lighter clicks, flickers, lights. strong hands guide the lighter smoothly over a bowl of expertly packed flower, pulling a long drag from the pipe in his hands. it’s late. the people who care about someone smoking weed in the street have long since gone to bed, and jared miller sits against a brick wall, drowned in darkness.  glitter glistens on his cheeks as the lighter flickers on again, and cool hazel eyes meet wandering brown, a smirk pulls at his lips as the flame is replaced with smoke in a smooth exhale through his mouth and back into his nose. “you’re staring.”

“Jealous?” A laugh escapes his lip as he lets smoke curl off his lips, watching Jude from where he was sitting at. “Of what exactly? The fact that you kissed someone?” Laughter still despite the fact that his eyes were bored, almost tired in a way. “Actually proud that you finally found someone to waste time with other than me.”

“Thinking’s overrated. And I’m really not one to judge. My whole life is based on spontaneity and chaos, after all,” he shrugs. “But honestly, dude? You yeeted yourself at a police car.” He laughed. “I’m actually impressed. You did some pretty impressive parkour type shit to get away from the asshole too.”

“don’t be dramatic. it’s just a flesh wound. nothing so serious.” a flesh wound that the deity has quickly and expertly bandaged. “make certain that you clean that again later, change the bandage. on you go.”

“Jesus, you sound like you actually fucking care about me.” It’s spoken around a cigarette while sitting on the front porch, looking out at the road. “Do me a favor Jude and go back inside. Go back inside and stop fucking worrying about me.”

“ i guess the pain and suffering of my 19-year old shithead self was comforting? i mean, kudos to you if so. i’m glad i could make someone happy with that shit, seriously. “

texts the other memes at 3 am: billy-- and i feel like jude doesn’t understand half the time??  tries to convince the other to do an idea that definitely sounds questionable: they both do this-- it’s like fucking ‘you won’t do this’ and the other is like ‘fuckin’ bet!’ is the designated driver and who always gets wasted: billy is supposed to be designated driver-- but he always drinks too much so uh, jude drives his car back home. always has to host the impromptu sleepover: do they have sleep overs?? are they sleep overs if neither of them sleep and just drive around LA all damn night? who’s netflix account gets mooched off of: --it’ll be jude mooching off billy’s-- and then billy gets pissed off when jude watches something past where billy was. brings all the snacks and who supplies the movie: billy brings the snacks, they fight over the movie but jude always brings the movie. is usually the first one to say sorry after a fight: they never say sorry out loud, it’s always in little gestures like giving each other cigarettes is the ‘ mom friend ‘: -- jude???  calls the other at 12 am to wish the other a happy birthday without fail: billy does this to be annoying-- some times not even on jude’s birthday. happens about twice a year without fail. is the better wingman to the other: billy, but i feel like it almost never lands. ‘ the strong must protect the sweet ‘ , who’s the ‘ strong ‘ and who’s the ‘ sweet ‘: billy is the strong--  jude is the sweet-- about 96% of the time pulls the other up for karaoke to sing a duet together: jude. jude pulls billy up for karaoke.
