Just You and I || (Bakugo x Reader)

6

You look up from your phone as you walk into the center of the mall, the place where everyone is meeting. You are the last one to arrive, even though your not even two minutes late. They must've all came early. Kyouka, Mina, Kaminari, Kirishima, Sero, Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugo are all looking at you, all smiling - except Bakugo of course, who is frowning like any other day.

"I DON'T WANNA BE HERE, DAMMIT! YOU TRICKED ME, SHITTY HAIR, YOU SAID WE WERE GUNNA SEE A MOVIE."

"Ok, we're all here now! Which shops does everyone wanna go to first?" Jirou asks, completely ignoring Bakugo.

"DON'T IGNORE ME, YOU BASTARDS!"

"Shhh, Kacchan! Your gunna draw all the attention to us!"

"Me and Midoriya were gunna head to the dollar store," Todoroki exclaims, and Kaminari offers to go too. Mina went off to look for some new clothes to add to her new wardrobe in her dorm, and Kiri left with Sero to go and look for a furniture store. Jirou smiles and says that she should 'probably go and look for some more furniture too,' because otherwise her room would be quite empty. However you see her go toward an instrument shop and you half smile at yourself because it's so typical of her. But your smiles disappears just as quickly when you realize who's left.

Bakugo stuffs his hands in his pockets as per usual and storms off to who knows where. You've never actually been to this mall before. You never needed to, because you always just brought stuff online or got groceries at the local supermarket. Nevertheless, you follow Bakugo because you've simply nowhere else to go, and even if you did, you'd probably get lost.

"STOP FOLLOWING ME, MORON!" The angry hot-head yells, and carries on walking up a set of stairs. You follow suit, and soon you're in a tucked away corner of the mall in a vintage furniture shop which has not even half a dozen customers. You wonder how Bakugo knows such a place; he doesn't seem like one to casually go furniture shopping. Not giving you any notice, Bakugo walks up to the counter and starts a conversation with the worker as if they were old friends, and then he vanishes through a door with the words inscribed 'Staff Only'. This confuses you, but you wait around in the shop and snoop through some old books on display as shelf decorations. This place isn't too shabby, to be honest - you spot a single bed which has a wooden frame, and beneath there are compartments with little drawers which would be perfect for organizing your wardrobe. Not that you have a very wide one. You take a mental note to ask Ashido for some clothes shopping advice.

You decide to purchase the bed frame for the price of 11,000 yen, but as you pull your wallet out to pay, Bakugo appears behind you with a warm coffee in his hand which you have no idea where he got from.

"You gunna buy that bed over there?" He asks abruptly, and you nod your head. He rolls his eyes and pushes away your purse. "Hajire. I'm paying for it."

The cashier, Hajire, replies. "Is that so, Katsuki? Alright," and the price shown on the cash register changes from 11,000 to 9500. You look up at Bakugo questioningly and he rolls his eyes yet again.

"I work here, dumbass! Jeez, is it that hard to figure it out?!" Well, that explains the coffee from the staff room and the reasonable discount. But it surprises you that Bakugo Katsuki, a teenage brat, works at some old vintage shop in the corner of a huge shopping center. It's certainly unexpected, and you snigger when you imagine him in a ridiculous tie yelling at innocent elderly customers who just want to buy some rug.

"WHAT ARE YOU SNIGGERING AT, IDIOT?!"

"Nothing. So, are you gunna pay for all the stuff I buy from this place or what?" You smirk.

"NO. YOU CAN DROP DEAD IN THIS STORE FOR ALL I CARE!" You laugh out loud at his response and he shakes with fury.

"Katsuki, please, retrain yourself from shouting at our customers."
