❝ i mean , i’m vegetarian , but i don’t mind if you want a cheeseburger or something . ❞ perhaps english isn’t her first language – gussie is struck by the enunciated vowels , the lack of contractions . speech that is carefully crafted . ❝ or we could do waffle house for breakfast . you like waffles ? hashbrowns ? ❞ there’s a distinct aura of oddness – the girl is glaringly out of place – but gussie chalks it up to cultural differences . don’t be fucking xenophobic , cohen . ❝ i’ve also got some shit in my kitchen probably . ❞ stale ramen noodles and toaster waffles , in all likelihood . she jerks her head away from the shoreline , gesturing roughly in the direction of the distant apartment buildings . ❝ come on . ❞
INTERNAL STRUGGLE ! a foreign land ; a foreign girl . ❛ a waffle ... with the cheeseburger sounds nice . ❜ nose scrunches in slight distaste for the words departing from rosy lips . they are too unfamiliar , but she craves a place ‘pon this world so she must try . arms wrapping around herself , she steals a glance towards the sea . the night casts it as nothing more than an abyss of waves . all that she has known lingers down there but there is so much more she has yet to see . smile graces across facade and she lifts her eyes to the city lights . ❛ lead the way . ❜

almost comically , a mental red flag appears . nicer than i expected . expected ? augusta dismisses it , pushing her lips into a welcoming smile . for fuck’s sake , she’s SCARED . who knows what she’s been through ? someone , somewhere , along the line must’ve hurt her ; struck her enough times that FLINCHING became second - nature . relief spreads through her when the girl RISES . ❝ you’re not intruding , i promise . you hungry or anything ? ❞ it occurs to her , faintly , they haven’t been introduced , but it seems too late now . interjecting her name would be awkward . what would she call herself , anyway ? is she AUGUSTA , good - samaritan , or MOLEDET , amateur HERO ?
UNCERTAINTY DEVOURS , as if it were a black hole . a part of her wants to protest again ( are you sure it’s okay ? why waste time on me ? i’m a stranger to you . ) but she finds the will to restrain bitten back words . ❛ hungry ? ❜ it’s not that she doesn’t know the meaning of the word , but what humans feast upon slips her mind . while starvation clawed at her stomach , desperate for a crumb , she thought it best not to pursue dining with the girl . human customs were too unfamiliar to her . ❛ i do not believe i am hungry , just very tired from a long night . perhaps tomorrow we could eat together . what is it that you like to eat ? it is always best to plan ahead . ❜

❝ still seems pretty gay . ❞ augusta’s eyes drop , following the lines on her palm as autumn feigns analysis . her chest warms at the contact . ❝ i’m starting to think this whole thing might be a gay scam , so you have an excuse to hold my hand . ❞ her fingers close , wrapping tightly around autumn’s . ❝ joke’s on you , you don’t need an excuse . ❞
❛ i can’t believe that you would accuse me , a pure angel , of scamming you . do you even know who i am ? i have never done anything like that in my entire life . ❜ she has always been one for the dramatics . never a dull moment when you’re with her . ❛ and i never would . how dare you . ❜ a tsk of disapproval sounds from her while with nonchalant exasperation , autumn tightens her grasp on gussie’s hand . ❛ unbelievable . ❜

❝ did you hurt her ? ❞ gussie jerks her head , gesturing to her roommate’s side . the flame sparks higher , gathering at her wrist and licking at her arm . ❝ i swear to g-d , if you hurt her , i will burn you to a fucking crisp . ❞ she doesn’t trust autumn . after all , as far as autumn is concerned , gussie is aware of precisely too things : one , autumn is a cold - blooded murderer . two , autumn has broken into her room , and – her eyes shift , catching on a stack of papers . nothing personal , merely rough drafts of essays and assorted projects , but it only fuels her temper – ❝ did you go through my shit ? ❞
FEIGNED HURT PAINTS FACADE . oh , how tedious humans could be with all their concern of the insignificant lives of those that would become a mere acquaintance from the past . a silly thing to get worked up over , but perhaps augusta would see that in a few years . nevertheless , it’s best to play nice with toys . ❛ i didn’t hurt her ! why do you assume such terrible things when it comes to me ? ❜ she rolled onto her back , hair cascading down the bed in long , wavy curls . index finger picks at her teeth and she kicks her legs up by mere habit . ❛ now , as far as your things are concerned , i may have snooped a little , but i was bored . ❜

