The Good Boyfriend, Zoldyck

Misaite decided to die.

As a world-famous actor, he believed he deserved a perfect death worthy of his status. On a friend's recommendation, he contacted a renowned family of assassins. The assassin who took the job was Illumi Zoldyck.

After offering a price no assassin could refuse, he got the assassin to agree to arrange his death.

Illumi asked him what he wanted. Misaite thought for a moment, then said, "I want to fall in love before I die."

Illumi stared expressionlessly at his employer. "Please be more specific."

"Love me, stay by my side, then kill me."

*The twilight deepens, the evening bells ring, and the church's hymns play for me. The stars blaze across the world. Life is red blood, death is blue darkness. In this drifting world, the corpse embraced by an assassin's love is me. -- An Actor Named Misaite Decides to Die

Reading tips:

1. This is a short, non-commercial story, written in a burst of enthusiasm after Togashi resumed updating. It's very out of character, very out of character.

2. The protagonist's thought process is a little messed up. In other words, he's crazy.

3. It's a romance. I originally wanted to categorize it as a comedy, but I was afraid my sense of humor might be unusual, so I've classified it as lighthearted instead.

Theme: Finding yourself again through love.
