LOST // BAKUGO X OC

Another Step

Estelle was surprised when Katsuki showed up at her door on Saturday afternoon holding a rucksack. He frowned as he regarded her, causing the female to tilt her head in curiosity as she backed up to allow him further into the room. "I'm staying with my parents tonight. Just letting you know so you ain't sad n' shit when I'm not downstairs."

Feeling a sudden rise of peculiar emotions, Estelle scoffed as she pushed them aside with hidden annoyance. "You don't need to tell me, y'know."

She would never accept what her immediate reaction was, no way. She did not feel her heart drop; it never happened. Nope. Nada. Nothing.

"Tch, yeah, sure. Whatever you say," Katsuki snipped back, a glare on his face as he gazed down at Estelle with evident disappointment that twinged the female's soul. Suddenly feeling a bit lost on what to do next, Estelle shuffled on her feet awkwardly as she tried to find the right words.

Eventually, she landed on, "Well, uh, have fun?", leaving her to wince at the unsureness in her tone. Waiting patiently for the blonde to turn around and walk away from her lack of reaction, Estelle lifted her head from the ground once she heard his growl and loud footsteps heading her way.

She was immediately met with Katsuki's chest, an arm wrapped around her waist as the other held the back of her head. Freezing, her hands slowly raised to his chest to push him away, a sudden warmth brimming through her in a way that made her want to run. It was futile because, by the time they reached his chest, the comfort surrounding her settled into her bones and slackened her limbs. Slumping into him, Estelle loosely gripped onto his shirt as her eyes locked, a small part of her mind whispering, 'Just this once.'

Eventually, she could feel subtle movement before the spikes of Katsuki's hair tickled her neck. His hot breath followed, and Estelle knew she would have tensed from the closeness if she hadn't relaxed. Her brows furrowed slightly, wondering in her brain as she questioned why he would hug her if he was only leaving for one night.

"Just letting you know so you ain't sad n' shit when I'm not downstairs."

Was he talking about himself rather than Estelle herself? If that was the case, the thought bothered her. Ignoring her strange emotions, she immediately trailed her hands to rest on his back and tautened her grip to soothe the idea. Estelle's eyes dilated slightly from his groan of approval, his face moving from side to side as if he was snuggling further into her neck. Estelle didn't need to see his face to know that he was grinning at her efforts, and the knowledge sparked warmth in her cheeks as he embraced her tighter.

"You're sleeping has gotten better. But, if you need me. Just call, idiot," He continued as if they hadn't stopped conversing for the last fifteen minutes.

"I'll be fine," Estelle muttered, indignation in her veins at the fact he thought she wouldn't be able to cope without him.

Bakugo seemed to see right through her words as he gave a light chuckle. "You brat. What am I gonna do with you?"

'Leave me.'

Estelle's eyes broadened as the body holding onto hers stiffened. She didn't know what caused the words to tumble past her lips, but before she could retract anything, the blonde had drawn back, his hands already on her face as he shouted. Stunned from the aggressive action, Estelle could barely open her mouth before he interrupted her.

"Shut the fuck up," He snarled, a sudden shift from the more delicate words he had given just a moment ago. The female snapped her mouth closed, her eyes avidly watching him as Katsuki's face twisted into a furious expression.

The slitted eyes Estelle was observing suddenly advanced whilst Katsuki leaned down quickly, and it was only when her body lifted that Estelle began to panic. "Wait!" She hollered out, her body jerking as she was now only balancing on the hands that held her up by her thighs.
