I was lonely, and you helped with it

Summary:

"The universe is no longer interesting for Aha"

Elation and Sadness are two sides of the same coin, and sometimes, you can't choose the side you want.

Notes:

Best read with THE LONELIEST by Måneskin in the background.
Lyrics in quotes from the song.

Work Text:

"You'll be the saddest part of me

A part of me that will never be mine

It's obvious

Tonight is gonna be the loneliest"

 

The Death of an Aeon is something almost unheard of, but, as all things, not entirely impossible to come across.

If only, if only you were not part of the statistic, if only you were not one of the Aeons lost in time even when your memory remains with us.

Why?

Tell me.

Why did it have to be you?

Out of all the other ones, the boring ones, you were the one that deserved it the least.

Out of all the hearts out there, why did it have to be Aha the one affected? 

That is not fair… and this is not fun.

 

"You're still the oxygen I breathe

I see your face when I close my eyes

It's torturous

Tonight is gonna be the loneliest"

 

It does not matter how much time passes, I don't ever want to forget the most beautiful smile and the heartiest of laughs.

Because even if Aha doesn't need it, breathing has become heavier now, and I want it to stop…

Aha wants it to stop, because Aha knows it won't get better with time.

Maybe I fell too hard, or maybe too soon, or rather… not soon enough.

I wanted to have more time with you.

 

"There's a few lines that I have wrote

In case of death, that's what I want, that's what I want

So don't be sad when I'll be gone

There's just one thing I hope you know, I loved you so"

 

The poems you left me are still in the Express, but I don't dare touch them even if they are for me.

I don't think I will ever be able to contain my sorrow if I read even one of those words.

And I don't want to die… someone has to carry your wish, someone who saw the craziest parts of you, someone who saw the deepest part of you.

Loving me was enough, because no one else did.

Caring for me was enough, because no one else did.

Because Akivili loved the Nameless, but they also loved Aha

Akivili… loved everyone, and Aha.

 

"'Cause I don't even care about the time I've got left here

The only thing I know now is that I wanna spend it

With you, with you nobody else here

Tonight is gonna be the loneliest"

 

Cruel.. So cruel to promise Aha an eternity and then don't last one.

Akivili is selfish, and Aha is sad.

What is Joy without a heart but an empty laugh?

I don't like empty laughs.

Aha doesn't want to be an empty laugh.

Sorrow is just another side of elation, but I don't like to be on this side that much.

It’s not fun to not be able to choose sides.

And Aha… didn't choose this side.

 

"I'm sorry but I gotta go

If you'll ever miss me give this song another go"

 

Will hearing your voice make everything better?

No.

It doesn't.

It doesn't help at all, because the only thing that will make Aha happy is seeing you.

Fuli won't give Aha a memory bubble… that old Aeon is a cruel one, they were never fun.

Akivili was the only fun one.

There is no fun now.

 

"And I just keep on thinking how you made me feel better

And all the crazy little things that we did together

In the end, in the end, it doesn't matter

If tonight is gonna be the loneliest"

 

We joined paths so many nights.

We were one so many times.

We soared among the stars, one beside the other.

Yet it feels like it was all in a second.

Aha needs a light, but the only Shooting Star I care for is no longer here.

The Joy needs Adventure to keep things interesting.

The universe… is no longer interesting.

 Not for now.

Because Aha was lonely, and you helped with it.

Notes:

Yes I am crying (again)
Ahavili fans wont let Ahavili fans rest from this doomed relationship and I am no better with 3 straight back to back MCD fics, woops.
My brain chose one hell of a muse but I am but a mere mortal, think of me as an emanator.
This fic is part @S4ffi_'s (twitter) fault, but I have to accept no one should leave me alone with my thoughts and a song.
Anyway! Same as always, twitter is @ElationOfAha but I keep writing sad stories about them, I promise I will bring something soft or spicy next, spare me only for this time 🙏
