Better Than Drugs - Dabi x Reader

Chapter 9

I kept glancing at the speedometer. I left like I was driving so fast, but I was going the speed limit. At least I'm driving straight. At least I think I am.

I looked over to my left and saw a cop car sitting in a parking lot, facing the road. I mentally started screaming and the ability to concentrate on the road was gone. I faced the road and stared straight ahead.

My heart was beating out of my chest. My anxiety was high and I just wanted to get home. I have another five minutes before I make it home. This made me start crying. The thought of being home and eating so much food along with the fear of being pulled over while being high sent me over the edge.

I drove past the officer and looked at my side mirror. The car didn't move. It sat there and I let out a sigh of relief. I finally made it back home and cleaned myself up in my car. My stomach growled. I was still so hungry and I couldn't wait to eat.

I turned off my car and got out, locking it in the process. I walked up the stairs of the apartment complex and stood in front of the door. I didn't realize how fast I got here... if I even got here that fast. I unlocked the door and walked into the apartment.

I looked around and didn't see Zion. I closed the door behind me and walked to my room. I closed the door and locked it. I took my clothes off and threw them in the hamper. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

Everything was moving so fast yet so slow. I started to feel nauses. I don't know what this feeling is, but I didn't feel like this was before I smoked more. Maybe I'm that high. What the hell is this called?

I pulled out my phone and texted Dabi.

'Everything is moving so fast yet so slow. I didn't feel like this until I smoked more.'

My body was really relaxed and I couldn't feel my legs. I sat on my bed and laid back. I closed my eyes and let the feeling caress me. This felt so good. I didn't want this to stop. My phone went off, but I didn't bother to grab it. I was naked on my bed.

I didn't realize how soft my sheets were. My mattress was hella comfy. I put my hands on my tummy and rubbed gently. My skin was so soft, too. Has human skin always been this soft?

I felt all the baby hairs on my skin. It wasn't bad. It was kind of reassuring that I have hair basically all over my body. There's no need to be insecure about it. It's a nice feature that people have.

There was a knock on my door.

"I'm changing!" I hollered.

"Okay, I'm gonna set up the snacks and the movie," Zion said through the door.

Suddenly, I remembered I had the shower on. I got up lazily and got in the shower. The warm water over my body made everything feel better. God, I felt euphoric. I should get myself some weed whenever Dabi doesn't have any.

The smell of weed sucks ass and it's potent as hell, but I know they sell weed jars. I think I saw some at this store called Spencer's. I'll have to go there and buy myself one. I just realized my thoughts are everywhere again.

Oh well.

I must have been in the shower for a long ass time because the water started getting cold. I turned off the shower and grabbed the towel that was hanging to the side. I dried myself off and made my over to my dresser. I grabbed a pair of red plaid shorts and a Folie à Deux t-shirt.

I put my hair up in a towel and walked out of my room. Everything started to seem to go at a normal pace now. I still felt high, but time seemed stable again. I looked at the coffee table and it was full of food.

A full bowl of popcorn, a bowl of Hot Cheetos, a smaller bowl of M&M's, a jar of Nutella with two spoons next to it, and two Arizona teas. I almost started drooling at the sight and my stomach growled. I'm so hungry. I swallowed and didn't feel anything. My mouth felt unbelievably dry.

I grabbed one of the Arizona teas and started chugging it. I finished half of it before putting the can down. I sat on the couch and grabbed my blanket.

Zion and I have our own blankets whenever we're in the living room together. It's the same fluffy blanket, but her's is green and mine is black.

"You were in your room for a long time," Zion said.

"I wanted to take a shower instead of just changing," I said.

Zion sat down next to me and wrapped her blanket around herself. She grabbed the bowl of popcorn and the remote. She turned on the tv and changed the channel to Disney+. She scrolled through the movies and found Tangled.

She pressed play and we started watching the movie. I looked at the food on the table and grabbed the Hot Cheetos and the jar of Nutella. I opened the cap and grabbed a Cheeto. I dipped the chip into the chocolate paste and ate it.

Holy fuck this is good.

I couldn't help myself. I ate more. My fingers were lightly covered in dust and Nutella. Zion looked over at me and gave a disgusted look.

"What the hell are you eating?" She asked.

"Nutella and Hot Cheetos. You should actually try it." I grabbed a chip and lightly dipped it into the Nutella. I handed the chip over to her and she grabbed it. Zion looked at it, a confused and disgusted look on her face. She popped it into her mouth and started chewing.

Her face changed from disgust to surprise. "That's surprisingly really good. How did you come up with this?"

Because I'm high. "I don't know. I got curious."

"Give me another." I handed her another one and she gladly ate it.

We watched the movie. We were singing, laughing, and enjoying the time we have together. Halfway through the movie, my phone went off. I heard it coming from my room and I got up. I walked in and looked at who was calling.

Hawks.

I answered the phone and put it up to my ear. "What's up?"

"Hey, are you home?"

"Yeah, I am. Why do you ask?"

"No reason. How was your dinner with him?"

"It was pretty good. I'm gonna have to go again." I smiled.

Hawks got a bit quiet over the phone. "Did you go back to his place?"

"Yeah. Why are you asking so many questions?" I asked.

"I'm looking out for you. I don't like that you're getting involved with him, but it seems like he's making you happy so far." Hawks said.

"Thank you, Hawks. I'm watching a movie with Zion right now. We can talk tomorrow if you want."

"That's right. I forgot you were doing that when you got home. Alright, well I'll leave ya to it. Have a good night, Y/N." He said.

"Good night, Hawks." I hung up. I looked if I had any other notifications on my phone. I saw a text from Dabi from earlier.

'It's called Greening Out. It didn't seem to hit you that hard though. Don't smoke so much next time.'

I put my phone back on my bed and headed back over to the living room. Zion was still watching the movie. I grabbed my blanket and wrapped it around myself again. I sat on the couch and grabbed the bowl of popcorn from Zion.

"Who called you?"

"Hawks did. He asked if I got home safe."

"That's nice of him."

I nodded and continued with the movie. To be entirely honest, I still feel hella tired. My body became a bit sore from how exhausted I am. I've been forcing my eyes to stay open this whole time.

I don't remember what happened, but I ended up falling asleep on the couch. The weed mixed with all the food put me to sleep real quick. Oh, and one last thing.

I'm going to that frat party on Friday.
