A/N: I'm so sorry I didn't get this out yesterday! It was entirely my fault. I was procrastinating, I had no idea what to do with it, and I just couldn't stay focused on it. I will get this out today as well as the other story to attempt to make up for it. Once again, I'm so sorry! This story will be a mix between a fantasy AU and a BOTW AU, so enjoy!

Bakugou's POV

"Eijirou!" I yelled into the cave. "We gotta go somewhere!"

"Where?"

"Another kingdom, you scaly bitch, c'mon,"

The dragon shifter sighed, getting up.

He had been a dragon last night, and seemingly transformed in the middle of the night, so he walked out of the cave groggily.

With nothing covering anything except for scales on his skin.

"CHRIST ALL FUCKING FUCK, COVER UP!" I screamed, covering my eyes.

"Whub?"

"CLOTHES? YOU NEED THOSE!"

Kirishima peered down, before yawning and shrugging.

"Hold on,"

"Fuck, you're a mess!"

"You never wear a shirt!"

"Neither do you. Actually, my vest covers more of my torso than your cape," Eijirou yawned. "Actually, wait,"

He walked out of the cave.

"You said we're going to another kingdom, right? So why the hell should I put on clothes if I'm supposed to fly us over there?" he questioned as more and more red scales appeared on him.

I rolled my eyes, sighing. "Let me grab your clothes and put them in my damn satchel,"

•••

"So, just keep going south until we get to the East Gerudo Ruins, you'll be able to see a village. It's also fairly close to Palu Wasteland," I yelled over the wind. "Stop a by the ruins, and then we can head over to the Kara Kara Bazaar, situate ourselves there for the night,"

I got a weird chirp of confirmation from Eijirou, his wings beating faster and harder.

"As long as we get there before sunrise, we'll be okay. We can stop by an inn, get some sleep, buy food there in the morning and continue our trip," I mumbled to myself as we went on.

Stupid fucking princess better not waste my damn time.

We landed in the ruins, and Eijirou immediately began panting when we got there.

"Okay, listen. We're gonna head to the Kara Kara Bazaar, buy some clothing we need to get into the village. And then sleep until morning or noon. We'll decide once we get there,"

"Do I have to wear clothes?"

"At least undergarments," I said, handing him his boxers.

"It's too fucking hot for this," he mumbled, slipping them on.

"Hey, don't complain just yet. Your clothing situation is gonna get a whole lot worse soon," I scoffed.

Now, the problem wasn't finding the Kara Kara Bazaar. It was literally an oasis in the middle of a desert.

The problem was getting there in one piece, when Electric Lizalfos were everywhere, and the blood moon was beginning to rise.

"Fuck, that ain't good," I hissed.

Eijirou was panting before, but now he was shivering, his scales dulling in color.

"Want some genuine clothes?" I offered.

After waiting for Eijirou to get his clothes on, we proceeded toward the Kara Kara Bazaar.

Right when we got there, the blood moon was high in the sky.

Black and pink embers fluttering around as the world went red.

Every few days, a blood moon rises, reviving monsters that were once murdered.

Eijirou always acts weird before they happen. It's usually his blood makes him even more sensitive to temperature than normal.

Such as right now.

Which is why I gave him my cape.

Black smoke filtered through the air as well, making it harder to breathe.

But as quickly as it started, it was over.

"Ei, let's go to bed," I said, turning to the hybrid.

He was petting a scared dog.

"Ei!"

"Hm?"

"Sleep,"

"But, dog,"

"But sleep,"

"But--"

"If you can get the dog to sleep with you, then sleep with the dog!"

•••

I woke up to the sun glaring down at me, so I stood and stretched.

Eijirou was still asleep, the puppy curled into his side, both under my cape.

"Cute," I whispered before heading to one of the vendors, buying us more food.

The only building in the whole oasis had a man at the top, who dressed in the usual Gerudo attire.

So I woke up Eijirou, and we climbed up there.

"Hey, hey, hey!" they said in a feminine voice.

"Where'd you get the clothes?"

"In the town, of course!"

Not an option.

"Why, are you looking for some? I can sell them to you... for a pretty penny,"

I sighed.

"How much for two full outfits?" I sighed, going into my satchel.

