Hearts Of Stone

Midnight

  
   Bakugou ran through the mist with Kirishima wrapped tightly to his chest trying to find a way out only for it to become thicker and thicker. Before long his cape couldn't hold out all of the gas and he too faded to the darkness.

   When he awoke he was no longer in the forest, instead he was in a home surrounded by expensive leather furniture. The walls were covered in idols and different moon shaped trinkets as well as strange things like whips and gags. He sat up quickly looking around listening for the owner. At first it was silent, then he heard the voices of a woman and a man. He slowly crept towards the door listening to the voices behind it before he kicked it open, leaping into the room he drew his sword and he called out.

"Where the hell am I and where's my-" he stopped when he saw the crimson haired boy sitting on the couch across from a black haired woman. "Dragon?"

"Bakugou!" Kirishima stood up excitedly actually wearing pants for once. "You're awake!"

"And you're, human again."

"Again?" Kirishima raised a brow looking over himself.

"Thats a nasty spell your friends got there." The woman spoke.

"I'm aware." Bakugou stated vigilantly.

"You are?" Kirishima looked up at him.

"How is he able to stay in this form while he's awake? Did you break the curse?" He stepped closer to the woman hiding his hope.

"Awake? Do you mean I turn human when I sleep?" The dragon tried to get the focus back on him.

"No, he is able to stay like this because the island is enchanted." The woman reached for a triangular glass swishing her long claw like nails through it. "But I suppose you came here to have me lift it."

"Then you're Midnight." Bakugou recognized.

   Kirishima was about to butt in again but stopped when he said her name.

"I am." She nodded. "But I cannot fix your friends curse."

"Then how?!" The rogue snapped becoming frustrated.

   Midnight moved her blue eyes over to Kirishima as they locked gazes. "True loves kiss." She smiled playfully.

   The young man looked up to Bakugou with sparkling eyes. "Like in a fairy tale."

"That's the cheesiest bullshit I've ever heard! Where the hell are we gonna find his true love?!" He barked.

"You cant just go looking for it. It comes to you." She snipped back. "You came to me for help and I gave it to you."

"So, when we leave the island. I'll just become a dragon again?" Kirshima's heart sunk.

   The two stopped their bickering looking at the puppy eyed male. He sat back down crossing his arms over his chizzled chest avoiding eye contact afraid they would see his dissapointment and become upset.

"I mean, I knew that was the case, but..... " His shark like teeth bit into his lip fighting back the emotions that caught in his throat.

   Midnight opened her mouth ready to try and give advice or healing words only to be defeated by Bakugou.

"Then, would you rather stay on this island?" He said without hesitation.

   Kirishima looked up at his companion taken back by his unselfish words. "I-" he hesitated. "No of course not."

"Why not?" The blond pushed.

"Because I want to go with you!" Kirishima got up to meet the other male eye to eye. "You saved me so I still owe you!" He raised his fist in determination.

"You dont owe me shit kid! Now ask this witch to stay here so you can be happy!" Bakugou broke eye contact.

"But I wont be happy!" He grabbed the blonds shoulder. "I maybe human but being a dragon is also a part of me! So I can't just stay here! You said you had somewhere to take me so I'm going, if I break the curse along the way then great and if not...... Then I don't know if there's anyone I'd rather be stuck with." He grinned widely.

   Bakugou stayed silent for a while taking in what the other Male had said. Then he responded. "Fine, stay with me then you fucking moron."

***********°•💚•°***********

   Later that day Midnight gave them food for the trip and clothes for Kirishima to wear at night. She also gave them a small boat to get off the island. As Kirishima began to toss their luggage upon the small vessel Midnight pulled Bakugou back.

"Here." She held out a small satchel.

   The rogue raised a brow. "What are these?" He took them.

"Sleeping pills. For your friend. I have a feeling I know where you're going." She whispered. "If you let that hotheaded womanizer lay a finger on that sweet child, I'll be coming for your head." She pushed him away. "Have fun out there you two!"

   Bakugou stared at her for a moment wanting to get in the final word but then left it behind. He already knew the king was going to be trouble and he was not going to let anything happen to his dragon.
