Work Text:
Fukase was in his room, He was crying after his parents yelled at him for nothing and shamed him for wearing skirts. He pulled out his razorblade from his pocket and started to glide it against his arms, Blood started to drip from the cuts. His vision was blurry, Tears fell rapidly from his eyes. Suddenly he got a text from his group chat that was just him and his boyfriends.
8:15 PM
Piko: Hey guys is anyone up to playing Project Sekai?
Len: Maybe in a bit, My mom is making me wash the dishes.
Piko: Okay! Kase do you wanna play?
8:20 PM
Piko: Kaseee? You awake?
**One missed video call from Piko**
Piko: Kaseeee??
Piko was getting worried; Fukase never didn't answer their texts. he walked to his sister's room and opened the door. "Miki, Can we talk?" He felt uneasy, What if something bad happened to Fukase?
"Hm? Yeah Piko what do you need?" She looked up from her laptop, she started adjusting her glasses.
"Um.. I know i may be overreacting but... I'm worried because Fukase wont answer my texts or my calls... And he's always on his phone... And i have a really bad feeling about it..." He started to fidget with his fingers, His ahoge started to turn into a straight line and his cord started to sway around quickly, which meant he was nervous.
"He might be busy... But knowing you there usually is something wrong whenever you get a bad feeling... How about you rest for a bit, and if you still have the bad feeling and he still hasn't answered come talk to me." She pat him on the head and walked him to his room.
9:20 PM
Fukase: Sorry... I was busy with... Homework...
Len: But we didn't have homework today?
Fukase: It was some old homework...
Len: Oh, That makes sense.
Len: Hey Piko, Wanna play Project Sekai now?
9:23
Piko: Sorry I fell asleep but sure Lenny~ :-: Kase im glad your okay because i was so worried, You usually always answer right after a message is sent.
Fukase: Can i join you guys in Project Sekai?
Piko: Of course!
Len: Sure!
After a bit of them playing Project Sekai, they all went to bed, Except Fukase.
Fukase was trying to sneak into his kitchen for food when his mother stopped him.
"What do you think you're doing?" His mom's face was full of anger, she grabbed onto his shoulder hard. "I told you, you don't get food the entire week because you didn't pass your exams." She said coldly and dragged him back to his room.
11:59 PM
Fukase: Anyone up?
Len: Me
Fukase: My mom won't let me eat food for a whole week for failing my exams...
Len: This is exactly another reason i hate your family, they're terrible! How can they restrict you from eating food?!
Fukase: My family has always been like this and I've gotten used to it. They once tried to kill me in a house fire before and that's where these scars come from...
Len: Oh Fuka... I wish your family was better...
Len: Do you want me to give you food tomorrow at school?
12:12 AM
Len: Helloo?? You there Fuka?
Fukase was cutting his face open; He wanted his scars gone permanently. Blood got all over his clothes and bedsheets. He winced a few times in pain but he ignored it, He didn't want to be weak, Thats another reason for his parents to hate him.
12:30 AM
Len: Fuka...?
Len got worried, This is the second time today Fukase randomly didn't respond. He started pacing around his room, Rin was getting annoyed at hearing the floorboards creaking so she banged his door open.
"WHY ARE YOU PACING AROUND YOUR ROOM THIS LATE AT NIGHT. ITS PISSING ME OFF." Rin shouted at him. which scared the shit out of him.
"Sorry Rinnie... It's just Fuka isnt responding to my messages and he did this earlier... And i know he was lying with the excuse earlier that he made because he didn't have any late homework... I know how bad his mental state is and how terrible his parents are and im scared something happened to him... I know you think im probably overreacting..."
His eyes darted all around the room, he didn't look at Rin once.
"Yeah Len, You are overreacting. He's probably fine. It's late at night and he's probably sleeping. don't be so worried. Anyways, I'm going to bed." Rin slammed his door shut and walked back to her room. Len had a terrible feeling.
When it was time to get ready to go to school, Len and Piko both had a bad feeling.
6:34 AM
Len: Piko, Fuka, Do you have a bad feeling today...?
Piko: I do...
**Fukase started a video call**
**Piko joined the video call**
**Len joined the video call**
Len: Yeah Fuka? You need something?
**Fukase was muted but his camera was on. There was a rope hanging down from his ceiling. he was standing on a step stool to reach the rope**
Piko: Kase.... Dont you dare...
Len: FUKA NO
**Fukase put his head through the hole of the rope (idk what to call it) and kicked the step stool away. He hung himself.**
**Piko and Len left the call**
Len started to burst out into tears, his sobs were so loud Rin barged in again.
"LEN WHY ARE YOU CRYING YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING READY FOR SCHOO-" Thats when Rin noticed the traumatized and deeply hurt look in his eyes, This wasn't a normal just sad day, it was something much more.
"Len...? What's wrong...?" She crouched down next to him on the floor. She had genuine concern on her face.
"I-I-Its F-F-Fuka...!" He was sniffling and stuttering, He normally doesn't stutter when crying. "H-H-He h-h-hung h-himself..." His heart was shattered, He hugged Rin tightly, Rin was the only thing keeping him up.
"H-he hung himself...?" Rin's face went from concern to shock. She should have listened to Len when he said something could have happened to him. She held Len in a tight embrace. comforting him as much as she could.
"Look... I'm going to go call our school that you won't be attending today... I'll be right back, I'm also going to talk to Mom about this..." Rin let go of Len and walked out into the living room to call the school and talk to their mom.
Meanwhile with Piko, Piko cried so hard, He ran to Miki's room and hugged her so tightly
"What happened Piko...?" Miki looked at him, concerned, She pat his head softly.
"Kase... He killed himself..." His voice cracked as he spoke. tears stream fast down his face.
"Oh... Oh... Piko im so sorry..." She returned his hug, she usually never hugs back but this was the one time she hugged him.
"Miki... Can i stay with you for the day...?" He started to calm down a bit.
"But you have school today..." She sighed, "I'll let you stay home today... What happened is traumatizing and i don't want you to be unfocused all day..." She pat his back gently. "Why dont you go sit in your room for a bit...?" Miki really didn't want to hang out with her brother but she knew she needed to be there for him today.
Piko went out of Miki's room and into the bathroom, Thats where he found painkillers. He took the entire bottle and went back to his room. after a few hours, Miki ended up finding him on the floor, dead.
Meanwhile back with Len,
Len swore he'd never kill himself years ago but... Today... He couldn't take it anymore. he did the same thing Fukase did.
THE END
