david + friends imagines

nicotine habit {heath}

"i like heath" i mumble in defeat

"then what's the problem?" david asks

"i can't stand his nicotine habit"

"what's so bad about it?"

"it's over all really bad for you. plus having to kiss someone who smokes is like you are smoking yourself. that taste never goes away for long and the smell stays in everything. just walking by someone who smokes, you can instantly smell the nicotine on them"

david nods, sighing "i guess your right, but you can't just automatically not like someone because they smoke"

"i don't. it's just a big turn off. i'm more than happy to help him get over it, but only if he's willing to and not just for me either. if he wants to get rid of his habit for himself, then i will be right along side him, helping the whole way"

he nods, smiling "that's good because-"

i furrow my eyebrows, opening and closing my mouth like a fish when i see heath walking over to us

"so david had this idea to talk to you about me and see if you like me. i heard the whole conversation through a phone call and it got way deeper than i expected it to be"

i nod, waiting to see what he says

"i like you y/n, a lot. and i want to be with you, but i can't with this habit, so i want to get rid of it. and no, i'm not just doing it for you. i've been wanting to get rid of it for a while"

i smile widely, wrapping my arms around his neck

he laughs, hugging me back

with a lot of work, praise, and time; heath finally broke his habit

after a while we established a system

if he felt the need to smoke, he would come and give me a kiss or two

anytime he felt the need, he would always find me, no matter where i was

i honestly couldn't be prouder of him and i shower him in compliments everyday

everyone always congratulates me on breaking his habit, but i remind them that i didn't do any of the work, it was all heath

i was simply there for support

~

"one year clean baby, how does it feel?" i ask, running my hands through his hair

he looks up at me, flashing his teeth "i honestly don't have the need as much anymore. i barely notice it. but i do think i've found a new habit"

"and what's that?"

"you" he says, sitting up "you became my new habit"

i blush, making him laugh

i kiss his lips "you're adorable"

he smiles "ditto"

i playfully roll my eyes, laughing

"buh bye nicotine, and hello to my gorgeous girlfriend"

"i've been your girlfriend for a while" i say, poking his chest

he nods, smiling "almost one year, baby"

i nod, kissing his lips again

"and i can't wait for many more"
