Work Text:
we sat there on a freeway bridge in the dawn of night, i was drinking a bottle of smirnoff, watching the lights of the city get slowly blurred together leaving a drunken smile on my face.
we sat there enjoying the lights of the city gleaming upon the night sky. they glisten a yellow orange color some flickering on and off, the cars underneath the bridge retaliating it. they sat next to me atop the busy freeway road, despite it being late the cars seemed to not stop coming.
as i was intent with the seemingly never ending trails of traffic. they blew a puff of smoke towards me and i turned to look at them, despite the blurry effects of the alcohol i could see they turned towards the cars below with a smirk plastered on their face. i watched curiously as they took another puff a chuckle escaping their lips accompanied by more smoke.
i rolled my eyes and took another long drink from my bottle gagging as it went down my throat burning it in a pleasant way that i seemingly couldn’t get enough of. i let the bitter taste seep in still feeling the need to throw up, frowning i sighed.
i could see him looking at me threw my long bangs despite the long dark hair and the alcohol i could see him. from time to time i’d admittedly stare back
i know he was waiting for a reaction so i give him just that and i guess nudging his shoulder as opposed to get back at them might make me feel better “hey careful you’ll push me down” they said which was responded with a shrug and the sounds of the road below being nothing but some honking and the sound of people driving the sound was distant but still audible.
with that they took another puff of the e- cigarette they’ve been using and blew it at me once again the smell of grapes soaking into my clothes and hair.
reaching into my pocket i pulled out a box of cigarettes placing one in my mouth and lighting it watching the flames, amused by them.
they hated the smell of cigarettes and i used it to my advantage.
i took a long drag and blew it at them just as they sucked another puff, they started choking up and glared at me, as i watched them.
“told you not to do that anymore” i said a genuine smile appearing on my face, the rest of the night went on like that
“you know this isn’t gonna last forever” they said getting a drink of my liquor. “i suppose so” my drunk smile dimmed “jeez how do you drink this crap?” i let out a small laugh as i took another drag putting out the ‘cigarette’ that was nothing now but a piece of cotton. then i flicked it off watching it disappear into the darkness, a reminder that this is how i chose to throw my life away.
