Author's Note: Another fun request from Music Est Vita, which was "Parker takes something that belongs to Eliot." This was one was fun to write for me and a bit sad. They're not a couple here, it's more of Parker crushing on him, but not realizing it. Enjoy!
She's done something wrong.
Something very, very wrong.
She knows this and yet, she doesn't care. She's a thief before anything else—that's something that everyone should come to realize about her. Still, she feels a weird sense of guilt in her body. She pushes that aside and looks at her prize.
It's a shirt.
A plain, white man's shirt.
And yet, it brings her comfort. She brings it closer to her as she huddles on the ground with it. It smells like him and that's a relief for her. She had to take it from him. She knew if he left and she didn't have anything of his, she would forget. First, it would be little things like his smell or the way he looked when he was angry. Then, it would progress to bigger things like the way his voice sounded or they way he acted.
She refused to forget him.
Hence, the shirt.
As she lay on the ground, holding the shirt as close to her as possible, she smiled.
"I won't forget."
And she didn't.
Author's Note: Next chapter, Mrs. Gabbler returns! But is this a good thing or a bad thing? Review/Request please!
