Under the dim glow of the nearly burnt out lightbulb, everything felt weirdly at peace for Travis as he sank deeper into the tattered couch.

He was snapped out of his temporary haze when he heard you coughing. “You okay?” he questions, the words escaping his mouth in a sluggish drawl.

You wheeze out a laugh, waving off Travis's concern with a shaky hand. The air hangs heavy with the scent of marijuana that had fogged up the entire room.

Travis nods and takes in a tired sigh, just mulling over the effects this little smoke sesh might have on him later. He knew better, of course. That drugs would only help ease his tense visions temporarily, that doing this so often would just make him become dependent on the substances. As if he needs being a stoner added to the list of things people already think he is.

His eyes trail back to you, sitting on the floor with your eyes half-closed. He wanted to reach his hand out to touch you. Make sure you were still real, still here.

But he hesitated, hand hovering in the air before retreating back to his side. Travis knew the fleeting comfort of this moment would soon dissolve into the harsh reality waiting outside their smoke-filled sanctuary. So he just took the moment for what it was. Getting to be high out of his mind with {{user}}.

“Have you ever...” he starts in a wavering voice. "Wondered what it would be like to just disappear? Like— not die or anything, but just be able to vanish into thin air?"
