    Summary

    “Rumi! Calm down!” Mira swallowed hard. She tried to be as gentle as she could while applying pressure to her back. She couldn’t even imagine how much it hurt. “We’re right here! Just try to breathe!”

    “We’re not going to leave your side!” The tears in Zoey’s eyes started to trail down her cheeks. She pressed her hand with a new towel up against her friend’s thigh first. “We’re right here! Just-” She cut herself off as she went to place her hand on Rumi’s arm. She froze with her facial expressions falling.

    Tears started to cascade down Rumi’s face as she watched Zoey’s eyes widen, her pupils dilate and her whole body pull back just slightly.

    The rapper’s gaze had fallen onto her exposed demon patterns.

    Rumi let out a long trembling breath followed by a harsh whine.

    She had to cover them up.

    ~or~

    Jinu's soul has long since lost its humanity. There is no kindness nor empathy that remains. Instead, there is hatred fueled by shame that he directs towards this generation of Hunters. So when he learns one of these Hunters is half demon, that raging hatred explodes. Exposed in the bathhouse, Rumi doesn't have a choice whether or not her friends get to see the patterns she hides.

    Summary

    Rumi doesn’t leave.

    She doesn’t want to. Even if she had tried, it would probably have been impossible – Zoey and Mira have positively caged her in, and she doesn’t think there's a way of escaping. She’s basically buried underneath them.

    She… she likes it.

    The way they don’t seem to shy away from her, the way both of them seem to seek physical contact.
    She doesn’t even think that anyone ever hugged her, before she met her team.
    And now, she’s here, between her first and best friends – and Zoey keeps burying her head in Rumi’s shoulder, whenever she laughs too much; and Mira’s legs are pressed against her own, and the taller girl absentmindedly grabs her hand every now and then.

    She thinks she might like it - being held like this.

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    In which the Honmoon is more than just a shield protecting the world from demons - it is a net, is a connection, it binds souls together and never lets them go again. And it has chosen. Rumi is just left to wonder if, despite of what she is, the other two parts of her soul will be able to love her, still.

    Summary

    (She thinks, once, that she might be lonely.)

    (It’s not a big deal.)

    (She has the Honmoon following her and the ghosts and sometimes Celine – and yes, she might feel lonely, still, but it’s not a big deal.)

    (There must be a reason why no one wants her around.)

    (Something other than just the patterns – only Celine knows of those. Maybe the ghosts. But no one else – so she knows that there must be some other reason, one that is really obvious to everyone else but hard to define, for her.)

    (It’s been there since forever.)

    (Maybe there is more ruined about her than just the patterns.)

    (Maybe there is another, deeper reason – the marks are merely on her skin, in her flesh, after all, but they do not reach her soul. Or do they? Perhaps, then, there is something rotten within her, something bad, something that screams at other people from a distance don’t come near me be careful hate me don’t you ever learn how to love me.)

    (She thinks it might be her destiny – to be lonely. There is no use crying over it.)

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    (Or: Rumi, longing and loneliness, and all that remains after a life spent hiding.)

    Summary

    She wished she could be sitting with the girls, eating dinner, laughing and crying about what a mess this day had become.

    She wished she could apologize for not being fast enough, press her forehead to the cracked wooden floor and plead for them to forgive her.

    The starved animal at her core whined and thrashed.

    She wished she could be normal.

    Summary

    Rumi's whole body tensed instantly, her breath hitching in her throat, halting her hyperventilating at the least. Her first instinct was to recoil, to retreat from the touch like it burned. In some ways, it did. The comfort was foreign to her, something she wasn’t worthy of. But she didn’t. Couldn’t. She just... froze.

    or

    Rumi has trouble opening up and asking her teammates for help. But what will she do when a routine mission goes terribly wrong and she gets injured? swallow her pride and let them help her? pfft nah! obviously, it's a much better idea to hide this until it gets so much worse than it had to be.