"Wow! Two? I must say, it's quite daring of two voe, such as yourself, to attempt to enter the town!" they laughed. "I can give you my last two outfits for... how about 1,200 rupees?"

A bit pricey, but managable.

Handing them a pouch of rupees, I gave them their payment.

"Wonderful! Give me just a moment!"

"Katsu, I'm confused," Ei murmured.

"Men aren't allowed in the town, so we have to go in undercover," I explained. "And the castle is in the town,"

"Great," Ei sighed as the person came back with a red and a black outfit.

"Head inside and put them on before leaving! Good bye now!"

"Thank you, " I said before we left.

•••

"I hate this," Ei mumbled sheepishly, his flush somehow more noticeable behind the red silk that covered his face.

"Ei, you literally have a repulsion to clothing, yet you're shy about wearing clothes that show off your shoulders and abdomen?" I asked.

"I know it's stupid! Quiet!" he hissed.

"Alright, we've gotta throw our voices up, or just not speak. Think you can do one or the other?"

"Yeah,"

"Good. Because I'm planning on going mute until we meet with the princess," I said.

"What?! Why?!"

"Have you heard my voice? It'll sound too obviously fake if I try to shift it upward!"

"It's not that hard," Ei said with a feminine giggle.

"Nope, stop. Hylia, take the reigns," I whispered.

"Convincing?"

"Too,"

"Great! C'mon! Let's go!"

Eijirou seems to have forgotten his embarrassment.

•••

We arrived in the town at evening, heading into an inn.

"Vasaaq!" A cheery pink cheeked Gerudo said. "The nightly rate is 20 rupees, but we also offer a special spa plan that would bring the total to 80 rupees,"

Leaning into Ei's ear, I whispered "Normal. The spa plan could blow our cover,"

"Standard, please!" Eijirou said happily.

"When would you like to be woken?"

"Morning, please,"

"Sav'orr! Enjoy your stay!"

•••

"God, haven't slept that well in ages!" I yawned.

"Better than the beds in Goron City, I can tell you that," Eijirou laughed. "And I know sleeping in my back at night while we fly isn't comfy for you,"

"It is what it is. Let's go,"

"Sav'otta!" The pink cheeked girl from last night said. "Did you sleep well?"

We both nodded.

"The desert is a dangerous place, but you should be up for anything after resting!"

We exited the inn, and Ei immediately saw a meat vendor.

None of it was cooked, which made Eijirou excited.

"Katsu, can we get some? I'm hungry,"

I sighed and nodded, handing him some rupees.

As we left, Eijirou leaned in.

"So, where's the castle?"

"Doesn't quite look like one, but see that huge building ahead?" I whispered. "That's it right there,"

"Oh...and we're meeting with...?"

"She goes by Lady Momo. She's the chief of the Gerudo. Basically the princess. C'mon, let's go. You can eat until me get there,"

We climbed the stairs, entering the "castle".

As we approached, a violet haired Gerudo  guardwith long earrings dangling from her earlobes shoved her spear in our faces.

"Come no closer," she snarled

"Now, now, Kyouka. There's no need to startle these pour travelers,"

The guard backed off with a scowl.

"How may I help you two?"

I got on one knee, Eijirou quickly following suit.

"Lady Momo, I'm Katsuki Bakugou from the Shrine of Resurrection on the Great Plateau. You requested we meet," I spoke, watching the guard's grip on her spear tighten. "I brought along my friend, a dragon shifter, as he may be able to help,"

"You're asking for help from a voe?!" The guard turned to the chief.

"Yes. I've heard he was one of the Champions, alongside Lady Ashido," Lady Momo said.

As the two spoke, Eijirou and I stood, and I noticed he was chewing.

"Fucking swallow it!" I whispered. "You can't eat raw meat in front of the chief, shitty lizard!"

A quick gulp, and he stopped.

So did the chief and her guard.

"We have had our precious Thunder Helm stolen from us, but we know where it is," Lady Momo began.

•••

So, to make a long story short, their people's prized possession, the Thunder Helm was stolen by this group of assholes called the Yiga Clan. They fucking suck.

So now, I gotta sneak into their base, without getting caught, and steal it back.

And that's gonna suck, because I can't brute force my way through that.

