   The door gently shuts behind Christian as he walks out of the sleeping quarters of the tour bus.

   "I think the whole world can hear them." the blonde boy whispers.

   Mitchel, who is sitting on the couch in the main room of the bus, chuckles. The tall brunette is wrapped up in a fluffy gray blanket on the small leather couch. Christian walks to where his best friend sits. The television quietly plays some old cartoon. Its characters dance around the screen lighting up the dark room.

   "What's this?" Christian asks as he sits down next to Mitchel.

   "The Ferals." Mitchel stares at the screen.

   "Wait, I remember that." Christian looks at his friend who is mesmerized by the children's show.

   Christian notices his friend glowing under the dim light from the television. The light bounces off Mitchel's pale face, and the bright colors reflect in Mitchel's sparkling eyes.

   "Yeah, we watched it when we were younger." Mitchel dryly responds.

   Christain glances at the screen. Rattus the rat dances around the bright environment. The characters jump around the screen, solving some basic dilemma as in all the other episodes of the old show.

   "I used to love this when I was a babe." Christian looks back at Mitchel.

   The harsh lighting brings out Mitchel's sharp features. Christian can't help but look at his friend's sharp jawline. The way the light elegantly pushes against Mitchel's face puts Christian into a trance. Mitchel's bleach blonde messy braids lay effortlessly on his shoulders covered by a baggy t-shirt that insinuates his strong shoulders.

   Mitchel bites his bottom lip as he concentrates on the screen in front of him. He brings one of his hands up to his face and tucks a braid behind his ear, and as brings his hand down, he places it on the seat of the couch. Christian looks down at the other boy's hand which is so close to his own hand that their fingers are practically touching.

   The screen flicks off at the end of the short-lived episode. Mitchel looks away from the now blank screen and to his friend.

   "It was the only thing on the tv." Mitchel sharply exhales.

   Mitchel leans to one side as he reaches for something in his pocket. His braids brush up against Christian's arm. Mitchel resituates himself as he pulls a joint out of his cushioned pocket.

   "Wanna?" Mitchel holds the joint up to his mouth.

   Christain digs in his own pocket and pulls out a small blue lighter. He lights up the joint between Mitchel's lips and the dried leaves turn a bright red as Mitchel inhales. Mitchel pulls the joint out of his mouth, as he leans a cloud of smoke escapes his lips.

   Kras gently removes the lit joint from between Mitchel's fingers and pulls it up to his mouth. He inhales quickly sending the hot air straight to his lungs. The dirty blonde boy coughs aggressively as the smoke makes its way out of his body.

   "First time?" Mitchel jokes as he grabs the joint back.

   Christian shakes his head as he continues to cough. The coughs begin to grow in intensity as Christian's face starts to turn a deep shade of red.
