📌 : railroad tracks (:

⏰ : august 14th, 2023 (1 day before the disappearance of luke sinclair — luke sinclair's birthday)

they're trying with thomas. it feels weird, not going out of their way to piss him off, but there came a point where milo felt afraid they'd ruin everything if they didn't get it together right away. so, they had to put aside their differences, let go of any holdups. it was hard to try and win him over; the fact was, no matter how hard they tried, they both knew milo was never going to be good enough for camille. but they were here to stay. so they take the chance. it's just the few of them alone for the week, ample time to spend together, to build a case for himself. the last two days, however, milo was absolutely failing at their mission. "you ever been on the tracks when a train is coming? i've almost gotten squashed, like, so many times." he's learning he can't really say anything to make himself sound better. half the time, milo doesn't realize until the words are out that whatever they're sharing just furthers their image as a stupid dirtbag. should he just start lying? would thomas like him better then? "i mean like... once or twice." they kick a pebble, watching it bounce off of the tracks "i'm actually very... ʳᵉˢᵖᵒⁿˢᶦᵇˡᵉ..." their voice is getting smaller, and they clear their throat, hand brushing over the top of their head as they search their brain for something, anything to not sound like a moron "it's cool that you're here. not that i didn't think you'd get an invite— i mean, it's cool that we've got, like, mutual friends.. and shit..."

Mr Hardy, I didn't see you in class... again. I was expecting to read your latest report but i was informed that you skipped not only my class but Mr Johnson's too. I wonder what would possibly be more important than my class. Would you be so gentle to enlighten me?

milo was starting to understand that he didn't really know thomas, so much as he knew thomas' neuroses. he knew the man's behavior when pushed to the limits of his patience. it just so happened that milo's existence was a test of it. he considered honesty, before last night. assuring thomas that he really did mean the best, but that required a level of vulnerability that their dynamic simply didn't allow. even so, he imagined that honesty would be viewed as nothing more than another annoyance— it was with liza, at least. the truth was, their word wasn't enough. no one had reason to trust that they were anything more than a shithead. somehow, they only knew how to double down on it. cowardly.

they don't move closer, but stay standing, lingering nearby. it's laughable how milo has to try not to give into that lazy boy urge to sit criss-cross applesauce on the scorched grass. they just watch thomas' movements, grimacing with a sort of empathic pain as thomas is seated. again, they have to push back that familiar urge to say something shitty, annoying, a question about if thomas' ass is alright "i'm not pretending, dipshit." they'd thought last night had given them away, but maybe milo's image was safer than they thought. that, or thomas really thought they were an asshole "yeah, didn't answer my question. did someone look at it?" they hate the tone that they take on, the same one hurled kingston's way at the cabin, telling him to sit the fuck down "if it's still bleeding you could need, like, stitches or some shit."

" riiiiiight , " thomas drawled , an impatience festering beneath the surface of his tight lips which were pressed into a hard line . his defenses had flown back up around the other following kody's admittance into their cabin — walls that now felt somewhat forced , given how he had actually started taking a minor liking to the guy solely because milo actually talked to him . it was as if every time thomas tried to mend a wound , repair some damange he had done , be a surface-level good person , , , the tide turned and carried him out in a rip current with all the intentions of drowning him . he and kody had even talked civilly , when they had gone out to get b-roll footage at the caves , but all of that progress had been lost the moment they had all opted in to doing that damn fuckin' ouiji shit . once again ; thomas saying it was a bad idea and no one listening because FUCK HIM , right ??

cocking a brow , thomas's eyes trailed the streaks of scorched flesh ornamenting milo's arms, tongue pressing to the back of his teeth . shaking his head , the man moved towards one of the stumps that had been hoisted over for the bon fire , managing to get himself down to sit on it , landing with far more weight than he had anticipated with a soft grunt resonated in his throat from the impact . " well , you don't have to do that . pretending you care ain't gonna do shit for either of us , milo , " thomas grit , immediately dropping his pulsing head into his hand , though his gaze couldn't help but find the other once more ; his sister's thing , his ex's best friend , his biggest headache . he frowned at their gesture , waving a dismissive hand at the concern ; " it's , , , fine . just bleedin' a fuck ton . can't seem to get it to stop . "

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 — thomas ortesky 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 — the kitchen

"munchies, tommy?" they wear a shit eating grin and a collection of fresh hickies as they reach past him, plucking a drying lime from a cutting board on the counter as they hop up next to it, dangling feet swinging happily. it wasn't that they didn't like thomas, they normally tried to be on their best behavior, but that base instinct to annoy came out the moment they were inebriated. and, truth be told.. they only got to see each other for longer periods of time when they weren't sober "or are you also getting ko a drink?" placing the slice of lime in their mouth, they don't seem in a rush to actually pour said drink.

All I want is to fly with you

All I want is to fall with you

So just give me all of you

It feels impossible

It's not impossible

Is it impossible?

Say that it's possible

huh. milo is quiet for a few seconds, squishing the cigarette in his hand back to a sort of cylindrical shape and watching thomas with furrowed brows "think you'll be in worse condition if you're concussed, tomothy." they shrug, sniffling behind a hand illuminated by flame before shuffling forward a few inches to crack open the door behind them.

"i'll wear a mask!" smoke rushes out of their mouth with their words, though they know they don't have anything particularly mask-like "how would i get her sick?" he doesn't add in the additional context that they're not together, knowing, almost smugly, that that didn't mean very much "and 'sides, reeve and kingston didn't look too hot either." they're almost sad he's stopped banging his head against the wall, at least before they could find a microphone to make a beat out of it.

"stooooop whining, are you always groan-y like that?" poor kody, in that case "look, shit happens, i'm-" the next words sound almost painful to speak "i'm sorry." his free hand tosses the stack of bills, hitting thomas' curled up form in the head "down payment."

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎— ALL THOMAS COULD muster in reply to the comment that came from what he had learned to be loose lips was roll his eyes , tilting his head forward before dramatically tossing it back to THUNK against the cabin wall behind him . he sipped air slowly , cautiously , through his nostrils as if worried the very virus in question was drifting on the stale air between them . if he got sick , he'd go to find luke in the great beyond by hurling himself off a fuckin' cliff . having to deal with all of this and a cold ?? thomas would die . one way or the other .

with each sneeze , thomas winced , striking his spine against rotted wood as the urge to curse at milo pinched his throat , catching his tongue between his teeth . maybe he'd go stay with cam and eliza ; a circumstance that , at one point in time , seemed too close for comfort but now was appearing to be his only saving grace lest he catch whatever illness was accompanying the drugs and bottomless stupidity that coursed through milo's body .

" you get cam sick , it'll be a whole other fuckin' problem , man , " thomas grit between his teeth , closing his eyes , feeling the thrum of his pulse as a headache bloomed in his temples . the temptation to continue knocking his skull in rhythm with his heartbeat on the wall behind him was so strong it felt irresistible . so , he tightened his jaw , rounded his arms around his legs , and dropped his forehead to his knees instead .

" you don't wanna know , " thomas groaned into denim , just thinking about the camera's price tag enough to make his already flittering patience thin . " - way too much fuckin' money . too bad i didn't pay the god damn insurance on it cause i didn't account for the mindfulness of my company. "
