    Summary

    Scar's door was left ajar, a temptation made of wood and a ray of light, which, in hindsight, was damning for the both of them. Why had she left it open? Why do humans always try to steal a glance behind the veil of the great unknown, Grian first to succumb to the prickles of curiosity?

    Yes, there was a great chance that she'd be exposed to a whole lot more of naked than she was comfortable seeing, but Scar had never shied away from her, loud and clear in just about everything. Besides, there was this unease nesting in the back of her neck, right inside the soft cartilage between two vertebrae.

    It was just going to be a quick peek, to make sure everything was alright, and maybe they'd laugh at it later, or at least Scar would laugh at her, and she'd just roll her eyes incapable of uttering a justification that didn't sound like she cared too much.

    Holding her breath, Bluebeard's wife breaking the status quo, she leaned to peer through the five centimetres space that, unbeknownst to her, would forever frame the rest of her life.

    Grian discovers Scar's been holding secrets tight against the roof of her mouth, and it goes just about as well as you expect it to be.

    Summary

    He looks out to the Vegas view, and Scar settles a loose arm around his waist. His hand is on the small of Grian’s back, ridiculously reminding him that he should be running from this.

    But despite the loose grip, something tells him that Scar isn’t willing to let him go.

    Something in him breaks, and he looks down at his shoes in shame as tears well up in his eyes.

    (or, Grian plans to run away from his life and Scar thinks they’re on a fun road trip.)

    Summary

    “Stop thinking,” Scar murmured into his ear, pushing his thumbs in deep circles on his lower back. “You never relax. It’s gonna get you killed.”

    “I’m not the one who’s red right now,” Grian murmured back. His head got fuzzier with every breath Scar let out against his ear. “Maybe this is just your strategy to get my guard down so you can kill me.”

    “Not you, Grian,” Scar answered back. He turned his head away, and Grian could feel the impression of his lips against his neck. Not kissing, not claiming, just there, waiting, like he wanted to. Needed to. But wouldn’t. “Never you.”

    -----

    Or, the end is drawing near, and decisions must be made.

    Summary

    “Anyway! That one’s for E, if he’s listening. Have a good night, Ta⎯ T!” Lizzie finishes off with a bright little laugh, the kind that makes Etho’s stomach swoop.

    “You’re dedicating this song to E?” Tango sounds incredulous.

    Joel huffs from over the line. “And what about it? All of our songs are dedicated to E!”

    Etho wonders what sort of cheesy song they’ve decided on tonight.

    Or: Etho runs a late night music segment of a radio show that TIES host. Lizzie and Joel are always his first callers, recommending cheesy love songs. One night, he’s too ill to run it, and Tango does instead, prompting Lizzie and Joel to go comfort their long-time crush.
