A/N: Firstly, this is my first attempt at a
songfic, so please don’t go hard at me ;w;. Second, this is inspired by the
song ‘Heat-Haze Days/Kagerou Days’. It’s okay if you haven’t listened to that
song, but if you listen, there’s a better possibility that you’ll understand
(or become confused XD). For the ones too lazy to watch, well, I’ll give a
brief explanation. So Ant and Rachel were stuck at a timeloop that went around
the days 15 and 14 August. Oh yeah, the story may be a bit too OOC, but I made
it that way to match the song. Also, almost everything will be from Ant’s POV.
And I based the fanfic on Wanyappu’s PV.

Ant’s POV
While sitting in te swings, I checked my Iphone. August 15th,
around 12.30. The weather’s really nice. Like, incredibly nice. Well, except
the fact that’s it was really hot here. Well,
it’s summer after all, I thought to myself. Eventually, in the sickening
rays of the dazzling sun, I spoke to my friend, Rachel, since I didn’t have
anything else to do.
“Well, y’know, I kinda hate summer,” she boldly murmured while petting a
black cat. I looked at her, and she looked back at me. She then smiled, and my
heart kinda skipped a beat at it. Eventually, we went off the swings, and on
our way home, the cat ran away. She chased after it. I just stood there, but
then something appeared from the street. A truck. I ran after her, shouting at
her to stop, but the pedestrian light turned a glaring red, and I knew it was
too late.
The truck strucked her as she screamed. Blood sprayed everywhere. On the
truck, on the street, even on me. Her scent, now mingled with the scent of
blood, choked me. Suddenly, a guy like me appeared in my sight. He was somewhat
transparent, and reddish. He laughed, “This is all real!” And with that, like
the cricket’s sound veing disturbed, I fainted.
Ant’s POV End
Thousands, thousands of clocks
spun around. Except one. That one clock’s second hand was not moving. Suddenly,
somebody came. It was the boy Ant saw earlier. The boy, also known as Kagerou,
smeared the stopping clock with blood while running. And with that, he’s gone.
Ant’s POV
I woke up on my bed, hearing the clock ticking. I was a little stunned
for a while, but quickly came to my senses. Man, what time is it? I checked my
Iphone. It was 14th August, a bit past 12. Did I really sleep that long? I asked myself. If I do, man, I’m
such a sleepyhead! Then I heard something. An annoying cricket. Just like in my dream! I thought.
We were back in the park, Rachel and I. We were talking when I
remembered my dream. “But, y’know, it’s a little strange,” I told her,
“Yesterday, in a dream, I saw us walking in this same exact park.” Rachel just
shrugged it off, then walked somewhere ahead of me. Well, I felt a little
worried, so I held her. “Why don’t we go home now?” I told her, and she just
agreed.
So we went
out of the park. But the second she stepped off the pathway, everyone around us
looked at the sky and opened their mouths. I don’t understand what’s going on,
but I looked up too, just in case. What I saw was the most surprising thing
ever. The poles being held up by the crane towering over us were falling.
Suddenly, Rachel dashed in front of me, and the most terrifying thing ever
happened.
One of the iron poles fell on her and
pierced her straight through. The sound of windchimes (I don’t even know where
they come from) and her terribly loud ripping screams filled the space between
park trees. A familiar cat looked at her. I tried to reach out to her, but in
this unnatural scene, the same boy I saw yesterday laughed, “This is the real
thing!” I was kinda shocked to find him again, but this time, he pushed me
back. As my vision blurred away, I wanted to see you, and I was surprised to
see you (I thought) smiling.
Once again,
I woke up on my bed. Remembering what happened last time and the first time she
died, I didn’t even bother to check the time. I quickly got dressed and went to
the same park as yesterday. When I saw her on the swings, she smiled, but panic
conquered me, so I pulled her right away. When we were climbing the stairs, her
hand slipped from my grasp, and the same boy from yesterday appeared again. She
fell from the stairs, and died quickly after.
Ant’s POV End
The clocks
are now filled with reviews on how Rachel died. Stairs, scissors, even beans
that choked her, they were viewed, along with Ant and Kagerou’s appearance.
Daily doings since the timeloop started.
Ant’s POV
I viewed
the clocks on the wall. Countless times had me black out hearing that stupid
boy laugh over me. I realized long ago that this cycle had went on for decades.
I saw all the clocks smeared with blood. All but one clock, the only one that
kept going. In this kind of cliched
story, there must only be one ending, I said to myself. Beyond this repeating summer day, it has to
exist. I pushed the wall, and thought about a winter together, a winter
that would never exist.
I pushed Rachel aside, away from the street,
and jumped on the road, and at that time, the truck slammed on me. Her eyes and
my twisted body were like hazy reflections of blood that sprayed everywhere.
The boy seemed shocked, as I smiled at him and said, “Serves you right!” Then,
I saw someone just like Rachel, only she’s blue and a little bit transparent.
My eyes widened. Well, it would be a normal summer day, but it all ended today.
Ant’s POV End
There were broken clocks everywhere. Broken clocks stained blue. The
girl like Rachel, named Kaze, ran up to a clock, and hit it. The clock broke.
Meanwhile, on August 14th, Rachel woke up on her bed. She just sat
down there, not moving. Tears stained her eyes as she said, “I failed this time
too,” as she cradled a white cat. Kaze walked over to her.
++++++
Yeah, that’s it for my first
story! Yup, I know, so many POV changes, later, I’ll make it better, but for
now, this is the most legit fanfic I made. I hope you enjoy!
