"Do you even know how to roll one?"

Gabe scoffed, waving a hand and pressing his lips together. "Of course I do. I've seen Kate do it a million times."

Clementine, arms crossed, pressed her lips in the corner of her mouth. "For someone who knows what they're doing, you sure are struggling a lot."

Gabe paused in the midst of his sad attempt at a joint roll, his eyes closing in embarrassment at his unique — and failing — attempt to impress the girl.

The two, while spending time in the Garcia's makeshift home — a temporary tent — found a discarded bag of weed hurled in the tent's corner. It wasn't hidden, and failed to be attempted to, which was their lucky break. After all, how many times had they seen Javi or Kate using it, and they never knew why? Curiosity had finally gotten the better of them, and now was their chance to learn.

"There," Gabe scoffed, lifting a finished joint. It was messy, definitely far from perfect, but for the time being it would do. After all, it was their first time — it didn't need to be flawless, only usable. He smirked, slipping the roll into the female's palm. "Told you I could do it."

Clementine rolled her eyes, a smirk toying on the end of her lips. "Well then smart guy, did you remember to bring a lighter?"

Gabe's smirk washed from his face, falling beneath growing waves of doubt. He parted his lips, stunned that he forgot such a crucial part of their experiment.

Before he had a chance, Clementine flipped out one from behind her back. It was solid yellow, its colour fading from use. "I got us covered."

Gabe gawked, verbally making a faint squeaking sound. Upon hearing it, his lips clamped in embarrassment.

"You're lucky that Russell is a forgetful smoker." She teased, crossing her legs and flicking the lighter to ensure it still worked. Sure enough, a small flame bubbled from one end of the device, swallowing the surrounding air.

Gabe's brows squinted. "Isn't that the big guy from the kitchen?"

"Yep," Clem claimed passively, popping one end of the joint into her mouth, adjusting it as to be comfortable.

Despite Gabe's wide-eyed stare, admiring how bold the girl was for going first, he attempted to listen to what she was saying.

"He forgets it all the time. I'll give it back to him tomorrow and say that he left it by the stove again." Her gaze shifted back to the male, finally registering the wide-eyed, awed stare he was giving her. She squinted. "What?"

"I just," Gabe blinked, stumbling to regain himself from being caught. Finally, regaining control of his tongue, he spoke. "I'm surprised. You really seem to know what you're doing."

Clementine shrugged, slipping the piece out of her mouth to speak clearly. "I've seen people smoke before. This is nothing new." She placed the object back into her mouth, waving her hand to dismiss the talking point. "I'll go first and then you can have some."

With ease, the teen flicked the lighter to life, bringing the flame to the end of the roll. She rolled the flame around the end before hearing the paper crackle to life. She snapped it off, placing the lighter into Gabe's palm, before gently taking a deep breath in.
