Better Than Drugs - Dabi x Reader

Chapter 7

Black bralette, dark blue jeans, and a pair of the typical adidas. I looked at myself in the mirror and fixed my hair a bit. Dabi said he wanted me to look good, and this is the most I'm going to look for him. If he doesn't like what he sees then sucks for him. I think I look pretty good. If he won't appreciate me then I'll just go to Hawks.

Speaking of Hawks, I pulled out my phone and FaceTimed him. I waited a few rings and he picked up the phone.

"Y/N! How are you?" He asked. His tone was cheerful, yet cool.

"I'm pretty good. I'm going out tonight with a friend."

"What are your plans with this friend? Do I know this person?"

Shit. Maybe I shouldn't tell him that I'm going out to Dabi's place to smoke weed for the first time. He already told me to not get near him, and I don't think he would be happy to hear I'm trying weed. It wouldn't hurt to tel him I'm going out with Dabi, right?

"Dabi invited me out to dinner."

Hawks bursted out laughing. "You're so funny, Y/N. Dabi would never invite a girl to dinner."

"And how would you know that?" I asked, a bit irritated, yet curious.

"Because it's Dabi. He's your typical bad boy. The only reason he's inviting you out to dinner is to get into your pants." He said, calming down and getting serious.

"He doesn't want to get into my pants. Besides, I'm not interested in him."

"Yeah okay. You don't know Dabi like I do," Hawks said. "He's not good for you."

"Then who's good for me? I haven't come across a single person that has treated me like I mean something to them. Maybe a fuck buddy is what I need."

Hawks shook his head and propped his phone up on his kitchen counter and walked around his kitchen. He pulled out ingredients from his refrigerator and set it on the counter. "I'll take you on a date. I mean, we technically went on one together about a week ago."

"You considered that a date?"

"I'm hurt that you didn't think it was, Y/N," He said, a joking tone lingering in his words.

"You're great and everything, but I still don't know you that well. And I'm emotionally unavailable." I reminded him.

"I don't think you're emotionally unavailable. I think you're scared to get into another relationship. You told me about your last three exes and it's been bad relationships one after another. You don't know what it's like to experience a healthy relationship."

I was stunned. I never thought of it like that. He's completely right. I'm terrified to get into another relationship. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve anymore and I hate being vulnerable. Love is the scariest and most confusing thing to exist in the world. I don't want to experience it again.

"Then let's be fuck buddies. I don't mind having that kind of relationship since feelings are attached." I said.

I don't know if I'm joking or not. I want to say I am, but I'm one horny motherfucker. My libido is really high and there's only so much smut I can read before I'm not satisfied. Having a hoe phase wasn't my thing and it will never be my thing, but having a fuck buddy doesn't sound so bad.

"Are you sure you want that? I mean, I don't have a problem with it. I just don't want it to affect the friendship we have." Hawks said.

The options are given to me. Do I continue having a good friendship with Hawks or become fuck buddies and risk losing the friendship? I don't want to lose him. He's already been a big help despite only knowing each other for a week. Alright, I've made my decision.
