Poison || Katsuki Bakugou

14.

I had been standing in front of my closet for what felt like hours as I pulled out multiple options. Every time I thought I had a good outfit put together, I quickly changed my mind and second-guessed myself. I felt a lot of pressure thinking about making a good impression on Shoto's friends, not to mention if I bumped into Bakugou. Even if I didn't know what I was going to say I at least wanted to look good.

A chill went down my spine as I looked over at the clock, 6:15. Shoto was picking me up in 45 minutes so I needed to just find something quick. I pushed myself up and rushed back over to the closet.

Flipping through the many hangers I finally stumbled upon a white eyelet mini dress. I hadn't ever worn it because I had felt way too insecure in the past to even try it on. Kat gifted it to me about a year ago in an attempt to get me out there. I vividly remember rolling my eyes upon her suggestion to wear it out one night and get all the boys attention. She was so naive sometimes. Shrugging my shoulders I quickly pulled it down from the hanger and hold it up to my body.

Walking out in front of my full-length mirror I stared intently at the way the white contrasted against my long black hair. I already had straightened it so it looked extra-long and shiny flowing down the length of my back. I turn towards my bed and hastily take change my clothes dropping the dress over my head.

Feeling the fabric hug around my waist I let out a sigh straightening the rest of the dress over my hips. Putting a few loose strands behind my ear as I quickly return back to the full-length mirror and look myself over again.

I had to admit the dress looked amazing. I hardly recognized myself as I scanned the length of my body. The dress was a little shorter than I was used to and hugged every curve of my body as I stared into my own reflection.

Turning my head back I noticed that the time was now 6:45. My eyes widen as I race back into my closet to find a pair of nude shoes to match. I still needed to put makeup on so there was no time to mess around anymore. I grab a pair of strappy nude heels laying at the bottom of my closet and quickly put them on as I continue moving.

Hopping into my room as I buckle my left shoe on quickly race into the master bathroom. I never wore much makeup but thought to run some mascara through my eyelashes and apply a light pink blush to my cheeks.

I raise my eyebrows at my reflection. Not too shabby. Everything was actually looking pretty good. For the first time, I wasn't insecure about the person looking back at me in the mirror and it was a powerful feeling. Leaning forward I look for anything out of place before running a sheer gloss over my lips.

Hearing my phone ring in my room cause me to snap out of my narcissistic moment and grab my purse. I already knew Shoto was here even if it was only 6:55. The boy was never late so it wasn't surprising. As I race down the stairs I quickly bring the phone to my ear.

"Hey"

"Hey, I'm -"

I quickly pull open my front door and am face to face with Shoto. He's stood on my front steps with a shocked expression. The phone was still pressed to his ear as he stared at me.

"Here," he sighed out as I laughed. He was wearing a pair of fitted black jeans paired with matching shoes and jacket. Underneath he wore a simple white top, but somehow Shoto made it look expensive.

"Ready to go?" I smile as he blinked his eyes a few times.

"Y-Yeah I'm ready" he smiled pulling his phone down slowly from his ear and sticking it back into his pocket.

Closing my door behind me I quickly lock the front door and follow behind Shoto. He was already a few steps down when I finally was at his side.

"My cars right here Misaki" he lifted his hand and pointed to the large SUV parked in front of us. I nod my head at him as I step toward the door pulling the handle open and scooting myself up into the seat trying my best not to flash any people passing by due to the shortness of my dress.
