Both of them.

Hardly needing to think, James and Sally both pressed against the door. Slowly, it started to open. Aurora made no move to stop them, lost in her own self-hate. James managed to pry his way in, and Sally followed quickly. Aurora had curled herself into a tight ball, fingernails digging into her arms. Violet blood leaked out gently around her nails. James did the only thing he could think to do, and pried her hands from her body to press his palm firmly against hers.

She gasped and looked at them both with shaking breath. The bright orange that lit up the room flickered brown and white. Sally held her own palm forward, and Aurora slowly pushed her palm against it. Her breathing still shook, but fell to a more regular rhythm. After several tense moments of looking at both of them, she slid onto her butt and propped her back against the door, pressing it shut as she did.

All three sat and glanced at each other. Eventually, Sally took a deep breath and spoke. "Well...that happened...why?"

James shook his head. "I don't know... I've been trying to figure that out..."

Aurora seemed to understand at least that they must be talking about their intense threesome in the shower, and tried to mimic eating something. They both looked confused, and she hugged and opened the door. She sprinted into the living room and back, tossing the chocolate bar wrapper onto the floor.

James's eyes widened. "Oh."

Sally looked back and forth between them. "What?"

"She tackled us after she ate that..."

"And?"

"Different biology...different chemical reactions. That must have been like an aphrodisiac."

Sally nodded, taking a deep breath. "Right...chocolate is a sex **** for aliens...noted. What about...", she let herself trail off. Aurora sat down and chirped.

James grabbed the wrapper, folding it up and sticking it in a small trash bin in the corner. He replayed the events in his mind again, and it took several moments before he realized what had happened. "That pink stuff she uh..."

"**** fed us?"

"Yeah. I don't know about you but I couldn't think very clearly after that...I think that has the same effect on us as the chocolate did on her."

"Great...so we all get sex **** and no one knows till after we destroy our ability to look each other in the eye...", she said. Her voice began to quiver.

James paused. "I mean...who said?"

"Well, I can't even look at you without..."

"Playing it back?", he finished. She nodded, staring at the floor. "Yeah...me too."

Aurora moved to the corner, burying her face in her knees and cradling herself. James reached out and touched Sally's shoulder. She winced for a moment before relaxing. "Now what?", she asked.

"I think...now we keep on like we were going to, and try to pretend we didn't."

"Like that can happen...", she sniffled. He could see her trying not to break.

"Then...maybe we just make sure the other is gone before switching places for now, until this processes enough to talk about."

She nodded. "That sounds like the best thing...I can't handle more yet.", tears began to fall from her cheeks.

"We'll figure it out in time...I hope."

"Me too..."

The buzzer from James's dryer in the background told them her clothing was done. She didn't say goodbye, but she did put her hand on Aurora's head when she left the bathroom.
