who: @eatabug ( topher ) where: devil's elbow, the stoner landing zone
now jonah didn’t talk to anyone else about what happened with topher at the wedding not after he told judah about it. little fish had not given him the positive reassurance that he was hoping for. more, that judah told him how much of a dumbass he’d been for going on about his fucking opinions rather than trying to have a good time ‘for once in your goddamn life.’
if anyone had any right to complain about listening to jonah go off on a tangent it was his brother.
it didn't sit right with him, because he had meant for it to be a date, or at least something resembling that, when he asked him to go with him initially. jo liked hanging out with topher and while things were not clear whether or not that was reciprocated, he wasn't ever going to know one way or the other if he didn't go apologize for his consistent bad attitude. they could see where things went from there, right?
so when he couldn't sleep he decided when the sun came up he'd head out to topher's place and make things square, regardless of what happened. if toph told him to fuck off, well, maybe he could still save judah's hook-up at the very least. what he didn't expect to see when he parked his truck was sullivan alstead getting out of topher's van. jonah lit a cigarette, smoking it while he waited for her to stop talking to lucky and headed out in her own vehicle, to make his approach. the less awkward the better, right?
knuckles wrapped on the van door and waited until it opened before he said anything. jonah was trying not to feel some sort of way about the whole thing, knowing he'd most definitely seen much worse. "mornin' sunshine, uh, was hopin' i could maybe talk to you? about yesterday?"
