Lassiter and Yellow
Yellow is a symbol of new life and is energizing and stimulating.
The first word that comes to his mind when he meets her is yellow. It's a random and inexplicable thought to be sure, but it suits her. It wasn't just her blonde hair, either. Her personality was, and still is, nothing but daisies and sunshine, bubbly and spirited.
Lassiter hated the color yellow.
It was too bright. Obnoxious. Loud. It screamed, "I want attention, look at me!"
But he didn't hate O'Hara, not even in the beginning. Oh, sure, she irritated the hell out of him...but at least she was competent. She may have talked too much, but at least she didn't lose her temper on him or try to go above his head for anything.
Sometimes, he tried to squash the yellow out of her. He tried to crush her naivete, and make her see the world as he saw it.
But other times, he really didn't want to.
It became a comfort. Reassuring.
Friendly.
When he needed her the most, she was there offering a hug or a high five or just a quick pat on his shoulder. It was nice to feel totally in sync with someone, for once.
His partner was yellow, and so she was someone to turn to when the darkness threatened to overwhelm him.
If anyone asks now, he still hates yellow (but he doesn't).
A/N: These color and character combos are some of the last ones I would have expected...but I went with the writer's inspiration of the moment. It's kind of nice having the two partner sets up first, especially with last night's episode. Lol. Reviews = epic.
