It's hot.It's excruciatingly hot as Eijiro walks down the stretch of this highway that seems to go on and on ahead of him, nothing but road and blistering heat from the sun above welcomes the redhead. He gave up on wiping the sweat from his forehead hours ago. A couple cars have passed by him and not a single one stopped and offered him a ride to his destination, not a single one. Kirishima tugs on the collar of his black tank top, attempting to cool down the sweat that drips from his neck, down to his collar bones, down down down, the sweat dripping down to his abs under his tank. He thinks he might die.That is- until the sound of a vehicle approaches from behind him. Kirishima turns around to spot the said vehicle pulling over for him, the engine purring as it comes to a stop."Oh! Thank God! I've been waiting on someone to have some sympathy!" Kirishima smiles, all bright as he makes his way towards the car. When the window rolls down he's met with piercing red eyes giving him a once over."Hey man! I'm ugh...Headed to Skyrock, ya know, the town just ahead from here!" Kirishima asks, tilting his head to stick his head in the window as he takes in the interior of the car. He notices the glove box hanging off it's hinges as if it has never seen better days. The scratches on the console doesn't go unnoticed either. Suddenly, the blonde sighs and takes the lit cigarette out of his lips, holding it between his index finger and middle. "Skyrock? Huh, must be your lucky day shitty hair, i'm headed that way too. Gotta make a couple stops tho, gotta get gas and shit" The blonde says as he rolls his side of the window down, flicking the ash off of his cigarette."Nah, not a problem at all, man! Just glad to get some air conditioning!" Kirishima says as he opens the side door, slouching and getting comfortable in the passenger seat as the car takes off.A couple minutes down the road the blonde stranger asks. "So, The fucks your name, kid?""It's definitely not Shitty Hair" The redhead chuckles but after a beat of silence he answers. "Eijiro Kirishima...Yours?""Katsuki Bakugo" The answer is short and quick. A drag and a puff of his cigarette later, he hits Kirishima with yet another question."What do you like to talk about during car rides?" He asks, causing the redheaded stranger to smirk next to him."Do you believe in ghosts? Vampires and shit too?""Vampires..?" The blonde asks, a hint of a smirk on his expression as his sharp gaze snaps to meet Kirishimas own."Yeah, do you believe those flesh eating monsters exist?" Kirishima asks, his smile brighter than the sun.Katsuki only shakes his head and lets his gaze move back to the road, his arm resting on the console between them, his other gripping the wheel."Somethin like that.."Kirishima smiles and starts ranting about his beliefs, saying that vampires and zombies have a lot in common considering they both crave human flesh, to which Katsuki chuckles at. The drive down the road is filled with Kirishimas rants and cigarette smoke, the wind brushing through soft red hair and the faint smell of cologne. Before long Bakugo turns on his blinker to make a left turn as he pulls the car to a stop at a gas station."Thank god, I gotta take a piss" Kirishima gets out of the car with Bakugo, the two heading into the gas station. The sound of the bell chiming above them greets them as the smell of baked goods fill the air around them."Hey loser, do you want anything while we're here?" Bakugo suddenly asks, causing Kirishima to look over the baked goods. His gaze brighter than the sun as he smashes his index finger against the glass, pointing to a blueberry muffin. He looks up at Bakugo with hope in his eyes, causing the blonde to shake his head with a chuckle."Yeah, yeah, One blueberry muffin and a pack of Newports" Bakugo tells the lady across the counter. Kirishima takes this time to go into the mens bathroom to take his piss.He closes the bathroom door behind him, locking the door, taking his piss, washing his hands, before his gaze flicks up to his own reflection.He's met with wild red hair sticking up everywhere, his spikes had went limp and it was all due to him sticking his head out of Bakugos window moments before, letting the wind brush through his red hair."Sheesh I look like....Like shit."Kirishima tells his reflection before dunking his hands under cold water, splashing his face with it to freshen himself up.Suddenly there's banging on the door."Hey! Hurry up in there, would ya!?"Kirishima blushes in embarrassment as he opens the bathroom door, a sheepish smile overcoming his features as he scratches the back of his neck."Sorry sir...I was-"Before he could finish his sentence the man shoves past him and slams the bathroom door shut, a soft click of the lock afterwards.Rude...By the time Kirishima is back in the car Bakugo is already putting gas in his tank. The faint sound of the radio playing in the background distracts him from the blueberry muffin sitting right next to him on the console. Before long Bakugo is back in the car, turning the radio down to connect it to his phone so he can play his own music."You can eat in my car, but no drooling in my car. Eat the damn muffin and stop drooling like a fuckin dog" Bakugo says suddenly.'You don't have to tell me twice!' Kirishima thinks before grabbing the muffin out of the case. The muffin keeps him quiet as they drive to the next stop, being Kirishimas destination...Hopefully.Kirishima knows he shouldn't trust strangers so easily. But he was in need of cool air on his skin! He was gonna die if someone didn't stop! and besides....Bakugo offered him a free ride and food, soon offering him his destination. Kirishima can't help but want to trust the stranger next to him. He's done everything nice so far. I mean- Yeah he has a bitter attitude and a sharp tongue but it's nothing compared to a free ride and free food.However, when the sun sets around them and Kirishima sneaks a glance over at the blonde stranger he notices Bakugo staring at him. His sharp gaze causing Kirishima to sneak down in his seat. Suddenly Bakugos stomach growls loudly, snapping the blonde out of his daze. He looks back at the road in silence."If your hungry we should stop somewhere" Kirishima suggests but Bakugo only clicks his tongue."Not hungry." He speaks lowly, something unknown in his tone before he grabs his phone and finally, plays a song.[𝙏𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙜, 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙠]Kirishima immediately relaxes once he hears Lady Gaga speaking into the speakers. He's heard this song before but never really paid attention to the lyrics. Kirishima takes the last bite of his muffin, slouching back in his seat before glancing over at Bakugo, watching as his fingers on the steering wheel tap to the beat of the song, leaning against his other arm which stays on the console between them. Kirishima glances at the blondes face, watching him mouth the lyrics."He ate my heart."Kirishima chuckles softly before looking out of the window. He rolls it all the way down and sticks his head out of it. He watches as they fly past a family of deer, who dart their heads up when they hear Lady Gaga's continuous "He ate my heart" lyrics. The sound of the song causes the family of deer to rush into the forest. Kirishima closes his eyes and lets the feeling of the wind brushing his hair take him to heaven. The loud music in his ears sends shivers down his spine. This isn't enough...This feeling isn't enough.Kirishima sticks his head back in the car and takes his seat belt off, causing Bakugo to give him a side glance. Before Bakugo can say anything to stop him, Kirishima turns sideways in his seat, his back pressed against the car door while his feet come up to rest on the console, causing Bakugos arm to fall off of it."Oi! What are you doing?" Bakugo asks but Kirishima ignores him. Instead, the redhead sticks his arms out of the window and above his head, lifting himself higher in his seat so he can hang his epigastric region out of the window as well.The feeling is so much better now.The wind brushes against his hair harder, the wind and the music pounding in his ears. The cold air brushing against his muscles, his arms, his fingers. He bends his elbows above his head, bringing his fingers to run through his red hair, brushing it back and out of his face and he whoops and hollars with the biggest smile on his face."Faster! Drive faster, Katsuki!"He can't see the blondes face, but when the engine purrs and the music gets louder he sighs, letting his arms stretch back out above his head, titling his head back.Faster they drove.