Absence

“I brought your favorite drink,” you said, fidgeting with it. “I know that your dad never liked when I bought it for you. Then again, your dad never has really liked me, has he?”

You stared at the can in silence. You were so thirsty. “You don’t mind if I take a swig before I hand it over?” you asked. John never cared; he was always nice about sharing with you.

The can cracked when you broke the seal, letting out a hiss as it began to carbonate. It sprayed a bit on your hand. You absently licked the bubbles away before bringing the can to your lips.

“I promise I’m not going to drink the whole thing like last time,” you said reassuringly. The last time you had gotten really carried away and drank the entire thing. You weren’t going to make the same mistake twice, especially when there was that tension. So you had a few lukewarm gulps before setting the pop next to him.

As much as he might have wanted to, he wouldn’t touch it.

This interesting attempt at drawing fall in the evening goes with a story I'm currently finishing up and am going to post soon about Dave and John. ....I don't think I made Dave look as old as I wanted him to be.

It makes me want to cry. That's all there really is to say on the matter.

EDIT: HERE IS THE STORY THAT GOES WITH THIS PICTURE --> [link]

It's inspired by the song Inevitable by Anberlin and also a CMV on youtube with the same song which can be found here - [link]


John Egbert and Dave Strider belong to Andrew Hussie
That video belongs to the people who made it xD
ALSO PEPSI IS NOT MINE EITHER.
