cw: smoking
im making this out of spite towards myself because im getting unnecessarily jealous
where are they? who knows!
the wind was exhilarating as it blew past your face, thrashing your hair around behind you as you sped down the dirt road. the familiar sound of gravel crunching under the wheels almost comforting.
you pushed the limit, going as fast as you could to chase the high that came with the speed, 40...50...60...70...
you stopped there, knowing he would get onto you when you stopped if you went too far.
the end of the road approached, and you slowed down, your mind coming down from the clouds as you did so.
he was sat on the roof of your shitty old car, one leg propped up and one leg hanging off the side as he leaned back on his left arm, the other resting on his knee, "i would say that was too fast but i dont think you went over 75."
you propped the bike up on the kickstand, "not one over 70."
the wrap he wore around his head was tied around his wrist, you noticed as you walked up to the car. he normally wore it like that when he didnt need his hair out of his face (though it didn't even get the hair out of his face in the first place.) you crossed your arms and set them on the car, placing your chin on them and gazing up at him. he took a long puff of the joint he held before answering, "good job i guess."
he turned to blow the smoke in your face. you merely closed your eyes and wrinkled your nose till he was done, rolling them as he sat back with an amused smile. "youre a jerk," you muttered, moving to gently take the joint from his hand. he let you, watching as you took a hit, "dream and george should be here soon."
you nodded, looking up to blow the smoke to the sky, "are your other boyfriends coming?"
he ignored what you called them, humming as he took it back from you, "later. i dont really know what theyre doing. dream and george arent already here because apparently george had a girl over at his flat and had to drop her off before they headed over."
"oooh," you replied in a teasing tone, going to sit next to him on the car, "the one hes been pining over for years?"
he nodded, taking his eyes off the clearing to look at you.
you were parked far into the woods, a place youd only find if you went down a confusing sequence of dirt roads that really only your friend group knew about. the lot of you had it memorized, as you came to this place quite often.
the woods you were in used to be a park, but it shut down due to funding, so now it was just a bunch of trails and roads and signs that nobody ever walked or saw. this specific clearing seemed to have no obvious purpose for when it was a park, but it was the perfect place for you and your friends. it had no trees, with a dirt road in large oval surrounding a field of beautiful green grass and all sorts of flowers. it was quite beautiful, surrounded by the deep forest green of the trees.
your group always seemed to stay till late at night, sometimes sleeping in the bed of dream's truck and the seats of yours and karl's cars, but there were no lights around the area. the first time youd stayed that late, youd all just used the headlights from the vehicles, but since the cars had been running that whole time in the morning everything but sapnap's motorcycle had run out of gas, so he had to go and bring back some. since then everyone had brought up lanterns you put in your lawn and stuck them around the place so that incident wasnt repeated.
the sun was setting over the trees, painting everything with a slightly golden hue and bringing the wind with it. he noticed the way your eyes shone with the gold as the breezes lifted your hair off your shoulders a bit to lazily play with the locks for a moment before setting them back down again.
