Just a short Shelkero song-fic, nothing much. It is from Shelke's pov, and takes place after DoC

I was listening to the song my Immortal and was inspired…

Have you ever listened to music and just started seeing an AMAZING scene from a story you are writing/are going to write or what might make the most awesome beginning to a game ever? That what happens when I listen to music…

So yeah…

DISCLAIMERS: I do not own anything FF related (except for copies of the game) or My Immortal by Evanessance


I sat silent and still in Tifa's bar, thinking about the things that have transpired over the past few months. Why do I feel so out of place? Why do I feel like something is missing?

I ask myself this, even though I know the answer.

I miss him.


I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my

Childish fears


Nero…where are you now? Are you dead? Or did you somehow survive?

I could have sworn I heard your voice just now…whispering quietly.

Why do you have to torture me like this?


If you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

Because your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone


Cold fingers brush against my arm.

Is this my imagination? Or is he really still there…looking after me…

It hurts. Is this just what my mind wants me to think?

Why won't you just leave!


These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just to real

There's just so much that time cannot erase


They always tell me…that with time I will heal. They say that…I will be able to leave my past in the past…but no amount of time will ever heal this hole in my heart.


When you cry I'd

Wipe away all of your tears

When you scream I'd

Fight away all of your fears

I held your hand through all of these years

But you still

Haunt me


I tried so hard to make you feel better…I hated to see you cry…to hear you scream… I always wanted the Restrictors to die…

I could feel his head next to mine, him running his fingers through my hair, trying to speak, but he couldn't

I felt tears start up in my eyes, but I held them back.

I wouldn't cry.


You used to captivate me

And now you resonate in my mind

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind


At first I was just interested in him. Nero was always rather intriguing…

After a time, our bond grew…now…why are you here?

It feels like I am the one being bound in a straight jacket and muzzle…not you…why are you still here?


Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me


I see you in my dreams Nero. They are more or less nightmares though…every time you leave me in the dark…You would whisper those few words that I never wanted to hear…your last words to me…

'I don't love you'


These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just to real

There's just so much that time cannot erase

If you don't love me…why are you here? Just to torture me…to father me on my path to my Imminent demise?

When you cry I'd

Wipe away all of your tears

When you scream I'd

Fight away all of your fears

I held your hand through all of these years

But you still

Haunt me


I miss you...but I cannot take this. I feel your hand caressing my face, and I can faintly feel Oblivion lapping at my arms and shoulders.

Why do you do this to me?


I tried so hard to tell myself that your gone

But though your still with me

I've been alone all along


I tried convincing myself that I didn't care that you died.

I told myself it was natural, that you would've died anyway

But now…you are right here…but you aren't

You loved me at one point Nero…I think…you said you did…


When you cry I'd

Wipe away all of your tears

When you scream I'd

Fight away all of your fears

I held your hand through all of these years

But you still

Haunt me


I miss you…I now felt tears running down my face.

Nero moved away, Oblivion's cold feel with him, but he leaned back to my ear.

"I never meant it, Shelke. I just wanted it to be easier for myself…"

And with that, he faded away. A small smile spread across my face.

Nero…

"Thank you."


This was my first actual fiction from Shelke's pov, and my first Shelkero, and my first Songfic!
