âOhh? Whatâs one of Class 1-A doing all by himself?â
     Kirishima stopped, resisting the urge to groan.
     Honestly, he wasnât in the mood to deal with this guy of all people now. Any other day and he might find the classâs self-proclaimed rivalâs little antics simply irritating, or even cute ( what? it was funny, seeing him get so worked up over the most trivial of things! ). Now?
     God, he might just sock a guy in the face.
     Which was a pretty bad idea, now that he thought of it. Not just with the chill guy vibe heâd been trying so hard to keep up, but considering the otherâs Quirk. But just how fast could Monoma harden up compared to him if he tried anything? Did he want to find that out? He bet he already knew the answer, the bastard couldnât possibly use his Quirk better than he couldâ
     âGot fed up with them? Or perhaps, did you get yourself kicked out?â
    His tongue briefly slid out to wet his lips as he inhaled, teeth sinking into the lower one with a sigh. This was a bit different than the usual taunting.
    Was he in a bad mood, too? Seemed like it.
    âIâm surprised you didnât go off to drag Tetsutetsu to keep you company. You seem to like having everyoneâs attention on you, always preening for even a scrap of it." What the hellâ âHeâs pretty fond of you, but honestly Iâd rather you keep away from him. I mean, youâre really such a bad influence, you knowââ
     He was just spewing things to get a rise out of him. Monoma was all-too used to the way he had everyone perceive him, so the guy might only be expecting the usual, maybe an annoyed glance, a retort, perhaps trying to upset him. Or maybe he was trying to see him lose really his temper this time, see if heâd swing his fist and give him a reason to get those frustrations out. Or get him in trouble, that too. Aizawa would probably take his side anyways.
    Yeah, better not give him that satisfaction.
    Câmon, heâs just being stupid as usual. Donât think much of it. Kirishima took a deep breath and began to start walking off, Donât think much of it, heâll wander off to find some other sucker if you keep calm, waving his hand dismissively as he spoke, âWeâre not attached at the hip, yâknow. He likes you way more than me, anyways.â
    A slight grin tugged at his lips at the otherâs silence, save for a soft humâmaybe in surprise, maybe in acknowledgment. Only to have it wiped off his face after a snort was followed by,
    âOf course, of course. Then again, the one whoâs always with you is Bakugou, right?â
    Kirishima stopped. Which was a mistake, because, fuck, he could just see the grin tugging at Monomaâs lips now that heâs hit somethingâ
    âAh, right, right, I should have figured. Itâs not everyoneâs attention you want, is it? You just want his.â
    Heâs just being stupid. Heâs just being stupid, donât think much of itâ
    A smug sigh. âI really donât get it. Everyone in your class, even Tetsutetsu, and you pick that guy to be your favorite? Thereâs really gotta be something wrong with you. Or maybe youâre just a masochist.â
     Teeth grit tight. Donât think much of it, heâs being stupidâ
    âI mean, come on! That guyâs got the personality of a dumpster fire! Even with your evident inclination, Iâd figure youâd have some semblance of taste. But no, it just had to be himâ"Â
     Kirishimaâs eyes widened as he slowly turned to face the other.
     He should have known better than to do that. He should have known better than to give him a chink in his armor, something to grasp at and continue to poke fun at him. To mock him. But damn if he didnât feel that urge to punch him straight in the fucking jaw rise up again, damn if he didnât feel anger well up, too hard to choke back so easily anymore, damn, damn, dammitâ
     âIf you were any smarter, you could absolutely do better than that. Itâs insulting you would put Tetsutetsu on the same level as that guy!"Â
                          Shut up.
     âKidnapped by villains, failing his own license exam despite claiming to be the best, and he still has the nerve to act so high-and-mighty!"Â
                  Shut up, shut up, shut upâ
     âItâs a surefire miracle that he hasnât been kicked out yet. And, hey, with his temper, Iâd give it a month tops before heâs finally deemed of being unworthy with his shit-attitudeââ
      Kirishima hadnât known what had happened there. One moment, he felt his blood set to a boil and his teeth bite clean through his lip, the next a sharp thud alerted him along with a cry from the other. That he suddenly had the other boy pinned to the wall, one of his hands holding the otherâs two at the sleeves, his other arm pressed against the otherâs throat, jacket against skin.
      âShut the fuck up," Kirishima snapped, lips curled back in a harsh snarl. âWhat the hell do you know about Bakugou, huh? Other than yer stupid fucked up perception of him?â
     He was sure Monoma would have given him a cocky answer if he werenât sputtering.
