of all the stars

Ki was in the bathroom brushing her teeth the next morning when the memories of the night before came flooding in.

"Holy shit." She mumbled, dropping her toothbrush down on the counter.

"That was real?" She looked into the mirror.

Ki quickly rinsed out her brush, and came to a panic. She no longer wanted to leave the bathroom without coming to terms with everything that had happened.

"Okay so obviously you had a panic attack... and then... Lyra woke up and fucking cradled you..."

Ki held on to the counter as she spoke to herself in the mirror.

"But then... oh my god... then the story of her brother... shit... and you held her hand again and... wait..."

Ki stopped in her tracks.

"Fuck."

She stared into her reflection.

"Lyra is bi?!"

"Is that... is that real?"

"No that had to be your imagination coping with things right?"

"Right?!"

Ki closed her eyes and bit her lip in contemplation.

"That was real."

She opened her eyes again.

"Holy shit."
