#but dale x rigo is life ok

This is excessively self-indulgent

Edit: Sure I'll add in the text I wound up putting in reblogs. I didn't think people would enjoy it as much as you all are - thank you, haha.

Rigo steals that cigarette from Dale and draws a lungful of smoke from it, just like he'd done when the two of them were young and stupid, sharing stolen cigarettes swiped from the corner store. Honestly, years ago that should have been his first clue, but then again, stupid and giddy together is how they always have been anyway, and -- oh, fuck it.

What do you want it to mean?

"I think, compa, I want to kiss you. Just not here."

Not in the bar, not in public. The words are practically whispered, and then Rigo puts the cigarette back in Dale's lips and smiles.
