You had autism, and everyone picked on you for it. You were always getting in trouble by arguing with the teachers and other students and getting upset over things that don't matter at all. Thus, in your high school years, you turned to smoking. Marijuana was you're go-to, but you would smoke cigarette butts you find in the street if you had no alternative.
You had sneaked behind the school during lunch to smoke a cigarette butt. You were dizzy as the nicotine hit your system with each drag. Then you let your mind wander. Your thoughts immediately lead to Mr Benjamin Krupp, the principal of Jerome Horwitz High.
You had been to his office countless times to get chewed out for your behavior. Despite his harshness, however, you couldn't help but feel a positive feeling toward him. Almost like...a longing. It was now that you had the epiphany that you had fallen for him. It all made sense now. This could change your life foreve-
"(Y/N)!"
You know that voice anywhere. this made you jump and almost burn yourself. You quickly hide the butt behind your back as he makes his way over. He looks...surprisingly calm as he sits next to you on the sidewalk, sighing deeply before speaking.
"I...I know you have mental issues, and it must be hard, but you can't just smoke your brain away to feel okay. I know I never say this to anyone, but you are vital to this school. you're so smart and i'd hate to see that intelligence go to waste." he rambles.
You just stared at him as he continued to say how important you are and how you can't throw your life away on drugs because, apparently, he cares about you. There were stars in your eyes as you listened to every word. Your heart was pounding.
"...And that's why...i love you, (y/n). You're the only one who's ever been kind to me, and I would hate to lose you." he finished, his face turning red.
Your own face started to turn the same shade. You looked at the cigarette butt and back at him, discarding the butt and taking both of his hands in yours. He looked puzzled until you pulled him in for a kiss on his lips, which startled him, but he hesitantly returned it.
You pulled away and said, "I think I found a new addiction."
