Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day! And here's why: I'm finally going to confess!

The small tapping sounds of the keyboard continued as sunlight began to spill through the bedroom windows. Nagisa was sitting in his rolling chair, excitement and nervousness filling him up.

I'm not sure how he would react to it, but I hope that we can continue being friends! Karma was my best friend since first year. We're both guys and all anyway. But I'll try to keep my hopes up! Well, good luck to me!

-Sincerely, me

(1 day since the last letter)

The tapping stopped. Nagisa read the short letter, wondering if there was anything else he could add before his mother called for him. "Nagisa, Aiko! Breakfast is ready!" Quick and heavy footsteps soon followed down the stairs as the two siblings raced to the table.

Hiromi was waiting downstairs with a smile, until she saw the attire of her dear sons. "Come on you two! You guys only have 30 minutes left to get ready after eating!" She lightly scolded them while they ate. "Nagisa, have you been writing those letters? And Aiko, did you finish that project due today?"

Nagisa nodded and giggled as Aiko froze in fear. He only needed to finish the summary. Which required four pieces of evidence and five paragraphs to be considered a passing grade for effort. He only finished three paragraphs. Hiromi let out an exhausted sigh. "You better finish it up now or I'll lower your savings."

Aiko practically swallowed his food before sprinting upstairs. "Nagisa, I'm saving your letter in a different file!" Nagisa ran pass the room and yelled a quick "ok!" And changed into his school uniform. The two brothers grabbed their bags and tripped out the door, Hiromi watching them leave.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day and here's why: I'm going to help Karma buy a gift for Okuda!

The tapping stopped. He felt his heart clenched and breathing became harder. Aiko was hugging him from behind for comfort, wishing that he could help more.

It makes sense why Karma would like Okuda. She can make anything with her knowledge in chemicals for prank material. I can't do anything though.

"Stop."

"Huh?"

Aiko spun the chair so that Nagisa would be now facing him. He kneeled down to look at his younger brother in the eye. "You're an amazing person and a wonderful brother, Nagisa. Don't let one heartbreak change your view on yourself."

Tears stained the white button up shirt as Nagisa cried. He cried because of how careless he was. He cried because he knew that his brother was right. He cried because cutting wasn't enough.

School has been pretty tough right now. With a yellow octopus being our teacher and all. Anyway, I hope that I can survive another day of school.

-Sincerely, me

(3 days since the last letter)

Nagisa asked his brother to stay with him until he fell asleep. They ended up sleeping together while hugging. Hiromi slowly crept into the room and saved the letter, not wanting to read it. She wanted her sons to believe in her, ever since their father left.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to he a great day and here's why: I'm going to Kunugigaoka Highschool with Karma and Okuda.

Aiko lazily walked out of his room and paused at Nagisa's open bedroom door. He noticed the shiny razor behind the computer. "Hey Nagisa, you're not... using the razor, are you?" The bluenette turned around, a weak smile on his face. "No, not really. Do you need it?"

Silence overcame the room until Aiko sighed. "Just put it back in the bathroom before we leave. It's dangerous to leave it lying around." And he left. Nagisa turned back to the screen of the computer.

Karma hasn't been talking to me for a while. Just like in the second year of Junior high. What should I do? I'll try to talk to him in summer break. E Class us going to the mall and then to the beach together one last time. Good luck to me.. I guess.

-Sincerely, me

(10 days since the last letter)

Nagisa walked around the mall with Okuda, Karma, and Kayano. Okuda and Karma were holding hands, laughing while sharing an ice cream cone. Kayano was feeding Nagisa the new pudding from the pastry store at the entrance. Nagisa lightly tugged on Karma's sleeve, getting his attention.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?"

Okuda looked at Karma with an understanding look and walked away with Kayano.

"What is it?"

Karma's gaze was cold. Like he didn't want to waste a nanosecond away from Okuda. I'll just make this quick. Nagisa clenched his shirt, hands sweaty. "Is there a reason why you're ignoring me?"

Karma's eyes widened for a moment before turning into a glare. "Is that all?" His voice became cold as his eyes. Staring at someone used to be jealous of. How pathetic.

At least, that's what Nagisa imagined his old friend to be thinking. Their 'war' in E Class made him realize how Karma felt for a long time. Too bad Koro-Sensei can't help them now.

"I just don't want to associate myself with you anymore. Leave me and Okuda alone."

Nagisa didn't go to the beach with them.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a great day and here's why: I was invited to become part of the Student Council! With a new position, of course! I'm not sure what it's going to be but, I hope that I can be of help!

Aiko laughed as he read the last part, lightly squeezing Nagisa's shoulders as he continued typing. "Geez, you don't even know what you're doing!"

"Shut up!"

I'm supposed to meet Asano in the Meeting Room today. Good luck to me!

