‘You too?’ Luna observes and tips her head back, huffing.
‘What’s up with you?’
‘Yeah, you’re more… fidgety than usual.’ Which is right, this entire time Luna hasn’t stopped for a second.
‘Did something happen?’ I ask, concerned.
If someone hurt her I’d kill them no questions asked. I don’t care if we're in a good spot, I will never sacrifice one of my girls to be here.
‘Nothing… bad.’ Luna winces.
That doesn’t put my racing mind to ease.
‘What happened?’ Elizabeth’s cold, hard tone sobers Luna and she straightens.
‘It was me, not him.’ She tries to explain as her eyes bug out and her hands fly about.
Liz pushes off the wall, bow in hand.
‘That doesn’t sound much better, Luna.’ Fauna supplies.
‘I pulled a knife on him!’
We all stop and stare at her. And all I want to do is wrap my arms around her because she looks so fucking vulnerable right now.
‘You did what?’ Eloise asks just as Elizabeth's lip tips up in a grin.
‘We were getting… Yano close and I was all up in the moment.’ Luna’s arms fly and she looks like she’s about to take off with all the flapping she’s doing..
‘So you pulled a knife on his dick? Is that a kink or something?’ Amelia asks.
I’m sure I catch Fauna mumbling a ‘for some people.’ Eww, let’s ignore that and whatever weird shit her and my brother get up to.
‘No!’ Luna stomps and faces us. ‘It was his neck.’
‘And he didn’t like it?’ I ask gently, seeming to be the only one more concerned about how vulnerable she looks right now.
Luna bows her head in defeat. ‘No he… got a bit of a fright.’
Liz chuckles and moves back to her perch in the corner whilst Fauna tips her head back, howling with laughter.
Luna storms for the door.
‘Luna, don’t go,’ I get up. Kicking Fauna in the process and she muffles her laughter. ‘He just probably wasn’t into that sort of stuff, that’s okay. It just means you aren’t the right fit for each other, that’s all.’
‘Isla’s right,’ Fauna gets up and comes to stand beside us, rubbing Luna’s shoulder. ‘I pulled a knife on Ru’s dick the first time we met, and it didn’t faze him in the slightest. In fact, I think it turned him on. You just need to find the right guy to match your kind of crazy.’
Ru did fucking what? No. I don’t want to think about it.
Luna peeks at Fauna between her pink strands. Looking more childlike than her usual crazy, ‘Really?’
Fauna nods, ‘yup and a whole load of other stuff. Like…’
I clear my throat, reminding her that I’m still her boyfriend's sister.
‘Right,’ she winces and whispers. ‘I’ll tell you later.’
That seems to comfort Luna enough for her to be persuaded back into her pillow fort for some rest.
