Work Text:
Izuku was a good kid… most of the time.
Yet here he was, sitting on the floor going through his box of burnt vapes trying to find one that didn't taste like straight robot dick.
It was a Tuesday night and all he wanted was a little nicotine to stop him from stressing too bad over his essay that was due tomorrow. But when do things ever go his way?
He finally gives up on his search after hitting way too many vapes that tasted like burnt wires and finally leaned back to throw himself on the floor.
“Fuckkkkk” Izuku thought as he slapped his hands over his eyes.
At this rate the essay he should've been working on would probably be finished by now. It was a simple essay from Midnight Sensei, the assignment was to pick a painting by the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh and write about how said painting makes you feel. Easy right? Not for Izuku. God knows he can't focus on one of the millions of thoughts in his head if he's not on some kind of substance.
He had planned on writing about the painting “Peach Tree in Blossom” but right now he's feeling more like the painting “Worn Out”.
He was about to give up and just take the zero when a fantastic idea popped into his head.
“Sero!!” His mind screamed.
He and Sero liked to smoke together from time to time, often meeting up on weekends to light up a preroll Sero usually had. He knew that Sero probably didn't have any vapes or cigarettes but a blunt would do just fine.
Izuku quickly jumps to his feet and starts his trek to Seros room.
Once at his door Deku knocks rapidly and the second he hears the ok to come in he slams the door open and quickly shuts it behind him.
“Sero please tell me you have something I can smoke,” He starts, and apparently in his urgency he didn’t see both Mina and Kaminari sitting on the big beanbag in the corner of the room.
“This fuckass essay is due tomorrow and all my vapes are burnt.” He continues, still oblivious to the audience he has.
“I really need to-” He quickly cuts himself off when he hears a chuckle from the corner of the room. He turns to see Mina with her hands over her mouth, the sound clearly coming from her, and Denki with his eyes wide and mouth hanging open.
Izuku turns back to Sero to see him with a pleading look on his face, knitted eyebrows and a nervous looking smile.
“Hey bro..! Umm… Yea I'll see if I have something you can have, just give me a minute..” Sero says with a tight voice as he slowly gets up from his bed and makes his way to the small nightstand where he usually keeps all the things that weren't approved by school administration.
Izuku is frozen in place. He looked like a deer in headlights.
I mean who would blame him? His horrible habits that he worked so hard to keep hidden from the world just got exposed to the two people in class 1-A that have the biggest mouths. By tomorrow he's sure that all his business will be aired out to the whole school and next thing you know, he’ll be kicked out of UA due to underage and illegal drug usage.
He slowly turns back over to Mina and Kaminari who still have shocked looks on their faces. They all just stare at each other for a while, with the noise of Sero shuffling through drawers in the background becoming white noise.
Mina recovers first and finally breaks the silence.
“Who would've known.” She says with a chuckle, causing Denki to start laughing along with her.
Izuku can feel his face turn red as he starts flailing his hands and starts spewing words out.
“Uhm, it's not what it looks like! Well I mean it is but like.. Ugh there's really no way to explain myself, just please don't tell anyone! It helps me and I know it's bad and all and I know I should quit and all but I really can't have this going around the school, I'll do anything you want! Ill-” He was quickly cut off by another round of loud chuckles.
He looks at Mina to see her crying from laughing, "You're ok babes.” She says before she takes a deep breath. “Honesly, im sure half of the school smokes by now, hero school is stressful.” Denki chimes in.
Izuku lets out a sigh of relief “Oh thank god,” he says as he rests a hand on his heart and walks further into the room to toss himself onto Sero’s bed.
He heard another group chuckle coming from the two but he doesn't worry too much about it, knowing that he's safe for now.”I suppose the only bad thing about this is that now Mina has blackmail” He thinks to himself and shivers.
“Umm bad news…” Sero finally says as he closes the drawer he was digging in, “I might be out.. of like everything…”
Izuku lets out a groan as he starts to rub his hands on his face. “At this rate I might just drop out.”
“Not to worry!” Denki says as he jumps up from his spot on the beanbag, causing Mina to tumble over to the middle due to the weight change. “I met up with someone not too long ago and they gave me an extra vape for christmas! I'll be right back.” he said as he slipped out of the door.
Deku sits up and wipes a stray tear away, "I've been blessed.”
By the time Denki returned Deku was a ball of nerves, picking at his nails and chewing on his lips.
Izuku's head popped up quickly at the sound of the door opening back up to see Kaminari fidgeting with his pocket and pulling out a vape from it.
“Oh my god thank you sooo much!” Deku exclaimed as he quickly got up and made his way over to Denki.
“No problem bro.” Denki said with a snicker.
Izuku grabbed the vape out of Denki's hand and quickly looked it over, seeing that it was not only a lost mary, but also in the flavor tigers blood! “My favorite!” he thought as he did a little squirmy dance.
He then proceeds to take a long hit from the vape and can immediately feel a wave of calm throughout his body as his muscles seem to relax and his mind stops racing.
He lets out a deep sigh as he falls back down onto Sero’s bed and looks up to thank his savior once again.
“While I would love to stay and chill, I do have an essay I need to finish.”
“Awwe well good luck!” Mina answered.
Looking dumbfounded, Denki slowly says “Wait.., there's an essay.?”
The room is silent for a second before Mina and Sero break into laughter and start to berate the poor blond as he starts to scramble for his bag and pull his laptop out. Deku took that as his chance to sneak out and make his way back to his own room to finally get to work on his own essay with his new loot.
