Love is a drug
and you are my cigarette
(LIS/MV OC)

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

Mhm. I'm a lousy shot anyway.

( The sweetest, most harmless smile in the world. Leading up to, of course, a dead-on hit to the target. He often wonders why he never played a sport. )

. . . fine. he gets one throw.

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

Oh please, you would be picturesque.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚌𝚘𝚍𝚢 𝚎𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚗𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚝. @persnicketywhim]

lex? a sight for sore eyes ~.

but no.

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

omg dunk him

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

- with so much passion and skill that DaVinci himself would shed a tear."

Despite the line having a certain degree of corniness, Lex does deliver it in a way it doesn't sound inorganic or a poor attempt at a pick up line. Maybe a bit long-winded, nonetheless.

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

He chuckles as he eases to the ground, making sure to leave a comfortable amount of distance between them. No need to overwhelm.

"Oh, please, no need for flattery. Especially such high praise as to come from you. It's not often I see someone whose artist created them-

[𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐬. @ofgravegrace]

“well, you had me fooled,” he says with a light, breezy smile.

he gestures to a spot opposite him.

“oh, by all means, join me.”

he leans back after, palms pressed out against the grass, eyes shutting as he enjoys the feeling of sun against his skin. clearly, he's intending +

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

Would there be room for one more?~

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

All of the prettiest people I know~

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

(Hayden is about??? 👁👁)

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

( Silently admiring Atticus. )

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

Hmm~ interesting.

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

( Lex isn't particularly easy to evade in social contexts- though Jaxon wasn't exactly hard to read, either.)

Well, when you aren't trying to f*ck
/someone/ out of your system, come find me.

(He winks as he heads on.)

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚓𝚊𝚡𝚘𝚗 𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚣. @allforthegains]

( There's something about Lex - the way he carries himself, and the way he takes things in stride when it comes to him, that oddly. . . pulls at Jaxon, just for a second.

Eyebrows furrow, mulling over that feeling. The wanting to talk to someone, when his mind feels muddled at -

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

fleece lined tights I imagine.

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

waving cutely <3

[𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲. @ofthearts]

glancing again between atticus and jaxon. a little sigh given.

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

His eyes don't seem to cut into the cheerleader the way they do with others. Perhaps they don't need to.

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

He watches Atticus curiously, like a cat in a window. For how twisted up inside he'd seen Jaxon get around Atticus...

"Ah, I'm just a casual gym-goer. Hard to wear the things I do without the confidence and self-care to present them in earnest. May I sit?"
-

[𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐬. @ofgravegrace]

“ah, just a love of gymnastics that i happened to discover at a young age.”

a grin as he moves seamlessly from a position in the air to sitting with his legs crossed.

“i don't know . . . you look in good shape. i get you could show me a thing or two on the field.”

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

"I cannot imagine how you've managed to get that limber. My back is aching just watching."

A soft chuckle.

[𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐬. @ofgravegrace]

freshly showered, he's doing increasingly complex yoga poses outside.

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

- put your fist through your bedroom wall.

( There's that signature cheeky grin as he pats Jaxon on the shoulder, eyes meeting as he turns to go. Moody teen behavior, but what can you do?)

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

( His expression softens as his shoulders ease. Jaxon could be insufferable at times, but Lex could admit he'd fed into it before. He could give him grace, just this once. )

Then we don't have to talk. I got my answers, anyway. I'll find you when you don't look ready to -

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚓𝚊𝚡𝚘𝚗 𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚣. @allforthegains]

( Oh. Even Jaxon knows when he's gone too far.

A soft sigh follows, frustration evident in his moody expression. )

Look. That was shitty of me, my bad.

I just don't feel like talking. At all. I appreciate it, but. . .

( His gaze follows after Atticus and Rowena leaving in -

[𝐿𝑒𝑥 𝑊𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡𝑜𝑛 @WASHlNGTONSPEAK]

(For once, Lex does not hide his visible disdain for being spoken to this way. He straightens up, his usual soft expression twisting to a grimace.)

I apologize for checking on you. Next time, I'll take into account that you only speak to people with their mouths full.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚓𝚊𝚡𝚘𝚗 𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚣. @allforthegains]

( Jaxon’s gaze, briefly focused elsewhere, snaps back to the other boy. He looks irritated - not at Lex in particular, but at what he’s seeing. )

Not in the mood to talk, pretty boy.

So unless you can keep my mind occupied other ways, then. . .
