Whispers of the Heart

Nice and Spice

The sun began to peek over the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the landscape, and one by one, everyone stirred from their slumber. The soft rustling of leaves and the gentle chirping of birds filled the air, creating a serene backdrop to the awakening world. Katsuki was the last to rise, blinking away the remnants of sleep as he surveyed the group, his sharp gaze taking in the familiar faces of his friends. "Let’s move out... I’m not wasting any time," he declared, his voice cutting through the morning calm like a knife. He pushed himself up from the ground, brushing off the dirt that clung to his clothes, a determined glint in his eyes.

His words spurred the others into action—Denki and Kirishima transformed back into their dragon forms, their scales shimmering in the sunlight, inviting everyone to climb onto their backs once more. The group scrambled eagerly, laughter and chatter filling the air as they settled in, ready for the adventure that lay ahead. With a powerful beat of their wings, Denki and Kirishima took to the skies, soaring through the vast expanse of blue, the wind whipping through their hair and the thrill of flight igniting their spirits.

As they glided through the sky for several hours, the landscape below transformed from lush forests to sprawling fields, the beauty of nature unfolding beneath them. However, amidst the exhilaration, Bakugou began to feel the heat rising within him, a simmering intensity that contrasted sharply with the refreshing breeze. He panted heavily, his eyes growing heavy with fatigue, the familiar signs of his impending heat creeping up on him.

Iida, ever observant, noticed the change in Bakugou’s demeanor and tilted his head in concern. "Are you okay, Bakugou?" he asked, his voice laced with genuine worry as he observed the wolf's agitated state. The tension radiating from Bakugou was palpable, and Iida couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

"I’m fine, damn it!" Bakugou snapped, his irritation flaring as he turned his back to them, the sharpness of his tone leaving no room for argument. "Just... keep your distance." The warning hung in the air, heavy with unspoken tension. It was clear that today marked the start of spring—the season when Katsuki would enter his heat as a wolf, a time that brought with it a mix of instinctual urges and emotional turmoil.

Jirou let out a soft sigh, leaning closer to Iida and Momo. "It’s pretty obvious he’s in heat... Just look at his tail; he’s holding it down, trying not to lash out at us," she murmured, ensuring her words wouldn’t reach Bakugou’s ears.

Worried, Iida instructed the two dragons to descend near the deserted beach house. As Kirishima and Kaminari transformed back into their human forms, a chorus of complaints erupted from their friends, all directed at Iida. With his arms crossed defiantly, he exclaimed, "We have to help Bakugou! He’s not doing well!" His finger pointed urgently at the wolf, who was swaying unsteadily and whimpering softly. Kirishima rushed to Bakugou's side, steadying him. "Alright, let’s take a quick breather in the beach house. Is everyone on board with that?" he asked, glancing around at his friends, who exchanged looks before nodding in agreement.

Once inside, Kirishima gently laid Bakugou down, keeping a watchful eye on him. "Just hang in there, okay? Try not to let out any scents... It could set us off," he whispered, fanning the boy who was in heat. Katsuki blinked up at Kirishima, his vision hazy. "You smell nice... but..." He reached out toward the dragon boy. Eijiro let out a soft sigh, grasping Bakugou's hands. "I really wish we had some medicine or something for you." Kirishima scanned the room, his eyes shimmering with concern. "Alright, how about this...-"

Ochaco and Mina were in their shared room, glancing around with a mix of concern and curiosity. "Do you think our leader will be alright? If he ends up... you know," Ochaco said, her brow furrowing as Mina pulled her closer. "He'll be just fine! He's a powerful wolf, after all. Wolves are known to be among the strongest, even with a dragon by their side!" Mina declared with unwavering confidence, releasing her friend. Uraraka nodded, but her attention was quickly diverted by a sudden, thunderous BANG from the living room. Instinctively, everyone rushed toward the source of the commotion.

In the living room, Bakugou had Kirishima pinned to the ground, his breath coming in quick bursts as he loomed over him. "Can't..." he murmured, scratching at Eijiro's arms, his eyes burning with a wild mix of lust and longing. He felt an overwhelming urge to devour him whole.

But before Bakugou could unleash his scent, Kirishima swiftly reversed their positions, pinning Katsuki down instead. "Stop it! Don’t even think about it!" he growled, pressing a hand firmly against the wolf's chest. Bakugou thrashed beneath him, small whines escaping his lips.

"Kaminari, we need to get Katsuki into one of the rooms! We have to lock him in!" Eijiro called out, glancing at the other dragon, who hesitated for a moment before rushing over to help. Together, they hoisted Bakugou up and hurried toward a nearby room, gently laying him down inside. Eijiro dashed in and slammed the door shut, locking himself in with the wolf.

"Wha—EJIRO, DON’T LOCK YOURSELF IN THERE!" Kaminari shouted, banging on the door in a panic.

Everything unfolded in a blur, the tension palpable as everyone sat in the room, anxiety etched on their faces. Iida let out a heavy sigh, his eyes fixed on Jirou. "Could you try using your quirk, Jirou?" he asked earnestly. She simply nodded in response, plugging her earphones into the wall, focusing intently on deciphering the sounds from within the room.

Bakugou emitted a low growl, while Kirishima remained quiet, absorbing the chaos. Jirou grumbled, straining to understand the commotion. Suddenly, Iida sprang from the sofa, charging toward the door and kicking it open with a forceful bang.

Everyone jumped to their feet, their eyes landing on Katsuki, who was playfully nibbling on Kirishima's arm to prevent him from getting too frisky. Ejiro glanced around, a grin spreading across his face. "Haha... Hey, everyone..."

"WE WERE SO WORRIED!" Kaminari shouted, rushing over to shake Kirishima's shoulders. "I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU!!" He swayed back and forth, relief washing over him as he whined and sobbed, the tension finally beginning to ease.

Kirishima let out a light laugh, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Nah, we're just 16. Even in his heat, he’s aware of that." Ejiro offered a warm smile, affectionately ruffling Bakugou's spiky hair, a gesture that had become a familiar routine among the group. Katsuki jerked away, annoyance flashing in his eyes like a spark igniting a fire. "Don’t touch me... Tch..." he grumbled, his voice a low growl, but the irritation was undercut by the way he returned to gnawing on Ejiro's arm, a playful bite that belied his gruff demeanor.

A collective sigh of relief swept through the group, a shared understanding that this was just how they interacted—bickering and teasing were signs of their camaraderie. They soon huddled together, forming a cozy cuddle puddle, laughter and warmth enveloping them like a soft blanket. The world outside faded away, leaving only the comfort of friendship and the joy of being together.

Weeks rolled by, each day filled with new adventures and the thrill of discovery. They traversed lush forests, climbed rugged mountains, and explored quaint villages, each stop revealing unique cultures and new friends. The journey was exhilarating, a tapestry of experiences woven together by laughter and shared stories around campfires under starlit skies.

Teasing Bakugou became a beloved pastime, a way to lighten the mood and draw out the softer side of the explosive hero. Ejiro would often poke fun at his grumpy expressions, while the others chimed in with playful jabs, knowing that deep down, Bakugou secretly enjoyed the attention, even if he would never admit it. Each playful exchange only strengthened their bond, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

This entire trip was a whirlwind of joy, unmatched by anything else they had experienced before. The thrill of adventure was intoxicating, but it was the moments spent together—sharing laughter, facing challenges, and supporting one another—that truly made their journey unforgettable. As they continued on their path, the world felt vast and full of possibilities, and they were ready to embrace whatever came next, together.
