Title: Still Here
Author:wouldbedorothy (AHS)
Pairing: Gale Harold/Randy Harrison
Rating: PGish
Summary: 250 words. Gale's thinking too much and calls Randy. Set anytime after Natasha Richardson's death (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001670/bio).
Disclaimer: I made this up. (And I'm really fucking out of practice, lol.)

Still Here
by AHS
“Hey.”
“……”
“Gale? You there?”
“…Yeah. I’m here. For some reason, I’m still fucking here.”
“You sound a little inebriated.”
“Maybe a little.”
“And morose.”
“Just confused.”
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t have any kids.”
“Okay…”
“I’m not married, or anything.”
“Right…”
“Nobody wakes up for me. Nobody’s life… needs mine.”
“Gale… I wouldn’t say-”
“I’m not gonna win any acting awards. I’ve probably done as much- as good as I ever will.”
“Okay, that’s bullshit.”
“I can’t cook for shit.”
“What?”
“I don’t do for charities, not a lot. Not as much as I could. Foundation for AIDS Research, that’s… How much good she did…”
“Fuck… I know what you’re doing. Stop it.”
“Did you see all those names? People at the funeral?”
“Yes. It’s sad. But you’re not allowed to regret surviving, damn it.”
“I don’t. I just don’t understand. Really makes it seem like it’s just a fucking coin flip.”
“There’s no deserving to be here more or less. You were supposed to stick around, and you did… and I’m glad.”
“‘I wake up every morning feeling lucky - which is driven by fear, no doubt, since I know it could all go away.’”
“……”
“All gone.”
“……”
“I do feel lucky. I do.”
“You better.”
“Thanks, Rand. You always… you……”
“I always tell you when you’re wrong. And you’re wrong… well, often.”
“Again, thanks.”
“About lots of stuff. But, I mean in thinking no one’s life needs yours.”
“…Good thing I’m still here, then.”
“Very good thing.”
