    Summary

    The confused noise Matthew makes is nearly enough to make Taerae throw it all out the window. But she has to do this. Now or never, she’s decided.

    “I—” She takes a deep breath. Her lipstick is probably smudged already. Matthew is so close to her. Too close, even. She pushes her backwards for some breathing space. “I have to tell you something.”

    Taerae is irrecoverably and embarrassingly in love with the girl she's been sleeping with. Though she knows it might not mean anything to Matthew, she figures she might as well come clean.

    Summary

    Yuma is eating a popsicle.

    This is a normal, human thing to be doing. Eating is normal, popsicles are normal, Yuma is normal— well… That one’s debatable.

    Jo is watching Yuma eat a popsicle. That's normal, too. Looking at friends is normal. Looking at friends eating things is normal.

    An obscene noise leaves Yuma's mouth a moment later, eyes meeting Jo's for a split second as he swallows.

    None of this is normal.

    Summary

    "Why did you choose to follow veterinary classes ?" Jo asks, quiet, polite, head slightly tilted. She looks genuinely interested in the answer the other is going to give her and Yuma feels a slight warmth on her cheeks.

    "I like cats." Yuma finally answers, like it's the only logical answer possible. "As stupid as it sounds, that’s why i chose veterinary medicine. Why did you choose drawing?" It's Yuma's turn to ask. She sounds a bit defensive, but that's just how she always sounds, and she hopes Jo doesn't take it to heart.

     

    Jo's face flushes in the prettiest shade of pink. "I wanted to draw my cat …" There's a silence before the two girls burst into laughter, in sync.

    or, Jo is an art student and Yuma poses for her class.

    Summary

    “How long until you need to leave?” Yuma knew the answer, but he knew not to give away his idea to Jo prematurely. Jo needed to be gently worked into these things, allowed space to back out if the vulnerability became too much.

    “Maybe like twenty minutes? Thirty if I take the bus,” Jo shrugged, hands awkwardly in his lap. Yuma thought him to be absolutely stunning even in these moments, where the sun was barely above the horizon and the apartment air cold.

    Summary

    “Just tell me what I should do,” Fuma hears Euijoo whisper. His head is bowed, like he's atoning for something. It's a plea.

    Or: Fuma's good at helping people, and maybe not much else.
