"…Yang… where did you get that?" Minato asked carefully as they both stood inside of a room.
It had been one year and eight months since Minato and Yang had began going out with each other. Now the two were fifteen years old teenagers and they were inside of a dorm room due to a special field trip for their grade. The reasons why though were also peculiar.
The two of them signed up for elective courses that were related to the occupation of hunters and huntresses. Yang did it because she didn't really know what she wanted to do for a future career and thought the missions would be able to provide thrill. Minato just joined up because it was a way to keep a closer eye on Yang so she wouldn't do anything reckless. Plus, he didn't think that any other job would suit him.
Apparently, this school trip for their electives was all about survival in the wilderness. Atlas of all places was the selected Kingdom and the cold climate was going to be incredibly harsh. It was indeed hard, but then thankfully staff were on standby if things became too ugly. The students were told to pair up and live out of civilization for a total of 72 hours.
About half of the students either really did need help or wimped out. Those of the latter would receive extremely low marks. Minato and Yang were the better half of surviving for the proper allotted time since Minato had read a lot and Yang at least had more than common sense.
As a reward for those that passed, they were allowed to be inside of camp cabin rooms that were slightly luxurious as fancy cabin rooms could go. But then as they were getting used to the inside, after a nice dinner, Yang had presented something that concerned Minato a lot.
The blonde held up something rolled up. Minato assumed it was drugs. Cannabis to be more specific.
Yang meanwhile looked at him gave him weird look. "I bought it." She stated as if it were the most obvious thing.
"… I think that's the obvious part." Minato deadpanned, a wary eye still on the stick in her fingers. "My question was where did you get that?"
"That is something that I'm not going to answer." Yang shrugged her shoulders, spinning the object around her fingers. She still noticed Minato's look. "If it makes you feel any better, I did not get it off a dealer. I bought it from a medicinal shop. Aren't you just the least bit curious about it? Just have a go and see if you like it?"
"And that is how addictions start." Minato stated a bit seriously. "Yang, I really don't like that you're trying it out." He shook his head. He soon took a deep breath, allowing for his tone to sink in. "But…" he sighed in defeat. "You used your own money… and you're so lucky it's me that's around. I'll keep an eye on you so you don't do anything stupid."
It was Yang after all. His girlfriend really did mean well, it's just that curiosity got the better of her. If he still forbid it, she would be put into a gloomy mood and he didn't like that. She paid with her own money, it was her choice whether or not to use it.
Not only that, but then it would be a good way for her to learn a lesson about doing drugs since things always go bad when such substance is involved.
"Yes!" Yang cheered, smiling. Hopping up towards Minato, the blonde hugged the boy while giving him a peck on the cheek. "Thank you so much!" Her embrace was certainly tight. She stared at him with her happy expression with a cheekiness to it. "You want anything in return?" She teased, making sure her chest was pressing right against his body. She had been developing and took every opportunity to make sure to tease Minato.
He grabbed her back as he pulled her closer and tickled her chin with his fingers. "Yes, there is in fact." He stated closely to her. Minato heard Yang's breathe in deeply with surprise, eyes widening at his words. "You go wash up first. I don't want the washroom smelling odd when I use it either."
"…Killjoy." Yang pouted with her red cheeks.
"Your fault for always falling for it." Minato stated. It was the same song and dance over and over again since they started their relationship. She would tease him. He would look like he would actually fulfill the actions she suggested and stop at the last moment. If it were a light thing like kissing or caressing, Minato would fulfill it. Only if he felt like it though.
Huffing in amusement, Yang grabbed her pajamas and went into the washroom connected to the room.
Taking a deep breath as he heard running water, Minato laid down on his temporary bed while staring up at the ceiling. How did he managed to end up here? How did all of the bad manage to turn into good?
He was an orphan, left on the doorstep all alone. Minato knew that he had a biological family… but it was their choice to abandon him. But that led a question. Why? Why would they do that?
They led him to a life of what almost everyone would consider miserable. Bullied and beaten, he endured that kind of life for eleven years. Well… maybe ten considering how he was still a toddler or baby when he first entered the orphanage.
But then… maybe he should also be thankful to them as well. Because of them, he met nice people. He became a part of a new great (and very loud) family. He even fell in love and is now in a relationship with a beautiful girl. Exhaling, he closed his eyes and continued to think back to the love and affection he had been given by everyone thanks to Yang.
His world grew silent, but he didn't know how long. Even when there was running water, he didn't hear it. However, Minato's ears caught the sound of a door opening and saw Yang shaking her head wand water droplets trickled out of her hair. Releasing a breath of relief, she looked over. "Well, it's your turn now." She gestured to the bathroom behind her.
Watching Minato grab his own clothing before heading into the bathroom, Yang began to get to work. Grabbing the windows, she made sure that they were not only closed but also locked. She didn't want the smell of the cannabis to get outside and have someone smell what she was up to.
Pulling up a chair, she stepped onto the stool and made sure that she was standing right under the smoke alarm. Taking it apart, she messed around with it a bit so that it wouldn't go off if it did detect the smoke that would be made from the cannabis when she would light it up.
