Isn't is cute? Doesn't it make your heart all warm and melty? Well...guess what! I'm sort of evil, and I'm going to write a short, depressing fic to neutralize the cuteness.



His toes hang over the edge of the cliff, and he steps closer. Soon, he is only tethered by his heels, and he is on the edge.

It is a feeling that he knows, and knows well. The wind is rushing around him, nudging him forward, but he can't hear it ruffling the snow-white hair around his ears. No matter how large and soft and pretty they are, they have never heard anything. He has been deaf since birth, so, he reckons, he has never heard his mother's heartbeat, as others have.

He shuffles a little closer to the edge, unfazed by the wind, which, oddly, contrasts the way he has been for the full fifteen years that he existed. He rocks on the balls of his feet, suddenly giddy and giggling, a sound that he can feel and not hear. It's ALWAYS like this, teetering and disorienting. HE doesn't know what to do, how to fit in, not with the other nekos. He doesn't like the way they look at him when he talks (he doesn't know why they stare so), so he doesn't talk. He can't hear when they sneak up to tease, to torment, to humiliate, so he steers clear of them, stays high in trees, where he feels safe.

Nobody seems to like him, not the way that they like each other. They don't smile and laugh...well, they do, but it's different. Odd. The smiles are mixed with something that he didn't understand fully until today. Resentment. Anger. Hate. And satisfaction.

As he stares down into the sheer drop, seeing the turbulent surface upon which he will land, he feels the same, satisfaction the most. He doesn't know why dying will help, he just knows that it will. He slides one foot back, dropping into a crouch before he leaps high into the air, into the nothingness in front of him, with the certainty that this one action will fix everything.

As he meets his death, he leaves the silent world for a silence that is much more welcoming.


Yeah, that came out of nowhere. The main character is a neko with pale skin, white fur and pale blue eyes, and that's why he's deaf. My neko, by the way, tend to have cat ears and tails, and their skin may or not be the same colour as their fur. It depends on the fic, really, and I'm still tweaking with the rules to see how much cat I want to put into them. By the way, the MC? He has no name because he doesn't know his. He's never heard it.
