The sun will rise, even when we are gone

Summary:

Simon's reflecting after a death hits him hard.

Written for a drabble challenge with the prompt:
"Great summer sun, great summer sun,
Turn back to the never-never
Cloud-cuckoo, happy, far-off land
Where all the love is true love, and
True love goes on for ever."

Work Text:

Simon’s never been a crier. ‘It’s a weakness’, his father would yell. But the bastard is long since dead, however the scars of abuse remain.

Simon didn't cry when he lost teammates, he didn’t cry when he buried his family, he didn’t cry when you stood in front of him in white. His eyes, a never-ending pool of darkness.

There’s tears staining his cheeks now, though, as he looks at the rising sun — the first one without you. Your urn clutched close to his chest. He wishes for a happier ending, one with you, one he knows he’ll never get.