Pushing the chair back, she grabbed a portable lighter that she still held onto from the survival days and began to light the stick. Almost burning any bit of her hair off, she managed to successfully light up the drug and began to feel herself fade away after a feel puffs.
He didn't know exactly how long, maybe 20 minutes, he had spent in the shower. But when he walked out, Minato found himself staring at Yang whose front body was flat on her bed. Her face was turned to the side, a distant gaze on her face. Her knees were also bent and on the mattress, having her butt sticking up into the air.
It was at that moment, Minato began to realize that the room was kind of hot and smelled awful. Also, quite smoky.
Looking around, he noticed something that was lit and on the ground. Narrowing his eyes a bit, he blinked and recognized what it was. The stick of cannabis that Yang had wanted to use.
Alarms, small alarms, began to go off in Minato's head. Snapping his head over to the window, he began to quickly run over. Grabbing the transparent barrier, he shoved the glass open to let all of the smoke out. Sadly, it was too late.
Minato had inhaled too many of the fumes as he himself began to drift into an alternate state of mind.
"…" He sighed. "Yang… did you really have to turn our room into a sauna?" His tone was a bit airy, as he was not thinking straight.
"Look, I'm sorry." Yang apologized in a similar voice. "It's just… I don't want anyone smelling it. You know? It would get me in trouble, yeah. But you also would be at fault, and I don't want that."
"That's really considerable of you, Yang. Really… really considerable." Minato nodded slowly, sluggishly making his way right next to Yang. Getting to her bed, he dropped right off his feet and landed on his bottom next to her. "One problem though… it's really hot in here."
"…" Yang rolled off of the bed and her face landed right against Minato's stomach. "True… That's a huge problem." She stopped and began to think. "You know the best way to become cooler? Take our clothes off."
"…Why didn't I think of that?"
As the two of them stumbled onto their feet, Yang began to take off her pajamas as well as Minato. The female was now only in her undergarments while Minato was in his boxers. Yang dragged herself back onto her own bed while Minato sat down onto his.
The next hour consisted of them having conversations about chips and types and hairstyles. Or, Yang was the one who did all of the talking while Minato just sat in place with a partially interested look to what the blonde was saying. Her ranting on about chips was odd, but the hairstyle part was nice because she would somehow bring him into it.
Just then, Yang suddenly went silent and it caused Minato's stare to lock onto her. "…My body feels weird…" The blonde started off as she looked down and all over herself. "…I think I need to pee."
"…I need to go as well."
"Come on, let's go together." Yang waved the boy over and started walking over to their washroom. Just as Minato got up, Yang had entered the washroom and immediately. "I completely forgot that this place only has communal bathrooms and not private ones. Very bad building design."
"Come on, it's a bad idea to pee our pants." Minato stated walking past her as he pushed the door open to the hallway of the building.
"We're not wearing pants." Yang noted as she followed the boy. The two of them just walked around as if they owned the place. "We're only in our underwe- Oh hey, a sock."
The two of them looked down onto the floor, and there was a single lone sock on the floor. They didn't know why it was there. They didn't care either. They were unsure if there was even a reason to why there was a sock in the middle of the hallway.
But there was just something… hypnotic about it. The piece of clothing was absolutely mesmerizing. The duo spent about forty minutes staring at the sock.
But then their bodies began to remind them what they were even doing in the hallway to begin with. Right, they had to both pee. So the two continued to make their ways to the bathroom.
Minato went into the men's room. Yang followed because she didn't want to be lonely. At least, that was her reasoning. That clinginess went even further when Minato went into a single stall and Yang went in with him. The two of them shared the same toilet to relieve themselves before flushing the toilet.
But then the toilet began to make extremely odd sounds and they did not stop at all. With a combination of loud noise and drugs going through their systems, Yang began to freak out while Minato looked a bit paranoid.
"Shit, shit, shit! We didn't break it, did we?!" Yang whispered in terror. "Did we?! What do we do?! What do we do?!"
As soon as Yang asked that question, time began to start crawling. As if the world around them froze, a single thing clicked in both Minato and Yang's mind at the same time. The two of them looked at each other, their minds being under the influence also bearing a scheme that was either going to work well or end up extremely horrible.
"The sock." They said at the same time, as if it were the greatest idea ever.
Minato ran outside. He sprinted towards where the sock was. Grabbing the piece of clothing, he began to rush back towards the washroom where Yang waited for him. Throwing the sock into the toilet, Yang let out a cheer. The toilet had gone quiet. It stopped flushing.
For about a second.
Suddenly, the water began to start rising.
It continued to rise.
It wouldn't stop rising.
Suddenly, the water began to overflow all over the bathroom.
Yang watched in horror while Minato witnessed everything in morbid realization. The two of them had just started flooding a bathroom. A bathroom that was meant to be shared by everyone in the building. Again, bad building design but that was not the issue at the moment.
The two of them began to make a mad dash towards their room. Grabbing the knob, Minato jiggled the handle but then it didn't open the door. Yang pushed him aside to try herself. She failed as well.
