The sun rose behind the trees in the swamp, birds ruffling their feathers in their nests before taking flight, soaring up and through the morning sky. The sound of the rope holding the boat onto a tree being cut woke the three boys up, sending them into a frenzy of panic. "Someone's stealing the boat!" Hanta shrieked, jumping up from his spot on the ground where he had been sleeping against a tree. He pulled Kirishima up by the arm, whacking the back of his head, earning a groan from the dragon. "Rise and shine spiky, time to blow someone's head off!" Kirishima's eyes shot open, thick smoke puffing out of his nose as he leaped up, baring his fangs at the tree, the sliced rope falling off of the rough exterior.
Kaminari poked his head out from behind it, a huge smile plastered on his face. He wrapped his hands around his stomach, laughing his ass off. "Calm down guys!" He wiped a fake tear. "That was fucking hilarious." Bakugo just stared down at his feet, arms crossed, and a pissy expression on his face. Kaminari also ignored the ash blonde, hopping onto the creaky boat. "we should get going if we want to make it in 3 days' time."
Sero nodded in agreement, grabbing his beaten-up black leather bag and tossing it into the boat. before clambering quite loudly into it. Kirishima whistled, crossing his arms above his head as he stepped onto the boat. "you coming to, your majesty?" The tall blonde just shook his head, snapping himself out of his solemn daze. "yeah, of course, I am shittyhair.." the sun bled into the night sky as the swamp continued on, and the group if boys sat peacefully on the boat, the fires happily flying around in their box. Kaminari tapped the hull with his sword, clicking his tongue to the beat of the tavern hymns Sero and Kirishima sang.
Their song was soon overpowered by another song, however, their voices being drowned out by the silky sweet sound of a sirens melody that drifted from a small island not too far off from where the boat needed to go in order to make it to the castle and to the main part of the kingdom. Kaminari cussed, pulling a clump a candle wax from a burning candle hanging in a lantern case, swinging from a wooden support beam. He handed it quickly to Kirishima and sero as bakugo leaped down from the taller part of the boat. "what the fuck is that?" he asked with a raised brow, blood-red eyes boring into the other electric yellow ones. He glopped a handful of candle wax into his palm. "siren. Don't ask, I'll explain later..if we're still alive I mean- but plug your ears."
He looked back to the candle, which was now a puddle of scorching hot wax. He bit his bottom lip, clenching his fists. "there isn't enough.." he picked up a stray rope that lay on the wooden deck, landing it the redhead, who looked between it and the blonde. "kirishima tie me down, and no matter how much I scream and beg you cannot untie me. Sero, take my weapons." the prince just watched with a bewildered expression as sero took off Kaminari's gun holsters, shoving them into his bag along with his sword and multiple throwing knives.
They each put a hearty amount of the somewhat cool wax in their ears, the world completely muted. The sound of the sirens song grew louder as the boat drifted near the jagged rocks that lined the rest of the now ocean like swam, a medium-sized lagoon left until they reached the shore of the kingdom. They saw the docks and villages blurred in the distance, the castle now huge in their vision. Bakugo remembered the small castle near Sero's tavern. 'that must have been some sort of base of operations, or a second castle just in case something happened to the other.
He thought, sparing an occasional glance towards the others. Kaminari's gaze was serious as stone, which was surprising for the bubbly and extroverted pirate he got to know, and dare he says grow fond of in the past week or so. the fairies stopped flying around, instead, they sat in the glass box, quivering as beautiful girls swam around the boat. Kirishima clenched his fists and stumbled back slightly, watching the mouths of the sirens move. He couldn't hear much, but boy did those fish ladies scare him shitless.
The second tallest of the group, sero, stood with a hand tightly gripping a small support beam that helps up the small tin roof of the boat. Multiple splinters dig into his palm, but he ignored the pain. 'Kaminari's pain is much worse right now' he thought as he looked the blonde boys' way, remembering the stories fishermen or adventures would tell while sitting at his bar. 'Some of the best things I have ever seen where given by the sirens song..' one man had said, a beer in his hand. 'Visions of my dreams coming true, both innocent and dirty flashed through my mind.
And if I hadn't been tied down so well, I would've jumped right over the edge of my boat.' sero's thoughts were wavered by the blonde boy's pupils growing, shaking his head and wincing as he tried to block out the overwhelming song. It took over his mind, fucking up his reasoning. It was done, Kaminari's mind had been taken over. Images of his dreams and hopes coming true flashed through his mind, making him want to pursue the beautiful women that made his hopes come true.
the violent mouth movements kaminari made scared sero, making him feel extremely guilty for tying him up. He kicked screaming at them as he fought against the bonds. He screamed, though they were inaudible, the group could read his lips almost perfectly.
I won't jump off guys I promise! Just untie me! Guys- guys stop looking at me and untie me!
Sero turned away from him, knowing it was better if he just ignored he pleads. Kaminari started to cry, throwing his head back and fighting desperately against the tightly tied ropes. He kicked and screamed, hot tears flowing down his naturally lightly flushed face.
Sero! Please I'm begging you! Kirishima..please I won't...I won't jump off please I just want to- Please guys! Please I just want to look a little closer at them! I'm begging you, please!
Kirishima clenched his fists tighter, trying to ignore the pain of betraying his friend like this. But this wasn't his friend talking, it was the siren's song, his head pinged with pain as he tried to keep this at the from of his mind. It was ok to ignore kaminari, it was the manliest choice he could make at the moment. At least, that's what he hoped.
Kaminari saw that both Kirishima and the sero were ignoring him. He sobbed a little louder, whipping his head to where Bakugo stood, petrified by Kaminari's pleading and cries, along with the sirens themselves. He tried to look calm and collected, but when kaminari looked at him with those pleading eyes, he felt his walls shatter like glass.
Bakugo..please.
I'm begging you Bakugo, please! You may not trust me but I won't jump I'll just look! I'm okay! They're not affecting me! ITS ME BAKUGO! ITS ME PLEASE LET ME GO! UNTIE ME DAMN IT!
Bakugo looked away, arms shaking slightly at his sides. Kaminari's hands lifted from his sides, scouring his body for all of his hidden blades, which he had given to sero beforehand. He sobbed louder, hands finding the blade in his blazer. It was the same one he had tried to saw through the metal bars with, he had picked it up off the floor and slid it back into his blazer. He had completely forgotten about it up until now, but he grabbed it anyway, ripping it from the blazer pocket and frantically breaking the ropes that held him onto the mast.
He pushed himself from the mast, running straight towards the edge. The sirens cackled maliciously, reaching up to him and welcoming him with open arms. Much to their despise, a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist, pulling him into the ash blondes chest. He grunted and blushed as he held him tighter when Kaminari tried to squirm away. The blonde eventually gave up, his hands falling limply to his sides.
Bakugo wrapped one hand around the back of his head, feeling his soft blonde hair as his left cheek pressed into his chest. The other handheld his waist, holding him in a sweet embrace like if he hugged any harder he would crack, and the pieces would be too small to piece back together. "It's alright kaminari..I've got you.."
The fairies had started to Afrantically fly at this point, just trying to get away from the weird creatures. The sirens hissed in irritation, they had just lost a perfectly good meal after all. The boat skidded through the rocks, near the shore.
