"Oh yeah, figures, since it's technically the past and all..."Diego said thoughtfully. He didn't yet know many details about this world's history, but it wasn't a crazy assumption that during the time period where Eric's world was the tolerance on drugs was pretty low.
"It wasn't really a big deal at all back in the good ol' Halcyon."
Diego said with a small shrug, in the area he grew up on weed was almost the norm, and it wasn't surprising. Many wanted to try and escape the kind of life they had had there.
Diego felt bit more relaxed after some more casual banter, and the mention of Eric's girlfriend just now had been pretty brief so it didn't start bugging Diego excessively. He flew closer to Eric, taking a pillow and his cheetos with him, and landed close enough so Eric wouldn't have to get up to pass the joint. But when the guy did pass the joint he asked about Diego's nervousness, and all Diego could think was "Fuck, he noticed?"
"Nervous? Nah, I'm all good. And if I seem that then this is probably gonna help with that."
Diego wiggled the joint a bit, and then took a puff, a deep one. Now he definitely needed to get at least a bit high so Eric wouldn't suspect anything more. The last thing Diego wanted was Eric knowing that he had a small crush on the guy.
"Oh yeah, that hits the spot."
Diego said and blew some smoke out of his nose. That was something he had learned just for showing off purposes. After few more short puffs Diego passed the joint back to Eric with a small grin.
"Now to just wait for the sweet release, amirite?"
Diego cackled a bit and lay down on his back with a pillow under his head.
