Slave of Pride DanXRuno
Chapter 2
After dear Runos death
Daniel couldn't cope without his Runo .He hasn't been social after Runos death. His cockiness, stubbornness and his friendship with the brawlers stopped, well in his mind their friendship stopped but the gang of brawlers never gave up on Dan. All that he wants is his dear Runo….. He can't carry on with life anymore …knowing she won't be there to hit him at the back of the head, telling him to not eat so fast, no future re-marriage and future children he soo dearly wanted.
His dream was to have a family in which Runo was his wife and they live in a small neighborhood with their children and a dog called scrappy…..but those dreams were now worthless to him. Knowing that it will never happen, EVER! He had no reason to live anymore. All his "Future planning" he had made, had Runo involved in it. Without her there is no more future for him.
There for he made a plan….a plan to end his life. He had it all planned out. There will unfortunately be a countdown till his life ends because the brawlers shows up every day, trying to convince him to move on with his life…but all their effort came to waist seeing that Daniel never listened to a word they said….he was always off in space, day dreaming or in a very deep thought.
Dan woke up this morning more in a happy/ bright mood for he knows it's not long till he sees his Runo again. He shaved his now prickly beard that has been shaved a few weeks ago by Julie that struggled soo since he didn't lift his head up from the pillow he dug his face into since Runos death. Dan giggled at the thought of how Julie struggled, well in that matter how EVERY one struggled with him.
Dan put Dark blue jeans on with a skull black T-shirt he had brushed his teeth so the stench of alcohol would die down a bit. Heck he was surprised he didn't die of alcohol poisoning yet. He set his digitals watch alarm and when it hits 00:00 he will be on his way to Runo. Dan went to sit on his sofa full of bear cans and wine bottle and thought back to a few hours before Runos death…..
Dans flashback
"Uggg, what ring do I get her!" Daniel shouts out in aggravation in the jewelry shop.
"Dan, you already got her a ring for your first wedding day, remember the one with the diamond in before she divorced your butt?" Shun said while rolling his eyes
"You don't understand!" Dan yelled in aggravation "I can't give her the same ring, it needs to be special" he said scanning the rest of the shop for the perfect ring for Runo.
"Listen Dan, I don't know why you are carrying on with Runo, she divorced you; just move on, I mean really there are a lot of girls I know that isn't as hard headed and mean like Runo….I can easily set you up for a blind date" Shun said as he put a hand on Dans shoulder "Give up on her" Shun whispered.
Dan violently shoved Shuns hand off his shoulder "That's the thing Shun; YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! You never married anyone. You don't understand all those emotions you feel by just getting one simple touch on the shoulder or a simple glance from 'The one'. Runos hard headedness does not bother me, it just gives me more confidence for when I'm not around her…she won't let any pervert touch her or fool her. Her meanness for me is the most amazing thing it gives me confidence by showing me that she will kick any guy's ass for attempting to hurt her if I'm not around. . Those soft pink lips and those big green eyes I love sooo.
"Dan I…." Shun started but couldn't finish because of Dan interrupting
"Now tell me, how do I give up on her or move on knowing that I'm head over heels for her?" Dan made that out more in a statement then a question.
"You are right Dan, I don't know that type of love but I hope to soon find out." Shun said lifting his eyes from the ground to Dan "What about this one?" Shun asked motioning him to the glass container, showing off a ring with a curved pattern and a yellow diamond shaped into a rose.
"Perfect" Dan said while purchasing it.
Dans flashback ends
Dan took out a Red velvet box out of his pocked that contained that 'Perfect' ring.
"It won't be long now…" Dan heaved a sigh with a smile and put the ring box back in his pocket. Not long after that the brawlers marched in but go startled seeing the sitting figure on the couch. They were all giving each other glances but smiled knowing that Dan is turning into himself again. The time to Dans death was now nearer so Dan decided to listen to them and not ignore them, it his way to say thanks to his friends for all what they have done.
