These are just really, really random pointless little drabbles. But I thought I might as well post them all in one place. And I'm sorry about the second one, but it just sort of happened. Let me know what you think? ;)
Prompt: Kate wears Rick's clothes.
The first time she wears his clothes, it's that white shirt on that first morning. It's still her favorite, the one she'll pick to wear to bed. He doesn't even wear it himself anymore, accepting that she's adopted it.
The second time she wears his clothes; it's simply a pair of socks that keep sliding down her calves as she races to answer the door on a cold Sunday morning. She slides across the polished floors like a child, hurrying to deal with whoever it is that's dragged her out of the warmth of their bed.
The third time she wears his clothes, it's a suit jacket he wraps around her shoulders as they leave a book launch. Neither of them say anything, but he smiles and she leans into him, her head resting on his shoulder as they wait on the sidewalk for their car.
The fourth time she wears his clothes, it's a whole ensemble. She wakes up naked and cold, his side of the bed empty and the sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen. So she grabs the first items of clothes she can reach, and pulls them on without really looking. She doesn't notice that she's wearing his t-shirt and a pair of his boxers until Martha gives her an odd look as she emerges in search of breakfast. She blushes, but doesn't bother to change.
The fifth time she wears his clothes is the last time that's memorable. Because after that she does it so often that single moments no longer stand out in their significance. Everything she owns is getting too tight, her shirts pull taught over her quickly expanding belly, and the buckles on her pants dig in painfully. The only thing she owns that's comfortable is a pair of leggings, and after an hour of searching for a sweater to pair them with, she gives up and grabs one of his. Pulling it over her head, she sighs happily as it falls loosely against her stomach. She wears his clothes almost every day after that. And even after she gives birth to their son, she doesn't break the habit.
