    Summary

    Mira finds herself staring at the alpha’s hands while she speaks. They were expressive, gesturing animatedly while telling her story. She tries not to find it so charming.

    She fails miserably.

    Rumi is no better, eyes seeming to glow as she watches intently. Taking in every little expression and quirk of her brow like it was something worth memorizing.

    The alpha must feel their twin stares from the way she begins to trail off, realizing just how much she’s been speaking. “—and, uh… I’m—oh jeez—I’m so sorry. I forgot to uhm… I just sat down and—” Whatever she tries to say gets stuck in her throat. Her hands gesture outwardly like she’s encouraging the words to come out.

    Mira huffs a sound of amusement.

    Rumi bites her tongue to stop herself from grinning.

    Eventually, the alpha gives up.

    Sighing heavily, she drops her head low in defeat. Taking a moment to compose herself, she takes a deep breath before ever so slightly tilting her head back up to meet their eyes.

    “Hi… I’m Zoey,” she finally gets out.

    OR

    Zoey fails at finding a library book and meets two pretty omegas who flirt(?) with her instead.

    Summary

    “It’s fine.”

    “It’s not, Rumi. If it’s hurting you, it’s not fine.” Mira says it like it’s easy. Like they’re not balancing on a wire pulled taut above utter destruction of themselves.

    All ‘cause of Rumi.

    “You’re shaking,” Zoey whispers. Chin propped up against Rumi’s shoulder.

    “Maybe I’m nervous.”

    “Of us?”

    The air punches out of Rumi’s lungs. No, she wants to say. Wants to mean it. Except her patterns glow in the same way Mira’s gok-do had against Zoey’s cheeks.

    Summary

    Rumi sighs. More exhausted than either of them have seen her. Barely-there tremors in her shoulders that have carried the world. She takes the third stool.

    "If you already hate yourself it makes it easier to lie that other people do too."

    "We never hated you," Zoey argues. Knows she's wrong, too.

    "You did." The patterns near Rumi's throat flicker magenta but her tone isn't angry. Just resigned. "For a minute at least."

    Her eyes flick over to Mira. Zoey catches the tightening around the edges when Mira refuses to look up from the counter.

    "I'm sorry," Zoey says.

    "Me too," Rumi responds. Smiling sadly.

    It's real, though. It matters that it's real.

    Summary

    Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.

    She pushed her fingers down.

    The rib shifted.

    The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."

    Rumi finds this out the hard way.

    Summary

    “I know!”, Mira said, gesturing helplessly. “I know it sounds insane, but I swear on my Gok-Do! There was a– a puff of smoke and then in place of the cat there was a woman with long, dark hair. Like a Korean Rapunzel.”

    Zoey processed this information. She knew Mira wouldn’t lie to her – not like this, never swearing on her weapon. And they had seen crazy things before… but their cat? A naked lady?

    “Huh”, she said, trying to picture it and failing. “Was she cute?”

    =^•ו^=
    Mira and Zoey take in a very shy stray.
