    Summary

    "I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.

    Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.

    An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

    SUGGESTION — It was the first time you’d ever felt like that.
    LOGIC — Now, it’s the first time all over again.

    Summary

    Naruto took hold of the elastic of her boxer shorts. Sasuke blinked. “We’re switching,” said Naruto. She pulled off her underwear and dropped it onto Sasuke’s lap, then stepped into Sasuke's lacy ones. “You be me and I’ll be you. And then it’ll be like, the curse is lifted, yaknow, because it can’t tell which one of us is which."

    --

    Naruto and Sasuke's dinner date goes sideways.

    Summary

    She just didn’t understand why Naruto said stuff like that. Or why she touched Sasuke every time they talked when she didn’t need to. Or why she looked at her the way she did, with those strangely calm blue eyes, like she could see through all her secrets with a glance.

    Sasuke hated her.

    She hated her because she knew if anyone was going to blow her cover at school, it was going to be Naruto. Because she was practically sure of it at this point. And because she was starting to fear that if Naruto did end up blowing her cover it wouldn’t be because of any kind of special perceptive superpowers at all, but because Sasuke was just that fucking horny for her and it was clouding all her judgement and making her liable to do something really, really stupid.
