SELF/CONTROL (katsuki bakugou x reader)

mall day☆

Unedited☆ﾟ.*

It all started when Tooru suggested that we all go shopping together, as a class, after learning that we all were going to the Forest Lodge. The class was riddled with excitement and quickly agreed, all except Bakugou and Todoroki of course. I couldn't do anything about Todoroki, of course, but it only took around 20 minutes to convince Katsuki that it was absolutely imperative that Katsuki went. And when he said no to that too, I just shrugged and sighed, saying that Kirishima and Denki should be good enough bathing suit judges. That got him onboard in a second. I didn't know what it was about Kirishima and Denki, but Katsuki certainly didn't trust them with me.

Fast forward to today, as Class 1-A of Yuuei High strolled into the Kiyashi-Ward shopping mall. It was amusing, seeing everyone's casual wear. Especially with Kirishima's horrible style. It was a hot day, so I ended up inadvertently matching outfits with Mina. Not exactly the same, but I wore an oversized (f/a) shirt that almost hung off of one of my shoulders, tucked into shorts and finished with a pair of (f/c) converse. I brought a plain striped messenger bag to carry my bags.

Anyways, we stood in the center of this huge shopping plaza, children running around and older couples strolling by. It was quite beautiful, and large, judging by what the directory showed. I studied the floor plans, figuring out the quickest route to get everything that the packing list contained, which was a lot. My mom, while sad to have me gone, was excited for me and gave me her credit card, so I didn't exactly have a limit.

I turned to tell everyone which stores would be the best, however, everyone had already split up, leaving me alone with Katsuki, Kirishima, and Denki. Well, this was going to be fun.

"We humbly await your commands, captain!" Kirishima joked, lifting his hand to his forehead like a soldier. I laughed, shaking my head and punching his arm lightly.

"Knock it off, people are staring." I reprimanded, well tried to at least, while also trying to contain my laughter. We started our root as I animatedly talked to Kirishima while Bakugou and Denki walked closely behind us.

We came across a store with horribly flamboyant clothes, and I pulled the boys inside, forcing them to try on outfits for me. I sat on the bench that was situated in the middle of the changing rooms, playing mindlessly on my phone as I heard a voice from inside one of the stalls.

"You're fucking brain dead if you think I'm coming out like this." Bakugou shouted and I chuckled.

"C'mon Katsuki, you gotta come out one of these days." I joked, a double meaning very apparent.

"Fuck off!" He growled and I rolled my eyes, standing up and walking over to his dressing room, ripping the curtain open. My eyes widened as he was halfway through pulling a bright pink polo shirt over his head, still wearing the orange and green plaid shorts. I began laughing and Katsuki sputtered, closing the curtains with a string of curses.

Denki and Kirishima came out and I whipped my phone out, opening snapchat and video taping their faux-cat walk, Denki decked out in a lemon yellow crop top with neon green shorts and purple birkenstocks, a bright pink boa around his neck and red heart shaped glasses. Kirshima wore only a neon orange body suit, and a holographic fanny pack to cover down there, opting for a blue boa. They strutted down the changing room hallway, posing at the end. I double over, tears coming streaking my face as I laughed so hard my abs began to ache. I waited for them to change back, composing myself and wondering what Katsuki was thinking. He'd barely said one word to me all day.

KATSUKI POV (3rd Person)

(beginning of chapter)

Katsuki watched with anger as Kirishima made (Y/N) laugh, tuning out whatever Denki was talking about. It wasn't uncommon for Bakugou to be angry, he wasn't exactly known for his amazing temper, however usually he was angry for a legitimate reason, not for things like this. He knew it wasn't (Y/N)'s laughter, not that he'd admit it to anyone, but he actually quite enjoyed her laughter. It was melodic, though sometimes sounded like a dying seal, but even then it was cute. Cute? That wasn't in Bakugou's vocabulary, until recently. Since he met her, a lot of things have been changing. And he didn't know whether he liked it or not.