It was at that moment the blonde noticed a keyhole on the knob. They both soon began to remember that these doors used keys. Such keys were supposed to open the locks to their rooms so that those that failed the survival tests wouldn't be able to sneak in.
The reason Minato and Yang didn't have their keys on them was because such items were in their pants… which were inside of their room.
"Now what?! We're going to get caught!"
Despite Yang's panic, Minato somehow kept a level head as he began to think. "The window…" His voice was quiet, but it was loud to Yang due to the situation they were in. "I opened the window to let all of the smoke out… it's probably still open."
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Yang grabbed Minato arm and began to drag him around halls, this time outside of the building.
It was Atlas in the winter, so there was plenty of snow everywhere. As soon as they both went outside, they were freezing. The fact that Yang was in her undergarments while Minato had only his boxers on did not help their body temperatures either. Continuing to run, Minato began to notice something.
"Yang, you're going straight into the forest. Our room is back at the building." He stated.
Yang looked over and saw that Minato was right. "Shit! Come on, let's get goi-!"
The two of them heard the sound of crunching snow. Turning their heads, they both saw a woman just staring at them. They may have been high, but they could still see the expression on the lady's face at the sight of the two despite her seeming to be extremely exhausted. Shame. Fear. Happiness. Everything at once was right on the face due to two half-people in front of her.
"…Uhh…" Yang looked awkwardly around while Minato buried his face into one of his hands. "…We'll see you around." With that said, Yang began to drag her boyfriend back towards their room.
The two of them immediately climbed through the window and blacked out.

The woman just trekked through the wilderness, just unable to get that duo out of her head. The event of seeing two half-naked people was… just so bizarre. There was no way she could forget about them. No matter what she wanted to do, they wouldn't leave her memories.
Suddenly, she lost strength in her body and fell down into the snow. Twitching, the lady struggled to move. But she couldn't. She had wasted all of her energy to try and reach civilization. She could have possibly asked for those two teenagers for help, but she couldn't. If they helped her, they would be involved in a world that they shouldn't be a part. A world they weren't ready for.
But as she began to close her eyes while allowing the cold to consume her, she couldn't get that blonde girl out of her head.
Winds soon began to pick up. A spiral began to blow around the female's unmoving body. Snow, either around or from the woman, was picked up by the winds and started to flow across the land. The trip was rather short, finding its way through an open window.
The cold soon began to embrace a blonde in her underwear kissing a blue-haired boy.

Minato slowly began to blink as he groaned.
What had happened last night? Oh right… Yang had smoked drugs… and he was affected by said drugs…
Slowly sitting up, Minato suddenly paused a moment. He was trying to remember something. All of it then came onto to him like a truck speeding his way. Groaning once again, he buried his face into his hands. He ended up getting high with Yang as well. Exhaling in a bit of exasperation, he put his hands to his side.
"Ow, what was that for?"
His blood froze. Normally, that voice would be a bit comforting to him. But now, it partially startled him. Slowly, he began to look over towards his right side. Right next to him, still under the covers, was Yang sleeping while snuggling against a pillow.
She yawned as she began to get up and rubbed her eyes. "Morning, Minato." She stated, stretching her arms. As her fist collided with Minato cheek gently, she froze as well. She turned her head slowly and saw him right next to her. "…You're in the same bed as me." She stated.
"Apparently." Minato said evenly, trying to keep a neutral voice.
"…Does that mean we…" Yang trailed off, having Minato's eyes widen a little bit. Beginning to check her lower being and feeling around, she gave a thumbs up to the boy. "Nope, everything is okay. A bit chilly, but grea- why is there a bunch of snow in our room?"
Minato raised and eyebrow, not only at Yang's comment but also at her question. Looking around, he too saw what she was seeing. The cold, white powder had been scattered all over their room. As if it had been snowing inside of the building.
But before they could even think anymore, they heard a voice. "Whoa!"
Snapping their heads over towards the window, the two of them saw Tai and Qrow as apparently they were just outside of their window. Immediately, Minato pulled the covers over him and Yang. "What are you two doing outside?" He asked with a weird look on his face as the blonde peeked around him.
"Just thought about going for a walk and was going to ask if you two wanted to join us." Tai noted.
Qrow however grinned. "But… it looks like you two are a little busy at the moment. Probably last night as well."
Tai turned over to Qrow. "You don't mean…"
"I do."
"…"
"…"
The two males began to cheer as they slapped their hands together and shook hard. While they were laughing, Yang felt like she had to correct them. While it was amusing to see Minato face morphed into the look he had on at the moment, she should do something in order to keep him from being a bit grumpy for the rest of the day. "Nothing like that happened." She stated. No need to mention that she smoked pot essentially.
Tai and Qrow went silent at the revelation. "…Boo." Qrow stuck his thumb down while letting his disappointment show.
"You guys are teenagers, right?" Tai asked with a disturbed look.
"You guys are adults, right?" Minato questioned back.
The conversation would have continued. But then there were voices yelling very loudly in the halls.
"IT WAS A SOCK! IT WAS A FUCKING SOCK!
Loosely based on a true story. Don't do drugs.
No flames please.
