    Summary

    It’s something that took the both of them a while to understand, that it’s okay to just like things for the enjoyment of them—Bubblegum a significantly longer while. Making people happy just because. Leisure, just because. Living, just because.

    ***

    A look at Princess Bubblegum's days before, and after.

    Summary

    Shauna adjusts the damp shirt she has balled up against her breasts to cover herself a bit more fully, speaking a bit more gently when next she does. “Look, just— go back to bed, okay? I want to be alone, it’s— complicated, and it’s gross—”

    Oh, Melissa thinks, because it’s starting to click, and they’d kind of learned about this in health class, and she can feel her whole body going hot at just the thought of it for some reason, and her mouth is moving before her brain again as she blurts out—

    “Are you still lactating?”

    “Melissa.”

    And yeah, okay, she probably shouldn’t have said that. Fuck.

    OR:

    In the wake of a late night anxiety attack and on the brink of starvation in more ways than one, Melissa makes an offer that Shauna can’t refuse.

    Summary

    She’s trying. She’s trying.

    But there’s this ache. Not loud. Just ever-present. A small splinter under the skin every hour. A person-shaped absence. The dip of the mattress under another body. A hand that isn’t her own between her thighs.

    She thinks about Natalie more than she should. Less than she used to. Somewhere in that middle place that makes every time she strays feel like picking a scab.

    They haven’t spoken in weeks. Months? Time has gone slippery again. Charlotte told herself that was a good thing. No contact meant boundaries. Strength. It meant she was moving on.

    Natalie, after all, was never good for her. And God knows she had never been good for Natalie.

    And yet, every time the buzzer rings, Charlotte still checks her reflection in the mirror.

    Summary

    Nat realises what she’s about to say a second before it comes out, a week’s worth of build-up tumbling out unbidden. “I think I want to try it. You know, with a girl. Just so I can stop fucking wondering. Just so I can finally know.”

    Somehow that feels even more exposing than anything else she’s said so far. God. She wants to try it out. Did she really have to word it like that? Like something she can just try on for size and then put back on the rack if she doesn’t like it or it doesn’t fit right? She wonders if Lottie will tell her to fuck off, or grow up, or—

    “I could do it.”

    Nat blinks. “What?”

    “If you want to try a girl,” Lottie says. “If you would rather try with someone you know rather than a total stranger, I’ll do it.”
