ੈ✩‧₊˚ chapter seventeen - bakugou's night

"Does anybody know where my phone is?!" Mina questions hurriedly, pacing around the house in search.

"WHO THE FUCK ATE THE LAST SLICE OF PIZZA I WAS SAVING?" Kaminari shouts with a groan, slumped up against the refrigerator, letting out all the cold air.

Kirishima snickers beside Bakugou, chomping down a slice of pizza with his shark teeth, most likely the specific piece that Kaminari was looking for.

This was a manifestation of hell. The town of Esta had literally nothing to do, unless you drove two hours into the more populated city area. Katsuki groans and leans his head back on the couch.

His only entertainment used to be the nerdy girl from the bookstore, but she hadn't been there for about four days now. Maybe she was sick? Pfft, as if Katsuki would care. Mina had been bitching to Katsuki non-stop about the disappearance of her new best friend.

Although Katsuki said he didn't care, it wasn't his fault if his ears seemed to perk up when Iyana's name was mentioned. He had heard Mina call Hakagure last night wondering if Iyana was okay. Katsuki learned that she had actually been grounded for going out, which was hilarious.

The entire day seemed to move slowly. Specifically, the past four days seemed to go extra slow to Katsuki. As much as he secretly liked his friends, they were driving him insane. Katsuki wouldn't say he had OCD, but he just hated things being dirty, which is why is room was always clean, unlike the rest of his roommates.

He decided to take a nap, something to atleast pass time with. Even the internet here was shit, which wasn't surprising since they didn't depend much on internet usage.

The vacation was a nice break from the stress of touring and the music industry. He didn't like to talk about his popularity to people, since it made them treat him differently. Katsuki had never been one to think about other people, but he did seem to think about Iyana a lot.

Katsuki had everything handed to him on a silver platter, but that nerd just wouldn't take the hint. Seriously, he even gave her a bracelet! That was practically a friendship declaration.

Katsuki doesn't really understand the weird feeling in the pit of his stomach and his heart oddly racing when he sees Iyana. It happened when they first locked eyes when they first met, when he caught her wrist on the icecream trip, and also in the car ride to the amusement park and back.

Obviously, anybody with working eyes could see that Iyana was fucking hot, but he's met fucking Megan Fox and didn't feel this shitty feeling. Maybe it was because Iyana didn't know Katsuki at all. People change when they find out you're famous. Maybe.. Katsuki should hangout with Iyana so much that he gets sick of it, like his current situation with his roommates.

~~~

His nap was surprisingly long, which was unusual for Katsuki since he wasn't the type to take long naps. He groggily opens his eyes, it was it was around 11 pm at night, which meant that it would be hard for him to fall asleep again later.

The house was quiet, the light sounds of snoring emitting from the upstairs bedrooms.

Even though Mina and Kirishima thought they were being sneaky, it was so obvious they had something going on when they would always have hushed conversations in secluded corners. It was disgusting and made Katsuki grimace.

He gets up off the couch and freshens himself up. He changes into a new pair of clothes and ties up his shoes. After becoming famous, it's like Bakugou had lost all his privacy. Everybody knew everything about him, it was unnerving. In the small town of Esta, nobody even batted an eye at him.