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The feeling doesn't last long due to a finger jabbing his ribs. Kirishima sighs and moves his upper body back in the car."What?" Kirishima asks, causing Bakugos gaze to flick over to him. His eyes go back on the road as soon as they glanced over at Kirishima."We're almost there.." Bakugo says, leaning over to turn the music down so he can hear Kirishimas next response."Ah...Good to know, should we stop and get something to eat? I heard your stomach growl earlier and-""Not hungry." Bakugo interrupts."Come on man, I heard your stomach growl...Plus, You didn't eat anything back as the gas stat-""I said I'm not starving!" Bakugo suddenly yells, banging his fists on the steering wheel as he glances over at Kirishima with something deadly in his eyes, his teeth sneering.Kirishima sinks in his seat. His instincts kicking in almost immediately."Pull over...Please" Kirishima whispers, causing Bakugos eyes to widen, the anger on his face vanishing too quickly."What...?" He asks."I said pull over. I'll walk the rest of the way"Bakugo glares at him for awhile before he finally, pulls the car to the side of the road. However, before Kirishima can get out, the doors lock."You dumbass...I'm not letting you walk the rest of the fucking way. It's dark and dangerous out there" Bakugo says but there's something in his gaze Kirishima can't put his finger on.Before he can think too much on it, Bakugo sighs and lets out a quiet "Fuck.."Then-"Fuck fine whatever, we can get something to eat on the way. I just don't feel hungry"Kirishima looks at him for a long time. He finally nods his head slowly and stays quiet as the car takes off again.He's quiet when Bakugo turns the volume back up.He's quiet when he hears Lady Gaga repeat the words "He ate my heart."He's quiet when remembers her saying "That boy is a monster"He's quiet when he lets his thoughts question what Bakugo's true intentions are.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
"Give me a steak, medium rare, water with lemon to drink" Bakugo orders, gaze never leaving the waitress as she flips her notepad and drags her pen across it. The two of them stopped at the first food place they saw. Bakugo told him they sold a lot of meat, indicating he's been here before. The inside of the restaurant is pleasing, the dim lights causing a gold hue to cast on everything in it's wake. They sit at a booth near the very back of the restaurant. A huge window next to them as they sit across from one another. A faint soft rock song playing in the background, very very faintly.𝙏𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙜, 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 "𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙠"]"And for you, handsome?" The lady asks, causing Kirishima to snap out of his daze and look up at her "Ugh...Whatever he's getting, please!" He beams.She races her pen across her notepad before clicking said pen, putting both notepad and pen in her pocket. "Two steaks, medium rare, and two waters to drink...With lemon?" She asks, raising a brow at the redhead, who nods. "With lemon please" She nods and smiles before leaving, leaving an awkward silence between the two men.Kirishima decides to break that silence with a soft laugh. "She called me handsome, did ya hear it Bakugo?" He asks with a smug look on his face.Despite the fact Bakugo had yelled at him earlier, anger in his voice from not being "hungry", he seems calm now, and he glances from his lap to Kirishimas smug face. He leans back in the booth and crosses his arms over his chest."She has absolutely disgusting taste in men." He states with a click of his tongue.Kirishima wails."Oh come on, man! I'm nicely built and I have a pretty face, don't ya think?"
Kirishima asks, emphasizing by flexing his right arm and kissing the muscle."No." Bakugo's reply is short but before Kirishima can reply there drinks are being placed in front of them."Your food will be ready here shortly, boys" She smiles, giving Kirishima a wink before leaving. Kirishima doesn't notice the glare Bakugo gives her when she leaves."Tch, she's gonna be a problem." He mutters, looking down at his drink while Kirishima sips his, chewing on the plastic straw before he pulls off."What? You jealous? Ooooh your totally jealous!" Kirishima teases and sends Bakugo the same wink the lady gave him seconds ago.Bakugo flips him off and leans up to sip his straw, his Addams apple bobbing when he swallows."Not fuckin jealous you dork, she's just getting on my damn nerves. It's pretty clear your not interested in her" Bakugo replies, glancing up at Kirishima with a question in his eyes. His question gets answered when Kirishima opens his mouth."Oh? And who says I'm not interested in her?" Kirishima asks, obviously teasing the blonde who only scowls but before he can answer two plates of steak are being placed on their table, steam radiating off of the meat, the smell causing Bakugos pupils to grow, going unnoticed by the redhead."If you boys need anything else, just lemme know...Oh, and you-" The lady turns around to Kirishima, a small blush on her face.Before she can even ask her question Bakugo snaps."He's not fucking interested woman, back off" He growls. causing her eyes to widen. "Oh...I apologize" She speaks softly. Kirishima is frozen, stays in shock as she walks away."What...The fuck man?" He finally asks, looking over at the blonde."You're not interested." He explains flatly, causing Kirishima to scoff and roll his eyes."What if I was interested in her? Huh? Would you still be mean to her? There's a nicer way to go about it, man!" Kirishima tries, only to snap his mouth shut when Bakugo picks apart his steak with his bare hands, ignoring the knife completely. "M'not nice." Is all he says before chewing into the meat with his fangs, juice dripping down his wrist, causing him to run his tongue over it to catch it."Holy cow...That sight is surprising Mr. "I'm not starving" Kirishima laughs, not really wanting to judge how Bakugo chooses to eat his steak."Shut the fuck up and eat, loser" Bakugo speaks as he digs his bare hands in the steak for another bite.Kirishima does as he's told. He grabs his knife and cuts into the steak, watching as the juices decorate his plate.Once the food is done and their bellies are full, Kirishima grabs the check and pays for it. The two had argued for awhile on who would pay, but Bakugo had given him a free ride, had paid for his muffin, and now it's Kirishimas turn to pay."Holy crap I'm stuffed!" Kirishima sighs and leans back in his seat. The two of them are back in the car, the night sky highlighting the woods from the stars. Their still parked outside of the restaurant. Bakugo however, stays quiet, his gaze has stayed on the steering wheel for minutes on end.His stomach growls."Huh...That's weird, we just ate" Kirishima observes out loud before laughing. "Maybe that's your stomach telling you to go take a shit, huh?" Kirishima asks, looking over at the blonde.Bakugo stares at Kirishima for the longest time. That deadly look from their argument earlier coming back. He leans over towards Kirishima before the redhead snaps his fingers in the blondes face."You good..?" Kirishima asks, raising a brow.Bakugo snaps out of his daze and sneers."I'm gonna do as you suggested and take a shit, I'll be back but it's gonna take awhile. Stay here and keep the doors locked." Bakugo mutters."Okay Dad." Kirishima laughs and locks the door when the blonde leaves, watching him head back into the restaurant.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The moment Bakugo is back inside the restaurant he heads to the bar. The blonde sits down and his stomach rumbles. He hasn't satisfied his craving in days.𝙀𝙖𝙩.
𝙀𝙖𝙩.
𝙀𝙖𝙩.His inner thoughts chant, causing him to growl and stuff his hands in his hair, hunching over to bang his forehead on the edge of the counter.𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙩.
𝙍𝙞𝙥 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣.
𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙚."Oh! You again...How can I help you?"𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩.Bakugo looks up and notices the same girl from earlier. He sighs and looks her up and down."I just came back in here to apologize for earlier...Truth is, I wanted you to be interested in me, not my friend" He lies straight through his canines, keeping his poker face on which causes the girl to smile fondly, believing every word he just said."Oh...Well- Your redheaded friend was cute sure, but your not bad looking either....I'm just- going through a lot right now, needed someone to get my mind off personal things, I guess" She admits, causing his inner thoughts to spiral...She's too easy."Yeah? I can help you" He speaks softly, trying and pretending to actually care."Are you sure..? You don't have too-""Cmon...Why do you think I came in here?" He asks, causing her to laugh from across the counter. She leans over towards him, her face inches away from his."You came in here to apologize...But there's something in your eyes that tell me you came in here for another reason, no?" She teases. The blonde flicks his gaze down to her lips and leans in, there lips inches apart."What's your name..?" He asks her."Ochako Ururaka." She answers. "Yours?" She asks."The time of your life." He replies before finally closing the gap between them. He kisses her with hunger, nothing soft like people do in romance movies, fuck no.He kisses her like he's starving.Pulling her by the collar of her shirt, yanking her closer as he shoves his tongue in her mouth, causing her to moan softly.She pulls away first."Let's get outta here" She suggest, her eyes filled with want and need. Bakugo only chuckles and shakes his head."I can't princess. Don't want my friend knowing I'm an asshole that stole the girl he wants, no? We'll have to sneak into the woods, he won't see us there"He watches as the gears turn in her head, almost like she's about to back out...But she only nods slowly, fully trusting him as she comes to his side of the counter. He takes her hand and rushes out the back door. He tugs her into the forest and immediately shoves her up against a tree, smashing his lips into hers. She mewls, her legs going weak beneath herself. Bakugo notices and picks her up, causing her legs to wrap around his waist. He uses his brute strength to hold her small form up by her hips, pushing her back against the tree for leverage."Fuck me...Please" She whispers against his lips, her hands coming up to run themselves through his soft blonde hair."Yeah? That what you want, princess?" He asks, his pupils growing and his inner thoughts going back into a spiral.𝘽𝙞𝙩𝙚.She nods breathlessly and the blonde immediately latches his lips onto her neck, leaving a mark before biting down hard enough for blood to gush into his mouth. His pupils grow wildly and his stomach roars.𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡.He suddenly places his hand over her mouth to quiet her screams before he devours her neck, tearing skin off of it with his canines, causing her to lose blood. She screams into his palm and sobs, tears running down her face as she shakes her head 'no'Bakugo watches as she chokes on her own blood from bleeding out, watching as the red liquid spits from her mouth and onto his face."You should have never trusted me. Thank you, for being my next feast...I was so fucking hungry" He bares his fangs and shoves her onto the ground. Her body stays limp, blood staining the dark grass below.He watches as the life in her eyes vanishes, stilling in her movements with her last breath.𝙍𝙞𝙥 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙩.Bakugo falls to his knees next to her and immediately tears her shirt into shreds until the cloth is completely out of the way, her stomach bare to the cold air.He licks his lips and moves his fingers to her stomach, ripping her open until nothing is left but her organs on full display.It's messy. So fucking messy with her blood all over his hands, dripping from his fingers, containing blood under his fingernails.𝙀𝙖𝙩.
𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩.
𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙚.He makes himself at home, digging his hands in her stomach and grabbing meat from her ribs. He holds it to his mouth and eats it, pupils dilated, blood staining his teeth, staining his breath, blood on his face, smearing on his chin, dripping off his chin and onto the grass. He growls and moans against the delicious taste. He hasn't satisfied this craving in so long, hasn't truly ate in days, hasn't fulfilled this disturbing, disgusting, petrifying starvation in days.This would have been so much easier if he would have killed Kirishima in his car...Killed and ate him earlier.Oh well, he isn't complaining. He thinks as he digs his bloody fingernails in her lung, tearing a piece off before consuming it."Bakugo..? What are you doing?" Kirishimas voice shakes from somewhere behind him. He growls and fists the grass under himself before tilting his head to the side, glaring at Kirishima behind him.Kirishimas eyes widen when he sees Bakugo turn his head to the side to glare at him.He freezes and watches as blood drips from his chin. He looks down at his hands, noticing them covered in blood, under his finger nails."I can explain..." The response is strained and raspy, causing Kirishima to look back up at his side profile.He's snarling with blood staining his canines."You're fucking crazy.." Kirishima whispers, his voice broken as his eyes start to water, realization dawning over his face.Bakugo watches as the tears hit the grass. Bakugo hears the gasp for air, Bakugo smells the fear radiating out of the redhead.His pupils grow.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
"Kirishima...Don't run." Bakugo whispers, staying perfectly still, his glare keeping Kirishima frozen in place."You fucking killed her and now...Your Eatin-" Kirishima holds his stomach and hunches over, On the verge of throwing up which causes the blonde to growl."Don't you dare fucking puke. The smell will ruin my meal" He spits, causing the redhead to look back up at him with teary eyes."Seeing you kill an innocent woman, ripping her open, and eating her raw was enough to ruin my damn meal..." Kirishima whispers before he shakes his head slowly, furrowing his eyebrows."What the fuck is wrong with you...? Why did you do it? Why are you doing it?" Kirishima asks, expecting answers immediately."I'll tell you if you fucking calm down" Bakugo interjects, causing the redhead to fling his hands in the air with scoff."Calm down!? You're fucking eating somebody!" He yells causing Bakugo to stand up fully, turning around towards him. It makes Kirishima gasp, flicking his eyes down to the ocean of blood staining everywhere on his white tank top. He hunches over to barf again only to force himself to swallow it down, forcing his eyes closed, sweat dripping off from his forehead and hitting the grass."Number one- Nothing is fucking wrong with me, there's just something wrong with what my stomach chooses to digest. Number two- I did it because I was hungry for something other than disgusting human food, I was starving because of what my fucked up stomach chooses to digest. Number three- I'm doing it because it's what my stomach chooses to fuckin digest, yet again""Why the fuck does your stomach choose to digest people!" Kirishima asks, looking up to see Bakugo has his bloody arms crossed over his chest."I don't fuckin know? Ask my stomach" He spits."Fuck you." Kirishima spits back.Kirishima looks down at the body. It's night out...So it's harder to see. However, there's no doubt there's a dead woman on the ground with her intestines ripped out. Kirishima walks closer to the body until he's standing next to the blonde. He looks straight down at her dead figure, noticing everything Bakugo had did to her up close. He opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out. There's tears running down his face, hiccuping back sobs as his hand comes up to his mouth, keeping him quiet in a state of shock.Bakugo keeps quiet. The front of his body facing away from Kirishima. The two stand side by side in silence. However, Bakugo does tilt his head to look at the dead body over his shoulder, his gaze snapping over to Kirishima. He stares at him for a long while...Waiting for anything to be said from the redhead."I can't- You..." Kirishima whispers before shaking his head, turning around to turn his back on the dead body. He sighs, runs his hands down his teary face before looking up at the night sky."I have so many questions Bakugo...This wasn't fair to her and you know