Work Text:
Yellow was working on some coding project when her roommate, Blue, finally came home. It’d been a couple hours since classes ended, but Blue insisted on going out to get… whatever it was he went out to get. Yellow didn’t push Blue to tell her about it.
The lights were off in their dorm since Yellow had been alone for a bit, and Blue didn’t turn them back on when she went to set her bag down on the bottom bunk. Yellow looked down to try and see what he had, but his hand covered it up before she could figure out what it was.
Blue looked up for a moment and saw Yellow peeking, chuckling as she tried to pretend she wasn’t looking. “That curious, huh?”
“Well, you were gone for hours…” Yellow mumbled, “Only natural for me to be a little curious.”
“Chill out, I just had to get some stuff done. And, I got us a treat. Y’know, before exams start.” Blue searched in her bag for a minute before setting something aside. Yellow, again, still couldn’t really see it. Curse her and her terrible vision—
“What is it?” Yellow tilted her head, leaning over her bunk a bit to look down at Blue. She was able to see two plastic bags, different sizes, but it was too dark to see the contents.
“Weed.” Blue simply answered, pointing to one of the bags. “And edibles.” He pointed at the other one. “There was a shop on the way, so I decided to grab some. I’ve been stressed out about exams, and I’m sure you are too. We can smoke some together.”
“I– Blue, I don’t- I don’t smoke. I’ve never done that before.” Yellow stuttered, looking at Blue. “Don’t bring me into your… stonerness.”
“That’s why I got the edibles! C’mon, don’t pussy out. There’s a first time for everything.” Blue shrugged. “You’ll end up trying it eventually anyways. Why not try it with me? It’ll be nice.”
“I mean, maybe? What if I end up not having a good time though– I know that stuff doesn’t always clash well with everyone.” Yellow fidgeted with her hands, but she still moved to save her project and put her laptop away. She took off her glasses and put them in the case while she was at it. She couldn’t see shit now, but it was fine.
“I’ll be there with you, you’ll be fine.” Blue rolled his eyes. “You’re so dramatic. You’ve gotta stop reading those horror story things online, dude.”
“Hey– You’re right…” Yellow mumbled, hating how Blue was right. She did have a bad habit of letting herself get scared of stuff because she read some Reddit horror story relating to it. Real people post those though! She wasn’t being dumb.
“I know I’m right.” Blue hummed, shutting her bag and looking up at Yellow. “You wanna watch a movie when you try it? We can find some dumb movie on whatever… You probably won’t end up caring for it though.”
“Yeah, yeah… Sounds good.” Yellow’s voice was a little shaky as she climbed off of the top bunk, and followed Blue to the living room. She trusted Blue, yeah, but this was drugs– She wasn’t one to judge people who smoked weed and that stuff, but doing it herself? She was supposed to be a good role model, damn it.
Blue sat on the couch and moved to the side so Yellow could comfortably sit next to him. She did just that; sitting as close as possible and resting her head on his shoulder. She watched anxiously as Blue took one of the edibles out of the bag, broke a piece off, and handed it to her.
“That should be a relatively low dose.” Blue had clearly eyeballed it without much care. Either way, Yellow took it. “It’s not like it’ll kill you if it’s a little high of a dose for your first time. You’ll just feel it a bit more.”
“Easy for you to say… You have a tolerance, Blue.” Yellow muttered. “I don’t trust you for this stuff.”
“Hey, don’t be rude. I spent my own money to let you try this.” Blue rolled her eyes. “I got you the good stuff, too. Just know it’s probably not going to taste great. I remember that I really didn’t like the taste when I first had one.”
“Good to know…” Yellow ate it, and tried to ignore how her anxiety made her hands tremble a bit. Once Blue noticed, he grabbed her hand to try and be comforting.
“You don’t gotta be all scared, nerd. You’ll be fine.” Blue’s voice was a little bit softer than before, but not like he was babying Yellow or anything. “It’s just an edible. Look at me– if it wasn’t safe, you’d know. Those are my favorites, dude.”
Yellow just nodded, and Blue adjusted to lay down on the couch and pull Yellow to rest on top of her. She ate the rest of what was left of what she gave Yellow — a bigger chunk, yeah, but she had a tolerance unlike the goody two-shoes she had on top of her. She put on some random movie as they both got comfortable.
