This was posted on AO3 under the same title. Enjoy!
He had appeared out of thin air.
No time to call for help,
You drew you weapon.
But it was already too late.
You were struck down first,
Trying to protect her.
She followed moments after,
Your sacrifice in vain.
As you lie there,
life force slipping away,
you can't help but think
of all your dumbass mistakes.
You should have stopped being such nookwipe when it came to her.
You should have just picked a fucking quadrant.
You shouldn't have let her get away,
but you did.
You should have kept Gamzee from going nuts.
You should have stopped Eridan's homicidal rampage.
You shouldn't allow death to take your comrades,
but you do.
You should have refused to play this stupid game.
You should have just told your pride to shut the fuck up.
You shouldn't have been such a total failure of a leader,
but you are.
But none of that really matters
as you lie on the rooftop
Life draining
mutant blood running freely.
Your voice is weak as you call her attention.
Her head shifts slightly in your direction
And you reach out for her,
Feeling her gloved hand grasp yours.
As you feel your consciousness drift away,
You take your last breath,
And utter two simple words
Brimming with all the emotion you have left in your body.
"I'm sorry."
Hi again!
This was the last piece to get posted! Now everything is caught up. I'll be releasing at least one piece once a week on here from now on. If you want to keep updated and see some other small things I wrote, follow me on tumblr: land-of-spirit-and-shadows
As always, if you see anything I missed or that should be changed, let me know! (and if you could let me know if this is K+ or I should change it to T, that'd be good too)
Thanks!
