'PUT. ME. DOWN!!!'

Kirishima was flying through the freezing night air, panting heavily, with three people on his back hunched-over against the wind. In his claws was a wriggling, armoured figure who was yelling nonstop through his helmet.

Bakugou was sitting directly behind Ejirou's head, his legs locked tightly around the dragon's neck. He was gripping the dragon's two main horns tightly, his elbows wrapped around them for extra security, as a fall from this height would surely mean death. Hardly anyone would be reckless enough to sit where Katsuki sat. Of course, being Katsuki Bakugou, safety wasn't exactly the Chief-to-be's first priority. His scarlet fur-rimmed cloak was billowing out behind him dramatically, and the draw-string bag was slung across his bare chest and back beneath it.
The ash-blonde was gritting his teeth against the cold, refusing to shiver and surrender to the chills that threatened to succumb him.

At the base of the dragon's neck, in between his beating shoulder-blades, sat Shoto and Izuku.
The Prince had one arm wrapped tightly around the green-haired boy that sat in front of him, keeping him close to his chest. His other hand gripped one of Kirishima's spines. He was shivering slightly, since his blue coat was being worn by Izuku, who held his shattered forearm close to his chest, however his opposite arm and shoulder stuck out at an odd angle, as if broken as well.

Shouto had his chin nuzzled in the crook of Izuku's neck, and a grave expression on his face.

'I SAID PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT, FOUL BEAST! THIS IS TREASON OF THE HIGHEST ORDER-' the armoured male that was being held in Kirishima's front legs continued to yell, thrashing his arms around, kicking furiously like a toddler attempting to swim, and tried to whack the dragon's paws, which had zero affect on Ejirou.

Other than the howling wind, the knight's yowls of irritation were all that the other four could hear.

A sea of lush pine trees was laid out beneath them, and eventually a drop of water fell onto Katsuki's bare shoulder, causing him to shudder.
And then there was another drop. And another. And soon enough rain was spattering down from the dark sky onto the earth below, rendering them all soaked to the skin and frozen to the bone.

As the rain began to come down more furiously, Shouto tightened his grip on his soulmate, as they both were shaking with the cold, and called out to where he hoped Katsuki still sat, since the rain blurred his vision.

'Bakugo!' He shouted. 'We need to land, now!'

And although the blonde didn't see him say the words, he heard them, and wholeheartedly agreed.

Shivering, Katsuki slapped the side of Kirishima's scaly head firmly, signalling that they needed to land.
Ejirou snorted in reply, and dipped his head, beginning the descent.

It was not a smooth landing.
Due to Kirishima's tiredness & aching limbs, paired with the unfortunate weather and his four passengers, the dragon had landed roughly on the grassy clearing, almost toppling sideways.

Once his passengers were safely on the ground (the knight stood with his arms crossed, tapping his foot) and Katsuki had slung is sopping wet cloak over the dragon's spine, Ejirou transformed.
