Rusty's Sister (Pete x Reader)

AN: This starts off with College!Pete White, and warning that there's heavy drug use, possible trigger warning.

__________

When your father had passed, you were a semester before your elder brother, Thaddeus, and had been requested to come home. The Action Squad wanted to see both Venture siblings attend the funeral for the father that never really seemed to care about anything other than his inventions. His inventions, and women of course. Your father was a womanizer until the day that he died, and there was no way that you were heading back to the Compound to honor him.

Thaddeus had not said goodbye to any of his friends before he had left school, and it was logical that they would come to you. His roommate had given you his condolences, before attempting to suggest that you needed some comfort from a big, strong man. With a grimace, you thanked your classmate and respectfully left your brother's old dorm, fully clothed.

There was one of his friends who had not known how exactly to come up to you. He had always been a little shy, quirky even. Who am I kidding? You thought to yourself, almost stifling a chuckle as you thought back to your brother's friends. They're all shy with just about any female.

It had been three days since your brother had left for the compound. You were out of sorts - confused on how you should even feel about the whole situation. I should care more. Scolding yourself, you took the credit card out of your wallet, maneuvering the fine powder into a straight line before getting ready with a crisply rolled dollar bill. Bringing the contraption to your nose, you leaned your body downward, your face close to the table as you began to inhale.

Knock, knock.

As you sucked the first line up your nose, you wondered whether or not you should even answer the door. Residue of your act was still clear upon your nostrils, and you still had more that you could snort. Maybe if you snorted all of it, you would join your womanizer father. If you joined him in hell, just maybe he would actually notice that you existed. Maybe he would realize how much of a shitty father he was.

Perfecting another line, you quickly repeated your action, already feeling the head rush from the first line that you had done. You made sure to be completely silent, in hopes that whomever decided to bug you would turn about face, not to bother you until someone found you rotting some days later. The second line that you snorted made your head spin, feeling a discomforting nausea spread over you. To even yourself out, you swallowed hard, grasping your head in your hand for a moment.

Knock, knock, knock.

The person on the other side of the door was growing impatient as they waited on the other side, you could only presume. In a normal circumstance, you would answer the door quickly, a brilliant smile upon your face. It had not even mattered who was on the other side, seeing as you always seemed to have this happy aura around you. That was, until everything was setting in. Drawing a third line, you sucked in a deep breath, second guessing yourself for a minute.

Knock, knock.

This was followed by the fiddling of the door handle, messily if you could hear it correctly. The world around you had either sped up or slowed down, but in your mental state, you could not comprehend it. As you began snorting the third line, you had not accounted for the door bursting open, revealing a concerned, pizza faced albino. In actuality, maybe you did not give him enough credit, as his acne was already clearing up.

"Y/N?!" He exclaimed in a panic, causing you to freeze in your place.

By this point, you had two options, one of which being to continue this last line and possibly hit your grave in front of one of your brother's best friends. Pete was not just that, though, as you spent a great deal of time with your brother's group. You admittedly had a little something more for the albino man. Second option to simply stop what you were doing, quickly close the door and try to explain yourself out of it seemed to be more plausible.
