Drawing Stars [Bakugou Katsuki]

viii. radiance of summer

Summary:

Summer break means trips to the beach. Together with your friends, you all try to make to best of the holiday before school starts. Under the radiating sun, you find yourself both excited and nervous.

Once you were gone, Bakugou clenched his fists tightly. He didn't know what to do or say when you invited him. He let out a frustrated groan and began walking home. On the way home, he spotted you and your friends heading to the train station together. For some odd reason, his eyes landed on you immediately, watching as you conversed with your friends. Almost immediately, he looked away because he felt like you were going to catch him staring at you. An annoyed sigh left his lips as he walked towards the other exit of the mall. He wanted to avoid you at all costs. Instead of going through the same entrance, Bakugou decided to use another entrance to the train station. He managed to successfully avoid seeing you again on that day.

The next few days, Bakugou was left with two decisions. All he had to do was either accept or refuse your invitation. He thought that he would've refused right away but when he noticed the way you looked at him, he found himself hesitating. Were you really desperate on getting him to join the trip? Everyone else was going to be there too, so its not like you have no friends there. To be truthful, Bakugou didn't really get along with his classmates because of his personality. When he remembered you stating that he were a nice person, he found himself growing red. He didn't understand how you can easily change your point of view so quickly and frankly, he's not too concerned with that right now.

'Stupid Girl.' he cursed before getting off the couch. Bakugou remembered the smallest things. So he remembered when you told him that you didn't actually hate him. He couldn't comprehend your feelings at all. For the first time, Bakugou thought that a girl's feelings were annoying and hard to decipher.

It was late at night when his phone rang in his house. His parents were already asleep so he decided to take it outside, leaving the apartment unlocked as he gazed at the night sky momentarily. Bakugou answered the call and pressed his phone against his ear.

"I-Is this the Bakugou residence?" Just as he was thinking about you, you had to call. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he inhaled through his nose. Your voice sounded somewhat nervous and quiet, he didn't miss the fact that you were talking in formal manner also.

"The fuck you sounding so formal for, dumbass? You're calling my phone." came his reply.

"What!? That's rude, it could've been your parents so I had to! And Midoriya-kun sent me your phone number instead!? I didn't pay that much attention to the numbers." you had replied in an angry tone at first but your words become muffled in the end. Bakugou could imagine your slightly red cheeks and you crossing your arms over your chest.

"So what the fuck do you want?" the male replied.

"Do you have a habit of swearing in your house?"

"You're in no position to question me about my private life."

"Shut up." came your response. He didn't even have to see you to know what you were calling from your bedroom. Bakugou didn't reply and opted to wait until you spoke. The male was right to wait patiently because he heard you shift slightly on the bed.

"So, are you coming? To the trip? I kinda forced it on you too......so you might not be free on that day as well. It's a two day trip. Apparently, they reserved a place to stay already so we don't have to worry. All we need is our beach stuff, clothes, towels and of course, money. I heard that there's going to be a festival too!" Bakugou couldn't help but just listen to your rambling. Even though you sounded so sad and disappointed at first, your tone had changed once you began listing the things you were going to do there.
