    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

    “A sick, weightless feeling— have I messed it up for good? Is there any way to salvage this? Thank god it’s finally over. How bad is it gonna hurt when I hit the ground?

    Summary

    “Well, I have to tell myself something to keep my mind off the fact that you never know when to stop talking.”

    “Yeah, because you don’t talk at all. You lay back and, oh I don’t know, maybe you think of England.”

    “Maybe I might say something about how to fuck me better if only for once you’d shut the fuck up—

    Fyodor wonders and wonders and wonders. That's pretty much all he does here, actually.

    Summary

    Xia Fei grins, unaware. A sour feeling curdles deep in the cavity of Liu Xiao’s chest in a slow killing. “Did you miss me that much?”

    I did. Liu Xiao wants to say, but doesn’t. He stops — hesitates. Then: replaces them with a practiced smile. The words die a brutal death at the back of his throat by the lined firing squad of his teeth. “Not at all. I saw you yesterday, after all."

    // or: In this one, Liu Xiao finds himself no longer a stranger.

    Summary

    Li Tianchen is the kind of person who believes that harm is a natural consequence of the way he expresses love. It stands to reason, then, that Liu Xiao should provide an environment where Li Tianchen is allowed to be dangerous.

    After all: what are friends for?

    Summary

    Liu Xiao holds the match between his fingers with less delicate care than he holds his microphone onstage. Li Tianchen frowns, blurts out before he can ask, “you taking up smoking, or?”

    The artificially-fake smile on Liu Xiao’s face would make anyone else think they’ve upset him, but Li Tianchen knows Liu Xiao well, knows his strangeness and odd intensity and pretentiousness the way knowing someone for a very long time settles into your bones. So, he doesn’t think Liu Xiao is mad, but he can tell Liu Xiao is judging him when he says, “it’s in bad form to adopt bad habits that drive the fans away.”

    “Yeah, because the gambling isn’t a bad habit,” Li Tianchen mutters, but he keeps his eyes on the bright-orange flame.

    or, liu xiao, li tianchen, and a stolen moment after the crushing high of performing. / li twins week day one: neo aurora au.
