    Summary

    “S'not your fault that—”

    “—I hurt you,” Susie finished. She chewed on the concept, the edges of her voice frantic, her throat thick. “Because you deserved it.”

    “Yes.” Kris pressed her hands against their chest. They smiled in a way that failed to be reassuring. Each desperate breath shuddering through their lungs confirmed everything Susie didn't want to know. “S’fine. It’s okay.”

    Kris burned like a charred pan straight out of the oven, or an oil fire stoked by liquor. Susie reeled away. “You—you were trying to set me up,” Susie accused, trying to edge words around the chasm opening in her gut. “You were trying to get me to hit you.”


    Kris wants Susie to hurt them. They need her to hurt them. Susie isn't as on board with the idea as they are.

    Summary

    The fire inside her is burning again, and she doesn’t ever want it to stop. Brighter than a blaze or an explosion, the sort of thing she knows she can never feel again and yet so desperately wants to. Their lips taste like apples. She wants more. Their hands slide up to her neck and card through her hair. She wants more. She wants more.

    The pain and the soreness and the guilt don’t register for a long, long time. It’s just her and Kris, the desk and the classroom and the world itself out of sight and out of mind.

    This must be what hatred feels like.

    Susie tries very, very hard to figure out how exactly she feels about Kris Dreemurr.

    Summary

    “So, about your, uh… girlfriend,” Monster Kid stammers. “Are you guys, like… fighting? She’s way scarier than usual…”

    From across the schoolyard Susie shoves Snowy out of her way remorselessly, almost crushing the apple juice in her hand from the might of her grip. Everyone stares fearfully as she passes.

    “I’m working on it,” Kris says.

    Kris has never been witness to a functional relationship, but they'll fight tooth and nail to set their own example.

    Summary

    “It wasn’t a big deal or anything, if you’re worried about that. We were just kind of friend-kissing.”

    “Susie, I don’t know what friend-kissing is supposed to be,” Noelle said.

    “It’s like. You know,” Susie stumbled, “like if you need to figure out how to kiss or whatever and you got somebody to help you out—and that guy helps you get better at it, it’s like—you know!”

    “I-I do?”

    “Yeah,” she stressed, “you and Kris used to do it all the time!”


    Or, Kris decides flirting lessons aren’t all that bad of an idea. Consequences? What consequences?
