Katsuki stares at the devil before him, feeling his hands tremble. His breathing is ragged as he takes a step closer, bringing up his hands to strangle the beautiful man. He pushes him against the edge of the rooftop, until he's precariously leaning.

"Fall. Fall, I beg of you."

"Fall," he sobs, his tears dripping to the other's cheek, "fall, and give /him/ back to me."

The devil stares at him with wide eyes. The teardrops that cascade on his face feel warm.

"Give me back my friend."

The greenette's eyes turn soft, as he turns to look at the sky above them.

The fingers on his neck are cold.

"Shoto is not dead, dear angel. He is still near," he says.

"Liar!" Katsuki scowls.

"He is alive with only a body! His love for you is killing him, is making the heavens hate him! And he is no longer near, his heart has long been stolen by you! And for that," his hold tightens.

"I must take it upon myself to punish you."

He receives no response, only a palm against his cheek. He tenses his hands, making the devil gasp. His green eyes meet Katsuki's red ones, sees the agony in the angel's expression.

He smiles.

"Won't the heavens punish you for killing me? Won't Shoto turn to hate you?" he asks. He feels the hold on him loosen, but doesn't make a move to get away.

"...I will not mind."

"Hmm?"

"Even if he hates me, even if I am banished from the skies, I will not mind. If I can take back what you /stole/from me," he breathes a shaky breath, "I will endure his hatred."

"Even if he curses me, even if he strays away from our friendship," he pushes again.

"Even then, I..."

He feels tears flow heavier, his mind going crazy with the emotions he feels welling up inside him. He sobs, and Izuku looks at him, surprised.

His face softens with gentleness when he sees something on Katsuki's face.

Katsuki strangles him harder, eyes blocked with tears. He feels a finger wipe them away, and he looks down to see Izuku's expression.

Smiling.

"How pretty you truly are."

Katsuki gasps, deeply familiar with Izuku's gaze.

The same gaze he'd have when he was watching him and Shoto frolic in their gardens.

The same sparkle in them as Shoto relays to him stories of the both of them living their life as angels.

The same lovestruck sight he'd see when he meets eyes with Izuku when he catches him and Shoto talking in secrecy.

He sobs, forsaking the love that has destroyed them all.

"Fall. Fall, and /never/ return."

Izuku smiles, removing the hand clinging to the broken walls and lets himself drop against the ledge.

Their eyes never stray away from each other, as if unable until he hits the ground and takes his last breath.

The angel reaches out with the instinct to save, but then he hears the sickening crack that makes him recoil.

Katsuki wails, his hands covering his mouth to stop the broken sobs that try to come out.

Finally.

Finally, he has /finally/ killed the devil.

The weight of his first mortal sin burdens him.

The joy of protecting her friend relieves him.

The tragedy of realizing his first love loved him back makes him ache.

They fester in his heart, and the melancholy of it drives him mad.

A smile creeps on his crying face, as he hears the skies thunder in rage and feel his wings turn black.
