“Happy Halloween!” Midoriya waved cheerfully as the door closed. He turned around, smiling as he saw Bakugo eyeing the candy bar they had each been given, asking, “Isn't this great, Kacchan?” He started to walk down the path away from the house, following the street to the next house, adding, “I am so glad you were able to take time from training so that we were able to go trick-or-treating tonight! I always love doing it!”
“Tsk.” Bakugo muttered, walking along after Midoriya and stuffing the candy into his pillowcase. “I still say we're too old for this sh--” He paused as some young children excitedly ran past them, the parent jogging along behind them. “...this crap.” he corrected himself, eyeing the children with a distasteful look. But then he got a positively wolfish grin on his face as he hefted the pillow case in his hand, feeling the weight of it. “But hey, free candy's free candy! And this could be considered additional exercise as well, so... Why the fu--hell not?”
“I knew you'd enjoy it.” Midoriya beamed, pausing to adjust the hood of his costume as they walked along.
Among the various gaggles of excited young children and chaperoning parents, the two heroes-in-training blended right in. Midoriya sported a large draping sheet over his whole body, with ragged edges and obvious areas of haphazard stitches. A stitched smiley face on the hood, topped with a little top hat, various stitched-on outlines of candies, and him carrying a fake lantern sold the comical ghost costume.
Bakugo, on the other hand, had gone a bit more low key with his costume. At first glance, the green trench-coat with a white fur-trimmed hood, ragged white shirt, black trousers and boots didn't really point to any Halloween creature in particular, but upon closer inspection, Bakugo sported a fake tail, large canine ears on top of his head, a heavy collar fixed with a broken chain, an additional broken chain on his wrist, bandages on his other wrist, long black 'claws', and some fitted fangs.
As they walked the streets, the 'ghost' and 'escaped werewolf' blended in seamlessly with the crowds of monsters, faeries, beasts, and animals.
It was starting to get a bit late though, with the children starting to tire and get taken home to enjoy their sugary hauls. The older kids were still out and about, and Midoriya was eager to wave whenever he saw someone he recognized from their class, many of them crossing paths throughout the night, as they had separated to avoid overwhelming the houses by arriving all at once.
He was just waving bye to Kaminari, in an imp costume, when he paused, looking around pointedly.
Bakugo noticed this, grunting out, “What?”
Midoriya frowned slightly, saying, “I just noticed I haven't seen Shoto around in a while...” He pondered this a moment, muttering, “The last I saw him was when we met up at that house about half an hour ago... I had to stop for a second because my candy bucket spilled, and you two walked ahead... By the time I caught up, he was gone!” He looked over. “Did you see where he went, Kacchan? I'd like to see him again before the night's over! Wish him a Happy Halloween!” He beamed. “I know he is new to trick-or-treating since he couldn't do it when he was little, so I just want to make sure he has a good time.”
Bakugo shrugged at all this, the fake chain rattling a bit. ”I'm not his big brother. Icyhot can do whatever the fuck he wants.” He then paused a moment, adding, “He probably got tired and went to rest.”
Midoriya sighed a bit, saying, “That's a shame... I was hoping to see him... But I hope he had a good time!” He then smiled, and walked a little more briskly. “Come on, Kacchan! Let's get a few more houses before people close up for the night!”
“Don't give me orders!” Bakugo barked out, but kept pace with him nonetheless.
They continued to trick-or-treat for another half hour until they noticed that most houses were starting to turn off their outdoor lights. Seeing this, Midoriya paused under a streetlight to check his bucket, pleased to see it was nearly full, and that it was quite heavy! He glanced over to see Bakugo equally checking his haul, and Midoriya blinked at how bulging the pillowcase was. “Oh WOW, Kacchan! You've got a ton!”
Bakugo hastily closed the pillowcase, snarling, “Hey, quit looking at my haul! You've got your OWN candy to stuff your face with!”
