Fly for me

That night where the two were together flying in the sky, contemplating the fluffy clouds of a majestic white color purer and clearer than the snow itself, while the rays of the immense and brilliant moon, together with its companions the stars, shone with all its brightness in the immense darkness of the black sky.

And the best thing was that Katsuki Bakugou was enjoying that panorama that mother nature offered him from very close, since his impotent red dragon flew over the land and the seas and eclipsed them with its gigantic and beautiful wings spread, only for his The teacher will enjoy the wonderful surprises of the full moon in all its splendor. Along with the strong wind hitting his face, the blond could only smile and finally feel free like a bird that escaped from a golden cage, since the war was over. The dispute between those who protected the mystical beings and those who did not, had finally ended.

All the creatures were sheltered and hidden in a forest after what happened under the orders of their protector, Queen Mitsuki. They were all led by his son and his great red dragon, the most loyal servant of the royal family. From there, they would all disappear from the face of the Earth on the last night of summer. No one would know where they were hiding anymore, and the kingdom of the barbarians swore that they would take the map directly to their cold graves, burying it in oblivion and the silence of thousands of servants sleeping in eternal sleep.

However, the young Bakugou has one last task to do before finally declaring peace. All the royal council and his family agreed on this mission, which would be the most difficult of all. Not in the strategic sense, but in the personal one, which would affect his days for the rest of his life; Before the last night of summer comes to an end.

Why not do it with Kirishima? His life partner, the one he had known since it hatched from the last European dragon's egg.

-There's Kirishima! Get down right now!!-The blond exclaimed when he saw his destination, the Forest of No Return, from the air.

After listening to its master's commands, the beast proceeded to quickly descend to the ground and gently lowered its huge body towards that meadow full of grass and flowers that offered it a good place to land. Once it got its paws on him, it extended its left wing so that Bakugou fell to the mainland without any inconvenience.

-Okay Kirishima, you can rest now-the blond said after leaning his head towards the dragon's, indicating that he would transform into his human appearance.

The process of that transformation was truly fascinating and magical. The dragon proceeded to illuminate its body to the point of blinding anyone with its rays and was surrounded by flames of warm colors, later turning into autumn leaves and its huge body dwarfed. Thus was born the true Eijirou Kirishima, the most beautiful boy Bakugou could have met in his entire short life.

-Wow, about time. The weight of the load up there was already getting to me- the redhead teased with a mischievous smile as he stretched his entire body.

-Hahaha how funny-

-You know I'm charming, don't deny it spoiled-

I think too much for your own good.

-And yours, since you always die for me. But hey, what are we doing here anyway? Shouldn't we be celebrating the victory with your friends and getting drunk? - The servant asked the apparently confused prince, fixing his gaze in front of the immense forest that was in front of them a hill away.

-You will see shit hairs, be patient. Walk.- Bakugou limited himself to ordering the minor, who did not hesitate to comply with the request.

They walked for a few minutes up a rather long climb guided by the light of the night satellite. The meadow was infested with sunflowers, roses, daisies and tulips of different colors. The grass was soaked with dew, making both children's clothes slightly wet. The air was so fresh it was cold and crickets were chirping everywhere. The curious thing was that there were fireflies flying around, making the scene perfect for a romantic moment as a couple.

Once they reached the top and walked a few meters further into the forest, the couple stopped, only to look for a few minutes at the trees that were close together and helped filter the moonlight. of those trunks and oaks.

However, the silence became so uncomfortable for not having anything to do, that it led the redhead to break it:

-But man, we've been standing here doing nothing for a long time! Now, are you going to tell me why we are here, Your Highness? This is being very inappropriate of you!-

But he received no reply. The ashen blond remained silent, staring into space, trying to think clearly about what he was about to do or say. If he had to carry out this damn task, he had to do it carefully. An error in your speech, a bad gesture or a minimal movement could condemn you to an irremediable misfortune.

