    Summary

    “I went to her.” Rumi doesn’t say how she got to Celine, that the world opened up beneath her and did her bidding, for once, and it felt good.

    “I got down on my knees.” She doesn’t say that the dirt was cold, that the touch of it surprised her.

    “I offered her my weapon.” She doesn’t say that her weapon was warm in her hands, almost gentle. Comforting laid across her palms.

    “Rumi, stop,” Zoey begs. “Please, Mira.” Her voice is thick with tears through full-body, shuddering sobs.

    “No, Zoey.” Mira’s voice shakes. With fury or terror or sheer emotion, Rumi doesn’t know. “Let her say it,” Mira cuts in.

    “I asked her to do what she should’ve done a long time ago.” She exhales, just a little. She knows the full truth of it, what they are asking for. She just has to say it.

    Not just that she asked Celine. Not just that she cried.

    That Rumi yearned for it.

    Rumi is taking too long to catch on to her roommates' advances, so Zoey leverages behavioral psychology to accelerate the process.

    That cold open from The Office where Jim trains Dwight to ask for Altoids, but instead of Jim it's ZoeMira and instead of Dwight it's Rumi and instead of Altoids it's makeouts.

    Summary

    from the prompt: nail

    //

    ‘Zoey, can I talk to you for a minute?’

    Rumi’s tone freezes her in place. It’s gentle but cautious and peeking at her face—her expression hesitant, if not worried—confirms Zoey’s fears; whatever Rumi wants to talk about, Zoey isn’t going to like it.

    ‘Sure! Absolutely! I’m kinda in the middle of something—do you wanna talk about it now or later? Later is probably better for me,’ she muses with a wide grin that hopefully hides the way her heart feels like Rumi has thrown it onto a roller coaster without any of the safety checks or bumpers. Everything is climbing, climbing. Zoey is definitely not sweating. ‘Oh, later is actually - it might have to be, like, later later because I promised Mira that we would go on a shop run—’

    ‘No, you didn’t.’ Mira doesn’t even bother to look up from her phone when she commits her foul treachery. ‘When I asked you to come, you said you’d—and I quote—vivisect me if I made you leave the house today.’

    Fucking snitch.
