Roma kissed Kali’s forehead, and Kali smiled, rubbing her cheek against Roma’s soft blue shoulder. “I don’t think boys are frustrating. Maybe a little...hmm...confusing sometimes? But not so much frustrating. Most of my best friends are boys. Khari, and Uncle Roo, and Amet, he’s really pretty with these cool scales. And of course Reilly and Baddie, they’re boys too. I don’t think I’ve ever been frustrated by them. Well. Maybe a little exasperated, especially by Dad. But only a little.”
She sighed and snuggled in, closing her eyes and just feeling the warmth of Roma beside her, of Roma’s wing draped over her. And then something she’d said made Kali’s brow wrinkle. “...hey, Roma?” she asked softly, hesitant. Anxiety tightened her chest, her belly, set her skin to prickling as she asked, “What do you mean, about things not being allowed because you’re so close to someone? Aren’t the people you’re closest to the ones you want to do new things with?”
Was that maybe what Khari was talking about? Why it had to be secret? That didn’t make any sense, who else would she want to touch her like that but somebody she was really close to? But if they weren’t supposed to for some reason, maybe that was why Dad would hate him, why they had to keep it secret. Maybe it was a bad secret, even if it didn’t feel bad at all.
Kali bit her lip and kept her face snuggled up against Roma’s shoulder, her eyes still closed so she didn’t have to meet Roma’s. So she wouldn’t see too much. Her ears flicked back and she tucked herself up under Roma’s wing; it felt a little safer tucked away there where less of her was visible.
Er, where it was nice and warm. Yeah.
