'Okay, I guess I'll try on this... this one too I guess... oh, this one doesn't seem so bad.'

"Why are you grabbing so many swimsuits? You only need one." Katsuki exhaled as he sat down on a bench.

"Options." I retorted.

"The fuck you need options for? Not like you're ever gonna wear it again."

"Hmm, partly true, but I still need one that fits me comfortably and that I look good in."

"You girls are so fucking complicated these days..." he mumbled.

"I heard that." I snapped from inside the dressing room.

"Whatever, just hurry up so we can leave."

"Hey, how about you go look for one of the girls for me, instead of sitting around and bitching about how long I'm taking." I ordered.

"Now why the hell should I go and do that? Also, why do you even need one of them? You're here with me remember?" Katsuki retorted.

"Because I need their opinions on how I look in this swimsuit. And maybe even some suggestions." I explained.

Katsuki was silent. This my curiosity. As I was about to reach over the open the curtain, it was quickly slid open.

"KATSUKI WHAT THE FUCK! I COULD HAVE BEEN NAKED!!" I screamed.

"How the fuck are you gonna get an opinion if you ain't presenting what your wearing, dumb ass."

There I was, in nothing but an electric blue two-piece, standing in front of Katsuki Bakugou, whose face turned as red as Kirishima's hair.

'Seriously where is Katsuki and who is this imposter...'

Katsuki's POV

'WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST DO. WHY THE FUCK DID I DO THAT? GOD DAMMIT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEEE!!!!!'

I fucking hate myself so much right now. Why the hell did I do that? Now I have to... look at her... and give her an opinion.

(Y/n) was standing in the closet covering her body, but weirdly not closing the curtain. Why isn't she closing it? She chomped my head off for opening it in the first place, so why isn't her dumb ass closing it and yelling at me in the process.

"Well, are you gonna give me your shitty opinion or not." She growled.

'What the fuck, this bitch is so confusing.'

I huffed and looked at from head to toe. The moment my eyes left her head, some weird ass feeling came upon me. Excitement or some shit. I felt my face getting hot which is fucking weird.

'She doesn't look too ba- WHAT THE FUCK! UGH, I CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT ANYMORE!'

"THAT'S IT, I'M OUT!" I yelled before leaving her in that changing room.

End of POV

"Asshole, where the hell are you going!" I called out as hedgehog boy over there stormed out.

No response.

"Ugh! Why the fuck did he even try giving me an opinion if he couldn't even do just that!"

I closed the dressing room curtain and looked at myself in the mirror. Too bright of a colour.

Back to Bakugou's POV

"Fuck this shit. This is exactly why I hate shopping with others. What a waste of my time."

Suddenly, I heard someone call out to me.

"Hey, BakuBro!"

I looked behind me and saw Kirishima speed walking towards me. I stood in place as I waited for him to catch up.

"What's up? Where's (y/n)?" He asked.

"Swimsuit store." I replied.

"You left her? Why? Did something happen?" He wondered.

'Something happened alright...'

"She got annoying."

The last thing I saw before turning around to continue walking was his eyes widening and his jaw-dropping.

"Annoying? What do you mean?" He piqued.

I huffed before I answered him.

"She was trying to be difficult as shit for no good reason."

'Liar'

'What the fuck?'

"You sure it was (y/n) who was being difficult?" He mumbled.

"No shit, why else would I say that." I confronted.

Then, Kirishima suddenly walked faster and stood in my way.

"Ooooh, I don't know. Maybe because you did something that was too embarrassing for you to admit, hence why you're putting the blame on her."

It was now silent.

"*GASP* WAS I RIGHT? DUDE WHAT HAPPENED!" He exclaimed.

"SHUT UP!"

"Sorry, sorry. So... what happened?"

End of POV

'Fucking Bakugou, just ditches me like that. This is why I didn't want Kirishima leaving me to shop with him.'

I was still in the bathing suit store and couldn't find anything that I actually liked or thought I would look good in. Eventually, I gave up and left the store. Shorts and a t-shirt it is...

I walked around the mall and eventually met up with Momo & Jirou.

"(Y/n), hey, how's your shopping going so far?" Momo politely asked.

"Ehh, could've been a bit better." I admitted. Don't see why I should lie.

"How unfortunate, why is that?" She asked concerned.

"Yeah, where's Kirishima? I thought he was with you?" Jirou added.

I then explained to the two girls how I ended up shopping with Bakugou and then later getting ditched.

"That's too bad." Jirou frowned.

"Yeah, I left the store since I couldn't find anything that I thought looked right..." I sighed.

"How about we go look again? This time you'll have someone you know and feel comfortable with to help you." Momo suggested.

I agreed with her suggestion and ended up going back to the store with them. Momo & I were browsing through the collection of swimsuits that were on the hangers while Jirou sat by and waited. I took notice of it and asked her if she needed one too.

"Well... not really. I mean, I don't really plan on doing much swimming while we're there..."

"That's unfortunate, I found something that would look perfect on you too.." Momo frowned as she held out a yellow swimsuit.