it’s a steady beat , thrumming through her ears . earbuds have disappeared into her mess of curls and gussie ups the volume as she steps off the elevator . her keys swing up in an arc , landing in her open palm , and she touches the ID to the door’s sensor . it’s late into the friday afternoon , and unseasonable warmth has most of the students stretched out on the grass . her roommate’s board has her marked as OUT , which is beyond fine . if she wants to enjoy shorts weather in january , gussie is more than willing to have the room to herself for a while . sliding her own marker to DO NOT DISTURB , gusse punches in the keycode . once she opens the door , pure shock kills her brief elation , and she tugs the earbuds out . she could have sworn she’d won their last encounter , outsmarted the vampire for GOOD , yet here autumn is , stretched out on her bed as if she owns it . call it her SURVIVAL INSTINCT , but gussie hardly notices when her closed fist catches fire . ❝ how the HELL did you get in here ? ❞ / @herwreck
IT WAS EFFORTLESS . a quick gaze , a bit of persuasion molding to the shape of her tongue and parting from freshly painted lips , and then she was in. she had STRETCHED , let a yawn out , went through augusta’s things a bit before splaying herself across the girl’s bed. comfort was key and none could be achieved by merely standing and waiting. “ oh , finally you’re back! do you know how long i’ve been waiting here? ” autumn blatantly ignores the question and props herself up with her elbows. carefree and unbelievably eased , she tosses a glance towards the remaining space next to her. “ wanna come and get comfy with me? your bed is extraordinarily cozy. ”

❝ won’t you have to hold my hand for that ? ❞ augusta shifts , pierced brow quirking . ❝ sounds kinda gay . OOH – are you gonna tell me you’re in my future ? because that’s DEFINITELY gay . ❞ her hand is extended , nonetheless ; slightly calloused from clutching pencils , but open and palm up .
“ listen , ” no excuse is planned , she simply reaches out , grabs onto gussie’s hand , fingers skimming across the side of her palms. “ just trust me this isn’t gay at all. ” eyes peer down , LOCKED in a gaze. give her credit , she was at least trying to give the impression of knowledge here. “ okay , so this line right here says your future is going to be LIT as fuck. then this one means you’re kind of a whore. ”

i just want someone, who suddenly knocks at my door, saying let’s drive away. Get in the car, forget about the rest, listen to good music and just drive no matter where. Then watch the sunset, drink some good wine and talk all night long ‘till we fall asleep under the night sky.

“ WANT ME TO READ YOUR FORTUNE? ” she sits , legs crisscrossed , grin tugging onto soft yet gleeful facade. now , there is a feigned professional tone to her voice. “ i’m the BEST palm reader in town and since you’re CUTE and all , it’ll be free. i’m GENEROUS. ”

❝ decent roommates . ❞ augusta repeats the words , slowly , tone thick with disbelief . ❝ you’re asking about where my family lives . my family , who are people . you eat people . you can see how i’m having a little trouble trusting you with my personal information . ❞ autumn doesn’t radiate quite the BLOODTHIRSTY aura augusta had assumed such creatures did . her mannerisms seem so desperate to be human , but she has only to INHALE , to LOOK , and know that the girl is far from human . her skin is too perfect , her scent sickly sweet .
“ i apologize for conversing with you then. i didn’t realize i was overstepping my boundaries. ” her voice , while like a melody of peace , is devoid of emotion. they , born in the same world yet different times , have far too little in common. she drags her books into her lap then pulls them to her chest. slowly , to her , she rises from her bed. movements are perfected , as if there was not a flaw in the way she swayed. “ if you’d like , i could leave for the rest of the day to let you unpack and settle down. i don’t have to be here when you’re awake if that makes you uncomfortable. ”

❝ – yeah , they live out of state . ❞ that’s as much as she’s willing to divulge , too worried about their safety to let further details slip out . ❝ but we’ll stay in touch just fine . ❞ do vampires even have families ? covens ? or are those for witches ? she doesn’t even know if witches are REAL , this world still too new to her , isolated and packless as she is . her hands fidget as she thinks , fingers crumpling the edge of a postcard , stamped from scotland , initialed by her sister , and a defensive brand of curiosity gets the better of her , pushing augusta to turn on her heels , staring down toward her roommate - for a vampire , she almost looks small there , sitting on the bed by herself . ❝ why ? ❞
“ isn’t that what roommates do? ask one another questions in an attempt to further learn about each other? ” maybe her information on human techniques were a bit outdated , or perhaps it was UNWISE to assume that a friendly conversation could bind them together on some form of ground. memory was no use to her : all things once human of her have become blurred fragments. even if she could remember the customs , her century of birth is obsolete. “ i know we may never get along , but i don’t want us to loathe each other. besides , maybe if i knew a bit about you and you knew a bit about me , we could at least be decent roommates. ”

“ wanna hear a SECRET? ” childlike grin hangs upon plush lips. her voice , small and shy , finds itself slightly more boisterous around the other. it has always been a challenge to speak , but comfort is not unfamiliar with mae so the words escape with ( unstable ) newfound security. “ it’s a SUPER secret. ”
