Summary:

The first time Misty catches herself watching Natalie she is only very young.

Do they feel your anger and know?

Misty has alot of of favorite music and she loves birds. She has no friends but she likes to think about it. She liked it when she didn't really care to have friends and wasn't lonely and jealous.

The first time Misty caught herself staring at Natalie she was only very young. So most of what she was feeling was definitely jealousy. She thought she was very pretty though. Prettier than Misty. Prettier than most girls in their class. Most. Not really Jackie Taylor though. Not other girl in the school was. Not even some of the older girls. Some were prettier though, They were only in the third grade after all.

Jackie was friends with many but best with Nat and Shauna. They all lived next door to each other. Misty watched them in a way she didn't know was weird and off putting yet. She was filled with jealousy and want. She wanted to be their friend too. She wanted to live next door. She wanted Natalie to herself. How was it very fair Jackie had two best friends? I mean Shauna and Nat weren't best friends with each other, they got on, but they were best friends with Jackie individually. Misty didn't think there was anything wrong with that exactly or anything wrong with Jackie that made her undeserving.

She just didn't really fully get what was wrong or different with her. Other than her address of course. She only lived a few streets over and when she turned 9 or maybe double digits (her mom would decide when the time came) she would be able to walk by herself over there. She knew her mom didn't like the trio and wouldn't want her daughter seeing them. So she would do it when she Could be alone. Maybe with her older brother. He would take her and not say anything. Maybe Jackie had an older sister for him. Or brother. Misty is already kinda good at reading that kind of thing. Doesn't take much at 8 actually.

Still, how exactly is she so bad? Would the girls even like her next year? what? was? wrong? with? Misty?

She would ask dad. Mom wouldn't agree and would just try to reassure her. She needed dad.

Misty wandered upstairs and though she knew it was the time of day to keep away Misty She bravely ventured up the staircase. Big and wooded. She had her bed and playroom upstairs so why couldn't she go by herself anyway?

Misty got closer to her dad's worky room and strange feelings were picking up in Misty's chest and she was starting to feel moist over her body. Sweating, sweety. Misty exclusively heard her mommy's voice in her head.

Sweating. She was scared like when the lights get turned off and she's still wide awake. Sometimes her mom doesn't see that she's still awake and she leaves. Misty won't be a bother so she just sweat, sweat, sweat. Her chest goes Thunk, thunk, thunk. Mom hasn't taught her this feeling. New Things and especially new feelings are scary for Misty.

But she pushes on and opens her dad's door.

He looks surprised but isn't busy

“Hi, baby.” He smiles warmly at his daughter. She's not in trouble.

“Hi daddy.” Misty closed the door behind her and still feels pretty shy.

“What do you need?”

“Why am I different? What makes me weird? Why Am I like that?”

“Oh.. Misty…” her dad looks disappointed…. Oh no.

“I'm sorry.”

“No it's okay, Misty. You're not in trouble.”

“Okay.” Relief Immediately washes over her.

“You're right. You're weird Misty. I don't know why.”

At the time Misty was just grateful for the confirmation, but later she was quite hurt her Father thought that about her and possibly didn't even know why. Even at 8.

“Well okay. What exactly makes me weird?”

“Well, for one the way you talk Misty. Your strange interests. How easy you cry at odd things. I'm sorry honey” thankfully her dad did look quite apologetic.

“It's okay dad.” Misty was quiet.

She hated Birds. She hated her favorite music. Stupid weird Misty Q. She might hate herself and she's furious.

—

The next time Misty catches herself watching Nat is the year following. She is older and her mom thinks she can walk a few streets over only. Trusting her to make good friends. But she gets there and….

Natalie is moving out. and fast. Shauna and Jackie are holding each other, sobbing as they watch Nat move stuff out with her mother. Where's her dad?

Honestly Natalie looks annoyed and is rolling her eyes every few minutes…. Is she mad at her friends? Yes. Yes she is.

Today seemed to not be the day to join the trio. The trio didn't seem to have much longer of a life unfortunately. They were all nine now, but getting separated. Do they know if a few short days their worries and fears will completely divulge and change as Nat moves up through life? Nat is in fear now, but hiding it. Misty isn't able to do that but she guesses she can watch and see when someone else does. Nat does a lot.

