sensing some underlying tension, lyra decides it’s best not to ask. not that she doesn’t want to know (because she totally does) but there’s no real need to put a damper on the subject, especially not when this somebody they’re talking about is their soulmate. “you two met so young,” she remarks, a soft awe in her tone. “so young and you already knew - i know things will end up just right between you two. when you know, you know.” she purses her lips thoughtfully, staring off into space as she considers the paradox. “kinda’ like that berenstein, berenstain thing, y'know? two timelines. crazy stuff.”

“Yeah, I suppose we did.” They said with a shrug, as if it was something they had never thought about it. But it was, mostly because people around them seemed to have constantly reminded them how young they were anytime the two did anything. “I mean, I don’t think I knew instantly. Granted his first sentence to me was something about dick. But I feel like I knew pretty early on.” They said, another shrug following. “I hope so. I mean, you never know what could or couldn’t happen. But I just hope things turn out well.” They said, a short sigh following. “Yeah, that’s true. So what about you? You’ve asked me a lot of questions so now it’s your turn to answer. You have any soul mates you know of?”

“Why can’t I stop watching these crappy true-crime shows? Every story is the same and the dramatizations are SO bad but…I can’t look away! Someone save me!”

“I know exactly what you mean. Like you know what you’re watching isn’t that good but you’re still going to end up spending five hours watching it. Happens to me every time.”

Leo hummed quietly to himself as he listened to their reason for why he should feel important if he would ever discover another planet. Sure his reasoning was more then valid but there was something about the vast dark emptiness of the space that made his chest tighten and there are no riches in the world that would make him decide to travel to another planet. “Yeah you’re right, I’d be fuckin’ important and you’d eventually have to worship my greatness” A sly smile appeared on his full lips. “Well yes you do write books about space but if you think about it with your writing you bring other people to places they never thought they’d be. So I would say that you’re really important”

Exploring other planets had always been a dream of Nio’s. The type of dream where you accept that it’s not exactly realistic but in your mind you can tell yourself that it’s real. Or at least that it’s possible. “Worship your greatness?” They questioned with a laugh as they looked over at their friend. “Awe, how motivational. I mean, I do write books about space but you know. I could be in space writing books about space too. Gay space books. Can you think of anything more perfect?” They mused. “Ugh, but enough about space. What have you been up to anyway? Anything new since we last spoke?”

“Well, surely if we become immortal then you’ll have the time to study science shit?” Archie asked with a raised brow, “There’s definitely aliens. And parallel universes. So there’s definitely a universe out there where our female counterparts are having the exact same conversation. Anything’s possible, bro.” The man held his hands up before waving them about, “Wubba lubba dub duuuub!” Because obviously he couldn’t not quote Rick and Morty.

“Biologically immortal, it’s different than regular immortality. Either way it would take years to develop and they wouldn’t just let some non-scientist person like me be immortal first.” They sighed. “I mean, I don’t really think that there would be an alternate universe that has that because that just kind of reinforces gender stereotypes and roles which I don’t really believe in.” they said with a shrug. “I have no idea what that’s supposed to be. I’m hoping it’s a reference to something.”

. - he found himself falling silent, needing a moment to really process how this entire year could have been so simply avoided. he finally gave into the pull, letting himself step forward. there was a flutter in his chest at the sight of the ring being offered back to him even if he didn’t know the exact thought process behind it.

‘you never slept with him? ever? you didn’t you didnt sleep with him.’ he was rambling, attempting to wrap his head around the fact that he was the one who had broke them up he’d overreacted, he’d known he had a tendency to do that but he’d never thought that had been the downfall of their marriage.

it took a great deal of self control not to snatch it back, he’d felt so empty without it even if it had on;y been a few days. ‘ what does what does that mean?’ he questions timidly as he takes another step forward. ‘ where is yours? y-your ring? did you get rid of it already?’

As more silence fell between them, Nio thought about the last year. How things could have been different. How if the two had actually tried to talk to each other and not fight over a coffee maker at 3am, things wouldn’t be as they are now.

“I didn’t sleep with him.” They repeated after Nova’s rambling. They were quiet as they let him process everything. While they tried to put themselves in his shoes and see it from his perspective. Something that before, they had refused to do.