Midoriya held up a hand peacefully, grinning as he said, “No, no! I wasn't going to ask for anything! I'm just in awe you have so much! It's twice as much as me, but we went to the same homes.”
Bakugo huffed and started to walk towards the last house with a lit porch, seeing a gaggle of teens leaving after having their share. “Yeah well, I guess I'm just better than you at EVERYTHING, including trick-or-treating!”
Midoriya sighed a little, jogging to catch up after him, whining a little bit. “Kacchan, it's NOT a competition!”
They came to the door, knocked, and while Midoriya cheerfully greeter the homeowner with the classic, “Trick-or-treat!”, Bakugo just glowered, growling out, “Treat. You don't want the trick.”
The homeowner had a good chuckle at them, gave them a hefty handful each to finish off the bowl, and waved them off as they went inside and the porch light went out.
Now with just the dim street lights, both young heroes paused to sit on the curb, glad for a chance to rest. They were well-used to exercise and training, but it was still nice to sit down after a solid 3 hours of walking!
Midoriya stretched, sighing happily, “Oh that was GREAT...” He then sighed. “I sure hope Shoto had a good time...”
Bakugo grunted, snapping, “Why're you so fixated on Icyhot? He's fine!” He paused for a heartbeat of time, adding swiftly, “He hasn't called you for anything, so why're you so focused on him?”
Midoriya didn't notice the odd speaking manner, and just focused on his candy, rooting out to see what he could have as a snack before they headed out. “Well, like I said, I know he didn't get to as a kid, and this was his first REAL Halloween with us! I just don't want him to think we abandoned him when we all split up earlier.”
There was a pause before Bakugo smirked toothily, his fake fangs catching the light of the streetlamp. “Quit worrying about him. He's dumb, but he's not COMPLETELY stupid. He's probably fine.” Bakugo leaned over to also dig in his bag a little, looking around them.
The other teens and class members were wandering off for the night, some pausing to get a snack from their haul, just like they were, but mostly heading off. It was very quiet on the street now, and Bakugo's red eyes narrowed, flicking over to look at Midoriya.
Midoriya, unaware of the look, made a cheerful sound as he sat up, holding the candy he had picked. “Kacchan, look!” he showed him the package. “It's 'All Might Candy Laces'! I LOVE these things!” He started to open the package, but yelped as Bakugo reached over to snag it. “No, Kacchan, that's mine!”
“Calm down, I'm just looking.” he barked back, eyeing the package of candy. There were about ten of the candy laces, about the length and width of strands of spaghetti, with '5 Plus Ultra Flavors To Enjoy', according to the package, making Bakugo roll his eyes a little at the cringey marketing. He tossed it back to Midoriya, who caught it easily, remarking, “Aren't those the ones you braided and plaited when we were younger?”
Midoriya grinned as he opened the package, saying, “Yeah! I mean, you have to be a little more delicate than with string, obviously, but they can be tied into all kinds of knots, and they hold up pretty well under pressure! At least, until you get them wet, or just bite through them.”
Midoriya jumped as Bakugo lunged towards him suddenly, grabbing for Midoriya's wrist, his larger hand easily enveloping the smaller hero's wrist.
Midoriya frowned at this, and started to try and yank free, saying, “No, Kacchan, NO! You get your own candy! You have twice as much as me to pick from!”
But Bakugo wasn't letting go, and there was a sudden 'click' from Bakugo's hand where it held Midoriya's wrist, making him freeze in confusion. As Bakugo withdrew his hand, Midoriya stared in shock at the training band that had been clipped in place, Bakugo was smiling hugely, licking his lips as he watched the realization dawn on Midoriya. “I don't want CANDY right now...”
Now Midoriya understood why Bakugo had agreed to come, but only after training. He had snuck out the training shrinking band with him! He had planned this from the start!
Scrabbling for the band, trying to unlatch it, Midoriya felt himself grow dizzy as it took effect, saying shakily as he fought the waves of dizziness, “K-Kacchan, you... You c-can't be S-SERIOUS!”