About 30 minutes later — really, neither of them were keeping track of the time — it had kicked in for Yellow. Surprisingly, she didn’t feel like she was dying. It wasn’t surprising to Blue, obviously.
“Dude– Blue-” Yellow stammered, even though she was speaking slower than normal. “I’m pretty sure it, like, works… If you’d like to know.”
“Uh, it kicked in? Good to know. Was wondering why you were starin’ off into nothing for a minute there.” Blue adjusted Yellow a bit so that the two of them were looking at one another. “Oh, Jesus, you’re really far gone there, huh?”
“What… are you talking about...” Yellow mumbled, trailing off as she somehow managed to get distracted staring at Blue’s eyes. If Blue didn’t want her to get distracted, maybe her eyes shouldn’t be so detailed, damn it.
“Uh- you’re just looking at everything really intently. Like, you’re looking at me like I’m the only thing that exists besides you or something. You feeling alright, girl?” Blue tried not to freak her out at all, but he wasn’t really used to being stared at like that.
“I see what they mean by, um… that one phrase… something something clouds.” Yellow kept talking quiet, and yeah, Blue could tell she was up in the clouds.
“Alright, sweetie, just… watch the movie.” Blue moved her head to get Yellow’s attention back on the TV screen. It worked for about two minutes, before she felt Yellow nuzzle against her. “What– what is it.”
“You- You’re so pretty, Blue…” Yellow stammered, face flushing a bit. “Has anyone ever told you that? You really are.”
“You remind me a lot. Just this morning, you reminded me again, and the day before, and before that…” Blue rambled for a minute before looking down and seeing Yellow staring at him like he was the only girl in the Outernet. “Are you even listening, nerd?”
“...Nah, not really.” Yellow admitted, moving just a bit to kiss Blue’s cheek. She didn’t really know how to flirt or initiate anything, so she just hoped that would work.
Blue took that just how Yellow wanted her to, grabbing Yellow’s waist and pulling her closer and kissing her forehead. Yellow nearly growled, and wrapped her arms around Blue, leaning up to actually kiss him.
Blue held her close and kissed back, one hand moving to run through Yellow’s hair and grip it when Yellow damn near forgot that she needed to breathe, pulling Yellow back so she wouldn’t suffocate or something. “Breathe, idiot. You’ve still got lungs.”
Yellow paused before actually listening, breathing just so that Blue would let go and let her kiss him again. Blue sighs and ends up letting go, just like Yellow wanted, and Yellow immediately is back on her; but this time, thankfully, not kissing him like she’s trying to suck his tongue out.
Instead, she’s sucking on his neck, probably leaving marks that everyone would end up seeing tomorrow, because god knows that Blue can’t do make-up for shit, and neither can Yellow. And Blue was not going to classes in a turtleneck — he didn’t own one, nor would he wear one if he owned one. They were so uncomfortable–
Blue snapped back to reality when Yellow started biting her neck like she was trying to eat her alive, and she had to grab her hair again. “Hey, hey– calm down, dude.” Blue quickly said, holding Yellow back.
“What– what’d I do this time…” Yellow muttered with a whine.
“Don’t get whiny on me. Just stop trying to eat me alive, nerd. I’m not food.” Blue rolled his eyes, moving to just hold Yellow’s face instead of pulling her hair. Yellow still looked out of it, like before. “Jesus, dude, I’m not letting you have an edible again. You look so out of it.”
“I’m fine… Just a little bit high. Is that- is that such a crime?” Yellow stuttered, getting a bit sassy. She didn’t try to maul Blue again though, just looking up at him.
“I think you should just take a nap.” Blue sighed. She knew that she couldn’t handle it if Yellow tried to eat her alive again. She had gotten a bit cocky and thought she could when they started, but it was clear that Yellow wasn’t really processing that she was actually biting at all. “I’ll be here when you wake up, okay?”
He didn’t get a reply before Yellow was passed out, and he had to move Yellow so that she wasn’t face-first in his boobs. He didn’t doubt that she wouldn’t mind waking up like that, but it was hard to fall asleep like that.
