Hearts and Wine (A Heartful Lou x Kagekao Fanfic)

I Never Meant To

Lou stood in front of the door beside Jeff's room. He knocked lightly. No one answered for a while. "Heh, I smell fear." he knocked louder. "Sorry, sorry!" he heard from the other side. His voice, it sounded the same, it was him. Lou smiled warmly. The shorter boy opened the door little, his adorable mask peaking through. "................" "....................." "..................." "Kao........" "...............w-who are you?" "Awwww, you don't remember me?" "No.... you is not Lou....." "And what makes you say that?" ".....Lou is gone......." "But I'm right here." ".................." Kagekao had so many mixed emotions. "Prank?" "Nope. Oh come on, I came over just to see you!" he reached out for his mask, wanting to take it off. "........" Lou didn't hesitate. He took it off, the same look he always had... "........... Lou.....L-LOU!!!!!!!" He hugged him tight. "I thought you were dead or something bad happened!!!!" Lou hugged back. "No, I'm still alive, fortunately... look.... I'm so sorry....." "For what?" "F-For everything!! You wouldn't be stuck here if it wasn't for me....." "B-But I get to see you again! T-That's all I wanted!" "I-I mean... I-I...." he chocked on his words. "I murdered Matt, Derek and Samantha....... t-to be honest.... I-I... was going to murder you, too...." ".....................w-why............?" "I..............I was going to murder everybody.......... a-and..... I........ I-I........... can't believe it........... I-I would rather kill myself than kill you....." ".............." Kao started to tremble again.

"I was going to...." "N-No, d-don't k-kill youse-self!" he sobbed silently. "I'm sorry...... I-I really am, Kagekao....." he hugged him tighter. "I never meant for any of this to happen..... I never meant to change you..... I never meant for any of us to die........" "W-Why did you do it, though......?" "I..........I don't know..... I-I..... couldn't take it.........."
