I'll Be There (KIRIBAKU)

35

   Monday was like a normal lesson day. Bakugou helped Kirishima regain some of his forgotten knowledge, and eventually he got used to the gaits again, and even a bit of jumping. They didn't care to go back into dressage just yet, but helping Kirishima get back into the rhythm had taken a lot of time already.

   Tuesday was a bit different. During the morning, they practised jumps, and the trot, but they didn't continue that after lunch. 

   "Huh? What are we doing?" asked Kirishima, watching as Midoriya and Todoroki joined them in the manège with One For All and Remi.

   "Didn't I fucking tell you?" asked Bakugou, raising an eyebrow. "We going on a horse ride," he said.

   "Huh."

   "On a trail you've never been on."

   "A secret trail!" grinned Midoriya. "I should probably tell Uraraka we're leaving," he hummed, shrugging. "Oh well. I'm excited," he smiled.

   "A secret trail, huh? Is it like... a trail from when you guys were kids?" he asked.

   "Yes," nodded Todoroki. "Well. I was only introduced to it when I was in high school."

   "We used to go with ponies," said Midoriya, motioning himself and Bakugou. "And then it was the first place we showed to our horses," he said, motioning the horses they are on. "Most of our horses know of that place, but only Sonic and our horses here know the way by heart. If they run away, they are more likely to be there than anywhere else," he said.

   "Wow," he smiled. "Sounds sentimental," he chuckled.

   "It really is," said Todoroki, staring at Bakugou.

   "Hah? No it isn't. It is just a fucking trail, not that important," he shrugged. "Anyway, let's fucking go. I'm sick of just being still and shit," he growled.

   "Fine."

   "I'm leading!" declared Bakugou, going first. 

   Without even any encouragement from Kirishima, Prince immediately started following King, and Midoriya sighed.

   "I guess Kirishima is next," he chuckled.

   "Sorry," he said, sheepishly.

   "Nah, don't worry about it. One For All wants to be third, apparently," he chuckled.

   "Remi, please move."

   Todoroki was a bit behind as he couldn't get Remi to move at first, but when she started, he had tried his best to catch up. He was struggling a bit with the grass and leaves distracting her, but they eventually got there.

   The ride was a bit long, perhaps an hour long, but the path there was amazing enough to make the time passing seem like just fifteen minutes. They had passed several carpets of colourful flowers, many branches blocking their way, and even too many leaves distracting the horses. Eventually, Kirishima could hear a small waterfall, and he was almost unsure of what it could be, until they reached a pond, with a small waterfall falling into it.

   "Is that... the place?" he asked, gaping at the beauty of the place. 

   "Yep!" grinned Midoriya, as stopped by near the pond, where a small fence was, just connecting two trees. 

   They got down from the horses, and then they attached the horses to the fence, with Bakugou doing it for Kirishima since he was too in awe at the place to even focus.

   "We placed that fence there, if you were wondering," smiled Midoriya. "We trust our horses enough to not leave us, but you never know. We had a few long ropes around here where we could extend the reins, but we don't really know where they are anymore? We haven't really been here in a while," he said. "Kacchan thought maybe it was time you see this place as well.  Not even Uraraka or Asui know where this is, and Iida probably barely remembers the way here, even though Sonic could come here by instinct alone," he chuckled.