But Bakugo was now leaned back, smirking in delight, watching as his classmate grew smaller and smaller, the candy bucket now looking enormous next to him. His red eyes kept flicking around them, but they were alone now, which is why he had waited to strike. Though still cautious, he allowed himself to enjoy his victory, leaning over the small form, saying, “Relax, nerd. You know this won't hurt you.” He reached out for Midoriya's small form, holding the 6-inch tall young hero easily, adding while he reached for the dropped packet of candy laces, “And besides, you'll still get your candy, so quit bitching!”
As Midoriya squirmed a bit blearily as he fought to regain his senses, Bakugo worked quickly. He placed Midoriya on his thigh, and used his hands to fish the candy laces out of the packet Midoriya had opened. He then quickly grabbed for three of the laces, unfolded them, and quickly twirled them together into a loose 'rope'. He then used his rope to pin Midoriya's arms to his sides, being sure to wind a few coils of the candy around his belly and chest. While Midoriya was quirkless for the moment thanks to the band, the restraints were still CANDY, so he was being careful.
Midoriya was finally able to shake the last of the dizziness from his head just as Bakugo finished the final knot, observing his work with delight. Midoriya had his arms pinned down his his sides, and several strands of the laces ensured he wasn't able to get free. But in addition, Bakugo had left a long length of the candy untied, the purpose of which was quickly demonstrated as he used it to lift Midoriya up into the air.
Yelping and kicking, since his legs were free, Midoriya took in his situation, panting. He wasn't hurt, the candy laces weren't too tight, but he was held firmly enough that even while he was dangling, legs kicking over open air, he didn't feel like he would slip free and fall.
He grunted a bit, trying to shimmy himself out of the candy, thinking that he would land on Bakugo's lap and avoid injury, but Bakugo chuckled as Midoriya's efforts were fruitless, leaving the little hero to squirm and grunt as he swung in place.
Eventually, he hung still, glaring at Bakugo, grumbling, “You know Mr Aizawa will be upset with you taking the band out of school grounds, right?”
Bakugo only chuckled, lifting Midoriya up above his head, the kicking shoes above his mouth. “Not that it's any of your business, but I got extended permission.” Bakugo growled out. “So long as I return it tomorrow, then there's no issue.” He then licked at one of the small red sneakers, causing Midoriya to tuck up his legs, yelping. “Now quit bitching.” Bakugo snarled, but there was a smile on his face that caused the fake fangs to be very prominently displayed. “And go ahead and keep squirming...”
Midoriya whimpered a bit as he looked downwards, seeing Bakugo open his mouth wide, and starting to lower him towards it immediately. He wasn't scared of this process, as he knew full well that it was safe, but he still frowned and bucked his body, trying to get his feet to stand on the teeth or lips, shouting out, “Kacchan, knock it off! You know the bands aren't meant for this! Let's just go home and eat our candy!” He wasn't surprised as Bakugo ignored him, and he grimaced as he felt his shoes bump against the soft tongue.
He could already feel the warmth of Bakugo's breath, and while he was a little thankful for it, as the night air had started to bite a bit, he hefted up his legs, trying to get his feet to stand on the teeth, grunting out, “Kacchan, STOP!” He was hopeful for a moment when his sneaker managed to catch on the edge of a tooth, but all too quickly, the slick surface caused his foot to slide and he shuddered as his legs were now trapped in the large mouth.
Bakugo was still lowering him, and apparently, he wanted to be sure Midoriya didn't have the time to pull off any stunts, as he was being quick about it. In less than a minute, Midoriya was now halfway in Bakugo's mouth, his legs stretched out along the tongue before him, his waist level with the ring of teeth. He was face-up in the mouth, meaning Midoriya was able to look Bakugo in the eye, grumbling, “You're a jerk, Kacchan...”
