Better Than Drugs - Dabi x Reader

Chapter 12

Y/N's POV

"Y/N, it's one in the afternoon. You gotta get up."

I stirred in the bedsheets and put the pillow over my head. I pulled the sheets up so I was extra protected from whoever was waking me up. The blankets got ripped off of me and I groaned from the lack of warmth.

"I know it's a Saturday, but it's late and you need to get up." Hawks said.

Hawks? What the hell?

I peaked from under the pillow and saw Hawks standing in front of me. He leaned down close to my face and smiled at me. I smiled back and turned my face away from him.

"Good morning. You slept for a long time," He said.

I took the pillow off my head and sat up. Taking in my surroundings, I knew I wasn't home. The bedsheets were white with a tan cover. The pillows were also tan. I assumed I was in Hawks' room.

Wait, but wasn't I at the party?

"Where am I?" I asked.

"You're at my place." Hawks said.

I quickly looked down at myself and saw I was still in my clothes from yesterday. Well, I think I was wearing these yesterday. I don't remember how my day went yesterday. I remember going to the party, meeting that girl again, and popping the xanny. Every memory I had from yesterday disappeared.

I remembered one other thing. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and looked through my contacts. I saw a new contact with the name Giran. I had no idea who this person was except that he was a dealer.

"What did you do last night?" Hawks asked.

Shit. What do I tell him? Maybe I could bullshit and tell him I didn't take a Xanax.

"I went to a party with Dabi last night," I said. I was half lying.

Hawks stared at me. It was like he didn't believe me. I don't need him knowing that I took Xanax last night.

"What else? Do you know why you're here at my place?" He asked.

"I had too much to drink and Dabi said he was going to take me to your place."

Hawks let out a sigh and rubbed his eyes. My heart started to rise. I wish I remembered everything. I wouldn't be here bullshitting my way through this conversation. I swear I feel like more questions are popping into my head than answers.

"Y/N, I know what happened last night. You don't need to lie to me," He reassured. "You went to a cabin party alone and you took Xanax."

I fell silent and I didn't want to say anything. I was caught in a lie. I don't want Hawks to go to Zion about this. I don't need her getting up my ass about this.

"Dabi brought you here after he picked you up from the party. We won't tell Zion anything about this, especially the whole thing you have with Dabi," Hawks said.

This weight came off my shoulders that none of this will be in Zion's knowledge. I really appreciate Hawks and Dabi. I'm so glad they're keeping quiet about this. Maybe I should talk with them about other things.

"How did you know I didn't want Zion to know about this?" I asked.

"Dabi and I know her personally. She can get pretty stubborn and protective of people. She's done it with me. She's doing it with you."

"What about Dabi? Has she done it with him?" I asked.

Hawks rubbed the back of his neck swayed in his spot for a bit. "Actually, Zion hated Dabi because of me. I tried to be all friendly with him at first, but we got to see each other's true colors and it was bad from there on out."
