You had just stepped out onto the balcony in your and Alec's room, you had come out to take a break and have a cigarette, it helped you to get rid of the stress of the day. You were a teacher and it was exam time so it was hard not to get stressed.

You had promised Alec to stop smoking, but it was complicated, you had made a breakthrough, for now you only smoked one cigarette a day and it was mostly at night, like now it was about 2 am and you had just taken the cigarette out of the box.

You lit your cigarette and took a few puffs before you felt arms around your waist. "You know how I think about you smoking." Alec's voice sounded next to your ear as he had rested his head on your shoulder. Although Alec doesn't like you smoking at all he doesn't try to take it away from you by force either, as he knows that's not good, he tries to stop you from smoking but when he sees you with the cigarette in your mouth he lets you take a few puffs as he knows you need it.