-Sincerely, me

(17 days since the last letter)

The walk to the Meeting Room was a bit tense. Students would stare and whisper, seemingly to know where he was going. Let's just say that he got the spot.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, Today is going to be a good day and here's why: I'm going to help Asano with the school festival! I didn't do much last year, but now I'm a Junior!

Nagisa looked at the time and panicked. He only had 30 minutes left to prepare before he met Asano at the mall. "Come on, Nagisa! Get ready!" Aiko yelled irritatingly from downstairs. He just got his driver's license and had to drive Nagisa at the meeting spot.

Not only that, their mother was out on a business trip since their uncle passed away. "Coming!"

I hope that I can be helpful while shopping. Well, good luck to me!

-Sincerely, me

(34 days since the last letter)

The shopping date ended a bit early. Asano offered to eat together at a cafe in the mall, specializing in sweets. Surprisingly, Asano ordered at least three pieces of cake and some flan. Who knew that he had a sweet tooth?

They continued in a small talk, almost seeming as old friends. A certain redhead walked passed the shop with Okuda beside him, watching the two from the outside. "Tch." An unpleasant feeling bubbled up inside him, like a growing wave drowning everything around it.

What a terrible turn.

Watching your friend becoming close to your rival.

You pushed him away.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day and here's why: Aiko is going to hang out with ke the whole day! I'm turning 15 today too! I hope that everything will be fine.

-Sincerely, me

(18 days since the last letter)

Another short letter. It was expected. They weren't being written often enough, considering that exams and club activities have been increasing as the school year neared its end. Aiko was smiling as Nagisa was walking down the stairs, a puppy and cat with small red ribbons around their necks.

They both had "I am a gift to the best little brother in the world! " Aiko awkwardly laughed while the two presents began to run toward their new owner. "I didn't know which one you wanted, so I got both of them!"

Nagisa kneeled down and giggled as they licked his face, tasting the small stream of tears running down. "You really are the best!" The small fits of laughter grew as Aiko tickled him endlessly, not obeying his brother's pleas of stopping.

"I have a lot more planned for today! So let's get to it!" Nagisa held the small, pouting animals in his arms before letting them go. They left the cat and dog in the house with a friend.

The two brothers visited the fair, walked in the park, and ate for lunch. Later on, they met Asano. He was surprised, considering that he hasn't met Nagisa's brother yet. After a long talk, Aiko finally allowed Asano to spend the rest of the evening with Nagisa, forcing the boy to promise to bring him back safe.

Nagisa, on the other hand, was confused. Why would Asano want to hang out with him? The question was ignored as Asano grabbed his hand and smiled. It was warm. He was blushing. They ate dinner together and watched the new Sonic ninja movie, enjoying the others company.

Almost like a date.

"Nagisa."

"Hm?"

Asano tightened his grip on the bluenette's hand, a link tinted in his face was becoming red.

"W-would you mind meeting me at the cafe again? On a later date, I mean!"

A moment of silence.

"... of course!"

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day and here's why: me and Asano-San are hanging out today!

"It's a date."

"No, it's not."

"It's."

"No."

"A."

"No."

"Date!"

"No! "

It was too late. Aiko had already erased the last sentence and replaced it with "I'm going on a date with the hot Student Council President! 3 " Nagisa groaned. He'll have to change that later.

(He didn't)

I hope that nothing goes wrong. Anyway, good luck to me!

-Sincerely, me

(8 days since the last letter)

Aiko snickered behind his brother while texting his mother, telling her that Nagisa got himself a date.

"Deary, could you please answer my calls? I want to talk to Nagisa about it myself!!"

Before he could even text back, his phone was ringing like mad. The call was accepted and put on speaker, just so that Aiko can hear it too.

"Nagisa? Where are you going for your date? Who is it? Is it that boy from Class 3 E? What was his name again? Oh! Karma! So, are you going out with Karma Akabane? "

There was silence in the room. Nagisa never told his mother that he got rejected, not wanting her to become worried. And there was the fact that he was gay. From Hiromi's voice, the two boys can both assume that she was perfectly fine with it.

"N-no. Karma rejected me when I asked him out in Class 3 E. But I'm actually meeting Asano Gakushuu. The Student Council President and son of the Chairman. "

Hiromi went silent this time. She felt horrible for bringing up the redhead's name, probably making Nagisa think of some painful memories. She made a mental note to not ever do it again.

"It's a date, son."

And with that, she changed up. Nagisa froze in his chair. What if it is? He wouldn't allow his mind to dwell on it. Although, his brother would constantly tease him on the way to the shop. "Come back home before night, okay?" Aiko winked before pulling out of the parking lot.