-Are you aware of what you should do, son? What should you face from now on, what will come in your future?-

-Yes Mother-

-Then it's decided. What is the mission that has been entrusted to you now, for your sake, that of the kingdom and that of Kirishima?-

-Let him go, finish his service to our family in a dignified manner-

Bakugou just swallowed slowly. And finally he decided to fulfill the task:

-You will see Kirishima... By tomorrow this forest will disappear. It will cease to exist for human eyes because...-

-Yes, yes, I already know the story. Peak Forest will disappear as agreed along with all the mystical creatures within, and the nymphs will take care of all of them forever. It will no longer be visible to humans and those inside will never be seen again, this is because...-

-Protect them. They don't deserve to live in a world full of useless extras- Bakugou interrupted with a smile.

-Obviously hahaha.- At the comment, both young men burst out laughing.

However, no sound came from both of them after their laughter trailed off. Bakugou implored Kirishima to understand the wink, the reference, to figure out for himself why they were really there. Or hoped that he would miraculously decide to go off on his own. But not. None of that happened.

He had to do everything for the toothy dragon. His toothy.

-But that does not explain why we are here instead of being in the castle drinking. Now could you stop beating around the bush?-Kirishima exclaimed, a tender expression of disagreement on his face.

-Good that...

Nothing occurred to him. His mind was blank, his mouth sealed with fear and anguish, and the sweat on his forehead was not long in appearing. She just had to tell him, face reality. He had to remember that he was also part of the list of creatures that he had to protect. How can this whole situation be so difficult?

-Well…the council and my mother the queen agreed…you know, to give these beasts a leader from this world to help them adjust in their afterlife, to guide them.- And we've decided that that leader...

-Do not tell me that....

I have it. It was very obvious that he did at the time. He hoped he wouldn't hate him for doing that to him.

-That you are going to guide them! But how will you do it?! What will happen to your family or your kingdom?! Is that why you brought me?!

The redhead yelled excitedly concluding wrongly in that crazy idea.

That was the straw that broke the camel's back, it couldn't be true that he was so naive, which made the prince angry. Which was notorious, since he grabbed his partner's shoulders tightly and finally released him:

-No, you bloody idiot! I won't go, there's no way a mere human like me can go! The one who will go is you, the only magical being left to enter this bloody forest! Your service with us has finished!- Your life on Earth is over! Ours is over! IT'S ALL OVER KIRISHIMA! ALL!

He felt how the tears of fury mixed with an immense internal sadness threatened to appear in his eyes. he couldn't break down in front of the redhead, he couldn't. She had to be strong, she shouldn't cry. He had to clarify the situation before it got worse and he left with a bad taste in his mouth.

-The real advice... All our friends... - the blonde didn't even feel like looking at his lover, so he decided to lower his head still holding Kirishima's shoulders - we decided to let you go. The fact that you are the only creature left in the kingdom can make you a target for many people and they might search for the map, you would be at risk every day of your life by my side. You've always wanted to leave, live without someone's rules. This is your chance Eijirou, so I implore you. This is not an order, it is a request, a plea: you must march. You must disappear forever, you must leave me behind.

Silence reigned. They no longer listened to the music of the crickets, the wind that was blowing. Meanwhile, her world came to a standstill, then collapsed onto the hard ground as hot tears streamed down her highness's cold face, regretting saying goodbye. He gathered the strength to see the hybrid's expression, only to see how he too was crying.

-When I imagined my service to your family would end, I didn't think it would, Bakugou-Kirishima said breathlessly, then sat down on the grass.

-What has Katsuki done? Who have you believed to harm your beloved, your being of light?

-There must be another way...-

"There is no other way, Eijirou," the monarch said, sitting down next to the hybrid.

-It's just... I can't leave you! Your family raised me, it has been my best friend since I was born! And I love you since I was 12 years old, so much that I suffer for it! I can't leave you like this, forget everything I've lived... I can't say goodbye!-

-And you think it's easy for me?! Tell the only person I've ever cared about to leave and never come back? -He had so many planes for us, damn, so many that he lost count. But if I really love you, if I really adore you like no one else... I wouldn't want you to live the life that I can offer you, which is true garbage compared to the freedom that I offer you. Your happiness and your freedom are more important than mine and my gilded cage life. So don't insist, please...

