ginny cries out when he finds his lover drowning in his own vomit, unconscious and seizing.

"dan," he cries, shaking the younger boy vigorously. "dan, you dumbass, wake up!"

dan's eyes snap open, his body jolting to a limp halt. he wipes the vomit from his chin and blood from his nose, staring up at ginny.

"this isn't good for you!" ginny exclaims, his eyes starting to water.

"obviously. it's fucking heroin."

"promise me this is the last time," ginny begs.

"yeah, whatever."

"dan, please."

dan sighs angrily. "yeah, it's the last time."
