he isn't certain which category
theo fell in ˏ but if he had woken
up now ─ he felt compelled to
deflect any possible scrutiny of
his with another scheme ˏ
another overcomplicated mind
game.
⠀⤷
⠀
only then does is he placated ˏ
his wound muscles gradually
falling slack again.
it was just like frank ˏ to take
things when no one was looking.
things he did and didn't need;
things he sometimes didn't even
𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵.

⠀
❴ frank feels him stir and his veins
flutter with a surge of adrenaline ˏ
a slight tense in his arm at the
idea of being caught in the act like
this.but before he can raise it ─
theo's tugging him closer ˏ and
relaxing back into the cushions.
undisturbed.
⠀⤷
[ he stirs slightly and grumbles incoherently. his brain is registering the outside stimuli but is blatantly choosing to ignore it in favor of sleep.
feeling something pressed up against his back , his subconscious interprets this as a heavy blanket draped over him.

⠀
breathing in his scent.holding
it ˏ as he rises to a half point to
crawl onto the cushions and slot
himself beside him.his arm
going to drape over his middle.
only then exhaling ˏ and nudging
his face right back into unruly
strands.❵
⠀
⠀
❴ there's something endearing
about it ˏ the way he's able to
let his guard down at a moments
notice.in frank's territory ˏ no
less.he's starting to wonder if
theo's already made a habit of
doing this while he's gone ─
⠀⤷
⠀
that this was merely just the first
time he'd encountered him in the
act.the couch sizzles when frank
snubs his cigarette's cherry against
it ˏ leaving a burning hole behind
in the faux leather.he drops the
filter and leans in to tuck his face
into theo's hair ˏ
⠀⤷
⠀
❴ introspective hum.coming
to sit next to the sofa ˏ right
in front of where his head is.
staring at him as he takes a
drag.considering if he should
fuck with him while the chance
is still presenting itself ─ if only
he had a sharpie lying around .❵

@feIIonblackdays ⠀
holding his gaze ˏ he leans
in.dangerously close ─
expectant that damian
would allow him to light his
cigarette off him ˏ figuring
there was no sense in
lighting another match.
⠀
@feIIonblackdays ⠀
frank smiles ˏ and plucks
one from the pack.
ʺ sounds like you're speakin'
from experience.‶ he
remarks ˏ moving toward the
end of the bed to slot himself
next to him as the filter is
placed between his lips.
ʺ do you..happen to make
home movies of yer own.ᐣ‶

@darklydowns ⠀
a stark parallel to the digits
prodding beneath his ribs ˏ
coating themselves in the
warm downpour of crimson
as they agitate the seam.❵

@darklydowns ⠀
❴ he murmurs ˏ and maneuvers
a hand to hold the visible edge
of his cheek.lifting his face
from his shoulder to get him to
meet his gaze ˏ before thumbing
at his lower lip.trying to entice
him to open him up ─
let him inside.

@rawrmonaa ⠀
oh.shitty.
❴ he answers offhandedly ˏ
before looking ahead again.
his hands going to stuff
themselves in his jacket
pockets.❵
well ˏ guess runnin' into ya
was meant to be.instead
of coyotes or some weirdo
lookin' to snatch up lonely ˏ
wanderin' chicks.
⠀
@rawrmonaa ⠀
y'know ˏ I actually might've
taken you up on that if not
for the fact thaf yer hips're
about as big as my thigh.
fuck it.I wanna smoke ˏ
too.watchin' deer entrails
explode didn't do as much
for me as I thought it would.
let's just go.
