Hello! This is my first community fanfic, also my first songfic, hope you enjoy! I am a huge Annie/Abed shipper, and I thought this song would rock with it.
I do not own Community or the song

I love you from the bottom of my heart

Abed did not know what love felt like. Not the kind that was anything apart from the type of platonic love he felt for his mom, dad, and other family…heck he could probably put Troy in that type. As far as romance goes he only ever heard about it from various pop culture outlets. He knows the entire cliché butterfly in your tummy and world stopping (or in some case spinning too fast he never got why both happened) sayings from all the characters. He never really thought he would experience it; after all, any girls that he could grow those types of feelings for always get weirded out by him and leave before he can even get his fourth "cool" out. Sure he could reel girls in, but once they realize under that quiet mysterious cover was well…him, they would pull away. Annie though…Annie was different, she treated him like a human and not some robot, she played Inspector Spacetime with him, no one role played with him except Troy. She was driven, beautiful, smart, funny and kind. He could go on, but when he thought these things his stomach would get queasy, he guesses that's the butterfly feeling, but who wants a bunch of insects flying in there anyways, he doesn't understand why people like it. He had a few more symptoms, like not being able to get her out of his head, nervousness around her and accidental staring. He asked Troy about these symptoms, and Troy confirmed that it was the dreaded outcome, he was very much distressed. Like maybe not Luke finding out his father was Darth Vader upset, but at least Cameron finding out how much mileage was spent in his dad's car upset. He did go catatonic a bit, just not as bad as Cameron. That character always made him feel less neurotic, the reason why Ferris Bueler's day off was his second favourite John Hughes movie.

And that's not gonna change but things look grim

He didn't want these feelings though, she was his friend, and the awkward "I don't feel that way about you talk" is not something you can just shake off. They would never be the same, and he didn't think Annie and him were close enough to get past that; like maybe Joey and Rachael before season 6. Besides, Annie was supposed to be with Jeff, that's what the audience demanded.
Jeff.

When I'm watching you watch him

Troy was just a faraway dream she had when things looked bleak, just a little crush that she soon got over. Jeff, he was the real deal. She still had feelings for him after everything. They were Ross and Rachael, and it really hurt when he would watch her from across the study room, and they could never meet eyes because hers were somewhere else.

I give you the best a man could hope to give, but I'm not feeling brave chances are slim

It's not like Abed was invisible, after all he gave her a place to live, the company of a best friend, a shoulder to cry on, and a show stopping kiss. Okay so he was Han Solo for the kiss, but she seemed like she enjoyed it, which means he can't be all that bad in that department. Probably would have worked better if he had could have had the courage to blame the tension throbbing in his head that initiated that and not Han Solo's, but it didn't seem to have any merit if she was so into Jeff.

When I'm watching you watch him

She got over it pretty quick though, what with Jeff always being around, making her doe eyes go wider with every sentiment he utters.

What is left to learn, when he would let you crash and burn? He never gives attention but you still yearn

Why can't Jeff stop leading her on and dropping her? Can't he see she is more delicate than that? How many promises has he left empty for her? How many times have they kissed and he takes it back? How many awkward touches, glances that he wishes to erase? Even now he sees she has trouble letting him go, just when he thinks she has stopped, he sees new evidence otherwise, whether it's a look, something she says, or what she gets hurt over. Annie is a smart girl; she can take anything she reads from a textbook and get a 100%, so why can't she get this? Jeff only gives attention when his libido lets him. He said the audience rooted for them; he never said the director had to. If only he was the script writer…

Where do I fit in?

Abed was never able to fit in. His teachers always had trouble with that, always making his parents come for meetings on how to improve his social skills. His mother couldn't handle it anymore and left, but besides that incident he's been pretty content with his life; being the fly on the wall. Who wants to fit in with people that don't understand and want him? After Annie came in his life, he really wanted to fly off the wall once in a while and be with her, but he always felt like Jeff was swatting him away. Not purposely of course, no it was a fact for him.

When I'm watching you watch him

Her eyes look so happy when they're in his…

God only knows why I still wait around, except I hate to see you cry

Abed would be lying if he said he was upset when Annie punched Jeff. He thinks it was the highlight of season two. Not the pain Annie was in though, he wishes he could magically make that disappear. Nobody saw her crying alone in the janitor's closet like he did, nobody had to go in and offer her a roll of toilet paper to stop her running nose from leaking all over her and her cardigan, nobody saw the gasps of breaths repeating "I-hate-him" over and over again. Abed would hang around her a lifetime, just to be able to make sure that never happened again.

And I need you, but there are thing I cannot do

Of course he could never actually do that, considering all he could do in that closet was pat her shoulder awkwardly and nod at her ranting. He wasn't very emotionally stable. He couldn't feel things that people could; especially since that was before she taught him empathy in that Dreamatorium.

And I want you, when he's playing all his games

Abed loves games, but Dreamatorium kind of games, or when he plays with Troy, or video games, but not the kind Jeff plays with Annie, those are the kind he wants to take her away from. To this day he still feels bad for when he played with her head in the Dreamatorium, he was just like Jeff, wasn't he?

And it gets hard to tell who's the victim, when I'm watching you watch him

Sometimes his head plays tricks on him, and he thinks Annie is giving him lingering looks, and he thinks she might be flirting with him, and then she turns to Jeff, and does the same thing, but a lot more, and with obvious intent glinting in her eyes. It hurts him so much he loses his breath a little, then he has to wonder who is the victim sometimes. She doesn't mean it, but it probably hurts him as much as Jeff hurts her sometimes.

What is left to learn, when he would let you crash and burn? He never gives attention but you still yearn. Where do I fit in? When I'm watching you watch him. God only knows why I still wait around, except I hate to see you cry. And I need you, but there are thing I cannot do

He is weird Abed, fighting against a confident, handsome guy that would be the hero of the love story; the kind where the girl has to change him obviously. Jeff is his friend, Jeff is his friend, and Jeff is an asshole. It's ironic really, both men have a hard time expressing their feelings toward Annie, yet Jeff is somehow acing being dysfunctional more than him. He thinks it would be easier if he was losing her to someone that didn't make her cry.

And I love you, like a broken record plays.

Once Abed had to deal with the fact that he loved Annie, he kept repeating it over and over again, he could never get it out of his head. He loved her, he loved her, he loved her. It didn't sound right, but there the words were, spinning in his head.

But I'm a window pane, a phantom limb, when I'm watching you watch him

He had to stop these crazy thoughts! He was on this earth merely to observe, even if the subject makes him want to rip his hair out. He is not supposed to participate, let Annie live her life and be happy with Jeff. She should really start trying to change him soon though, or this is going to get way to painful too fast.

And I'm watching you watch him.

And I'm watching you watch him.

Hope that was good, reviews make me happy inside, even if they are critical. I know I use too many commas and stuff, so sorry about that! Also the song is Watching You Watch Him by Eric Hutchinson. Also review if you want me to make a sequel that actually ends happy, because I might actually do that, I love happy endings!
