A Dragon Called Halfie

Part 32/ you are my child now

"Hey! Wait up, Bakugou! Don't leave without me!" Kirishima jogged to catch up with Bakugou.

"Where are we gonna go?"

"Hunting."

"Oof, a one word answer. Someone's angry."

Silence.

"Finnneee, I'll leave you alone." He backed up a few steps, but still followed behind Bakugou.

They had been walking in silence for a while when Kirishima heard something approaching.
'Finally' he thought to himself 'now we can stop--' but he cut himself off when he realized it wasn't an animal.

"Bakugou-"

"Shut up."

"Someone's coming though!"

Bakugou groaned. He sounds annoyed.

'What if it's Master!?' Kirishima thought to himself. He dropped into a fighting stance. He wasn't going to go back without one he'll of a fight.

He could hear them getting closer when a blond dude stumbled out from behind a tree. The stranger was closely followed by two more people. One was very pink, and the other looked pretty  normal person with black hair.

"It's you!" Bakugou growled from beside Kirishima. This didn't make Kiri feel any better about the random people that had basically ambushed them.

"BRO! YOU GOTTA SAVE US!" Said Blond Guy.

"Why?"

"BEAR! 'gasp' MINA TRIED TO PET 'gasp' A BEAR!!" the poor guy was severely out of breath.

"I leave you dumbasses to take care of yourselves for one, ONE month, and this is what I come back to."

Kirishima was confused. We're these good people or not? Bakugou definitely acted like he knew them.

Then the dark haired guy, the only one who didn't look like he was struggling with asthma, asked a question.

"Who's this guy?" Pointing to Kirishima.
Kiri growled.

"Shitty Hair, these are my acquaintances. "

"Dang, bro! Will won't admit were friends. Anyway, hello, Shitty hair, my name is Hanta Sero. What's yours?"

Kirishima was suspicious, but he still answered.
"My name is Halfie - wait! No, it's Kirishima."

He seemed to ignore Kirishima's slip up.
"Cool, the pink one over there is Mina, and the blond one is Kaminari."

Bakugou nodded.
"Yep. This is soy-sauce. And over there is raccoon eyes, and dunce face."

The other two, who had finally caught their breath, joined in the conversation.

"Seerrroooo!!! I'm tired! We should take a rest." Dunce face whined, draping himself over Sero's shoulders. And dense as Kirishima was, he'd didn't miss the way Sero's ears turned red when Kaminari dramatically flopped onto him.

"Uhhh ... yeah, for sure. We just need to be sure we are safe from the bear first."

"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!! IS THIS THE SAME GUY YOU DEMANDED WE SAVE WHEN YOU GOT CAUGHT!?!! " The pink lady gasped and started jumping up and down. "IT IS, ISN'T IT!?!"

At this point, Bakugou didn't care anymore...
"Yeah."

Another gasp.

"Do you have a soft spot for Lil Red here??? "

Bakugou slapped his forehead.

"OH MY GOSH!! You do!"

"Thats not what that means you damn raccoon! He's just a good fighter!"  and just like Sero, Bakugou's face turned red.
Was Bakugou embarrassed?

"Hey, isn't your cave near here?" Sero asked, trying to support a pouting Kaminari without falling.

Bakugou ignored Pinkies screeching in the background.
"It is."

"Then let's goooooooo." Plain face said pointing in a random direction.

The walk back was spent in mostly silence, except for Kaminari randomly naming the flowers they passed. He had recently short circuited trying the defend himself from the bear, and turns out the bear had actually quit chasing them once they were out of its sight.

Once they had arrived, Bakugou started cooking a stew to go with the rabbit he had caught. After a few minutes, Kaminari seemed to come to his right sense of mind.

"Hey bro, Sorry about the rocky first impressions earlier.  My name is Denki Kaminari."

"I'm Eijiro Kirishima."

"Nice to finally meet you!" He reached into his bag and pulled out a lyre. "I have been struck with The Inspiration! Hmmmmm. ." He became to tune it, and Kirishima watched in awe. He had never seen someone play an instrument before. Even if Kaminari was only tuning it, it still sounded like magic to Kirishima.

Kaminari hummed for a moment before singing one line.
"Remember this moment, in the back of my mind.
  Hmm no, that doesn't sound right..."

Silence.

"Ooh, wait, I've got it! Hem hem." He started singing again.
"Long live, the walls we crashed through! Get it? Cause we broke through the wall to get you!" He seemed very proud of this, and Kirishima nodded, will inraptured by the music.

"That's not all!
How the fire lights shined just for he and you.
they were screaming, Long live, all the magic we made.
Cause, ya-know, we all used our magic to get out of there!
Bring on all the pretenders.
It rhymes okay
One day we will be remembered~
Aaand finish it off with a little lyre solo!"

"That's... That was amazing!" Kirishima breathed.

"Aww, thanks man."

"Really? Cause if I gave a monkey a lyre I bet the monkey could play it better than you!" Bakugou chuckled as he stirred the soup.

"Come on, bro! It wasn't that bad." Kaminari said, poking Bakugou's arm.

"Shitty Hair, wake up Tape and Raccoon." He pointed at the two who had collapsed as soon as they had arrived because they had been forced to carry a half awake Kaminari up a mountain side when Bakugou refused to help.

"Dinners ready."