There's too many, and if they get one of us, we're fucked.

"Okay, Ei, when we go in there, go into your small dragon form, alright? I'll ask you to go ahead, take a look at how many people there are, and then come back, smack my hand with your tail to tell me how many people there are. Okay?"

"Leave it to me," he whispered as he began to shift.

I picked up his clothes, and in we went.

Another Gerudo was captured in there, so I did my best to work on the lock to her cell.

"We'll get the Thunder Helm, you go,"

"How are you gonna get it back?"

"I have my ways," I said with a grin. "Now go. Tell Lady Momo we've made it in and that we'll be fine. Be prepared to fight some Yiga Clan members,"

As she left, Eijirou flew back, landed on my neck, and smacked my shoulder once.

"Big dude?"

A small bob came from the dragon.

"Okay, stay hidden in my cape. Any bananas nearby?"

I was lightly smacked in the face by the dragon.

"Hey!"

He pointed his tail to a nearby table, with two banana bunches.

For some reason, they fucking love bananas, which are a good distraction for them???

Listen, I understand it just as much as you do, dude.

So taking them, I took one bunch, and threw it in a direction I wanted the fuck to go, and he went there.

This'll take a while.

•••

"Katsuki?"

"Yeah?"

"Did we really have to kill their leader--"

"Yes! Of course we did!"

"Let me finish. Did we really have to kill their leader without stealing his meat?"

Staring at the pouting redhead, who was leaning over the pit he fell into, I sighed.

"Yes. It'd be fucking gross. Plus, I'm not a fucking cannibal. Would it be considered cannibalism if you ate a human?!"

"No clue," Eijirou shrugged.

"Well, we have the helm," I said, carefully lifting my bag so anything else in it wouldn't scratch up the helm. "Ready to go back?"

Eijirou pulled off his vest and let wings sprout from his back.

"We'll do it like this. It'll be much easier than a full transformation, right?" He asked, smoke coming out from between his teeth whenever he spoke.

Making sure the bag was secure around my body, he grabbed my wrists, and off we flew, making record time in this form.

"You know, the view's actually nice up here," I said.

"I bet,"

"What does that mean?"

"... nothing?"

"Eijirou, if you have your eyes closed, I swear to fucking god--"

"I have too much smoke coming out of my mouth whenever I breathe. It hurts my eyes,"

"YOU'RE A FUCKING DRAGON FOR SHIT'S SAKE!"

"SO?! MY EYES ARE SENSITIVE!"

"FUCKING... OKAY, FINE,"

Some more grumpy pouting and we'd arrived.

"Katsuki, do I have to wear the stupid clothes?"

"You wanna get in? Then yes," I hissed throwing him his other garments.

"Ugh, fine," he scoffed, peeling off the rest of his clothing.

As he was getting dressed, he asked me a question I wish he didn't have to ask.

"Katsuki... when you told Lady Momo that I was your friend... did you mean that? Or am I just a convenience... what am I to you?"

I looked at him as he put on the red veil.

I could still see the anxiety and disapointment that he tried his hardest to hold back.

"Why would you ever be only an inconvenience?" I asked.

"I don't know... I just... I've gotten anxious because I really really like you, more than anyone else I've sworn my life to, and... the other person I got this close with ditched me because I wasn't useful to them anymore. I was his mode of transportation, and when I injured myself for him... he left," Eijirou explained. "I just... don't want it to happen again. Being left behind after becoming so close with someone really hurts. I don't wanna lose you,"

While he spoke, smoke began to pour from his mouth.

He was stressing himself out.

"Hey, Eijirou,"

I cupped his cheek from underneath the veil.

"I don't plan on leaving you. You're more than a convenience. And... I would love it if you became more than just a friend,"

Eijirou looked at me with his big red eyes.

"Huh?"

"Will you... be my significant other?" I asked, looking away.

I felt my veil being brushed aside before a pair of lips pressed up to mine.

Then they immediately pulled back.

"Sorry, I'd love to. I also want to kiss you longer, but I don't want to fill your lungs with smoke,"

I grinned at the dragon boy, and kisses his temple.

"Let's go deliver this shit to Lady Momo, then maybe we can go take a visit to Zora's Domain, yeah?"

"Yeah,"
