Smoking Kills

~1~

Its the beginning of summer,  21st of June, 11:25am. Its hot enough for shorts and no top. 

Henry was walking alone through the forest to meet up with Victor and Belch at the Quarry. They had invited Patrick but he didn't pick up his damn phone. Henry was in shorts and a top. A small bruise on his lower neck witch looked like a hickey. He walked with his hands in his short pockets. He only got up legit only got up half an hour ago so he was still half asleep. He yawns into his hand as he walks. He enjoyed the quiet walk, so much different from being in town, a busy and noise place where everyone knew everyone and everyone knew everything as word traveled fast. 

Henry thought he was alone until he felt a taller persons arms around him, slouched onto Henry for support. Henry was about to yell at them until the smell of smoke and cherry filled his nose. Henry just stood there letting the other lean on him. They stood like this for a few moments, the taller one pants heavily as if they ran a marathon. Henry didn't mind as he knew exactly who this was.  Patrick. The 2 where close but Henry has started to feel things witch he hated. Growing up in Derry isn't good for him as he grew up homophobic especially with his dad. 

Patrick rested his head on Henrys shoulder, Henry moves a hand to the back of Patrick's head, staying put. More silence. "Patrick, you alright dude?" Henry finally asks breaking the silence as Patrick wasn't like this unless he was on something or drunk or even about to flat out murder someone. Patrick mumbles out a "got in a fight" at least that's what Henry thinks he said. Patrick moved his head so his breath was on Henrys neck. 

Patrick's hands moved down to Henrys hips, Henry didn't question it until he felt Patrick's lips on his neck. Henry elbowed Patrick's stomach and stepped away, a hand over where the taller male kissed. Patrick was black and blue. Black eye, burst lip, bruised body and knuckles. Honestly? He looked half dead. 

"what the hell Pat?!" Henry yelled at Patrick, Patrick just laughs. "What's wrong kitten? Thought you liked me~" Patrick teased. Henry flipped him off before he starts to walk again. Patrick was annoyed and took Henrys hand and pushing him against a tree. Holding Henrys hands above his head. Now Henry didn't take this well. Henry struggles to get out of the taller males grasp, Patrick didn't let Henry go. "Pat-" Henry starts but he was cut off by Patrick kissing him. Henrys eyes widen. He could taste alcohol on Patrick from the kiss.  Of course the guy was drunk. Henry kept trying to get free until he kicked the taller male between the legs. 

Patrick let go, stumbling back and holding his hands over his crotch. Henry wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. Patrick starts laughing, "fucking bottom." Patrick laughs out. Henry was pissed. "fuck off prick." Henry says as he starts to walk away, all he could taste was alcohol, smoke and cherry from the kiss. To get ride of the taste he gets out his cigarette pack, taking out a cigarette, his pack half empty by now. He lights it and sticks it in his mouth as he inhales. Patrick walking not too far behind. 

The 2 end up walking together, Patrick making sex jokes or touching Henry resulting in Henry hitting him and walking faster. Didn't do much, Patrick has long ass legs so he found it easy to keep up. After a bit they ended up at the quarry where  Victor and Belch where. Both standing in the water at well Victors knee height. The 2 boys in the water where chatting and laughing. Both in shorts and no top. Patrick had shorts and a top, the top he quickly discarded before joining the others in the water, immediately going into making fun of Victors height. Henry on the other hand? He sat on the bay smoking. He didn't want to get into the water or take his top off. Henry sat alone in his own little world as the other 3 mess around in the water. 

"What's up with Henry?" Victor asks, both him and Belch look at Patrick who shrugs. "guessin he woke up on the wrong side of the bed" Patrick says but he felt it was his fault as he did kiss Henry. Henry just looked tired and pissed off. Victor got out the water and walked over to sit by Henry, Victor was Henrys closest friend but even Henry kept things from him. "Hey Henry are you ok?" Victor asks putting a hand on Henrys shoulder as he let out a breath of smoke. "Tired, just got up" Henry says rubbing his eyes as he sets the cigarette in his mouth. "dude its like half way through the day" "I didn't sleep well" "ah sorry dude" Victor says patting Henrys shoulder. 

A few hours past, Henry actually had fun he just didn't get into the water. it was 4pm and Victor and Blech had to head as both had family things to go to. Victor a family dinner and Blech didn't say what he had to leave for other than family. This left Henry and Patrick alone.  "What's up with you? Don't tell me that little kiss out you in a bad mood." Patrick says annoyed. "You just pissed me off. You don't seem to get that I'm straight and have a girlfriend!" Henry yelled at Patrick, "since when?!" he yelled back.  "where the fuck did you think I was yesterday!? I even texted the group chat I had one and was spending time with her yesterday." Henry huffs out. Lier. 

Patrick stares at Henry ins disbelief. He always thought Henry was gay, if not bisexual! He thought he could try and get into bed with Henry and ask to be his boyfriend. Patrick shakes his head. "youll break up with her within a week. You never keep a girlfriend for any longer than  5 days!" Patrick laughs out. "Too bad, I really like this one." Henry says with a grin. "she's short, feisty, doesn't take anyone's shit. Likes to risk it in bed. She is into some fucked up shit" Henry says. Patrick faked a smile, "ah... well ill get going so you can see her" he says before leaving. 

Henry your a lier.
