    Summary

    Colin leans over to ruffle her hair but she shoves him off, her heart ping-ponging around her ribcage. “I knew you’d figure it out on your own. I don’t know if anyone’s told you this, but you’re a pretty smart cookie, Penelope Featherington.”

    “Not that smart,” she says churlishly, to hide the way the ball of light bursts and thrums inside of her. “Eloise figured it out when she was a kid.”

    “You’re only a little bit older than I was when I came out. It’s harder when you’re bi, because you can convince yourself that the attraction you feel to the opposite gender is the real attraction. You can’t be gay, can you? Not if you still fancy girls - or boys, in your case,” he adds.

    Boy, she thinks. Just boy.

    Summary

    He didn’t like to admit it, but the truth was he’d always had a thing for her boobs. It started a couple of years before the Yellow Bra Incident, back when Penelope had just turned thirteen and started growing them. Which, of course, coincided with Colin, at the time fifteen-going-on-sixteen, becoming obsessed with breasts. Not hers in particular, just breasts in general, but… well, Penelope was a little plump. Which meant her budding breasts were a little plump as well. She had developed earlier and faster than his sister, who remained a beanpole for many years yet.

    He was very good at compartmentalising, it turned out.

    Pen was his little sister’s bestie, yes; but Pen’s breasts were an entirely different thing altogether.

    (aka the AU where Penelope becomes an instagram lingerie model and Colin loses his mind.)

    Summary

    “You guys would be like a rom com couple…” Hyacinth teased.

    His family dissolved into agreements of this statement. Because of course they always had something to say when the topic of his and Pen’s relationship was brought up, the annual tease about them dating was a tradition at this point.

    Colin was about to hush everyone up with a loud declaration of friendship and respect for Pen, but stopped as she turned her gaze to him, smiled, and gave a little shrug.

    Which sparked an insane idea.

    He raised his hands up, immediately shushing the group around the kitchen island, he cleared his throat and felt a little bit of pride at his genius idea.

    “Fine, I’ll kiss her.” He declared, “It’s not going to change anything. You idiots all think a kiss is some mind-bending moment. But you will see that friends can kiss and just go on living happily as they were.”

    Penelope let out a small choked cough, which had everyone turn their attention to her. Despite her face being bright red from the attention, she was smiling at the suggestion.

    “We should,” she gave a small nod to Colin, “it’s not a big deal.”
