🧙 WHO: Bakugou Katsuki + YOU
⚔️️ WHAT: Quests, Open Prompts
🕒 WHEN: All throughout March
🗺️ WHERE: Various!
⚠️ WARNINGS: Spiders in Prompt 3


( Librirynth )

[ A quest to take down monsters? To test his skills through sheer combat? Like anything else is going to really appeal to Bakugou, let's be real. Now that he has more than one magic type to master, it's more important. His philosophy is that he would best develop under pressure. Through practical means rather than being tied up at the training grounds.

It's with a feral expression that he takes on this task, cracking his knuckles as he dips into the labyrinth. ]

DON'T BOTHER SENDING ANYONE ELSE! JUST WAIT AND SEE!

[ Time for a classic RNG adventure! Just how far will our heroes get, because Bakugou isn't actually going in there alone is he? ]


(  These Bumbles Don't Bounce )

You're going about this shit all wrong.

[ So says the blonde just sitting there with his hands in his pockets. Bakugou doesn't seem to be offering any assistance and will not elaborate unless asked further. Instead he just keeps watching with judging expression. This isn't something that is going to really be something done for "notoriety" so it's not something he's interested in doing. ]

Don't you have any brains in that head of yours?

[ It's not that, really. Not everyone is a nerd like Katsuki secretly is and has weird personality quirks. The reality is that Bakugou knows things that people wouldn't expect for him to. This is just one of those things... ]


( Vital Venoms ) **SKIP FOR SPIDERS**
[ Isn't spider venom a pretty common ingredient used in magic and potions in general? So it's not surprising that there's a quest to go out to collect some since apparently they are getting a little too active and coming out and saying hi to people. That's why he's out here and not because a certain nerd would also probably want some but likely get bitten in the process to deal with them even though this usually isn't something he'd be bothered with doing. ]

The hell does it matter if they are alive or not? Venom works regardless of the host still breathing!

[ Wouldn't it just be easier to collect the venom producing parts and bring them in? Katsuki is kind of grumbling about it when, wouldn't you know, he is the one walking right into one of those icky sticky webs! ]

Shit!


( Very Friendly Vines )

BACK OFF!

[ Anyone else coming into the forest is going to be met with a rather interesting sight - Bakugou dangling in the air by the ankle. One of those vines has wrapped itself around the area. Missing people is definitely something to look into but he hadn't anticipated this. ]

Shitty plants!

[ He blasts at the vine with a weakish fireball. Enough to be let go - only for another one to grab him by the arm. ]

Argh!

[ To be honest... Bakugou is going to keep trying to break free with sheer force and destructive magic. ]


( Double Trouble )

[ Let's say you're enjoying your day in Camelot City. Maybe you're having a good time shopping or eating at one of the cafes in the area. It's a great day and even better weather. It should be spent outside, right? Yeah, well... There's a loud blast that's going to totally ruin the ambience. Smoke billows into the air and being thrown from it is one Bakugou Katsuki. He rolls across the ground a little, looking a bit roughed up as he catches himself. Pushing himself up, he coughs.

That's when his opponent then launches themselves from the dust cloud, another fireblast obscuring everyone's vision. Bakugou throws up a barrier to block the incoming attack - smoke once again billowing all around them...

And when the smoke clears... It's not one Bakugou Katsuki that stands there. It's two. ]

[apshot]

Just barely got back and out of the shower. That's not a problem, is it?

[ Would Deku prefer Katsuki to be tucked away in bed, snoozing the evening away? Doesn't want him underfoot for his alchemy bullshit? SO HE CAN LEAVE A MESS EVERYWHERE AND TRY TO CLEAN IT UP BEFORE BAKUGOU WAKES UP?

..Augh. Actually forget it. He can't muster the energy to be nasty. Or really think too hard. ]

Do whatever.

[fullgauntlet]

No, it's really not...

[Izuku mutters quickly and with a small smile on his lips he does turn to head towards the kitchen. Katsuki is kind of half-asleep, isn't he. He'll probably fall asleep any second now. So maybe he'll just grab his snack and munch on it in the kitchen quickly and head back to his room to leave Katsuki (and his goat...) rest...

But when Izuku wanders back he does glance at the couch again. Where the two of them are all cozied up on the couch.

Katsuki...]

[apshot]

[ That's pretty much the correct assumption here. Katsuki has already nodded off in the couple of moments between Deku walking into the kitchen area and puttering around. Honestly the blonde should have just huffed and walked on up the stairs to his bed, but he's been pretty exhausted lately. Besides there shouldn't be an issue with just falling asleep there, right?

