    Summary

    “Wait!” Bob lunges forward before Yelena can take so much as a single step, grabbing her by the wrist. “You’re not wearing a parachute!”

    Yelena's eyebrows shoot upward, highly amused. “Not wearing–? Bob, whatever gave you that idea?”

    Bob falters, mouth bobbing around soundless words, suddenly unsure. He squints at her gray sweater, as if he could make out the object out by sheer will alone. “... Are you?”

    “Yes, of course, Bob– what do you take me for? Look, see?” Yelena points to her chest, urging him to lean closer for a better look. “Right here, this spot right here, that little dark bit you see that blends with the light and the dark, that is the—”

    Her hands shoot out without warning, shoving a screaming Bob off the ledge.

    Or: Yelena helps Bob face his fear of heights, among other things.

    Summary

    A shadow moves through his blurry vision. It stops at the foot of his bed.

    “Hi, Bob.” Yelena plops down on his comforter by his feet, afflicted. “So, quick question. How would you feel about sneaking out in the middle of the night to do things I cannot disclose but will go and do anyway, and also would you still like me if I was a worm?”

    The stream of words slip in one ear and exit out the other, barely registering as he flutters his eyes, trying to keep up. He does, however, retain enough that his sleep-addled brain manages to provide one simple thought.

    Oh. This is what having a best friend is like.

    And then, out of nowhere, two other, more worrying simultaneous thoughts:

    ‘Why a worm of all things?’ and ‘I’m ruining this friendship immediately.’

    Or: RIP Bob Reynolds, Studio Killers sang it better.

    Summary

    "She’s talking strategy and it sounds like gibberish to Daryl, because all he can think about is how blue her eyes are, and the way she’s wetting her bottom lip with her tongue as she schemes. She’s thinking survival, and he’s stuck in this moment full of loose ends and words unsaid."
