You are my Sunshine
Her voice was quiet; he wasn't sure if he was even actually hearing it or if he was imagining it.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine…You make me happy when skies are gray…."
This song…it was one that she had taught him. He couldn't recall exactly when she taught him it, or who had been the one to teach her it. He was positive it was one of the humans, either John or Jade. It seemed like a song that they would know, sappy and cheesy. It was probably John that taught her it.
Either way it didn't matter who had shown her it, but she sang it all the time. She sang it to him, for him, and she was always requesting for him to sing it with her. She seemed to want nothing more than to duet with him.
"You'll never know dear….how much I love you…"
Naturally every single time she asked he had refused. Why would he ever sing, especially with her, or such a lame song? What a fucking stupid idea. Where did she even think of it? Did somebody suggest it to her? If it had been a suggestion then it was probably John, the boy seemed to be behind everything that bothered Karkat.
"Please don't take my sunshine away."
As his gaze was glued to the young troll lying on the floor, in a pool of her own olive blood, he couldn't help but feel crushed by guilt. This was his fault. That girl he had known, one of his closest friends – not that he was willing to admit it – was only a shadow of who she had once been.
"The other night dear, as I lay sleeping."
Her pain was clear in her voice. How was she even singing at this point? It didn't matter. He moved slowly, or at least it seemed slow to him. Kneeling beside her small form he reached out and grabbed hers, holding it tight with his and interlacing their fingers.
"I dreamed I held you in my arms…"
He slowly moved to lay down beside her, smearing the image she had painted with her own blood. It was better to have the real him laying here next to her instead of that painting….right?
As he stared at her, he didn't know which was