Misty watches Nat because they are both the same and Misty thinks She's secretly one of the few that can really get what Nat is fearing and going through. Sadly enough.

Misty watches.

—

When Misty watches again they are in middle school. 8th to be exact. Now she knew staring was weird and creepy, got her called a Lezzie by certain girls. She was careful and normal now. Not how she was a few years back. She plays soccer now.

They are in AP language arts together. Nat is reading her writing aloud. She isn't embarrassed of it yet. Later in her teen years She becomes much more closed and protective of her writing, possibly because she became more serious and truthful to her own thoughts.

But now Misty watches as she reads out. Everyone does, but somehow Natalie doesn't even notice. Just lost in her own writing and thinking people's looks are just because they're good at listening. But it's mostly just her.

Nat fnishes and Misty stops herself from clapping. That's weird Misty.

“Misty, I think it's your turn, yes?” the teacher looks at her expectently

Oh god she only wrote about Natalie. A girl. Lesbian activities For sure.

“Okay…” Misty was quite she and quickly noticed Nat staring at her. Smirking. Was she making fun of her? In her head?

Nat looked down at something. Was there something on Misty's mouth? When nat looked back up and met her eyes she. Blushed? Maybe.

“Bleary eyed and smudged kohl.

Bright and loud and angry

many feel your anger, but Do they?

Do they feel your anger and know?

Waiting to speak

‘Is it better to speak or to die’

‘Til love gives in and speak’”

I repeat to myself thinking.

Scratchy and rough

Scarred insides and regular edges

I watch and I know how I am.

Do You?”

She is done and they probably all think she's a lesbian. So why not stare. She watches Natalie and somehow the other still seems stuck on the poem. On all those words. How whenever Misty said a quote or took a pause, her eyes would find their way right to Natalies. It was very strange but Nat thought. She didn't hate it and certainly didn't hate looking at Misty Quigley.

"Wow, what is that called Misty?"

"Uhh angry smudged eyes."

Misty and Nat are still watching.

“You like the emo boys, huh Quigley?” They break Eye contact and everyone laughs at Misty. This group may be immune to seeing anything Misty does seriously. Sad. That poem was really nice and Nat liked it. The Teacher wasn't paying attention and will probably follow whatever grade the class gives.

The bell rings.

Nat meets Misty after class and talks to her for the first time. Very sweetly.

“I really liked your poem, Misty. You didn't deserve that grade….” suddenly Natalie felt hot and nervous and watched By Misty. “Um.”

Oh my god Misty Quigley made Natalie Scatorccio blush. They both seemed to realize at the same time. Nat was So red and she never felt so embarrassed. Because of… Misty? And her pretty poem?

Abort! Abort! Abort!

Nat couldn't think and that scared the shit out of her, so she just ran. Ran away from Misty. She let her know her feelings so she didn't feel too guilty.

—

Misty watched Nat again during soccer. High-school. She was so good. Unlike Misty. After middle-school, Misty never made the team. She suspects not only was she bad, but unlike all the other girls; she never hit a growth spurt again after 8th grade.

So she just watched. And mostly Nat. She is very different now. Bleached hair. Tall. Even more beautiful. She's so good at soccer.

Misty was an assistant-assistant coach and felt Close to the assistant coach Ben. But that was just her. He mostly put up with her and lightly pitied her. She thinks she mostly wants to be close to him because he's Gay. What is it about soccer? Coach Martinez, are you next? Maybe she should ask him about her Nat-Watching. Gay, right coach? She laughed to herself.

But Natalie played beautifully and kicked and ran up gracefully, Misty could Watch for hours. But the mean girls kept asking her for things.. Over and over. They expected her to listen.

Which she did. Even if She didn't want to.

“Hey Quigley, can you fill our bottles? We're just really in the zone. Thanks.”

She did already have them in hand before they finished.

“Misty, no. They can do that themselves. Make Them.” Natalie almost came out of nowhere. It scares Misty, but she welcomed the quickened heartbeat.

