Heated- a Bakugou x Fem Reader

Chapter Three: Friends

You walk beside Denki and Ashido as you guys head into town. Kirishima and Bakugou were in the back bantering.

"Hey y/n-Chan, what's your favorite food?"

Denki starts chuckling putting his hands behind his head.

"You think she likes food?"

You snap your head over to him, glaring at his smirking face. You look back at Ashido rolling your eyes.

"I like (fav food)."

"Oh, that's a good choice. Want to get some on the way back?"

"Sure, that would be cool."

She gives a huge grin and keeps walking, a small skip in her step. You look up and see the huge mall looming over you. Your heart starts to beat faster as the anxiety bubbles up slowly. In the corner of his eye, Bakugou notices the stress slowly eating at you. He walks up next to you as you slow down behind the others. He looks at you with softer eyes than normal.

"What?"

You huff out slightly irritated by his expression. His look hardens and his eyes shoot forward, but he stays beside you. He speaks in a soft tone, his eyes staring straight ahead.

"Kick its ass."

You blink at him curiously, then look forward, brushing off his comment. You walk through the front door fighting the tightness in your chest. You look around amazed at the size of the mall. It looks significantly bigger on the inside than the outside. The atmosphere was bustling with activity from the tones of people walking around. Its claustrophobic atmosphere causes you to feel smothered. You shake your head and keep walking, burying your anxiety so the others don't notice. Bakugou snickers softly and walks up to Kirishima. Ashido skips over to you cheerily.

"Hey, I have a few shops I want to check out, wanna come?"

"Uh."

You look over to Denki nervously, who's waving you away encouragingly. You look back to Ashido, cautiously smiling.

"Yeah."

She grabs your hand and drags you up the escalator away from the others. She takes you over to a small clothes shop.

"There are all these super cute brands in here. I finally have enough money to get a new top."

She grabs two shirts and turns around with stars in her eyes.

"Oh, which one do you think I should choose?"

"Uh, the left one."

She looks at it and smiles excitedly.

"You know y/n-Chan you should be a fashion designer."

"Ah, I don't know about that."

She goes up to the counter to buy her shirt. You walk over to the shirt rack and a shirt(fav shirt) catches your eye. You take it off the rack, looking it over. Ashido comes up from behind startling you.

"I can buy it for you."

You jump at her sudden appearance and hide the shirt behind you.

"No it's ok, I don't need it."

"Oh, come on it's fine."

She swipes the shirt from behind you, evading capture as she makes her way to the cashier. You nearly run into her as she comes to a halt placing the shirt down. She turns around giving you a cheeky smile and sticking her tongue out. You huff out, crossing your arms, giving her an icy glare. She turns back to the teller handing him the money. She grabs the bag and turns around waving you to follow her out of the store. She hands you the bag as you walk down the mall.
