Song : Save a place for me - Matthew West
Summary : Another night filled with terrified screams. Another terrible night of loneliness, of guilt. Hey, since you're in heaven, could you save a place for me ?
Don't be mad
If I cry
A scream echoed in the manor. Squalo rushed without any hesitation into Bel's room. The Prince was in his bed, in the middle of a nightmare, his face covered with tears.
It just hurts so bad, sometimes
"It cant' be possible, it can't be…" Bel was repeating those words, while Squalo was stroking his hair to calm him.
'Cause everyday it's sinking in
For how long the little Prince had been sleeping that bad ? It wasn't even a real question. For two weeks, night after night, Squalo was awaken by screams.
And I have to say goodbye all over again
Bel had never been good with farewells. He never liked to let go.
You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off your shoulders now
"Ssshhh… You know, he's freed of what he hated the most in the world, now…"
I'm dreaming of the day when I'm finally there with you
The Prince relaxed a bit, but Squalo had the feeling it was more because the dream had become calmer than thanks to his words.
Save a place for me
I'll be there soon
"I'm coming…" Squalo held tighter his grip. It was out of the question that Bel would join him.
Save a place for me
Save some grace for me
"Shishishi… Don't have too much fun without the Prince, okay ?"
I'll be there soon
I have asked the questions why
The day of the funeral had been really difficult. Bel didn't stop asking why, and nobody could answer him.
But I guess the answers for another time
The only thing keeping him relatively sane was this will to understand. He wouldn't let go before he understood.
So instead I pray, with every tear
Yes, he was praying, praying to find every culprit in this story he was going to slaughter them all.
And be thankful for the time I had you here
Of course, Squalo knew that every two days, Bel escaped the manor to place a bunch of white lily on the same grave, to which he talked for a long time.
I wanna live my life Just like you did
Bel woke up and whispered. "Squalo ?" "Yes ?" "I'm going to live my life fully. He did so."
Make the most of my time Just like you did
"Glad to hear that. Yes, enjoy your life, kid."
And I want to make my home up in the sky Just like you did
"Do you think he'll save a place for me, up there ?"
Oh, but until I get there...
"You'll see when the time comes, Bel."
"That's true… Until I get there, keep well…"
Until I get there...
" Mammon. "
There we are ! I hope you liked. If you did, if you did not, if you didn't understood a word, if you're bored, if you have plenty of things to do... Whatever, please, just leave a review !
Oh, and I'm hesitating about writing, maybe in a 2 or 3 shots, Mammon's suicide, in front of the whole Varia, unable to do a thing. It would be a kind of prequel of this songfic. I know it probably didn't happen like this, but I like the idea... So, what do you think about it ? =D Would you be interested in this kind of story ?
