    Summary

    So, Ava’s noticed Beatrice doesn’t like intimacy.
    Casual affection and touching is fine, but once Ava returns from the other realm she learns quickly that intimacy is a completely different topic.
    And Ava’s just fine with that.
    Over time, Ava’s learned to show Beatrice how much she loves her in as many other ways as possible...

    AKA the 5 ways Ava's learned to show Beatrice how much she's loved and cared for without overstepping her boundaries, and the one time Beatrice surprises her with what she's learned as well.

    Summary

    Ava held up a thin book, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. “Apparently, if a sick person folds one thousand paper cranes, they get a wish and they'll get better!”

    Beatrice froze, “Ava….”

    “Don’t worry, Bea,” Ava said, her eyes softening, “I–I know it won’t work. I’m just going a little stir crazy with nothing to do all day. Jillian cancelled my tutors, she says I need to focus on getting better, which we both know isn’t gonna happen.”

    Beatrice pursed her lips, “let me help, at least.”

    “What?”

    “You’re trying to fold a thousand cranes in–in three–”

    She wouldn't say it, she couldn’t, she didn't have to. Three months. The words unspoken filled the room, harsh, suffocating, all-consuming. Three months and Ava was gone. It wasn’t enough time, it would never be enough time.

    Summary

    “So… you’re not mad?” The alcohol was already settling, warm in her stomach, and the words were out before she could stop them.

    “Mad?” Ava asked. “Why would I be mad?”

    “I’m…not entirely sure.” Beatrice had run through this conversation a thousand times in her head. Sometimes, the scenario ended with Ava telling her they couldn’t be friends anymore. Sometimes, it ended in a way that would make Beatrice blush to think about. Either way, she never pictured it being this casual.

    “It’s cool.”

    “It’s – it’s ‘cool?’”

    Ava shrugged. “Yeah. I mean, I used to have a ridiculous crush on you too, so I guess we’re even, right?”

    Camila accidentally spills the beans to Ava about Beatrice’s feelings. They deal with it like idiots. College AU.
