"malachi, come on!"
the milkovich held a cigarette between his lips as he watched his best friends clumsily dance around the newly built shed they'd spent their entire summer working on. he sent the gallagher girl a quick shake of his head to which she simply pouted in response.
elliot was quick to grab her attention once again, the boy too far gone to notice the look etched on malachi's features.
a string of giggles tumbled from cassie as elliot spun her before forcefully pulling her frame into his own. malachi leaned forward, his elbows pressing against his knees.
elliot's back was turned towards the boy, cassie easily meeting the milkovich's eyes from over elliot's shoulder. malachi didn't bother hiding his emotions as he often did in front of his best friends. cassie sent him a sad look, enough to let him know she knew something was wrong.
elliot leaned down, his forehead being pressed into cassie's neck as the two simply swayed to the music softly echoing through their shed. malachi lit cigarette after cigarette in hopes it'd be a distraction from the two so close to one another across the room.
"kev wants me back early." elliot whispered, pressing a quick kiss to cassie's temple as he often did. "i'll see you tomorrow, princess."
"okay." cassie went on her tippy toes, returning elliot's kiss to her temple by pressing her own to elliot's cheek. "be careful."
"i always am." elliot spared the girl one last grin before he turned on his heel. the ball boy quickly grabbed his jacket from the back of malachi's chair before he leaned down, wrapping his arms around his best friend. "you both get home safe, alright?"
"we will."
and with that, malachi and cassie were left with only one another as company.
cassie let out a sigh, falling onto the couch that'd been pushed carelessly to the side of the shed. malachi lit yet another cigarette, his eyes simply resting upon the gallagher.
"what're you doing?" cassie quirked an eyebrow at the studious look the boy was sending her way.
malachi didn't miss a beat in replying to the question that was asked. "looking at you."
