Relationship: confession
Ship: smg34 / a tiny bit of Meggy x Tari
~~~~~~~~~
"All signed!!"
"Poyo!"
Meggy was trembling uncontrollably on her hands and knees, her heart beating frantically in her chest. She knew she was too late.
They lost.
The pack of people was eerily silent, and nobody dared to speak a word, as the reality of their loss slowly sank in. It all felt so surreal as if they were living in a dream.
"It's over."
A dead drift was felt as every one of Smg4's friends slowly one by one went brain-dead and collapsed to the ground, eyes rolling in the back of their heads.
Then his main friends were next.
He watched in horror as Saiko, Tari, Smg1, Smg2, Melony, Karen, and—- it was too much. He couldn't even keep count as everyone with no warning dropped dead.
He looked behind him to see Mario, Luigi, Boopkins, and Bob. They must have known it wouldn't affect them so they took cover on the outside, helplessly watching all of their friends drop. He heard a sad moan from Meggy, which made him notice Meggy and Smg3 were the only ones still standing.
"T-Tari.... *sniff* I'm sorry..." Meggy said as some tears ran down her freckled cheeks.
As Meggy looked at Three, she could see the sadness in his eyes. His face contorted in pain, and he struggled to catch his breath. Three's knees began to buckle, and he slumped down, grunting in agony.
Suddenly, Four snapped out of his shocked trance and rushed over to Three, who had been their friend for over a year. Since the incident that brought them together, Three and Four had become in their way, inseparable. However, Three never seemed to give signs to reciprocate Four's feelings.
But now, as Three lay dying in Four's arms, tears streamed down his face, and he could no longer hold back his emotions.
"No- no no no- please stay awake- w-we can figure this out! We- we have done so much! T-there has t-to be a s-solution. *sniff* please don't-"
"Smg4, it's- it's okay."
"N-NO ITS NOT OKAY!"
"..."
"ITS NOT GOING TO BE OKAY THREE."
"MEGGY AND I WERE TOO LATE."
"AND EVERYONE IS PAYING FOR IT. A-And it wasn't even Meggy's fault, it's mine! I could have done this quicker!"
"I- I can't live in a world like this without- any of my friends!"
"..."
"I-I can't live like this without you."
With three fingers tightly gripping Four's hand, he exerted all his remaining strength to pull himself up into a weak embrace. Wrapping his arms around Four's neck, he whispered shakily, "F-Four... it's not your fault. It was nobody's fault."
His breaths came out in shudders as he continued, "Thank you... for letting me in, and allowing me to be a part of something I never even dreamed of being a part of before. I never had actual friends till now."
"But... you.... You have never been my friend,"
"W-What?"
"Because...I...liked....You...........too."
His voice trailed off, and his grip on Four softened as Smg4 could feel Three's arms slump limply over his shoulders.
There was no point in asking if he was there.
He wasn't.
Four summoned all the strength he had left and carefully moved Three flat on his back on the ground. As he struggled to soothe himself, he felt a wave of emotions rushing over him again. He held Three's limp hand desperate for something to help. He even tried his meme ability to see if it could just 'wake' him up as if it was all just a cruel joke, but that quickly was crushed as he couldn't find the usual connection that triggered their meme energy altogether. He tried to hold back his tears, but when he saw Three's white eyes and motionless face, he couldn't help but break down.
With all his efforts to remain composed, Four's sobs echoed loudly through the heavy depth of the area. He hugged himself tightly, still on his knees, knowing that the others could hear the depth of his pain. He didn't care if Lawyer Kong was watching from the side with a satisfied look. Lawyer Kong had taken everything and mostly everyone from him, leaving him with nothing but fear and uncertainty about what was to come in the next few hours.
He felt a soft touch on his shoulder that made him suddenly flinch like a beaten puppy. Then he saw the traditional red.
"M-mario..."
The Italian didn't take a second to hug his best friend as he was full of tears as well. As Four was hugging Mario he noticed poor Luigi, Boopkins, and Bob with their heads low with sad and confused emotions on their faces.
Then he looked over and saw now Meggy's limp body crumbled on the ground.
His channel—no.
His family was gone.