The resulting rumbling chuckle seemed to thrum in Midoriya's bones, making him shiver a bit in awe, but he soon yelped as Bakugo closed his mouth around the legs, pinning them in place. He was still keeping his head tilted back, something that made Midoriya worry that things were about to go VERY quickly. Maybe Bakugo was worried about being discovered, and he was about to force Midoriya down as quickly as he could?
Looking down at himself again, Midoriya had a surreal moment of seeing that with Bakugo's mouth closed, the teeth were touching his belly. But he wasn't scared. He knew that Bakugo would be careful with him. Instead, what he found interesting was that the fake fangs seemed to further entrap him, as the points came down on either side of his body, seeming to ensure that he was lined up straight in Bakugo's mouth.
Bakugo's tongue shifting under his legs caught his attention though, and he shuddered as he felt a kind of pulse and wave from the powerful muscle. He wriggled, calling out, “Kacchan, come on! Knock it off!” but just as he had anticipated, Bakugo took a quick breath, then opened his mouth wide and lowering the candy entirely, he gulped hard.
Bakugo was delighted as Midoriya went down like a shot, his little form sliding down smooth as silk thanks to the licking, and the candy making him extra slick! However, Bakugo wasn't done with his little snack, and the moment Midoriya's head slid down past his tongue, Bakugo lifted his hand again, causing the candy laces to go taut.
There was a confused moment there Bakugo felt he would gag, as he suddenly had a large lump present in his throat, right beneath his airways. He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down and breathe, and soon, the urge passed. He was then able to sit there, holding the candy laces, and feel it as Midoriya squirmed in his gullet, muffledly calling up that 'This isn't funny!'
Bakugo sighed in delight, and carefully, he spoke up, saying, “Maybe not funny, but is IS delicious...”
He felt Midoriya freeze in surprise, and then call up, “Kacchan, you're taking this too far! Let me out!”
Smirking, Bakugo replied by simply loosening one loop of the lace from around his finger, which caused Midoriya to drop and slide an inch further down his throat. He felt the little hero squirm at this, answering, “You don't give me orders.” He grinned hugely around his treat, adding, “Just enjoy the ride, nerd. I'll even be nice enough and make it worth your while!”
Midoriya panted hard, always stunned at how warm it was inside one of his classmates, and it seemed that Bakugo ran especially hot, as Midoriya felt like his strength was being sapped. He almost DID want to just relax and enjoy this, but he was fighting a bit with his pride about this being forced on him without permission.
He tried to squirm again, but the candy was not giving way at all, and he was being squeezed on all sides by the powerful muscles. He could feel them pulse and squeeze in waves, and it didn't help that Bakugo's heart was mere inches away from him, the heartbeats seeming to thump into his skull. It made it difficult to think, and Midoriya could only squirm, hoping he could somehow convince Bakugo to--
Midoriya jumped as he felt himself slide again, but this time, it was not from Bakugo teasing him by lowering the candy. As Midoriya felt his arms have more room, his heart raced, recalling what he had said before to Bakugo in regards to the candy.
“They hold up pretty well under pressure! At least, until you get them wet, or just bite through them.”
The candy was getting wet and was starting to break apart!
Midoriya gasped, trying now to stay still, to avoid stressing the candy further, but it seemed that a point of no return had been reached as one by one, he felt the strands dissolving and breaking, lessening his support with each snap!
Bakugo smirked as he felt Midoriya freeze, knowing what he was feeling. He knew the candy would only last so long, and he now waited in delight, gulping lightly to keep his muscles from locking up around Midoriya, and to keep a steady trickle of saliva flowing onto the candy laces.
As more and more strands of the laces snapped, he felt Midoriya getting more desperate, trying his best to either not wriggle to strain them, or wriggle to keep himself in place! It was kind of hilarious, to be hones--
SNAP
The final lace snapped, and there was a weird surge of movement from Midoriya, making Bakugo wince in surprise, fighting the urge to cough. The hell?! But then he realized that Midoriya was still not sliding down yet. Apparently, he had swiftly moved to grab the candy before sliding out of reach!
