    Summary

    Pomni kisses her again, “You want me to touch you, bunny?”

    Stupid question, Jax thinks. But they’ve played this game before. While they haven’t gone this far, the two of them have had their fair share of late-night makeouts. Or, early-morning makeouts. Actually, mid-adventure makeouts too. Okay, so Jax and Pomni get pretty frisky on a daily basis, whatever. Point is, Jax knows by this point that she needs to man up (ha) and use her words or she’s never gonna get what she wants.

    Summary

    Sometimes, on the rare nights they spend in bed together, Pomni will sit up by her side, and watch her sleep.

    Usually she situates herself lower down the bed, like she wants to be small. She'll throw her arm over Pomni's waist and tuck the scarred side of her face against her side, right above her hip. She'll always start out sleeping restlessly, but her face will even out in dreaming.

    Pomni will often reach out, to cup the back of her head with her hand, run her fingers through her hair, and stare at her peaceful, unguarded expression — and she'll think, selfishly, just to herself, I wish I knew your name.

    (or: jax coming back from abstraction doesn't automatically fix everything. pomni struggles to reckon with it.)

    Summary

    The bathhouse ambush follows the same old script, the same old plot.

    He changes it up, just a tad. Rumi holds out her sword to him, both of them circling each other in a dance, and Jinu decides screw it.

    He steps forward, she prepares for war, but the tip of her sword touches his chest, right where his heart should be. The sword glows and crackles, reacting to him, pulsing in time with his breath; Rumi’s eyes dart to it then back on Jinu, wide and unsure.

    He smiles. “Hey Rumi, what am I supposed to do?”

    And then he walks into her blade. It pierces him true, and he relishes holding her, if only for a mere fraction of a second, their time limited.

    Just when things start to fade away, he hears it, barely: “J-Jinu?”


    Rumi’s single word keeps echoing in his head, all he can hear. She shouldn’t have known his name yet. She shouldn’t have that gentle a tone yet.


    Every time Jinu dies, he's flung back in time to right after the first Soda Pop performance. Why and how, he knows not. All he knows is Rumi is there with his soul each and every time.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” Rumi hisses, angry and stressed and hit by the exhaustion of her very long guilt-filled day all over again. She has so many questions to ask— demand, really— and Jinu humming pleasantly does not soothe her nerves.

    “Was looking for you.” He says. His voice is… Slurring a bit. Not so badly that she can’t understand him but just enough to be noticeable. It makes Rumi’s eyebrows furrow, confusion overtaking everything else. “Was thinking of writing you a letter but… I needed to see you sooner.”

    Some traitorous part of her flushes just a little at the admission before she shakes it off. Everyone wants to be wanted, it doesn’t mean anything if she’s flattered by it. Rumi has to steer her thoughts back on topic because Jinu is acting… Not normal.

    (Or a few days after Rumi first proposes her plan to him, Jinu accidentally gets doused with ‘Cuddle Pollen’ and ends up on Rumi’s balcony, making it her problem. The need for physical proximity is one thing but Jinu is also noticeably in a… Different state of mind.)

    Summary

    Jinu shows up on Rumi's balcony with just one request: pull out the knife sticking out of his back.

    Whumpy shenanigans ensue.
