"Boone?" The voice is small and shaky. His name is spoken so quietly that it would not have woken anyone else, but Craig Boone is not a light sleeper. Once, it had been a matter or survival, but now it is just a remnant of his past.

Wordlessly, he rises from the bed. He recognizes the voice, and the emotions in it, knows that he could ignore it, but that he wouldn't be able to forgive himself. He's already failed the most important woman in his life, and he can't bring himself to let another one down. Even the passing thought of Carla makes his heart ache, but this isn't about his wife. This is about the girl standing at the door, needing someone to distract her from herself.

He opens the door just wide enough to allow his body through, then closes it gently. Arcade and Raul are both still asleep inside, and he doesn't think they need to know about this. The sadness of midnight is a private thing, not something to be shared.

Gently, he wraps her in an embrace. She sniffles, and presses her damp cheek to his bare shoulder. Her arms slide around his waist and hold him there as she calms herself. They are silent. He gives her the minute she needs to steady herself, and allows her to draw away when she's ready. Her lower lip still trembles, but he's helped her through the worst of it.

"I'm sorry," she begins to apologize, but he stops her with a finger pressed against her lips. When her eyes lift to his face, he simply shakes his head at her. Apologies aren't needed. They've gone through this before. Every time she tries to apologize for disturbing his sleep, or being stupid, or... the litany of self-criticism goes on. He doesn't want to hear her cheapen their midnights. She's worth it, and she deserves it, and her apologizing to him lessens it.

"Veronica," his voice is a low rumble as he once more pulls her close. "It's alright." She shakes her head, but doesn't argue more.

She's bared her soul to him in the past, told him everything. He simply held her and let her speak. The words had poured out, like a dam had broken. She hadn't been able to stop herself, but it had been cathartic. Now, she doesn't feel the need to speak, when she's with Boone, she can just be.

They don't place demands on each other. He could never be with another woman, and that's alright. Neither could she. It keeps things from getting complicated, makes it easier for them to bare their souls. No, he hasn't talked to her about Carla. Not really. He's a man of few words, but that's okay, too. Sometimes, words just confuse the issue.

He releases her long enough to sit, and leans back against the wall. She crawls into his lap, and tucks her head under his chin. His hands trace small circles on her back, not demanding anything of her. She likes that the best about him. Other men might try to take advantage of the situation, might imagine she was someone else. With Boone, it's clear he always knows it's her, and he doesn't want anything from her.

They stay like that for a while, until she drifts to sleep. When she wakes, she'll be in her bed, carefully tucked in, a teddy bear tucked in beside her. It always happens like that. And that's okay, too. It's part of what she likes about him.

This is sooooooooo good. Like my favorite ice cream with my favorite mixed drink sprinkled with love and everything that is good in the world.

I love this. I love Boone and Veronica, and this is so sweet and sad and awesome. Love. Love forever. <3 <3 <3

Good grief, it's like you knew this was my favorite buddy pair. After that Bait and Switch story I realized it had to be utterly true. Veronica and Boone, BFF.

They are so spot on in this. I love it. I love you.

I think the teddy bear line just about killed me. I think I need like, a 40-post fill now where you write a story about Veronica and Boone frollicking in a meadow or something.

That's the second time I've seen the Bait and Switch story referenced, but I haven't seen it yet. It's on here, right? I'll have to poke around and find it.

The teddy bear thing just...

So, I'm one of those people who "rescues" the bears as they play, and throws 'em all over the bed in the Lucky 38, and one day I came in and Boone was sleeping in the pile of bears, and since then Boone <3's teddy bears in my head!canon. So... :D

Random passerby pops up to say I do that too. NBLB---no bear left behind.

I loved this fill! I've been jonesing for something just like this for a while now. <3

You sound like such a sweet person.

And now that you put it like that, I think I'll have to rescue the bears too. Oh my.. out there all by themselves.. ;)

Here is Bait and Switch: http://falloutkinkmeme.livejournal.com/588.html?thread=784716#t784716

Thank you so much for the link!

I love the teddy bears. My very favorite is the one who's getting held up by a dinosaur. I don't remember where he is though: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541775069410336839/D4E9A7B13CB4627C3C62D2B774D078C9F25F103D/

Also, you know how you think of snappy replies later? After you've already said things, but this is anon-posting, so you can't delete it and you have to decide whether 'tis better to double post or to just hold it in?

:D

The bears have always seemed so sad and lonely out there in the wastes with nobody to love them. Think of the bears, people!

Hm. I wonder if I should post a prompt about some of the companions commenting on the courier and/or boone's thing for bears? Would it be weird to post my own prompt and then autofill it myself as a vaguely related rambling relation of my fill on someone's prompt?

(Forgive me, it's 2am my time and I'm reading "Vincit qui se vincit" which is novel-length and fantastic, but it's leading to rather silly babbling.)

Random passerby again---not weird at all. I'd read it.

Please don't mind me, just sobbing and smiling like an idiot. This is perfection, anon, pure perfection. I'll have to go get this cavity removed now, but know before I go that this is amazing and so are you.

No one objects to a multifill, ever. Especially when it's this good.

TRUTH

:D

I loved "Siesta," so I was worried about coming up short by comparison. I nearly didn't post it at all... and then I thought "eh, why not?" and now I'm glad I did because... teddy bears.

*insert gentle weeping here*

A!A, this is *gestures towards screen as words have failed her*

I love it *scurries off into corner to cry some more*

Glad you liked it, Anon. Thanks for the comment. It made my day. :D
