LOST // BAKUGO X OC

Cracked Shell

It was the third time this week that Bakugo and Kirishima arrived at the cafe to study. Estelle wasn't surprised when she watched them walk through the doors and sit at the same table they'd learned at for the last two days. Estelle shook her head at her emotions since they had become confusing. She felt annoyed that they were here again and strangely happy that they could fill the silence she used to enjoy.

Estelle has become increasingly aware of the silence in The Beanery once the boys had left a few days ago. She felt a little resentment for them since she had taken solace in the quiet. Now, when she was serving customers - she almost expected to hear Bakugo barking in the background.

When a little time had passed from when her classmates arrived, Estelle was surprised to be greeted by Shinsou standing sheepishly at the entrance. Raising an eyebrow in question, Estelle picked up her notepad and met the boy halfway.

"Well, this is unexpected. Where you just looking for some coffee?"

Shinsou shrugged whilst he responded, "Well, I wouldn't mind some, but I came here to drop off your jumper. You left it with me the last time we met."

"Oh! Yeah, I forgot about that. Thank you. Sit down, and I'll get you something."

Shinsou nodded before taking a seat at the table Estelle gestured to. He waited patiently for his beverage, his fingers still clenched around the black jumper she left when they last trained. Shinsou's eyes scanned the cafe and widened in disbelief when he discovered the two studying students. The male noticed that Estelle wasn't close with her class; she wasn't close with many people at all. It was odd to view her with other people. The Class 1A students gawked back at Shinsou.

"Oi. What do you think you're doing here, shit for brains?" Bakugo scowled out.

"Didn't you hear? I'm here to drop off my friend's jumper from when we last hung out," Shinsou retorted with a smirk. He found his mission of getting under the blonde's skin was successful as Bakugo visibly growled before turning his head away with a 'Tch.'

Estelle brought out a black coffee, his favourite and placed it in front of the tired-looking boy. He flashed Estelle a grateful smile before taking a sip of his drink.

"You make great coffee, you know? Anyway, here is your jumper. When do you finish?"

Estelle took the jumper whilst responding, "I finish when we close at seven. Why?"

"I thought maybe we could hang out?" Which was code for training.

"Tch, why do you think we're here? Idiot. She's with us today." Bakugo piped up from his seat as he stared down at the purple-haired male. Shinsou showed no outward expression that he heard and kept his eyes on the female he was talking to. He smirked when he heard Bakugo growl once again at the apparent jab. Estelle shook her head at the juvenile antics of the two.

"Sorry, but it seems I'm busy today. How about I text you the next time I'm free?"

Shinsou took another gulp of his drink before nodding with a brief smile. He went to his pocket to take out some cash to pay for the beverage but was dismissed by Estelle since it was on the house.

"A gift for bringing me my jumper."

Taking another gulp to finish his coffee, Shinsou stood up and hugged the girl. Estelle was getting used to Shinsou's hugs; he made sure to give her one at least once every time they met. Most of the time, it still startled her, but she patted his back until he let go and left through the cafe doors with a slight wave.

Estelle grumbled to herself about the fact he was a clingy boy who was too affectionate for his own good before she was disrupted by the two boys at the side of her vision. Turning to them, she saw her classmates try to close their jaws at the scene they had just watched. Kirishima jumped up in his shock, shouting, "Hugs!? How does he get hugs, and we get the cold shoulder?!"
