CW/TW su*sude, death, depression
Tamaki POV
The raid lasted much longer than it should have, but when it was done, I could only think of one thing: Where is Mirio? We got separated what felt like hours ago. Eventually, I found him he was lying in a puddle of his own blood. His costume was torn, and even more blood was coming out of at least two stab wounds. I was terrified. Could this be the end of my lover!? I knew that this was a dangerous profession and heroes die, but this was Mirio! I rushed over and sat down next to him, ignoring the blood that was seeping its way into my costume. It was just a costume at that moment, we were not Lemillion and Suneater, we were Mirio and Tamaki. I frantically looked for a pulse and let out a sigh of relief when I found one, it was weak but there. Hopefully, he could hold out until the paramedics arrive.
"Mirio," I whispered, afraid that if I spoke too loudly, I'd send him over.
"Hey Tamaki," he smiled weekly.
"Don't talk just hold on!"
"Then I'll sing," he responded, I was at a loss for words.
"Goodbye to you, my trusted friend"I knew that song. A song meant to be a song on a deathbed. I listened to it a lot when I was a suicidal kid. It was one of the ones I shared with everyone hoping someone would hear my pain and suffering because I was too afraid to ask for help. Mirio was the only one that heard, but he still fell in love with the song.
"We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time"
He slipped out of consciousness as he sang the last line. Through my tears, I could see him smiling. Not the normal smile that he always wears, but a small sweet, sincere smile. He was dead by the time the ambulance got there. There was nothing they could do.
After that, I didn't leave my room or talk to anyone for two weeks. Mirio was the one that was able to keep the depression at bay. I missed him so much.
I reached into my hero costume and took out a sea urchin from one of my many food pouches. I forced myself to eat it before going outside. I stopped at a flower shop and got a bouquet of sunflowers. Mirio was always my shining sun. Once I reached his grave, I placed the flowers by his tombstone, as I felt tears fall from my eyes, dripping onto the dirt. I began to sing.
"We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time"
I activated my quirk, turning my finger into a large purple spike. I hesitated, Mirio wouldn't want me to do this, but Mirio wasn't here, and life was too hard for me, and after this, we could be united in the afterlife.
I took my spiked finger and jabbed it into my eye, ignoring the pain as I pushed it straight into my brain, killing me instantly.

I hope you enjoyed!
The song in this chapter is Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks. I did not use the entire song, just the beginning and the end.