it. This is so fucked up and outright wrong" He whispers, his voice breaking on the "wrong"Bakugo tightens his jaw and looks down, clenching his fists by his side."You think I haven't heard those words before, Huh? Go ahead- Tell me I'm a sick fucking monster! Say it!" Bakugo screams at him, completely facing him now, his fist clenching tighter at his sides.Kirishima stares at him and says nothing."I know what I am, you don't need to say it, I've heard it all before! But go ahead- Tell me how I'm a monster! How I'm not human enough to deserve to live!" Bakugo is outright screaming at him now, anger in his voice, in his eyes, outright fuming from him.For the very first time...Kirishima can see something almost vulnerable in his eyes, something that doesn't scream hunger.Suddenly he's being pinned to a tree, causing him to gasp. Fear races through him all at once."Say it." Bakugo whispers, so quiet and broken Kirishima almost misses it. Kirishima stares into searching red eyes, no sign of hunger in them."You're a monster.." Kirishima whispers back, causing Bakugo to bare his bloody fangs and sneer. "I know." He replies. Kirishima can smell wet metal on his breath, can smell blood everywhere, from his soaked shirt, from the grass, from the dead body sitting right next to them, from the air that seems too strong to swallow. Kirishima can also smell fear radiating off the blonde, making the truth a hard pill to swallow for him."Your fucked up....But not all monsters are scary. Not all of them are broken" Kirishima gasps out, gritting his teeth from the lack of air between them. When he looks back down to Bakugo he's met with nothing but a blank stare. His eyes are wide if you squint hard enough, his fangs no longer baring, his brows relaxed.They stay like that for a moment longer before finally, Bakugo shoves him away and gets on his knees infront of the forgotten dead body."Go back to the car if you really need to go to Skyrock, or walk the rest of the way. I don't really give a fuck what you do, but I'm gonna finish my meal and I don't think you wanna see it" Bakugo says, his voice calm as he moves his hand back down to her forgotten lungs.Kirishima looks away.But doesn't leave.He moves over to lean on a tree a few feet away from Bakugos back. The silence is disgusting, the only sounds being the loud slurping and smacking of her lungs in his mouth."I still have so many questions...You have to answer" Kirishima speaks, his eyes staring at Bakugos bloody back now."Go to the car, this is disgusting for you to watch...I'll answer everything as long as you don't tell a soul about this" Bakugo speaks before a loud crunch can be heard, he's probably eating a new body part...Probably her fucking heart."Okay..." The response is short and quick. Kirishima stares at his back for awhile longer before finally, breaking the one rule your parents warn you about for carnivores.He turns his back to a predator and leaves.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"First question...How do you hide the bodies?" Kirishima asks, looking over at the blonde. Their back in the car now, driving down the road to Skyrock. Bakugo had changed clothes due to having spared ones in his trunk...Of course. However, For the first couple of minutes it was nothing but silent. though, Kirishima had questions he deserved answers too."I don't." Bakugo states simply before explaining. "I kill my victims in the woods. And If I don't, I drag them to the woods after I eat them. When the cops find them, they just say it was a bear, or a wolf, or a cougar...Basically any predator in the woods that would eat a human. The reason they don't investigate thoroughly is one of two reasons. Number one- They hate their jobs and don't get paid enough so they don't wanna do their jobs. Which would investigating. Instead- they stick to the obvious reason why the body may be there...Being some carnivore or predator ate it in the woods. People who hate their jobs would blame an animal before they blame the real predator"Kirishima takes a minute to take the explanation in, before clearing his throat."What's the other reason...Why they wouldn't investigate? You said there was one of two-""Second reason being they couldn't find anything even if they did investigate. Starving wolves will eat something down to the fuckin bone. Meaning by the time the cops investigate, there won't be nothing but a skeleton"Kirishima nods and looks ahead at the road."They can still find your fingerprints on the bones..." Kirishima observes."That's why I don't touch the bones when I eat...Ya know, If I really wanted to eat her bones I could have...Look it up, cannibals can eat bones""After what I just seen, that doesn't even surprise me" Kirishima chuckles, shaking his head.Bakugo smirks and looks over to him."Any more questions..?" He asks, causing the redhead to scoff and laugh "Ugh...Duh, I have a billion questions!"Bakugo only chuckles and licks his blood stained teeth. "Shoot."Kirishima is quiet for a minute, staring at the road ahead of him as he thinks about how he's gonna ask his question. Bakugo sends him a side glance, but otherwise stays silent."Were you planning on eating me?" Kirishima asks in a whisper."Yes." The answer is quick and simple, making it a hard pill to swallow for him.It's silent again after that, before Kirishima breaks it."Why didn't you..?" He asks, causing the blonde to sigh and lean back in his seat, gaze staying on the road ahead."I didn't know how to get you in the woods alone without making it suspicious" He clarifies.Kirishima snorts next to him. "And how the hell did you get a woman to go into the woods alone with you, after you yelled at her before that?" He asks, causing Bakugo to smirk."I have my fuckin ways.."Kirishima stays quiet after that. A couple minutes down the road Kirishima sees a sign ahead reading "Welcome to Skyrock""We're here" Kirishima says the moment they pull into the hotels parking lot."No shit." Bakugo replies.Kirishima doesn't leave right away. The two of them sitting in silence. Kirishima decides to be the first one to break it like he always does."See ya around...?" He asks.Bakugo only stares at the steering wheel, no chuckle or smirk like he usually does."No...I don't think you will" He whispers. The truth hurts, making it another hard pill to swallow, this time, maybe for the both of them.Ah, who is he kidding, Bakugo won't miss him he knows that. Kirishima was only a failed potential meal for the blonde, nothing more. Kirishima should be happy about it, happy that he got a free car ride, free food twice, and be a failed hunt for a cannibal.But, he's not. Maybe it's because Kirishima wants to know more about Bakugo, such as his past. Or maybe- It's because he's lonely and Bakugo is the only company he's had in so long..."Ah...Alright then, I guess I'll get going" Kirishima responds before opening the car door.He doesn't even make it five feet away before Bakugo whips his car around and speeds down the road.Kirishima stares at his car until it disappears behind the trees. He sighs, and makes it inside the hotel."How may I help you?" Someone asks at the counter. Kirishima looks up and is met with a pair of heterochromia eyes. One blue and the other a grey-ish color. His eyes aren't the thing that takes him by surprise. It's the mans half white / half red hair. Kirishima sighs and looks down at his own hands."I'd like a room please, I don't really care which one Im just tired.." He says."Long night?" The man behind the counter asks him.Oh if he only knew."Yeah...Real long" He responds."Okay." The man behind the counter replies before sliding keys to the redhead. "Room 104""Thank you sir" Kirishima gives the man the best smile he can and takes the keys upstairs."104,104,104" Kirishima chants to himself. When he finds said number he lets a satisfied sigh leave him before unlocking the door.It's almost lonely already. The twin beds a few feet away from each other, each side by side. A tv on the other side of the room, hanging on the wall, a bedside table in the middle of the two beds.Your everyday basic hotel room basically.The first thing Kirishima does is take a steaming hot shower, brushing his teeth, and sliding into some pajamas before finally collapsing on one of the beds.As much as he wanted to, as much as he needed it, Kirishima doesn't get a wink of sleep that night. I mean- How could you when you got into a car with a cannibal, ate with a cannibal twice, talked like nothing was wrong, acting like that same cannibal was just as normal as you were...And then- watching the said cannibal eat the only thing he knows how to.Kirishima sighs and closes his eyes. Finally getting some very much needed sleep.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
