"Hmm," He nodded, "I get it." Alaric turned to face him. "So you're not addicted? To anything?" He sounded surprised but felt his face heat up, when he kind of processed what he'd said. "Sorry– That came out wrong."
"Hmm," He nodded, "I get it." Alaric turned to face him. "So you're not addicted? To anything?" He sounded surprised but felt his face heat up, when he kind of processed what he'd said. "Sorry– That came out wrong."
"Other than not sleeping and sneaking out?" said Skye, "Nope, I'm not. And probably never will be."
"Yeah, you seem to like toeing the line of trouble." Alaric chuckled, "But addiction, yeah that's what I thought too."
"What about you?" asked Skye, "Got anything non medical?'
(idk what u mean sorry i only have 1 1/2 braincells)
(Does he have any addictions himself?)
"Mh, just smokin' when I'm not feeling too good, but," He took a bigger sip of his drink, "A few years back, things were really bad at home. Found mom's old prescription." Alaric shrugged and looked down shamefully. He'd never told anyone about this.
Skye frowned, "Do you still take the meds?" he asked, slightly concerned.
"Nah, nah," He shook his head, "Just on.. y'know, bad days. But I'm better now, yeah. Yeah, a few years back. Shit really hit the fan"
Skye nodded, he felt bad for the other. "Sorry to hear that.." he said, finishing up his milkshake. "What say we go for that swim huh?"
"Mhm, yeah." Alaric raked his hand through his light hair, feeling tired. "Were leavin' Thanks for the drinks!" He paid for their drinks and headed for the door. As they walked out, Rick heard the owner muttering to himself, "Still trouble."
Skye watched him as they left. "Did you ever get any sleep?" he asked. "I mean, you look tired.."
"Nah, I meant to, after going to the warehouse." He shook his head, "But I knew I wouldn't make it to my meds if I did." Alaric almost laughed at the memory of passing out on the sidewalk. He would've been dead by morning. "I will…later."
Skye sighed, "Your choice, just don't drown on me" he said, leading the way down an alley and then up a fire escape.
"Hmph, yeah I'll try not to." He said and quirked a brow as they walked up a fire escape, "Skye, where are we going?"
Skye smirked, "I figured we'd take the fast way" he said, summoning a whisp of blue and silver aura.
"Mkay, just don't screw up?" Alaric laughed nervously, then stepped forward. He'd never done this before and hoped he didn't get motion sickness.
(would it be funny if they got yeeted into the ocean?)
(Skye's too skilled for that, but yes… XD)
Skye laughed, "I never screw up" he said confidently, swirling it so it made a portal. Then taking Alaric's hand he led him up to the portal pulling him through.
Alaric's first instinct was to recoil at Skye's hand in his, but the more rational part of him said it was okay, and that he trusted him. His trust for Skye was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked it.
Skye led him through the portal and out into a narrow alley, you could hear water splashing as Skye led Alaric out onto the street and down a few blocks, over to a narrow strip of beach. "This good enough?" he asked.
Alaric breathed in the seawater and sighed peacefully, "Yeah." He let go of Skye's hand and buried his own in his jacket pockets. Rick felt awfully strange. "Uh, the water should be nice."
"Yeah, you still wanna go in?" he asked.
"Yeah. Definitely." He chose a log to put his clothes and shoes on, then dived into the water. Alaric laughed again, a rarity,
"I think I squashed a fish!"
Skye laughed, pulling his hoodie off and then his shoes and socks. Revealing a well toned torso he rolled up his pants and dove in after Alaric. "Whoo!" he whooped, paddling out. "This is the life!"