The gang would make jokes about Alcohol poisoning after they saw all the bottles lying around in the house. Joke after joke, comment after comment. Dan would just nod or chuckle at times. The time finally came when the brawlers went home.
It was now dead silence in the house of Daniel. All he can hear is his heart beat thumping against his chest while he walked up stairs. He went to go sit on his bed not even bothering to right a note to the brawlers…sure they know why he killed himself. Dan kicked out his shoes and climbed under the sheets of his blanket, he took that 'perfect' ring out his pocked and opened the box containing it and placed it down on his bed side table.
He took out 2-3 that went up to 5 pills and held it in his and shaking it a bit. Runo I'm scared(he said while closing his eyes) but I know you will come fetch me….this is all for you….you are worth it. The funny thing is that I have too much pride for others to even come near me…but you are the only one that can make my pride disappear Because your…..worth it." His watch's alarm went off; he threw the pills in his mouth and swallowed it. (I put in a sonfic too just to make things more fantasy like)
Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I've never felt this way before.
His eyes began to close…. His heart beat slowing down. " wow, I…I feel weird" he said to himself as his body went numb.
The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummer begins to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know which way I've come
Dans heart thumped one last time, his last breath he let out and his smile that was visible; He is dead. He followed the white light to two paths, a black and white one but witch one does he take to get to Runo?
Hold my head inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.
Daniel smile when he saw someone walking up to him from the white light ,she was now in front of him. He smiled and just when he was about to say something, she put her finger against his lips signaling him to not talk; Dan nodded.
For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.
Until my day, my day is done.
And say you'll come, and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
They walked had in hand to the white path but stopped and turned to face each other.
"I have waited soo long to see you again" Dan said, sliding that 'Perfect ring' on her finger.
Runo didn't take her eyes off of Dan "silly man, I have been watching you all this time. You know I would always of waited for you till Kingdom comes, you didn't have to kill you self."
"But I couldn't wait till my time comes" Dan said had hugged Runo as they vanished.
In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."
Shun burst through Dans door knowing there was something up. Dan can't just change overnight. Shun broke his door in, he ran straight to Dan when his eyes fell on the open pill bottle. "What have you done Dan?" Shun whispered and started to shake Dan to wake up.
"Shun, we got you message, what's ….oh no" Alice couldn't finish her sentence when she saw shun hovering over Dan, crying.
The rest of the gang made it in and all ran over to Dans bed. Marucho took off his hat and knelt down with Alice and Shun by Dans bed.
The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummers begin to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know what I've become.
"W…why didn't YOU CALL THE AMBULANCE!" Julie went hysterical, as she dialed the number. He….he could still be alive!" She yelled as she waited for the hospital to pick up.
Shun grabbed her cell phone and press the red button, ending the call. "He was already cold when I came here, Jules. He….he's gone."
"NO, why did you end call give me the phone!' Julie yelled trying to grab the phone. Seeing as she couldn't get it she fell to her knees by Dans bed.
All they can do is stare, hoping for a small movement telling them he is still alive but no such luck.
For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you'll come and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
It was now time for the funeral. The brawlers sat in front while the priest preached. "Can the case carriers please come" the priest said signaling he was done. Shun, Ace, Marucho and Jake carried Dans case out while there was a song playing from Coldplay that's called 'Till kingdom comes'
"Funny, this song reminds me of Dan and Runo" Ace said
Shun nodded as they put the case down and joined the other that gathered around the grave. Everyone was crying while Dans case was lowered into the grave next to Runos. Shun comforted Alice, Jake comforted Julie and Marucho and Ace comforted was truly a Sad day for all.
A week has passed and the newly couple that is Shun and Alice came to bring flowers to the gravestones. "Hmmm, Runos grave says : " I'd wait till kingdom comes"
Dans says: "You'll wait for me" Shun said and in realized of something. "Hold on aren't these words the lyrics from the song that played at his funeral?" Shun asked Alice
"Till kingdom comes by coldplay" Alice smiled as she realized it. "How strange" Alice said
"Strange indeed." Shun said grabbing her hand; walking off.
