Graveyard Song (Mellow Musician x Reader)

Requested by Juliawolfangel14

I discovered this song, fell in love with it, and gave me the idea for this particular oneshot with the Mellow Musician! This is going to be a lyrical kind of story, but the words relate with it.  

After the death of your dearly departed love, you wanted to sing one of his songs in memory of Mellow and to show that you are ready to move on.

Key things : 

(Y/N) is your name. 

This takes place in the start of the Darkstone era (prince slowly becomes corrupted king, kingdoms aren't doing great). This connects with the chapter 'A path paved in darkness', but you don't need to read that one to know what's happening in this story.

"Mellow! You're going to be fine!...GET OFF I NEED TO SEE HIM...! ...MELLOW, PLEASE! WAKE UP!..."

"MELLOW!"

You winced at your own screams from the memory that flashed before your eyes. 

It had been months since your boyfriend had died. 

To you, it felt more like yesterday. 

It was supposed to be a joyful day in the Village Theater. Performance leading his group to what they need to do. Modest and Storyteller rehearsing their dances and lines. Frantic painting backgrounds and creating props. And your beloved Mellow tuning and playing his electric guitar. You would come over and listen to him practice, even playing along with him. He was the one to teach you guitar after all. 

Just before opening night even started, a group of maniacs terrorized the village. They had set fire almost everywhere, including the village theater. Many people were injured at the time, some even passed away. 

And among that group of unfortunate souls, your Mellow had joined them. 

The strong and putrid scent of the smoke was still prominent in your memories. In the wreckage of the theater, Mellow's body was found underneath the wooden planks. He had badly burnt by the fire and was crushed from the sheer weight of the falling debris. He wasn't able to escape in time.

Your eyes could not rip away from him. You wanted to hug him, kiss him, tell him that everything will be alright. Anything just to be with him again. The others held you back, while you were screeching and kicking to get to your beloved. But deep down, you knew he couldn't hear you and that he was gone. 

His death destroyed your entire world. Mellow didn't deserve this. You and him had plans for the future, your whole lives ahead of you. Dreams now shattered. 

"(Y/N)?"

You looked up and saw Frantic. "Oh, hi. What's up?" 

"You're about to go on soon..." Frantic replied, scratching the back of his neck. "Shoot, you're right! Thanks for telling me." 

You got up from your seat with your guitar strapped on your shoulders. Peeking from behind the curtains, you saw that there was quite a lot of people outside. It made you nervous at first, but you saw Performance, Storyteller, and Modest in the crowd, which made you feel a little better upon seeing them. If only he was here. 

Frantic walked and stood next to you. "Hey, are you sure you want to do this? Things have been really hard on everyone, including you since, y'know..." You knew he meant Mellow's death. Your grip on the strap tightened, but you wouldn't allow yourself to break down. You set your hand on Frantic's back and patted.
