[ filtered to the Who-crew and open to Bucky ]

Rory's gone.


[ Okay nobody panic, Rory's coming back. But Amy doesn't know that. So, have some denial and an obligatory sex post, really. ]

bucky. do i need to give you lessons?

voice

[waitedforyears]

[ because it's Bucky and he already knows, Amy's okay with calling him instead of texting, which is, right now, the only way she can deal with the network. ]

You're supposed to type a message before you hit send, you know.

[ aiming for light and teasing. Probably off my a mile or so, but... trying. ]

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

Huh.

I thought I had. Hell, I don't know how these things work.

[ A pause. ] How y'feelin' today?

voice

[waitedforyears]

[ pause. ]

Not great. Dunno.

I'll be fine. [ LIES. ]

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah, sure. Fine.

[ He doesn't believe you, look at that. ] Anythin' I can do?

voice

[waitedforyears]

Just--

There's nothing I can do to get him back, 's there? He's just gone.

Again.

[ Another pause. ]

At least he's not dead this time.

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

Don't mean you're never gonna see him again, Ames. You just need to stick it out, is all.

voice

[waitedforyears]

Yeah.

[ and again, a little stronger: ] Yeah, okay.

[ It's just that-- Rory was supposed to be there. Always. ]

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

I know it's hard, sweetheart. But ain't there a chance he'll be back?

voice

[waitedforyears]

You. [ There might be a frown, or a pout in her voice. ] You're too good at this. How can I wallow in misery when you're all reasonable?


[ yes, bucky, that's a thank you. it's heartfelt. ]

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

Guess it comes with the territory. 'Sides, somebody has to be.

voice

[waitedforyears]

What territory's that? [ She wants to say "gay friend territory?" but she's not quite sure she's up to the joking and teasing yet and that is a somewhat sensible topic right there. ]

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

Well, I'm you're friend, ain't I?

voice

[waitedforyears]

'm not sure, let me think on that one.

[ ... you're the first person she told that Rory was missing. What do you think, bucky. ]

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Laughing. ] Oh, you're real nice, you are.

voice

[waitedforyears]

It's part of my charm.

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

Uh huh.

voice

[waitedforyears]

Now I'm hurt. You don't think I'm charming?

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

Well, maybe a little.

voice

[waitedforyears]

Good.

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

So we've just established you should listen to me always, yeah?

voice

[waitedforyears]

Nope.

voice

[yourbestguysgun]

You're a hard one to please.

voice

[waitedforyears]

'm worth the work, though.
