[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ why’s that? ( curious, teasing smirk. )

[* 𝐞͟𝐯͟𝐢͟𝐞.ᐟ @dreamsunwiind]

( evie kisses her back with ease, knees going a little weak. ) you can’t say stuff like that.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

@dreamsunwiind ᅟᅟ “looks like you’re a real good cook.”

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ “i’m sure you’ll get there, gata.” sofia grins, briefly returning her attention to the car in order to stabilise the spot as she tosses the broken part away on the box of scraps.

ᅟᅟ “hard and steady work takes time to pay, but when it does. . . can be life changing.”

[* 𝐞͟𝐯͟𝐢͟𝐞.ᐟ @dreamsunwiind]

“oh, dozens,” evie says, her whole apartment filled with notebooks, not to mention her notes app. “just none that have been sold yet.”

it was a work in progress, but she felt like if she pushed, she’d be able to make it. “it’s a hard industry to get into.”

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

@dreamsunwiind ᅟᅟ sofia does find the pair of beers on the fridge, bringing it back to the table before gently taking a seat, making sure to not drag the chair on the floor.

ᅟᅟ “it smells so good.” a grin rises, moving to open both hers and evie’s bottles with her ring before humming.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ “hardly a surprise.” her own chuckle echoes, turning her cigarette towards him in an offer instead.

[𝑐͟𝑎͟𝑠͟𝑠͟𝑖͟𝑢͟𝑠͟. ⭒ @obstinateidiot]

“ah, you think i’m pretty? that’s cute.”

he couldn’t help but snort this time. fingers already itching to grab another cigarette from his dwindling pack—— he held off for now.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ ( a chuckle leaves her, leaning in to steal a peck from her lips. ) good girl.

[* 𝐞͟𝐯͟𝐢͟𝐞.ᐟ @dreamsunwiind]

( breath catches and evie nods her head slightly. ) yes.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

@dreamsunwiind ᅟᅟ sweatpants and a sleeveless shirt settle on her frame as she returns to the kitchen, ruffling her dark hair with a smile.

ᅟᅟ “needed a good cold shower, yeah. this goddamn heat is hell.”

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ ( index and thumb curl around her chin, guiding her closer. ) yeah?

[* 𝐞͟𝐯͟𝐢͟𝐞.ᐟ @dreamsunwiind]

can i have more, please?

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ “cass.” the boricua accent rolls off her tongue softly, humming around her cigarette before laughing a bit.

ᅟᅟ “well, only to the pretty ones.”

[𝑐͟𝑎͟𝑠͟𝑠͟𝑖͟𝑢͟𝑠͟. ⭒ @obstinateidiot]

“cassius, can call me cass if you want.” he mentally pocketed her bad decisions statement for later. right now he offered her a smile—— though slightly forced due to the incoming headache he felt.

“you normally go around handing out bottles of liquor to strangers, 𝑠𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑎.ᐣ”

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

@dreamsunwiind ᅟᅟ “i got it, don’t worry. just need a place to dry out my towel after.”

ᅟᅟ she nods, a grin rising before she moves towards the bathroom, already settling onto getting a cold shower.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ go on, then.

[* 𝐞͟𝐯͟𝐢͟𝐞.ᐟ @dreamsunwiind]

mhmm.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ lengthy stretch. fuck. her back a
hurts.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ more like waiting for it to happen.

[𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘ᅟ𝒘𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀. @troubledchains]

you doubt me?

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ oh, yeah?

[* 𝐞͟𝐯͟𝐢͟𝐞.ᐟ @dreamsunwiind]

i’ll even ask nicely.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ “well, i am too prone to bad decisions.” she snorts lightly, still cradling her cigarette before smirking at the other.

ᅟᅟ “sofia. got a name?”

[𝑐͟𝑎͟𝑠͟𝑠͟𝑖͟𝑢͟𝑠͟. ⭒ @obstinateidiot]

“cigarettes just don’t enable my bad decisions.” shrugging it off as he finished his cigarette with relative quickness. tossing it down and stomping the embers out with his shoe.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

@dreamsunwiind ᅟᅟ “i’ll wait. do you need any help?” she asks softly, eyes moving up to her while she keeps petting the cat.

ᅟᅟ “though, i think i should shower first.”

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ could do a lot more if you asked.

[* 𝐞͟𝐯͟𝐢͟𝐞.ᐟ @dreamsunwiind]

very happy for me.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟ oh, gata, i am planning to.

@aglowsmith

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

@dreamsunwiind ᅟᅟ “hi, miso.” she smiles warmly at the kitten, crouching down to scratch her head softly, petting her chin. “such a pretty lady, just like your mom.”

ᅟᅟ a wink is shot evie’s way.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝕺𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚉 ⭑ .ᐟ ݁˖ @aglowsmith]

ᅟᅟa low chuckle leaves her, nose pressing upwards as she takes another puff, leaning back on her spot.

ᅟᅟ “reckon both of them are shit for health, honestly.”

[𝑐͟𝑎͟𝑠͟𝑠͟𝑖͟𝑢͟𝑠͟. ⭒ @obstinateidiot]

“the only thing keeping me sane right now.” he agreed readily, smoke filling his lungs the second he lit his cigarette. his body relaxing from its previously tense state—— liquor slowly leaving his mind for now.

“probably worse for me than alcohol, but better for my mental.”