When Kirishima wakes up it's due to loud knocking on his door. He groans and stretches before hearing a louder knock. "Alright!...Jeez" He groans, finally getting up from his bed.When he opens the door he's met with bright golden hair, golden eyes to match, and a black lighting bolt carded through strands of hair."House keeping!" The blonde chirps with a smile.Kirishima looks the man up and down, taking in the black and white suit the man wears to add "profession" to his house keeping job. Kirishima only smiles and shakes his head. "Come on in, I'll be in the bathroom" With that, he steps aside to the let blonde in.Once he's cleaning up Kirishimas messy bed he decides to leave the blonde alone, walking into the bathroom to freshen up before he has to leave. While he's brushing his teeth, his phone starts to ring in his sweatpants. Without looking, Kirishima answers the phone, holding the phone against his shoulder, using his cheek to keep it in place as he continues brushing his teeth."Hello?" Kirishima asks around his toothbrush."Kirishima! Where the hell are you!? Have you made it to Skyrock yet?" The woman on the other end asks. Kirishima sighs when he hears her voice, bending down to spit his waste in the sink before sloshing water in his mouth."Eijiro Kirishima!"Kirishima spits the water out and grabs a towel to dry his hands, keeping his phone to his shoulder and cheek. "Okay woman! Jeez....Yes Mina, I've made it to Skyrock. I'm in one of the hotels near the end of town. Where are you?""I'm at my house, duh...But I have plans tonight with a friend, We're going to Skyrocks new bar, she's bringing her boyfriend, I expect you to come with""Alright, Alright...Send me the location and I'll be down there in a couple hours""Hours!?" Mina screams, causing Kirishima to scoff and pull the phone away from his ear. He places it on the sink and messes with his hair in the reflection as he speaks."Yes hours...I don't have a car and you know that. I found a way down here thanks to a...-" Kirishima cuts himself off, the memories from last night flooding back to him. From the smell of blood, the dead body, the sound of lungs against hungry canines, to the feeling of seeing it all happen right before his eyes."Kirishima...You there?" Mina asks, causing Kirishima to shake his head from the thoughts."Ugh...Yeah sorry- Just send me the location and I'll try to get a cab or something" He responds"Okay well please hurry! I wanna get their early! Come by my place so I can help you get ready for tonight!" Mina demands.Kirishima scoffs and grabs the phone before leaving the bathroom. When he makes it back to the bedroom, the blonde stranger had already left. Kirishima notices the neatly made bed and the smell of febreze in the air."Okay okay, let me get outta here and get a cab, bye" Kirishima hangs up before he can hear Mina rant her ass off to him. He doesn't need to pack much, due to not bringing anything with him.Kirishima makes his way out of the hotel, waving the guy behind the counter bye, who only nods his way before his colored eyes look elsewhere. The moment Kirishima steps outside he's met with the cold wind on his skin, sending a shiver down his spine as his phone vibrates in his pocket.[𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙖]: W̲a̲t̲e̲r̲f̲a̲l̲l̲ ̲i̲n̲n̲ ̲a̲p̲a̲r̲t̲m̲e̲n̲t̲s̲
[𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙖]: Apartment number is 304, Don't be late! ;DKirishima shakes his head and stuffs his phone back in his pocket before waving down a taxi. The moment he steps foot in the backseat he's met with a pair of yellow eyes staring at him and pink locks."Heya! I'm Hatsume Mei and I'll take you wherever you want! Just let me know where the wind is facing!" The loud girl says, smiling brightly as she chuckles to herself. Kirishima watches as she twirls a pink lock between her fingers."Do you happen to know where the Waterfall apartments are?" Kirishima asks, watching as she blows a bubble of bubblegum and pops it. "Sure do!" Is all she says before turning around and hitting the gas.What a weird taxi driver...The drive there is mostly quiet, she keeps the radio on Bluetooth so she can listen to a certain podcast Kirishima is unfamiliar with. At least she's not one of those weirdos who listens to podcasts about politicians and political opinions. Kirishima had fallen asleep by the time they arrive. Hatsume giggles and turns around to poke her finger against his cheek, causing him to slur awake."Wakey wakey! We're here sleepyhead! Now give me my money!" She asks with a pop of her bubblegum. Kirishima hands her what she wants, telling her to keep the change as he crawls out of the taxi."Number 304, number 304, number 304" He chants to himself. Once he sees a side of the apartments with the numbers "300-400" He knows he's getting closer. He heads in that direction and reads the numbers on the door before finally coming to a stop.The pale pink door with the number 304 stares back at him. Kirishima feels his heart thump loudly against his chest, it's been so long since he's visited Mina...He can't help but feel a little nervous.Suddenly, the door swings open and he's immediately being swarmed by strong arms. She squeals and hugs him tighter. "I've missed you so much!" She says while giggling, standing on her tippy toes to run her fingers through his hair. "You could really use more red dye..." She studies with a teasing smirk as she pulls away.Kirishima can feel his heart move back to a steady rhythm, no matter how long he goes without seeing Mina, she always acts like she's seen him yesterday. He smiles and chuckles before responding."Yeeeeaah...I could use your help getting ready. I didn't bring any clothes with me" He pouts."Yeah no, you need to explain why you don't have clothes with you, and why you didn't drive here with your own car..." She gets straight to the point, crossing her arms over her chest, raising a brow as she presses further with "You have a lot of explaining to do Eijiro"Kirishima studies her expression, seeing nothing but seriousness. He sighs and stuffs his hands in his pockets."I'll....Explain everything okay? Just let me in?" He asks, causing her to sigh and shake her head. However, without much further pressing, she invites him inside with a wave of her hand."Lay your cards on the table, no cheating" She says the moment the two of them sit on the couch. Kirishima sits next to her, nodding his head as he sighs and tells her everything he can remember."You remember my boyfriend Shindo? Well- He's my ex boyfriend now but that's besides the point..." Kirishima starts, waiting for Mina to interrupt but when she doesn't, he continues."When I got your text telling me to come see you sometime, I told Shindo to take me to Skyrock for a couple of days so I could visit you...He said it was okay, and I packed my clothes, hair dye, hair supplies, my toothbrush, I brought literally everything but...On our way down here we got into a horrible argument and he basically kicked me out of the car and drove off. I was fucking stranded with nothing but my wallet and my phone Mina...So, I decided to just fucking walk over here, but some guy stopped and helped me, he drove me all the way out here. But yeah, that's why I didn't come in my own car, because he was gonna drive me in his, and of course, everything I packed is still in his car...Which is hours away from here"When he's finished, he steals a glance over at Mina. She's looking at him with disappointment in her eyes. She sighs loudly and leans back against the couch, her arms crossing over her chest as she shakes her head."I told you he was immature and toxic, but you stayed with him Eijiro. You should have listened to me all those months ago" She tells him, causing his heart to break because she was always right, and he was too caught up in thinking it could actually work, instead of actually listening to her."I know...I'm sorry but- hey! I can stay with you until I can get back on my feet now! That's great right? We have all the time in the world to spend time with one another now!" He beams."Yeah yeah, I'm curious about that guy who helped you get over here...You can't just trust strangers Ei" She says, causing his eyes to widen as he's taken back to the smell of blood and the dead body..."Let's...not talk about that, it doesn't matter anyway! How about you help me get ready for this boring bar!" He teases, nudging her. She gives him a questioning look but doesn't press further. Instead, she smiles and stands up from the couch."It's not gonna be boring Eijiro but cmon, I'm gonna make you look like a prince!" She nods and practically drags him to her bedroom.
