    Summary

    But the texture of the couch under her sweating palms scratched violently at something that had always been loose in Rumi’s mind. Something in her fingers clung to the ease of hiding next to these two women. Something wanted to howl but was so deeply buried all it could do was bite at its own flesh. Frustration was clawing at the back of the empty hollow feeling. Normally couch time helped. Normally the laughter started to fill her up again. It gave Rumi something to hold onto until she wasn’t drowning.

    Or

    Rumi had a process. Something that never failed to make her feel better. The girls were never suppose to know.

    Summary

    Rumi was a lot of things. An orphan and an Idol, a hunter and a half-demon.

    The first things were known to the whole world and the second only to the people who mattered. Those things were fine, Rumi had always known those things to be true. They were givens, the factual truths about their life. There was no need to think otherwise, this had always been what they were told, that was how they were always supposed to be.

    That was the easy part. This wasn't.

    Because Rumi was a lot of things, but a woman wasn't one of them.

    Summary

    Laying there in the dirt, bleeding out, Rumi thought of Mira and Zoey. Not backstage. But before. She thought of all her most cherished memories, all of which included them. Mira’s suffering from their “disguises” utter lack of fashion sense. Zoey rattling off facts about whatever her current hyperfixation was. Late night meals in the studio. Mira’s searching eyes that always saw more than Rumi wanted to show. Zoey’s teasing grin that never failed to make Rumi smile no matter how she felt.

    Her girls.

    She had had such a good life with them. She was lucky to have had them. Everything else was worth it, for the time she got with them. She just wished she hadn’t done so much damage to them, but she couldn’t help being selfishly grateful for the peace they gave her.

    Rumi choked on a final breath before it all stopped.

    She was done. It was done.

     

    She wasn’t done.

    One second she was laying on the ground and the next she was standing, air whipping past her. It was daytime. She was on the train. Mira was talking.

    Summary

    "Hi, I'm Zoey! It's so good to meet you!"

    "Mira. Same."

    This was typically the part where Rumi would be expected to introduce herself, but she didn't seem to give a flying fuck about what was expected of her if the way she still just stared even as Celine cleared her throat pointedly said anything.

    -

    "Hey, we got you something from the store last night."

    Rumi squinted between them and the bag. "Why."

    "Because as much as you don't seem to like us, we like you just fine."

    -

    "Well, come on. Aren't you going to bite somebody with those big sharp teeth of yours?" Mira prompted again with a raised brow, shaking Zoey's arm slightly, as if genuinely trying to entice Rumi to take a bite.

    Instead of taking the proffered bait, Rumi turned her head away with a strong air of ‘well now I don't want to.'

    "Thought so." Mira drawled, unimpressed. "Now how about you let us help you inside?"

    -

    Alt take: Repression didn't work baybeee, now it's everyone's problem!
