Ink runs out

Chapter 3) 5'2"

POV SWITCH

His hands were small, I think I could wrap my hand around his fist. He was also very cold, I'm glad I gave him my jacket. He looked adorable in it. I wanted to break the silence but I was sure he wasn't interested in speaking. I wonder why he was out and sleeping on the streets he looked kinda young. OH SHIT I COULD BE KIDNAPPING SOMEONE AND NOT EVEN KNOW FUCK FUCK.

"uh.. how old are you?" I asked nervously.

"18.. it was my birthday yesterday"

"Do you have any proof?"

He dug in his small bag "I have this license"

I grabbed it. I guess he wasn't lying. I looked at it more thoroughly.

"5'2" I chuckled.

He snatched it back quickly

"shut the fuck up" he mumbled quietly while putting it back in his wallet. He pulled his hand away. That was cold, but I guess he's insecure about his height. I felt bad.

"Hey Ale, I'm sorry" I said turning to him.

"Just forget about it" he said coldly while facing away.

I can't be upset at him maybe he got kicked out? Or maybe he got wasted and didn't know his way home? I don't know, all I know is that he's sick. I want to do my best to make him feel better.

I ghosted my hand over his hand to see if he would have a bad reaction. He didn't. I slowly reached toward his hand with mine, he didn't pull away. I kept going until I held one finger, then two, and so on. He's warming up to me. It was such a nice feeling to know that he didn't mind. While his hands were small they were kinda rough. I'll moisturize them when we go to my place.

I've never really rode with anyone on the bus, I usually go alone. I felt something weird, is there an earthquake? Oh shit it's him, he's shaking a lot. I leaned in and heard him quietly sobbing. Oh fuck what do I do?

"Hey Ale, what's wrong" I said softly so I don't spook him

There was no response, but he gripped my hand even tighter than before. I knew something wasn't right, so I repeated myself once again.

"Nothing. Please stop asking" he said nearly choking on his tears.

He held my hand tighter and leaned in. At that point he was holding my whole arm. His head was on my shoulder and eventually he stopped shaking. I was gonna ask him something, but as soon as I opened my mouth I heard a little snore. He was fast asleep. We'd be at my place soon
