Run
Andy & Nick
Her feet slap heavily on the wet pavement, a muted sound compared to the heartbeat pounding in her ears.
(a cold storage locker, death around her throat, hot air on her face, rage against her skin)
She can't feel the cold as she runs, the rain having seeped through her sweater several kilometers ago and chilled her skin.
All she can feel is the wind whistling through her lungs.
(and the nightmares in her mind, vivid and haunting)
When a second set of footsteps falls in next to her, she doesn't bother looking over, knows exactly who runs at her side.
(dead soldiers and explosions, fire and sun and blood and hot sand, the ghosts of friends continue to haunt him)
They may not share nightmares, but they can carry the weight of them together.
Together Nick and Andy run in silence, the presence of a friend enough to help abate the things that lurk in their personal darkness.
A/N: Welcome to this collection of lil ficlets; all will be smaller than 500 words.
I'm using this as a place to collect both half formed ideas and tiny oneshots.
Will feature most characters from the show, with a mixture of relationships as well, depending on both my mood and what the plot bunnies have come up with.
Enjoy!
Hearts always, A.
