Missing You
Lal Mirch visited his grave for the 2nd time that month. She couldn't shake the fact that he was dead. She accepted it but she couldn't shake the feeling that he would pop behind her and laugh his ass off while she screamed out of surprise and then attempt to beat him up with her brute strength alone. She wouldn't allow herself to cry here in front of him. She had only cried in front of him once, and that was after he had said the lamest thing in the world. So why? Why did those words still echo in her head? It was like he would never leave her thoughts as long as he was there.
Sorry. I wanted to save you in a much cooler way.
Lal shook her head and placed a hand on the tombstone, "No Colonello… you saved me from a fate more horrible than death" She blinked back tears. She told herself she wasn't going to cry and she was mentally kicking herself right now for crying. What the hell. She couldn't do this. It was stupid and she didn't want to cry in front of him of all people
So what are you going to do now? She had yelled at him. Her tiny baby form had supported her voice at the time, Me? I'm going to live, kora.
Lal had stared at him as he said that. He had looked away and was pretty sure he looked cool for saying it. Lal thought he looked cool. He was going to do something the rest of the Arcobonello's would never dream after this fate. Much less live it out.
Will you come with me?
Lal had gotten frustrated and flustered when he said that and she told him off, he just laughed like the idiot he was and he turned away and walked from her. While she held her hand out and couldn't do anything to bring him back
"Neh Lal, why you looking so glum? Kora." Lal spun around. That voice she would never forget that voice. She would kill herself for this later but she let the tears spill over as he laughed at her. He came forward and patted her head as she cried for him. Just this once she would show weakness in front of the man she'd take a bullet for
"W-what the hell is wrong with you?" She asked the boy and he just laughed and wiped the females tears. The touch of his hand was there. His voice was real, his scent from how close he was to her. She wanted to cry some more but again he wouldn't let her live it down. So he pulled her into a hug and she felt the clothes against her warm wet face. Her cheeks were painted red and her eyes were red from crying. She buried her face in his shirt and held him tight
"I missed you Lal" He smiled half heartedly and kissed the top of her head and she bit her lip hard holding back the tears of misery.
"Colonello… " She sniffed and looked at him closely. No… he was fading… NO! She held onto him tighter, "Why are you leaving me again?" She didn't want him to leave so soon. She had just gotten him back. Colonello smiled softly.
"Lal… I saw you crying and I couldn't leave you like that kora" He touched her cheek and placed a kiss on the cheek he wasn't touching, "I can't leave a pretty girl to cry kora" he gave that cheeky smile of his and she shook her head, "I have to go, I'll see you again" He looked down at her pacifier… the curse was taking place again. "Sooner than you think Lal…" He sadly smiled and pulled her into a kiss as his form and figure faded away
"I love you…" She whispered into the wind
I love you too silly girl, kora!
