TW! R*PE ATTEMPT!

**********************************************************************************************

Ryuko Tatsuma was having a party, and it was exclusive . She was Rumi's only close female friend, so, naturally, me and Keigo were invited as a package deal with her. Keigo passed every third year final with perfect scores, and his first 6 months as a Pro Hero had literally flown by; he was already climbing his way up in ratings and popularity with the public. At sixteen, he was the youngest Pro Hero ever, and everyone absolutely loved him. He had a crawling fanbase already, and it was almost sickly thrilling to know that he was all mine. Thankfully, P.H.T.A. taught three semesters year round per grade level, so I still had a place to live seeing as how I was still forbidden from going home. Rumi and I had become inseparable in our classes since Keigo graduated, but I'd barely passed our first second year semester finals. Keigo and I Facetimed each other every day, no matter how busy he was. He was genuine in his promise to make time for us. Hell, he even called me one time in the middle of a chase just so I could see what was happening.

Tonight was his first day off in a while, and the cool air whips through Rue and I's hair as Keigo lets us fly using some of his feathers. Keigo is in his Pro Hero uniform, which hasn't changed since he got his prototype last year. Rue is wearing a low cut off-the-shoulder white crop top and Daisy Dukes with black boots. I'm wearing ripped black skinny jeans with converse and a ripped white T-shirt with my black leather jacket and aviator shades. I probably look like the biggest asshole on the planet, but I don't care; I'm excited to finally let loose. It's been two years since I've been able to get my hands on any form of alcohol; I was only invited to one party my first year at the P.H.T.A. before I got held back. While I wasn't necessarily a party person, I definitely felt more confident with alcohol in my system. Unfortunately, because of my Quirk, it processed very quickly through me. So not only did I get fucked up really quickly, but I could also sober up easily too.

Ryukyu's house is enormous and ornate. As soon as we get to the mansion's gate, which is wide open, we see what looks like half of the whole school on the front lawn. Loud music blares intensely as we walk past people doing kegs on the lawn and walk through the giant open doors that are big enough to accommodate a dragon. A thousand smells of a typical popular high school party hit my nose: alcohol, sweat, food, weed, cotton candy vapes, and bad decisions.

The room is pitch dark, save for the flashing strobe lights. It doesn't even feel like we're in a house; it feels like a rave or a club. If only Dad could see me now. He'd beat me senseless if he found out I was drunk off my ass and making out with a dude. Hell, he'd beat me senseless even if I was sober and straight. Keigo is only a little buzzed, but I'm riding the line between drunk and blacked out. I've never gotten the chance to really let go like this considering I've never had friends.

Keigo has gotten tipsy enough to where he's let me be completely all over him. After three shots of Fireball, he's definitely buzzed now, but he insisted on not drinking heavily so he can keep his record clean. Meanwhile, I'm about two beers and five shots in, and it's hit me all at once. I keep Keigo pinned beneath me on the couch as the lights strobe and the music blares. I can taste the Fireball on his lips as I slip my tongue into his mouth, and he kisses me back as I keep his shoulders pinned down. My senses are completely numb, and all I can think about is how much I want Kei. Luckily, no one else is in the little side room, everyone is in the main hall or the theatre room getting shitfaced and twerking on tables. We left Rue in the kitchen making edibles; I wasn't interested in any of that, so we left her with Tatsuma and some other guys from school. I growl as I softly bite Keigo's lip and go to gently wrap my hand around his neck. Suddenly, Keigo pushes me off of him and sits up straight on the couch. I stare through the darkness and see a couple coming into the side room, seemingly looking for someone.
