it’s a rare occasion indeed that nix isn’t high. he hasn’t touched anything harder than weed in more than a year, of course, but the sentiment remains: he’s always high. casey’s a different story. casey’s only high when they’re alone together and there’s no chance of absolutely anyone witnessing it other than the two of them, because in casey’s world, there is and always has been a very firm divide between what nix is allowed to see and what other people are allowed to see. it’s a boundary that nix has always gotten a kick out of testing but never actually crossing--sure, casey makes himself way too easy to poke fun at, and watching him go beet red in public is the height of comedy, but he respects him too much to go any further than that. and anyway, in spite of his teasing, it means a lot to him to know casey trusts him as much as he does. it’s just that it really is a shame, because he doesn’t think he knows anyone funnier than casey when he’s high.
case in point, he’s only just managed to get his breath back after having collapsed into a fit of laughter, ab muscles screaming with pain but in the very best way. although to be fair, it wasn’t this casey that had sent him into hysterics--it had been the casey on nix’s laptop screen, the one immortalized on youtube playing what nix believes to be the world’s funniest take on the girlfriend tag. this isn’t the first time they’ve been high and nix has forced casey to rewatch it with him, and it won’t be the last. “how many times--” he starts, falls back into laughter, and tries again, “how many times can you say the same thing? margo’s out here trying to play the fucking game and all you can say is, ‘no, that’s you!’” again he descends into peals of laughter, going so far as to rapidly kick casey out of nothing more than a need to physically express how badly this is getting to him. “the raw clown energy, case, it’s shocking.” ( @ofccasey )