The traitorous goat, on the other hand, simply looks up and at Izuku expectantly. As if to say well? ]

[fullgauntlet]

[This little betrayer of his...

Izuku sighs softly under his breath. It is a bit tempting to stay up a little while longer. He doesn't really want to sleep just yet even if he can feel the lag of sleepiness starting to catch up with him too.

He looks down at his book. Then at the couch. Then at his book. Then at his room... This internal conflict repeats a few times until he finally and nervously, moves to the couch. He is very very careful as he sits down on the couch on the free spot that will fit him. Easing into the seat in hopes that he doesn't jostle Katsuki awake...

Then he's giving the goat a look like- Are you happy??]

[apshot]

[ Now now. Izuku should know better than that. When Katsuki is in full blown sleep mode, there's not much anyone can do to really get him pissed. That much had become clear during their little Christmas party. Someone had even tied a rope to Katsuki's leg and put him in festive gear! So really there's no need to be all that careful. Even if that jostling had managed to wake him, Bakugou would just grunt and shift and go right back to sleep.

Something that's somehow easier than it has been for a while.

Meanwhile the goat is not impressed. He looks between Izuku and the blonde. Look at all that prime real estate right there! Well if Izuku isn't going to occupy it then maybe he will. Which means the goat is standing up. He shakes his butt a little with every intention to jump up and wedge himself between Katsuki and Izuku. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[No you don't- goat-chan!!! Izuku grunts quickly, dropping his book to the ground in favour or snatching up his goat in mid-air! Holding him and then promptly letting out a small noise of panic as he flops over from the inbalancing-

... How about that for Katsuki being a heavy sleeper?

Because Izuku is accidentally flopping down on him with a huff as he handles his goat in his arms...]

Ne... This isn't- [This isn't good. Izuku frowns at his little spike of jealousy. Because now here he is... on top of Katuski's chest.]

[apshot]

[ Okay so he's not so much a heavy sleeper that he's not going to wake a bit from someone colliding against his chest.

Though there's no yelling. Just two crimson orbs staring down at Deku with a half-glazed expression. Like he isn't really taking in any information to his brain at the moment. Probably because it isn't actually registering that the nerd is like, right there.

Instead he's going to be met with tired, sleepy blinking followed by a ruffle of goat-chan. Then Katsuki rolls his head back and sinks further into the couch.

Yeap. That's about it. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[His heart nearly stops midbeat when he looks up only to see Katsuki's sleepy eyes slowly blinking at him. He's about to die-

... Or- Katsuki goes right back to snoozing? Izuku blinks incredulously before he glances at his goat who is also starting to settle back down in a little donut on Katsuki's chest right there next to Izuku. Like everything is meant to be. This little...

It takes a minute of debating with himself before Izuku swallows hard and settles. Maybe he can just close his eyes for a little while and wake up later to sneak into his room. It's warm and cozy right here... Maybe this isn't so bad. He's starting to feel sleepy...]

[apshot]

[ Don't blame the stinky snowball for doing what you want to do but are too afraid to, Deku. At least this little goat has the courage to just keep going after what he wants? Which, right now, is apparently resting on Katsuki's chest... At some point Ruby decides she wants to drop in as well. Now isn't that sweet. The whole fucking family is here.

Meanwhile Katsuki is completely oblivious, not that he'd care at the moment. This is probably some of the best sleep he's gotten in a while. No nightmares. No thoughts about the future and the fact he doesn't have his Quirk. It's actually blissful oblivion. This means that it's going to be a good amount of time before he decides to finally crack eyes open. He's not awake yet - the sun is maybe an hour or two from rising - but this is when he starts to maybe notice the little menagerie gathered here.

And just. Lays there. Half bewildered in his tired state. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[While usually a sort of nightbird... Izuku somehow finds himself falling asleep really easily. Against Katsuki's warth and curled up with both familiars is somehow really content and comforting. He goes out like a light with one arm draped over his goat and Katsuki's hip.

Maybe he needed a good easy sleep like this. He doesn't dream for once. No strange nightmares about One For All or faces he doesn't want to see. He doesn't wake up after only an hour or two of sleep.

He had only shifted once in his sleep to bring his legs up more comfortably against the back of the couch's arm. And when the wee hours of the morning come Izuku is still fast asleep there against Katsuki's chest, a tiny bit of drool on the corner of his lip.]

[apshot]

[ Between Izuku drooling and SNOWBALL kind of chewing a bit on his shirt, Katsuki actually kind of notices that everyone is super comfortable. Honestly, even he is comfortable and feeling more rested now than he has in a while. Then there's Deku just laying there and Katsuki knows what kind of sleep that loser's been getting. Not nearly enough.

