    Summary

    There is a hand outstretched in the square of light, palm upturned. A beat of silence floods the room before Cleo takes the offered hand and huffs a laugh. The food goes ignored, water simmering as an underpass to the radio’s muffled melody.

    Careful, doing his best not to make himself heard, Etho sits up on the couch. He props himself up on the arm, blanket still pulled up to his chin. Pillow supporting the ache in his back, he sits just high enough that he can see over the other arm and into the kitchen.

    Lit from above by the warm yellow lights, Bdubs and Cleo are half-dancing to the slow music. Bdubs is a lazy dancer- every step he takes follows Cleo’s body, stepping into her space and keeping to her careful rhythm. Cleo shifts her hands to Bdubs’ waist, keeping closer to him, and when she moves Bdubs moves with her.

    ==

    Here are the people that Etho might be in love with. Here is his own body, next to theirs.

    Summary

    “Hello. This is a recorded announcement from Principal Osito. Today we had a power outage at Quesadilla Island Elementary School, and we therefore must send students home. All bus riders will be able to take the bus, and all students who are driven to or from school are to be picked up, as well as all students who walk to or from school. Any students not picked up will stay in the gymnasium until parents or guardians arrive. We apologize for this inconvenience, and hope this all will be rectified before school tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding.”

    Charlie breathes out a sigh of relief, slumping in his chair. Everything’s fine. Juana just has to get picked up early from school.

    Shit, wait, Charlie has to pick Juana up early from school.

     

    or,

     

    Juana unexpectedly gets out of school early, and has to go to work with her father. Charlie's students know about his wife, who he complains about incessantly. They also know about his ongoing feud with Professor Trench. These two things may, actually, be connected.

    Summary

    [ Her warmth is bright, confident - leaves people in awe. Nene is boiling in a warmth not so similar, rather boiling - the light of the phoenixes stage.

    Nene is boiling, here, under these lights.

    A whole body shiver rushes through her, and Nene finds it runs continuously, all the way to her fingertips. She stumbles backward, afraid. Always afraid. Ever the pessimist. Ever the coward. She sinks to the floor, ugly in the lights, ugly to the audience who isn't there.

    Nene forgets her lines. ]

    or; nene feels as if her past still has a hold on her. tsukasa is here to remind her otherwise.

    Summary

    Grant could feel his world crumbling around him.

    Of anyone in the world? Why did his precious baby boy have to choose the bad girl? He was going to get his little heart broken—he was going to get divorced and be a single father and—

    “Night dad.” Link said cheerfully, previous daze seemingly forgotten as he kissed Grant’s cheek and headed upstairs.
