Haze (A Leafycynical & Leafnision Fanfic)

Instead of taking Greg's advice, Calvin found himself walking down the road to Pyro's place.

He had stayed at Greg's house for one night and ended up leaving for school in the morning. Calvin made sure there was as little contact between them as possible during that time.

When he arrived, he knocked on the old, white door of Pyro's apartment. "Hey man, it's me," He said, raising his voice so he was heard.

"Hold on." Calvin heard the sliding of a lock and the turn of a handle before he was let inside.

"What's up, man?" Pyro asked as he led Calvin to his room.

"Not much, you?"

"Got paid extra this week and bought some treats."

"Like what?"

"Like some weed and heroin - the good stuff. We're gonna have some fun."

Calvin flinched at those words.

This is Pyro. Not Keem.

Not Keem. Not Keem. Not Keem.

"Hey, man are you alright?"

"Um.. yeah, I'm fine." Calvin pulled himself together even though he was slowly ripping at the seams.

They sat cross-legged on the wood floor of Pyro's room. Calvin watched as he prepared the heroin, carefully heating it in a spoon.

"Here." The taller man gestured to the the freshly rolled joints that were in a small plastic baggie.

"Are you sure? How much did this cost you?"

"It's all good, I promise."

Calvin hesitated before getting up to fetch the ashtray from the desk. He sat back down and set the circular dish on the floor in front of him.

"Ready?" Calvin looked up to see Pyro already holding the syringe and an alcohol swab.

He nodded and Pyro gestured for him to lay down.

The taller man carefully wiped the inside of Calvin's elbow before inserting the needle.

Calvin sucked in a breath. Last time he was given a warning.

"Stay still.." Pyro leaned forward and caught the lips of the man beneath him.

Pyro's lips were soft. Almost like a girl's but not quite. It was a chaste kiss, just the movements of Pyro's dominant lips on top of his own and Calvin even kissed back. Best friends kissed right? The taller man began to push the plunger slowly, still kissing Calvin softly.

The man beneath him broke the kiss, letting out a whimper as the injection resulted in searing pain.

"S-stop.. It burns.."

Pyro carefully pulled the needle from the man's arm.

"Shit.. missed the vein.."

The taller man examined the slight blister that had formed.

"Guess we'll have to use your other arm, Cal."

He carefully pushed Calvin back onto the floor again, cleaning the small patch of skin before sliding the needle in.

Luckily, it had reached it's destination and didn't miss like the last attempt. Pyro slowly emptied the syringe into Calvin's bloodstream, watching closely as the man closed his eyes and tilted his head back.

"Good?" Pyro asked.

"Good." Calvin replied as he sat up.

"You can take off your jacket, you know?" He informed Calvin.
