Dead!Collector AU
TW: mentions of $uic!de
The scream shook the entire isles. Eda being the one to hear it the loudest; watching King scream and cry while clinging to Collector's lifeless corpse hurt her soul. "C'mon buddy..you gotta wake up..please.." King cried out, gently shaking Collector's body in desperation to wake the fallen star. Eda wiped away her own tears with her hook "King..they won't wake up...you have to..you have to let go of him.." she said; trying to hold back her own tears. The young Titan looked at her "no!! Collector's just sleeping..!! He..he's just sleepy.." he sobbed, despite knowing Collector was dead. He didn't want to believe it; even if King had watched as Collector plunged the spear into his own chest, he refused to let go and tried waking up the star-child. Luz sighed quietly and picked him up "I know you're sad buddy..but you have to let Collector go...they're dead..." she said, holding the titan close. King gave up and just sobbed while looking at the lifeless body of The Collector.
It had been months since Collector's death and King was still not doing so well; only talking to Eda, Raine and Luz but even then the young titan didn't say much. "Hey king...I found this letter he wrote..I think it's best you read it.." Eda said, passing a purple envelope to King with a sad look in her eyes. King sighed softly and opened the envelope, reading the letter Collector had written.
Dear King,
If you are reading this then I am most likely dead. I'm sorry I couldn't keep our promise but I simply could not handle the guilt of everything I did anymore.
In our room located in the Archives there's a fox plushie; I want you to have it King. As a final thank you for always being so willing to help me.
With love, your best friend Collector ♡
King started crying halfway through reading it, running out of the house and using Owlbert to get to the Archives. Eda watched with a worried expression before she also read the letter. Deciding to let King go get the plush fox instead of sending Raine after him. She waited for around 25 minutes before King returned; not only with the plushie but also wearing the matching clothes Collector had given to him 3 years ago. "Mama..I'm gonna take a nap.." King mumbled as he walked past Eda and straight upstairs.