Bakugou couldn't follow the sentence, tears flooded him and his voice cracked. She cried as softly as she could and covered her face with her hands, but drawing fake smiles on your face was much easier than hiding your desire to die.

-Wouldn't it be easier if you came with me? It would be more fun to marry fairies than barbarians...- the discouraged redhead whispered.

-Can not. Unlike you, I can't easily escape my duties. It would be selfish of me to leave an empty throne and a people with hopes.-

Again silence reigned in the place. There were no options, there were no excuses. This time there would be no miracles to save them. That only happened in stupid fairy tales.

They both stopped and that's when they each knew what was coming. How to prevent that from being painful? How to part in such conditions, with a broken heart? Everything that they had previously promised for their future, their plans, their ideas, would immediately vanish with a simple 5-letter word, they would turn into ashes and be carried away by the wind of oblivion. Like a flower that is neglected for too long, it will wither and die of its own accord.

Both boys looked at each other bluntly, without moving a single muscle in their bodies, without doing anything at all. They wanted to enjoy one last night together, looking into each other's eyes, waiting for the minutes to calm down.

And then it happened.

Bakugou slowly approached to extend his arms and hold Kirishima's body with them one last time, to which the opponent responded immediately; causing both of them to hug each other and shed tears down each other's shoulders for a period of time. They did not want to let go of that "last time", which would only become a simple anecdote to tell and would become a past time with no return, a simple empty memory, they did not want to make it fade away. It will happen to them But the first rays of a beautiful dawn spoiled their plans when they looked out over the mountains.

It was the end.

When they both immediately realized how the sun's rays threatened to hide those of the moon and its stars, they let go, very discouraged, realizing that time was running against the clock with them, and as a last action, Eijirou decided to slowly approach the face. . of her prince, hold him with her delicate and cold hands full of scales, consecutively unite her lips with his so that they both melted into a warm and sweet kiss, the most precious kiss that they both experienced for the last time. time. How they would miss those things, that appetizing touch and bottoming out in their souls, the feeling of their cheeks getting hot, each other's full lips and all those other crazy sensations that all love books describe. a lot about couples and their feelings.

"Perhaps the first kisses are not the most memorable, but that is made up for by the last ones, which are the most precious and special"

But all that magic of overflowing happiness is over. When they parted and bowed their heads, touching the tip of their noses tenderly and each other's wet eyes closed, the last words they exchanged were promises.

-Fly for me, Eijirou Kirishima- the blond whispered affectionately, opening his eyes that were now red and swollen.

-I will do that. And you take care of them for me, Katsuki Bakugou.- replied the redhead, who took his hands and then walked away.

Things were exchanged. Bakugou gave his prized dragon his impotent red cloak and Kirishima gave him his bandana, perhaps as a reminder that they would never be alone. And then they both turned their backs and walked away.

With so much cost they said goodbye, with so much cost they separated and both went their separate ways that would never cross again and would never see or touch each other again. And since then the majestic dragon of the hills that roamed and covered the skies with its enormous wings was never heard from again. The whereabouts of that forest were never known, no one knew where it was going or the people who were inside it. Neither was the fate of the young heir known, nor his kingdom, nor his life. But if it was said that both were still connected, perhaps because the nymphs were witnesses of that bitter and eternal goodbye, so much so that they had compassion for their sacrifices that helped not to forget; or because they were simply meant to be together from the start. That they continued to love each other without seeing each other again, that they could even see and touch each other through dreams and that they conquered everything. It is also rumored that their love was so strong that it defeated all magic and even Death himself. And that now they are desperately looking for each other in their other life, perhaps with the hope that it is the same one in which they are destined to meet and be together.

I don't know exactly if they still fly on full moon nights over the skies while we sleep. Or if this story was real or a mere story of the poblanos, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that their feelings were true and that they never broke their promises to fight against the world. And it all happened on a simple summer night.

Just as they remembered that night.
