Dream... Dream.. You're failing.. Reality is seeping in... It's all crashing down. Your fantasies are gone.

Drip..drip..drip..drip.. All he could hear is the sound of blood dripping to the floor. The blood flowed out of his arms, from cuts that turned his fair skin a crimson red. ..I've given up, huh..? This is where I've come to. This is the pinnacle I've come to. He looked to the side at a bloody knife. Everything felt cold, and numb... Yamaguchi was sat on the floor of his bathroom, holding his wrists. The others.. He thought. He somehow found the strength to push himself up. Glancing at the time, his heart skipped a beat. 12:00am!? I must've passed out... He walked to his bed. Pulling out some peroxide he grabbed from the bathroom, he put some on a cloth, and took a breath. This was going to hurt like a bitch. Almost screaming, he held it down on his arms. The burning sensation was all he could think about. "Sh-shit-!" He grunted. He slowly removed the cloth, and wrapped his arms. "..I should try.. And sleep.." He mumbled to himself, laying down. His eyelids became heavy, as he drifted off..

(In the gym, hours later)
"Has anyone seen Yamaguchi?" Hinata asked the others. "Nope. Odd.. He's never late.." Daichi spoke. "Maybe he's running late?" Noya suggested, eating a bagel. "Maybe.." Suga muttered. Tsukki stood beside the doors, watching. Where are you? He thought. He never cared when the others were missing, but with Yamaguchi, he was always in edge. Tsukki wished he could just run there and see if Yama is okay, but thought the others would be suspicious. Getting an idea, he pulled out his phone. "Oi, where are you?" He texted Yamaguchi. Not even 2 seconds pass without him texting back. "I'm soery, I'll be thare in a few minutes." Yama texted back. Typos..? That's weird. He's always on point with his spelling... Tsukki knew something was up. He knew from the beginning. All he could do now was wait..
His footsteps were heavy... His movements were slow... And everything hurt. His stomach was practically eating itself, and he felt weaker than before. Yamaguchi hasn't eaten for 2 days.
Arriving to the gym, he greets Tsukki. "Hi..." He mumbles. Tsukki's protective instincts kicked in. Funny he even had them. "Oi. Wait." He grabbed Yamaguchi's shoulder. Yama tried moving, but was obviously too weak. "Mm..?" He turned to Tsukki. "What the hell is going on? You look awful. Pale, tired... Not to mention, I haven't seen you eat at all. Is everything okay?" The most shocking thing was the emotion in his voice. He actually cared.. "I'm okay... Really.." Yamaguchi struggled to say. "No. You're not. Come with me.." he pulled Yamaguchi around the side of the building, standing in front of him with his arms crossed. "The truth." Yamaguchi felt his heart pounding.. "Tsukki, everything's fine." "LIE." Tsukki's voice was almost threatening. Tsukki...? "I'm just.. I'm tired..." What he really wanted to say was "I'm losing my mind, Tsukki. Save me.."Yeah right. Like he'd ever say that. "Yama.." Tsukki leaned in. Yamaguchi could feel his cheeks get warm. "T-Tsukki?? What..are you.." Before he could finish, Tsukki's lips pressed against his. Wow.. So gentle..so soft... Is this a dream!?