Nagisa walked into the calm coffee shop, immediately spotting Asano on the stool. He was eating two pieces of cake, tea steaming hot. Asano smiled and bought his date some food and they began to talk.

Time seemed to pass by as the two talked to each other, reminiscing about their time in middle school. They walked out of the cafe and headed to the park. Dogs were running around, a few followed the two boys until they found their owner. Children were laughing and playing on the other side of the playground, drawing in the sand and playing with their toys.

"H-hey. I'm really sorry for being rude to you and your classmates in 3rd year. My father was bent on me staying at the top of school in sports and academics. I sort of threw my frustrations at your class."

Nagisa sat on the swing, moving back and forward with the force of his feet while Asano was leaning against the pole.

Asano's face was a bit pink from embarrassment. He never thought that he would be apologizing to an E Class student. Well, former, E class student.

Nagisa smiled and giggled, curious in Asano's change of personality. He really isn't that bad. I small swell of happiness grew inside of him, making a red blush on his face.

Asano leaned in, feeling Nagisa's forehead.

"Are you sick?"

The bluenette furiously shook his head and noticed the time. Oh crap! Nagisa stood up and packed his things before Asano stopped him mid run.

"Wait! I-I need to tell you something!"

Asano stood in front of Nagisa, staring and admiring his blue eyes. Soft, pink lips. The very lips that he wished to touch. And he did.

That moment was like something you'd see in a fairy tale. Fireworks exploding inside of them, knowing that the other is really the one. A soulmate, as others would describe. Unfortunately, they had to pull away.

Asano held Nagisa's face, index and thumb holding the chin. "I love you, Nagisa Shiota"

A few seconds passed before Nagisa fully processed what the taller boy confessed. 'W-what? Does he mean it?' A small flash to the kiss made a fresh red blush spread across his cheeks, making Asano smirk. He knew that the bluenette was still thinking of a response but… he couldn't help but give him a peck on the lips.

"I'll let you think about it."

And with that, he left.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day and here's why: me and Asano are dating now! He confessed to me at the park and I haven't given him my answer yet. But he makes me happy, and he can be soft from time to time. I love him too. Graduation passed a few months ago, before he even asked me out! That's all for today! Good luck to me!

-Sincerely, me

(1 day since the last letter)

Aiko snickered as he read through the paper. "I was right! But that pretty boy better not hurt you!" There was one thought at the back of his head, something that he and his boyfriend have faced. 'How will others react to finding out that they're gay?' Negative? Yes. But this is high school. Everybody will judge you. And that's the hard part.

"We'll be fine. I promise." Nagisa hugged Aiko before leaving. He's been trying to get used to being alone. Aiko was going to move out of the house to a college going next year. They'll still be in contact though.

Nagisa was anxious. He twisted the cuffs of his jacket, nervously glancing around the students. It felt like the spotlight was on him. All eyes on him. But in reality, the students were just talking and laughing about what happened in a karaoke party he wasn't invited to. Like he ever was.

Soon, the bluenette was standing in front of the classroom door. He took a breath and opened the door. Nobody paid attention to the boy and continued their own conversations. Asano looked at Nagisa, a smile on his face. They walked out in the barren hallways, just the two of them. "Do you have your answer?" His arm was above Nagisa's head, trapping the boy against the wall. Nagisa nodded kissed Asano on the lips, hands on his chest.

They pulled away, Nagisa with a slight blush on his face while panting a bit. Asano hugged the boy closer, happy that they were together. He could care less about what other people think about their relationship.

Karma was listening from the other corner of the hallway, clenching his fists. He was strangely irritated with what was going on and walked away, even more irritated.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day and here's why: me and Asano are going on a date! It's going to be the 5th ever since our relationship started and I'm going to sleep at his place. Anyway, I hope that things will go well!

-Sincerely, me

(48 days since the last letter)

Doesn't it feel like it was all a dream? Just a little fantasy like in Class 3E? Nagisa was happy. Content. He knew that Asano loved him. And now, Nagisa loves him too.

The bluenette happily skipped to the park, humming and smiling on the way. Asano smiled when he spotted Nagisa from the tree he was leaning against. They held hands while walking from the park to Asano's house, talking about their interests and dislikes.

They entered the house, deserted. The housemaids and butlers were asked to take a leave on this particular day, because Asano had something special planned for his lover. They shared a kiss, growing more lustful as Asano removed Nagisa's clothes. Marks were left on the porcelain skin, consciousness was failing, pleasure over powering the sound of logic.

By the end of the day, their legs were tangled under the white covers on the bed. Nagisa was tracing the abs of his boyfriend, enjoying the other's heat. It was a wonderful day.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day and here's why: I'm in my senior year now! I hope that things can get better. And Karma actually spoke to me again! We're friends…. again.

