3.32. Ultra-Bubbly

"Just go. Y/N. Get to a city."

Y/N's father spoke, the sound for some reason making his gut heavier. Y/N reached out a hand. It was just them two, in an apartment Y/N recognised to be his own. Nobody was there. So why was Eiji looking away from him? Why was he holding that gun out, brandishing it against the window of the apartment?

"Papa...?" Y/N quietly said. He reached out a hand. "What...?"

"Go, Y/N." Eiji replied. He didn't turn around. "Get to the car, now."

Y/N swallowed. Then he frowned. Why was his apartment so warm? He didn't like it being too hot...

"Get to the car, now." Eiji repeated. Y/N edged closer to him.

"What are you looking at?" He asked nervously. "There's nobody here. You don't need that gun."

"Get to the car, now."

Y/N blinked. A drop of sweat ran down his face. Why was it so hot? "You keep saying that, papa. Why? Why do I need to get to the car?"

Eiji took a step. He turned around. Y/N's blood ran cold.

His father's face was pale. Incredibly pale. Deathly pale. A thin line ran across his throat, leaking blood that ran down his neck. "You wasted the chance." Eyes rolled back in his head, an unmistakable anger in his voice, he took a step towards Y/N. "Little godling."

Y/N backed away from his father's walking corpse. "What...?" Why was it so hot?

"Get to the car!" Eiji screamed. "Get to the car... I died for you to get to the car!"

Why was it so hot?

Why was it so hot?

Y/N glanced around. Orange began to lick at the corners of his vision. The floorboards blackened, Eiji's clothes began to burn. Why was it so hot? "I don't... understand!"

"You never did." Eiji grinned, and in that, Y/N saw Kuroi's sadistic smiles.

Why was it so hot?

Eiji walked forwards. Y/N looked down. His apartment looked normal, didn't it? So why was it so hot? The bedroom door swung open. Flames rushed out. Why was it so hot? Y/N didn't know.

"Get to the car." Eiji repeated. He strode for Y/N. Y/N staggered back. Eiji grabbed his arm in a cold grip. Apart from Y/N's arm, his entire body was so, so hot. His skin was burning, turning a pinkish then red colour. Flames engulfed the room. Why was it so hot?

Eiji walked to the window. Y/N's face was grabbed, shoved against the glass. Outside...

Tokyo was burning.

Skyscrapers became pillars of flame. The streets flowed with rivers of lava. Screams rang out from every single possible place. A plane dropped from the sky, exploding in a bloody fireball in a park. It wasn't a city anymore. It was hell. 

Y/N saw Eiji's face reflected in the window. A brutal smile came out from between bloody teeth.

He shoved Y/N's face right through the window, and Y/N fell into the flames below.

🥕🥕🥕

Y/N woke up shaking, sweating. He threw off his blankets instantly, welcoming the cold night air.

Raising a hand to his forehead, pushing back hair, he sighed shakily. "What... was that?"

Y/N moved to do what he usually did after a nightmare. Get up, wander through his apartment in the dark, get a cup of water, walk to the window, drink it while looking out. But when he slid out of bed and walked straight into a railing, he remembered where he was.
