    Summary

    Zoey looked so genuine and so concerned and just so worried about Mira that she wanted to cry. Or scream. Or both.

    She wanted to kiss the furrow between Zoey’s brows, pull her bottom lip out from the hold of her teeth, map a constellation across her freckles with her mouth and reassure her that no, Zoey, you could never hurt me, not even the gods could imagine a world where you could hurt me.

    She doesn’t, though.

    ***

    inspired by @s0urbear_'s tweet: "Zoey cannot talk to Rumi or Mira face to face unless she's sitting on their lap. That's the only way she can fully drive her point across"

    Summary

    Rumi shrugs. “It’s just… one of those days, I guess.”

    She doesn’t say which kind, but she knows they’ve both had them. It’s the kind where the weight of being left out isn’t in anyone else’s actions, only in the gap she doesn’t know how to cross. Where the warmth of the room makes her ache because she can’t quite find a way to let it in.

    Rumi always thought her patterns would fade once the Honmoon was sealed, but they didn’t. And now they seem to respond to her emotions.

    Summary

    “What are you guys talking about?” Rumi cuts in. When Zoey looks back at her, she finds Rumi looking beyond confused, almost distressed.

    “Our six-month anniversary,” Zoey states with a vague motion between the three of them. “It’s been six months since we started dating.”

    “Almost six months,” Mira wrongly corrects.

    “We’re dating?” Rumi asks.

    or: zoey thinks it polytrix's anniversary. mira doesn't think it's for awhile. rumi doesn't think.

    Summary

    “Rumi,” Zoey’s voice is impossibly soft, “why wouldn’t I tell you that you’re good?”

    Rumi shrugs, feeling raw and exposed in the way she always does after kneeling for them.

    She considers the question: she just wasn’t brought up that way. There was never any need for praise or affirmation as a form of encouragement. Not when there were other forms so readily available – imminent choking forms, creeping steadily across her body.

    A soft Rumi character study featuring cows, colours and collars.
