Smoking Kills

~2~

25th of June at 2AM, its dark and somewhat cold out.

Patrick pretty much has been ignoring Henrys texts. Laying in an old tree house they had made as kids. He was practically taking up most of the room with one leg dangling out the hatch. He was a tall weirdo. He had a half drank bottle of vodka in hand, about to take a drink before he hears a familiar voice call out his name. Patrick sat up to see Henry half in the tree house, he looked beaten half to death. Patrick moved to let Henry in. "mind telling me why your ignoring and avoiding me?" Henry asks as he takes the vodka off of Patrick as the boy was drunk. Patrick doesn't sat a thing, he just moves closer to henry and pulling him into a kiss. it was a small quick kiss. "spend one night with me?" Patrick asks cupping Henrys cheek. Henry went slightly red, "Pat your drunk. Get to bed" Henry says moving Patrick's off his face, "come on ill walk you back" 

Patrick agreed because Henry was making him. It was late and he was just happy for the compony. They walked in almost complete silence, until Patrick spoke. "Hen do you really have a girlfriend?" his tone somewhat upset. Henry sighs putting his hand up for Patrick to take. "Na, I made her up to shut you up" Henry admits. Patrick took Henrys hand happily. "So what's happening to ya? your really pissed off recent" Patrick asks. Henry doesn't speak, he didn't want to say it allowed as then it became real. "Its nothing Pat, trust me, just finding it hard to sleep is all." Henry says shaking his head. "You always sleep better at mine- stay the night?" Patrick asks as he held Henrys hand tighter. Henry sighs "one night Patrick and no touching" Henry says looking up at the taller male. "soo no cuddles? You love them!" Patrick asks with a grin as he did too. 

When Henry stayed at Patrick's they always end up cuddling as Henry has bad nightmares most nights and struggles to sleep.  "No cuddles. No matter what Pat" Henry says knowing he'll regret it. Henry had horrible nightmares, mostly about his dad and everyone leaving him when they find out something he wishes he wasn't. Henry was bisexual, leaning more towards guys so it explains him never being able to keep a relationship with a girl for any longer then 5-7 days. But we can all say Patrick is never leaving Henrys side as he is a lost gay puppy who follows Henry around. 

Henry didn't mind Patrick following him around like a lost puppy, just made his feelings to the tall lanky asshole grow more as only he got to see his soft side. Buut they lived in Derry, a town still stuck in the past. A homophobic town where no secret was left a secret for long. Henry knew he wasn't getting out of this town, he was trapped here because of his up bringing. Victor and Blech had a chance as they could actually get out since they good good grads unlike Henry and Patrick. 

The 2 walked in silence the rest of the way before they got to Patrick's place. Stepping into the dark house and Patrick dragging Henry up stairs as the smaller male was yawning tiredly. The vodka placed on the bedside table of Patrick's single bed not really big enough for 2 but it always fits Patrick and Henry. The room was a mess, cloths all over the floor, dirty plates, bowls and cups not too mention some questionable looking stiff socks. There was even an unopened pill bottle that was just gathering dust. 

Henry was the first in bed, facing the wall and laying close too it as Patrick took his top off throwing it into the mess of his floor. Henry did find Patrick's room gross but he was too tiered to care currently. Once Patrick lost his top he got into bed, laying back to back. Henry was the first to fall asleep, he was tired as he hasn't slept much recently. Only to wake up panting in a cold sweat at 5am. He was about to sit up as he was crying in his sleep but felt a sudden arm around his waist. "Its alright Henry, your safe" Patrick says holding Henry against his own body. It always calmed Henry down. Henry took Patrick's hand into his own, holding his hand close to his chest. "Your alright kitten, take a deep breath, in and out, in and out" Patrick says, kitten falling out of his lips so naturally. Henry followed along with Patrick saying 'in and out' to calm him down more. 

It wasn't long before Henry was asleep again. Patrick also fell asleep with Henry in his arms as Patrick had said they both like to cuddle. They slept the night away and into the morning. Henry getting the best sleep as he has found sleeping a hassle with all his nightmares.