     Sputtering, choking, eyes wide in shock and fear, realizing too late he might have spoken one taunting word too many, gotten one reaction he hadnât seen coming for once.
     And, oh God, was it so damn satisfying having him like this.
     The snarl melted into a bit of a smirk as he pressed his arm down a little harder. âAww, what? Got nothinâ taâ say? Neito? Dâya lose yer nerve?â
     âNghâ!â
    The strangled cry had a ragged exhale leaving Kirishimaâs lips, a slight chill running down his spine.
     âMan, you really had to go and piss me the fuck off, didnât ya?" he hissed. âGod, youâre so fucking annoying, itâs about time I got taâ shut you up. You should feel lucky I didnât think taâ break your jaw first!"
     The other boyâs mouth opened and closed, once, twice, like a fish out of water, body squirming under his hold, even if freezing sharply when the blond felt him Harden his arm just a little. Not enough to tear the sleeves separating his skin from the otherâs, but enough to force more pressure and offer incentive to quit moving.
     Though heâd be lying if he said that wasnât part of the appeal here.
     A soft sheen of red tinged Monomaâs face now, from the effort of his struggle, from the lack of air. Sweat beaded on his skin as he tried to gasp out his words, eyes wide in slight panic. Saliva pooled and dribbled from the corner of his mouth as the words struggled to leave him.
     âAckâKi...Kiriâstoââ
     âEhh~? Whatâs that?" Tongue licked blood off his lips as Kirishima leaned forwards, teasingly keeping his face so damn close to the otherâs skin. Just enough to feel feather-soft half breaths against his own, just enough that he could move away should the other try and make contact. âYou gotta speak louder, Neito-kun~"
     âGeh...!â
      âGo on. Talk to me. I wanna hear your pretty little voice now.â
      This...this was twisted.
      Getting so fired up over seeing the other boy like this, so damn helpless. Each half-breath the other took sent a pulse of heat rushing through his veins, searing and boiling right down to his toes, filling his chest and the depths of his belly with such spine-tingling warmth.
      Each shudder from the otherâs body tore at whatever shreds of self-control he still had, making soft gasps of his own leave his lips as he continued to taunt the other. The notion that someone might stumble across them like thisâhowever far back in his mind the worry wasâleft a feeling of excitement, adrenaline coursing through him, too.
                    Y̡oĚ´ÍĚu͢'ÍrÍĚÍeÍĚˇÍ ÍhÍ Ě˘uŇÍrÍ tÍ̢ÍiÍnÍgÍ˘Í Ě˘ÍhiÍmŇĮ́, ĚÍEÍĚśijÍiÍr̸ÍoÍÍuÍ !̨̥Í
     A part of him knew this, a soft part of him being drowned in the midst of a burning urge to keep this up anyways. To push the other and see what other pretty faces he could make the longer he was deprived of oxygen, the longer he was pressed against the wall and taunted. Finally put in his fucking place.
     God, all that just to see those pretty blue eyes roll back in his head, body feebly struggling against him, a final, shuddered gasp, a groanâ
     It was thrilling, so damn thrilling, having this control, even more the risk that came with this stunt.Â
                   ͥ͢AÍ fĚśÍĚśęeĚľĚliÍ̸nÍgÍ Ě¨hŇÍe̸ÍÍ Ě¨alÍ͢Ímǫ̾sÍÍĄtÍ Ěśmi͢Ís̨s̨eĚľdÍÍâÍ̸
     He had him right here, he could show him what his damn place was, force the lesson right into his thick fucking skull and make him stay there. And anybody who came across them would see it too. Theyâd see what he was capable of, theyâd see what happened to anyone who so much as dared talk badly of his precious friendsâ
     And then their gazes met, edging frenzy meeting fear and something he couldnât quite identify.
     â...Ei...jiââ
And reality came
                crashing
                           rightÂ
                                 down.
     Kirishimaâs eyes widened and he let go, backing up fast as the other began to sputter and cough, slumping and leaning heavily against the wall.Â
     Chillsâunpleasant this time, so unpleasantâran down his spine as he watched Monoma try and fail steady himself, gasping and coughing so harshly he couldnât help but wince. Watching the blondâs legs tremble and almost give out on him broke his stillnessâKirishima couldnât help stepping forwards to lift him up, a frantic, guilt-laced apology on his lips, only to hold back when the other raised a hand.