It's a reverse situation of what had happened at the icy inn. That time it had been Katsuki that had sort of latched onto Deku in his sleep. Now it seems like Izuku's done it and well. There's no breaking out of this without throwing some kind of fit. And frankly? That's not where Katsuki currently is. He's still a bit tired and out of it himself. His stupid brain is supplying him with the word cute ]

Gross.

[ Yet he manages to wiggle a hand free and just... Start brushing it through stupid green curls. What a rat's nest. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[It's an oddly content morning. With the sun just barely peeking over the horizon to let a marginal flicker of sunlight into the room. It's warm and quiet. Izuku still fast asleep as he listens to the sound of Katsuki's breathing. The familiars curled up with the both of them like a sort of cuddle-puddle. It's honestly stupid and picturesque.

Izuku snoozes on. The gentle feeling of fingers in his hair making him let out a soft breath as he shifts. His head moving to settle closer to Katsuki's collarbone and shoulder.]

Kacchaa...

[He murmurs softly. Maybe he really needed this sleep too. A full sleep through the night.]

[apshot]

[ It's Izuku's shifting that has the little goat eventually slipping down and off of Katsuki. He doesn't seem to mind, really. Goat-chan kind of settles right there on the floor next the couch, right where Katsuki's hand is. Stupid thing.

But now he can feel the warmth of Izuku's breath against his skin. Katsuki has a habit of wearing things that expose his collarbone. It tickles. Warms his neck and makes the hair on the back of his neck and on his arms rise. He's pushing back those green curls to take a look at that dumb cute face. Count those cute numerous freckles.

Now it's Bakugou that finds himself leaning down, kind of like how Izuku had before. That stupid drooly face... Katsuki doesn't even seem too disturbed by it. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[The warmth is so close. It makes Izuku slip into a hazy little dream of warmth and contentment. Some far-off fantasy where Katsuki is ...

... Wait. Is he...

Izuku seems to stir just lightly. Body shifting against Katsuki's weight and hand drifting just so over Katsuki's hip where he was resting it. He inhales softly, enjoying this distant and familiar smell of a boy. But then his eyes flicker open slowly and he blinks at Katsuki, half asleep.

Instead of panic or freaking out, Izuku seems to just lay there, motionless. Blinking slowly at Katsuki and glancing over his features.

This is still a dream. Right? Has to be. Yep.]

1/3

[apshot]

[ In that moment that Izuku starts to move, Katsuki freezes. What is he doing. What is he even doing!? He's in the process of rethinking all of this when he feels that hand move and hello. Very much aware of Izuku. Very much aware of every little spot that Izuku is touching. It's sort of like being trapped in the barrier last month only... Only there's nothing forcing them into such an awkward position.

They... They've done this all on their own. Completely on their own. His heart is hammering in his chest now. Certain things are starting to dawn on Katsuki. Of course other things are making themselves known too.

And all he can register is oh fuck. Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck. ]

[apshot]

[ To make it all worse? Izuku is now awake and looking at him. Awake and aware and looking at him. Katsuki has been totally caught and it's not even the first time! It's not even the second time they've been in this sort of situation!

He's embarrassed. Bakugou Katsuki is embarrassed and mortified and Deku still be half asleep and not realizing what is going on in other places please.

So he does the only thing he can think of to hide all of that. Yell. ]

THE HELL!? DO I LOOK LIKE YOUR PERSONAL PILLOW HERE!?

[ Which is going to result in a lot of kicking, fussing, and shoving. Trying to push Deku off and getting up.

Too bad he forgot about several factors. Deku is half asleep. He's still sluggish. There are two familiars that are suddnely awake and alert and making all kinds of noise and fussing themselves. ]

this is what happens when you roll a 1

[apshot]

[ Which means there's feathers in his face. Dead weight being forced off of him. And Katsuki tripping over a certain goat while trying to get up.

Oh Deku will hit the floor and probably not too kindly. But he won't be the only one. Katsuki doesn't have the coordination just yet to stop himself from falling either -

Right back on top of Izuku.

And now he's right back to square one - looking at those dumb freckles and stupid green eyes! ]

1/2

[fullgauntlet]

[What was a peaceful quiet moment that Izuku thinks he's dreaming up entirely turns into something... the complete opposite. He'd been looking into sharp somehow pretty red eyes and then-!!!

When he's kicked and shoved Izuku is instantly awake and yelling, letting out a groan and a loud huff of pain as he is pretty much thrown off the couch! He hits the ground with a hard thump! His stomach got kicked so he's pretty sure he's out of breath and will be bruising!!]

