Spoilers: TrustNo1, and nearly everything else that happens before

Summary: Reyes reflects on Doggett, Scully and herself
Author's Note: Azar wanted me to write a Yves 155 but Reyes is talking right now, and I write about who's talking at the time. This is for the HaremXF 155 word challenge. It has not been beta'd, as my XF beta reader is in the process of moving.




Everyday, I watch my best friend struggling in a job he does not love, and I always ask myself why. Why does he stay in this job that does not interest him? He was offered the chance to leave once, but did not.

I know he does not stay for my sake, although a part of me wishes that were so. He stays for her--she who is his queen.

He stays... and desperately tries to gain her approval. To earn her love. But her love belongs to another. One who is absent, but will never be forgotten. He knows this, and yet he still labors to be her comfort. Her rock.

For my part, I tire of watching him waste his life on an unrequited love. I have tried to tell him so, tried to convince him--with steadfast friendship--to give up on this hopeless crush.

Like his, however, my efforts are futile.
