I have seriously lost count of how many songfics I've done in a row. Actually this is the fourth (I wrote two for my Hetalia oneshot book plus the one I just wrote for this book)
Spoilers for The Cosmic Turnabout! (Dual Destinies Case 4)

"I'm sorry but I will be taking a leave of absence."
When those eleven words came out of Apollo's mouth, we were all in shock. I was hit by his leave worst as I'd had a crush on him for ages and hadn't had the courage to tell him.
"Can you at least give me a reason why?"
"All I can say is this is something I must settle alone," With that said, he made for the door. Athena was going to run after him and stop him but I grabbed her arm before she could, "Let him go. He'll be back I know he will. This case is just hitting hard for him."
"But, isn't it hitting hard for you as well?"
"Yes but, right now, I care more about Apollo than myself," I replied looking down slightly before walking over and looking out of the window sighing. I was truly alone now; the two most important people to me, Apollo and Clay were gone. I started singing softly to myself.
"Why should I play this game of pretend?
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
Such a great son and wonderful friend
Oh, don't the tears just pour."
I felt the tears falling down my cheeks but I just left them; I'd tried to stay strong and I just needed to let out my emotions.
"I could curl up and hide in my room
There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow
I could give in to all of the gloom
But tell me, tell me what for."
I walked over and curled up on the sofa, into the tightest ball I could. I just kept letting the tears fall not caring if anyone saw me.
"Why should I have a heavy heart?
Why should I start to break in pieces?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?
I will sing no requiem tonight."
I continued to sing, my voice starting to break at points due to my crying.
"I gave you the world, you threw it away
Leaving these broken pieces behind you
Everything wasted, nothing to say
So I can sing no requiem."
I then felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Mr Wright there, smiling sadly.
"I hear your voice, I feel you near
Within these words, I finally find you
And now that I know that you are still here
I will sing no requiem tonight."
Athena then came over, giving me a hug and digging her head into my neck. I was happy they were here to comfort me.
"Why should I have a heavy heart?"
"Why should I say I'll keep you with me?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?"
I looked up and wiped my tears away.
"I will sing no requiem
Tonight
'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep
No one lights a candle to remember
No, no one mourns at all
When they lay them down to sleep
So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
After all you put me through
Don't say it wasn't true
That you were not the monster
That I knew
'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark."
"I will sing no requiem."
"I will sing no requiem."
"I will sing no requiem tonight."
"Oh... oh..."
"Oh..."
"Oh..."
The minute we finished, both Athena and Mr Wright, tackled me in a hug, "Don't worry, (Y/n). We'll get through this. You'll get though this."
"Thanks, Mr Wright."
------------
"Hey, (Y/n)," Apollo spoke running his spikes. He'd now discarded Clay's coat and the eyepatch, as well as the bandages.
"So you leave the agency because you were affected by this when you knew that that case was harder for me, leaving me to deal with the grief on my own and all you have to say is 'Hey'?! I can't believe you!" I cried, tears running down my face. I turned away, "Why? You know, Apollo, I-I've had a crush on you for a while but, now, I don't know."
"(Y/n), I'm sorry!" he responded grabbing my arm, "Please, forgive me? I wasn't thinking! I-I love you, (Y/n)! Please!"
I pulled out of his grip before turning to him and grabbing his collar, kissing him.
"Good," I spoke letting him go and resting my head on his chest as he was slightly taller than me, "We'll get through this together."
"Yes. Together. Forever and always."
"Forever and Always.)
