Dec 16, 2009 02:07

Title: I'll be there.
Fandom: GD.
Pairing: M/B
Rating: K / G
Summ: After Billie's father dies, Mikey is there for him.

D/c: Not mine. Not real event. Inspired by the songs Stand by me and I'll be there. Neither of which are mine.


...Omg. I still exist? What happened?! College created a wormhole which sucked me into an alternate reality in which there was no fanfiction... It was a horrible place. Winter break and it's the first time I've gotten to writing in months. Another music-inspired-spontanious fic. Sorry it's so sad. Hope to be around for the next month. <3

Enjoy

He had been crumbling for a long time now, watching his hero slowly drift away. The second the harsh sun crossed the horizon and bled it’s life onto the earth, the last of his spirit joined the heavens and Mike watched his best friend break. Billie Joe was catatonic-a walking, empty shell of a human. He wandered around for days without speaking, eating, or sleeping, simply staring at the sky, as though he were waiting for his father to come down for one more moment. Mike hadn’t left Billie’s side since his father passed. He followed the wandering boy with stinging eyes, afraid to sleep and leave him alone. Billie cried silently until no more tears would fall, and then there was silence. Mike never prompted him to say a word-never asked him questions, never spoke, never even met Billie’s eyes as he stared into the distance. But after four days of this, Michael was falling apart, unsure he could watch over Billie for much longer. So he hummed. For the first time since the news, Billie’s eyes shifted slowly into focus, zeroing in on Mikey. And the taller man sang deep in his throat, softly at first, to himself, then aloud once he’d noticed the attention. Billie rocked on his heels, fingers twitching at his sides, head tilting to the side with a shielded curiosity.
I’ll reach out my hand to you, I’ll have faith in all you do, just call my name... I’ll be there...
And Mikey’s voice cracked as Billie stepped forward into his arms, eyes shining with tears being desperately restrained.
I’ll be there to comfort you, build my world of dreams round you...
Billie’s arms wrapped around Michael with the little strength he had left, collapsing against his best friend’s chest, knocking him back against a wall.
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong,
Mike slid down the wall, holding Billie tightly as the younger clung to him desperately.
I’ll be your strength, I’ll keep holding on...
Billie’s body grew heavy as his body forced him into sleep almost instantly. Mike’s eyelids sank like iron curtains as he felt the steady rise and fall of the small body against him. Just before he drifted away into his own darkness, the last of the music spilled from his lips in a lullaby.
Yes I will, yes I will...
