Trigger Warning: Major Character Death and Suicide

Modern AU

I'm really stressed right now... Decided to try to get the feelings out this way...

The blunette swung his legs as he relaxed in his perch. He stared blankly at his phone.

Hellfire is online.

Sapphire: Hey.

Hellfire: Hey.

Sapphire: I can't.

Hellfire: What?

Sapphire: School. It's too much.

Hellfire: Well, just finish this semester.

Sapphire: I can't.

Hellfire: Look, you don't have to go back immediately. But at least finish this semester. Coast through, keep your grades above a C+ for financial aid... But finish it.

Sapphire: I can't.

Hellfire: You can. Come on, Ciel. Don't worry so much about it. I'll help you.

Sapphire: I... I don't want your help.

Hellfire: Well, you're gonna get it. Let's talk about something else, so you're not so stressed.

Sapphire: I'm done with the gym.

Hellfire: What? But you just started.

Sapphire: I hate it, and it isn't doing anything.

Hellfire: You've got to go more than just a handful of times.

Sapphire: Sebastian.

Hellfire: Ciel?

Sapphire: I'm done.

Hellfire: What do you mean? You keep saying you're done and you can't, what's with this attitude?

Sapphire: I crashed.

Hellfire: Well, I'll help you through it. Just like last time.

Sapphire: No.

Hellfire: What do you mean "No."? Are... are you breaking up with me.

Sapphire: No.

Hellfire: Then what is it? What's wrong? Ciel, you have to talk to me, so I can help fix this.

Sapphire: I'm breaking up with the world.

Hellfire: What... what do you mean?

Hellfire: Ciel? Ciel?! You're still online...

Hellfire: Ciel, what do you mean by breaking up with the world? That doesn't mean what I think it means, does it?

Hellfire: Ciel, respond! Talk to me!

Hellfire: What did you mean?

Sapphire: I love you.

Hellfire: I love you, too. Don't scare me like that.

Sapphire: Sorry. It passed. I'll see you tomorrow.

Hellfire: I understand. See you.

Sapphire: I really do love you. So much.

Hellfire: As I love you. I will see you bright and early tomorrow.

Sapphire: Sleep well, Sebastian. Pleasant dreams. I love you.

Hellfire: Of course. Heh, so much love in one evening, how could I not have pleasant dreams? Sleep will help you feel better, so make sure you're well rested as well.

Sapphire: I know. Goodnight, Sebastian.

Hellfire: Goodnight, Ciel.

Hellfire is offline.

Sapphire: Goodbye.

The blunette stared into the dark water below him. His boyfriend loved this spot. He always brought him here, whenever he felt low. There was nothing left now. He'd said goodbye, given his boyfriend a night of peace before the hell he would be greeted with in the morning. He was sorry for that. But that was all. He couldn't keep going like this.

A clock began to ring out the hour. He jumped.
