Summary
sometimes, after a fight, hiding bloody palms inside the pockets of your overcoat, you would yank down the coif of your combat habit and go inside of a fast food restaurant to order a milkshake. beatrice would stand with you on a street corner with her black coffee in a to-go cup and watch you sip and stare until your hands stopped shaking.
now, camila’s touch is all that holds you together.
she takes you by the jaw only briefly. there is a steadiness in her that you do not recognise. in the light, you know, her irises are lighter than yours. reflective in the way that black marble shows you your shadow, but sharply. you do not dare to look too long into them, but you are struck by their light-drinking depth. she is not the girl you remember.

Summary
Diego elbows Ava lightly in the side to get her attention. "Ava? How come you don't have a boyfriend?" he asks.
What if it’s because of him? What if she’s so busy always trying to make sure that he’s taken care of that she’s missing out on all the things other nineteen-year-olds get to do?
"Huh?" There's a pause, and he can almost see Ava's brain stutter into stillness before lurching back to life. "Well, um, Diego, it's like — I'm really — if I thought that — see, it’s more like —"
He hears Lilith scoff and turns towards her. "It's not that hard. Kid, Ava's down bad for —"
"Shut up, Lilith," Ava grinds out, cutting her off.
—
After leaving St Michael’s, Ava does everything she can to support Diego, including taking him to extracurriculars. Beatrice is his aikido instructor, and it changes everything.