“ I just- I’m sorry. For everything.” They said, voice somehow quieter than before. Their ring was in the box that it had come in. Originally put here in anger but kept there because looking at it brought too many memories. “I still have it, it’s at home.”

“I can’t even begin to tell you how many students got angry with me because they received low grades on their recent test.” Harsh words from students was something that Daniel had gotten used to, granted he was a harsh kind of teacher but he would always give kids the kind of grade he thought they deserved. “If the younger generation actually took the time to study, they would be receiving solid a’s, not d’s and f’s.” He rolled his eyes and huffed, taking a sip out of his coffee cup that was freshly filled to the brim with black coffee. “God forbid they take five minutes to go over their study guide at night, or in, you know, a study hall.”

“Students do get upset when they receive bad grades.” Arsenio said as they looked at the man before shrugging. “Sometimes it’s not just them.” They added. “You can’t blame somebody for not being able to learn in an educational setting the promotes learning in only one way and adds excess pressure that everything that happens will impact their future.. It’s a lot of unnecessary stress. Not to mention each person is going to excel at different things and fail at others. I just don’t get why it’s expected that every person should be good at everything.” They rambled before a yawn escaped them. They had barely slept the night before and they were tired. “That’s just what I think though.”

shared political views are always a good sign. lyra is hooked, though, on ‘soulmate’. a sucker for love stories if there ever was one. “tell me about this soulmate. what are they like? where’d you meet? are you together right now?” she gives a slow nod, though her brows are furrowed in deep thought. “i guess you’re right,” she muses aloud, tone of voice lilting in a slight upturn as she accepts what they’ve said for now. “time travel, that’s something i can’t even comprehend. if you go back and prevent, like, your parents from meeting, how do you exist in present time to be able to stop them from meeting? who even knows?”

“That’s a lot of questions. We met in high school and we dated and got married and now,” They shrugged. “I don’t really know. I mean, we met in high school and dated and got married but right now, I’m not really sure where we are.” It was a topic that would rather avoid going into more detail about. “But yeah, I’m pretty certain I’ve already met my soul mate.” They said as if it were a matter of fact. “I guess.” They said with a shrug as they looked at her. “I think about it a lot. Maybe if you do that it creates a different timeline. So in one timeline you don’t exist but in another you do. So it would be similar to parallel universe in a way.”

. -‘ replace me. nova repeated, more sure in his words this time. everyone kept saying the same thing, how time would heal things. it didn’t seem like the ache that was nio leaving was ever going to dull though. ‘ i was here, sleeping in our bed, waiting for you to come home and you were out fu-’ the angry words fall short as his brain finally processes nio’s words. ROOMMATE.

there is a tense moment, where nova can’t bare to look at nio. his mind is - rather unhelpfully - supplying images of what the last year lost could have been if only they had communicated, if he had confronted nio and given them a chance to defend themselves. for one thing, there would probably be a ring on his finger still. maybe less alcohol dependency from him too.

‘ roommate?’ he finally voices, a millon emotions crossing over his features in the space of a single heartbeat. ‘roommate, you…you had a roommate. of course you’d need a roommate in new york…’ the words are mumbled to himself, unsure how he’d managed to be so stupid. ‘ i-i came the weekend after you sent me the address. i brought food and - and..was going to discuss our future. - i-i,in my defense if you came to my place and an incredibly hot guy in a towel answers and tells you i’m ‘still in bed’- where would your mind go?’

Nio went quiet as Nova continued, their eyes falling back to the ground, their thumb going across the ring in their pocket. Silence fell for several moments as Nio tries to think of something to say as Nova went quiet. Words were completely lost of them as they looked back at Nova.

While they were in New York, the most painful thing for them was how easy Nova had let them go. Sure, they had been the ones to leave, but they had told him where they were. They had told him how to get to them and yet, Nio never thought he bothered. The realization that he had tried, that he had gone to New York, struck them.

“Roommate.” They said again, after a few seconds of silence as they forced away the lump in their throat as tears begun to sting their eye. “I didn’t know that.” As they spoke, their voice was just above a whisper now. “I don’t know where my mind would go.” They didn’t know what they were doing as they stood anxiously. They pulled the ring out of their pocket, still with the chain on it, before holding it out for Nova to take. “You should take it back. It’s yours.” They said, now looking away from him again.

