    Summary

    “Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
    “Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
    “Had four years on ship.”
    “Busy then too.”
    Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
    “Science!”
    “Whole time science question? Four years!”
    “Is much science in universe!”

    --

    Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

    ☆ “It feels different,” I said simply. “We aren’t in love, we’re just friends.”

    “Just,” Rocky repeated. The word sounded so shameful in Eridian, a short cluster of flat notes. “No just about Grace Rocky friends. Grace Rocky save stars together.”

    And, yeah. That stung. Mostly because he was right. “That’s… yeah, buddy. Sorry. There’s no just. We’re best friends.” ☆

    ☆As she opens her eyes, Eleanor smiles at her and with a sigh says “You are the best thing that’s ever happened.”

     

    Tahani doesn’t expect the sentence to end there and looks up in confusion before she finishes “To you?”

     

    “What?”

     

    “The best thing that’s ever happened to you?

     

    “Oh! no. I meant like ever but yeah, to me too.” Eleanor says with a smile. She leans down to kiss her and if Tahani was capable of any conscious thought at all in that moment, she’d wonder what she did to deserve this.☆

    When Tahani looks back to her, Eleanor’s brain goes blank for a moment. She’s fallen in love with this woman almost 1000 times, and she’s still struck dumb by a single look, by the flip of her hair, and the sun bouncing off her irises.

    “Do you need to, like, talk about it or something?” Tahani turns but Eleanor isn’t looking at her. She’s twisting her hands (long, delicate fingers, they’re painted the same sky blue Tahani had been wearing that first day) in her sleeves and staring resolutely at the T.V.

    “Not really, thank you.” The words feel stiff in her mouth, and Tahani shuffles just a bit closer to Eleanor to take the bite out. Eleanor, for her part, leans in even more, warm and soft and comforting.

    “Oh thank God, because honestly I’m terrible at this.”

    “At what?”

    Eleanor’s smile isn’t pleasant. “Being friends with people, I guess. Used to being on my own.”

    “You’re not terrible at it, Eleanor,” Tahani objects softly. On the spur if the moment, she reaches over, slipping her hand between Eleanor’s worrying ones and laces their fingers. “You’re not terrible at all.”

    Robotnik is a ruthless force of nature. Impulsive and pragmatic as a strike of lightning, he's the parts of what Stone is most scared of in himself, but he takes his craze and turns it into something otherworldly. Robotnik is a god on earth. Stone is just a nutcase. ☆

    ☆ You saw two women kissing when you were nine and your heart did a salto. You built up the courage to ask your mother about it, to ask her about girls who liked girls, but she shut you down. She told you those people were abnormal and sinful and that you should pray for them. That night, as always, you said your prayers and you secretly included yourself in them. ☆

    ☆ Avery, despite his excitement, was very careful to not to jostle Derek as he wrapped his arms around his shoulders, Derek pressed his forehead against Avery’s shoulder and slowly moved one of his arms to be on his back. His touch was… a lot, especially for someone who hadn’t had human contact in… Derek didn’t want to think about that, but it was nice. Warm. Comforting, even. Avery slowly pulled away, almost like he didn’t want to. Derek didn’t want him too. ☆

    ☆ Steve was about to complain again, then thought better of it and instead plopped himself between her legs, reclining his head back against her chest with a triumphant smirk.

    Surprisingly, Robin didn’t make some snarky comment. Instead, her hands automatically dropped to his hair like they’d been magnetically drawn in, combing through it. It’s the softest she’s ever felt, Steve’s sure, because he knows how to take care of his hair if nothing else, and he put on a healthy coat of leave-in conditioner before bed. ☆

    “You’ll manage.”

    “I always do.”

    “I’m holding you to that.” Robin says and even though they’re joking (like they hadn’t both almost died not even five minutes ago) there’s all the sincerity in the world in her voice. ☆

    ☆ Helen. Like of Troy. A face so alluring those lusting after her condemned themselves to death. The irony is not lost on Carol, leaning behind her, bare feet rough against aggregate concrete, goosebumps prickling the longer they stand there, the both of them, staring into the depths of Helen’s ex-ex-girlfriend’s pool, willing themselves to be the first to make a move. ☆

    It feels stupid to be afraid of the scare, because it wasn’t even a jumpscare, and it was freaking Minecraft, but Avery can't get the horrible face–or, mask?–out of his mind. Or the ending. He guesses that's why it's a horror ARG, and not a flowers-and-rainbows ARG.

    For a moment, on the glassy cover of his PC, he mistakes his reflection for the King's reflection in the darkness of the room and freezes. It's so stupid. They look nothing alike.

    He gets to his feet and finds his keys. He just wants–He's just going to drive.

He doesn’t even have a favorite color. Avery is really, really bad at solving puzzles. “There’s nothing special about me!”

    ☆ This isn’t something he wants to come face to face with, not now, not really ever, it’s just something he does, and dammit, it’s not that big of an issue, it’s something to stop his heart from pounding outside of his chest, to keep the dread sunk deep in his stomach in, to keep everything that could go wrong in his head, to keep people safe, he does it to keep them safe, so God, just let him be because at the end of the day it’s not that big of a deal. ☆

    ☆ Helen’s cigarette is nearly down to the nub. She lets it fall from her fingers, joining other cigarette corpses, grinds it out with her boot toe. “I’m waiting,” she says, leaning slightly into Carol’s space, enough for suggestion rather than invasion, “for you to ask me to get a drink with you. Or dinner, if that’s more your thing.” Even in the slight dark, she can see Carol’s cheeks flaming pink—embarrassed to be caught out? Or blushing at the mere thought of asking another woman a question that conveyed a desire to get to know her? ☆
