Todd and Olive Song One-Shots

Set fire to the rain

Hi guys! I recommend acting the song above while you read the lyrics, it helps! :)

Olive sat at her desk as she finished up the last of her paperwork.

With a sigh she closed her files and put away her case papers as she prepared to go home.

“Bye Otto." She said to her partner, who was listening to soundcheck as he “worked”.

He didn't hear her over her music so Olive just left.

Instead of taking the tubes home Olive decided to walk, she could use some fresh air. As she stepped outside and began her walk, she pulled out her phone and earbuds so she could listen to music.

She hit shuffle and the song picked was “Set Fire to the Rain” by Adele.    

“I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me”

She remembered when she first met Todd.

“My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet”

She remembered how he was always the best of the best.

“But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.”

She remembered when he first started acting odd.

“But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!”

She remembered how heartbroken she had been the moment he was fired.

“When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better.”

She thought about the cases they had solved together and how hard Todd tried to teach her the math when no one was looking.

“'Cause there's a side to you That I never knew, never knew All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win"

"But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name"

"I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames Where it felt something die 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time.”

She remembered when he had come back as Odd Todd.

“Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you"

"I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name"

"I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames Where it felt something die 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh…….Oh nooooooo Let it burn, oh. Let it burn. Let it Burn.”

Suddenly Olive fell to her knees as a tsunami of sorrow crashed onto her heart.

Uncontrollable tears streamed from her face and passing strangers couldn't help but stare.

But she didn’t care. She only wanted one thing- her real partner back.

Hello again! By the way, I'm sorry for all the random spaces in between the paragraphs. I just find it easier to read paragraphs  when they are spaced out. Anyway, thanks for reading and remember, stay odd! :)
