So I had a plan for April and I just realized it already was April. This is Autism Awareness Month so I'm gonna write a drabble about Harvey for everyday this month. I may update other stories but this is top priority. At the end of the month this should have a chapter for everyday of the month.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harvey, I do however own how horrible I make his life and I also own Natalie.
Harvey walked over to the black haired girl sitting with her head on her arms. He sat next to her and hesitated but eventually put his hand on her shoulder. He heard something coming from the 9 year old that he thought he would never hear. Natalie Drilovsky, daughter of the late Casmir Drilovsky and little sister of the great Patton Drilovsky was actually crying.
"Natalie, Taylor doesn't know what she's talking about."
Natalie looked up; her beautiful black eyes were swimming with tears. Saying Natalie was beautiful was a huge understatement. She was defiantly a Drilovsky. She had a cute cleft chin, a small, skinny nose, and large, oval shaped black eyes. The Drilovsky eyes were their best features; the eyes were so dark you couldn't tell the pupil from the retina. She had long dark black hair that just happened to be pulled back in a long braid right now. Unlike the dark hair and eyes that showed her Polish heritage, her light skin was different than most Poles.
"She was right though. She was 100% right." She had a light Polish accent that hadn't left even though she had move to the US when she was 3
Harvey grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him "Your dad didn't kill himself! You know that Natalie!"
Natalie dropped her gaze to the ground between them as more tears fell down her face "I was three! I don't know what I believe anymore."
Natalie stood up and walked to the side of the river they were standing at. She was a little taller than Harvey but he was getting taller as he got older. She was skinny and had long legs. It was a fact that the Drilovsky's were gorgeous. Harvey knew how much stress Natalie was under at the time. Patton's 13th birthday was in a week and apparently that meant you got decommissioned from that kids next door thing he was in with Harvey's older sister. She had also just been diagnosed with dyslexia.
Harvey stood up and walked over to her "Patton and your mom would have told you. From what they've said he was a great guy who loved you two, he would never have killed himself."
"My dad made it out of the Training Facility alive, but he went back in because some kid he had been training was stuck inside. That's why he died, he went back in and the second bomb hit and he died." Natalie was sobbing into Harvey's shoulder by now.
Harvey stood still for a moment, it was no secret he hated being touched, and it wasn't because he was afraid of germs or because he was just a brat. It actually hurt to be touched, well, by everyone except Natalie. Her touch made everything right in the world. He slowly put a hand on her back.
"Natalie, your family is one of the nicest families in this town. Polish people are known for being rude and you guys are terrible representations of that. Your father sacrificing himself to save someone else sounds more like a Drilovsky than killing himself because his kids were annoying him."
Natalie sniffed and leaned back to look at Harvey "I'm sorry I'm being a complete baby."
"You're not being a baby. This is me, Harvey McKenzie, telling you that crying is okay."
Natalie hugged the boy in front of her and they started to walk toward her house. When they arrived there, Natalie sniffed and turned to Harvey "Taylor said my good looks were stupid."
Harvey placed a hand on the 9 year old's cheek "This face is not stupid, I'm living proof because I don't like stupid things."
Natalie smiled, kissed Harvey on the cheek, and walked into the house. Harvey stood there in a trace for a moment then jumped down the three steps in front of the house and walked down the street humming to himself.
"Hang on, am I humming the Rainbow Monkey theme song!? Stop it!"
Hitting himself he continued humming it.
A lot of those are probably going to revolve around Harvey/Natalie so that's the couple for this story, other relationships are going to be Harvey/Rachel as in sibling relationship and mentions of 1/362 and 86/60. I don't own the line near the end about Harvey not liking stupid things, I saw it on a photo on DeviantART.
