LOST // BAKUGO X OC

Conversations

Katsuki Bakugo wished he was anywhere else.

It was a dull Thursday afternoon, and a few of his classmates surrounded him as he opened his packed lunch. The school day was spent around the extras that followed him daily, which he put up with since he had no other choice. He was just enjoying his spicy meal in peace, wondering what the otherworldly female was currently doing before he was jerked out of his thoughts by the redhead next to him.

"So, I told Bakubro that we know," Kirishima initiated within the silence, his teeth peeking out from his broad lips.

"You did?!" Ashido screeched loudly, causing the others to wince from the abrupt noise.

Katsuki's hands froze just before he picked up the unopened bento, his eyes remaining taut on his lunch as his lips tightened. It was as if he had something bitter in his mouth but had no way of fixing it since they were shut from anticipation. He waited impatiently for them to reach the punchline, his heart picking up speed as he resumed opening his meal.

"Doesn't everyone know, though?" Sero questioned innocently, his eyes flickering up to the ceiling thoughtfully.

"I mean, it is pretty obvious," Kaminari interjected, an entertained smirk lining his face. It was evident by his expression that the male was thoroughly enjoying poking the blonde with this conversation.

"Yeah, I know! But, Bakugo doesn't know that we know!" Kirishima continued, his eyes flickering back to Katsuki as he prodded the blonde to speak.

The blond held his groan within his throat, his eyes closing as he held back from squeezing his bento that he picked up too hard and ruining his meal. Taking a breath, his ruby eyes trailed to the extras expectantly, his mind already aware of where this conversation was heading.

Since the redhead commented about Estelle and him a few days ago, Katsuki suddenly became aware of the looks the duo would receive whenever they were seen together. Knowing eyes darted to each other, grazing over them in a way that made him want to scream. It was aggravating; he would have preferred the ignorance of not knowing they were aware. But, now that the truth settled in, he was constantly inches away from turning around and ricocheting off the walls. The only reason he had managed to compose himself was that letting his mouth run would let Estelle in the know, and he wasn't prepared for that just yet.

"Dammit!" The assertive male grumbled in annoyance, his eyes turning to them in exasperation. Gritting his teeth, he knew he had no choice but to follow up with the question they were clearly trying to get him to ask. "What do you know?"

"That you have the hots for Estelle!" Kaminari cooed out mockingly, his grin too punch-worthy for the other blonde to fathom.

Even though Katsuki knew what they were alluding to, the electric male's choice of words lit a fire under him. Suddenly feeling like the walls were closing in on him, Katsuki's eyes fell into slits as his head snapped towards Kaminari. A loud clang caused tables around them to turn their heads, but when they realised it was just the loud male's action of slamming his hands against the table, they quickly lost interest.

Taking a deep breath to prevent screaming out loud; it helped to know that the extras couldn't hear the yells within his mind, which were too chaotic for any mindreader to grasp. Finally, he managed to sputter, "You don't know anything! Shut the hell up!"

"Woah, man, chillax! Nobody will say anything!" Kirishima interrupted, his hands waving back and forth, hoping it would ease his friend's worries. It seemed to do the trick, as the tense shoulders of the blonde slowly began to unwind as he glanced away.

"Tch, whatever," He hissed back, his head unable to turn around as he felt the heat rise within his cheeks. Despite Kirishima's warning that they would talk about it, it still wasn't a conversation he expected from the extras, and now that it was happening, Katsuki wished someone would change the topic before he melted or exploded. Whichever came first.
