Here they are, walking through the jungle once more in silence, but this time an uncomfortable silence. Bakugou's face is still glowing a tint of red as Kirishima walks behind him with his tail between his legs. He can practically feel the red heads eyes on the back of his head burning into the back of it. Waiting for Bakugou to say something, make a noise, or even sneeze to break the silence. None of that occurs as they continue walking, thoughts brewing in their minds not saying a word. While thoughts brainstorm in their heads they continue to keep a look out for the flower. Seeming that is the point they are out here in the first place.
They trudge through a few streams, catch sightings of animals in their natural habitats. Living freely amongst the jungle, no care in the world. Bakugou wonders what it would be like to have no care in the world, to live freely like those animals. Hell of a lot simpler that is for sure, but instead he has problems in his life. Obstacles every which way daring to test his patience. (Which isn't a lot.) His emperor always on his case, taking care of him and his mother, and currently trying to save them from living amongst the streets. But, sometimes there are solutions. Not always but most of the time there is a solution. And Bakugou's solution? The flower.
"Bakugou?" a hesitated question leaving Kirishima's mouth in a flash that he almost missed it. Bakugou stops in his tracks and takes a deep breath in, preparing him self and exhaling.
"What?" a low growl leaves his mouth a little bit too low. He really has no reason to be mad even if the red head made him look like an idiot but...he is Bakugou so, when is he not mad?
"I'm tired. Can we rest for a bit?" he replies with another question. Low and soft trying not to set off the loud blond. His hand flying to the back of his head rubbing at it sheepishly. Bakugou sighs out of his nose and takes a look to the sky. They have been walking for about three or four hours in the hot sun and honestly he was getting tired himself so...
"Fine, but not for long we have a long ways until we find the damn thing," he grunts plopping down onto the jungle floor as he takes off his shirt to reveal his black tank top sticking to his body drenched with sweat. Kirishima stared for a moment, looking at the scene before him. He could have sworn he seen a tint of pink spread across his face before he says,
"Yes of course! I'll find us some water." The red head twirls around and runs into the jungle leaving Bakugou all alone. Weird monkey boy. Is all he thinks as he lays down to relax while looking at the blue ocean like sky.

"Keep up monkey boy times a wastin'!" Bakugou snarls as he cuts a vine with his sword.
"It's dark we should be sleeping right now!" the red head replies rubbing at his droopy, sleepy eyes. After their slight break and charging up with some water they traveled for another two hours before the sun went down. The moon as their only light source they kept going and it only is making the red head restless and his whining making Bakugou annoyed.
"Fine fine! Only because i'm sick of your whining annoying ass!" he screeches as he points his sword towards him.
"Easy with that thing!" the red head squeaks as he starts to climb up a tree swerving through vines in the process. What's with this guy and trees? Boy was Bakugou having a field trip with all the tree climbing and heights. He quickly follows behind climbing up as well. As he reaches the top he sees the red head sitting on a limb looking out to the jungle. Admiring its beauty glistening in the moon light as Bakugou joins in on another limb.
"Are we cool now? Like with the whole thing before?" Shit Bakugou forgot about that, the sun must have been too distracting to replay the scene in his mind thousands of more times. The sudden burst of hotness suddenly flushing his cheeks.
"Yeah," is all he says. It's better to just forget about it. Forget the feeling in his stomach, the redness of his face, the distance between them. He looks up to meet Kirishima's classic smile. There goes Bakugou's stomach again.
"Good, now show me what that thingy is," he says pointing towards his camera that's hanging around his belt. He unlatches it and brings it up to Kirishima's eye view.
"This is a camera. You point it at whatever you want a picture of and push this button. Then it will come out of the bottom of here," he says pointing to different places on it. Kirishima looks in amazement with big shiny eyes. It's clear he has never seen such a thing it's written all over his face. Makes Bakugou want to laugh, and tell him he looks stupid but doesn't want to ruin this moment.
"May I?" he says reaching for the camera. Bakugou carefully hands it to him, their hands slightly brushing sending chills throughout his body. He continues to stare at it and looks through it a couple of times.
"Take a picture of something that catches your eye or is beautiful to you," Bakugou says. When he takes pictures he thinks of his mother and how much she'd love to see the sights he does. If only...
Flash! Bakugou is blinded and a screech escapes his mouth as he rubs his eyes.
"What the shit? Why did you take a picture of me for?"
"You said to take a picture of something that catches your eye so..." The heat quickly returns to Bakugou's face once more as he squeezes his eyes shut trying to block out his voice. What the fuck is wrong with me?
"See look!" he says pulling out the picture from the bottom, but a frown forms.
"Where...is the picture?" he says looking over to Bakugou who is still recovering from the blindness.
"You have to wait dumb ass give me that!" he yells snatching his camera and picture setting it on the limb.
"Oh I see and sorry about blinding you man," he replies with a chuckle his hand once again flying to the back of his head. His big toothy smile returning making Bakugou's nerves calm down a bit. He doesn't like the thought of that.
"Whatever just go to sleep we are waking up early," he says leaning back onto the limb leaning his hat down so it covers his eyes.
"Good night Bakugou," the red head replies as he also relaxes into his limb.
