TW: There will be mentions of drugs in this chapter.
I open my eyes as I hear my alarm going off, seeing I am snuggled in his chest. A smile creeps on my face as I feel his grip on my waist tightening.
"Turn off that shit, would you? I'm fucking tired" He groans. I turn around, doing as he says and then I get up. "Where are you going, it's too early" He whines and holds his arm out in the air trying to find mine and I giggle watching him. Sometimes, he's just too childish.
"You know," I say as I make my way to the bathroom, "This was fine while we were in my house but it's different here"
"What do you mean?" He says hugging the pillow I layed my head on. "People are gonna start talking. They'll think we're hooking up or something" I look at him and his eyes shoot open. he gets up in one swift move and he comes next to me as I finish washing my face. "What?" I ask and he just looks at me.
"I thought...nevermind" He sighs. I stare at him from behind, going back towards my bed and checking his phone. "I should probably go get ready" He shakes his head, as if he's trying to dismiss his own thoughts.
"No, Katsuki, I...you can tell me?" I don't want him to leave yet, even if class starts in 20 minutes and none of us is wearing our uniforms. "It's stupid" He puts on his shirt. I stare at him dumbfounded "Please?"
A sigh escapes his mouth. "We will talk about this later, I got to go" He leaves without another word.
I don't understand. I just made a joke, why did he get so upset? He is not the type to get upset. I try to stop my thoughts from wandering back to him and get ready for class as fast as I can.

"Good morning, Y/n!" Mina shouts from behind me. I turn around to greet her, our classroom a couple of steps ahead of us. "Hey Mina. Why are you so chirpy today?"
"Well..." She puts her arms behind her back and starts moving around, not looking me in the eyes for a long minute. I raise my eyebrows, "Well?" I ask, starting to get irritated. "I was wondering if you wanted to skip with me..." She blurts out quickly, giving me her best puppy eyes.
"You want to...skip?" I chuckle, "You could have started with that. Who's gonna cover for us?" I readjust my backpack on my arm, thankful that I didn't put too much in it today. "Yao-momo" Mina replies and types away a text on her phone.
"You can't tell anyone, but..." She motions for me to get closer as she whispers her next words "We have found a secret place" I lean in closer to her "What is it?"
"The boys will meet us there. Ooh! I have a little surprise. Well, Sero has it, but it was my idea to invite you! Anyway, you get it. Let's go!"
It was her idea to invite me to their little group? My heart does a little flip. This could really become my home.
She smiles and makes her way to the staircase leading to the school's roof. I shake my head and follow behind her, as if this is the first time I've skipped class and went on the roof.
We both laugh telling stupid jokes and we come to a hault once we reach the door, leading us to our destination. "Y/n, I present to you...the roof!" Mina is too excited so I decide not to ruin it for her. For now, at least.
I walk in front of her and see the boys having set up some beach chairs, positioned to look towards the forest behind the school. Sero is sitting in the corner by himself, counting something. I've actually never seen him this focused. It's normal, it's not like we hung out all the time or something. With that in mind, I decide to approach him.
"Hey" I say and sit down next to him. He nods, continuing his counting. I look around. I haven't been up here in a while. The scenery is just so pretty. It's still early so the sun hasn't come up yet. The light breeze makes for the perfect temparature, not too hot but no too cold, just somewhere in the middle. It's really quiet. I like it.
"What are you doing?" I ask Sero, itching closer to him. "How many of us are there?" He looks up at me and I glance around. There is Mina chatting with Kaminari, Sero and I in this corner and-
"Hey guys, sorry we're late" The door swings open scaring the living shit out of me. Kirishima and Katsuki come outside with the rest of us.
"Six" I tell Sero and turn towards the guys "Hi guys" I greet and Kirishima greets me back, all the while Katsuki just ignores me and mutters something under his breath. What could he even be mad about? I don't think I said something wrong just half an hour ago, but we were fine at night. Maybe I should talk to him about this.
Sero nods at my response and he takes out a little baggie. "What's that?" I ask him and he looks at me, amusement in his eyes. I look closer and the baggie has...leafs inside it? Oh god...
"This, Y/n," Sero says, holding it up so I can take a better look and now, I can see clearly what it is.
"It is weed" Sero finishes with a chuckle. "SURPRISE!" Mina shouts, hugging me from behind. I look at them. Are they really serious about this?
With the corner of my eye, I catch Katsuki staring, his eyebrows furrowed and fumes coming out of his head. A wicked smile plasters on my face. Mina sees my reaction and she points to the bag Kirishima just put down. "We also got beer for those who don't wanna smoke".
"Smoking weed is not very manly. But it is fun sometimes. Just not at eight-thirty in the morning" He shrugs his shoulders, opening a beer bottle using his quirk, hardening. Katsuki takes a beer and tears the bottle cup off with ease. He chugs half the thing down and then looks me right in the eye. Two can play this game.
"I wanna try some" I tell Sero and Mina cheers while Kaminari and Kirishima are lost in a conversation of their own. Sero rolls a joint up and lights it, taking a puff. He then hands it to me and I take it and put it close to my lips. I haven't done this before and I don't know how it could go. The only person I completely trust here is Katsuki but he is mad at me already, I shouldn't provoke him any further. But then again, this could be good, right?
I close my eyes and as I am about to breathe in and let the smoke fill my lungs, the joint is tossed away from my fingers.
I open my eyes to complain when I see Katsuki sliding his sole around, crushing the joint. "That is fucking enough. We're leaving"
"What?!" I exclaim and he grabs my shoulder and pulls me up. I look at the others and they all have the same look on their faces; sympathetic, apologetic and making me feel fucking pathetic.
Katsuki pulls me away from the roof and down the stairs, into an empty classroom. He looks around and closes the door, before letting my arm out of his grip.
"What is the matter with you?" I shout at him. "I am a big girl and I can make decisions for myself. I'm not a fucking kid, so stop treating me like one"
"You don't fucking get it, do you?" He shouts back. "You are not safe. You need to focus on being able to defend yourself"
I take a step towards him. "I CAN defend myself in battle and I have proven that a thousand times over!" Tears threaten to roll down my eyes but I don't let them. Not now. "Not in hand combat" He says and surprises me with a sneak attack right in front of me. He pins me on the ground and hovers over me.
"You need to practice, you can't be skipping class to smoke weed. Weed, Y/n. Have you thought this through? She will make a move soon. She came to see me and that means our time is running out and I can't always be there to save your ass!" He says in one breath. I try to escape his grip, his words cutting me like daggers. "Let me go, let me go!" I say repeatedly until he does, falling down next to me.
What was I thinking? How could smoking weed do me any good? Why am I so fucking stupid? If he hadn't stopped me, things could have gone very bad for all of us. What if there was a villain attack and I was high?
Katsuki is right. I need to train more. I need to be prepared. She will strike. She fucking seeked him out. She saw him. My devil of a mother met the one person I truly care about. She could get in his head at any minute now. He is not safe. None of us are safe. I have to do something, anything to keep her away.
He wraps me in his arms and I immediately snuggle in him, not able to hold it in anymore. I let the overdue tears finally fall.
