No need for an excuse - 3
A/N: Please forgive me some invented things.
There was that buzzing sound again, indicating a change of the future as Akise pointed the gun at Yuno, who was grinning manically.
"Wrong choice, Yukki...", the pink-haired girl said, crouching down and pulling a blade out, after which she ran towards the brunette.
Everything was happening way too fast. The cut on Yukiteru's chest, the sound of a shooting gun, a curse from the girl who fell to the ground and a puddle of blood started forming around her, her clothes stained red. This never was the crimson-eyed boy's plan. He didn't want his beloved one to see him killing a person, or more so, to let Yukiteru get hurt. He knew that the future god wasn't supporting any kind of violence and he knew that he feared blood. That is why, in Akise's point of view, Yukiteru would make a perfect god and rule the world peacefully, preventing many wars from starting.
"Sorry, Yukiteru-kun...I didn't mean to-", Akise wanted to apologize, but the brunette interrupted him:
"No. she was just fooling me...your warnings were right. I saw a prediction in my diary that I'd kill all of my friends.", he frowned, holding his hand close to the wound on his chest, then continued "And believe me, that isn't the future I want...Besides, it's nothing new that she tries to kill my friends..."
After these words, Yukiteru sobbed. He realized that he had fallen in love with a liar, a stalker and a complete psychopath. It was a mix of self-pity, regret and sadness that he was feeling. Because, even though Yuno had manipulated him, he loved her...or...well, so he thought. It suddenly hit him: If he really loved Gasai, why did he choose Akise? Did he love the silver-haired more? Was it rational to behave that way?
"Yukiteru-kun...don't cry. I know it's hard to accept such a loss...", he said in a quiet tone, wrapping his arms around the other boy's waist. "Right now, the world is falling apart. Before even more people die, we have to act. Now it is up to you or 8th. Both worlds are fine...or, better than Yuno's would be. But, I can tell you a thing:8th can't become God. She only wants to create a safe world for the children, but a God has to care about everyone, not just one group, to bring the world salvation. Besides, if we just stand here and do nothing, you will bleed to death or something.", he added in a worried tone, leading Yukiteru to the 8th and to their friends, Hinata, Kousaka and Mao.
As they arrived, the 8th was stuck between a massive wall and the ground, the wall had been seemingly brought down by one of the destructive black spheres.
"Akise, let's help her up!", the brunette suggested, trying to act tough despite his injury.
Kousaka sighed and grinned at that: "Yukiteru, you should rest. I guess real men should do this job."
Mao giggled a bit and took a photo of the blue-eyed boy's confused and angry expression before running over to Kousaka and Akise and nodding "Real men, you say? We can only move it if we work all together, so, come on now. The wall is pretty massive."
After that words, all five of them gathered at the wall and pushed the wall up, but it was too late. The 8th had already been squished by the wall. Sure, it didn't look like much because she started vanishing like all the contestants were after their deaths. But Yukiteru was slightly sad. He didn't have the chance to a fair fight and him being the last survivor of the game meant that he won. The pain from his wound has left and his casual clothes were covered by a dark cloak. Now, he had another pain in his chest, for he knew he had to leave his friends behind. Without any further words, he turned away and made his leave. A long goodbye talk would have just made him cry and he didn't want to show that weakness again. Unknown to him, Akise decided to follow him and when he just opened a portal to the god's world, the silver-haired boy jumped through it before Yukiteru could say another word or stop him.
