Title: Run Rabbit Run
Fandom: Of Mice and Men
Summary: Lennie's thoughts after screwing up again.
Notes: Contains spoilers for major plot events.
Lennie just never got it. Like he never got it back in Weed, like he never did good enough to make a good enough a living to stay in one job more than a few months at a time.
It had happened again and again, and George weren't around to help him right this right now.
He looked down at the tiny little thing with its broken neck and soft hair and why did he keep on petting things? George always hated him so much; and now he's done gone killed 'em, but all he wanted was a stroke and it just looked so peaceful like it was asleep, but not breathing.
Maybe death's like that. Maybe death is just falling asleep and forgetting to breathe. But why's everyone so afraid of it? He would usually ask George things like that, but George would just go yell at him again and make him feel bad...
He gone done it twice tonight. Twice! Curley's wife was always sure nice to him, George kept telling her to keep away from him and she didn't listen, and he always told Lennie to keep away from her an' all because women like her are trouble, but he didn't listen either and now she was causin trouble and they were gonna have to move on again...
George always told him that if he cause too much trouble he wouldn't let Lennie pet the rabbits none, which made Lennie sad but they never even had any rabbits yet, but he done bad this time so he probably never would... George always made things right in the end, he'd make things right for Lennie, wouldn't he? But he was gonna be so mad at Lennie for screwing up again, like he gone done in Weed but this was worse and he didn't like it when George was mad at him, because it made him think George wanted to leave him to rot, and if George left him, he didn't know what he'd do and that scared him, even more than Curley scared him... Curley was probably gonna be as mad as George when he found out Lennie had done busted his wife's neck
He couldn't stay there. George told him where to get to, to get by the river, back where they set up camp that night, in the grasses where they hadn't got no beans... George would find him, George would make things right.
Lennie, scared, ran away for the plains of Soledad. He hoped it wasn't too cold out there, and there were rabbits for him to watch. But he wouldn't touch 'em this time until George told him it was okay.
