BoBoiBoy One-Shots

Choice

"Just kill me."

"..."

"Why are you hesitating? Just kill me, goddamnit!"

"..."

Hali did not know what to do. He held a sniper gun in his hands, pointing it towards his target. He had his finger on the trigger, ready to pull at a moment's notice.

But still, he hesitated.

Solar's voice softened as tears sprung in his eyes.

"Please, Hali," he whispered. "You don't have to struggle. It's either me or your family. It's an obvious choice."

"But I can't," Hali choked out. His mission was to stalk out the king and kill him. As easy as that. But he didn't count on getting found out and falling in love with his target. He was an assassin, goddamnit, not a fucking love-struck boy.

"You have to," Solar snapped at him as tears fell silently on his cheeks. "Or I'll do it myself."

"Solar, I..." Hali watched in shock as Solar too out a dagger from his royal clothes. "Drop that knife, Solar. Please."

"You have a choice now, Hali," Solar whispered softly. "You kill me, or I kill myself."

Hali felt something wet in his cheeks, but he refused to wipe them away. His arms trembled as he struggled to keep the sniper pointed on his target.

Everything slowed in the split second after he pulled the trigger. He watched as the bullet hit a vital point in Solar's neck and he was dead before he even hit the ground, the dagger clattering loudly on the floor.

Hali figured he had a few seconds before the royal guards arrive. But he was not about to save himself after what he just did.

The bounty was big, but the price was heavy.

Yes, his family will now have money to buy something to fill their empty stomachs, but nothing could ever fill the hole in his heart for what he'd done.

He loved him, and now, he died at his hands.
