Chapter 6 – The End?

Netto stood facing the ocean, a small breeze behind him; his tears were cold and dripping into the water below him. He still hadn't gone into it yet. He still couldn't decide if this was the best way to die.

I wanted to live here peacefully, without all those flaws back in Akihara, this town is perfect. Netto sighed and began removing his clothes. This way, the cold temperature will kill me quicker.

He chucked his clothes onto the beach and began walking in, cringing at the freezing cold temperature, the wind at his back kept pushing him in further until he was stood far enough in that the water reached his shoulders.

He stood facing out into the sea, looking at the sun slowly rising. His last sun rise he would ever see. How he loved to see the sun rise and set, the sky slowly lighting up…

Netto was shaking from head to toe; sooner or later he was going to dunk his head all the way in and slowly stop breathing.

Everywhere I turn… something comes along and turns it bad. It's like im the unluckiest guy in the world. The only good thing was Rockman.

"No, I can't think about him anymore" He said shaking his head angrily "I hate him" he said with tears slowly forming in his eyes.

"Even if I chickened out of this, id have no where to go… im not going back to Akihara, I don't think I belong here anymore and I'm not going back to Rockman"

He closed his eyes, tears still streaming down. When he was ready he dunked his head below the water, but at the shock of how cold the water actually was… he resurfaced soon after.

"Holy crap!" He shouted, shivering much more.

This is going to be harder than I thought.

Rockman ran around Taurin crazily, panic was set all over his face, desperately trying to find Netto.

"Netto, Netto!" He shouted, he felt bad that he might be waking everyone up, but he wanted to find Netto, no matter what.

"Where could he be…?" He stopped, slowly looking around and then looking up towards the sky seeing the sunrise form lines in the sky.

"Netto must know this island of by heart…" I seriously hope he's not doing anything stupid.

He continued on running in any direction, shouting Netto's name out to the world… hoping the boy would reply…

Netto attempted to stay underwater for long periods of time and just hope to loose himself in the coldness but each time it kept failing, he couldn't adjust to the cold temperature, his body for some reason felt warm, he had been stood in it so long that his body just became numb.

He growled and thought "This isn't working!" He started to move around the sea in anger and just ended up floating on his back, his naked body facing the sky.

"Does the ocean not understand? I want to die!" He said slamming his fist into the water creating random splashes.

"Netto, Netto!"

Netto heard the sound of his name being called, it was definitely Rockman; he stopped floating on top of the ocean and looked around but didn't see him anywhere in sight, that didn't mean he couldn't hear him calling his name.

"Crap, he's close"

What should I do, he'll see my clothes and find me… I don't have time to swim back and get them. I'll just have to die now… it's a bit quick but id much rather die than have him find me, especially in this state.

Rockman ran up to the edge of the beach and looked around, spotting the lump of clothes lying on the beach.

He ran up to the clothes mingling on the floor and realise who they belonged to…

"Netto! Nettooo!" he cried, picking up the clothes and looking around the beach.

Why are his clothes here… what's he doing!

"Netto where are you!" he shouted once more, still seeing nothing.

"The only reason he'd take his clothes of would be to go in the sea" He walked over to ocean edge and checked the temperature and got a shock "Its freezing cold, way too cold" He looked around again, still seeing no sign of Netto being around.

He was about to turn around when he heard a gasp for air behind him. Rockman's eyes widened and turned quickly to see Netto facing away from him.

"Netto!" he cried.

The brunette turned and saw Rockman on the beach, holding his clothes… which made Netto think differently than he should.

"Oh I see, taking my clothes so if I came out of the water id have no way to get warm! You're an idiot!" He shouted back.

"No!" He cried in return, annoyed that Netto had thought such a thing "Netto, stop being crazy and come out of the water! You'll freeze to death!" he added.

"What's the point" He said sadly and turned away, ignoring anything Rockman had yet to say.

"Netto, Netto! Answer me!" Rockman growled "If you don't come out of the water I'll come and get you, naked or not!"

Netto turned back to face him, Rockman was feeling slightly better that he had caught his friend's attention "It doesn't matter; you've already seen me naked!" He retorted.

Rockman's face blushed as Netto turned back around "And it was amazing" Rockman shouted back hoping a bit of complimenting might turn this around "Please, I had loads of fun last night with you" he asked pleadingly.

"No… last night you had fun with Rosuto, not me" he said back.

Rockman sighed; this wasn't going to be easy.

"Just go away and leave me alone, let me die in peace"

So that's what he's doing, he's killing himself Rockman thought, eyes widening at the thought.

"Wait Netto, please… let's just sort this out and come out of the water"

Netto ignored him and kept his back to him the whole time… still believing he was doing the right thing.

"Netto please" He pleaded; it was finally time to say it… "Netto, I love you and only you"

Netto's eyes widened. He finally decided to say it. "Its too late, I loved you a long time ago… but the waiting and waiting, then when you told me this morning that your love for me died down, how do you think that made me feel!"

"You were Rosuto! I said that because you were him, not you! I've always loved you, you we were just too dense to realise!" Rockman stopped before he said anything else that might upset him; he was in a bad situation already.

"So… im dense, that's what I look like to you" He closed his eyes and dunked his head down.

Rockman shook his head, tears streaming down quicker than ever

"Netto-kun!"

Hmmm. More suicide.
