@nepokickings โ yeah, really. itโs been so fucking boring, โ he says, voice light and girlish but edged with complaint. โ i thought iโd be out causing trouble โฆ but everyoneโs so lame. โ

micah walks quietly beside him for a moment listening closely his expression softening as he notices riverโs smile fade.
โ iโm sorry โฆ that sounds rough with your dad.
แ
Riverโs constant smile since the moment he met Micah finally dropped into somethingโฆ more fake , like he was caught off guard by such a question he shouldโve expected by now . Everyone asks it .

sheโs really controlling and sweet on the outside but it feels like sheโs always trying to keep me perfect for her. suffocating sometimes. and daddyโs just โฆ there. quiet. doesnโt really stop her. โ
micah walks closer letting their arms brush as they move down the street โ so tell me โฆ what made you decide to come all the way here from england anyway? was it just for your cousin or were you looking for a little adventure? โ
แ
micah nudges river lightly with his elbow and lets out a quiet laugh โ training huh? yeah โฆ you might be right about that. i guess i am pretty susceptible when someoneโs being this sweet to me. โ
แ
River would follow suit . second brown bag in right hand and straight to the exit where theyโd bump shoulders .
" Tskโฆ thatโs cool , Iโm already enjoying myself as is โ a little change in route wonโt kill me . "

he bit his lower lip gently and slows his steps so he can look at river properly โ and thank you for the compliment about my eyes. that was really nice. no oneโs said it quite like that before. โ
@nepokickings he shrugs, โ just rotting in my room most days, fighting with remi, listening to music loud enough to make my ears ring. nothing fun. no one interesting โฆ until you showed up, i guess. โ he smiled, softly.
@nepokickings micah lets out a soft, bitter little laugh and kicks at the ground, sending a small puff of dust up. he looks back up at him, blue eyes a mix of playful and genuinely tired.
โ mineโs been shit, honestly. boring as hell. โ
