Author's Note: Sorry for the long delay, I've been really sick. This is a request from Anna who actually asked for a drabble that I used as an example. The request was for a drabble that used this line, "Parker, why is there a banana on your head?" I must say, I was pretty stumped with this one. I hoped it turned out well! Enjoy!
"Parker, why is there a banana on your head?"
It was just another day at the office and while the others had decided to head home, Eliot had stayed behind to check locks and other things that could compromise security despite the fact that Hardison swore that their own alarm system was the best on this Earth. Now Eliot believed him, but that didn't stop his protective nature from checking anyways.
"Hm?" Parker questioned as she titled her head a little to the left in confusion. "What did you say?" Eliot sighed and ran a hand through his hair. After noticing that Eliot would be staying in the office, Parker had agreed to stay with him in order to keep him company. Eliot didn't need anyone to stay with him, but Parker seemed to have other plans and she had been scurrying around the office like a little mouse. Eliot was getting pretty worried over her because the weirdest part of it all was that she was being quiet.
"The banana," He repeated slowly as he pointed to her blonde hair which surely enough had a banana in the middle of it. "Why is it on your head?"
And then she does something so characteristically Parker.
Slowly, she takes the banana off her head, grins, and then scurries into another room. Eliot sighs but can't help but to grin just a little bit.
He loves her—he just doesn't know it yet.
The next time she asks to keep Eliot company, the hitter doesn't protest. There's no one he'd rather spend time with even if he doesn't understand her half of the time.
