"I'm picking u up at 2am are u sure you're packed?" "Yesss" I groan, burying my face in his neck, breathing in his Montale cologne.
Despite my usual disorganisation, I'd actually packed early. I was excited but in an embarrassing kinda way.

"Are you sure you're packed?" I say, narrowing my eyes as I look around his bedroom. Piles of laundry and rubbish had built up, he's been kinda out of it lately, not often sober. Even now; late afternoon on a week night, his eyes are heavy. Bloodshot and blown out with dark circles underneath from whatever concoction of drugs he's on right now.

But I can't blame him, both of us have been on a bender for days. There have been times I've smoked or drank a lot but never to this extent, or with something this strong. I guess part of it is me wanting to keep up with Benjamin.. and another is that he's doing it if I am. It's a pretty nasty cycle.

He rubs his temples, exposing his adam's apple as he rests his head back into the pillow, "Yeah, yeah.. It's all good. I've got stuff at my place over there anyway." he mumbles softly.

The tips of my ears burn, "Oh yeah.. Of course." I hadn't considered that, although it might just be an excuse to procrastinate. Oh well.

"Don't look so worried." He chuckles, pulling me down onto his chest to kiss me. "Everything's taken care of." He readjusts the front of his track pants and I shoot him a look. He blushes, sighing as he covers his face with his forearm. "Really?! I wasn't even trying anything!" I remark, giggling.
