Author's note: My RL was pretty weird as the due date for midsummer_santa got closer and, to be honest, my mind wasn't really on it. But I wanted to write something and so this developed rather quickly and when I sent it off it hadn't been read by a beta and the person I usually test my stories

*Claps* Just lovely! And while it's not a relationship I'd seen in the film before, it *works* especially with what we know about them.

Maybe there are a few more things he needs to tell Carol if he wants to set things straight.

*Adores*

Poor Buddy. He's just so closed off, even from himself, and this highlights how it's been a constant pattern to his life. Thank you so much for this; it's poignant and tugs at my heart, and leaves me hoping that one day, Buddy will come to terms with himself.

thanks for the comment and i'm glad you liked it. i've never been one for many words, i like to condense everything to little scenes and i didn't know if this would work but apparently it does.

[stormymouse]

thank you!

I never saw this in the film, but now that you've written it, it happened for me. This is painful, but in a good way.

Aww... poor Buddy. Poor Duck, at least until he got Dan.

[stormymouse]

yes, even though duck is the one who's abandoned buddy is the one who needs more comfort in this, i guess. thanks for commenting.
