(Soft Fantasy AU with subtle Kiribaku, and Eri.)

"This one is centred around Bakugo and Kirishima." Blaise hummed. "Kirishima is a Dragon Shifter of sorts and Bakugo is a Dragon Master or Beastmaster." She explained.

"I'm a dragon? That's awesome!"  Kirshima gasped. 

Kirishima, wearing a odd outfit, was bobbing his head side to side as he walked.

He wore no shirt, some loose pants and knee-high grey boots, a bandana tied around his neck. He had red scale patches on his body, a scaly lizard tail hanging low against the ground and two horns against his hairline. Two lizard-like ears replaced his normal ones.

"Whoa! I look so cool!" Kirshima grinned. Blaise hummed. 

Bakugo, who Kirishima was following, was wearing another odd outfit. A cape with  lots of fluffy fur around his shoulders, a few sharp-toothed and/or beaded necklaces around his neck and no shirt either, two orange half-sleeves around his elbows, presumably for protection. Dark pants with knee-pads and steel boots with more fur in them, poking out of the top.

Bakugo looked at his other self with an unreadable emotion. 

They were in a huge cave, presumably their home.  There were four large passageways that lead to darkness and some glowing crystals lit up the cave from where it hung in geodes from the ceiling. 

Bakugo continued walking into one of the dark caves. Kirishima halted, not entering the hall. His tail wrapped itself around one of his legs. 

A few moments later, Bakugo returned, carrying a white, detailed egg the size of his torso. He set the egg over a lava pit on a pedestal, which lowered so the egg's bottom just sat in the lava after he was out of the way. 

"That's a big egg." Todoroki commented idly. "Wonder what's in it." 

"A baby dragon, probably." Blaise deadpanned.

"Who's is that?" Kirishima whispered, sat down on the edge of the lava pit. Bakugo sat down nearby. 

"Snow's... she had six." Bakugo sighed like it was a bad thing.

"Who's Snow?"

"She's a small female dragon that lives in the cave. Her mate, a dragon named Rain, is out getting food for her while she keeps the eggs warm. The other dragons mentioned in a second are Giantess, a dragon about the size of the U.A building, and Blue, a blue dragon the size of a large house." Blaise explained. The audience nodded.

"Six?" Kirishima whispered in near horror. "Including this one?" Bakugo nodded. 

"She can't handle six." Kirishima whimpered, ears drooping. Bakugo took notice and rubbed his head gently. 

"Aw, he looks sad." Uraraka mumbled. 

"I know. But, Giantess only had one; she can take on two. And Blue had one, so she can have one too." Bakugo explained quietly as Kirishima curled up, his tail wrapped around him. He hid his face in his knees. Bakugo sighed and continued petting his hair, while the egg kept cooking.

Soft Bakugo, a concept we don't see often but need. Blaise mused to herself. 

"She's not gonna make it, is she?" Kirishima whispered after a time jump of an hour. 

Bakugo sighed, scooting over to be next to Kirishima. His arm wrapped around the red-head. "She will. You've seen her; she will." 

"B-But- she can't handle two kids and-"

"She's only handling one. Giantess is getting two, Blue is getting one. Rain is coming back tomorrow; the last two eggs won't hatch by then and Rain will help her."  

"... That's only five." Kirishima whispered, looking up at Bakugo. "What about the last one?"

"Do the math, dumbass, who's the only dragon in this place who doesn't have an egg?" Bakugo got up and walked off while Kirishima watched him, then turned to the white egg. His eyes widened after a moment. 

He scrambled to his feet. "Wait, seriously?!" Bakugo cackled off-screen while the audience saw the egg move slightly. 

"Bakugo is giving the egg to Kirishima?" Kaminari asked. 

"Yep." 

"But.. he's a..?"

"Male dragons, in this universe at least, do most of the hunting while the females do the protecting; and Bakugo can watch a baby dragon while Kirishima's out." Blaise shrugged. The audience stared at her like she had two heads for a moment.

Kirishima was sitting on a grassy cliff face, looking down at what was below. He seemed peaceful, soft tunes showing that until it was broken by..

"I'll show you." Bakugo's voice said a second before he ran full speed towards the edge and jumped like he was diving into a pool. Kirishima visibly panicked and grabbed the blonde's ankle, getting himself dragged down too. 

Kirishima grabbed Bakugo's belt, and then his shoulder. Bakugo was smirking by the time they were face-to-face. Kirishima growled lightly and shut his eyes, transforming into a red dragon the size of a house. On his back was Bakugo, standing between his wings like he wasn't on a dragon hundreds of feet above any solids. Kirishima flew them up to the cliff again, showing below them was rocks and the ocean. Aka, death.

"That was really dangerous." Iida commented. Blaise nodded.

"Yep. But they do it a lot." She shrugged. "It's not like you can ask the person who controls most of the dragons in your country to stop doing something." 

Bakugo was put down and Kirishima turned back into himself, panting. "What was that for?! You could've died! I-" Bakugo's hand covered his mouth, he was smirk-smiling.

"That was awesome!" A voice exclaimed behind them. The camera showed Midoriya, in a green vest with a white shirt and grey gloves, carrying a dragon Eri on his hip. 

"Is that me?" Eri asked quietly. Blaise smiled, nodding her head. "I'm so pretty!" 

Kirishima pushed at Bakugo. "Don't teach her that caper!" He huffed.

"Papa that was super cool! I wanna do that!" Eri exclaimed, climbing out of Midoriya's hold and running towards Kirishima. "Can you teach me to do that?"  She asked with her hands holding one of Kirishima's. 

"And that's all we have for this scene right now." Some of the audience made noises of complaint. "But the next universe is the same, it's just focused on different people. Some people you don't know, actually."
