Connor forced a cheerful smile and told Abby what she wanted to hear.

He'd been a fool, the kiss changed nothing.

It had only been a reward for not telling on her brother.

Not what he had hoped, and still hoped, it had meant.

Connor turned his head and closed his eyes. How much longer could he continue to lie to himself?

To her.

That all he wanted was her friendship when in truth he wanted far more.

Far more than Abby seemed willing to give.

So he lived a lie.

It was better than not having Abby at all.

*Huggles Connor*

You've really nailed that weird relationship between them!

*jumps - that was fast*

Connor needs to be huggled (lots n'lots)

*blushes* glad you think so.

Oh the poor thing! God, I just want to bring him home with me and make him cocoa, and tell him it'll all be okay.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I was mean to him. *sends him around for the cocoa*

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I wish things didn't have to be this way :(
Excellent drabble.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

So do I, I blame TFWIC.
Thanks.

[talliw.livejournal.com]

Poor Connor. I wish TFWIC, er Abby would make up her mind finally.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I totally agree, TFWIC should make a decision about Abby and Connor.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Awwww! *pets poor Connor*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks and Connor needs to TLC.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

That's an excellent description of their relationship.
Poor Connor.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, good to know it worked.
*hugs Connor*

[fredbassett]

Very nicely captured.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it was the first one that occurred to me with this prompt. Thanks again for the beta.

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

:'( Yup, you've got in one (hundred) I'd say! Nice job.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Poor Connor would prefer something to nothing, I think. *poor boy*. Thank you.

[prehistoriccat.livejournal.com]

Poor Connor, but this is sadly so very true :( They need to either put these two together properly or let Connor move on and have a proper love interest that isn't a spy

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I agree, it's not doing either of them any good as characters. Thanks for the comment.

[bella-farfalla.livejournal.com]

*sniffs* Oh Connor. Abby is meeeean.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*pets bella and passes a tissue*
TFWIC are the mean ones!

[x-bellaitalia-x.livejournal.com]

Ah, you've harnessed their relationship perfectly here. I really do think they need to get this whole Abby/Connor thing sorted out in the show.

Poor Connor :( *hugs him*

Very nicely done.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*blushes* You think so, thanks. TFWIC do, but I doubt they will *sigh*

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

waaaaaaaaah! *cries* *huggles Connor tight*

Poor Connor, that was so sad, and so perfectly right for the way he behaves as well.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*passes deinonychus a tissue* Connor needs the hugs.

The prompt just worked so well for Connor, I really can't think why else he'd put up with it.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Poor Connor! Something has to give in that relationship, it really does!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Something has to happen. (although whether TFWIC will do anything is another question). Thanks for reading.
