the fuck you want?

“Yeah, whatever you say, cool guy,” Lyra rolled her eyes, taking a drag from her cigarette and frowning jokingly. “’Not too bad’? I’m awesome, you just haven’t been around long enough to see it.”

“You are kinda awesome, you gave me a fag, so...” Caleb trailed off, looking away from the other as he took another drag. He really had missed smoking while he was on the run. “Don’t start with me.”

The blonde didn’t say anything back, just smirked.

“What are you mute now? Christ, you’re all useless...”

“So I help tutor you, survive the apocalypse, and all you care about is a smoke? Fuck, Caleb, I thought I was more valuable than that.”

“Oh, you know you love it, Frankie.”

“Hmm…would you trade a hug for a smoke?”

"I could consider it, why, you got a smoke for me?"

“Well, I gotta say I respect that,” Lyra chuckled, studying the other for a moment. “You’re actually the coolest dude I’ve talked to so far.”

“Of course I am. Have you seen me? I’m incredible.” Caleb joked, winking at the other. “You’re not too bad yourself...”

“Dude it’s like 3am. Can I help you?”

“Jesus fuck, this is not the right room, is it?”

“And what would you do for a woman that happened to have some?”

“Give her a kiss, if she gave me a smoke.”

“You and just about everyone here.”

“Whatever. Do you know where any are?”

“Too bad you’re not getting shit.”

“Like I’d want shit from you anyway.”

“Well, welcome to this shit hole!” Lyra smirked before raising an eyebrow. “Dude, stop flattering yourself, it’s kinda gross.” Lyra laughed, scrunching her nose at the other. “I’m Lyra, by the way. Nice to meet you.”

"Thanks gorgeous..." Caleb muttered, taking another drag from his cigarette. "It's not flattering myself, it's knowing I'm hot shit and flaunting it. I'm Caleb, nice to meet you too."

“I try,” Lyra smiled slightly, taking a drag of her cigarette. “So, how long have you been here? I don’t recall meeting you before.”

"Yeah, because I only just got here a few days ago... Because I'm sure you'd remember this face..." Caleb teased, smiling at the other.

“Yep.” She said, pulling out her lighter and lighting a cigarette for him and one for herself.

"You my friend, are fucking amazing!" He commented, taking a drag of the cigarette, the nicotine already coursing through his system.

“That won’t be necessary. I’ve come to your rescue.” Lyra smirked, handing him a cigarette.

"Well you're definitely someone I'll keep..." Caleb muttered, taking the cigarette. "You got a light?"
