Chapter 22

The morning came and Bakugou was still tucked in bed. He refused to get up from his bed, but the sun told him otherwise. He rubbed his eyes until they were wide open.


He then sat up, stretching out his arms and yawning big. He ruffled his own hair, which was naturally spiked and wild even when he woke up. He was a bit drowsy, not being full awake.


"Oi. Shitty hair, get up." He said, expecting Kirishima to be sleeping beside him, drooling peacefully, and probably dreaming about food. There was no Kirishima today, because of the fight they had yesterday. He furrowed his eyebrows, biting his lower lip. "Fuck." He mumbled under his breath, realizing that he might have been a bit harsh.


All those thinking got interrupted by Midoriya, who stormed into the room. "Kachan!" He said as he stormed into the room.


Bakugou started to feel angry just by seeing Midoriya. "Didn't I tell you to not call me that?" He asked, trying to keep calm since he just woke up.


Midoriya cleared his throat. "Bakugou!" He corrected himself.


"What do you want?" Bakugou asked with a sigh.


"Breakfast is ready!" He told him and then left him alone in the room.


"Is that all you stormed in for..." Bakugou mumbled, feeling exhausted just from that. He sighed once more and then stood up. He made his way to the bathroom, grabbing a towel.





Todoroki, Midoriya and Kirishima were already by the table where they ate breakfast. As usual, it was all Japanese food. Then again, they didn't really mind. Bakugou then finally had made it.


"Good Morning." He greeted.


"Good Morning." Todoroki and Midoriya both said in sync. Kirishima was the only one who didn't say anything. He didn't even look at him. He just slowly munched on his food. Bakugou sat down, not behind Kirishima this time.


Bakugou noticed Kirishima's hair being down, which wasn't usual. He would always style it in the mornings. He also noticed that his hair was dripping wet, not being nicely dried. After all, Bakugou was always the one scolding him and drying his hair.


Midoriya exchanges looks with Todoroki, as if it was some sort of signal. Todoroki calmly put down his chopsticks beside his bowl of rice, swallowing the food he had munched on in his mouth. "Bakugou, Kirishima." He called out on them, getting their attention. "I need you two to check out something for me." He told them and they listened on closely. "There is this village where people keep on disappearing. No one knows why and how." He started, looking down at his bowl of rice. "I need you two to get me some information about the village."


"I'm sure we visited that place yesterday.." Kirishima thought out loud.


"I know." Todoroki nodded. "After all, Bakugou did tell me." He explained.


"When do you want us to leave?" Bakugou went straight to the point.


"In an hour." Todoroki answered. Bakugou replied with a nod. "A ship's will be ready for you two."


Todoroki and Midoriya exchanged looks again. "I hope it works..." Midoriya whispered to Todoroki, whom just nodded.





"Are you ready?" Bakugou asked from behind Kirishima, who jolted.


"Ah.." Kirishima averted his eyes. "Yes." He answered. An awkward silence happened between them, only to get interrupted. "Then pick up those bags." He ordered. Kirishima did as he said, since he was a king and all. Bakugou carried some as well.


They then started to walk. Bakugou in front and Kirishima behind. They could have taken horses, but that wasn't something Bakugou was so fond of. So, walking it was. They both walked to the ocean, which was actually very close by. Once they arrived, some shipmen took their bag aboard and let them on. Everything was then settled and the ship was ready to sail.


Bakugou was looking out at the ocean by the edge of the ship. His spiky hair was slightly flowing from the wind. Then there was Kirishima who still had his hair down. His hair, unlike Bakugou's, was flowing from the wind as he was looking out at the ocean by the edge as well. There were some space between them as they stood next to each other. They also didn't say anything at all. They just both kept quiet, looking out at the view.


The awkward atmosphere was still there, though Bakugou still decided to say something. "If you couldn't tell by already, we will be staying there for some days." He told him and took a peek at Kirishima to see if he was listening. "It might take some days to find out why they keep disappearing." He briefly explained why.


Kirishima hesitated to respond, but eventually got over it. He sighed and then spoke. "Where will we be staying?" He asked in curiosity.


"Todoroki told me that there will be someone waiting for us when we arrive there. It's supposed to be someone that he knows." He told Kirishima, speaking in a calm tone.


"So, we won't be sleeping at a huge castle or some mansion?" Kirishima asked, again, in curiosity.


Bakugou shock his head. "Sadly not."


"I see..." Kirishima commented.


A silent moment happened between them, the awkward atmosphere slowly making its way back. "Will it be dangerous?" Kirishima out of no where asked.


"What will?"


"Um, our mission?"


"Oh. Erm, maybe?"


"Oh..."


"I mean, it'll be fine since we're here. I have the power to fight, and um, you...?" Bakugou looked glanced at Kirishima, wondering what he was able to do.


Kirishima's eyes met Bakugou's, and neither of them averted their eyes for once. "I can fight too." He told him, having a serious look which Bakugou wasn't used to.


Bakugou swallowed hard, feeling his heartbeat. "G- Good." He almost stuttered his words. They still kept their gazes at each other. Kirishima just looked calm and serious, quite tired as well in fact. Meanwhile, Bakugou was blushing and could hear his own pulse. This lasted for some minutes, making Bakugou crazy and crazy for each second that passed. He couldn't take it, but he didn't want to look away either. It was as if he was drawn into his red eyes.


"When will we arrive?" Kirishima asked.


Bakugou flinched. "About half an hour." He almost mumbled, but managed to clearly say it. Kirishima just nodded once and walked off.


Bakugou found himself swallowing again. He bit his lip, trying to calm his heart down.


Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck!!!


"I don't want to feel like this!"
