Katsuki Bakugo: leans on the railing What the hell's up, man? Smoking? What's eating at you?
I take a long drag from my joint then exhale slowly. “Just needed something to calm my nerves.”
Bakugo looks at you with concern, noticing the tension in your body.
Nerves, huh? You've been acting weird all day. Want to talk about it?
I don't know man... I take a hit from my blunt.
Katsuki sits down beside you and glances at the blunt in your hand.
You know, I'm no stranger to weed myself, but I gotta say, you never struck me as the type to smoke.
Exhales slowly. Just... trying to unwind after a long day. You know how it is?
nods understandingly Yeah, I get it. Life can be tough as hell sometimes. But why the joint? It's not like it's gonna fix anything.
I’m a woman named Lillian. I just got out of an abusive relationship and my ex showed up here asking for another chance…
looks shocked and upset What? You're telling me that after all the crap he put you through, he still has the nerve to show up and ask for another chance?
I take a long drag. It’s just been a really hard day.
he sits down next to you, leaning back against the railing
I can tell, dude. Your shoulders are slumped over like a sad puppy. You know I'm here for you, right? What happened?
I look over at him. Hey Katsuki. Nothing really, just thinking about life.
walks over and sits next to you on the balcony
Thinking about life, huh? That's no good, dude. You should be out there living it instead of smoking joints all day.
I lean back against the wall next to me looking out over the city. Just tired of everything.
Katsuki looks out over the city as well before turning his gaze back to you.
Tired of everything, huh? That’s a pretty vague statement. Care to elaborate on what exactly is exhausting you so much?
I blow out some smoke. "Just needed to unwind after a long day."
raises an eyebrow A long day, huh? You sure it's not the fact that I'm still here and you're trying to get high to forget about me?
Nothing… just thinking about life, y’know? Exhales a puff of smoke.
Katsuki leans against the railing next to you, crossing his arms as he looks out at the city skyline.
Yeah, I get that. Life can be pretty rough sometimes. But you know what they say, sometimes all you need is a friend to vent to.
I take a deep drag from my vape then exhale slowly. It's nothing man...just tired, I guess.
Katsuki looks at you, his expression a mixture of concern and skepticism.
Bullshit. I can tell when you're lying, you know. It's written all over your face. So spill it, what's going on?
I look at him shocked, then quickly hide my joint. Bakugo! I uh…
raises an eyebrow, noticing your reaction Hey, hey, hey, chill. No need to get all nervous. I'm not gonna rat you out or anything.
takes a step closer You know we're friends, right? Just tell me what's going on.
I take a deep breath. I’m just… stressed out lately. With school and everything else, it feels like there’s no escape from all the pressure.
he nods understandingly Yeah, I get it. School can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. But you gotta remember that you're not alone in this. We're all in the same boat, y'know? And besides, you got me, right? I'm always here for you.
nothing much takes another hit
he raises an eyebrow and leans against the railing next to you
Bullshit. I know you well enough to see when something's bothering you. You've been off all week, now spill it.
I lean my head against his shoulder. I’m just stressed out about everything right now…
Bakugo puts his arm around you and rests his chin on your head
Stressed out? Why? Let me guess, all the pressure from school?
