The tokoyamiverse

long awaited fate

(contains themes of suicide, read on your own accord) 

Tokoyami brought the gun to his head

he was sick of living 

he was over a million years old 

and was stuck in the body of a 15-year-old with a raven head 

he had seen friends die 

he had seen family die  

and he had seen first loves to die 

he watched them as they entered the earth in a box special decorated for the occasion

watching them leave, to start the second stage of their lives 

while he would be always be trapped on the first level 

he didn't know why he couldn't die 

it was only after his 3rd suicide attempt did he finally realise that death was a luxury he couldn't afford 

expensive for him yet so free for others 

he had tried everything to kill himself 

mainly for the thrill 

jumping off cliffs into shark-infested waters, he would simply reemerge Scott free 

he felt pain at each attempt 

and that was ok 

because he knew it didn't matter in the end 

he picked up his gun and headed towards the toilets, it was easier to clean up the remaining blood 

it would be the first time he would attempt suicide in the U.A school 

the thrill was like a drug to him 

and it had been too long since he had had his share 

but little did he know his movements had gathered a crowd 

as he entered the tiled room, he began the procedure 

but was interrupted by a chorus of panicked shouts 

he turned around to see the others of his class 

and many of them tried to get the gun away from him 

only to be stopped with a shake of his head

The others exclaimed why he was doing this, but the avian only sighed

"You'll see, "Tokoyami said bluntly 

his glassy eyes looking over to the people around him

Then, he pressed the trigger

 a loud bang echoed throughout the room 

 blood was splattered to the wall

screams and shouts soon flooded the sky 

but after opening their eyes they could still see him standing

blood dripped from the sides of his head and eyes, 

yet he continued to stand strong 

their eyes widened as big as dinner plates. 

"as you can? " Tokoyami told them, moving to collect the bullet that went through his own head

he turned to them and they flinched, no one said a single word to the young and mysterious hero.

"I can't die "tokoyami stated, holding the bloody bullet in the palm of his hand 

he told them of the real truth of his existence 

and all decided that they wanted to help him 

at the middle of japan was a fountain that was said to grant one's eternal wish 

and that was where tokoyami's soul would finally have peace 

of course, tokoyami would have already done it if it was that easy

the trek was dangerous alone

but he soon found himself not alone 

he had friends that he would help him finally reach peace  

when they had finally arrived 

tokoyami began to walk forward to his long-awaited fate

a distant mystical voice asked why tokoyami had come 

tokoyami simply answered that he wished for his life to end 

the fountain agreed 

but warned him

"If you choose this path, you will never return to this world, do you understand" 

tokoyami took a long gaze to his friends 

one's he would be determined to never see die 

"I do" tokoyami answered 

and scooping up the poisonous water

he began to drink 

he closed his eyes 

and all he could see was white 

he had finally died 

and all he could do 

was a smile in relife
