A/N: Post 3x22 drabble :)
PINEAPPLE
Olivia was quite certain that eating a fruit should not be that upsetting. And yet, as she cut herself another slice of pineapple, the lump in her throat became more pronounced. This was ridiculous; she had no reason whatsoever to get worked up, but that insatiable ache she constantly felt was definitely stronger tonight, making her long for something…or someone.
When she took a bite of the fruit, she closed her eyes, letting the sweet and fresh taste of it fill her senses, soothing her mind, and some of the juice dribbled on her chin. She raised a hand to wipe the trail off, but another hand got there first, as she felt a finger brush her skin.
"Are you gonna need a bib to eat this?" a teasing voice asked –a man's voice, but there was a definite note of endearment in his tone.
Olivia almost choked on the pineapple, her breathe getting caught in her constricted throat, and she opened her eyes, heart thumping.
But both the memory and the man were gone.
All that remained was this lingering melancholy that drained all the sweetness away.
A/N: I will be posting a new (big) onehshot in the upcoming days (if I survive the hurricane XD). All about Olivia remembering Peter post season 3! :p
