HUNNY: you better be EATING and SLEEPING and taking care of yourself!!! or else!!!

returning to mulberry apartments after a catch up lunch with a friend he met in his travels many years ago, troy removes his baseball cap and fixes his fringe so it’s neatly tucked away out of his face. it’s nice to catch some fresh air after cooping himself up in his room since the nightclub disaster yet that’s where he’s quickly heading back to nevertheless. in need of a cigarette before locking himself away from the world, he scrambles in his pocket for his smokes. pulling out the packet, his lighter falls out without him knowing and he’s continuing to walk towards the entrance to the building only a few metres ahead. setting a durry between his lips, he slips the packet back into his pocket and starts feeling around for his lighter.

     he’s still jittery from a bump he’d taken not twenty minutes ago and julian’s restless legs had carried him aimlessly up to the building’s roof. looking out over the city with a joint smoldering between his fingers, he’s surprised to find that he’s grown fond of baltimore--if he can manage to save up enough money to keep paying rent, he thinks they might even stay here a while. he hears the door open and is glad to see it’s christian and not a stranger when he turns around, favoring him with a smirk and offering the joint out to him. “hey, man,” he says with a little nod. “can’t sleep either, huh? one of those fuckin’ nights.” he gestures at the sky, full cloud coverage blocking the moon from view and leaving them in relative darkness save for the roof’s fluorescents near the door. “gonna rain. kinda hoping it’s thunder. i was gonna stand out here and try to get struck by lightning. see if it imbibes me with superpowers. i’ve always kinda thought it might, y’know?”
