Under the Same Sky

knowing that Kris does have feelings for Susie, and that Susie's ability to feel comfortable expressing hers depends in large part on reciprocity

their respective body language makes so much sense:

Kris doesn't feel like they can/should express their feelings for Susie but they want to, so they take a step back but don't actually let go once they've gotten that close, while Susie leans forward at the same time as they lean back

Susie, mistaking Kris pulling her close for reciprocal desire (in this case, to also want to bite her hair lol like she wants to bite theirs) (because they aren't normal) tries to close the distance further

and she's actually really upset that Kris rejects that advance when she thought it was something they initiated!

"it's okay, let her stay with them."

This is from the au (?) where susie finds kris and noelles unconscious bodies at the lake

In the context of this piece, she carried them both on her back to the hospital as fast as she could

It's been a few days without either of them waking up but other than kris' sleep deprivation and lack of eating, the doctors cant find whats wrong with them and noelle...
