Hudson and Brad had been dating for almost a month now. Hudson had been the one to ask Brad out after his friends practically shoved him into it, and somehow it worked out. Brad was a little smaller than him, though they were still close in height. Hudson had brown hair with blonde highlights, and Brad’s hair was a soft brown.

They were sitting on the bleachers, sharing a cigarette and talking about random things and a bit of gossip. Brad sat on Hudson’s lap and handed the cigarette back to him. Hudson took it and looked down at him.

“Should we go on the subway so we can go to the mall once the bell rings?” Hudson asked.

Brad shrugged lightly, leaning back against him. “Yeah, that sounds fun. Maybe we can get food too? I’m starving.”

Hudson let out a small laugh. “You’re always starving.”
