falling behind | ✰ katsuki bakugou

ੈ✩‧₊˚ chapter eleven - she's here!

Days dragged by slowly. If course, Mina had been coming to the bookstore (rather frequently with Bakugou) but it was only for ten minutes or so. Iyana was so bored out of her mind that she had almost forgotten that Hakagure was arriving later today.

Iyana was excited the second she realized. She had been laying on her bed, tracking Hakagure's flight. The flight had reached the airport in the city. Since the small town of Esta didn't have an airport, Hakagure would need to take a bus to reach back.

Quickly, the brunette pulls out her phone to text Hakagure. Maybe, Iyana could message her later and let her sleep off the jetlag, but Iyana dismisses that idea.

Iyana
did u land safely?

Iyana was in the middle of typing out another message, but within seconds, she got a text back. Iyana shouldn't be surprised at this point, Hakagure practically lived on her phone all the time.

Hakagure
yep!
js got out of the bus, It lwk
reeked of that old people smell
(⁠*⁠﹏⁠*⁠;⁠)

Iyana
tuff

Iyana stared at her phone screen for a solid second before typing again.

Iyana

(⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠￣⁠;⁠)

Hakagure
shut up yk I do
anyways ill stop by in a bit
so sit right pookie ;)

Iyana lets out a giggle at the response, typing out a quick reply before setting her phone down

Iyana
kay luv u

The phone vibrates in the pocket of her cargo sweatpants, but Iyana already knows it's a text from Hakagure. She smiles to herself and leaves it.

Earlier that morning Iyana tried asking permission to her parents to go to the amusement park located in the city. It wasn't a suprise that they said no, but it still hurt Iyana a bit to hear. Then again, maybe she could join Mina and her group next time.

Standing up straight, Iyana decides to be useful and re-organize the books on the shelves. It was something customers often did, they would pick up a book and leave it in a completely different isle than it's supposed to be.

Suddenly, Iyana heard the sound of the front door creaking open and shut. A familiar voice speaks, "Iyaaaa?"

Iyana's head perks up at the familiar nickname. Hakagure. Iyana lets out a grin. "I'm in the fiction books isle!"

She hears the sound of footsteps approaching. When Iyana looks to her left, she sees Hakagure pass by the isle, going for the wrong one.

Iyana rolls her eyes, "Over here, idiot!"

The footsteps retract as Hakagure comes into Iyana's sight. They both let out big grins before Iyana running to hug eachother.

"You need to tell me all the stories from your trip."

Hakagure giggles, "I came loaded."

At the same time the bookstore door creaks open and shut again. Without looking, Iyana assumes it's an elderly customer, as usual.

She breaks out of the hug and shouts a 'welcome!' before going back to organizing the bookshelves.

"Iyana you will literally not guess what happened on the trip!" Hakagure squeals, standing behind Iyana as she watches her organize.
