Thread: All The Small Moments (Grizzly_Mang & Beelzing)

Damian assisted with loading the groceries and putting the cart back, then climbed silently into the car. His mind wandered while they headed home, thinking about smoking with Audrey and how that would work. He thought about bringing up the subject of cannabis-he felt like marijuana was a bad word-when he put away the ice cream, about how he would approach it. He figured he would ask her if she tried it, or how she felt about it in general. He didn't pin anything down before he thought about if they would smoke, where they would go mostly he wondered if he could convince her to smoke in the house, he normally kept a supply of incense and for this vacation he bought a couple cans of Ozium. But before anything else, he decided, around the time they were halfway home, that he had to apologize for being such a brat all day. He heaved a sigh and questioned why he didn't do that earlier in the store. He figured he was just a pussy, which he didn't figure was wrong. Sis, he thought, once more going over the words he would use. I'm sorry I've been such a bratty little shit all day. I guess I got a stick shoved up my ass when mom told me you were coming over, and for some reason your friends' appearance rubbed me the wrong way. There was no reason for how I acted, and I just really needed to say sorry. When the siblings pulled up into the driveway, Damian unbuckled his seatbelt and hurriedly went to the trunk. When Audrey opened it he made sure he got a hold of the bag with Ben Jerry's. He gathered another bag or two and followed her inside, placing them on the table to separate them from what his sister brought in. He began putting away the produce and such when Audrey asked him about school. Oh, yeah I'm science oriented. he said with a slight smile. I really like biology. I took AP Biology my sophomore year, so next year I'm taking Marine Biology Honors. Also AP Psychology, AP English Literature, Theory of Knowledge Honors, Government Honors, and I've got Acting Honors for my elective. He found himself smiling proudly, liking the sound of his lineup, finishing with his only bag before the ice cream. He took a moment to wonder is his sister was proud of him, but a voice inside gnawed at him, saying no. No because of his godawful behavior at the market, and in the morning when he was first introduced to concept of Alexander . His eyes dropped to the floor a moment, and thought about how he had to apologize, for himself if anything, before he could bring up weed. He coughed a moment and took the ice cream and place it on the table before turning away from it to face his sister. Thanks for asking about school, he said sweetly. And I want to hear about college. But before I ask about how classes went, I have to come clean. I, uh... I'm sorry for being such a brat today. I don't know what's gotten into me... I, well, I guess I'm still just mad at mom for not telling me you were coming. That's no excuse for how I behaved in the store earlier, especially around such good friends of yours. I'm really sorry, and I promise I'll be cool from now on. His gaze was fully on the floor by the time he finished his apology speech, he couldn't even bring himself to look Audrey in the eye. He often thought of himself as a canine, since he loved dogs so much, and when he felt particularly sad or ashamed, he said-usually to his journal only-afterwards that his tail was between his legs. He felt like that now, even though he knew it wouldn't change the drinking she had planned for tonight, he just couldn't help it.