“Well…” Misty began handing them over and the girls took them back reluctantly, almost fearful of Nat.

“They're your under classman, Quigley. Show them.” Nat was staring the girls straight in the eye. Unmoving. They were definitely scared.

“Please just show me some resect Next time. I'm happy to help out… Don't want to just stand around all day… You know....” Misty paused.

“Staring at Scatorccio?” it was the blonde underclassman.

“Uhh..” oh shit, caught. Misty coughed and frozen. “No it's just.”

The girls grinned and started heading to fill their water and Misty looked at Natalie, Who herself looked a little shocked.

“Bye, Nat.”

Misty ran away.

—

When Misty is next staring at Natalie she is scared shitless. Their plane is crashing all that's going through Misty's head is.

God, Nat is so pretty. I can't believe I haven't told her yet….

Because she does look pretty even with the plane crashing down, even when she's crying and scared. That look is one Misty wouldn't fully ever see again.

Nat does Not stare back i. And then everything turns dark.

When Misty is back in herself again the plane is crashed and coach Ben's leg is gone. She did that. Blood is on her face.

But she saved so many fucking people.

Misty Quigley is totally fucking awesome. She heard them say so.

—

Next time Misty fully and truly stares at Nat and sees her is the winter. She is so hungry. Looking at Natalie, she knows she is too. She's staring back. Eyes very intense and piercing. How does she see me? How can she? Why only her? She can read my mind, Misty thinks.

“We need to go hunting, Trav…” Nats Voice is horse. Quiet, but so loud in the silent cabin.

Misty was apparently hostile because she felt almost territorial over something that wasn't hers. Fuck. Off. Tavis. You are the bane of Misty Quaigleys whole entire existence.

“No more. All game is gone, Natalie….” he had said her pretty name with so much venom Misty almost let herself get angry. Misty would never. If she ever had the privilege she would say Natalie so sweetly and beautifully everytime. Because that's. What. She. Fucking. Deserves. Travis.

They need a feast. They are dying. All of them. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

When Jackie dies Misty truly doesn't know what she's supposed Expect. Just another burial.

But it's different with Shauna to account for. Does she watch Jackie like Misty does Nat? Or did she more like. She hopes she never has to talk about her feelings for Nat in the past tense. Even when they are rotting she will still feel. It is so strong.

Shauna is with her in the shed for a few days.

Then they ate jackie.

they were so hungry. Okay?

—

Next time Misty watches Nat wholeheartedly is when they're hunting her. She felt so sad when she drew the card…. But she was so hungry. She wanted Nat and Something To eat for so long. Nat drew the card and Misty wanted to Rip her own insides Out and feed them to nat, just so she would have enough energy to fucking run.

But she didnt need it. There was no time anyway.

Misty hoped she found the energy herself.

And she did. And she was so good.

And Javi took Nats place.

And Misty was the first to rush foward and Shout

The wilderness has chosen.

Because maybe she wasn't hungry enough to eat her Natalie…

Maybe she was hungry enough to eat a kid.

Thank you and I'm sorry Javi. Thank for Saving Nat and us.

I'm sorry Travis.

And honest to God, I'm sorry Natalie. This act alone might kill a lot of her.

—

One of the times she watches Natalie Again is when she is telling the full truth. How she feels. How thankful she truly is for Javi.

And she tells Natalie about the transponder. Because She finally has to fucking tell someone. She murdered for it but she's willing to lose what she has for Natalie Scatorccio.

“Fuck you! Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you, Misty” it actually hurt lot even if she knew it was coming.

"I know, I know i know i know. Believe me, I wish i could undo it--

And she hits her.

And She just wants to be hit again. She really does deserve It again. And she wants it. Natalie Will never forgive her and will never. love. her .

Natalie isn't nice anymore.

Natalie doesn't defend Misty.

Natalie just watches Misty get taunted.

Natalie doesn't feel. Anything. There.

Natalie will never be her friend.

And suddenly Misty feel 8 years old again. She has lost Nat.... they are out six months later.

—

The last time Misty Watches Natalie is when she is watching the light leave her eyes. They are much older now and Natalies light is quickly leaking out. And Misty. Misty is confused how all of Natalies life force is just all over her shirt and hands.

