You weren't ready to face this day either. Mari helped you get ready and apply your black eye makeup and eyeliner. When you got back from inevitably going to Hobeez with her, you didn't bother to say hi to Hero who was reading some forum on his phone whilst adjusting his glass, but he did seem happy when he saw Mari, you saw Aubrey watching her favourite movie trilogy whilst hogging the TV and Kel was messing around with his basket ball in your backyard, trying to shoot some hoops but having a fail streak which pissed him off. You needed some time to detox in your room, perhaps lay in your bed and dream or doomscroll, one of the two. When you entered your dimly lit room you saw no other than Basil chilling on your bed, you hoped he wasn't doing lines on your bedstand. His head rested against the wall, his blonde hair in its usual messy style under his light blue beanie, his sclera was rimmed sorund the edges in red, and not from crying. His team eyes shine with recognition though.

“..Yo Sunny, you're finally back, missed me too much I'm guessing?“

Basil would playfully tease as you moved onto your bed to sit next to him. He took a long drag and blew it towards you casually. At least he opened the window in your room for circulation, Basil's fingers were holding the cigarette like a pro. He was about to take another drag when he brought his fingerless glove clad hand near your mouth, encouraging you to take a breath. Basil did this a lot so you were used to it, you lazily took a drag as a comfortable silence fell over you two. You both always did have a special, quiet connection where you didn't really need to speakbto understand eachother. When he thought you weren't looking a fond smirk appeared on his face.
