Hearts Of Stone

The Boy In The Mountains

Bakugou did not hesitate when his dragon companion turned into a man. He knew he was ill and that they would have to keep going to find shelter. He reached his arms around the boys pale body hoisting him up. Cradling him with one arm he used his other to throw the red velvet and fur Cape over his freezing body. The blond pulled him in closer trying to share his body heat. He could not provide as much as the dragon had for him but he needed to try.

He then began to jog towards the mountains. He climbed the steep bottom trying not to slip on the wet stone path. He paused for a moment when he saw a large dark opening in her peripherals. He adjusted his grasp on the crimson male in her arms to get a good grip as he began to jog towards the cave. He rushed the boy inside away from the rain, he immediately started to use all he could to wrap him up and make him a tight cocoon. Then he rushed out to find dry wood to create a fire.

It took long to finally set up and when the fire was going Bakugou returned to Kirishima's side sitting down beside him resting his back against the cold stone wall before letting out a long breath. He looked down at the sick boy, the reflection of the flames danced across his paling paper white skin giving him a false warmth. He breathed heavily as his ill body tried to fight the virus within him.

Bakugou rested his hand on the red heads cheek, it was hot and damp from sweat but the rest of his skin was ice cold. The Rogue knew the hard stone floor would only make matters worse as it was most likely sapping his body heat and couldn't possibly be comfortable. An angry blush ran over his own face when he made a rash decision. He began to lay down beside Kirishima then in one mighty heave he rolled the boy onto his stomache so that they would be chest to chest. This way Kirishima would not be on the ground and the two could share body heat.

"If you wake up and turn back into a dragon and crush me I'm gonna be really fucking pissed." Bakugou growled.

He could feel the ivory boys breathing against his chest, he hugged him tighter trying not to let his mind run wild about his condition as his worry thickened. Within the warmth he closed his eyes so that he could get a clear head while he thought. But when he opened them again he was somewhere else. The land was covered in dark, hot ash. He looked around and began to walk through the soot towards a destination unknown. As he climbed the hill he looked into the valley to see it on fire. Down below men of black magic were using the element to burn a large rock. Among the men was the massive king Endeavor. His flames were the most powerful and most ferocious. Bakugou watched in confusion at what they were doing until he heard a familiar cry. The thing they burned was no stone, it was the dragon Kirishima. He wailed out in agony trying to escape the flames but he was tied down by heavy chains. Then without hesitation Bakugou called out to him running through the ash to reach his partner. But as he grew close something pinned him down to the blackened earth from behind. He looked over his shoulder to see the half and half prince holding him steady as he watched the dragon burn. Bakugou tried to fight him yelling and screaming but it was as if he was frozen, helpless. He saw Kirishima's crying face in the flames as he turned into the boy. They reached out for eachother but the blaze engulfed him. Bakugou could feel the waves of the fire growing hotter and hotter burning his body. Then suddenly he awoke.

He quickly looked down and sighed in relief when he saw Kirishima still curled up to him. He moved his hand over his flush cheeks to feel the hot thing from his dreams was not the fire, it had been Kirishima. His illness was getting worse.

"Damn it." He whispered in frustration.

He knew he had to get him some medicine but the nearest town was a day walk just to get there. He didn't want to leave the sick boy alone but if he brought him with him the rain would surely worsen his case and if he didn't go at all. Well he didn't want to think of those consequences.

"You stupid dragon. Why did you get sick? I need you to wake up."
