A strange town

This is was created because I had read some revenge ntr and gave me an idea so ye.

please read these

Also trigger warning this has content that could have problems with people such as, talk of ntr, killing one se–lf, depression, anxiety, dark things might be stated and Koukujin no something so if any of these things are a trigger warning then please don't continue reading and skip entirely.

Also, it is not very important to the main plot of the story but will have some interesting facts about the main character and some few others in it and some insight and growth as a person.

Future characters might be used in these short stories but I don't know also future relationships and problems might be stated as a fun little bit of the cake but don't worry it won't be directly said so you would need to find it. This is if I want to but currently it doesn't have anything like this as it is the first short story.

This short story might be stated during the main chapters but the characters in here won't appear in the main story at all or slightly and might be referenced.

This is during the time of the second week so some things might be stated that are going to be in the future so ye.

Disclaimer, I will use these types of chapters/short stories/side stories when I feel as if the next main chapters will take too long or are still being worked on.

Final thing before you start reading, there is a big surprise at the end and I decided to say 'fuck it' and did something that some people might not like but I found it funny so ye

Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

I was on the rooftop of the school, sitting on the edge again with my book-bag beside me as I watched the view I had. The lunch period was my favorite time during school as I didn't have any work to do.

~creeaaakk~

The sound of a door opening could be heard softly.

Turning around, I could see the culprit for the noise was a kid who was about 13-16 years in age with blond hair. They didn't seem to notice me as they walked towards the edge while looking down.

'They don't look the best.' I thought while noticing the problems with their body. 

The kid's body was extremely sluggish and thin which was odd as I could tell from how their arm is built or how it was built it could be inferred that they was training in something physical. It was probably a more recent development and might have been traumatized by something to be affected this badly.

He was getting closer to the edge of the rooftop, it wasn't hard to tell what this kid wanted to do.

'And this is why you get fences on the top of roofs that could be accessed. Fucking hell.' I thought while I started to get up and walk over to the kid.

They had reached the edge and were looking at the ground before they started to lean off the edge.

'SHIT!' I started running. I reached out my hand trying to catch them by his shirt but from the looks of it I might not reach them.

'fuck, Fuck, FUCK!' I shouted in my mind. 'I might not catch them.'

They were starting to fall off the building and my hand was so close to reaching their shirt but it felt as if there was infinite distance between us that didn't close.

'SHIT!'

(Narrative POV : the kid)

A few minutes before

'Did they ever love me...' he thought.

They were walking up the staircase to reach the rooftop. Their eyes were looking down onto the floor but if one were to see them, the empty gaze they were giving would freak and scare one out. Their body, trained in Karate, was malnourished and tired, the kid hadn't eaten or slept since that day. Their blond hair that was once fluffy and clean was unkempt and their legs moved sluggishly barely being able to keep the kid walking.

They were once a happy kid but of course life can be unfair to some of the kinder souls. The day that they were forced to see that was the day they stopped being who they once were. 

'W-Why did this happen….' he stuttered in his thoughts.

'Did I do something wrong…..'

'Was I always not loved….'

'Did they ever actually care…'

'Why did they do this to me…..'

'Why was I forced to continue watching…..'

'Maybe they didn't ever actually want me…..'

'It might have been better if I wasn't ever born….'

'Maybe…..'

'Maybe...'

'Maybe it would have been better if I wasn't born at all….'

They continued in this downward spiral of self doubt and regret.

They had eventually reached the door to the roof. Opening it, they continued on to the edge of the school.

At the edge they could see the cold, gray pavement that seemed to be inviting them to fall off and join them on the ground. The thought was rather appealing to them.

'In the end it is better to be dead than alive.' they thought before leaning off the edge and falling off.

The world seem to stop, the feeling of jumping off and falling would usually cause one to panic or be scared but the only thing the kid felt was-

'The world feels so nice currently.' they thought even though they were falling to their death. 'If only it wasn't a rose with thorns for those that want to hold it.'

'But the world right now…it feels…so…..calm ... .I don't feel hate or sadness right now ... .it feels like I am being hugged by the warmest and coldest things right now.'

'Just….it feels so inviting…' they thought. The feeling of dying after all they have gone through was so inviting that the world has changed into the most inviting hug one could receive.