Bakugo then smirked.
Well, there was an easy fix for that...
Midoriya huffed as he clung to the strands of candy, digging his nails into the sugary treat the very best he could to avoid sliding off of it. He could feel the squeezing pressure on all sides, and he could feel that Bakugo was clearly eager for his treat. He could hear how excited his heartbeats were, but Midoriya tried to keep himself focused. He had to try and climb up before the main batch of laces broke as well!
He reached up a hand, grabbed the candy and pulled himself up a few inches, now thankful for the rope-climbing everyone had been forced to do in gym class.
So far, so good...
He reached up again, ready for the next handhold, when he felt as much as heard a loud and clear CLACK noise, and the candy went utterly limp.
Midoriya had only a second to process the fact that Bakugo had bitten the candy laces before the swallow came, squeezing and sucking him downwards.
Bakugo leaned his head down on his chest, grinning in delight as he felt the warm, wriggling lump get squeezed downwards, sure that if the fake tail had been real, it would have been wagging at a mile a minute. This was always an incredible sensation, and he let himself enjoy it, his hand moving to rest on his belly in anticipation, smirking as he felt a little thump against his fingers.
Nerd was going to get a surprise...
Midoriya squirmed and wriggled as he was forced downwards, muttering to himself about the whole situation, and trying to see if he could think of something to convince Bakugo to let him go.
He shuddered as he felt his feet squeeze through the tight ring of muscle into the belly, and he started trying to kick them as soon as he got space, wanting to show that he didn't appreciate being treated as just another bit of Halloween candy!
However, Midoriya went stock still as he felt a small hand calmly grab his ankle, clearly wanting to stop his kicking.
Utterly confused, Midoriya no longer kicked, but he did squirm, calling out in shock, “H-HEY?! Who's that?!” There was a muffled answer, but he wasn't in a good spot to hear anything yet, so he had to wait as Bakugo finished swallowing him down, and in just a few seconds, Midoriya was squeezing into the belly alongside someone else, who was able to guide him in to ensure no one landed on anyone else.
Once his head was finally free, Midoriya turned to the new person, staring in shock as in a dim light, he saw the distinctive red and white hair, Shoto looking at him calmly with a small smile, still dressed in the vampire costume he had been wearing earlier that evening. “Hello, Midoriya.”
Midoriya gasped a few times, hardly even hearing it as Bakugo let out a heavy, happy sigh, though he did feel it as Bakugo rubbed at the two of them, the belly full with the two of them inside, but not stretching anything uncomfortably. Bakugo would be feeling amazing, and while Midoriya did feel a tiny twinge of jealously, he was more focused on his current situation, asking in disbelief, “What... Shoto?! How long have you been in here?”
Shoto looked at him calmly, and Midoriya only now realized that around his neck, Shoto was wearing a small light-up necklace. It was a little glowing pumpkin, and he recalled that Momo had made it for him, as a special Halloween gift. It wasn't much, but it lit up the dark belly perfectly for them to see each other without issue, letting Midoriya see Shoto look relaxed as he asked, “What time is it?”
“Uh...” Midoriya checked his phone, glad that it had escaped the slime by being safe in his pocket. “8?” he reported before tucking it away again.
Shoto nodded thoughtfully, as if thinking, and then stated, “An hour, then.”
Midoriya shook his head, and started to try and sit up better, saying, “Well, we need to get out and...” He paused as he saw Shoto lying back against the soft flesh calmly, watching him curiously. “Wait...” Midoriya sat down, but then yelped as there was a loud gurgle around them, the belly shifting and churning a bit, but neither were harmed. If anything, Shoto looked like he enjoyed the muscular wave, prompting Midoriya to state, “You're very calm about this.”
