Samantha woke up to the sound of labored breathing. She turned around in the bed immediately, knowing who it was coming from.

"Sam, help-" Juliet managed to talk through the dyspnea.

Sam bolted out of bed and towards Juliet's bedside table, where she grabbed her girlfriend's inhaler, before helping her sit up on the bed and giving it to her. She hadn't even put on her glasses or turned on the lights, but having memorized their bedroom's layout, those hadn't been needed.

Five long minutes passed of Juliet slowly recovering her normal breathing patterns.

Sam had learned over the years that the most recurrent reasons for Juliet's asthma attacks were stress and the weather. There was still three weeks until the colder weather of autumn started, so it must have been stress this time. Forensic pathology wasn't an easy job at all, even if Juliet had a deep fascination with it.

Sudden attacks at night were almost nonexistent in her girlfriend's case, but that didn't mean they couldn't happen, and Samantha had developed a habit of entering in a state of panic if they were ever to occur in the evening, much less in the middle of the night.

"I'm okay now, Sam. Thank you"

"Are you fully sure?"

"Yes, I'll be fine, don't worry"

"I don't think it's safe for you to go back to sleep yet."

"Well, you start the month with two days of vacation, and tomorrow is my day off, so… How about we go to the planetarium tomorrow?"

"Movie night and then planetarium morning."

"Heck yeah!"

Bilcanna siblings sexualities

What boredom makes a person do. Anyway, have this

Samantha - Homoromantic Demisexual Jake - Heteroromantic Bisexual Jack "Lantern" - Aromantic Reciprosexual (isn't into romance, but could experience sexual attraction if the other person shows attraction to him first) Jack "Eden" - Omniromantic Polysexual (can feel romantic attraction to basically any gender but could have one or a few favourites in the bunch, and can also experience sexual attraction to most, though not all, gender identities)

Extra note: While the first three are all cis, "Eden" is actually demigender, in his case, he feels he could be agender but still feels some connection to the male gender. So while he lets "he/him" be his main pronouns when it comes to unfamiliar people and friends in general, not that it bothers him in any way, when with friends and family members he trusts a lot, he'd rather they try to refer to him as "they/them" if they could, even if it isn't always

Any questions regarding these little weirdos are welcome!

Part of "In Mortality", an au of Cut Down The Altar (creator will be in the tags)

October 5th, 2004 - 9:38 A.M Newark, Essex county, New Jersey

"Yeah, I know this open air restaurant just three kilometers from campus. They serve these awesome salads for cheap, and the starters are for free. Ain't that cool?"

"Sounds just perfect! Do you and the rest want to go to Scorpion's afterwards?"

"You and your cheesecake… Heh, just messing around. I think the others wouldn't mind, so yeah."

"Ah, my coffee's ready. See you all tomorrow, then?"

"You bet it, girl! Need to get ready for biology class, but everyone will be there, I swear!"

"Okay, have a good one!"

Talking with Autumn was always a pleasant thing. While she was the confident goth pathology student, Samantha was the reserved and modest medical student, but despite looking like complete opposites, they actually had a lot of common interests, as well as a shared feeling of freedom in college, where they could finally feel free from their family, which neither of them visited.

Autumn came from a deeply dysfunctional home, where she and her younger brother were forced to take up all the responsibilities their parents were supposed to have as caretakers, and all the money for her college she had saved up by herself.

Samantha, on the other hand, almost wished her parents forgot about her existence growing up. Not that her family was fundamentally broken, not really, but being the only normal person in the middle of a bunch of psychopaths wasn't exactly pleasant either, and all their extended family was like that too.

It had taken all the years getting a Bachelor's for Sam to look in the mirror without feeling disgusted or afraid. Blonde hair from an all too twisted mother, brown eyes from the constant looming presence that was her father, facial features of a father's mother with a sick sense of humor, and eye shape and height from a mother's father whom she might as well have inherited the attribute of being normal, given she never met him due to his too early death, a topic his wife never talked about.

But now that she was in her second year of her residency, Samantha Bilcanna looked in the mirror and just saw herself, not a mush of her family. Sam was just Sam, shy and studious, wanting to prove that the Bilcanna name could bring some good into the world.

Grabbing her coffee and looking out the window into the late sunrise, she reflected.

She had a group of supportive friends who wouldn't abandon her, a gorgeous and kind girlfriend, and very understanding teachers along the way. Her dream career was growing ever closer, and she finally felt like moving on from her past in Nox was becoming easier and easier with time.

She wasn't the easy to scare "Hamantha", as her younger brothers used to mock her, anymore. Sam was just Sam.
