for once, noah wasn’t high. he’d been having a relatively good day. the tattoo shop had been busy so he hadn’t even had time to think about getting high as he was too busy doing his job. it was only when he returned home that he felt the slight u r g e to have a joint, thinking that it would make the stress of the day fade a little. he held back, though, wanting to see if it actually was possible for him to ignore the little nagging feeling that he had which was trying to encourage him to do so. he’d been contemplating heading to bed, hoping that sleep would make the feeling disappear, when he suddenly heard someone’s voice. with a frown, he walks towards the door only to see huck with his head stuck through the cat flap, clearly completely out of it. “you’re a mess,” he mumbles, shaking his head. “what if you end up STUCK in there??”
“ y o u ‘ r e a mess. “ the retort comes laced with a childish tone, which, in all truth, should be EXPECTED. he hadn’t given his point of entry much thought, but when does he ever give a n y t h i n g any kind of thought ?? “ you sayin’ my head is fat ?? ‘cos that’s— that’s just RUDE. “ he can’t even look up at noah properly as he speaks, having to keep his gaze trained on the floor— everything was h a z y and muddled, anyway. “ h e y, hey NOAH— you should’a come out with me !! you missed me kickin’ this guy’s ass; it was GREAT. “ he lets a drunken giggle slip past his lips, ignoring the way it made his head pound even harder. “ hey, can i come in ?? s’rude to leave guests waitin’ at the door, y’know. you’re bein’ s o RUDE tonight. “ he slurs through his words as he moves to back out of the cat flap, hitting his nose on the way out. “ ow, god d a m n it !! why is it so SMALL ?? what about the fat cats, noah ?? how are they s’posed to get inside ?? “ he’s on his back, yelling questions towards the sky without a thought about who ELSE he could be disturbing.
