Drowning|| Drug Addict Bakugo

I panted with exhaustion as I neared his house. It hit me what Sero said to me, and how the day went down and tears filled my eyes. I look at my GPS to confirm that this was the house before I knocked quietly on the door. The door creaked open as Shinsou peaked his head out. He closed the door as metal could be heard to undo the chain lock before the door swung open. "Oh, fuck how long you staying?" He asks. "I don't want to go back home.." I muttered out with a lump in my throat. He nods and lets me in. "Let me warn you- uhm.. my dad, well-" Shinsou tried to stammer out before he could finish a familiar voice called from the kitchen. "Who's here?" He asked. "W-wait, YOUR DAD IS AIZAWA?!" I yelled out in shock. "Bakugo?" I hear Aizawa ask. "C'mon," Shinsou mumbled as he lead me to his kitchen.

"Woah, kid what's up?" Aizawa asked when he saw my tear stained face. "Can I stay for a while?" I ask quietly. "Do your parents know where you are?" Aizawa asked. Shinsou stayed quiet as Aizawa turned off the stove and walked up to me. "I uhm- it's complicated. They know I left, well- uhm.." I stammered out as I can feel my tears escape my eyes again. I feel Aizawa pull me into a hug and I sobbed, all my pent up emotions pouring heavily out of me. "You can stay as long as you need, but I'm going to inform your parents that you're safe with me, okay?" He says. I nod and hold him tightly as I sobbed. My chest heaved as I muttered helplessly into his t-shirt. I feel another pair of arms wrap around me, causing me to flinch. He pulls away, muttering a sorry. I pulled off of Aizawa and wiped my face, sniffling occasionally. "Tell anyone about this, and I swear I'll end you," I croaked out as I took deep breaths to relax myself. "There's the bakugo we know and love," Aizawa scoffed out.

"You fine with Katsudon?" He asked as he continued cooking. "Yes, thank you," I say with a slight bow. I grabbed my bags and followed Shinsou up to his room. He showed me where to put my things and told me to sit on his bed. "What happened?" He asked as he sat next to me. "We'll, so uhm- it's complicated.." I grumbled out. I shoved my hands into my pockets and felt the plastic of the bag holding the pills and pulled them out. "Can I?" I ask him. He nods. I nod and desperately open the bag and popped four pills into my mouth. I swallowed them dry, the sour flavor lasting on my tongue. I cringe at the taste but deal with it. Shinsou looked at me with concerned eyes before clearing his throat. "We have some time before dinner is ready, you can tell me," Shinsou said quietly. I sighed and rubbed my face from stress.

"So my birth dad died in and accident, my mom blamed me for it. Shit got bad there so I ran away to Sero's house. He was my best friend for a few years before this. Well uhm, he found out how bad it got and then took it to court. My mom's in jail now, they got custody over me. Sero knew I was doing drugs for a while until I 'nearly overdosed' at school, so then he told his mom and they helped me with that. I ended up needing to go to the hospital, they wanted to put me into a psych ward but because it wasn't attempted suicide, they didn't find it worthy enough. So then they sent me home but they kept catching me still doing drugs and then threatened therapy, which wasn't the worst until they said they'd do weekly drug tests, so I wouldn't keep doing drugs, and I flipped out and didn't wanna deal with that. That's when I texted you. I only intended to stay the weekend. But then Sero caught me packing and yelled at me, then told me he didn't care if I killed myself because he was tired of helping me, so I packed all my things and ran here," I explained.

He stared at me with wide eyes and processed what I said. "Sero said that to you?" He asked in shock. I nodded and gulped the betrayal feeling down. My heart aches and my chest hurt, hearing the person you were in love with tell you to kill yourself was painful. "That's fucking bullshit!" Shinsou yelled, causing me to flinch. He covered his mouth and muttered an apology. "It's fine, just instinct at this point," I mutter as I pull my knees to my chest. "Well, I'm sure dad won't mind if you stayed a while, but you can't forever. And if your guardians don't approve, he'll have to take you back," Shinsou said. "I know.. I just- can't be there right now. They won't shut up about the drugs, and won't let me do them," I grumbled. "Well, if dad found out I did drugs, he wouldn't either. They just care about you, want you to be okay," he says softly. "BUT IM NOT!" I shouted as I hugged my knees tightly, nails digging into my forearms, my wrist burning as it rubs against my shins. "I can never be okay... drugs are all I got.." I mutter quietly. "Well, have you tried anything else?" He asked. "Yeah.." I muttered, remembering the blood on the tile of the bathroom floor from cutting my wrists. "Did it work?" He asks. "Yeah, but it's just as bad.." I mutter, biting my lip. "What was it?" He asks with concern. "Nothing, never mind," I grumbled out.
