Thankful for the cigarette, trying not to think about the way he can taste Vasquez on the end of it, or imagining that at least, but as he goes to really enjoy it, Vasquez starts talking.
Slowly his mouth starts to fall open, and before he can blink the cigarette starts to topple from his mouth. Reflex has him grabbing for it, catching it so that the ember burns the side of his finger.
"Son of a bitch," he growls, but that now scowling expression is all for Vasquez. "You're not even funny, you know that? A year? It's been a year, I think," he mocks in that crappy accent, rolling his eyes. He starts to turn away and then turns back, face red and screwed up with emotions he's not even sure he could name.
"I get it. I messed up. I don't know how, but I failed you and the others. I get it but you don't gotta make fun of me. Maybe I deserve to be punished for it. I accept that but be fucking mad, hit me, but don't make fun of me."
God but that has him riled up and hating the way his chest tightens as he shakes his head, flicking the cigarette at Vasquez. He goes calling him that name that he actually likes hearing from him, and then makes fun of him. Fucking hell but it hurts.
