you are my sunshine (motherfucker)
The events of the night all blurred together as he knelt beside Bastion. They had been having a decent time, drinking and avoiding the rest of the world together. Though they didn’t talk much, there was still a sense of camaraderie between the two as they drank from their individual glasses. For a moment, Eugene might even say he was happy.
And then that moment ended.
He knew from experience that stabs to the stomach were painful. He also knew that one as deep as this was not likely to be recovered from. Still, he wasn’t about to give up without a fair fight. “Hey, come on, you’re gonna be fine,” he says, the palm of his hand pressing firmly into the wound, trying to slow the bleeding. “It’s just a scratch.” Despite his attempt at calming words, his eyes remained wide and his voice wavered every so often.
“Maldito bastardo, don’t give up yet.” Yet even as he spoke, he could feel the other growing weaker beneath his hands and watched the light slowly fade from his eyes.
He stays there for a while, numb with shock over what had just transpired. It isn’t until he feels a tugging on his arm that he’s brought somewhat back into the real world. Staggering onto his feet, he reaches into his pocket to find a handful of gold coins. He placed them into the hands of the person closest to him. “Make sure he gets a proper burial,” he demands, before walking out of the small tavern.