"Agch." they suddenly made a noise. The feeling that they felt disappeared before noticing that they were hanging off the building but not falling.

"Gotch ya, ya son of a bitch." A voice could be heard coming from above them. "Agg, but this was harder than I imagined."

This was the reason for them to not be falling…..Someone had caught them.

"Why did you catch me?" The kid said, looking up and seeing the person who had caught them.

The person was a male with black hair that was left unkempt and had a pair of beautiful eyes that looked like one was looking at the night sky in all its beauty. He wore the school uniform except that he wore pants instead of the normal shorts and wore a jacket with his uniform which wasn't a school jacket but a blue and black one. He had his hood up which normally would cover their face but because of the position his face was visible to see. He wasn't the most handsome person but he wasn't exactly ugly, in fact he would be slightly above average but not by much.

"Why shouldn't I. I was about to see someone kill themselves and I just couldn't let that happen in my watch." he responded to the kids question before pulling them back up and onto the roof. Both of them were on the floor, sitting.

"Jesus, that hurt my arm." he said while moving his arm around. He had caught someone that was falling and barely was able to get a good grip as well. These things had caused it for his arm to hurt from the sudden usage of it in such a situation.

"Sooooo, what's your name?" he asked.

"Why does it matter?" the kid said. "You know I will just try again when you can't stop me, right?" They continued.

He rolled his eyes. "That would be if I would let you alone." He looked at the kid. "I'm not as stupid to just let someone who tried to kill themselves alone."

They stopped talking for a bit before the boy stood up and gave his hand. 

"Come on, get up."

The kid looked at him for a bit and at his hand. "fine…" they said, grabbing their hand and pulling themselves up.

"Come on, follow me." they said, motioning them to follow.

"alright…"

The kid followed him as they went back into the school and walked to the 4 floor and went to a specific door.

'Oh, he is going to tell her.'

Walking inside, a woman could be seen working on her computer before looking up to them. "Do you need help with something?" she asked.

Before the kid could speak up, the other one spoke up first. "We need to take an absence for today as this one has been put into a situation."

"And what is this situation?" she asked.

"Family."

'He didn't tell her?' the kid thought.

"Okay then you shall not be put in trouble for not being in classes." she said before waving her hand. "You can leave now and I hope you are able to fix this problem."

He nodded before walking away. The kid slightly bowed before following.

They walked out of the room and continued to walk down to the first floor and left the school. The entire time they hadn't said a single thing during the entire time.

The boy continued to walk in the direction of the park. 

'Why are we going to the park?' the kid thought.

In the park, the boy sat down onto a bench and motioned for the kid to sit down. The kid looked at him before listening and sitting down about a foot away from him.

"Soo, what's your name?" the boy asked.

"It's…." the kid thought for a bit before answering. "It's Hiroki."

"Well nice to meet Hiroki. I won't introduce myself but do know that I am going to help you." the boy said.

"What do you mean?"

"Like I said, I am going to help you." the boy said, looking into the distance.

"Why?"

"Because I want to, that's it."

"You're odd."

"I know but so what. If I want to help someone I help and if I don't want to then I don't. It's simple really."

"Heheh." Hiroki laughed dryly. "You are something."

Looking around for a bit before looking back down into the ground. "But why should I even accept such help?" Hiroki said before looking at the boy.

"Is there any reason for me to get help when I don't want to live?" Hiroki said, staring at the boy with their empty gaze.

"Why do you want to kill yourself." the boy suddenly said.

Hiroki looked at him in surprise from the sudden question. They looked down to the ground not knowing what to say.

"I just….." Hiroki trailed off. "It's….."

"Is it because of your family?" the boy said calmly. 

"Huh." Hiroki looked over to him. "What do you mean?" they said, looking at the boy with a stare.

"Huh, so it was a family issue."

"Well…." Hiroki looked at the ground. "Yes but not the only thing….."

"What do you mean?"

"Well first off, how did you figure it out? You said 'so it was a family issue' that means that you were thinking about what it was and thought correctly."

"It's simple really. You know how I said Family as the excuse."

"Yeah."

"Well I was watching how you reacted to it and saw how you flinched, signifying that it was something similar or exactly that."

