“You really do all this vigilante stuff? Like, the getup with the bunny ears and the—ahem!—leather and mesh and all that, that was real? I didn’t hallucinate that?”
He’s finally getting it! I beam up at him. “Yep! It was my idea. Not exactly a disguise like in the comics, but it gets me in the zone, y’know? Like, I don’t wear a mask, but just putting on my Bunny suit and ears makes me feel empowered. Like I can take on anyone or anything.”
“Isn’t it super dangerous, though? I mean, even with Kendrick there, you could get shot or stabbed or something.”
I pull down the waist of my leggings just enough to show an old knife scar. “Yep! This one was from a gangbanger who thought he was gonna rape a woman. Joke was on him! Keys spotted him stalking her and sent us after him, and we showed him. Only took seventeen stitches, ‘cuz Doc’s good like that.”
Neil’s Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows hard. “And the gangbanger?”
I draw a finger across my throat in a slashing motion. “Nobody’s problem now.”
His color drains a bit at that, and I remember what Doc told me about some people having trouble with violence. I guess Neil’s one of those guys. I change the subject.
“Oh! Have you seen the control room? Keys has a sweet setup for a geek like you.”
“Yeah, he let me message a friend in BU. It’s pretty cool, if a little chaotic. Those cords everywhere kind of make my OCD twitch a bit.”
Darn. He’s already seen it. I’m running out of things to show him.
“What’s wrong?”
“Huh?”
Neil brushes a lock of hair out of my face. “You look upset. Did I say something wrong?”
“Oh … No, I just realized there maybe isn’t as much to the Burrow as I thought.” My cheeks burn as I catch myself blushing. “I promise, it’s not as boring as it seems. There’s always stuff to do here, it’s just … I don’t know. I guess I got so excited about showing you around that I didn’t think what we’d do when the tour was over.”
He puts an arm around my shoulder and gives me a squeeze. “Don’t worry about it. I’m having a great time, all things considering.”
That makes me feel a bit better, but I still wish there was something else I could do with Neil to keep him entertained. I tap my lip as I struggle to think of something else for us to do. I shrug my shoulders with a sigh. “We could fuck, I guess …”
Neil starts to cough and choke on his own spit. I slap his back a few times until he’s able to breathe properly again.
“Um … I thought you were with Keys …” he manages to get out before he starts another coughing fit.
“Huh?”
“You and Keys. You guys aren’t—I mean, are you …?”
I giggle as I realize what he’s getting at. “You mean are we fucking?”
“Well, uh … yeah. Aren’t you?”
“Of course!” I chirp with a grin. “Doc and Kendrick, too, depending on the day. Sometimes more than one of them. You don’t see any of them around right now, though, do you?”
Neil’s eyes go wide, and his jaw drops. “Well … no …”
“Exactly! They’re all busy with stuff, so it’s just you and me.” I take his hand and start dragging him towards the stairway to the dorms. “C’mon! It’ll be fun.”
“Won’t they get upset?”
I pause, confused by his question. “Why would they?”
“They don’t get jealous if you’re with someone else? I mean, you’re with all of them so I guess maybe not, but … That’s just a weird arrangement. How do you guys work that out? Is there a schedule or something?”
I giggle and go back to pulling him along. “No! Why would we have a schedule? That’s just silly. You don’tschedulesex. You just do it.”
“How do you make sure you don’t get pregnant?”
