hey chat i wrote a super short story :)

trigger/content warnings: hints at suicidal thoughts, hints at suicide attempts, mentions of self harm

Annabelle Epling is fourteen when she meets a boy with blonde hair and scar-covered arms, and she doesn’t have to ask to put a name to the face. Steven Blake is different than she expects. He’s smiling.

The first time they interact one-on-one, Annabelle is heading up to the main office to pick up new whiteboard markers when she spots Steven sitting outside the counselors’ office. She stops. She sits down. There’s a bandage wrapped around his wrist.

“I was doing so well,” he says numbly. Later that day, Annabelle’s dad is too busy working to punish her for skipping class. It’s the first time she’s done it. She made the right choice — that’s what she plans to say, but he never asks.

When Tony calls in tears and says that Justin’s in the hospital, Steven grabs Annabelle’s hand. “He’ll be okay,” he says. “I was.”

Were you? Annabelle wonders when she gets the call about him a year later.

Annabelle Epling is seventeen and sitting in her best friend’s bedroom, entirely unsure how to be of help. It’s sort of like when her mom left, she thinks, only she’s never gotten sad about that. Not really.

Steven and Kaz swoop in to save the day. While Kaz makes Kia boxed mac and cheese, Steven finds Annabelle sitting on the floor of Kia’s bedroom and says, “She loves you, you know.”

Two years later, those words make her cry for an entirely different reason, but that’s a story for another time.

Annabelle is eighteen and thinking about how her whole life is ahead of her. She’s sitting on a couch between Zhan Chen and Peter Skowalski. She’s watching Steven, asleep on Kaz’s shoulder in the middle of a party, and she’s wondering if he’s going to die before his twenty-fifth birthday like her brother almost did. 

He opens his eyes and smiles at her. Zhan and Peter take her outside.

“Your parents are going to kill you,” Annabelle says, staring at the tattoo on Steven’s neck. He shrugs, turning away from the mirror to face her. He reaches out his arm, and she loops hers through it.

“They’ll get over it,” he says, grinning. “You did,” he says, and she knows what he means.

I got over her, she thinks. She is twenty-seven, and she is proud of herself.

introducing characters that i made specifically to spite people who hate on these identities part 2 - a character who uses it/its (among other pronouns) (if you want to read the first post, introducing 3 of my aroallo characters, you can find it here)

sade claxton

gender/pronouns: fluidflux & rosboy (gender and amount of gender changes over time & male with some connection to femininity), they/he/it/sometimes none (depends on the day)

sexuality: umm i didn't decide this yet, but ik it likes boys

age: 18

generation: 2

connections: friends with dawson and lila (other ocs), goes to college w/them. also goes to school with sai and chek (more ocs)

essentially at school sade meets dawson and lila (he/they and she/they respectfully) and the three of them call themselves the multi-pronouners or something (it was lila's idea). sade also becomes friends with sai (they/them) and the two of them vibe

might make intros to the others later... i'm planning on making a whole list of characters from this world just for organization purposes