"Ouch!" He cries."Hold still then!" She responds.The two of them are currently in the process of doing Kirishimas hair. He sits on the ground, leaned up against the foot of her bed while she sits behind him, tugging his hair into a French braid at the side of his head, braiding it all the way back into a loose ponytail. They had already re-dyed his hair, now she's just fixing it."There! You look so pretty!" She exclaims when she's done. He immediately grabs her small mirror she uses for her makeup and tilts his head to look at her work."It looks good....But- it wasn't worth the pain" He pouts, causing Mina to scoff and push his shoulder from above him."Oh hush and come on! It's time for your outfit!" She all but drags him to her closet."I already know what I want you to wear, so don't argue with me" Is all she says before grabbing a plain black shirt, a red flannel to go over it, some god awful grey ripped jeans, and last but not least, the most basic black high top converse in history. She all but throws the outfit his way, causing him to catch everything with fumbling hands."Hmm...Something is missing" She studies the outfit in his arms before he can practically see a light bulb go off in her head.
"Ah ha! I got just the thing! You change in here and I'll go grab the finishing touch!" She exclaims before rushing off to her bathroom.Kirishima sighs and strips himself before putting on the outfit she picked out for him. He leaves the closet, stepping into her room before catching sight of himself in her stand up mirror. He comes to the conclusion that he looks...really hot."I told you I had taste!" She's immediately at his side, holding up the said "finishing touch" which is just eyeliner. He scoffs and turns his his head away."I never doubted you....But I ain't wearing that-""Oh yes you are! Do you wanna look hot or not?""I already look hot enough, lets just go before we end up late!" He flails.He ended up being forced to wear eyeliner...However, he can't complain too much, because he looks like the hottest man that's ever walked earth.That's what he thinks at least, as he messes with his ponytail in Minas bathroom mirror. Before long he can hear Mina fumbling for her keys, digging them out of her pocket as she dances around the bed. She stops and stares past the open bathroom door, staring at him in the reflection of her own mirror before scoffing."Dude, you look fine, it's not like your trying to impress anyone" She says before walking out of view...She slowly backs up until Kirishima can see her in the reflection again."Are you..?" She raises a curious brow."Um...No?" He responds, uncertain.The thought of Bakugo comes to mind, creeping up in his memory like a snake. The gentle smirks thrown his way from time to time, the rough gravel-like laugh the blonde would make very rarely, as if hearing the sound was equivalent to finding gold in the mines, to the drag of cigarette smoke brushing against a pale muscle sitting on the console between them....To suddenly, blood stained fangs digging into a dead womans lungs, the sight of blood underneath fingernails, the smell of metal fuming in the air."I can explain." He had said, as if any sort of explanation was good enough.The womans lifeless body laid still and bare, the color of her blood was dark yet it glistened due to the moons reflection. Everything about her was lifeless and silent, from her last breath which was only a gurgle of blood pooling out of her mouth, to the life leaving her eyes. She went quiet."Hello? Earth to Eijiro!" Minas suddenly in his space, snapping her fingers at him.When he snaps out of it, he stares at her for a moment..."Can we please just go? I'm already wanting a nap" He confesses. To which she scoffs and tugs his flannel, dragging him out of the house.
By the time they arrive, their sat in the parking lot, sitting in Minas pink jeep."It's not as packed as I thought it was gonna be!" Mina observes as she steps out of the jeep, Kirishima following suite."Yeah? Well maybe that's because we're early" He counters as they walk to the huge entrance side by side.The moment they step foot into the huge bar, the smell of perfume and alcohol fumes the air, the loud music booming all around them. Suddenly, Kirishimas being dragged to the bar by Mina."Hey guys! This is Kirishima! Ya know- The friend I was texting you guys about!" Mina beams."Oh yeah! I was your room service man! Ya remember me?" The blonde with the black stripe asks, causing Kirishima to nod slowly."Anyway! The names Denki Kaminari! This is my girlfriend Jiro-" He points to a shorter girl who gives him an unimpressed glare, twirling her earbud around with her finger."Sup?" She asks, but Kaminari interrupts her."And this is Mina! Oh...Right- You guys already know each other"Kirishima snorts and Mina sighs, while Jiro creases her nose in disgust and looks away with a quiet "Dumbass.""Do you guys wanna dance with me?" Mina asks them, raising her eyebrows in question.Kaminari glares at her for a moment, his eyes glancing to his girlfriend before he smiles sheepishly."I'm actually gonna take my girlfriend on the dance field, but you guys can dance together""Kami wait-" Jiro says with a flustered expression but it's too late, Kaminari already rushing her to the crowded dance floor, leaving Mina and Kirishima alone."Wanna-""No." Kirishima says before Mina can ask him, causing her to groan loudly."My god your no fun!" She says before sitting in a stool at the bar, Kirishima following suite."I can't dance, and with you of all people? You can actually dance! I suck at it! Me with you would be like putting a lion in a pen of cows!"Mina gives him an unimpressed glare before scoffing, getting up from her seat as soon as she sat in it."Fine, I'll find someone who can keep up with me!" She sticks out her tongue and disappears into the crowd, leaving Kirishima alone at the bar.If there's one thing about Mina...She really can't sit still for long."Hello, is there anything I can get for you?" Someone asks behind the bar, causing Kirishima to swirl in his seat, now facing the woman asking him. She has long black hair that's pulled up into a high pony tail....Her clothes are a little exposing on the chest, but Kirishima is a gentlemen and doesn't dare glance down."Um...Some whiskey will be fine" He settles on, causing her to nod and walk away to make his drink.Kirishima takes this time to take in his surroundings, turning his bar stool around to look at the crowd, the dance floor specifically considering everyone's on it. He notices Kaminari dancing with Jiro, watching as his hands find her waist, leaning in to whisper something in her ear, causing her to tilt her head back with a laugh.Fuck he's lonely."Your whiskey, sir" The woman speaks softly behind him, almost going un-heard due to the loud music. Kirishima turns in his bar stool once more, saying a quiet "thanks" as he takes his whiskey in hand.Suddenly, there's money being slammed onto the bar next to him, a demanding "Shot of tequila." coming from the strangers mouth. The sound of his voice is familiar- Like gravel or a match being lit aflame. When Kirishima looks up at the stranger next to him, he chokes on his whiskey and starts coughing."Oh! Are you okay sir!" The woman behind the counter asks as she takes Bakugos money."He's fuckin fine. Make my drink, I got em" Bakugo gives her a glare, causing her to nod and turn around quickly.Kirishima chokes on air, clutching at his chest as he swats Bakugos hand away, who's now sitting on the bar stool next to him."What the fuck are you doing here?" Bakugo asks in a whisper, as if he'd been caught doing something he wasn't supposed to."Me!? What the hell are you doing here?" Kirishima whispers back in a shout, causing the blonde to roll his eyes and run a hand through his hair."Fuck...This wasn't supposed to happen" Bakugo whispers, but this time it was to himself. Kirishima raises a brow and turns his bar stool to face Bakugo."Are you following me?" He asks, causing Bakugo to scoff and rest his elbows on the counter...It's quiet for a moment but Bakugo gives him a side glance that could kill."Are you fuckin dumb? Why would I follow you? Why on earth would you be any use to me?" He asks, causing Kirishima to laugh bitterly."Wow, okay...So why are you here then? huh?""Because I'm hungry." The answer is short and quick, but it was heard by more than one person, when it was only meant for Kirishima."Oh! We have some food here if you'd like sir! We sell baked goods such as-" The lady behind the counter