[witchsickness]

I’m so excited for TF5!!! When would it be out!! I’m not rushing you or anything!!

babe you have full permission to drop a cartoon anvil on my head for taking literal weeks! i’ve been on vacation and my brain’s decided to go completely offline but uh. here’s a sneak peek? as an apology and a promise to have the last chapter up really really really soon <3

‘Your shift’s not over yet.’

Harrington pops the bag of gummy berries open. ‘Sure it is,’ he says around a blackberry. 

The tips of Billy’s fingers, curled tight around the wheel, go blue. 

‘Fine,’ Harrington says, chewing, ‘technically, it’s not. But it’s fine, Rob can handle it. Barely anyone’s out of their home after ten in this town.’ 

‘Thank fuck for that.’ Billy passes a hand over his face, and turns to find Harrington watching him. 

‘Yeah,’ he says, and, ‘Here,’ holding a raspberry up to Billy’s mouth. Presses until—until Billy’s parting his lips to let Harrington in. Then he falls against the seat with a muted sound, licking the grease off his fingers. ‘Had to walk ten blocks today.’ 

Jaws gelatin-glued together, Billy hums around the cloying taste of artificial tartness. He’ll need something stronger than machine-produced raspberries if this is going where he thinks it is. 

‘My car was out of commission,’ Harrington goes on, ‘someone pulled an early Halloween prank, see. Way worse than getting TPed, by the way, those vines. Super insistent. Thought about trying an ax, but the paint’s fresh. Would’ve been a shame.’ 

‘You were being a bitch,’ Billy says, looking wistfully at the bag of candy resting on Harrington’s lap. After a second, another raspberry pokes at his lips. Billy tongue-scoops it into his mouth, licks at it. Licks the tip of Harrington’s finger, too.
