    Summary

    Finally, Zoey blurted it out, voice soft but sharp:

    “Have you ever thought of… something besides monogamy?”

    Mira’s thumb stilled on the screen. She looked up, slow. “…What?”

    Zoey’s hands twisted in her lap. “Like—not open relationships. Just… not just one person. Have you ever thought about being with more than one person and it still being okay?”

    She wasn’t looking at Mira. Her voice was tight, like it hurt to speak. Mira watched her with a furrowed brow, still quiet.

    “I feel so guilty all the time. Because I love you, Mira. I love you, and this doesn’t change that, but I see her and I want to make her smile and I want her to hold my hand and I think she’s beautiful and weird and sweet and I—”

    She finally looked up, tears shining in her eyes.

    “I think I ruined us. And I’m so sorry.”

    Mira just stared at her. Wide-eyed. Silent.

    Zoey’s heart dropped. “Say something.”

    Mira exhaled like she’d been holding her breath for a month.

    Then she visibly deflated—shoulders dropping, head tilting back against the wall—and let out a quiet, choked laugh.

    “…Oh thank god.”

    or.

    Summary

    Mira marches like she’s on a mission, slow and methodical until she has Rumi’s back against the mirror wall.

    Their height difference is noticeable now, and Rumi has to crane her neck back to look Mira square in the eye. She almost drowns in those simmering pools of dark black, a whimper twisting on her lips before it dives headfirst.

    “Did you know… that you’re so damn pretty in these sleeveless shirts?” Mira’s voice is low and seductive, a hint of a growl present as she traces a fingertip along Rumi’s shoulder. The touch is warm, so warm, and it feels like pure electricity as Mira trails that finger along her collar, brushing up and down the bare skin of her neck before it settles right on her sternum. Mira taps her chest lightly but it might as well have felt like a blow of a hammer on her skin. She craves the touch of it, and the thought makes Rumi flush, unfamiliar with asking for such physical affection.

    Rumi’s voice quivers as she answers, “R-Really…?”

    Summary

    Yelena Belova finds she does the same thing over and over again. She stays home alone, thinks about Natasha and most importantly, drinks heavily. Most of the time, she does all three at once. She's always been a multitasker like that.

    But tonight she's at a karaoke bar. She's not alone (the bar is crowded and reeks of alcohol consumption and e-cigarettes), she isn't thinking about Natasha (it's hard to when the girl on the stage is singing like a siren), but she sure as hell is drinking.

    And maybe that's what makes her seek out Kate.

    Summary

    Gretchen starts picking her cuticles — the skin around her fingernails too — the summer between fifth grade and sixth, when they’re straddling the cusp between young and innocent children and harsh, hormonal preteens. Regina tells her to stop, that it chips the acrylic and makes her nails ugly, but she just can’t — especially not around Regina.

    Regina makes her nervous — makes Gretchen’s skin prickle and her stomach turn and her hands clammy — more nervous than another child has any right to, but it doesn’t stop the way her hands shake, fingers habitually pulling and picking at the skin around her nails — a pretty pink acrylic that Regina chose.
