Poisin is addictive

Dans POV
I looked at Phil as the needle touched his side. He looked like he was in so much pain so I squeezed his hand as the needle touched me. I had this done so much I was used to the pain. I looked at Phil who was taking deep breaths trying to calm down. I kept rubbing my thumb on the back of his hand and he kept breathing.
2 hours later
As I felt the needle stop and be removed I looked over at Phil who had a tear on his left cheek. I wiped it off and he opened his eyes,
"That's what it's like when you die." Phil whispered, "Good thing we're only 17."
"Yah really."
"Alright boys you can get up now." I stood up, then Helped Phil up.
"Alright it's 200 pounds but family discount, and your lucky because there's already a 2 for 1 sale. 50 pounds." I grabbed my wallet and gave him the money and just as we walked out Nico grabbed my shoulder,
"Hey Howell, we're looking for a new piercer and a new artist. Either of you interested?"
"Phil is!" They both looked at me in shock,
"What? Dan?" He turned from me to Nico, "Sorry I can't draw."
"Not true." I dug into my pocket and grabbed the skeleton he drew me a few days back, "He drew that in less then an hour." I continued, "I would be interested in working as a piercer. Only if I have the same hours as Phil." He was still studying the picture when he spoke,
"Why would it matter?"
"Umm... We live far away and we only have one car." There was more to it but I don't feel like explaining.
"Far enough. Where you living now then?"
"Only a bit further off. Downtown." Lies.
"I see. Well Phil I would like to see more of your sketches, I think your very talented and I would love to hire you. I just need to know if your capable of sketching more then skeletons. As for you Howell, your hired. We just need to go over how to pierce properly then after you both are trained you can start making money and tattooing others. See me tomorrow afternoon. 1:00pm sharp. Got it?" We both nodded. Then we left. We were walking back to the car when I had a craving for an old habit.
"Uh, Phil can we stop at that convince store?"
"What for?"
"Smokes. It's an old habit, I'll only get one pack, that should last me a few weeks."
"You smoke?"
"I'm trying to quit but, it's really hard. I used to go from a pack a day and now it's a pack every few weeks." I felt I might actually be able to quit with Phil motivating me.
"Alright then. But only smoke outside. I hate the smell."
"Your parents smoked?"
"My dad does. I was the ashtray." I stopped him and kissed him. I pulled apart and said,
"When we get home I'll give you ice cream, cuddles, and the great British bake off."
"Done deal." I walked in and the cashier said,
"Hey Dan. The usual?" Phil looked over in confusion,
"Cigarettes. No booze. Ice cream and the season of the great British bake off on DVD. Also take booze out of the usual."
"Alright." I walked up to the counter paid and we left. When we got back to the apartment I popped in the great British bake off and got Phil a bowl of ice cream,
"Hey Phil?"
"Yah?"
"Can you wait for me I'm just gonna go on the roof." I waved the pack of cigarettes and he said,
"Uh, yah. That's cool just don't take too long."
"Won't I promise."
"Also brush your teeth when you come back in, I don't want to taste an ashtray when I kiss you."
"Fair enough. Love you."
"Love you." He chuckled slightly and shook his head. I started walking up to the buildings roof while whistling. When I got up there, there was already a group of adults sitting there smoking, they were talking. They turned back to me and the blonde one shouted,
"Hey we got a minor!" It was in a nice way, I laughed and started walking backward when a women with dark brown hair said,
"Come sit we don't bite." I chuckled and sat down, I lit my smoke and took a puff before asking,
"So who are you?" The women with brown hair pointed at the blonde one and said,
"This is Barney. I'm Robin." She pointed at the man on her left, "Ted." She pointed at the red head and a tall man with brown hair, "That's Lily and Marshall. They're inseparable."
"I'm Dan." Barney spoke,
"So how old are you anyway?"
"17."
"And you live here by yourself?"
"No. I live here with my boyfriend. Phil."
"Oh, your gay." Robin spoke,
"I expected you were one of those bad asses that all the girls ran after."
"That sounds like a living hell."
"You have no idea." Barney said. I laughed slightly when Lily asked,
"So, is this one of those cliches where you run off with your boyfriend to spite your parents?"
"No. I love my parents."
"So why do you live alone at 17."
"Personal business." I took another puff then it was to short to hold so I put it out. "Thanks for the talk. See you later." I got up and went back downstairs. I went into the bathroom brushed my teeth, put on cologne and put my cigarettes on top of the fridge. I walked into the living room and saw Phil playing Crossy Road on his phone. I screamed,
"MY BOYFRIEND IS ADORABLE!" He screamed and then started laughing,
"Don't scare me!"
"Love you!"
"Ughhh" I pressed play on the remote control and then the great British bake off started. I was cuddling Phil and he was eating ice cream. It was perfect.