"What the…" Hiroki stared at him with surprise. "You're rather observant."

"I guess but what did you mean by that not being the only thing?" he said pointing at Hiroki.

"Well my friend and girl–ex girlfriend were also part of it." Hiroki said with an empty gaze at the floor.

"What did they do?!" he said with slight venom in his voice.

"T-T-They….." Hiroki stuttered before stopping.

Hiroki started to shake violently. They started to breathe quickly and slight tears started to build up and fell down onto the floor.

"SHIT!" the boy said before getting up and rushing to Hiroki.

"Come on, you'll be alright." he said before grabbing Hiroki's head forcing them to look at each other. "Look at me. Focus on me. Listen to me alright. You'll be fine."

Hiroki could barely control themselves but was able to at least control themselves enough to look at the boy and nod.

"Copy what I am doing." he said before taking long and deep breaths trying to get Hiroki to copy him.

Hiroki was trying to copy him but they were having a hard time being able to do such a thing when they were breathing so quickly.

The boy got up and rushed to his book-bag and grabbed a bottle of water and a small bottle before rushing back to Hiroki.

"Here, drink some water." he said, opening the bottle and giving it to Hiroki, helping them to drink it.

Hiroki drank some of the water but was stopped. "Hey don't drink so fast, slowly." he said before letting Hiroki drink more.

Hiroki nodded before drinking some water more slowly. "Now try breathing slowly." the boy said.

Hiroki nodded and was able to breathe longer and slower breaths.

"Yes, just like that." the boy said.

Hiroki continued and was able to calm their breathing down, now able to speak without stuttering or problems, but was still shaking violently, just not as bad as before.

"Are you better now?" the boy asked.

"Y-yeah."

"That's good." he said as he put the other bottle away. "It would have been bad if I just randomly gave you this medicine that might not have been the proper portions."

"W-hat, ha, was i-it?" Hiroki asked.

"A medicine for panic attacks." he answered. "I have them as well and I got it in case you needed it, plus I noticed how you were almost the exact same as I was when I had them on such a level." he explained.

"O-oh, that's i-interest-ha-ting, ha." 

"Don't speak that much, use more short sentences."

"O-okay." 

"Come on, let's get you up and move." he said and pulled up Hiroki before taking them to a bench.

"T-thanks." Hiroki said.

"No problem." the boy said, giving a thumbs up with a slight smirk.

Hiroki was in thought on what to do now as they tried to tell him what happened but weren't able to. 'What do I do now…' they thought.

"It looks like you aren't ready to tell me." the boy said. "It's fine." he suddenly said.

"Wh-what do you m-mean?"

"You're starting to panic more." he said before looking into the distance again. "I can tell you are trying to tell me what happened but you can't. That is fine, I can wait." he smirked while pointing at himself.

"Heheh, y-you're a, ha, odd one." Hiroki said, laughing softly. "T-thank you." they said with a smile.

"No problem." he said before opening his book-bag and grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil before writing something on it.

"Here." he said, handing the paper to Hiroki. 

"W-what is, ha, this f-for?" they asked while looking at the paper with numbers on it. They could feel their tears building up if it was what they believed it was.

"It's my phone number and where I live so you can call me or visit me if you ever need help or something." he said with a small smile.

Hiroki looked at them before starting to slowly cry again. 

"H-hey, what's wrong!?" he said, surprised by Hiroki suddenly crying.

"I-i-i-it's n-nothi-ing bad j-just….thank you." Hiroki said between tears.

"Haa, no problem." he said with a slight smile while patting them on the back.

After that, they started to calm down from that event.

"Fuck." the boy said.

"What happened?" Hiroki asked, they were more calm and were able to talk normally now.

"Nothing bad, just that I need to get going as I have a meeting with a friend, or at least the person I found better to be with then the other students."

"Oh.." Hiroki got slightly sad from that fact.

"No need to be so sad we can always meet up during school and such." they said.

"Okay…"

"Well I'll get going then, see ya later." the boy said as they got up. Grabbing their book-bag, they were about to leave before stopping. "You can call me Hakari for now." they said and left.

"Hakari...thank you." Hiroki said while watching Hakari leaving.

"Thank you." she said.