Misty just wants that to stop. All of that. It's not. What was supposed to happen.

Oh Natalie.

She looks fine with Misty being the last thing she see before she dies.

But maybe that's just the drugs she's injected into her.

She's glad it's her that killed her. She's glad it didn't hurt and honestly she was glad Nat was on drugs. In hindsight at Least.

She watches as Natalie's body Is driven away in the ambulance and she never does again. She supposes.

How odd…

When she's gone too she hopes some of whatever worms eat Natalie eat her too.

End.

Listen by dykediaz118/timbert | 759 word | rated G |

Summary: 8x17 buddie ficlet from Eddie's pov. A little grief thrown in as a treat.

Listen to me....

Hear me, Buck.

Sometimes it didn't make sense to Eddie how dense Buck could be. How he could really make so many situations about himself. And yeah. Some of what he said was wrong and cruel. It's not fair to downplay Bucks struggles like that.

He was just so mad. Buck didn't make things about himself in any malicious way and he certainly wasn't narcissistic about it. He just always found a way to blame himself. Make himself the problem. Was that easier for him to cope with? If the big issue is always just him?

It killed him to watch Buck just casually be so cruel to himself. He made it all about him and had a one track mind when it came to self blame and it pissed Eddie off.

Why can't you just see yourself the way I see you, Buck?

Maybe Eddie should be more compassionate. No Eddie needs to be more compassionate about this. But it's hard when it feel so fucking easy for him to see Buck as perfect. So why is it so hard for him? Why is it so hard for him to belive his own mask? It didn't come out as often as when Eddie first met Buck, but he had a mask that showed only confidence and belief in himself. It was convincing and made Buck look like a dick. But it wasn't this.

He just wanted Buck to just think about how he might be hurting. And he was in some weird Buck way, but he didn't really talk about it. That also made Eddie angry. He wanted him to listen.... He wanted him to hear.

“You don't think I did everything I could to save him?”

Of course he did. He knew the second he got the call. He knew if this ever fucking happend, Buck would fight tooth and nail to save Bobby.

But Eddie was angry. So he didn't say that. He didn't correct Buck. Because he was doing it to himself again. Making himself the problem.

“I don't know, Buck. I wasn't there.”

And he walked away. Because maybe he would say worse.

—

Bobby saved Eddie. No doubt. He saved so many. It was wholeheartedly who he was. There was nothing that could pull that out of their captain.

The massive hole in Eddie's heart just got ten times bigger and he honest to god really believed it wouldn't. He thought he was used to it. Maybe the pit would stretch and be sore, but it would go back to how it was. But no. It was just bigger and more achy.

Eddie knew he'd get used to it, but he wasn't ready for that yet. He wanted to hold onto the pain a bit longer. He would let it go and smooth out for the sake of himself, Chris and all around him. But this was how he grieved.

For the first time in a while though, he did find himself talking and praying to God. Who he wasn't even sure he believed in, but it made him feel connected to Bobby. It was a new realization that some people hold onto and talk to God just for that connection to another person. And that's how it was for Eddie.

Of all the people Eddie lost, this was definitely the most calm loss and hurt he has ever felt. Which honestly wasn't saying much, but he had Bobby to thank for it. How could someone make you so calm and steady even when losing them?

Well. Not calm and steady. Calmer and more steady.

—

“of course i'm coming home.” His son was looking at him through the screen like he was stupid.

Home?

Eddie quickly brushed off his excitement to continue the conversation

“I knew you'd say that.” Eddie smiled as he moved from his spot on the couch. Getting ready to write Buck a note and go and pick up his Son and bring him…. Home. Non freudian slip.

“Well, Buck needs people. He's not himself…”

See Buck, even his son saw it from hundreds of miles away.

So Eddie was off to bring his son home.

—

Buck was smiling. Fully smiling. Not just for Christopher, but because of him.

Eddie certainly also felt warm inside for the first time in a while.

And Tía Pepa has a talk alone with Buck. Buck is much more smiles at Eddie specifically after that too.

Something felt different. There'd been a change?

A good one.

Eddie was good with that.
