"it's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad."
"Honey, don't you love me and you know it makes me sad."
"It's just a cigarette like you always used to do."
"I was different then, I don't need them to be 'cool'. "Tomura took his jacket and went outside, closing the doors behind him. League was loud today and their boss couldn't seem to stand them. Toga was alway screaming and yelling while Twice was arguing with his other side. Nobody could just shut up and drink something?
Cold wind slowly pushed Tomura's hair off his face. It was Autumn and it was quiet windy. The park bluenette went was covered with yellow, orange and red leaves. It wasn't a special place but it took place away from the town so not many people went there. He made his way to his usual bench next to the small river. Pushing some leaves that fell down on the bench he took out the cigarette box, lighting one. Recently he has been going here a lot. It helped him with stress. Nobody really knew about this, and he hoped the league would never find out but here we are. Dropping the cigarette on the floor, the last flame from it disappeared. Smoke was lifting from it in the air, making the male cough. Shigaraki walked to the bar again, closing the doors behind him. I suppose it was quiet loud because Toga and Dabi turned around. The trio locked their eyes but Tomura walked to his room wordlessly. He could hear some footsteps but he ignored them and walked to his room, closing the doors and locking them. Not long after, there was a knock. The leader panicked, there was still smell of smoke on his clothes.
"What?"
"Tomura! Where were you?"
It was Toga's pitchy voice. It gave him headache.
"Outside."
"Where?'
"Go away."
Footstpes were heard and he could hear the yelling downstairs. Tomura took off his clothes and placed them in the washer. Soon after going in the bath. After showering he fell on the bed. Sighingly, he fell asleep.
Next day was hell. For Tomura at last. Toga was screaming on Spinner while he was yelling. Dabi wasn't in the hideout and Twice accidentally broke his face mask. Shigaraki mentally slapped himself and walked out. He needed air, a lot of air. He took his coat again and went to well known location. He sat on the same bench lighting forsth cigarette today. He knew it wasn't good but if it helps even for a bit, he's taking it. Shigaraki was just about to take another one when he felt somebody watching him. He turned around and saw nothing. He took his lighter but somebody grabbed him hand. Tomura flinched and dropped the box of cigarettes on the floor. Figure that was holding his hand stepped in front. It was Dabi. Dabi with angry face. He looked at Tomura and stepped on the cigarette package on the floor. His leader gasped and looked at him.
"Those were new!"
"Stop smoking."
"You can smoke, why can't I?! After all, I make my own decisions!"
"You will die, don't you read the text on them?"
"Do you think I don't?"
"I stopped smoking and you know it."
"Come on, it's just a cigarette!"
"And it's dangerous!"
"No it isn't."
Dabi sat down next to him and looked down. He took an unused cigarette from Tomura's hand and he lighted it with his flames.
"What are you doing?!"
Tomura said and took it from black haired male's mouth, dropping it on the floor. It was silence for a bit, until Dabi spoke.
"Now you see how it is."
"Just shut up.."
There was silence again. It was a comfortable silence though. Like being with a friend. Except they weren't friends. It was all messed up. From Dabi's insulting to Tomura's wishes and threats to kill him.
"Will you stop smoking?"
The other finally started a small talk, now locking look with his leader's.
"Sure.."
It sounded unsure. That's what bugged the fire user.
"I'll check the progress, y'know. You're not so trustworthy."
"Don'ttttt"
Heh, silence again. Neither of them was talkative or social so this whole experience was a new level for both.
"I'll help you."
"Why?"
"Because I know it's hard when you do it alone.."Two 'scary' villains made their way to the league. Ignoring Toga and the rest who were question everything. Dabi would usually stay and say something like 'fuck off' or 'how is that your business' but he saw panic on Tomura's face. So they just walked off.
Within' next few months Tomura was fully healed. Being addictive to something is hard to solve. It has been a painfully long process that went shorter in Shigaraki's eyes. Because he wasn't alone.

Hi! Just wanted to say that this is a huge problem in the whole wide world. Please think of the pain you give to not just yourself but to your closest friends and family. Think twice before actions because it will cost you much. A friend of mine had a sister who was smoking and she sadly passes away few years ago. I don't even want to hear of smoking, I recommend the same to you!Bye! <3