W-h-Kaa--!!

[And then...

Why does this keep happening to them? The telltale whump of Katsuki tripping up and landing on him with a grunt. Another moment of them smashed together without any fault. Izuku is wide eyed and a little teary from the pain!]

Kacchan, that- hurts-!!

2/2

[fullgauntlet]

[Wait a minute................]

K-k--k..........

[Is this what he thinks it is- Is this happening-

Izuku's voice comes out like a tiny little unsure squeak.]

Kacchan... You're...

[Don't move a muscle, Izuku Midoriya. Or it'll be death.]

1/2

[apshot]

[ Literally it's no one's fault that this has turned out the way that it has. Sure, maybe Katsuki could have been kinder about trying to get Izuku off of him, but that's really about it. It's not like Bakugou isn't aching because of it either. His forehead and knee definitely hit the floor hard. He's hissing and growling. Muttering swears while Deku starts to talk again... ]

No shit it hurts! You -

[ The stuttering gives it away. Shitty nerd has noticed and now Bakugou's blood runs cold. Cold through sheer panic! ]

[apshot]

[ One would think that the logical course of action would be to, you know, scramble back and try to get as far away as possible. But that would make it obvious, right? It'd be like he's embarrassed or something. Or ashamed. Bakugou Katsuki is not going to take a hit to his pride like that. ]

Dekuuuu.

[ He slaps a hand over the nerd's mouth. DON'T YOU DARE. ...Of course this might also mean leaning into Izuku a bit more but hey! ]

Finish that sentence and I'll melt your mouth right off.

[ Just ignore how red he is in the face, Izuku. Don't pay any attention to that or how his hands shake a little. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[Staying still...!! In most usual cases Izuku might have flailed so hard back at Katsuki that this would have turned into an all-out brawl in itself too! Or Izuku would have scrambled away when his fight or flight activated this time-

But with Katsuki's weight on him and that slap of that hand over his mouth he really can't go anywhere?!]

Hmmphh--!!

[So all he can do is stare at Katsuki while this weird heat starts to coil up in his stomach. He can feel- it- And Izuku Midoriya is three seconds away from watching his soul leave his body entirely.

He might not be able to help the way his cheeks get heated in a way that kind of shows off that he's not entirely of sound mind and body either. His eyes watering as his hands go to grip Katsuki's wrist tightly. But he's trying not to escalate this for once. Instead just looking at Katsuki like it's ... okay?? This is- fine??

This is... FINE..........]

[apshot]

[ What are two teenage boys to do other than brawl? That's the best way of showing off feelings, right? How else does one communicate if not through a fist connecting with another warm body?

Speaking of warm, Katsuki can see how the redness in Izuku's face really brings out those stupid little freckles. He almost forgets why he's pissed. Almost. But the nerd also doesn't look scared? Isn't flinching? At least he's not in this moment, even if those eyes are watering.

Is he scared that Katsuki is actually going to do something though? Augh! The blonde doesn't know! Can never tell what Deku is thinking in these moments. ]

I'm going to move.

[ Which means he's going to take his hand off and maybe try to get off of Izuku. More carefully this time? Depends on Izuku, really. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[For once he's not scared or flinching and he's not quite sure when that changed or why it's changed. Here Katsuki is who has just kicked him clean off the couch and is now breathing down at him like he's going to kill Izuku if he even mentions the brush of hips or the embarrassment. Maybe because Izuku knows this is kind of his fault?? He's the one who fell asleep on top of Katsuki without really asking. He probably deserved this.

All he does is give a weak nod when Katsuki speaks, letting him get off of Izuku without too much of a fuss if he picks to. When he can use his mouth again he gasp a little and mutters,]

Sorry...

[If Katsuki does climb off he'll try not to look at him, this anxiousness starting to build up again! ... He wants to say more but... This is really awkward!!]

[apshot]

[ It is awkward. Awkward as hell. Especially so for Katsuki because he doesn't have these damn problems.

The issue here is that, in getting to his feet, there's really no hiding anything either. Not if someone's actually bothering to look, that is. At least Katsuki can turn around and try to save something of is pride and dignity here. Can just walk away and pretend that nothing -

Sorry. ]

Ha?

[ What the fuck is Deku sorry for? That just sends another bunch of thoughts flying through Bakugou's head. Sorry what? That this shitty little nerd turns him on? That Bakugou can make him blush like the shitty virgin he is or what? What is it?

So he does what he usually does - he gets huffy. ]

You think that this is because of you!?

[ ...Bakugou has to try to save face. Of course there are many ways to interpret this sentence and Bakugou knows that. ]
