Toxic (Heavily Inspired by the Coffin of Andy and Leyley)

S1 Ch 3

《Victoria》

You woke up on the couch. Without Vincent.

(That jackass.)

Victoria: "Vincent!"

There was a brief silence before you heard him say "here" from the balcony.

You marched your way there.

Victoria: "You're always out here, huh."

Vincent: "It's nice to get some fresh air."

Victoria: "So nice you left me inside?"

Vincent: "Hehe.... Sorry about that. You just looked so cute I didn't want to wake you."

You don't fully believe that but it still brightens up your mood a bit.

Victoria: "Ahem! That's besides the point! I said not to move! I was comfortable."

Vincent: "What can I say? I wanted a smoke break."

He showed off the pack of cigarettes with a smile.

Victoria: "Where the hell did you get that?"

Vincent: "It was a gift."

(A gift? From who? Was it a girl?)

Victoria: "Pretty lame gift. Who even gave those to you?"

Vincent: "The neighbor I've been talking to. And it's not lame. I heard it can help you relax."

(Ah, the old man.)

Victoria: "It'll kill you eventually."

Vincent: "Not if I starve to death in the next few days."

(Not the point.)

Victoria: "Get rid of them. Your breath will stink."

Vincent: "No way! These are a precious gift I plan to make the most of."

Victoria: "...Hand them over."

Vincent: "What? No."

You took a step foward, causing Vincent to take a step back.

Vincent: "What are you trying to do?"

Victoria: "It's for your own good."

Vincent: "Hey hey hey! Stop walking closer!"

As you had walked towards him, he kept on walking to the opposite end of the balcony. Until he cornered himself.

Vincent: "Shit...."

Victoria: "Either hand them over or drop them over the edge."

Vincent: "Could I get a third option?"

Victoria: "Sure. Option three: I wrestle it out of your hand."

Vincent: "I don't like any of those."

Victoria: "Well too bad. Pick."

Vincent: "Four: none of the above?"

You raised a brow.

Vincent: "At least let me smoke one."

Victoria: "That's how addiction starts."

Vincent: "Debatable. There have been people just fine after one."

Victoria: "I doubt you're one of them. You couldn't even stop your tea addiction until you were quarantined."

Vincent: "It wasn't an addiction!"

Victoria: "You stole money from mom to by some."

Vincent: "I was 14! When are you going to let that go?!"
