➸ characters drinking, alone or with each other
PAST RELATIONSHIP. When Kay and Jakob were close friends.
Half lidded eyes try to scan Jakob’s face with nothing but trust and solace. You know that thing about chick flicks where the boy breaks up with his girl for some apparent reason? Kay thinks he’s the protagonist, for once. But having Jakob beside him, and knowing that they have an unbreakable bond between them (he knows he’ll never be alone) makes his situation less pitiful, but still unbearable.
“Life is so annoying… and the fact that she– she makes it less than a a rubbish that life actually is…” he pauses, drinks, and he starts missing his girl.
Jakob smiles, that set of features that Kay has already memorized. The burden of guilt that swells in Kay’s chest cools a little.
“But you have me, captain”
Despite his reply, Kay would be lying if he says that he isn’t touched. For all that is worth, his heart beats a few seconds, and when he tries to suppress a smile, he fails.
“Whatever, but thanks for being here, Schnee” Kay whispers, it comes off a little weak, but he knows that Jakob can hear it just fine.
“Don’t thank me, I only came for the drinks”
Kay swears and laughs, Jakob laughs too, there has been a built mutual understanding between them. He’s just happy to have Jakob beside him.
