Griff raised a brow and Lukas' remark. He opened his mouth to question further, but decided against it. Instead, he lifted his hand and lightly rubbed at the scar on his lips, which he frequently would do when lost in thought. Doubting that is new friends swung that way, he only smiled to himself and decided to play it off, "I only keep my wallet in my back pockets. But hey, do you come here every night or what?"
Lukas nodded, "Only thing I got to do" hr said, "Aint got nothing better to do"
Griff heard his zoo crew exit the building, standing up, he offered his hand to Luke "Well, how about i meet you here tomorrow night? i might be a little late, but i'll be here." Griff smiled brightly, "Unless you wanna do something else"
Lukas nodded, "We'll meet here. But who knows where the night will take is" he said, standing and stumbling, almost falling
Even though he was sluggish thanks to the alcohol, Griffs reflexes kicked in. He caught Lukas before he could fall, "Woah. Milashka, you gonna be okay?" getting more concerned about his friend, Griff managed to pull out his wallet and pull out some cash "Here," he handed him fifty dollars "This is to make sure you get home safely…"
Lukas grunted, looking at him, "I cant accept this," he shoved it back, "Ill make it" he stumbled away, reliing on the wall before suddenly doubling over and puking
Griff winced in sympathy before walking up behind him and placing a hand on Lukas' back. "You are in no condition to be on your own." Griff began rubbing his back in a soothing manner. "Crash at my place. That way someone can keep an eye on you." Concern filled griffs vibrant blue eyes.
Lukas looked up at him, wiping his mouth. He opened his mouth to refuse, then sighed, "Alright" he grunted, stumbling to a standing position, "Sure, why not"
"Good! Stay put. Ill go let my other friends know and make a call for a ride." Griff walked away and out of the alley. But before he could turn the corner he stopped. It was obvious he was talking to his other friends, but his smile didnt seem to reach his eyes. Waving his hand, the smile dropped as soon as the others were gone. He then rounded the corner to make the call.
Lukas raised an eyebrow, "I'm not causing you trouble, am I?" He croaked quietly, noticing the small things
It took only a few moments for him to finish with his call. Griff then walked back into the alley and towards Lukas. "Good news! My sister is coming to get us." Griff smiled wide, "but, she told me that if you puke in her car she will skin you alive." Griff started laughing "but no worries, i'll take the beating for ya."
Lukas chuckled, leaning against the wall, "I'm not causing you too much trouble am I?" He asked, suddenly feeling tired
Griff tilted his head slightly in confusion, "Why would you ask that? you're no trouble at all." He had noticed how exhausted Lukas looked. Feeling bad for him, Griff walked up next to him, grabbed his arm, and put it over his shoulders. "Use me for support."
Lukas gratefully accepted the help, suddenly feeling like he could fall asleep on his feet. He figured it must be all of the alcohol catching up to him
Griff helped him out of the alley so they could wait by the road. "maybe you should have slowed down on the smoking. the strain i have in there helps with anxiety, so it can make some people a little drowsy." He chuckled under his breath. "Ty slishkom milyy." Griff said that last bit under his breath and he glanced over Lukas. Suddenly, a red 2017 dodge charger rolled up in front of them. "Well that was fast. C'mon, ill help you in." Griff opened up the back door for Lukas to climb in.
Lukas got in, leaning his head back against the seat. He forced himself to keep his eyes open, rubbing them furiously. Habitually, he dove in his pocket for his bag, pulling out one and popping it in his mouth, swallowing quickly and letting out a relieved sigh, tucking the bag back in his pocket.
