Tokoyami brought the gun to his head

he was sick of living

he was over a million years old

and was stuck in the body of a 15-year-old with a raven head

he had seen friends die

he had seen family die

and he had seen first loves to die

he watched them as they entered the earth in a box special decorated for the occasion

watching them leave, to start the second stage of their lives

while he would be always be trapped on the first level

he didn't know why he couldn't die

it was only after his 3rd suicide attempt did he finally realise that death was a luxury he couldn't afford

expensive for him yet so free for others

he had tried everything to kill himself

mainly for the thrill

jumping off cliffs into shark-infested waters, he would simply reemerge Scott free

he felt pain at each attempt

and that was ok

because he knew it didn't matter in the end

he picked up his gun and headed towards the toilets, it was easier to clean up the remaining blood

it would be the first time he would attempt suicide in the U.A school

the thrill was like a drug to him

and it had been too long since he had had his share

but little did he know his movements had gathered a crowd

as he entered the tiled room, he began the procedure

but was interrupted by a chorus of panicked shouts

he turned around to see the others of his class

and many of them tried to get the gun away from him

only to be stopped with a shake of his head

The others exclaimed why he was doing this, but the avian only sighed

"You'll see, "Tokoyami said bluntly

his glassy eyes looking over to the people around him

Then, he pressed the trigger

a loud bang echoed throughout the room

blood was splattered to the wall

screams and shouts soon flooded the sky

but after opening their eyes they could still see him standing

blood dripped from the sides of his head and eyes,

yet he continued to stand strong

their eyes widened as big as dinner plates.

"as you can? " Tokoyami told them, moving to collect the bullet that went through his own head

he turned to them and they flinched, no one said a single word to the young and mysterious hero.

"I can't die "tokoyami stated, holding the bloody bullet in the palm of his hand

he told them of the real truth of his existence

and all decided that they wanted to help him

at the middle of japan was a fountain that was said to grant one's eternal wish

and that was where tokoyami's soul would finally have peace

of course, tokoyami would have already done it if it was that easy

the trek was dangerous alone

but he soon found himself not alone

he had friends that he would help him finally reach peace

when they had finally arrived

tokoyami began to walk forward to his long-awaited fate

a distant mystical voice asked why tokoyami had come

tokoyami simply answered that he wished for his life to end

the fountain agreed

but warned him

"If you choose this path, you will never return to this world, do you understand"

tokoyami took a long gaze to his friends

one's he would be determined to never see die

"I do" tokoyami answered

and scooping up the poisonous water

he began to drink

he closed his eyes

and all he could see was white

he had finally died

and all he could do

was a smile in relife
