    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?

    Summary

    Something grew taut inside her chest as he lifted his calloused thumb to his mouth, lips parting to wet it – she remembered Venti reciting a line of poetry about the burning desire to be the glove upon a lover's hand, to catch every sigh as their cheek rested on it.

    Oh, to be the page, whose only use was to feel that indirect kiss, to give way to his curiosity and nothing less.

    Summary

    He doesn't remove any of his armour, letting water slide over skin and metal, only covering his core with a layer of tack as a precaution, imperfect machine that he is. Seeing any more of himself, of scarred skin and black silicone, would all be more of a reminder of how little of him is truly human now. So he just leans against the tile, thankful to still be able to feel the water’s warmth.

    He hears a jingle of spurs, barely caught by his ears amongst the drumming of water on tile and the swirl of the drain underneath his feet. There’s no one else in Blackwatch with such gaudy taste in fashion and blatant disrespect for the force’s dress code. There’s purpose in that methodical jingle –Cassidy can be quiet when he so wishes, fact learned over the last few weeks of one-sided avoidance– : Waltzing into the communal showers at an hour when only one other man is there, Cassidy wants to be heard.

    Summary

    "You aren't going home yet, are you?" But Lyney couldn't leave even if he wanted to, Wriothesley’s gaze has him caught in a live trap. "How about a little game of poker between you and me? Just the two of us. I can get a room upstairs.”

    It's hard not to think about the implications of it, though. There's a splash of disgusting heat on the back of Lyney's neck. His biggest shame is how badly he wants to say yes. He hesitates, faltering, irony fails him. He should put an end to this now, walk out of the bar and meet Lynette halfway to Hotel Bouffes d’ete. That's what he should've done all along, before they had crossed so many lines.

    What a fickle thing the human mind is, how hatred is so close to passion, how tension is so close to sex. Lyney knows better.

    "And what exactly do I win?" He asks anyway.

    During a game of strip poker, Wriothesley and Lyney strip themselves of more than just their clothes.

    Summary

    They're broken in and made soft, like the pages of the old tomes housed on the shelves around them. They break new ground, like cracking the spine of a book. And, much like a shooting star, they shine and crash.

    -

    "Oh, now you're just being a dick on purpose!" His senior rages, hands falling to his lap. ​

    ​"An astute observation, senior."

    ​"You're such a brat sometimes," Kaveh spits, face souring, "​It makes me want to wipe that stupid grin off your face."

    ​Al-Haitham hums, both brows raised, "And how would you do that, Kaveh?" He finally closes his book, leaning backwards onto his palms. It's now that Al-Haitham gets a good look at Kaveh, his angry expression sending a lance of shameful heat through him. Kaveh looked good like this, so open and raw, the polished and kind Light of Kshahrewar shaking in his anger.
