roommates / two lunatics

“keep one another’s knives in the kitchen drawer like instruments on a mantel.”

domestic spaces that are dangerous; intimacy that’s porous and weaponized.

PLOT NOTES

thinking maybe they went to school together for a long time but were kept apart by their parents (who could see that there was something dark in both of their daughters at risk of multiplying when allowed to interact) and then they ended up roommates somehow?? and basically discover that they are desperately attracted to one another because of this

end up together years later (uni? post-grad housing? city share). neither planned it, but it feels engineered by fate

first weeks are tense but polite, the way predators sniff each other before biting

then the old magnetism floods back. paige is reckless with it, azzi composed and predatory

thinking of one scene when they were in private high school where paige brushes past azzi but yanks her skirt down when azzi begins to roll it like the other popular girls and keeps doing it until one day azzi grabs her by the wrist and says nothing and there's a weird tension and then they #neveraddressitagain

paige’s compulsion → perv!p, but disguised as caretaking: she can’t stand azzi showing herself like the others, so she yanks her skirt back into “modesty.” except it’s herself she’s protecting, not azzi.

azzi’s response → patient, passive, lets paige keep doing it until one day she doesn’t. that silent wrist-grab is lily: she asserts control with calmness, not words, and suddenly the dynamic shifts. paige is caught.

later echoes:

“you’ve always had (wanted?) your hands on me. did you think i didn’t notice?

p catches azzi adjusting her clothes again (rolling sleeves, slipping socks off), and the memory slams into her. 

maybe p even subconsciously reaches like she used to, but stops short this time.

᪥ secret agent!paige x civilian!azzi whose memory has been suppressed

paige pulls her out of the water with a firm hand around her chin. 

“should you be this invested in someone else’s wife?” azzi asks, her voice raspy.

“you were mine.” 

“i don’t remember that.”

paige tilts her head, her sleek bun making the ridges of her face more defined. “you can feel it though.”

beneath the water, the hollow between azzi’s thighs ache. she squeezes her legs together as paige’s fingertips trail across the skin.