Here's a list of things Lukas is currently addicted to, and has on him! Yay! A flask with vodka, two bags of weed, a bag of xanax pills (that's what he just took) and a bottle of what looks like perscription pills but is actually cocaine in pill capsuls. He's pretty fucked up. Besides that, he's started dabbling in heroine, but he doesn't have any on him//
Griff closed the door after Lukas got situated, climbing into the front seat he was punch in the arm by the woman in the drivers seat. Her silver hair and ice blue eyes were a stark contrast from her dark caramel colored skin. "If you EVER, and i mean EVER call me this late again, i will shove your gloves up your zhopa. Understand?" Her accent was just as heavy as her brothers, yet she looked twice as scary as she glared to her rearview mirror, directly aimed at Lukas "I'm Alistrov by the way, and YOU. If you need to hurl, roll down the window." Griff lightly slapped her arm and said a few words to her in russian before she began driving. Turning around in his seat, Griff tried to smile, but it was obvious he was embarrassed,
"Sorry about Alistrov, shes not a night person. You gonna be okay though?"
Lukas chuckled, "Yeah, I'll be alright," he said, "If you can believe it, I've had worse nights," he felt tired again, so he pulled out a perscription pill bottle and took out a small tablet filled with fine white powder. he capped the bottle and put it away, needing the spike of energy the white substance would provide
Noticing the pill, Griff knew it couldnt be anything safe. In the blink of an eye, Griff had unbuckled his seatbelt and climbed into the backseat to snatch the pill away from Lukas. "Hate me all you want, i'm not letting you do that around me. especially not after drinking and popping a xanax. it'll either send you to the hospital or kill you." Sitting down next to him, Griff stuffed the pill into his front pocket. "And while I've had plenty to drink, a swift punch to your noggin will make you sleep like a baby." For once, Griff seemed to have an angry look on his face, and the energy around him gave off a 'dont fuck with me' vibe. "Dont make my knuckles hurt any more than they already do."
Lukas blinked, a bit shocked by the outburst. He glared at the man, but inwardly knew he was right. The man sighed, grunting in acknowledgement before turning and looking out the window as they drove
Realizing he made Lukas upset, Griff remained quiet for the rest of the drive. Thanks to Alistrovs…quick driving, it was a much shorter drive than it should have been. She only slowed down as she approached a large gate. Pulling up to the intercom, she quickly punched in the passcode, causing the gates to open and reveal a rather large house. While it could be mistaken for a mansion, it wasnt quite as big, yet the architecture was elegant and somewhat Grecian looking. Griff hadnt even noticed they had arrived, he just continued to stare out the window and beat himself up mentally. Gods how he hated making anyone upset, maybe he should take something to take the edge off.
Lukas gaped at the building. He hadn't mentioned it, but he was currently squatting in an apartment. He didn't have a permanent to place. He got out, using the car to stabilize himself as the world began to spin again. He looked over at Griff, "I better be getting that shit back at some point" he growled, "That cost me a shit ton of monwy"
Griff got out of the car and closed the door. Quickly saying a few words to Alistrov, she nodded and headed for the front door. Griff had walked around to Lukas and began helping him into the house, "I'll reimburse you for all of it if you leave all your stuff with Eddy." Griff glanced at Lukas "cause no offense, but with how close you were to taking it a few moments ago, i dont quite trust you." Helping Lukas to the front door, an elderly gentleman in sleepwear opened it up from the inside
Lukas sighed and nodded, "Yeah, okay" he grunted, fishing through his pockets before they were at the door, revealing the bags of canabis and a ziploc bag with xanax pills inside. He shoved them vaguely towards Griff and looked up as the door opened, "Evening, Gramps" he grunted, "Didn't wake you up, I hope"
"Oh no," the elder man smiled as he took the substances from Griff, "thanks to another young man i know, im quite used to being woken up." A light pink rose to Griffs cheeks.
"Thanks for everything Ed. Is there a spare room set?" The old man nodded and gestured to one of the many halls. Griff then began helping Lukas to a room. "Thanks for cooperating. But i do need to ask, why do you trust me so much? Im not saying its wrong, but usually people put up quite a fight. Not saying they need to fight me." Griff rambled as more red flushed to his face. Feeling like an idiot who just dug his own grave, he lightly bit his bottom lip, "I'll just stop talking."
