If they took their anger out on him, the could be happy the rest of the day, and their happiness was all he wanted. It took a number out on him, but it didn't matter.

If I'm not there anymore..they won't worry. They won't get angry over my jokes, Mattie won't get mistaken for me..

Then, it hit him.

You're the reason everyone is angry.

If I were gone..they would be happy. So..

He had written it all down on paper, left it on his desk. They would find it soon. He would be gone by then, though.

It wasn't raining, it was pouring. He let his hand out, feeling the water as it fell from the sky. Tears ran down his face, and for a moment, he winced. Then, he stepped forward. He was going to die alone, just like he was born alone, in that small field.

Arthur was there!

Not at the begining, he wasn't.

Even so, I was a burden from the start..

"I won't burden anyone any longer.." He smiled, his eyes filled with sorrow. He hadn't been wearing his jacket, or his glasses. He left the glasses to Mattie, the jacket to Arthur, the mochi to Ivan, and Amerikit to Kiku. Even if they made fun of him, he still loved them, and if they ever needed something to complain to, he left those there for thay reason.

One more step...

"Good bye."

"Alfred!!" Ivan called into the room, "If you do not come out, I will brag about how much I went to the moon first~!"

"Come out, you git! Arthur barked. It was all out of worry, though. He was hidding the sadness, the guilt.

"Bro...come on, bro..!" Please...Matthew added that in his head.

"Mr.Alfred...?" Kiku looked down, tears in his eyes, "Ame-kun...please.."

A sob was heard, and everyone spun around. "Alfred, there you are, you asshole!" Arthur barked, only to get anger spart out in his face.

"I'm not Al! I'm Matthew, you jackass!" He fell on the floor, holding a pair of glasses, and crying into a piece of paper.

Ivan took the paper, and read it aloud.

"Oh my God...Al!!"

Mattew was out the door in a heart beat, the others following him.

But it was too late.

Mattew collapsed infront of the corpse, before seeing...

"He's still breathing! Call an ambulance!"
