When the Days are Dark

Chapter 9

——————————

It's been days since your date with Bakugou. Every time the two of you crossed the path, he'd flash you a quick smile that no one else seemed to have seen before. You've seen him smile before, it was always wide and glistening. You may even say it was the brightest smile you've seen. But his eyes. His eyes never smiled either.

Not a glimpse of true happiness.

It was 10 pm and you were sitting in the backyard with Denki. Just sitting out under the stars, basking under the moonlight. Music softly playing in the background. "This scenario is kind of... romantic~" Denki sang, pushing his seat closer to yours. You pushed him away, making the blond fall out of his seat. "No, it's not."

he groaned and laid on the ground, "I'm starving," Denki whined, eating the last bit of chips you had out. "You shouldn't have smoked so much then," you said, beginning to scroll through your phone. He sighed.

"Wanna try it?" He asked, pulling out a small bag of weed and waving it around. You looked for a bit, contemplating whether or not you should agree. He saw the look on your face, deciding to throw in a few chants that would cue you into his high world.

Denki's eyes grew wide, anticipating your answer. Looking like a puppy ready for a walk. "Fine," you nodded. Denki smiled and happily rolled up a joint for the two of you to smoke. It didn't take long until Denki had the joint lit and ready, passing it to you so you could go first. "Be careful, or you'll choke.." He warned, giggling a bit. You rolled your eyes and put the end of the joint between your slightly parted lips.

You deeply inhaled and coughed out a large amount of smoke, wishing that you had heed Denki's warning. "Gawd damn-" you choked. Denki laughed and patted your back, "I told you to be careful," he said, taking the joint as it was now his turn.

You two spent around 20 minutes passing the joint to each other when the effect of the drug began to hit you. "Damn, I'm hungry," you complained. Denki grinned, "I know a place with great wings. Wanna go?"

You looked at him and laughed, no reason at all. He was just funny looking at the moment. "Sure,"

You and Denki walked into a building that played loud music, had colorful lights, and half-naked women everywhere. "Denki, this is a fucking strip club!" You yelled as he led you to a table. "What can I say? They have great wings?"He laughed, "How'd you even get in the first time? You're 17..."

"Fake ID" he answered.

"Figures," You mumbled. Denki went off to go get drinks and order food. You quietly sat alone and closed your eyes, zoning out.. tuning out the music that shook the building. Thoughts began to run through your mind. Nothing special, just random things you think of when there is nothing better to do than to sit around.

"Y/N!" Denki yelled getting your attention immediately. "Damn! What?" you said, thinking that he was in trouble but instead he handed you a glass of alcohol. "Try it. The bartender over there wanted you to have it for free," He explained. You looked over to see a tall, handsome man with black hair, and brown hair. He looked like what people would consider a pretty boy.

He was cleaning a glass with a dishrag while also looking at you. He smiled and winked when he noticed you were also looking at him. You turned away and looked at Denki, who was already looking at you with a smug smile.
