Rue watched Cassie get into Nate's car with a kiss to his lips, Lydias head rested on her back as she biked down the road. "When do I turn?"

"Can we stop at the store first?" Lydia asked, Rue ignored her but headed for the corner store just around the corner. As they came to a stop, she got off first. "Do you want to come with me?"

"Into the store?" Rue looked up. "Okay."

She leaned her bike on the side of the store, walking in with Lydia as she watched her. "What are we getting?"

"Do you wanna share a Orange Soda?" Lydia looked back at her.

I really fucking hated Orange Soda.

"Yeah." Rue gave her a smile, watching as Lydia grabbed it and headed for the counter, she threw in a bag of the purple Doritos as well.

I hated those even more.

"We can share those too." Lydia gave an awkward smile her way.

"Cool." Rue returned it, watching as Lydia paid with a five as they headed back go her bike. "Ugh, are you comfortable back there?"

"Yeah." Lydia hummed. "I don't live far."

Rue climbed on, letting Lydia grab her waist. "On?"

"On." she confirmed, holding the bag between them as her arms tightened around Rues waist and shut her eyes as she peddled off. Lydia gave the short directions, Rue pulling up to the apartment complex a few streets away. "It's kinda small."

"No, it's good." Rhe shook her head. "What about my bike?"

"You can bring it with you." Lydia suggested as Rue did so, the pair walking up the stairs. Lydia kept looking back to make sure Rue was behind her, offering to help with the bike, but declined. They made it to the top of the roof as Rue left it by the door. "Do you like it?"

Rue looked around. "I like it."

Lydia sat on the chair near the ledge, Rue taking the other one. The wind blew just perfectly onto the pair, the lights from the city all that was lighting them up. Rue watched her. "Was it bad?"

Lydia looked down at the bottom of the apartment complex. "It was really bad."

"Do you want to tell me?" she offered with a curious look in her eye.

Lydia looked over at her. "I just want to exist with someone who doesn't want to ask me about it."

Rue gave another tight lipped smile. "I can do that."

"Oh, this is Lydia." Rue hummed as she realized Jules was looking at her oddly.

"Is she gonna be in the interview too or is it just a me thing?" Elliot spoke up in questioning as he got the lamp shoved in his face.

Lydia gave a hesitant look. "I-I'm just here because you're suppose to be teaching me physics."

"She's just here because he's suppose to be teaching her physics." Rue waved her off as Lydia rested her head on her knees.

"Do you wanna fuck Rue?" Jules put her attention back on Elliot. Lydia choked on a laugh as she hid it with a cough.

"Allergies." she waved the odd looks off.

"Not now." Elliot frowned his eyebrows.

"So, you're straight?" Jules went on to question him.

"Kinda." he shrugged.

"Are you gay?" the blonde started to question.

Elliot exhaled. "Kinda."

"So, you're bi?" Jules rose her eyebrows with a single nod.

"Well, I don't think of it that way." he corrected her, Lydia frowned her eyebrows as she listened.

"What do you mean? You never, like, thought about your sexuality?" Jules looked af him in disbelief.

"Or took an Am I Gay quiz?" Lydia turned her head, her cheek pressed into her knee. They all looked her way oddly. "What? We've all been there."

"Have you guys fucked?" Elliot spoke up as he motioned between Rue and Jules. "Is that a thing?"

"Elliot, i'm asking you a fucking question." Jules snapped at him slightly.

"Why did she avoid that question?" Elliot looked to Rue.

"Maybe because two girls don't want a man knowing if they've had sex." Lydia gave a tight lipped smile as Elliot met her eye. "Just a logical observation from a fellow woman loving woman gaze."

I didn't know Lydia liked girls until then, maybe it kinda made me happy.

"Why did you dodge the question?" Rue looked at the back of Jules' head.

"How many girls have you fucked?" Jules ignored Rue and went on to question Elliot.

"Like, technically three." he explained with a questionable look.

Jules frowned her eyebrows. "Technically?"

"I mean technically the first girl was two seconds, it was embarrassing, she probably wouldn't count it. She would not count it." Elliot shook his head as he met her eye.

"I've actually heard a lot of guys do that the first time." Lydia hummed as they looked her way. "More then half the male population actually, even after the first time. The average time is five and a half minutes."

"I'm sorry, can I ask why you know this?" Elliot asked her oddly. "Have you fucked a bunch of guys?"

"No." Lydia pulled her knees up more. "My aunt is a sex therapist."

"I love that." Rue leaned over and held her hand out. "Give me some."

Lydia high fived her.

"How many guys have you fucked?" Jules went on to question Elliot again.

"Forty-Three." he said in return.

"Are you serious?" Jules gapped.

"Damn." Rue hummed.

"I'm kidding." he cracked a grin in return. "How many guys have you fucked?"

"She doesn't want to answer that question because she's kinda a whore." Rue said in return as she pulled Lydias sunglasses on her face.

"Oh." Lydia gapped.

"A whore?" Jules and Elliot asked on sync.

"Slut." Rue held her hand up. "She's a slut. I was gonna say slut but then whore just came out."

"Wait, how many guys have you fucked?" Elliot looked to Jules once again in questioning.

"You know, that is an excellent question, Jules." Rue took the sun glasses off. "How many guys have you been with?"

"The average woman, age between sixteen and sixty, has four to six sexual partners in their life." Lydia exhaled loudly as she leaned on her knees again. "Both hetero and lesbian woman."

"It's not an excellent questions." Jules waved her and Rue both off. "In fact, it's an irrelevant question cause i'm not longer interest in men, so."

"How many men do you have to fuck to no longer be interest in men?" Elliot squinted from the light, but he was more then curious.

"Ugh, i'll tell you if you promise to never tell Rue." Jules smiled.

"Are you for real right now?" Rue gapped. "Fine, Lydia."

"Yes?" she rubbed the back of her neck.

"I'm gonna tell you a secret that you can't tell Jules." she said in return, getting a nod.

"Woah, really?" Elliot laughed as Jules whispered in his ear. "That's fucked up. That's, like, a mentally ill amount of people."

"Okay." Rue crawled into the floor with Lydia, cupping her hands around her ear. "I don't really have a secret."

"Rue! How could you not tell your own girlfriend that?" Lydia went on with her act with a fake gasp.

"What?" Jules looked over in questioning.

"What did she say?" Rue looked to Elliot.

"It's, like, bad." Elliot shook his head.

"Wait, do you really think so?" Jules looked slightly embarrassed.

"No. Who gives a shit?" he gave her a minor smile. "You're a nun."

"How am I a nun?" she grabbed.

"You're a trans girl, wearing a binder, asking me weather i'm straight or gay." Elliot rose his eyebrows in her direction.

"I thought nuns were all the phobics?" Lydia hummed in questioning. "Is she a non homophobic and non transphobic nun?"

"Exactly." Elliot agreed.

"I'm navigating a largely, straight, binary world." Jules shrugged in response.

"You sound like you're navigating a twitter thread." Elliot argued.

"But, you know what I mean. Like, most people are straight." Jules pointed out.

"15% of our generation is LGBTQA+." Lydia exhaled with a nod of her head. Her phone went off. "And on that note, it's my time to leave."

"Wait, where are you going?" Rue stood up with her.

Lydia took a double take to Elliot and Jules. "Home."

"I'll bike you over." Rue nodded, the pair leaving without a goodbye. "Where are we actually going?"

"Councilor." Lydia looked back at Rue.

"Councilor?" she frowned her eyebrows.

Lydia stopped at her bike, rocking on her heels. "Do you...wanna come with me?"
