LOST // BAKUGO X OC

Shopping

The girls giggled as the otherworldly female drowned in her misery in the corner of the room, a black cloud floating over her head. Katsuki had mentioned the fact Estelle had never gotten to experience the mall properly and grew furious when he realised the girls had planned to take her out as soon as the words left his mouth.

"Hell no! I was going to take her! Not you extra's!"

"You always get to hang out with her! Let us have Estelle for once!"

Groaning loudly, Estelle's head was beginning to hurt from swivelling back and forth throughout their disagreement. The blonde was seemingly adamant that he would do it, but with how relentless the whole class could be in these moments, Estelle knew it would be never-ending if it continued.

"For the love of gods, please just shut up and make a decision!"

Scowling, the ruby-eyed male hissed under his breath before shooting the girls a stare that promised death upon them. Clenching his jaw, Katsuki struggled to allow the words through his mouth. "Fine, whatever. They can take you this time."

The male didn't stick around to hear the female's cheer in the background. His eyes focused on the ground as his feet slammed against the floorboards with each step. Unfurling her mouth to hopefully ease his vexation, Estelle didn't get the chance to say a single word before the door bashed shut behind him.

Pursing her lips, Estelle's eyes remained on the door whilst the girls crowded around her excitedly. There were too many voices to determine what they were saying, but shopping and clothes were clearly the topics of conversation.

As their tone began to get more exuberant the more they communicated, Estelle internally slumped at the eager students. She couldn't help but trail her gaze back to the exit, her mind already regretting the blondes leaving. She would never admit that she had imagined him walking through the door to rescue her from this situation, but it was too good to be true.

She was already getting hauled out the door.

-_-

It didn't take long for Estelle to be tugged into a clothing shop, and she was barely given a chance to look before clothes were lobbed at her, and she was carried to the changing room.

The girls eagerly spoke to one another as they lingered for Estelle to change, and when she vacated the cubicle to stare into all their eyes, she was disgruntled with the fact they hated the outfit.

So she changed again.

And again.

And again.

Forced to change repeatedly for the girl's gratification, Estelle was on her fourteenth outfit before her body leaned against the wall, and she realised that she hated the mall.

As she stood there, half naked from stopping mid-change, Estelle couldn't help but wonder if her opinion would have been different if she had come with Katsuki. He always managed to make mundane things more interesting. Hell, the first night they spent together was watching cooking shows. Estelle never cared for them; why would she? But watching them with Katsuki was like watching a completely different show simply because of his commentary.

Now that she was thinking about it, why on earth was he watching nature shows with her? It just seemed so unlike him to enjoy them, yet he did not comment about disliking them. Was she just making him suffer through stuff he didn't like? Maybe she should be more considerate and allow him to watch things he enjoyed a little more often.

'Hold on, why do I even care?' Estelle could only hiss in her mind, a heat in her stomach that made her feel bizarre, becoming a further nuisance in her skull. Shaking her head to rid herself of her jumping thoughts, Estelle focused on the dress thrown on top of the door. Snarling, Estelle clasped onto the thin piece of cloth before blasting the door open.
