THING I THOUGHT OF
This is in the spur of the moment and I need to write it down:
Oliver: You know smoking's bad for your health, right? You'll mess up your lungs.
Len: And? I don't need little choir boy preaching to me about health.
Oliver: Well...why wouldn't you want to keep yourself healthy? The Bible says that your body is a gift from God and that you shouldn't ruin it.
Len: Pff. God, huh? That's what this is?
Oliver: What about it?
Len: ...Well, the thing is, I don't believe in God. Don't have a reason to.
Oliver: You don't need a reason to believe.... You'll go to hell, my auntie says. That's why you gotta pray for Jesus to come and save your sinner's soul.
Len: Heh, that's a load of bull. Well, you and your auntie can do whatever you want. Leave me outta that whole God business, though.
Oliver: Then...won't you stop smoking for your own health? Don't you care?
Len: Why would I? You live, then you die. That's about it. Doesn't matter when you die; you can't stop it either way.
Oliver: B-but...don't you wanna live long? Grow up, have kids?
Len: Nah, that isn't my thing. I'd rather keep it short and just glide right through without trying. I don't have a reason to try anyway.
Oliver: W...what about me? Can I be your reason?
Len: Huh? Pff, that's quite the offer. Why'd you wanna be my reason? God telling you to do it?
Oliver: N-no.... It's just...I've seen you sitting back here every day during lunch and after school. You don't have friends, do you...?
Len: Wh.... That's none of your business....
Oliver: W-well...I'm willing to be your friend. If you want. After all, God says—
Len: Yeah, yeah, God says, God says. I don't wanna be pitied by a kid like you.
Oliver: B-but I really—!
Len: I said no already. I'm alright with being alone. Makes living shorter easier on the people around you. Never knew them, never longed for them, never cared to see them go.
Oliver: ...I-I'd care.... Why do you think your life isn't important...? You're human, aren't you?
Len: Of course, I'm not a sheep, can't you tell? Yeesh.
Oliver: W-well—! Then you should...at least start by cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke in a day. Getting over an addiction isn't easy....
Len: Why do you think I'd listen to you?
Oliver: W-well, um....
Len: You got nothing. Leave already, kid.
Oliver: ....
Oliver: *leaves*
Len: ....
Len: Hah.... Well, maybe just one less cigarette.
Koidesuu ;))))