     Give me a minute, he seemed to say. Iâve got this.
     A breath, two, Kirishima felt cold dread seeping through his body where fire had burned through before, as he slunk back and pressed his back against the wall. A shakier breath, then another, his shoulders hunched as the boy shot him a sidelong glance, some unreadable emotion swirling within steely blue hues.
     Which only served to make him feel worse, a whine almost rising in his throat the longer he couldnât bring himself to look away.Â
     No, no, noâwhat the hell had he been doing?! He could have knocked him unconscious, orâor worse, he could have seriously hurt the guy just then! What would he do if that had happened?!
              What would he do if a teacher found out?
     Monoma abruptly stood back up, even if still gasping a little. But it was enough. Enough to snap Kirishima out of his thoughts forced him to not shrink back at the otherâs withering gaze. At his scoff.
     It was then that Kirishima started forwards, a stronger attempt at an apology just leaving his lips, worried and fretful questions bubbling up...
     ...when the otherâs hand suddenly shot forwards and grabbed at his shirtfront, yanking him forwards before he could think to protest or fight it.
     Then the feeling of the otherâs lips slammed right onto his.
     Kirishima could only yelp gasp out a, "H-heyâ!", as he jolted back before the otherâs mouth was on him again, moving against his far more determinedly than before. Insistent, intent to make sure he wouldnât dare pull away, wouldnât let him.
     He stumbled back as the other pushed forwards, groaning as his back hit the wall hard, eyelids fluttering shut.
     It was this that had the otherâs movements stuttering, the otherâs soft lips parting from his with a shaky gasp. But through the haze that began to form over his mind, Kirishima couldnât find it in him to care. He was already riled up from a few minutes prior, but with this?
    Did Monoma really think heâd be able to get away so easy?
    Kirishima continued the damn kiss himself, closing the distance between them again, eagerly licking and biting at the otherâs lower lip, wrapping an arm around the otherâs waist to keep him there, pull him back in. Breath hitched as the otherâs hold on his shirt tightened, body pushing forwards, closer to his, deepening the kiss within a sharp gasp.
     A flood of heat flooded his body once more as their shuddered breaths mixed, barely enough to really do much for them at all.
     But they refused to break away, refused, the otherâs taste right on his tongue, gasping, still gasping, he hadnât properly regained his breath. Kirishimaâs hands moved to hold the other, loosening around his waist and sliding up his back, another hand on his hip, gripping tight.
    A bruising kiss, another, God, he wanted more.Â
    His free hand gently worked against the otherâs body, groping from his hip, along his side, down to his upper leg, feeling a sharp delight with every little hitch of his breath, every little moan, digging his fingers into the firm thigh ever so slightlyâ
     The otherâs hand moved along his jaw, the pads of his fingertips stark cold against flushed hot skin. Fingers moved until they curled within crimson strands and yanked back hard, tearing a gasp from him before it was cut short by another kiss, messier now, almost desperate. Desperate, enough to damn near make him feel like the other were trying to devour him, making his legs tremble and his self-control succumb to the onslaught the blond forced upon him. That he fucking loved.
     Kirishima shivered, groaning as he gently rolled his hips forwards. Little pinpricks of electricity sparked to life through his body in hearing the otherâs voice, a shaky, muffled sound that flooded heat through his body.Â
     Sharp teeth caught on the other boyâs tongue. A yelp, then the fine tang of coppery metal laced his own, feeling the other buck into him slightly as he sought more of it, he didnât care, it was good, couldnât care, it felt so good, he couldnât find it in himself to care at allâ
                   Pull back, stop it, dangerâ
     But Kirishima didnât care, he didnât want to end this, heâ
     And then there it was.Â
     The moment his hold had loosened on Monoma to let his hands further roam over him, a sharp punch suddenly slammed hard into his gut.
     A strangled cry burst from his lips pain flooded him, setting every nerve alight anew. Mixing with the damn haze and rush of the kiss as his legs finally gave out from under him, as the other let him go and collapse onto the floor.
     Monoma backed away, wiping hard at his mouth as Kirishima continued to gasp and sputter, trembling against cold tile. âWhat? Itâs not fun having the breath taken out of you, now is it?â
     Kirishima coughed, then glared up at him as humiliation burned in his face. As he forced his sprawled body to get up, at least a little. What his body wouldâcouldâallow, as he tried to slow his panting breaths.