starts, she had came back with Bakugos drink. However, he's having none of it."Shut the fuck up lady, I wasn't talking to you. If I wanted something to eat here, don't ya think I woulda ordered it? Mind your fuckin business and do your damn job"He spits at her, snatching his shot from her hand and downing it all in one go, keeping his eyes on her as slams his empty shot on the counter, sliding her another dollar."Let's try this shit again, yeah?" He asks...It's quiet for a moment and she nods slowly, taking a step backwards, stumbling into the wall behind her."I'll get your drink made right this time sir..." She whispers before turning around immediately.It's quiet again and Kirishima wants to scold him for acting this way...However, it's no use and he knows it. Instead, he starts off with a question."Why did you come to Skyrocks new bar of all places? You dropped me off at Skyrock, so why didn't you think I'd be here? I mean- You obviously didn't wanna see me again- So why couldn't you have looked somewhere else for a victim? Why Skyrock?"Bakugo is quiet for a second...He turns around in his bar stool to face Kirishima before sighing."I came back because I wanted to see you" He states with his poker face, looking dead serious."Wait...Really?" Kirishima looks up from his lap to find Bakugos eyes."Fuck no- I wanted nothing to do with you after I dropped you off here, so I forced myself to forget about your existence. I was successful at it...So, when I heard Skyrock had a new bar I knew immediately this place would give me an easy meal..." He explains.Kirishima looks down at his lap, defeated...What he doesn't expect- is for Bakugo to continue speaking."I'm not here because I'm stalking you, I'm here because I'm driven by hunger and I forgot your very existence."Kirishima looks up to see dark red eyes staring down at him...If looks could kill- He would have been dead weeks ago."Your shot of tequila, sir!" The lady is back but Bakugo doesn't even look at her, just takes the shot and downs it, slamming it on the counter, his eyes never leaving Kirishima. The two men stare each other down, causing the lady behind the counter to clear her throat and walk away. Bakugos hand on his shot tightens."So...You really forgot about me? That quickly?" Kirishima asks him, causing Bakugos eyes to narrow, his brows scrunching."Fuckin obviously, I'm only here because it's an easy opportunity to ease my craving, nothin more" He states.Kirishima nods and turns his head away to look at the crowd. He spots Kaminari and Jiro making out against a wall while Mina dances with a stranger. When he looks back Bakugo is gone, the only thing left of his existence being the tip he left for the lady behind the counter. Kirishima doesn't dwell on Bakugo leaving, after all- Bakugo wanted to forget about him, so Kirishima lets that happen, starting with ordering another drink of whiskey."Hey Eijiroooo! Wanna dance!?" Mina asks, suddenly next to him. Kirishima sips his whiskey, looking at her behind his cup before answering."You were just dancing with a stranger, and didn't I tell you no earlier?" He asks her with an unimpressed glare, causing her to scoff and cross her arms over her chest."Yes, I was dancing with a stranger before he asked me to go home with him...I told him to fuck off, now I'm here asking you! Annnd- I helped you look so hot, therefore I deserve a dance, just this once" She asks, giving him puppy dog eyes.Kirishima looks around, definitely not looking for a certain blonde. However, once Kirishima realizes there's no sight of him, he sighs and stands up, letting Mina drag him to the crowd of dancing strangers.The moment they step foot onto the dance floor, Minas arms immediately wrap themselves around his shoulders, causing his hands to come to her waist."Am I doing this right?" He asks, causing her to snort and move her feet. "Just follow my lead and copy my steps" She suggests, to which Kirishima complies to. He steps backwards when she steps forward, and moves towards her when she takes a step back.
"Your getting the hang of it" She whispers into his neck, causing him to shiver."Ugh...Thanks?" He chuckles before someone bumps into him, causing him to fall over and bump into another pair of dancers."Shit! I'm so sorry!" He begins to speak before looking up to the dancers he had bumped into. He comes face to face with Bakugo yet again, causing the blonde to scowl."You..." He starts, but the man he was dancing with takes a step in front of him. "Hey it's okay man, things happen!" The stranger speaks, his black hair pulled into a messy bun."It's fine...What's your name?" Kirishima asks, causing the black haired stranger to beam. "The names Kai, yours?" He asks."Kirishima" He speaks only for Bakugo to groan loudly.Kirishima turns around to see if he can get back to Mina, but when he turns around she's gone...Of course. He turns back only to catch a glimpse of Bakugo dragging Kai away from the dance floor, the two of them disappearing right after.
Kirishima sighs and takes a step forward before feeling something under his foot. He leans down and picks the object up...It's a wallet. He opens it and reads the id as "Kai Yamasuki"
Kirishima immediately follows Bakugo to hopefully return the lost wallet. When he makes it out of the dance floor there's no sign of the blonde. Kirishima checks the bar only to find nothing...Soon, he makes his way to the restrooms and stops in his tracks when he hears Bakugos voice. It's not coming from the bathrooms, but it's coming from a hallway to his left that leads to the "staff only" room. Kirishima knows their not supposed to be down there. However, he hides out of sight and listens to Bakugos voice from down the hall."So what? You do realize we can't smoke in this place, right?" Bakugo asks."Yeah but...What are the odds we get in trouble? just give me a cigarette, man" Kais voice is a lot softer than Bakugos, Kirishima notices."I don't have to give you shit, we just met- Look- I don't wanna get in trouble, why don't we smoke outside?" The blonde asks."It's cold out there!" Kai replies with a audible pout."Your such a fuckin wuss, I'm outta here-""Crap fine...We can smoke outside!" Kai panics.It goes quiet for a moment, causing Kirishima to peak around the corner. He sees Bakugo facing him, but he's looking down at Kai with that hunger in his eyes that Kirishima knows too well. Kai faces away from Kirishima, his back to him as Bakugo towers over the black haired man."I got more than just a cigarette if your interested Kai..." Bakugo whispers, making a show of looking around to make sure nobody comes down the hallway towards them, but when he does, his gaze lands on Kirishima.Bakugos eyes are off him and back on Kai immediately."I got some weed...The good shit, but we'll have to go to the woods to smoke it, I really don't want to get caught, you in?" Bakugo asks him.Kirishimas eyes widen when he sees Kai nod and giggle to himself. When they turn around to walk towards Kirishima and out of the hallway, Kirishima panics."Kai! There you are! You dropped your wallet!" He says before shoving the wallet to the man. Kai smiles and takes it from the redhead."Gosh thanks! Your a life saver, I owe you, really, thank you!" He beams before walking towards the exit, ready to go into the woods to smoke some "weed" with a complete stranger...Suddenly, Kirishimas being pinned to the wall, causing him to gasp softly. Bakugo is right in front of him, sneering his fangs as he growls."Why the fuck are you following me?" He asks, pushing Kirishima further up on wall. "I want to forget about you, but your making that difficult to do when your everywhere I look"Kirishima stares up at Bakugo with an unreadable expression, his heart pounding against his chest."I just wanted to give the poor man his wallet back before you murder him and eat him" He seethes."Oh yeah? You know what my intentions are with him, and you and I both know a wallet means nothing to a dead man."Kirishima stays quiet after that because it's true...Kai will be dead soon, his wallet will mean nothing and Kirishima knows that...However, Kirishima knows that Kai is a sweet guy, and odds are he doesn't deserve to be a victim to a monster."Bakugo...Don't do this- Take me instead" Kirishima finally whispers, submitting underneath the blonde, his knees going weak.Bakugo goes rigid, his eyes widening and Kirishima can see the gears turning in his head."What..? No, fuck no" Bakugo spits."Why? You said you want an easy meal, I'm as easy as your gonna get! Just let him go