Beboptober Day 28: Missed Connection

Thanks to @thestarlightsymphony for the prompt list! I know I’m SUPER late on this one...so late, in fact, that it’s not even October (or Beboptober) anymore! Sorry about that—college has been busy. But I WILL be finishing Beboptober—I’ve gotten so far; I can’t give up now—and to prove it, I’m publishing TWO fics today. You can read my fic for Day 29, Butterflies, right here!

Sometimes, in the night, in fleeting moments of melancholy, Spike thought about Rocco.

“I wonder…if I had met you earlier in my lifetime…do you think that we would have been friends?”

The words he’d uttered in his last gasp, that Spike had briefly heard as he ran to get a doctor in what turned out to be a futile effort, stuck with Spike. They posed a question he wasn’t able to answer.

Maybe, if they’d met earlier, Rocco’s fate would have been different. Maybe they would have been friends, and Spike would have had a mentee—the kid had potential, after all, and passion. Maybe he would have been able to save his sister, and she would have been able to see him with her own eyes.

“What was he really like?” Stella had asked as Spike left the hospital room.

“You know better than anyone,” he’d answered. “Without looking. He was a terrific guy.”

So many missed connections. Missed opportunities that would never be again.

But Spike usually shut the thoughts down as soon as they’d come. He was no stranger to loss. And he knew better than anyone that there was no point dwelling on the maybes.

That one had to instead drift through the world. Be fluid, just like water.

"In this life, the one we live in now. On the Bebop. Where you have a bounty on your head, and I’m running from a past. But we’re here, with a mutt I hate, a kid I hate, an old man I hate, and you, a shrew woman...I hate. I- realized in this life that this is– was the one I took you the most for granted. You were, no are, so close to me, but I’m the one far away. Why couldn’t I hold you in this life? Whereas in the other one I held you so close, but you were taken away from me so soon...m- maybe that’s why I held my dreams so close. Because in all my lives and parallel universes I could never have you. Maybe that’s why I kept you at arms length, because even I know we can’t reach that happy conclusion in this universe. But my heart belongs in all the ones where I met you and despite thinking of another, you never left my mind, nor did my heart ever become devoid of you."

     "Why are you telling me this now?"

  Spike and Faye meet. But according to fate, it's three years too soon.
