Shining like a supernova
Brightest of the stars
From another galaxy
Like Jupiter and Mars
Baby, all I need
Is just a little bit of your starlight
You're my supernova
…………………..
“A supernova is the catastrophic, immensely powerful explosion of a star. It happens during the final stages of a massive star's life or when a white dwarf star undergoes runaway nuclear fusion. These flashes can briefly outshine an entire galaxy and leave behind dense remnants like neutron stars or black holes.
Massive stars eventually run out of nuclear fuel. Without the outward pressure of nuclear burning, the star's gravity collapses its core inward in mere seconds. The collapsing core rebounds with immense force, blasting the outer layers of the star into space.
The core is then crushed into an incredibly dense neutron star or a black hole, leaving behind an empty shell of what it was.
Whilst a beautiful and temporary moment of a flash of light, it only lasts a mere moment, before disappearing into darkness without anything to fuel it.
How terrifying and beautiful it is to have something so large be so fragile without its precious source of life.”

Yoichi Isagi wouldn’t say he was exactly good with his fists.
He never got himself into a fight, not even at school with his other former teammates whenever there were scuffles.
He thought fist fights were illogical and the complete opposite of how his mind worked. Fights were nothing but an excuse to hurt people, nothing more than emotion boiling over and bleeding onto the other person, with shouting and insults going nowhere.
But here, Yoichi felt for once it was earned.
He could still feel the pain in his cheek and chest where Rin had struck him moments before. Blood trickled down from his nose as he wrestled with Rin on the locker room floor, with them going back and forth in the fight.
It was a blur of dust, fists, blood and hair. All rational thought escaped at this point, leaving nothing but rage and frustration.
“You’re a damn traitor, Isagi! A Goddamn traitor!”
“Shut the Hell up, Rin!! I was trying to win, unlike you who ruined it all!”
“You ruined everything in the first place!!”
Yells blended together. The world blurred around Isagi as he tried to wrestle Rin off of him, but wasn’t successful due to his size.
He barely registered that he was now being dragged away by a number of hands, and Rin was subjected to the same. The rage still pounded in his head.
Rin glared at Isagi with such an intense disgust that he had never seen outside of the field. He glared at Isagi like that was the only thing he was made to do, like it was all he had left to live for, like it was Isagi’s fault that the insurmountable rage pulsated through Rin’s veins.
“You Goddamn traitor! You traitor! I hate you!” Rin growled as he thrashed around in the arms of Hiori, Nanase and Aiku trying hard to keep him back, whilst Isagi was dragged away by Chigiri and Raichi.
“I hate you!!” Rin yelled with such intense emotion, akin to an injured lion roaring at anybody who dared to pity him,, who didn’t want anybody to see how hurt he was due to how angry the world had treated him.
The fight seemed to escape Isagi when he saw Rin’s anger explode more than he thought it would. The sheer emotion in his eyes, the slight shakiness of his voice, and the twist on his face carved by hate, stunned Isagi to his core.
Rin was overreacting. Bursting. Exploding.
Like the supernova he was.
