The compliment, being called awesome, gave Matthew a warm, nervous feeling he couldn't quite explain and it pulled a lopsided smile onto his face. He waved it off with a flap of his hand as he headed for the chairs, digging out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket before he flopped down into it. The metal legs creaked, but held, and he sprawled as only a lanky boy growing into his limbs could.
He shoved a cigarette between his lips as he watched Benji at the edge of the building and he squinted with a more mischevious cast to his smile.
"Aw, already so attached to me?" He teased back as he lit his cig. A puff of smoke fogged the air as he relaxed back, pack and lighter dangling. "But naw, I gotta. Can't help it. Da's not got anyone else to take care of the place when Laney isn't there, so its up to me. I'm used to it though, and it won't be forever. I'll probably quit when I go to college... if I go. Who knows. But things change. Always do."
Whether for good or bad was subjective, probably.
"I'm sure you can entertain yourself while I'm gone."

"Oh, you know it. How could anyone NOT be attached to that mullet of yours?" Benji teased again, though he felt his smile waver a bit. So this was goodbye. Who knew when they would see each other again? With the way life was, it wasn't even an impossibility that either of them would be randomly killed one of these days
"Yeah, alright, I gotcha..." His voice became surprisingly song, and his own pocket vibrated with his cellphone, and he knew that it was his tiger of a mom demanding to know where he was and if he had taken his medicine or a number of other bullshit things she cared way too much about. Honestly, he just wanted to stay here, like this, with someone who he thought of as a friend for just a good long while. Gods knew he didn't have many of them.
"Hey, Ace, I--" The phone in his pocket vibrated angrily a few more times and he let out a frustrated groan before pulling it out. "********..."
He was right, it WAS his mom. And he DID forget that he had a doctor's appointment today. She probably was right, that he'd lose the ******** eye one of these days.
"Looks like our times over now, huh? I gotta get home before my mom decides that I need two ******** up eyes instead of one. " Finally turning around from the rooftop's edge, he looked back at Matthew with a half smile. "Thanks for hanging out with a weirdo like me for a bit. Hopefully the next time we do it it'll be when we both aren't shirking off things. And maybe next time you won't have to hold back with your running, I'll be in tip-top shape, just you wait. Just you wait..."
He began to head back the way they had come, feeling a weird heaviness in his chest. Damn, this just sucked...
"I'll see you later, Matthew. Don't stay out too long."
Whimsical Blue And that's a fin for me~ Thank you so much!
