CALLED ID: Camie

Shinso who was making his final rounds before lunch furrows his brows seeing the caller ID. Hesitantly he answers.

"SHINSO!" He pulls the phone away from his ears, afraid that Camie had burst an eardrum

"Camie what is it?" He groans

"Y/N! HAVE YOU SEEN HER!? HAVE YOU TALKED TO HER!? HOW IS SHE!?" All these questions from Camie put Shinso on high alert.

"Camie, calm down and tell me what happened" Shinso talks calmly although his heart was slightly panicking at the thought of something happening to his friend.

"Shinso I fucked up! I fucked up big time! When we went to the restaurant on Friday I slipped up and reminded her about Inasa" Camie clearly in distress explains, "since then she hasn't answered any of my calls and I'm worried, I'm scared! Shinso you know what happened before!"

"Okay Camie calm down, she went to work and I saw her earlier but she's was just focused on work"

"O-okay where is she now?" Camie asks as it clicks in Shinso's mind.

'crap she's on the roof

what if she jumps!?'

"Camie I'll call you back, I'll handle it"

While exhaling a cloud of smoke the door barges open as Shinso runs up and hugs you tightly, catching you off guard.

"Toshi what the-"

"I'm glad you're safe" he huffs inbetween breaths before letting go, "Camie called and-"

You take a deep sigh realising where he was going with it, "and you guys thought I'd off myself again?" You chuckle

"y/n, it's not funny!" Shinso's voice was firm and serious as your smile fades

"I'm okay Toshi, yes I was surprised when Camie mentioned that but I was the one who opened the conversation and joked about proposals in the first place" you explain

"Then why haven't you been answering her? She's worried, she was about to cry on the phone and not to mention burst my ear drums" he complains pulling out a box of cigarettes before lighting a stick

"Sorry bout that" you chuckle, "I guess I just wanted to be alone for a bit, I'll call her later" smiling at the clearly stressed Shinso

"You know if it gets too much, I can always help" he offers as you shake your head in response

"I know Toshi but I don't want to always rely on your quirk, I've already delayed my mourning.." your voice trails off, "once I open the box, I know I'll be okay"

"There's no rush" he reassures you as send a thankful smile at him

After your shift you walk to the nearest grocery store in an attempt to buy actual food rather than the usual convenience store food since it was the end of the week. While browsing through the snack aisle and picking out a handful of crisps you look at your basket.

'I said I was getting real food but why is there more snacks than vegetables?' Questioning your choices.

Suddenly a trolley bumps into your back causing you to stumble forward

"Oh my! I'm so sorry!" The familiar voice of a woman called out

"It's okay" you mutter rubbing your back while looking at the ground.

"y/n?" The woman calls out to you as you dart your eyes into the direction of the voice. The familiar crimson eyes peer back as you blankly stare at Mitsuki.

"Mrs Bakugo!"

"Darling! it is you!" She walks over and throws your snacks into her trolley so she could squeeze you tightly, "wow! You're even more beautiful than I last saw you! When did you get back!? What are you doing now? Come to dinner!"

"I um.." you rub the back of your neck nervously

Is this an invite or a threat?

***

When Mitsuki invited you to dinner, it really meant her dragging you straight to the house after grocery shopping. Although it didn't feel too bad helping her put the groceries away, it felt like old times. Also helping Mitsuki cook her signature spicy japanese curry that Katsuki loved.

"The food is almost done, you can rest for now y/n, Katsuki finishes work soon" Mitsuki smiles, "you can take a quick nap in his room if you want, you must be tired from work but you still let me drag you here" she boops your nose, "you're still kind as ever" she chuckles

Slowly making your way up the familiar stair case into Katsuki's room, it felt as if a wave of nostalgia hit you all at once. The nights you spent here after your fathers death when you struggled to sleep in your own home. Just having Katsuki and his family there gave you a sense of comfort. A bitter smile spreads across your face.

You lie down on his soft mattress. The bed definitely felt a lot bigger when you were younger but then again you were kids. You snuggle under the duvet covers inhaling the scent of Bakugo.

'I miss those times' the last thought in your head before you succumb to sleep.