     The other boy hummed, tapping his chin, then tilted his head. âAs I thought, you really do look better on your knees. This a sight Bakugou gets to see often?â
     Unbearable heat rushed into Kirishima face as his lips parted before the laugh interrupted,
     âWhatever. Itâs none of my concern. Youâre pretty fun when youâre not trying to be some class sweetheart, you know. Feels a lot more natural.â
     What?
     A shrug, then Monoma turned around as he strode off. âGuess you should be a good little dog and run back to your master." Okay thatâwhat was that weird feeling in his gut- âIâm sure heâs just aching for some of your, frankly, sloppy kissesââ
     A breath, twoâKirishima forced himself to standing and stormed after the other boy. Before the other could turn back around, even harden his hand again enough to hurt, he grasped the blondâs shoulder, using it to twist him around enough to allow him reach to grab, then lick his face, from cheek to brow.
     Sharp sounds of disgust burst from the blondâs lips. But before he could be pushed away, Kirishima made certain to lean in close, breath just against his ear, to voice, clear enough for the other,
     âWoof.â
     The struggle stopped near instantly.Â
     Even still, Kirishima pulled away and flashed to other a teeth-baring grin as he was met with an incredulous gaze. Incredulous, then almost intrigued, a little grin of Monomaâs own formed on his lips.
     âOh?â His hands moved, soft, chilled fingers touching either side of his face. âAlright, down, boy. Come on, settle down.â
     Kirishima blinked, feeling the odd little sensation from before spark in his still-sore gut.
     âGood little dogâ âDown, boyââthe thoughts echoed in his mind as Monoma raised a scolding brow. What...did he just startâ?
     Still...a shaky breath, then Kirishima knelt. Well, more like dropped to his knees at Monomaâs sharp little tut. But his gaze never once left the other, as Monomaâs features finally slipped into something more akin to approval.
     Fingers brushed through his hair, gently, almost lovingly, as a chorus of, âGood boy, such a good boyââ, left the other, making a bit of warmth bloom in his chest again. Eyes fluttered shut as chilled fingertips ran along his scalp, soothing little touches and scritches, a soft little noise in his throat, then again, âGood boy, youâre such a good boy arenât youâ?â
    A huffed whine slipped from Kirishima lips as he felt a slight tug on his hair.
     âGod, I should have done this awhile ago,â he heard, just barely, still caught up in the little rush of praises heâd received. A pleasant little rush, quite unlike the one beforeâ
    âAlright, I think I can play with you just a little longerâstand.â Kirishima scrambled to his feet, freezing when Monoma raised his hand, âAnd wait.â
     As soon as he obeyed, Monoma drew closer once more, a hand clamping tight over his eyes. Breath caught, Kirishima felt the otherâs lips press gently against his, then his jaw, earâ
    âDonât you dare show this side to anyone but me,â he heard crooned, âYou hear me?â making a shiver run down his spine as teeth just brushed the shell of he ear. âIâll see you tomorrow, hm? Be a good boy for me until then.â
     And then then hand dropped away, and Monoma was gone, turned heel to stride off as though nothing had happened.Â
     Kirishima let out a soft exhale, stumbling back into a wall. Touching his fingertips against the places the otherâs warm breath had, feeling cold slowly seeping in and taking their place. But far from feeling lonely or upset, no, none of thatâ
     Fuck, he felt a little exhilarated. Felt better than most anything else had left him before. And, God, he wanted more of it. More, more, he was aching for it, desperate to hear that sharp mouth spill praises for him over insults. Or maybe both? Hell, he didnât care what it happened to be, so long as Monomaâs attention was on him again, to chase after him right goddamn nowâ
    Ah, but he was told to wait, huh? It would be a shame to break that rule.
    Especially if it might lose him something nice next time around.
    So Kirishima only watched as the other turned the corner and out of sight, then he let a shaky grin form on his face. A breath, two, then he shoved his hands in his pockets and strode off opposite the way Monoma had gone, intent on heading back to the dorms.
    Yeah...yeah, heâll be patient. Heâll be patient and see where this took them.
    So this guy was alright seeing whatever unpleasant things he had to show? Alright with seeing something other than the eager sunshine boy everyone else did? Wanted to play along some weird little game? Fine, all fine. Heâll play along too, just for him. Who knew, it might be even more fun. It sure was now, compared to what theyâd started with.
                   Better finish it twice as well.
