"really, you think it would change things?" ravi shook his head like he couldn't disagree more. "oh, come on...we've been friends for years -- a little fun could never change that. not for me at least. he shrugged his shoulders like it was simple. "besides, i feel like we've been dancing around the idea for kind of a while...you saying you don't want it?"

" this is actually really embarrassing but... " autumn trailed off, cheeks already starting to heat up. she laughed, nervous, almost about to pull out of the idea before she blurted it out. " i really like this guy, but i don't have a lot of experience and i was wondering if maybe you'd help me. "

“you’re up to something…” eyes narrow as raven studies their face, trying to read what’s hiding behind their gaze. trying to guess their next move but she’s coming up blank. as always. “you know how i feel about surprises, and i am prone to asthma attacks, so please… don’t leave me in suspense.”

“say what you need to say. i can see you’re pissed.” nico sinks lower into his seat, gaze steady as it drifts from the door they came through to the shitty visitation room around them. he fucked up again. lost control again. but he doesn’t need this. doesn’t need them looking at him like he’s shattered their world. “lawyer says it’s just a stupid possession charge. i’ll be out in a couple days. promise.”

〝   you   should   actually   be   thanking   me   for   not   calling,   my   brother   would   kill   you   if   he   knew   what   happened.   now   get   out   of   my   room   before   he   gets   home   from   practice.   〞

〝   why    are    you    doing    this,    forcing    this    idea    of    me    and    her?    i    don't    want    her    and    you    know    that    ––––    i    want    you.    〞

' where would you like me to go , huh ? ' as irony would have it , it was the closest house he could go to to weather the storm , and now ? they had got in one of their world class arguments , and he was completely stuck , at least until the storm subsides . ' you want me gone ? fine , but until this shit passes , you're stuck with me . the second the storms gone ---- i'm gone . '

                    ❝      that's      some      kinda      crazy,      thinking      we're      all      good      ...      it's      the      opposite,      lately.      ❞
