Shinsou P.O.V 


I wake up in a cold sweat, the usual for me at this time. I check my phone for the time. 2:29 am. Damn. I sit up and grab the now cold coffee that was sitting on my bedside table and walk out to my balcony and look out over the glimmering city lights. My hair swayed lightly in the early morning breeze and I felt like I could fly in that moment. The gentle hum-buzz of a city alive lured me into getting dressed into black, ripped skinny jeans, an over-sized hoodie grabbing my phone and leaving my dorm. The full force of the early morning cold hit me like a train as soon as I stepped outside of the dorm. 

I head towards the place I go at this time in the morning. A hill in a park next to Yuuei. I hug myself in a vague effort to keep myself warm until i can retrieve the jacket I stored in a hollow tree for cold mornings like this. I sit down in my usual spot, leaning against a small tree, and turn my head to the stars. I look at the stars until my eyes burn from not blinking and then close my eyes and hum a tune to a song I'd been working on recently. I tap along to the rhythm and let my thoughts become lyrics. I've found it's easier to write songs if you tell how you are and not how you want to be or how someone else is. I open my mouth to start singing when I realize the sun is rising. I check the time on my phone. It's already 7:30, and I need to get back to the dorms to get ready for yet another day at school. I stand up, look around one last time and set off back to my dorm. 

When I step inside the door I'm greeted by Iida yelling at me again for leaving the dorm, I ignore him, as usual, and head straight to my room to get changed into my school uniform. As I get changed I turn on the radio. 

Announcer -"We have a new song today by an unknown musician, all we currently know is that they go to yuuei high school... Here is 'Sink with you' 

    Sometimes i feel like i want to dissapear

leave my body and fly so far away                                                      

   to somewhere where nothing is everywhere                                                                             

  and stay there 'till i die                                          

 How 'bout you?

  where d'ya wanna go?                                                                                

stay here and drown                                                                               

 or fly away with me                                                                            

      I want you to stay                                                                             

   I want you to drown                                                                             

    but come with me                                                                           

      i wont let us sink 


As the song continues I zone out and let the sweet, yet melancholy melody flood my body. And I realize, in that instant that whoever from yuuei wrote that song, was the person i truely needed in my life.
