seashell (snipet)

hi i'm back again, this is just a snipet of a new story im writing. i'm pretty proud of it so far, so tell me what you all think!

Bakugo was walking along his favorite shore. The shore he always goes to when he and his parents fight. This time, they fought because he got an A- on one of his assignments. They had very high expectations. The only reason he was trying to become a pro hero was because of his parents. He actually wanted to be a dancer. Dancing was so beautiful to him. However, because of his quirk and dark look, no teacher wanted to teach him, afraid he'll just ruin their studio and career.

The sun was setting, a sight he loved to look at. It was calming to him. It made all of his doubts disappear. All of his worries and deepest anxieties just leave. He was so mesmerized by the sight, the only thing that brought him out of his calm state was something sharp he stepped on. He yelped lightly and looked down. It was a seashell. A conch, in fact. He grew confused.

That particular shore wasn't known for shells washing up on shore. It almost never ever happened. The seashell, however, was very beautiful. He slowly picked it up. He examined the pretty blue, pink and white colors. They were sorta pastel. He has a thing for pastels even if he dressed like he was going to a funeral every day.

Bakugo remembered something his grandma had told him when she was still alive. When she brought him to that exact beach and found a seashell for the first time in her life. Bakugo was only 6 and the shell was the first, and the last till now, that he had seen. His grandma's words replayed in his head.

*Flashback*

"When you find a seashell like this, put it up to your ear. You might be able to hear the waves of the ocean." She said as she put it up to her ear, before putting it next to katsukis.

Katsuki listened carefully. He drowned out the world and heard faint waves. His eyes widened as he looked up to his grandma who was smiling.

"That's so cool!" Katsuki exclaimed.

His grandma chuckled before bringing it up to her face. "If you're lucky, you can blow into it and make a call. A call for those who live in the ocean."

Katsuki furrowed his brow, "Who could possibly live out there?" He asked curiously.

"If you're as lucky as me, maybe you'll meet them one day." His grandma smiled, setting down the shell in the water. Katsuki watched with curious eyes.

"You've met someone like that?" Katsuki asked again.

"Yeah, but you have to keep that a secret." She winked and started walking, her grandson following behind.

*Flashback over*

Bakugo smiled at the thought of his grandma. He missed her dearly. She was the only grandparent he had. He never heard anything about his grandpa, and on his dad's side, nobody really cared to visit or even contact them. He wasn't exactly sad about that thought, because he was content with the one he did have. Of course, he asked about his grandpa, but his grandma always told him that his grandpa was somewhere else. Katsuki always assumed that meant he died. He accepted it.

He was curious about what his grandma meant by she had met someone from the sea. That was until he grew up a bit and just figured she had told him that to excite him. There's no way something from the sea could look like a person. No way.

However, he was curious if it could make a sound. That was the only thing that sounded logical to him at his age that his grandma had told him. He let his curiosity get the best of him. He brought it up to his face. He found a little hole going through it. He figured that was the thing he was looking for. He put it to his mouth and blew.
