Their Hot Romance (BakuDeku)

Chapter Three

Truth or Dare. The game he dreaded the most. He knew it was coming, and he wasn't prepared in the slightest. Truth or dare was the game that people used to really draw out people's darkest secrets or make them do stupid shit, and he fucking hated it. His anxiety was already eating at him, and he certainly didn't need this.

"I'm going home." Katsuki stated the minute the game was mentioned. He rose to his feet with Ryuu's leash tightly clenched in his fist. Ryuu stood up as well. He'd been lying patiently beside his owner, allowing him to tightly grip his fur or pet him as needed.

"What? No! You can't bail!" Mina exclaimed.

"I can do whatever the fuck I want." Katsuki replied with a scowl. He turned to take his leave. That was when he heard the very words that forced him to change his mind because Katsuki Bakugou doesn't back down from a challenge.

"What? Are you too chicken?" Hanta Sero teased. He was always the one using that trick to get Katsuki to go along with whatever they were doing. The trick in which they play on his strive to succeed, to be the best at everything, and his need to win at everything he does. Hell, if the villains that kidnapped him told him he'd be the worst villain in the world, he'd of joined just to prove them wrong.

"Guys, if he doesn't want to play, don't make him play." Denki called out.

"Nah, I'll fucking play." Katsuki growled as he spun back around.

"Dude, you don't-"

"I'm gonna fucking play." Katsuki cut Eijirou off.

"Alright. Then truth or dare, Bakugou?" Hitoshi asked.

"Dare. I'm not a-" Katsuki's body stopped moving. Fuck!

"Good job, Shinsou!" Mina cheered happily. Katsuki felt his heartbeat quicken. He was being controlled. They could ask him anything and he'd be forced to answer. What if they asked him something that would force him to admit his secret? What would he do then?

"Bakugou, I dare you to kiss the person you think is hottest. This dare is from Ashido." Hitoshi deadpanned.

"Guys, this isn't a good idea. We're not high schoolers anymore." Shouto Todoroki stated as Katsuki rose to his feet. Ryuu's leash fell from his hand.

"Yeah. Kacchan clearly didn't want to play. We shouldn't force him." Izuku agreed. A loud bark echoed across the room. Ryuu growled and barked some more as Katsuki walked forward. Eijirou leapt up then yanked his best friend into his arms. Katsuki quickly regained control of his body. He leaned into Eijirou's warmth as he tried to get his bearings.

"C'mon, man. I'll take you to your car." Eijirou whispered. Katsuki could only nod. Eijirou lead his friend away from the group then out of the building with Ryuu following beside them. Katsuki broke down once he was in his car. At first, he just kicked some rocks into the road. Then he ripped open the passenger door and sat down. He sat there until he was sitting with tears streaming down his face. Ryuu was quick to jump into his arms despite the tight fit. "It's okay, Katsuki." Eijirou soothed as he softly rubbed the omega's back. He used his alpha pheromones to assist in calming his friend down.

"Thanks..." Katsuki whispered. He wiped away his tears with the palms of his hands.

"Don't mention it, man." Eijirou whispered softly. He squat down in front of Katsuki then leaned forward and wrapped his arms around him, coating the distressed omega in his scent of cedar and cinnamon. "Those idiots don't always think their decisions through."

"This is fucking stupid." Katsuki muttered as he flopped onto his bed. He had just returned back to his tiny apartment, where he was alone with just Ryuu by his side. He was finally free to completely break. "So fucking stupid."

Ryuu softly whined in attempt to get him to relax.

"I can't believe I got worked up over a game. A game for fuck's sake!" He growled to himself. He felt tears stain his eyes once again. A broken whimper escaped his lips as he furiously rubbed at his eyes. "I fucking hate this! I hate having anxiety! I hate being a goddamn omega! I'm so fucking weak!"

Ryuu practically pounced on him in an effort to get him to calm down. He sniffed at Katsuki's empty scent glands, nudging them in ways that got the omega to take a few deep breaths. Tears steamed down his face as he sobbed. He wrapped his arms around his canine friend, crying helplessly into golden fur. Ryuu waited a few minutes then forced himself out of Katsuki's grip.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Ryuu ran over to the balcony door then pawed at it. Katsuki's brows furrowed.

"You can't use the bathroom up there, idiot."

Ryuu pawed at it a few more times then rushed back to Katsuki's side. He tenderly grabbed the omega's hand in his teeth then pulled. Katsuki allowed his dog to pull him over to the door.

"I told you-"

Ryuu nudged the door a bit more aggressively. Katsuki sighed then opened it. Once again, Ryuu grabbed his hand. Katsuki allowed himself to be dragged outside then forced to sit on the ground.

"Fresh air, huh?" Katsuki muttered. "You do know any of these fuckers could walk out onto their balconies and see me, right?"

Ryuu huffed as he lied down beside his owner.

"Thanks, though."

Ryuu's tail whacked the wooden floor beneath him as if to say 'You're welcome'. Katsuki reached over and scratched his hind end.

He fell asleep out there with his companion by his side. His head rested on Ryuu's ribs, moving with the canine's breathing. Katsuki's naturally heightened body heat kept him relatively warm. He was so exhausted from crying that he didn't remember Ryuu waking him up in the middle of the night, forcing him back into the bedroom by the fabric of his long sleeved shirt.
