AUTHOR'S NOTES: Okay, so it's not really a drabble (I have a problem with word
limits ;) ), but it's not really an actual fic, either. *shrug* Call
it what you will.
*smooches* to Vicki, because she said she wanted
something involving teddy bears. Granted, she wanted it to be
happy, but ah, well, what can you do? *g* And also, *smooches* to
Red, for not murdering me after reading, and for beta-ing :)
She'd always told him that, when she was younger, she had never
liked getting teddy bears from the guys she dated. She would grow
attached to it, then something would happen between her and the guy
and they would break up, leaving her with a stuffed animal that
would bring back memories she'd rather forget.
So what did he do? He bought her a teddy bear -- built it himself,
at a "Build-a-Bear" workshop. It was a testament that nothing would
go wrong...he had no intention of making that bear something she'd
want to forget, something that would go in a closet and be
forgotten, or worse yet, something that would be easily given away.
The bear was placed on the table by her bed. It stayed there, until
she died. And then he was left with just the bear, now on his
bedside table, and memories of what they shared in their short time
together. Although it was painful to think of them now, he knew in
time it would be different, that he would be able to look at that
bear, hold it close (it still smelled like her) and think of all the
good things they'd had.
