Okay, well a short little drabble I wrote after reading the third and final Diabolo book. sniffle I hope those two find each other in death.
Disclaimer: I do not own Diabolo or Ren or Rai. All I own is a poor, frazzled mind.
I killed you, you're gone.
Oh god Rai, I didn't think it'd be this hard, that it'd hurt this much. I want you back, even as Nebiros...
I can't take this anymore!
I want you back, Rai! I need you... I want you're arms around me, I want you to hold me to your chest. Comfort me. Tell me it's alright, that it's just a nightmare. ...Sing me a lullaby, Rai... Mother used to sing me one, when I was scared, but that was before...before it happened... I'm scared now Rai.
Lavender's blue, Dilly, Dilly,
Lavender's green...
Why couldn't we have gone the way you wanted us to, Rai? Together, on top of a snow covered mountain with you in my arms? I liked that idea...
When I am king, Dilly, Dilly,
You shall be queen...
I don't know if you're listening, Rai. I don't know much anymore. But if you're listening, there's a few things I want to tell you, things I wish I could have said before you...
Number one,
I forgive you.
I forgive you for all you've done as Nebiros. You're desires twisted with the will of the Diabolo, didn't they? I'm sure of it. You wanted to hold me after all this, didn't you...?
Number two,
I don't believe you.
I don't believe those things you said about breaking up my family on purpose. You couldn't have... No matter how much you hid from me, I remember you then, and you've protected me so much over the time we've spent together now for me to believe that. Even as Nebiros, you still, in some twisted way, tried to protect me. They all thought that you were going to use me as your replacement sacrifice. But you weren't... You said you could never sacrifice your best friend... Even though you had something else horrible in mind, was that you real self shining through?
Who told you so, Dilly, Dilly,
Who told you so?
I'm carrying Mio's limp body down now, I can hear my death approaching. Perhaps I'll see you again, Rai, and we can go to hell together. Though, undoubtibly, that is not allowed...
Ren collapsed on the ground, blood seeping out of the wounds inflicted by the policemen. But... There was something odd about it, something that may have frightened those poor policemen more then the idea that this was the headquaters of the cult, Heaven, that this was their leader. As he fell to the ground, as his life dripped away, he smiled.
Number three,
I love you.
T'was my own heart, Dilly, Dilly,
That told me so...
It's so hard to write fluff for Diabolo, but I tried to make it a little sappy at the end, did it work? And tell me if you like the song... RR!