and take me!" Kirishima begs underneath him."Ahem..." Someone snaps them out of their daze. When the two of them look over, they see a staff member looking at the two of them with anger in his eyes."You guys are too close to the staff room down the hall, I'm gonna have to ask you boys to take this fight outside" The staff member says before turning around "If you guys don't decide I'll make the decision for you both"When the staff member leaves with his warning, it goes quiet...Bakugo looks back down at Kirishima while the redhead waits for his response. However, Bakugo suddenly leans in, their faces inches apart."You might be the easiest option, sure...But fuck that- I don't want you" Bakugo speaks, his gaze ripping Kirishimas soul from inside out."Why...? I'm right here." He asks in a whisper, his gaze moving down to Bakugos lips subconsciously.Bakugo doesn't respond, he stays quiet while the sound of the music blares behind them. When he notices Kirishima staring down at his lips he holds the redheads chin up between his thumb and index, causing Kirishimas red eyes to meet his."Let me fuckin have this." He whispers before pulling off Kirishima completely, his hands stuffing themselves in his pockets as he walks towards the exit where Kai waits for him.Kirishima watches as Bakugo wraps his arm around Kais shoulder, the two of them walking out of the door. He gives Kirishima one last glare before the door shuts behind them. Kirishima stares at the door for a minute or two, before he finally looks around only to spot the three of his friends at the bar, laughing and giggling as they share a conversation from afar. He makes his way towards the said bar, and once he's in earshot he can hear the conversation the three are sharing."I think it's time to get outta here, what do ya say guys?" Kaminari asks the two girls, who only nod in agreement. When Jiro yawns Kaminari smiles and wraps his arm around her waist, pulling her close."Yeah! I'm tired from all this dancing, Let's go Eijiro" Mina says, to which Kirishima only shakes his head."Nah, I'll catch a cab and go home with you later...I wanna get drunk and forget about a couple of personal things" He explains, to which Mina raises a brow at. However, she understands...They had the talk about Shindo earlier."Let me have this." He tells her, to which she sighs and nods, hopping off her seat as she starts to make her way to the exit."You better be home before ten" She warns, to which he nods in understanding. He watches the three of them head to the exit door and the moment they leave he waits for a minute or two, before making it outside himself. Once he steps outside, the night sky welcomes him with a gentle breeze across tanned skin. Minas car is gone, meaning she's gone...Just what he wanted.
Kirishima walks into the woods, searching for a certain blonde...The only way he can track him down is by using his five senses, starting with sight. He looks around to find nothing, the only thing he can see is the night sky above him and dark trees surrounding him, and the grass beneath his converse. He uses his next sense being hearing. It's quiet around him, the only sound being the crickets hidden in the tall grass...His uses his next sense being smell. However, he can't smell shit besides the air...The last senses being taste and touch. However, he can't taste shit besides the leftover alcohol on his tongue, and the only thing he's touching is...nothing.He's getting nowhere. Who knew tracking down a cannibal would be so hard? It's like trying to find a predator before said predator finds you. Which is impossible. An animal can smell, hear, and see ten times better than a human, meaning an animal could track down a human before it goes the other way around.And apparently, that's exactly what happens."Still stalkin me, huh?" The predator in question asks from behind him, causing Kirishima to turn around. He spots Bakugo a few feet away from him, leaning against a tree as blood leaks from his chin, tracing down his black shirt. Bakugo sneers to lick the blood off a fang with his tongue. Kirishimas senses come crashing into him again all at once, starting with sight. He can see the dark liquid dripping down Bakugos chin, trailing down to his neck, he can see the blood underneath the blondes fingernails, coating his fingers, staining them a pretty red.
The next sense being hearing. He can still hear the crickets singing around them. However, he can hear Bakugos slow breathing just a few feet away from him, but it's not enough...Kirishima takes a step closer to see if he can hear anything else but to no avail, there's nothing. Kirishima walks closer, until he's standing right in front of the blonde. He can hear the surprised gasp leaving Bakugo, the blondes eyes narrowing in confusion as his brows crinkle.His next sense being smell. There's no doubt it's the strongest thing he can sense as of right now. Kirishima inhales sharply, keeping his eyes glued on Bakugo. He can smell wet metal, can smell metallic liquid, can smell blood and alcohol from the blondes steady breathing. There's no doubt Bakugo is studying him, trying to figure out what exactly Kirishima is doing, but he does it in silence, leaning on the tree next to him, his brows still furrowed and his eyes still narrowed, as if he's trying to see right through the redhead.Kirishima moves onto his next sense, being taste.He finally breaks eye contact to look down at Bakugos hand, watching as the blood leaks off of it and onto the grass below them. Kirishima slowly grabs his hand and Bakugo let's him. The blonde doesn't say anything, just let's Kirishima do his thing with eyes full of curiosity. As if he's never seen someone being so calm after he ate another being. As if this is normal...Kirishima brings his other hand to hover over Bakugos own. He finally trails his index finger over Bakugos palm, letting the blood sit on his finger. Kirishima then brings that same finger to his mouth, letting the new taste of blood settle on his tongue...He's tasted blood before, but not like this...Never like this. Kirishima closes his eyes and hums against his own finger. He takes it out without a second thought. When he opens his eyes and looks up at Bakugo, he notices the blondes pupils are dilated.
Kirishimas last sense being touch...However, he decides to skip that part."Your curious?" Bakugo speaks in a whisper. His voice sounding like a question rather than a statement."I'm curious about you, and why you crave this." He responds before sighing. He lets Bakugos hand go and walks past him, heading towards Bakugos car."Now that I've got a little taste, I still don't understand your weird craving..." Is the last thing he throws over his shoulder before heading over to the blondes car. He doesn't get in it of course, he only stands behind it and taps the trunk. Bakugo watches him and doesn't think twice before digging in his pocket, grabbing his keys to unlock his car. The moment it's unlocked Kirishima opens the trunk and grabs the spare clothes he knew were in said trunk. He then makes his way back to Bakugo, shoving the spare clothes to Bakugos chest. The blonde looks up at him before clicking his tongue."I don't need your help." He speaks before throwing the spare clothes on the grass beneath him. He then yanks his shirt over his head, exposing abs and a slim waist that catches Kirishimas attention. He notices the dry blood that had made it's way down Bakugos neck, leaking down to his abs."Like watcha see?" Bakugo suddenly asks, causing Kirishima to snap out of his thoughts. He looks up to see a smirk on Bakugos face."I don't think a cannibal is supposed to be hot." Is all Kirishima responds with, turning his back to Bakugo to let him change clothes in peace."Tch, not only do you follow me around like some stalker, but your a freaky bastard too?" Bakugo says from behind him, causing Kirishima to laugh and roll his eyes."At least I don't eat people.""Fair enough." The response was quick and simple. Suddenly, Bakugo walks past him. His bloody clothes in hand, his new clothes fitting his figure perfectly."You comin or not?" Bakugo asks, tilting his head to the side to give Kirishima a smirk with blood stained teeth."Yeah, of course I'd follow you, It's what I do best!" Kirishima beams, following the blonde to his car."Yeah...I'll never understand what you see in me, and why you chose to tag along despite me wanting to forget you."
The response was a whisper Kirishima didn't seem to hear, because that response was all in Bakugos head.
