It wasn't enough

Summary:

A little sad fic for the holidays based on Game 5 of Kespa Cup Final 2025. Players-as-Chamions-AU. Inspired by @gumapilled on Twt and brought to life through @Gumayucheeks art. Couldn't have done this without you guys, you're the GOATs!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Notes:

This would be my first time posting a fic on here so I might be tinkering with this a bit. My HTML skills really needs work.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

There's so much blood in his mouth. Yuck!

 

"There's so much blood on the snow."

 

His time is coming soon anyway, his Nexus is probably going to explode any minute now

 

"He's supposed to be by my side. These guns weren't supposed to be aimed at me. Why did it come to this?"

 

He can't really move his limbs. This sucks!

 

"My magic won't heal him. Of course it won't. How stupid!"

 

Minseokie's probably happy with the win. That's good, he deserves it. Aish he can't see anything!

 

"Minhyungie can you hear me? Can you see me?... Is THIS what you wanted to prove? For me to watch you suffer like this? Did you need to show everyone you don't need us? ANSWER ME!....answer me please..."

 

He's a little cold. Well, probably because of the weather. Spring is coming soon though. And when summer comes around, it'll be even warmer then. Warmer sounds nice.

 

"His hands are so cold! So cold! How many more times will his hands be this cold next year? How many more times will we have to kill each other?"

 

He's probably going soon. He already can't see or hear anything. And he's pretty sure he can't feel his hands and legs anymore.

 

"I can't let this happen. We're not meant to be separated. We were supposed to do it together! He wanted to pick a feather together! THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING! Minhyungie needs me to do something! OH!"

 

Oh? Something warm is steadily vibrating on his chest? It's...kinda soothing!

 

"His heart rate is picking up! It's working! He'll be okay! Maybe this will be enough!"

 

Yup he's hallucinating cat Minseokie. This is embarrassing! Last moments of this life and he wanted nothing more than to pet his former partner. If only he still can use his arm. No he can't. Hilarious!

 

"He's smiling! He thinks my purr is funny!? He's...why is his heart slowing down?"

 

This is nice though, like the kind of nice he used to know. The kind of nice he used to want to keep around. The kind he used to desire more than anything. The kind that was enough. Wait, he should have told him!

 

"Of course, of course it wouldn't work! I didn't do enough! I didn't let him know! I didn't show him!"



"I want him to know he was enough!"

"Minseokie hyung, please let me take him home! Please, he's nee...please hyung!"

"Minseokie, we can't keep him here, not anymore..."

Notes:

What? Did you expect aftercare or sth? Get outta here! (With love)
