It's All Just Chemicals

One

"Are you sure that's enough?" Maxx asked, eyeing the wad of fifties that'd been slapped onto the table.
"Should be. Shit's expensive around here. Fuckin' fifteen a pill my ass. Fuck Buffalo, seriously."
Maxx's phone vibrated suddenly on the kitchen counter. He picked it up, typing his password before reading the new message.
"It's Alex. Says he's got the shit... Better be fucking good for the money were givin' him," he mumbled, texting Alex a quick 'see you then.'
Cody nodded in agreement before pulling his last joint out of a small, cardboard box held together by duck tape and a rubber band. He waved his boyfriend towards him as he lit it, inhaling the smoke before pulling Maxx's face to his own, their lips locking. A moment or two later, Cody exhaled into his mouth, the blond breathing in the smoke and smiling as they pulled away from each other.
Cody took another hit before Maxx snatched the joint out of his hand, bringing it to his lips with a smirk.
"We should get ready after this."
"Yeah."

Minutes later, Maxx snuffed out the joint, leaning over Cody to do so before pulling his jacket and a beanie on. Cody stood up as well, fixing his snapback as he grabbed the car keys and the wad of money.
They climbed into the car and drove off, finding their way to their friends' apartment. They held hands as they walked into the apartment building, knocking on the door with a tiny, red four on it. Several locks unlocked from the other side before the door slowly creaked open, revealing a shirtless Alex.
"Uh, hey. You guys can come in. I gotta change into some clothes.
"Did we interrupt something?" Cody joked, sitting on the worn-out couch with Maxx.
"Shut the fuck up, Carson." He laughed, walking down the hallway to his bedroom. The two boys on the couch could hear mumbling coming from the room before Alex appeared once again, this time wearing a shirt and jeans. Behind him was none other than Jack Barakat, clad in only a pair of baggy jeans, his arms lacing around Alex's waist from behind.
"Hey, guys." The shirtless boy smiled as they waved and said their hellos.
Cody pulled the rolled-up money out of his pocket, holding it up in between his index finger and his middle finger before tossing it to Alex.
He smirked, reaching into Jack's front pocket behind him and pulling out the bottle of pills. He threw them at the other boys before stepping away from Jack and walking into the connected kitchen.
He pulled out a bag of Doritos while Jack sat next to Cody on the couch.
"You guys staying for a while?"
"Probably." Maxx smiled, cuddling into Cody. That joint was hitting him pretty hard considering he'd smoked most of it. He was so warm and so was Cody.
"You okay, babe?" Cody asked, combing his fingers through Maxx's blond hair gently.
"Mm."
"He trippin'?" Jack asked with a chuckle, nudging Maxx's side with his foot, earning a quiet giggle.
"Yeah. He smoked most my joint before we left."
"Nice."
"So," Alex started, plopping onto Jack's lap with a case of beer and his his Doritos. "You guys wanna watch a movie?"
He grinned, pulling out a bag of what Cody assumed was cocaine, wiggling it around in the air.
"Sure."
