Rick's Lament
A songfic based off of the oldie, "A World without Love," in which Tinsel has deep feelings over Rick's losses from the last 150 years. This was centered around the events from Ikran's all-time favorite episode, Lap 8, of the anime.
It all started when Rick was lamenting over Haruka and his lost past. He soon went to the Falcon House and discussed his tragedies with Burt, who closed up the diner to allow them some private time. Rick went over the events from 150 years ago, when he was severely injured by Zoda. Burt said it must've been a huge shock when he woke up. Jody and Stewart said Rick had been asleep for a century and a half, but he denied it as he wanted to run to Haruka again at Memory Park. When he got to the Brooklyn Bridge tonight, he can't get Haruka off his mind, and he's not sure if he wants to even if he knew how. Burt assured it hurts and he needs to let it go. Rick was in anger as he can't forget what Zoda did to him, resulting Rick losing everything.
Unbeknownst to them, Tinsel listened on all of Rick's angsts, and she slowly trodden to her machine. She then tuned into her audio Blu-ray to an oldie, A World without Love; a song she grew up with and can relate to Rick more with each line. She then stopped at home as the number ended, then she vowed to herself to care/protect Rick till he's healed. On the day they both recovered from the scrimmage by the Skull and Miss Killer, she sworn to do just that!
Lyrics[]
Here are the lyrics for the oldie done by Peter and Gordon, A World without Love, symbolized in this fic.
Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
So I wait and, in a while,
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I'll know
So baby, until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
(Instrumental break)
So, I wait and, in a while,
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I'll know
So baby, until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
