    Summary

    The woman’s eyes widened, and her hand reached out, not quite touching Rumi, but close. “Not that you’re not beautiful, because wow, you-” She stopped, a look of realisation crossed her face “-I mean, no, wait, no, you are beautiful, but I wasn’t hitting on you, I have a girlfriend-” 

    Rumi ignored her chest squeezing.

     “-A stunning girlfriend, Mira. I mentioned her, right? My girlfriend Mira-” The woman stopped abruptly and lowered her head down into her arms. “Jeez, Zoey, stop rambling at the deaf woman.” It was muffled, but Rumi heard it.

    Silenced by grief, Rumi’s world is transformed when she crosses paths with Mira and Zoey, who guide her toward a voice she thought was lost forever.

    Or

    Mira with Zoey holding her arm in a death grip: Hey, my girlfriend saw you from across the record shop, and we really dig your vibe. Can we buy you a vinyl?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    for when I want to be purely and utterly devastated

    Summary

    She liked *them*. Both. Equally. In different ways that bent toward the same unbearable center.

    And they were *dating* each other.

    The thought struck like a physical blow, knocking her breath out from the inside. Of course they were. Of course they had chosen each other; they fit, they made sense, they were a pair that moved like they’d been in love for years.

    Where was Rumi supposed to go with a feeling this big when the space she wanted was already occupied? The shame of it rose hot—too late, too much, too obvious. It curdled into something bitter she didn’t recognize in herself.

    “You like Zoey...and Zoey likes *you*.” The words left her tasting ash. “There is no space for me...not like that.”

    The sentence trembled in the air between them, thin as glass. And then it shattered. Rumi couldn’t handle it.

    “What?” Mira’s alarm was immediate, genuine; she leaned in like proximity could stop a misunderstanding from hardening into a fact. “Rumi that’s no—”

    Or the Coffeeshop/Tattoo Artist/Piercer Au no one asked for.

    And of course They Were Roomates