“Now why do you say that? Your existence doesn’t piss me off, not that it counts for anything but still.” Trying to be nice in any way she possibly could was something that came naturally to the brunette. She was filled with sincerity and honesty. “An apple juice coming right up! We have a long night ahead of us.” Audrey went to collect all the snacks and beverages for the both of them and then placed the items in a separate bag away from the equipment. “Don’t worry, I seem weird for this but at least you’ll be able to say you had a ghost hunting experience.”

“Because the entire time I’m going to be questioning if they’re real or not and if they are then they’ll be annoyed that I’m questioning it. If they even speak English, I mean, I feel like there are probably a lot of ghosts that are ancient. Again, if ghosts exist.” They said, mostly rambling as they spoke. “I mean, I was going to spend my evening rewatching Netflix shows so at least this is something to liven up my schedule.”

ftporter:

“Well, what can I say,” She said with a smile. “Audrey Porter is just full of surprises.” She had grown up hooked on the idea that there was life after death or some kind of universe where the living could connect with those who had passed. “Just don’t piss any of them off and you should be aye okay.” She outstretched her arm and held out the blue bag in front of Arsenio. “Can you put the equipment back in the bag while I go get us some snacks and beverages? Also, What do you want? Since I’m dragging you into this situation, I’ll at least buy you some stuff. Just to make it half fair.”

“Yes, apparently you are.” They said, a laugh following their statement. They were never sure or unsure about the afterlife. They believed in the impossibility just as much as they believed in the possibility. “My existence will end up pissing them off I’m sure.” Yeah, I can do that. Umm, I don’t know. Apple juice? Apple juice is good.” They said as they returned the equipment she had out back into the blue bag that was handed to them.

Leo was long used to their rambling, he was used to lying around with his eyes closed, listening to them talking about everything and anything so he wasn’t particularly surprised when their mundane conversation turned into something entirely different. “I know it’s weird. Think about it, I could have been a fuckin’ president, instead I’m lying around doing absolutely nothing” He let out a soft chuckle before slightly turning his head around to get a better look at them. “But I wouldn’t want to go to space, it scares me to death. It makes me feel small and unimportant, I hate it”

“Yeah, that’s true.” They said as they sat back, looking over at Leo as he started talking. “But also if you were the president that would be pretty awful. too much responsibility.” They decided with a serious nod. “Really? I mean, would you really feel unimportant when you are the first person to ever walk on an exoplanet? You would be the next Neil Armstrong. But even better because it wouldn’t be a moon. It would be a whole different planet in a completely different solar system.” They mused, pausing for a short time as they imagine it before sighing. “Instead, I write books about space instead of being there.”

“Prioritised your life better?” Archie quirks a brow, before sipping at the straw of his soda as he pondered the thought for a moment longer. “I don’t think changing priorities would give you the chance to go to another planet, I mean we’re all still struggling to deal with Mars! There’s definitely other life out there though, I mean, we’d all be pretty dumb to assume out of the entire infinite universe that we’re the only living thing.”

“Yeah.” They said with a faux tone of seriousness before they took a sip of their water. “I mean, you say that but it could. Yes, we are, but what if in this life time we find out how to become biologically immortal? Then I could have lived long enough to explore deep space except I can’t because I’m not a scientist. Well, obviously we’re not the only living thing. I just want to see what other living things there are.”

“ a little bit, yeah, but space exploration is MUCH more interesting.” the blonde reassured. “imagine meeting these alien dudes and becoming best friends with them. it’s E.T. in real life!” ronnie giggled. “if you ever prioritize your life, i’d be more than happy to kickstart a gofundme for you.”

“I’m glad you think so.” They mused. “I mean, I like to think they would be cooler than E.T. I mean. Don’t get me wrong, E.T. was okay but really. Real aliens would be great. Also thank you. I’m so glad I can fund my future with gofundme.”

