A Very Platinum Christmas
This is for Kura-tan, because she asked for something with Niou. I wanted to try writing Platinum from Yagyuu's point of view, so this ends up to have no Niou at all except in mention. And I shouldn't have tried because I can't really write Yagyuu. XD But here is my present to you, Kura-tan - happy holidays!
x A Very Platinum Christmas x 444 words x Yagyuu x Niou
Today, Yagyuu Hiroshi is going to kill himself, and this is his suicide note.
It is written in third-person, because Yagyuu Hiroshi does not believe that he is himself any more. No, he has not been himself ever since he lost half of himself anyway, so referring to himself as 'I' would be simply bizarre. He is not 'me'. 'I' am not him.
Yagyuu Hiroshi will take a sharpened blade - a switchblade from a dear friend - and cut his wrists while immersed in a bath of warm water, and while he is dying he will be perfectly content for the second time in his life. His blood will seep out of him and his body will be stained blood-red. Rigor mortis will set and he will have his eyes closed, his body at a slight angle from the way he will be sitting in the bath.
This note is only to be seen by the first person who reads it and the police, so that the police do not suspect that this is anything but a suicide. Nobody murdered Yagyuu Hiroshi. He just decided to kill himself, and being a gentleman, he will go through with his decision in approximately two hours.
Yagyuu Hiroshi hopes that the person who reads this will not enter the bathroom. He has already laid out his identification on the bathroom counter so that nobody will have to identify his body; he does not want more people to suffer on his part. Also, he apologises ahead of time (since he will not be able to apologise in person) to the reader: a suicide note is not something that makes for interesting prose, especially when it is non-fiction.
Yagyuu Hiroshi knows that it is Christmas. That is the reason for his suicide. Suicide rates jump during the holiday season (and he has been told this by a very reliable source) so he thinks that it would only be considerate to not be an outlier and join the rest of the data properly. Because that is all he will be when he is dead: another death, another number on a sheet.
Because his other half isn't alive with him to make his death important - who will care about the death of a half of a man?
Perhaps Yagyuu Hiroshi is being melodramatic. Perhaps you think that this is not the proper way out. But Yagyuu Hiroshi is not Yagyuu Hiroshi without Niou Masaharu, so it only makes sense for Yagyuu Hiroshi to join Niou Masaharu in the only way possible.
And here he puts his last statement as half of a man: Merry
His other half will finish the statement off.
