Gemstone

Two

Music blared as the multicolored lights makes it way through the darkness; you watching the men and women making their place upon the dance floor. You thought of joining them and relish in the enthusiasm of young adulthood. You bow your head though soon finding interest in the white powder before you, and as you roll up a dollar bill, you try to suppress the memory of Sakura.

Once the deed is done, you leaned back feeling a rush of pure delight. Your heartbeat quickens as your thoughts roams from different aspects in your mind, and you searched for hope in the euphoria that filled your senses and making your contempt from the sadness. You were so overwhelmed with the slight overdose that you were unaware of someone joining you; you jumping at the slight pressure being added to your shoulder.

" Hey, are you okay?"

You slowly turn your head recognizing the famous Izuku Midoriya; you sighing as you didn't want to tolerate the whole hero bullshit right now. You shoved the man's arm away not wanting a lecture as you attempt to do another line. He pushes the plate away bringing forth agitation from you; the vigilante offering to take you home.

" Do I look like I need your help?"

" Yes. Yes you do."

You let out a little laugh snatching the plate back, and once again, you try to mind your own damn business. Of course though, Izuku slaps the plate away knocking it to the floor. You nearly hit the green hair fuck, but you lower your hand realizing he wasn't worth your time. You stand then just trying to get away from him, but he was quick to grab ahold of your wrist.

" What the Hell do you want from me?!"

You snapped though the music drowned out your voice, and Izuku proceeds to drag you away though he makes sure you're still comfortable and tries to reassure everything will be okay. You try to remove yourself from the situation, but it's no use as he easily overpowers you. As you're going through the crowd, you try to ignore the eyes and whispers from you leaving with the number one hero, and you keep your avoid contact not liking the idea of gossip surrounding your name.

You stumbled here and there from intoxication, and you regret mixing drugs with alcohol. Izuku asked if you were alright, but you stay silent not caring to talk to him right now. What did he want with you anyway? There's plenty other junkies in the club he could of saved, but for some reason, he chose you? You don't argue as he puts you in his car, and soon enough, you to drive off into the night.

" Where are you taking me? You don't even know where I live."

You say spitefully, but he doesn't return your attitude.

" I know where it is. All Might is waiting for us-."

" What? Why? Are you seriously busting me right now?"

He shakes his head as he avoids looking directly at you, and you peered out the window not sure whether to believe him or not. What does Yagi want with you exactly then?

" Mr. Yagi just wants to make sure you're safe. That's all. He.. He came to visit you, but you weren't there. He was worried, so he sent a few heroes to go looking for you."

You whipped back around not believing what he was saying. The famous old geezer.. cared for you? Why? He hardly knows you. You don't say anything as you make your way back to your apartment building.

As he parks the car, you noticed the various well known basic celebrities crowding the entrance. Was this all really needed? You get out nearly tripping as you do so, and Ochaco Uraraka rushes to you in assistance. You tell her you're fine, but she still keeps a hand at your lower back in case. You felt.. awkward.. as the bunch follow you up the stairs; you trying your best not to struggle as you become dizzy. When you finally made it to the door, you take in a deep breath slowly turning the knob to reveal Shota Aizawa and Toshinori Yagi.

" There you are."

You see so much concern as All Might came forward, but you back up from the uncomfortality. Why is he treating you like one of his students? You could see the hurt in his eyes, but he quickly hides it giving you  your space.

" Did you need me for something?"

You looked around at everyone searching for an answer, but they all seem to want an explanation as well. Mr. Yagi clears his throat as if he had prepared for this, and you narrowed your eyes wishing you were alone instead of being surrounded by all these people.

" I was wanting to talk to you about our late hero program. It takes time, but knowing your profession, you seem to have it."

" You've been studying me?"

You didn't like the sound of that as this hero is just barging into your life. Before he could speak, you become lightheaded, so you quickly redirect yourself to the couch. As you do so, Izuku quickly whispers something in Mr. Yagi's ear; you not seeing this as you hold your head in your hands. All Might sighs from disappointment having not predicted a drug problem coming from you, and he quickly goes to the kitchen to receive a glass of water. Mina Ashido is now sitting beside you in making sure you were stable, and you just nod reluctantly taking the beverage from Toshinori's gasp.

" I'm fine. Can you please explain to me why this couldn't wait until morning?"

" You're right about it not being the most appropriate timing, but I'm glad you came. You shouldn't be at a place like that. It's not safe."

" For all you knew, I could of been at a store. Why was it necessary to send your whole posse after me?"

He shakes his head as he sat on the other side of you, and you once again didn't like the closeness. He was a stranger after all.

" At the store? At this time of night? Really?"

You shake your head not in the mental or physical state to deal with this bullshit. You desperately wanted to just do another line or pop a pill, so you try to usher them out the door.

" Look, I'll think about it okay? Right now, I would like to get some sleep."

Before Mr. Yagi could talk, Shota pipes up seeing it was time for them all to go home.

" Goodnight Y/n. I hope you will accept our offer. You would make a fine hero I believe."

" Thank you."

With that, you head to your bedroom and waited for them to leave before continuing your intoxication.