“oh yeah?” lyra inquires, closing her paper and letting it sit in her lap as she leans forward, ready to obliviously nose into other peoples’ business, as she’s been prone to do. “but what if you’d walked outside and the next person you met turned out to be your new best friend, or your soulmate, or the future president of the united states.” that last one’s a toss-up with the whole ‘tragedy’ thing, but lyra keeps it in anyway. “that seems a little scarier to me, if i’m honest. just.. letting the chips fall where they may.”

“Yeah.” They said with a simple shrug of their shoulders as the other woman leaned forward. “I mean, if I’m meeting them outside I doubt I’m going to have a long conversation with them, I have already met my soulmate, and the current president is shit so why should I look forward to meeting a future one?” They said as they fiddled with the phone in their hands. “I guess some people just see things differently. I just don’t think reading what is ‘going’ to happen to me is really going to change what’s going to happen. Or maybe it’s like time travelling where you go back in time to try to stop something and you just end up causing it to happen.”

. - there are so many things he wants to ask, so many things he needs to know before he can truly attempt to move forward in his life but every single one of them is getting trapped in his throat. his mind is screaming ‘ i still love you ‘ but he’s fighting against himself to keep that statement buried deep inside. ‘ why did you move on so quick? it took me months to get the idea that i was yours out of my head -’ that’s a lie, his mind still conjures up memories of nio every time he lets someone else touch him. ‘ yet it took you a few weeks to replace me’

there is a slight scoff at the blatant lie nio decides to send his way, accompanied by his trademark eye roll. this entire year he’d wished endlessly for them to come home but now they had, he wished they’d stayed where they were. far away from him. at least with hundreds of miles between them there was a spark of hope that it wouldn’t really end.

‘ why wasn’t i good enough?’ and nova rarely shows insecurities, nova rarely has insecurities but now, now his skin itches with what could have been if only he’d been enough. ‘ why was some dumb new yorker who clearly needed a haircut enough when i wasn’t. we were still MARRIED and you ran off to new york and hopped into bed with the first guy who laid eyes on you while i sat at home waiting.’

The accusation baffled Arsenio, their eyebrows furrowing together. they hadn’t moved on, they never moved on. All of the time spent in New York and all they could think about, all they wanted, was to be back in Morris- to be back with Nova. The words stung Nio. Not just the idea that Nova would believe they had moved on, but the idea that Nova had. “Replace you?” They questioned.

Their fingers ran back through their fingers before they slid their hands into their pockets, their hand wrapping around the ring that was there. As Nova continued on in his accusation, it made sense then who he was talking about. It was far from Nio moving on or sleeping with some stranger. “Nova.” They said as they looked at him, their voice finally calm.

“Nova,” They repeated, to be sure he would actually listen, “that was my roommate.” They said, emphasizing the word. “I hadn’t been sleeping with him.” They shook their head, another long breath escaping. They could see Nova was insecure, they knew him well enough to know that. “I hadn’t slept with anyone the entire time I was in New York. Especially not my roommate and I can’t stress the word roommate enough. Aside from that, when were you in New York?”

#c;nova

“I mean, don’t get me wrong. I love writing but everyday I keep reading about how new planets are discovered and all I can think is I could be one of the first person to explore those planets if I had prioritized my life better. I mean, imagine going to a different planet! It would be amazing. Especially if there was other life there.” They said as they looked at the other person they were conversing with. “I’m pretty sure I just got completely off topic though. Didn’t I? That happens a lot.”

“mine says that the moon will move into my communications zone today, and i should use it to make more connections to the world before a mercury-mars connection later today draws up excess nervousness.” lyra nodded profoundly, eyes wide with wonder as she finished reading the aquarius horoscope at the bottom of the newspaper. she tilted her head up to meet the eyes of the person across from her, newspaper still open in her lap. hey, might as well start making a connection before the whole mercury-mars thing. “i can read you your horoscope too, if you’d like. what’s your sign?”

“Oh, that’s um...interesting I think.” Arsenio said as they looked up from their phone and looked at the woman that was sat across from them. “No thanks, the last time I read my horoscope I was scared to go outside in case the next person I met was destined to turn my life into a tragedy.” They said with a shrug. “I’ve decided avoiding my horoscope is sometimes better than living in fear.” They mused, offering a smile. “Thanks anyway though.”
