' do you ever think that in another life...maybe w- ya know what ? never mind. ' hands are stuffed into pockets, eyes squinting as he looks in the opposite direction from the man at his side.
there's something sentimental in the scene. just the two of them, having a cigarette on the dark alleyway, with the distant city ambience drowned somewhere in the background.
except, it's been well over twenty years from those days. and now, instead of being that insecure, crushing teen who was too nervous to look directly at the man beside him, there's a limo waiting for giovanni to finish his break and get back to the few tasks still waiting to be finished before morning.
being alone with him is odd. for a moment, it feels like another dimension. maybe even one where they weren't torn into the opposite directions. those words cause his gaze to subtly move towards nanu. yet again, his phone rings, interrupting the thought. giovanni shifts, taking out the phone and turning it off without a word.
if none of this existed, could've they made it? in another life, without interpol and without rocket, would've they had a chance? of course, it's useless to think about. a pure waste of time.
yet those words circle through his mind, repeating a few times over.
' do you ever think that? '
“ i do, ” an obscure reply, left lingering in the air. then, he turns, flicking off the cigarette before giving his old ‘ friend ’ one more glance over his shoulder. “ do you want a ride? ”
