                eccentric gestures seemed to exactly up laurence’s alley,  whether michael was expecting them or not.    he’d learned to expect the unexpected when it came to him,  but even then he still jumped every so often when laurence did something or grabbed him.    a wide grin broke as his face was grabbed and laurence kissed him,  returning the affection without a moment’s hesitation.    he chuckled the moment it broke.   “    you’re a trip and a half,  you know that??    ”

                “    keep it in your fuckin’ pants.    what one spastic does with the shite you deal’s their own fuckin’ decision.    if you’re goin’ tae get all weepy over this,  then you best be gettin’ oot of the game while you’re at it.    ”    this wasn’t what he needed at the beginning of the day,  this little shite of a kid getting emotional over fucking nothing.    so someone got hurt while they were high,  so what??    so what if laurence was the one who gave it to him??    that didn’t matter in this moment.    what did matter was the hangover pounding at his temples,  threatening to get worse if he didn’t get some fix for it soon.

                buses,  he was alright with.    sitting in the back seats of cars,  he was alright with,  though he was more prone to car sickness like that if he got warm.    the passenger seat??    that made him anxious.    being so close to what he had broken through once upon a time still shook him.    michael thought he was alright,  that it wasn’t showing that he was nervous.    but laurence seemed to pick right up on it.    when the question was posed,  he took a breath in and let it out slowly.    that helped ease some of the tension out of his body.    “    i’m alright.    ”    can you take the turns a bit slower??    can you maybe not brake as hard??    can we please stop soon so i can get out without throwing up??    his anxiety wasn’t getting that bad but every short stop did jolt him and make it worse.    but he didn’t want laurence to have to be too careful with him.    “    just a little bit dizzy.    ”

“ WELL, BRING ME BACK IN SHACKLES, and hang me long out in the sun. ”    the tragically hip -- fully completely + @lfeguarded

lazy hues cast to the clock,   eyelids heavy and squinting to read the time.   the day crept towards noon,   and yet they remained,   limbs interlaced and fingertips idly tracing through the other’s hair.   “  you’ve got work,   laurie.   i’m still gonna be here after,   yeah  ??   won’t move a muscle.  “
