Steal Your Girl (Katsuki Bakugou)

Chappy 36

After the brief conversation with the stranger, they parted ways. Though both didn't share their identities with each other, they both offered each other a tiny amount of relief from their problems. And they were grateful to each other for that.

(Y/n) decided to go to the shop to get her milk. It was already getting late but the girl didn't feel like heading back home any time sooner.

After buying the milk, she had sat on a bench that faced out to sea. Her back was facing the main road, mostly because she wanted a bit of privacy.

Privacy, because at the moment, she was chomping on the cookies like it was her main source of oxygen. At first, she had decided to have only one for good measure but after realizing how good they really were, she went on a rampage. Cookie crumbs littered all around her mouth, some falling on her jacket as she threw in one after the other into her mouth.

A girl is allowed to sometimes eat like a hungry slob without those 'act like a lady' shit so (Y/n) was taking advantage of that.

She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand before looking inside the pack again. Mitsuki had really done her justice by packing a lot of cookies, much to (Y/n)'s joy.

The girl smiled hungrily as she fished another out, immediately taking a large bite of it, paying no mind to the crumbs falling on her lap and jacket.

"Fuck, you really are a pig."

(Y/n) knitted her eyebrows and turned to look the owner of the voice who appeared beside her. Her eyes widened as she shot up from the bench. On instinct, she hid the pack behind her back while her other hand quickly wiped the crumbs off her lips as she hurriedly swallowed.

"Katsuki uh..." the girl cleared her voice, her face growing warm in embarrassment. Though, that couldn't stop her heart from racing at his unexpected presence.

"You got some more shit on your mouth," he added in nonchalance, his crimson-colored eyes frowning at a spot on her mouth.

(Y/n)'s flushed even more as she wiped her mouth again, this time with her sleeve for efficiency. She also quickly brushed off the crumbs that had fallen on her lap and jacket.

Fuck, of all the times to come and see me here! Wait...he's actually here...

The girl stopped her actions and looked up at Katsuki who was staring at her. The atmosphere between them was still awkward and stuffy but (Y/n) couldn't help but speak.

"What are..." she shifted from one foot to the other, her eyes flickering between him and the side. "What are you doing here?"

Katsuki scoffed and looked away, his frown deepening. "That old hag forced me to read it."

"Oh."

With those words, the girl couldn't help but feel a bit hurt. If she hadn't given Mitsuki then, he wouldn't have read it in the first place.

She brought back the pack from behind her, her dejected eyes falling on it as she played with the opening of the paper.

"Did she also force you to come here?" she inquired in a small low voice, magnifying her hurt.

Silence shrouded the two as the ash-blond hesitated to answer.

"...No."

The girl's heart skipped a small beat as she looked up at him. He was still looking away. She exhaled happily, a tiny smile appearing on her lips. The male's eyes darted to her and the girl instantly looked away, her small smile disappearing.
