[ AND THEN THEY SMOKE A TON OF WEED AND GET REALLY HIGH.

And at some point, Merle's laying on the couch upside down, with his feet going up the back of it and his head hanging off the edge. He's idly scratching at his belly so that his shirt starts riding up. ]

Hey. Hey, I'm hungry. Whatchya got for grub in this place?

[h2no]

I got--

[archie is on the cough next to him, right way up, but staring at the ceiling.]

--Veggie stuff. Y'like... love plants, right? Do you eat them? Are you okay with that?

[extremeteenbible]

Oooooooh, yeah plants're good, if ya cook 'em up right.

[ Should either of them be using a stove in their condition, though? ]

[h2no]

[archie grunts in agreement and gets up, stumbling away.

fortunately, he doesn't think of the stove, instead coming back with a bag of kale chips he tosses at merle.]

Close enough.

[extremeteenbible]

[ Merle rips open a bag and upends it over his mouth, dumping a mountain of kale chips into his waiting maw. ]

UNNNNNGGGGHHH...

i lost this gomen

[h2no]

[he laughs his ass off when merle devours the packet, almost actually falling off the couch with how hard he's laughing.]

You horrible being! [archie chokes out between laughs.] What was that?!

THAT'S OK YOU FOUND IT ALL IS GOOD

[extremeteenbible]

[ Sorry, Archie, Merle's too busy choking to death on kale chips... And making a mess on your sofa. ]

[h2no]

[he watches this for a couple of moments, then realises he could do something to help. archie reaches over and rolls merle over.

great. amazing.]

[extremeteenbible]

[ Merle coughs and sputters and makes even more of a mess, but eventually he recovers his breath and just starts laughing. ]

Ahahahaha-- Hey! Those were good! You got any more?

[h2no]

Last bag, [he says with a shrug.

...


...



...] Hey, how'd you get them flowers in your beard an' shit? They look so cool!

[extremeteenbible]

Aw, bummer.

[ Merle just busies himself with picking up the spilled crumbs. ]

Oh, hey, yeah. I braid 'em in! Could probably do the same for you if you want.

[h2no]

Yessss!

[he rubs his beard, like he's got them in there already.]

W--wait. Is mine long enough?

[extremeteenbible]

[ This is the part where Merle scrambles over to Archie, grabs his face with both hands, turning his head this way and that to examine him from different angles, running his fingers appraisingly through Archie's beard.

Finally, seeming satisfied, he lets go. ]

Any beard is long enough if you try hard!

[h2no]

[he doesn't bother to try and fight this, just lets merle move him around like a doll. archie does puff his cheeks up lightly, though.]

D...Is that just a nice way of sayin' mine isn't long enough???

[extremeteenbible]

What?

[ Is it? Had he accidentally just crushed Archie's hopes and dreams?

He's too high for this. ]

Naaaaahhhh it's fine.

[h2no]

I can always grow it out...

[extremeteenbible]

It's fine! Did I not just say it's fine?

[ He grabs Archie's cheeks again, pulls his face up close, we're talking inches away. ]

It's fiiiiiiine

[ Forehead kiss. ]

[h2no]

Meeeeeeeerle!!

[he whines, like a kid whining about a parent embarrassing them. he slaps at merle's cheeks lightly, trying to push him off.]

Fine! Fine, okay, I believe you!!