“Of course.” Shoto said this in such a matter-of-fact manner that it only confused Midoriya further.
Midoriya then rephrased his question. “WHY are you so calm?”
Shoto snuggled down into the soft floor, saying, “I asked Bakugo to do this.”
There was silence for a moment between them as the heartbeats and soft gurgles echoed around them, before being broken by Midoriya asking, “WaitWHAT!?”
Shoto smiled. “Well, while I had a lot of fun, I grew a bit tired of all the children yelling and screaming, and I was a bit tired from training. I knew he had a training band, since I saw him get it from Mr Aizawa, so I asked him that instead of me going home and missing out entirely, he carry my candy, and carry me.” He felt another rub from the outside, and he leaned into it, rubbing back. “He clearly didn't dislike the idea.”
Midoriya was smiling now as an earlier mystery solved itself. “So THAT'S why he seemed to have twice as much candy as me... He had your bag too!”
“Yeah, and now I have to carry your fucking heavy bucket too, nerd!”
Bakugo's voice echoed loudly around them two of them, making Midoriya jump a little bit, but he quickly relaxed and looked upwards, scowling. “Kacchan! Why didn't you say anything?”
In a curious moment, Bakugo and Shoto both replied simultaneously. Bakugo snarling out quietly, “Icyhot asked me not to.”, while Shoto answered calmly, “I asked him not to.”
Clearly stunned, Midoriya looked to Shoto for clarification, who went on to explain, “I wanted to just... enjoy the moment, even if it was from an odd place.” He smiled again, his own fake vampire fangs glinting in the little light. “I enjoyed hearing how happy you were while you tricked-and-treated.”
“Trick-or-treated.” Midoriya correctly gently, but he was also smiling. He grunted as he felt Bakugo stand up, the two of them forced to lie almost on top of each other, but neither minded and just shifted to lie side-by-side. As they felt Bakugo start to walk, a calm and steady swaying motion, neither of them worried at all, Midoriya asking with a shy smile, “And so... you DID have fun?”
Shoto nodded his head. “Yes, definitely. I want to do this again next year.” he added immediately afterwards.
Bakugo walked along the sidewalk, Midoriya's bucket now in his pillowcase next to Shoto's smaller pillowcase of candy, the whole thing slung over his shoulder. He headed for the nearest metro station, as he did need to access the reversal for the band before they all went home for the night, but he took his sweet time walking there, smiling hugely to himself, fake fangs bared in the night air.
This wasn't a bad way to end an evening! He could get used to this!
He listened idly as the two of them spoke a bit, and he allowed it for now, as they were alone, but at the mention of next year, he took a moment to prod his belly, snarling down at them, “Well, next year, you're both walking yourselves back home!” There were some little giggles at this, and while he scowled outwardly, Bakugo couldn't help be amused by everything.
As he neared the metro and saw other people, he then softened his voice, saying, “Now, pipe down as I get us back to school. Have to resize you two after I evict you.”
There were two quiet calls of “Thank you, Bakugo.” and “Thanks, Kacchan!”, making Bakugo smile despite himself.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Shut up.” Bakugo grumbled, and kept walking, but then paused, recalling what he had said earlier. He took a moment to stop, dig in the candy bag, and then smiled. He had himself gotten another packet of the candy laces and he worked on the packet, opening it JUST enough to ensure that Midoriya and Shoto wouldn't have an issue with their small size, and then gulped down the small packet.
There was a pause, and then a delighted squeal from Midoriya at the gift of enormous candy for them to enjoy while Bakugo got them home. “There.” Bakugo grumbled. “NOW shut up.”
Knowing they couldn't talk anymore around people, Bakugo shuddered as he felt two sets of firm but gentle rubs, and then felt the two little heroes settle and enjoy their candy.
Smirking to himself, Bakugo hefted the bag back on his shoulder and slowly made his way to the metro station, making a note that maybe indeed this could happen again next year.
End
