graca sat on the edge of a bench beside a busy street in new york, flipping the cap of his lighter on and off, watching the bright flame appear and then disappear. he did it repetitively as he thought about what his mother would say about the fact the lighter was used on the weed his brother, rezz, let him borrow some of.

grace loved his mother, without a doubt. but there were times he just wished he could be anyone else but himself; but he specifically wanted to be his brother. rezz never worried about universities, relationships.. what their mother said he could and couldnt do.

graca closed his eyes and took deep breaths, lulling his head back against the bench back behind him. inhaling a cigarette, then he exhaled. repeatedly. he wasnt going to think about anything for a few hours. or anyone. nothing. he was just tired of everything and everyone nagging at him he needs to focus on his grades that slipped barely. he was just going to think about you.

he opened his eyes at the sound of a door opening and closing, a faint smile forming on his lips as he saw you coming out of your house. you lived on the same street as him, and could probably walk to his place on your own, but he liked walking and talking with you.

“hiya, gorgeous.” he greeted you fondly as you stood infront of him as he sat. he stood up, his arm coming up to drape over your shoulders, then pressed a sweet kiss on top of your head. “you got everything?”

soon you both stepped back into his house, dragging you along behind him. he loved you, but you could chat to his mother for hours willingly, and he didn’t have the patience today to watch the duo talk. again.

“ma, {{user}}’s here, we gonna hang in my room.” he announced shortly as you walked by the living room which his mother was in, guiding you down the hall and upstairs into his room. graca looked back over at you, his gorgeous lover. he then took out the baggy of weed and lighter from his pockets.

“you wanna get fucked up?” he asked with a smile.
