Screaming and Running

Chapter Four: KiriBaku

To Kirishima, this haunted house looked realistic. It was built to look old and rundown, and echoes of fearing screams helped enforce the creepy demeanor. This got his heart to rush, though it rushed even faster when Bakugou crept his way next to the redhead.

However, he stayed silent.

"What, you scared? It's just a stupid house, dumbass." The blonde snarled, breaking the noiselessness between the two.

Kirishima smiled a fangy smile, as he apologized. "Sorry, Bakubro! Just a bit nervous. Kaminari and Jirou did come running out shrieking!"

"Oh yeah? Well, they also ran out hugging. They probably fucked or something."

The spiky-haired teenager awkwardly chuckled at the provocative comment, saying "Well, I don't think so. Ashido said there is no time to even think!"

Bakugou laughed. "Yeah, Kaminari's too much of a coward to put it down like that."

"Uh-hum, well, who knows?" Kirishima reasoned. He quickly tried to change the subject. "Do you wanna go into the haunted house with me?"

This caused Bakugou's face to scrunch up. "What the hell are you suggesting, shitty hair?"

Eijirou's mind immediately was wired back to their conversation just seconds before. He choked, his cheeks starting to fashion a light red. "Not like that!"

Bakugou's face compressed even more. "I wasn't talking about fucking, you horny idiot." he barked. "You want me to protect you or something?"

Kirishima gasped, obviously losing a bit of tension. "Well, I just want you to go in with me! I can stop you from killing everything that pops out at us."

"Ugh, I have fucking control, shitty hair."

If anything Katsuki had said that night was a lie, it was that statement. "S-sure."

"Whatever. We're next in line by the way. Don't fucking embarrass me, okay?"

Bakugou suddenly grabbed onto to (a now blushing) Kirishima's hand and dragged him in.

The reviews on the haunted house's website were really good, and that was for a good reason. The actors and actresses scaring them were really good, and their freakily great and manly quirks corresponded with the characters they were portraying.

Nonetheless, it was terrifying. Kirishima was pretty sure Bakugou was angrily scared, as every time someone burst at them, Katsuki would squeeze his hand very tightly, and quite obviously grind his molars together.

Kirishima would yelp but then go back to grinning. He would radiate sunshine as he complimented the offenders.

Bakugou would pull him away, and it was unclear whether it was because he was jealous, or that he wanted to get this whole ordeal over with.

Either way, by the end, both were clearly frazzled in some sort of way. The most frazzling was at the very end when some prick popped up out of nowhere. This dude was particularly scary, and Kirishima felt his adrenaline pumping up.

They walked out of the haunted house, unlatching hands.

Someone then handed a picture into Bakugou's hands. It was of Eijirou jumping up and screaming, his grip around Katsuki's. The blonde looked very angry in the picture, possibly fulfilling his earlier mention to "protect" him.

Huh.
