Nico's P.O.V
He was my best friend. And now I'll never see him again. Will Solace. I've had a crush on him for so many years.
But now... I'm a ghoul. A monster. I walk around as if human and I'm not. Not in the least. I will never be human again. I will miss Will so so much. But that's the price I have to pay to keep him safe. Safe from me... And safe from others.
So as I walk back to the coffee shop I keep my hood up. Will lives just a few blocks south of here. So as I pass the ally way, I try to ignore the screaming coming from the dark place. But I can't. So I run down the ally. The light flickers above. The smell of blood rushes to my nose and I feel like fainting. I cannot do this right now.
Then I see the other ghoul. Standing over a human. But I recognize that human and I know I can't let the ghoul eat it.
I lurch forward. The ghoul laughs. It's ten times quicker, but I'm smarter.
And the next thing I know is I'm covered in its blood. I don't even remember it happening. The human is making me dizzy. But I can't leave it here. I can't do that because it was my best friend. And now that friend is laying on the ground, half dead from blood loss. So I carry him in my arms back to the coffee shop. I feel like I'm about to black out. So I don't stick around.
I drink the coffee In my cup, as it is the only human food I'm able to eat without it tasting horrible. Should I have brought him here? Was that a mistake? Because now he's most likely to find out what I really am. Reyna, the girl who I became friends with, because she's a ghoul too. But sometimes we don't get along.
"You shouldn't have brought him here." She says crossing her arms. Her dark brown hair falls past her shoulders, right to the waistline of her pants.
"I couldn't let my best friend die! That... That ghoul. He was going to eat Will." I yell at her.
"I know you have a crush on him. But he doesn't like you back. And if it comes down to it, I'll kill him." She says plainly.
"I swear I'll kill you if you do. Don't mess with me Reyna. You know what happens to people who do." I say and walk to where we put Will.
His back turned to the door. I sit in the chair next to the bed.
"Hey did you have to go?" Will asks me and I jump.
"I can't tell you that Will." I reply to him.
"I've been your best friend, almost your only friend since first grade. And now you wanna pull shit?" He turns over to look at me. "Where the hell am I? What happened?" He asks.
"You were mugged and you got beat up pretty bad. So I brought you here where I know your safe." Shit shouldn't have said that.
"Safe.....from muggers. Your so full of shit Nico. For awhile I thought you were dead! And then you stroll right into my life and act like this. You know what! I'm gonna start calling you death boy! Yeah because that's what you had me believing." He turns back over.
"I skipped town and stayed away from you to keep you safe! You don't understand."
"SAFE FROM WHAT?!?" He screams at me. He sits up in the bed.
"Safe from me." I whisper and walk out of the room. Then he bursts out and grabs my shoulders. I'm pretty sure it was for support.
"Well I don't want to be safe from you! I would rather..." I shove him back into the room. I shove him down on the bed. I get in his face.
"I'm a ghoul Will! Reyna and Chiron upstairs making coffee are ghouls! What now William? You should really run away. Because you're going to get hurt." I yell at him. I try my best to sound scary but my voice is just gravely. He looks at me. Then without warning he wraps his arms around my torso. He presses his head to my stomach.
"I don't care Nico I don't care. You won't let me get hurt. I know you won't. If you were hiding that, you saved me in the ally, you won't let it happen." He tells me. I bend down in his arms.
"Wi..." I start but he cuts me off. He kisses me. I kiss him right back. He hands move to his face. And we stay like that for God knows how long.
But all of this is just a memory replaying in my head. As I stand at Will Solace's funeral. And if only I had taken him to a hospital. Six weeks later he wouldn't be six feet in the ground. With only me and that ghoul to blame.
So if you haven't watched the anime, it's called Tokyo Ghoul. I haven't finished the whole thing yet so I'm sorry if there was missing or incorrect stuff.
Peace out my friends!!
