cigarettes.

—
the loud city yelled angsty words, but the soft pitter-patter of rain against jonah's window was the only sound he listened to. his wrist swayed along with head, rested on the hard arm rest. twirls of smoke came off the white stick faintly placed between his two fingers.

his other hand gently played with soft, chocolate locks. the quiet boy twisted jonah's shirt between his fingertips, unknowingly nibbling on his lower lip. jonah watched him, his body at ease. he took another long drag of the cigarette before huffing out the pellucid smoke.

"what's up, babydoll?" jonah asked quietly, lifting his head carefully, to not burn him.

"just," he paused, the tip of his tongue glazing over his lips, "thinking."

"oh?" jonah sighed, "what about?" daniel propped himself up onto his elbow, jonah's thumb tenderly running over his cheekbone.

"anything, really." he chortled, a depressing smile etching onto his lush lips.

"so you're overthinking?" jonah chuckled, daniel shrugging with a light giggle. jonah licked his lips, "here."

yeah, if you over thinking, i get high with you

daniel tentatively took the burning cigarette, placing it between his lips and sucking in its virulent vapor. he blew the smoke out and passed it back to jonah. "good. now tell me the truth."

daniel heartily giggled, "about what?"

"what were you really thinking about?" he took a short drag, flicking off the build up of ashes. daniel stared at him for a moment before falling back down to his chest.

he let out a heavy sigh, "i don't know, i just- i feel-" he stopped, mid-sentence, "i feel like i'm falling. i'm falling into this deep, deep hole. one that has no end. but there's nothing i can do about it. all i can do is wait, and wait, and wait for me to come crashing to the ground, and probably drop dead right then and there."

jonah thought about daniel's words for a while. his heart ached, now knowing the one he loved was feeling pain he shouldn't. he cleared his throat, "well, if that's the case, then i'll be waiting."

"waiting?" daniel turned, face-to-face with his best friend.

if you ever sinking, i go down with you

"i'll be there for you at the bottom. i'll catch you and hold you until your fears wipe off. you won't be alone when you hit rock bottom."

daniel continued to look at him. intimacy glistened in his bright blue orbs. "why on earth, would you want to drop yourself to the bottom like that?" daniel lightly shook his head, disbelief showdowing the affection.

"for you, daniel." he squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head aggressively, "no- no, for us."

all i need my baby and a
cigarette

"you're an idiot, jonah," daniel chuckled before gazing his eyes into the other's, "but i love you."

"i love you too, baby."
