    Summary

    “I think the point of falling in love is probably to die before the other person,” says Shiori, frowning at the crack. “That way you don’t have to be alone, ever.”

    “I would never let you be alone,” Juri vows, and something kindles in Shiori’s eyes. She crowds Juri back against the wall, all elbows and shoulders and sharp edges. Juri bangs her head on the stone, hard enough to see roses, but the pain barely registers, because Shiori is kissing her, with one hand tangled in the hair at the base of her neck and the other splayed out in the center of her chest.

     

    Or: How Juri became the Rose Bride, and what happened after.

    Summary

    “Are you surprised to see me?” she says. “You were riding me all day—”

    “Shiori!”

    She lets go. Her hand draws back to her body then rises up to touch her lips. “I was the car, you know.”

    Summary

    She had no desire to be in this place for longer than necessary.

    Aside from the raised lines of light, the waiting room was uncomfortably dark, and the walls seemed to close in on her further with every minute.

    Summary

    Peko sat cross legged on the green electrical box that hummed underneath her. It wasn’t that she was going to do anything, but she’d be lying if she said it had never crossed her mind. She didn’t have a personal desire to give in, but she could not deny that she had come to this very rooftop several times just to stare at the ledge. She tapped her knee with her right hand, pondering but never acting. For now, she just sat, feeling the breeze on the rooftop turn her cheeks and nose a light pink.

    Her shoes lay neatly on the floor next to her

    4 times Peko goes to a rooftop to contemplate.
    4 times she meets familiar faces.

    Inspired by the song "Yellow Cardigan"
