WIP Wednesday
Thanks for tagging me @adelacreations 🌹
Here’s some Wholesome Harringtons™ from my next Beetlejuice!au chapter ~
For not the first time in his life, Steve cursed his fast metabolism. It made keg stands tolerable, but his body burned through medicine too fast.
Climbing over to his window, he gauged the sky to be nighttime even though the summer horizon still glowed orange in the late hour. He focused on getting his body under conscious control as he stumbled to the bathroom. After washing his face, he trudged down the stairs for some food.
His father entered the half-done kitchen and took Steve’s sandwich right off the counter. Steve glared through puffy eyes until he realized his father was slathering mayonnaise on one side and setting it in a skillet to crisp up. “Oh. Thanks.”
“So much for eight hours, huh?”
“Five isn’t bad,” Steve reassured.
“Do you have a headache?”
“A little.”
The sandwich started to sizzle and Robert set a foil-wrapped brick on the sandwich to weigh it down. “If it gets bad, take a Tylenol, but try to tough it out. Let twenty-four hours pass before you double up on meds or weed again.”
Steve just wanted a sandwich and maybe a banana. “Fine.”
