Yesterday's episode (because Britain is behind :( ) got me round to finally writing something for this category, which I've been meaning to do since the show began x I think that will be a series of short connected drabbles x I hope you like them - please read and review to tell me :)
Skye feels the tears start to trickle down her cheeks, even as she tries to suppress them. She supposes it doesn't matter as much though, because she's seen A.C. at his low point, so maybe him seeing hers is just fair.
Through the haze of pain she feels his hand descend on her shoulder, while he continues to tell her what is breaking her heart.
She appreciates the fact that he thinks she deserves the truth and she's glad to hear it, but right now it's too much.
Right now she just wants to curl up into a ball and pretend that the world doesn't exist, rid herself of all her treacherous tears and hide them away in her pillow.
The second she feels his hand move from her shoulder she smiles weakly and goes to do so.
She's glad that she doesn't see anyone else from the team on the way to her bunk. She's shown enough weakness today and already appreciates the effort that Coulson has put in to making the bunks sound-proof.
When she shuts the door she slides down it, forcibly barring anyone's entry while she breaks down.
In the end she uses her hands to stifle her sobs, rather than her pillow.
