Soukoku One - Shots

heroes

Basicly a pt. 2 to villains

We were never the protagonists. We were never the heroes. Any battle we won, we fought with pure power and got through with force. We didn't have luck, we didn't have the luxury to lose, We knew if we lost, we would die.

The good guys always win. 

To bad we were the bad guys, the villain of the story, the ones that the reader was lured into hating, and yet here we stood, in the face of that. There was no light side to the darkness to our world. There was no escape from the cage that trapped us and hid us from the sun.

That's what I thought anyway.

But I broke out. I found the key to this misreble cage and escaped. I found the light and sored. Leaving everything behind, including you. And the light seemed so much brighter now that I've reached it. I now bask in the light of day while the darkness of night crushes you. And I found out that luck was on our side.

But it was just on mine.

Now I'm the hero. The good guy, I'm the one everyone cheers on. I'm the one that you, the antagonist , will one day fight and lose to. And I'll win, I'll be celebrated and appreciated.  Just another hero to add to the list. 

The thought was indeed, a bit intimidating, but nonetheless, it was still the way the story was meant to be told. Not with you, not crashing into each other in victory and celebrating. Not on your side to pull you from darkness, not beside you saying 'i got this, partner' it seemed like that time of my life was so far away.

'Partner'

The word meant so much to me and yet it's just another part of my sappy backstory, working on the bad side, a hopeful story of finding the light. A sweet momento  to the people seeking to escape the night themselves. It was nice and hopeful, yet it was still a story of betrayal. I'm still not happy, even if it hurts to say so.

I was never the protagonist, never the hero. Any battle I won, I fought with pure power and got though with force. I never had any luck, and I never had the luxuray to lose. I knew if I lost, I would die.

But, the good guys always win.

And even if I suddenly was on the good side, my mind never changed, never straying to far from my origins beside you, never thinking that just because I'm suddenly a light, that all my battles will be won with luck, and the excuse of 'that's just the way the story goes.'

I still fought, and I still thought that through everything I put you though, that you still had my back, that you were still by my side, to bicker and complain. And when I fought with that thought, I would win, because we will always be partners.

I hope this is fine for Dazai's pov, I wanted to keep the wording almost identical. Like two halves of a whole. If that makes sense.
