lost // zavir + landon

zavirtmi:

Zavir left most of his thin weight against Landon, trying to focus on getting to the boy’s car. “What’s funny?” Zavir asked, furrowing his brows as he stumbled, trying to regain his balance before leaning into Landon. “S – Sorry…” he whispered, biting hard onto his bottom lip to try and supress his emotions. He was not going to cry, he told himself. “It’s, uhm – I just .. I don’t know,” was his response. He didn’t want to make excuses for wasting his night and his time acting like an idiot, and then above all having to have Landon save him from a fight that never should have happened. He was just not really in a good enough place to be trying to figure out why he was making the decisions he was.

Landon started rubbing his thumb in a small circle on Zavir’s side, turning his head and smiling at the other boy.  “It’s alright, I just made myself giggle with the tortoise and the hare reference.  I’m dumb, it’s alright.”  He reassured the boy, not wanting him to think he was laughing at Zavir.  “It’s alright that you don’t know why you’re here, sometimes I’ll wake up in the middle of my kitchen with a few empty GoGurt packets.  It’s traumatic and strange.”  He giggles, pulling the boy in closer to his own side.  He knew that the boy felt uncomfortable by the way he was acting, and Landon was trying his best to make sure that Zav didn’t start feeling embarrassed for this.
