Disclaimer: Characters aren't mine…
A/N: I can't seem to get this pairing out of my mind! I've been wanting to get a story down about them, but I've been working on some other stuff. So here's a little snippit.
She runs her hand through blonde hair as she stares into blue eyes. It's not the same blonde hair. This is more of a dirty blonde, not near as shiny, but just as soft. They're not the same blue eyes. These are darker, not as sharp, but they're just as warm.
"Am I a substitute?" Kathy asks as they study each other.
Olivia raises a questioning eyebrow. "Am I?"
She knows she's not her partner. There are too many differences, gender being the main one of course. Her eyes are a dark brown where his are blue. And of course her hair is longer, fuller.
But being a substitute isn't always about likeness. Sometimes it's just about having someone there to fill the empty void. Someone to hold you through the long, lonely night. Someone to care.
Kathy closes her eyes and rests her forehead against Olivia's before whispering, "I don't know."
Olivia simply nods her head, because of course Kathy doesn't know. In all honesty she doesn't know either.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" Olivia asks after Kathy opens her eyes.
A deep, full kiss is her answer.
