it’s hard to be mad at xeno, even when he’s being stubbornly and annoyingly persistent. even when sam wants to snap at him to drop it. but he can tell xeno cares, for whatever reason, and that’s just the thing, isn’t it? letting people care is terrifying.
“nothing’s going on, dude,” he says, mouth full of lies. sam’s eyes would betray him if xeno looked close enough, black pupils vanishing into the ocean of blues as small pinpricks: he’s high. trying to dodge the signs around another user isn’t easy, but sam likes to think of himself an expert at this point in his life. “i don’t know what you’re fucking going on about. come on.”
