    Summary

    She pushes her glasses back up her nose, eyes never moving from the spot on Rumi’s shoulder. Hm. They are, in fact, still there.

    “Zoey,” Mira calls, keeping her voice low, not wanting to alert Rumi, because, quite frankly, she needs to talk to anyone else who isn't the source of the problem right now.

    Zoey, thankfully, picks up on the tone in her voice, easily making her way over from across the compound, giving Mira a look. Mira just gestures for Zoey to get closer to her, and once Zoey is shoulder-to-shoulder with her, Mira gestures over toward Rumi.

    There’s a pause.

    “Huh,” Zoey decides, frowning. “That’s...” she trails off, waving a hand as she tilts her head to the side. “Different.”

    “Something like that,” Mira agrees, crossing her arms over her chest. “Rumi has patterns.”

    Zoey makes a noise. “Yeah. I guess so, huh?”

    (or, mira and zoey discover rumi's patterns early and make it their life goal to...help)

    Summary

    “You could call me hot,” Mira teases, laughing at how Rumi gives another breathy huff. “I’m dying over here, Rumi.”

    “Do you—do you seriously need me to tell you that you’re pretty?” Rumi demands. “You know that.”

    Mira blinks.

    She moves her head, looking down at Rumi now, feeling her heart stutter in her chest. It’s not as if Rumi hasn’t complimented her before, it’s just always been...like, about sparring. Rumi tells her she’s a fast learner every single day, that she’s naturally good at long-ranged weaponry, that she’s adaptable, good at bouncing back, skilled with the wooden staffs they use.

    “You think I’m pretty?” Mira asks, wincing as soon as the words come out of her mouth. They sound too desperate on her ears, too pathetic, too—

    “Did you not know that?” Rumi asks, looking at her directly now, face screwed up in confusion. “Obviously.”

    Mira blinks again.

    “You think I’m pretty,” she presses.

    “Of course I think you’re pretty, Mira,” Rumi says, softly.

    (or, mira and rumi during their trainee days being pathetic as ever for each other)

    Summary

    That's when they heard it. Heavy footsteps against the wooden floorboards, ragged breathing, and incoherent murmurs. There, from the jumble of sounds, an animalistic growl followed by a sharp whisper:

    "Mistake... You're a mistake..."

    Or: After the conversation with Mira in her room about the Takedown lyrics, Rumi spirals.

    Summary

    When Celine asks to meet with Rumi not long after the Idol Awards, Rumi insists on going alone.

    (Mira and Zoey do NOT approve.)

    Or: Celine and Rumi talk about the night of the Idol Awards. It goes...poorly.

    Summary

    Rumi threw one last glance outside, over her shoulder, and saw a couple of people unloading the cab and starting to drag her suitcases towards the mansion. It felt surreal. Her whole life packed in those wheeled boxes, about to get trapped in some strangers’ house. She was really doing this. She was really marrying into this family she’d never even heard of just a few weeks ago.

    OR

    Rumi gets engaged to Mira’s brother, Mira makes it her duty to show her how welcoming her family can be, and Zoey’s a hot mess finding herself completely out of her depth when Rumi hires her as her assistant.
