I'm sorry, I was forced to shovel.

Abra gave him a roll of the eyes as she followed him into the kitchen. She reached out to take a fruit from the fruit basket only to find that it was growing mold, it made her crack a smile. Leave it to Jace to not keep the tidiest house around. "I'm not wasted because I'm an adult and I had work." She giggled as she tossed the orange clear into the bin. "Nah, it's different Jace...I feel that after awhile as you get older all those things just seem arbitrary and pointless. Getting shitfaced has become boring." She stared down at the rest of the molding oranges, as she continued to think. For a long time they'd spent most of their nights getting drunk here and there with either multiple groups of people or just the two of them. It was weird considering that most of the nights she remembered one of them always ended up getting slightly too touchy with the other, resulting in an awkward vibe the proceeding morning. But lately she'd decided against her usual drowning of drinks on his floor, it seemed as if getting drunk was the only thing out there for someone her age in this town.
Zane watched as she sat back down and he followed after, sitting on the other end of the sofa. He listened, letting her have her few groans and complaints as he sat there with his hands tapping against the flow of the music. Once she'd stopped speaking and continued, he frowned. He wracked his brain as he tried to think over the many chick flicks that he'd watched with her and how their friends had always comforted them. He smirked at the plethora of cliches, before turning back to her to catch the bit about her getting hit with the cigarette. "Well I do apologize for that." He chuckled as he leaned into the sofa before fixing his head so that he could get a proper look at her. "Well, your boyfriend's...er ex is a royal prick and it's good that things are over between the two of you. There'll be other opportunities that will open out there for you...as long as you don't continue to sit your ass on my sofa and mope." He smirked, clearly picking at her as he reached over and tickled the area near her neck.
