AN: I'm back with something dark and depressing. In this flash fic, Sonic is killed by Eggman and Shadow is left to pore over his feelings in a rainy city. Enjoy the angst, and ow the edge.
Goodbye to the Sunshine
Buckets of crystalline tears pour down all around me, glistening like diamonds on my saddened face. With a heavy heart, I dry my cheeks with the back of my glove and pretend that no such thing existed. The humans around me take no notice of my despair; they're all too busy whispering under their umbrellas and glancing down the street, anticipating the arrival of the city bus. I gaze down at my distorted reflection in a puddle composed of motor oil and muddy water, all the while wondering how the hell it's come to this.
I received the news on a Thursday morning. The day had been bright, with a few puffy clouds in the sky and birds chirping happily in the trees. How ironic, considering it was the last time that I'd ever see the sun.
They told me that he died while fighting for his life. As always, he was brave, courageous, willing and able to carry on until the end. And, as always, he laughed in the face of danger, taking the possibility of death as a joke. This time, however, he had no idea what he was in for.
Just when Sonic thought he had won the battle, the Doctor brought out the big guns and crushed both of his legs so that he couldn't run away. Then he transported him back to his base, where he tortured him for hours before finally strangling him.
I'd warned him, god damn it. I'd told him explicitly that the Doctor was up to no good, that he was plotting something. But he, being the typical arrogant Sonic that he always was, refused to believe me. He was stupid enough to break his promise to me.
Reminding myself of the fatal promise that we made, I clench my fists and take a step back just as the bus comes to a screeching halt in front of me. Once upon a time, we'd both sworn to always take each other seriously. On that night, we'd exchanged binding vows of love.
On that night, I'd signed up for yet another broken heart.
