Ah this was shorter than I expected. No quote this time bc it's 1:30 in the morning and I'm too tired to look one up.
The gun clicked and Makoto simply laughed. He held the revolver in his hand and opened the chamber. The single bullet left in the gun reflected the room's light. Makoto grinned and shut the chamber. "Lucky me, I guess. Sometimes, Russian Roulette isn't fair." He stood up in the room where Nagisa and Rei died and returned the gun to its original spot so Haruka wouldn't become suspicious.
When he closed the door shut and started to walk towards his room, he tried to be as quiet as possible to not wake Haruka up. He swore he could still feel the cold metal of the gun on his temple. Makoto shook his head in denial. 'No…It's not there anymore.'
In his room, Makoto sat down at an empty desk and sighed. It was going to be a long night. What the next day had in store for him, he didn't know. But one thing he was certain of: He or Haruka would have to die. The demon was growing impatient, and they knew that. There was no way that thing would let them leave together or go a few more days without seeing one of them break. Makoto scoffed and flicked a nearby pencil away. "I'm prepared." He grumbled to himself.
He put his head down on the desk and squeezed his eyes shut. "I'm gonna break soon, anyway. Why not tomorrow?" Makoto mumbled quietly and fell asleep.
"Wake up, Mako." Makoto was being pushed by something. He opened his eyes to see Haruka with the gun in his hand. He almost pushed Haruka away before he said, "Don't be alarmed."
"Why do you have that?" Makoto's eyes were wide.
Haruka handed him a note. "The little bastard left this next to me along with the gun. The note says one of us has to die tonight."
Makoto broke out in a cold sweat. "What?"
"One of you brats has to die!" The demon popped out from behind a desk. "The door is locked, so no excaping!" It cooed.
Haruka hissed at it, "Really? It's only been 12 hours since Nagisa and Rei died, and you want us to kill each other?"
"Yup!"
Makoto looked at Haruka and nodded. "No. I'm not going to kill Haru, and Haru's not going to kill me." He said.
The demon walked up to the two. "Are you sure? Both of you are on the edge of breaking, and I'll be the breaking point. Tonight one of you will break. You'll pull the trigger and kill your best friend. It'll be okay; you'll forget them eventually. Maybe he hated you secretly. Maybe you really didn't like him. Maybe you've always wanted to kill him." The demon cooed. His voice seemed to echo, making the two boys shiver in fear.
"We'd never believe that, right Haru?" Makoto looked over at Haruka, who looked at Makoto.
"Haru?" Makoto's voice went low and almost a whisper.
"Maybe." Haruka mumbled quietly.
The demon chuckled. "You see, Mako here has been nothing but a bother to you. Pulling you into these situations, making you do stuff you don't want to, not letting you swim. He wouldn't miss you if you died, so why don't you kill him and show me how much people would care if he was gone?"
Makoto looked at Haruka and whimpered. "Haru, don't listen to him, please!" He started to panic.
"One bullet to the head and it will kill him. Don't miss and it will be painless." The demon walked around Haruka. "Show no mercy."
Haruka giggled. "Makoto? Is he right? Would you miss me?"
"Of course I will, Haru! You're my best friend!" Makoto tried to convince Haruka not to kill him. If the demon got to him before Makoto did…
Makoto refused to let the demon win. "Haruka don't listen to it! It's a liar and it's trying to convince you of something that isn't true! Please put the gun down; we'll get out of this together! Isn't that what you said in the beginning? 'We'll get out of this together!', don't you remember that? We can't go out alive and remembered everyone who died together if you kill me! Remember everyone who died; Nagisa, Rei, Rin, Gou, Nitori, Mikoshiba, and Miss Amakata! They'll never be remembered if only one of us walked out of here!"
The younger's heart sank when Haruka looked him dead in the eye. "Maybe it's right Makoto. You probably do want to kill me. I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of killing me." He held the gun up and pointed it at the taller teen. "I'm so sorry, Mako. It's been fun."
Makoto started to panic. "Haruka, think about what you're doing! Nobody would want you to do this! Please, think of my family! Think of the people that would miss me!"
Haruka started to yell back, "I know what you did with Gou's picture! I know what you did with this gun earlier! You're sick!" He yelled.
The brunette admitted defeat. "Y-You're right. I am sick. I'm filth; I deserve to die. Before you kill me, there's one thing I have to tell you."
"What?!" Haruka shrieked, putting his shaking finger on the trigger.
Makoto looked dead into Haruka's eyes and said, "I love you."
Haruka's terrified face calmed down. "Makoto." The gun fell down to his side.
"Oh Haru!" Makoto sighed with relief. He was so thankful Haruka didn't shoot him he could cry. "Thank you."
But it wasn't over.
The gun was raised again and pointed right at Makoto's head, but Haruka's arm wasn't straight this time. It was bent a little, like he might drop his arm any second now. "I'm sorry for this. It's been fun, love. I'm sorry, but the time has come!" His face lit up in a warm smile.
"Haruka!" Makoto cried, knees weak.
The next moments were so slow it seemed like a dream. When Haruka pulled the trigger, time seemed to stop. You could hear the metal cutting the air and entering the victim's head, making blood splatter everywhere. Everything twisted so quickly with the Haruka moving his arm. The bending of his elbow was so slow Makoto didn't have time to let it all sink in as Haruka turned the gun.
Makoto screamed as Haruka turned the gun on himself and shot himself.
There's still 3 more chapters left. :D Thank you for everyone that reads this, that follows it, that reviews it, and votes for it. You guys made this possible. (I had intended to take a short hiatus, but that wouldn't be fun.)
It's come to my attention that I have made a few people cry over this.
I swear I write fluffy stuff too!
