Everything won't be the same🦉Haitani Rindou🦉

-Sequel to Bonnie & Clyde-

-Unedited-

Inspired by the song Arjuna Beta by Fynn Jamal - The song is about a mother (the singer herself) singing about her son who was sickly at the time. Since in the previous oneshot, Bonnie & Clyde, Ran & his lover are no longer, I head canon that Rindou would sing a song(lullaby) that Ran used to sing to him any time Rindou had nightmares. So, instead of 'mother' & 'son', it'll be 'brother' :) After all, Ran always looks after his dear precious younger brother, no?

Rindou's pov 

It has been a few months after their death. The room has never felt so empty before. Looking around my brother's room, I stopped to look at something that caught my eye. Placed on top of the bed side table, was a picture of Ran-Nii San and I back when we were younger, about 10-11 years old. Picking up the frame containing the picture, I sat on his bed as I reminisced the exact event that happened when we took that photo. Ever since our parents had passed, I had horrible nightmares almost every night that arose. Nightmares that I never wanted to experience. I remember how Ran-Nii San would quickly get out of his bed and come running to my side to comfort the screaming, wailing child that was me. Losing your parents at such a young age could really affect you and your way of thinking. I feared that those who I love and cared for most would leave me like my parents- Abandonment issues so to speak. That is why, when my brother jumped off along with them, my heart sank and shattered into a million pieces. It felt as though a part of me had vanished completely. (Play the music above^-^) He knew my fear of people leaving me, he promised he'd never leave my side. I am not angry at him though; I could never be angry at him. I was only disappointed that he chose his lover over his own blood brother. But I can't blame him, he loved them with all his heart, I saw how happy he looked with them.

"I won't let even the storms to startle you that is sleeping.

(Even) the striking lighting come,

scorpions and snakes,

Brother* won't back off,"

(Takkanku biarkan walau ribut menyentakmu yang tidur 

Datang petir menyambar

Jengking dan ular

Bonda takkan berundur)

"Sleep peacefully my dear brother*, 

Just dream of beautiful things,

Later when you open your eyes,

Everything won't be the same,"

(Nyamanlah Arjuna Beta, 

mimpikan yang indah saja,

Nanti bila kau buka mata, 

Semua tak serupa)

Singing under my breath, I remembered how he used to help me sleep peacefully after those nightmares by singing me this lullaby. It was the same lullaby that our late mother used to sing to us before she was no longer on earth when we were only 4 and 5 years of age. Ran Nii only changed the original lyrics from "mother" to "brother".  Smiling sadly at the picture in hand, I didn't realize the tears that was dripping down from my eyes. Quickly wiping away the tears before any of the Bonten members barged themselves into my room without permission, I took a deep breath. I really hope they're happy together- even in death. As childish as this may sound, maybe they're both watching over me, acting like my very own Guardian Angels'. 

Putting down the framed picture, I laid down on my bed, face covered with my right arm draped over it. 

"Is this what they mean by Crime and Punishment? That doing all these crimes, we'd eventually suffer the consequence of our actions towards the lives of innocence by being a sacrifice for the world to be a better place, with no evil tainting the world, only peace and serenity throughout the lands. No man would use you; no man would fill the streets with blood and agonizing screams. A world doused entirely in tranquility with no worries and fears whatsoever. No trauma, no deaths..."

Snickering at what I've just said, I uncovered my face. Have I officially lost my mind? Maybe, but haven't I already lost half of my own sanity the very moment I've involved myself in a criminal organization? Much less an executive in this organization. 

I can no longer enjoy life the way I used to. Everything won't be the same, it can no longer be the same. Without my brother and parent figure, how am I to enjoy life? Taking those pills from Sanzu would have benefitted me right about now. No, I shouldn't. I'd rather be saner than that pinky- addicted to drugs and Mikey. 

Staring up at the ceiling, so many questions flooded into my head, memories replaying like a broken cassette tape, trying my best to not ever forget their faces like how I did with my own parents. 2 years after their death, I couldn't remember their faces, I didn't know why but... it frustrates me how I can't remember the ones who had raised me and my brother. The two people I hold close to my heart. I don't want that to happen to Ran Nii and Y/N. They're both practically my parent figures. I don't want to forget their faces, I don't want to forget all those moments we three shared together, and moments brother and I went through our whole lives.

But I guess...although it won't be the same, I'll have to live on. For Y/n. For brother. Please...watch over me, will you? I'll live for you both. I'll always remember you, in heart & in memory. Until I meet you again...
