Fyr was none the wiser as to what was going on as Car and Sasha continued fucking behind her back. Some part of Car told him that he knew that it was all "conventionally" wrong, that he should not have been going behind her back to do it, but, well...he didn't honestly see what else he was to do. Something could be right and wrong at the same time, he had heard once, but he was sure that they had not been talking about having a girlfriend while fucking her mother at the same time.
Fuck. It was a crude word and a crude word fit the situation as, helpless to his lusts, he spiralled more and more. He only knew that he needed Sasha in his life, one way or another, and there was no way for him to take back what had been spent between them so far. There were too many things, too many risky moments, too many first times -- too many altogether for him to even consider going back.
He thought he should, sometimes, tossing and turning in the dead of the night. Even to the point that Fyr roused beside him, asking him if he was okay, if he needed anything, if he was unwell. He didn't like lying to her, though the stomach-churning guilt still ended up overridden by lust and, well...yes, love too. Although it had not yet been said aloud, it was clear to the drake that his heart was split between two dragonesses, his love in both places at once. No one had ever told him that he was only ever meant to love one, but the media had said so. The relationships around him had said so.
He loved them both and Fyr didn't know anything about it. At least, that was what Car thought.
Fyr watched them, sometimes up close, sometimes from a distance, a smile on her lips. It still warmed her heart to see Carenath gaming with Kao, even if she did not always engage with it anymore. Kao even came around to their little apartment to hang out with Car, though not as often as they had gotten together before, Sasha more often than not with him. She hadn't thought that her mother would still be around so much after she'd moved out and, while at first she'd been glad, it had gotten a little stifling.
She was always there, eyes on her back while Fyr was making dinner, trying to live up to her mother's standards, still feeling the pressure of being in the family home. As much as she loved her mother, she'd thought that moving out would at least glean her a little space, though it seemed like she had had even less space than before the summer had begun. In fact, now that she thought about it...she had her mother around more since she'd met Car.
But what did that mean? Did her mother think that the two of them were getting too close, that they were moving too quickly? It wasn't that uncommon for those in their early twenties, particularly if they were studying, to live together, moving perhaps a little more quickly than they would have if they'd been in their thirties. Yet Sasha had always seemed to approve of Car, even saying that, verbally, to Fyr, without any prompting.
Fyr sighed quietly, using the lift of a wing to hide the movement of her chest, not wanting questions asked. Maybe she shouldn't think about it too much, not when everything was going so well. She could go out or something with Car or even take a long weekend together and then she would have some space from her mother. Things would be all right. How could they not be all right when she was in her first rented apartment and everyone around her couldn't stop smiling?
But the feeling of unease, something that she couldn't quite put her finger on as if she was missing something right before her eyes, remained. It churned and gurgled in the pit of her stomach, indigestion paraded as the culprit, but the pills from the supermarket drugstore didn't seem to settle it and neither did her peppermint tea. She felt like an old lady dragoness, drinking peppermint tea, but it had helped her in the past. She had the same sensitive stomach, from time to time, that her mother did.
It didn't help, for some reason that she did not understand, that Car always seemed to be over at her mother's house. Fyr wasn't so sure how she felt about spending so much time there anymore, considering that it was the house she had grown up in for a good many years and held memories of other times, times when she had been a child and her mother had been the only adult in the house. Those were times where the dynamic between them had been more than a little different and it was hardly a time that she honestly wanted to go back to. As much as she loved her mother, she preferred being an adult and talking about adult things with her.
She seemed to be thinking that she loved her mother a lot too lately, as if she was trying to convince herself of something. I love her, I love her, I love her. But why did she have to say it repeatedly to herself?
One Saturday, she slung her handbag strap over her shoulder, the weight of it bumping softly against her hip, only her phone, wallet and coin purse inside.
"Aren't you coming, Car?"
The drake looked up from where he was putting his sturdy boots on, head drawn slightly back as if he had been caught off-guard.
"Oh! Sorry, are you going out?"
Fyr sighed and adjusted the strap, her fingers curling around it, though that did not help make it feel as if the weight was more settled at all.
"Carenath..." She said slowly, resisting the urge to shake her head -- that was too much. "You said you were going to come with me to the park today and go around the shops afterwards. I don't need new clothes, don't worry, you're not going to have to stand around holding bags. Just had a few projects in mind. Don't you remember talking about this?"
The drake fumbled with his laces, halfway through lacing up the work boots.
"Uh, well... Yeah, of course! Let's go while we still have time."
Fyr did shake her head that time, brushing her fingers back across the top of her skull, behind the frill on the right side, with a sigh.