Jirou's eyes widened as she gripped her shirt tightly. (Heart squeeze)

"On second thought!" She exclaimed as she grabbed the swimsuit out of her hand and rushed to try it on.

'I guess she couldn't deal with seeing Momo sad.'

A few moments had passed and Jirou came out of the dressing room with the swimsuit on. She hid her body and stood awkwardly, she must have felt uncomfortable.

"It looks so good!" I complimented.

"Really?" She questioned.

"Yes! It fits you perfectly!"

She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled indicating that she felt more comfortable and confident in it.

"(Y/n)! Look at this!" Momo called out as she pulled out a (f/c) (two piece/one piece) that went off the shoulder.
(Like this. Just in your preferred colour & design)

"That's actually really cute." I said as I gazed at it.

"Right! Try it on." She suggested.

I happily took the swimsuit from her and went to try it on.

'Yasss. I like what I see!' I internally complimented.

I opened the curtain to reveal the results.

"Well? How do I look?"

"It looks so good!" Momo cheered.

"Yeah! It fits you perfectly!" Jirou added.

'Daamn, I do look good.'

"I think I'll buy it." I smiled before going back to the dressing room and putting my regular clothes back on.

After purchasing my swimsuit, I decided to part from the girls to go buy my other needed essentials. When finished, I went to go wait for everyone at the "meeting spot".

When arriving, I met with my favourite broccoli boi.

"Izuku, hi!" I happily greeted as I approached him.

"(Y-Y/n)!!" He jumped.

I looked at him concerned. I didn't mean to startle him.

"S-sorry, I was just spacing out." he sighed.

"Hm? Why's that?" I asked before taking a seat next to him.

Izuku's POV

'Oh no! What am I supposed to tell her? I can't tell her that I was thinking of when I seen her & Kacchan together! I need to think of something!'

"Uh, I don't know!" I accidentally yelped.

'Way to go Midoriya. Way to NOT play it cool.'

(Y/n) had a concerned look on her face. She's so cute... w-WAIT NO THAT'S WRONG! SHE'S MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND! WHY DOES IT SUDDENLY FEEL HOT?

"Is it just me or is it hot in here!"

Her head titled.

"Um, Izuku are you sure you're okay?"

"Y-YES I'M SURE! JUST FEELING A BIT THIRSTY! DO YOU HAVE ANY WATER?"

"Y-yeah, here." She sounded a bit frightened.

'Idiot! Why're you yelling so much!?'

'Wait I'm yelling?'

I grabbed the water from her and started chugging it down. What's happening right now? Why am I acting like this?

(Y/n) started to look a bit uncomfortable and awkward.

"Izuku, I'm gonna go to the washroom real quick okay? I'll be right back." She announced before walking away.

'Okay, I can take this time to calm down.'

End of POV

I paced to the washroom as my face flushed an extremely bright red. Izuku's panicky moments were cute but also concerning. I had to leave him though, he needed to calm down a bit. He was getting himself too overwhelmed and that's never a good thing. When entering the washroom, I went straight to the sink and splashed some cold water on my face.

I stayed in there for a minute or two before deciding to go back. Exiting the washroom, I spotted a sketchy looking person sitting beside Izuku.

'Who's that?'

I walked closer and saw the fear in his eyes. He was in trouble!

"Izuku."

The moment I called out his name, both him and the stranger looked up.

"Are you okay?" I played dumb. If I tried to rescue him right off the bat, he probably could've died right then and there.

He was quiet for a very brief moment.

"I-I'm fine! Don't come any closer!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, you were with a friend already! My apologies." The stranger said.

"It was a good talk Midoriya." He finished before leaving.

I went straight to Izuku and supportively put my arm around him while he was catching his breath. (Didn't mention it but he was being choked)

"Who the hell is that?!"

"Wait, Shigaraki!" Izuku exclaimed.

"Shigaraki?!"

"All for One... what's he after?"

Shigaraki stopped for a moment before continuing to walk away.

"Dunno... What you should worry about is meeting me again. Cause that's when you'll die..." he replied.

After all was said, he disappeared. His sinister voice rang throughout my ears. It sent chills down my spine.

"Deku! (Y/n)! Are you two all right? Who was that?" Uraraka shouted from afar.

I looked up and saw her come dashing towards us.

"Shigaraki... Tomura..." I whispered.

"Oh my gosh! Hold on, I'll call the police!"

She quickly took her phone out of her pocket and called the police. After a while, they came and the mall was temporarily shut down.

Later that day, Izuku was apparently taken in for questioning. I don't know what exactly happened with Shigaraki and Izuku, but what I do know is that he has grown more fearful afterwards.

To be continued!

Okay so this chapter is a bit shorter than my usual chapters but I just really needed to update. I could've made a Bakugou special if I updated sooner too, but unfortunately the procrastination and mainly lack of time took over. But yay we're finally getting closer to the training camp arc aka, the arc where my big ideas begin👀 STAY TUNED!
