"Aceeeeeeeeee, where the FUCK are you taking meeeeee!" I groaned, practically being dragged out the car by the freckled boy.
"You need to get out that damn house! And I know exactly where to go!" He grinned. I hate to admit it but he was right. I've been in such a stressful state that spiraled me. The only time I left my house was to grab deliveries, mostly food or my dealer. It's been the same thing everyday. Wake up at 9, stare at a wall, smoke and keep at it till its 5am and I pass out from exhaustion. It was unhealthy, I know that, but I didn't care much. As quirky as I sound, I don't really understand the point in life. Just to go to school, to get in student debt so you have something to pay for until you retire, but by that time you're too old to enjoy life.
Lost in thought, I hadn't notice Ace had stopped and stood me up next to him, swinging his arm around my shoulders.
"Here we are!" He gestured towards the large house. It was Luffy's estate, I knew that much. He can only afford the house because he lives with his entire friend group who all go to the same college only 30 minutes away.
"What are we doin at your lil brother's place.." I sighed, looking up at Ace just to see a smirk curling on his face." Well I of course need a date to a party!" He chuckled. I rolled my eyes, giving him a slightly smile." I'm a bit too out of your league, sorry~" I chuckled as he pouted." Sure, the point is I needed a reason to get you out and it just so happens my brother invited all his friends for a party just because he won a soccer game!" He laughed, pushing me into the house. As soon as we entered, everyone there waved and quickly greeted us before returning to whatever they were doing.
"(Y/n)!!!!"
Oh no...
I fell to the floor, feeling someone on top of me. I groaned, not needing to even look at the person at fault to know.
"Hey, Luffy, how're you.." I grimaced a bit when Luffy quickly brought me into a bear hug that could've killed me." I'm great!" He chuckled." There's lots of food!" I rolled my eyes, slowly pushing him off and standing back up with him." Thank you.." I paused, my mind immediately telling me to shut up, or I'll have to conversate more. Not even a second later, Luffy was gone, busy greeting Ace.
As lively as the party was, I just wanted to go home for a smoke. I had already grown accustomed to staring at a wall for entertainment, and now parties don't feel like an environment I want to be in. While everyone was preoccupied cheering on Zoro and Sanji during a drinking contest, I slipped to the backyard of the house. There was, to my surprise, no one back here, probably a bit too hyped to see the green bastard and curly brows. I stood there, watching from outside until I got bored. I walked towards the old grill that looked like it's been burned a couple of times, looking around it, hoping to find a lighter. I smuggled a joint into my pocket before Ace dragged me here, and I'm glad I did, but my only issue was a light.
"Oi, the fuck are you doin'?"
I jumped, hitting my head against the grill." God fuckin-the fuck you want?" I growled, glancing behind me to see a redhead I've never met before. Luffy reaaaally had a habit of befriending anyone.
"I asked a question, the fuck are you doin'." He scoffed, approaching me and shutting the sliding door behind him. I'm surprised I didn't hear that loud thing when he opened it..
"Im just looking for a lighter, nothing of importance to you, now get off my dick.." I huffed, rubbing my head and continuing my search.
Clink
I widened my eyes, fully turning around to see a bright flame in front of me.
"Hurry the fuck up.." he scowled.
I took out my joint, putting it up to the lighter he held, puffing a bit before inhaling the smoke." Thanks.." I muttered as I exhaled." What are YOU doing? Everyone is pretty busy watching 2 dumbasses get drunk, who'd every pass that up?" I chuckled, but his face kept an angered look. It's like he was born with it." I don't want to be here. And you're passing it up as well, so you aren't one to talk." The redhead took out his own cig and lit it." Ew, nicotine, imagine having black lungs.." I snickered, making my way to the tree that stood by the garden of flowers. Usopp doesn't look it, but he has a green thumb for sure.
"Oh shut the fuck up, I do what I want." I could he was getting agitated and it was very enjoyable." Mk, sir black lungs.." I sat under the tree, facing the flowers that sprouted leaves and vines across the fence wall.
"You fuckin-"
"Kid!!"
I raised a brow, looking over my shoulder to see a hot bodied blonde guy come out the house, trying to calm the redhead down.
"Remember where you are and who you're talking to dumbass." The blonde scolded, making Kid scoff at him." Even if she doesn't care, she's close with Luffy and his brothers, don't escalate anything out of proportion..." that made Kid frown." Tsk, a woman isn't worth fighting with anyways.." I widened my eyes, feeling a pit in my stomach. I'll regret this, I'm so sorry you can't take me anywhere Ace..
I bit down on my joint, running up to Kid, grabbing him by his collar, my leg slamming against his foot, sliding past it, making him fall. I smirked, finally throwing him over my shoulder and slammed him into the ground, his face stunned." Don't EVER think that about me again...Kid." I didn't think I still had it in me. The blonde from before just stood beside me, obviously shocked, even though he was masked and I couldn't see his face." She wouldn't be Luffy's friend without knowing how to fight..." he mumbled, the redhead only groaning in response. I hope he's not dead." I'm sorry, I'm Killer, Kid is just a bit much tonight. He's had a rough...time? I thought this party mightve lightened him up a bit but obviously not..." he trailed off, looking at his friend who was busy groaning instead of paying attention to the conversation." It's fine, he isn't that bad, he gave me a light!" I grinned. I grinned..
"Well, I apologize on his behalf, I promise you he's better than this, if you'll excuse us.." he went to swing Kid over his shoulder." Please don't be, I was the one who engaged!" I chuckled. I chuckled.....
"Do you need help?" I asked." Maybe with just opening my truck door? If you don't mind." He shrugged. I nodded leading him back into the house to leave out the front. As we walked to the door, I noticed that the party was still as energetic as it was from when I entered. I also saw a glimpse of Ace, shirtless, singing in the living room with a giant group of people. I laughed to myself, following Killer from behind.
As soon as we reached the front, Killer instructed me to take the keys out his jackets pocket and unlock the truck. I did as told and Killer shoved Kid into the passenger seat." Thank you very much." I could hear him smile." It's not an issue, but could I actually ask a favor?" I tilted my head, hoping he'd agree. He nodded, waiting for me to go on.
"Could I get a ride back home?" I asked.