-Sincerely, me

(14 days since the last letter)

That was it. Karma was talking to Nagisa again. Unfortunately, he broke up with Okuda. Asano was becoming possessive around Karma. It was cute, the way that Asano and Karma would get into these useless fights, Nagisa always had to stop them.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day and here's why: my new friends are going to hang out with me after school today! Actually, they said that they want to walk with me from now on, seeing how busy Asano is!

-Sincerely, me

(18 days since the last letter)

It was an innocent letter, just like the previous ones. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just another update, short and simple. Yet, the truth in these words were shown after days of "hanging out" with his friends.

Nagisa would come back home with bruises on his skin. A black eye. Bloody nose. A few pieces of skin peeled off in scratches. It was so bad. But he still managed to hide it under some make up. If he forgot to cover a bruise, he would lie and say that he tripped and fell. Or scratched it in the forest while hurrying to school.

It was difficult. He would cry himself to sleep. Aiko wasn't aware of what was going on because he already moved to his dorm room. Nagisa didn't tell him, in fear that his older brother would do something stupid. Like skipping a few days in college until he was sure that Nagisa would be ok. The bluenette never told his mother. He just didn't want to become a burden anymore.

The days would pass. The bullying got worse to the point where he decided to see the doctor. Nagisa had to skip a week of school to properly heal the wounds. The hospital even called his brother, telling him the physical and mental state of his younger brother.

Asano didn't know. Nagisa lied, saying that he had to visit an ill relative who lived in a nursing home far away. Nagisa didn't even bother telling Karma, knowing that Asano would tell. Over the past few weeks during the bullying, Nagisa noticed how close the two were.

Karma and Asano didn't fight anymore.

Karma and Asano had every class together.

They started to hang out after school without Nagisa.

The more that Nagisa would think about it, the more sense it made to him.

'They look good together. They're both intelligent, athletic, physically attractive, and strong. They're rich with a company to take care of in the future. Popular with the girls. Everything that I'm not. I'm not hot. I look like a girl. I'm weak, I can't defend myself. I beated Takaoka out of sheer luck. I'm not smart. Failing grades are all that I ever receive. I'm no good in sports.'

And then, a thought hit him.

'What if Asano lied about liking me? No. It's not a "what if" anymore. He never did love me. He must've faked it for a dare or a bet. We only had sex to make me believe in him. Just how stupid am i?'

Now Nagisa had a new reason to cry himself at night.

No one loves him.

The next time he woke up, Aiko was beside him, holding his hand.

Today was the day he would be released and be able to go back to school. Only 3 days left until graduation, actually. The finals have already come and gone. Next is college. And Nagisa wasn't ready.

Aiko wouldn't let Nagisa go back to school to actually attend the graduation party. He didn't argue. For now, Nagisa would have to stay in Aiko's dorm during summer break. Before leaving, Nagisa took the USB drive with the saved letters with him. Just a little update.

Dear Nagisa Shiota, today is going to be a good day and here's why: I'm going to stay with Aiko.

-Sincerely, me

(??? days since the last letter)

He forgot.

Like it matters now.

The first few weeks staying in the small dorm room was easier to adjust to. They would go out to eat, visit the park, and see the doctor for his Anti-depressants. That was their norm. A normal day with two normal brothers.

Oh how wrong they thought.

Just one day.

One day ruined it all.

Nagisa and Aiko had gotten back home late, like the usual. The window was open. Panic rose in Nagisa's chest when he spotted a large silhouette of a man in the corner of the room. The figure stood up and ran towards the two boys, knife in hand. Before Aiko could even react, Nagisa had jumped in front of him.

It was going so fast. Nagisa was stabbed in the stomach, blood spreading on his hands before he fell into his brothers arms. Aiko watched in horror as his brother was bleeding out onto his hands.

He looked directly at the attacker before punching him in the face, a molar falling out. "You asshole! The hell would you do that, you fucking psycho!" Aiko picked up Nagisa's barely conscious body and ran through the hallways, passing the dorm rooms while shouting for help.

Aiko sprinted down the stairs, tripping on the last step while hugging Nagisa closer to protect him. A stinging pain was coming from his leg, wet liquid spreading through his pants. "Nagisa! Nagisa! Can you move? Oi! Answer me, damn it!"

He was getting desperate for a way to at least help Nagisa survive.

"I'm still going to stab him over and over again. I'll spread his blood on these very walls. This is what that little bastard deserves after humiliating me twice!!"

A gunshot.

A heavy thud.

Another gunshot.

Tears falling down Nagisa's face.

Two dead bodies, clinging to each other.

One killer.

Takaoka.

One of the students in the dorm had called the police when they heard gunshots.

It was all over the news. Takaoka wasn't caught, but he left a bloody message on every door on that level where he committed the crime.

REVENGE

Is this what happens to kind people?
