30 days.
Under the willow tree, Niou and Marui pass a cigarette back and forth. Marui blows his smoke into Niou's face and Niou puts his into Marui's mouth.
"My mom's getting mad at me for smoking," Marui says against Niou's lips. Their lips stick and move together, tugging and pulling in unison to each syllable.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"You should quit. These things will kill you. I heard lung cancer's a killer."
Marui smiles and threads a hand into Niou's fake hair. He takes a drag and blows smoke into Niou's face. When it clears, Niou kisses him.
Come morning, they're still kissing.
