Whispers of the Heart

Hunting Season

Bakugou stirred from his slumber at the break of dawn, having spent the night nestled in the embrace of the dragon. With a slight grimace, he extricated himself from the creature's hold. "Tch... such a clingy dragon," he muttered under his breath, before elegantly draping his cape over his shoulders and taming his tousled blonde locks. Turning his attention to Kirishima, he gave him a gentle shake to rouse him. "Oi, rise and shine. We have to meet your insufferable friends," he stated, shaking him once more. Ejiro groaned, his eyes fluttering open. "Just a few more minutes...?" he pleaded, cocooning himself in his wings. "No time for that—GAH!" Bakugou yanked at Kirishima's wings, compelling him to his feet. "Get up! Quit being lazy, damn it!" He meticulously brushed off any dirt from Kirishima's wings and body, ensuring he looked presentable. "There," he declared, running his fingers through the boy's vibrant red hair. "Let’s move! Transform into your dragon form and take me to your ridiculous friends!" he commanded, arms crossed defiantly. Kirishima beamed, nodding enthusiastically. "Alright!"

The young lad transformed into a magnificent dragon, his form a resplendent shade of crimson. With a gentle growl, he affectionately licked Katsuki's face, prompting a resigned groan from Bakugou. "For heaven's sake! Quit fooling around and let me ride on your back!" he exclaimed, a flush of embarrassment creeping across his cheeks as he wiped his face clean. In a graceful motion, Kirishima lifted him with his powerful wings, settling him comfortably atop his back. Bakugou let out a contented hum, gripping the dragon firmly. "Alright, let’s take off," he declared, his gaze fixed on Kirishima as he unfurled his grand wings and soared into the sky. They ascended from the forest, the refreshing breeze brushing against their faces, bringing a sense of tranquility to Bakugou, calming the tempest within him.

Upon arrival, Kirishima gracefully descended upon a quaint shed, seamlessly transitioning back into his human form. As Katsuki plummeted through the air, Kirishima swiftly intervened, securing him in a firm embrace. "Haha! Got you!" he beamed with delight. "Put me down!" Katsuki huffed, regaining his footing as soon as he was released. "Is this your campsite or something?" he grumbled, a hint of annoyance in his tone. Kirishima shook his head, a playful glint in his eyes. "Nope! My friends reside here—what's wriggling beneath your cape?" he inquired, lifting the edge of Katsuki's cape with curiosity.
Katsuki still sported his wolf tail, which was wagging with excitement. The tantalizing scent of meat wafted through the air, and his stomach growled in protest. "Mhh..." he growled softly, his instincts kicking in as he dashed toward the shed. Kirishima yelped, grabbing hold of Katsuki's tail to halt his advance. They both tumbled to the ground, with Bakugou landing awkwardly between Eijiro's legs. "Damnit... I smell food... I want... meat..." he grunted, thrashing against Kirishima's grip, growling and kicking his legs in frustration.

Just then, a few people emerged from the shed, their faces lighting up with smiles. "Kirishima!" called a girl with pink hair, a bunny hybrid. Her cheerful expression faltered as she spotted Bakugou, recognition dawning on her. "O-oh, uh, Kiri... I can't be near wolves, you know that!" She quickly ducked behind a blonde boy, who was a dragon.

"Hey there, wolf! I'm Kaminari, and this bunny behind me is Mina!" he said with a grin, stepping closer to the ravenous wolf. "Hmmm... Looks like you've been missing some meals. Want some food? Or maybe you’d like to snack on Mina?" he teased, causing Mina to gasp in horror.

"You wouldn't dare!" she exclaimed, kicking Denki's side in protest. "Don't say that again! I don't want to be a meal for a bloodthirsty wolf!" she whined, glancing nervously at Bakugou.

Kirishima sighed, wrapping his arms around Bakugou to keep him from lunging at them. "This is Katsuki, and he really needs food or he might get a bit... aggressive! He can be a little grumpy, so please don’t take it personally," he explained, holding Bakugou close to calm him down.
