[ Not that harder shit's going to calm him down either, but - seems like an easy angle to spin, right? Innocent sixteen year old kid in over his head, trying to go hard and fuck himself up so he doesn't have to think about the situation he's in. If Tate finds out about the party - finds out that Michael wants to see people hurt and burn out, finds out that he asked Kavinsky to help him with that - well, he's got plausible deniability. He's just a dumb kid. Kav's the one providing everything.
Tate smiles a little and Michael smiles, genuinely just - light, and soft, and happy. For all his complicated feelings about him, it's fucking wonderful, seeing Tate smile. Even if it's not for his sake. ]
I don't want you to feel like you have to stick around. I was just gonna... take a handful of whatever and see what happens.
