( Sam Singing to Darlins Tombstone ) ( Grief )
(Sam died ) ( Flashbacks ) ( Have you ever seen the rain creedence Clearwater revival cover ) ( Sam died protecting Tank from Quinn)
(Angst)
Look up the last of us cover of this song by vannesa YT that’s the cover Tank sings in this fic and how I envision they sound when singing
The porch of the house laid empty no sound of boots no laughs simply pure silence the sky clear with a forecast of light showers .
Tank stared at the Tombstone the words etched Sam Collins with dust beginning to build up they started to wipe Sam’s grave cleaning it
Tank : “ you have always taken care of and looked out for me and I said I would do the same for you “ Tank said softly with they’re voice beginning to tremble it’s been a year yet the grief still stings
( Flashback )
Sam died protecting Tank from a bennet vampire and the memory traumatic etched into Tanks mind the same man who loved them laid on the ground covering his chest that was pooling red with blood with one hand and with the other he reached out for Tank who was waking up from being knocked out .
minutes passed before Sam mouthed the words I love you to them before their eyes closed and they let out a long sigh The body laid limp
Tank shook of their weak body and crawled to Sam’s body even looking at the dead bennet vampire Sam killed simply doing what they knew best protecting their Tank protecting their darlin
Tank : “ Wake up Please Sam” Tank begged and pleaded with tears in they’re eyes
Tank held the limp body begging pleading for any God any divine presence to give their mate third chance at life that it wasn’t Sam’s time yet to which silence was the response .
Tank looked around the old abandoned Church pleading at the statue of Jesus that Sam could just wake up Tank stared with grief as the statue of Jesus simply stood the Tear on the statue the detail almost made it seem like the Divine figure felt sorrow for Tanks loss too
Tank looked at the tombstone and back to the guitar they brought it was very old and had lots of scratches sure Sam didn’t play since he was human back then but kept it in hopes of playing for tank one day and now tank will be playing for them how the turntables like a slap in the face from the universe .
Tank : “ Someone told me long ago there is a calm before the storm , I know it’s been coming for some time “
Tank : “ when it’s over so they say it’ll rain a sunny day I know shining down like water and I wanna know have you ever seen the rain ? I wanna know have you ever seen the rain ? Coming down on a sunny day “
( Flashback )
one of the first times Tank was kissed by Sam came during a light shower near sunset his lips soft everything felt peaceful tank remembers it clearly they wore Sam’s flannel that day .
Tank : “ yesterday and days before sun is cold and rain is hard I know been that way for all that time till forever on they close fill the Circle fast and slow I know it can’t stop I wonder “
Tank : “ I wanna know have you ever seen the rain ? And I wanna know have you ever seen the rain ? Coming down on a sunny day coming down on a sunny day “ Tank played the last notes on the guitar the metal ringed
Tank kissed Sam’s tombstone staring at the picture of the vampire tears welling up before it eventually came down
Tank : “ I’m not much of a singer you know that “ they said to Sam wiping away tears the closest thing tank got to hearing Sam sing was him humming the song future days from Pearl Jam and then the song 500 miles from Peter , Paul and Mary
Tank wept for a while the sky while still keeping its sunset orange glow was now paired with a light shower of rain for a second it felt like Sam was there with tank again like he too wept and missed their mate the rain a reminder of Sam a comfort cause he would always stay by the porch watching rain
Tank : If it’s you out there making it rain Sam thank you tank replied to the sky softly wiping away the tears tryin to remember the times Sam did his best to put a smile on his mates face this felt like those moments
Ghost Sam : “ Lord I’m One , Lord I’m two Lord I’m Four , Lord I’m Five Hundred miles from my home “ ( home is their mate ) Sam wasn’t there physically yet he insisted his energy stayed around Tank protecting and loving them even in spirit
