Chapter 10
It had been months since Bakugou's first night at the BDSM club with Aizawa, and since then, his world had opened up in ways he hadn't expected. The people he had met there—some familiar faces and others who were new—had become a part of his extended circle, slowly but surely weaving themselves into his life. Bakugou was still processing everything from that night, but he couldn’t deny the pull to return. There was something about the atmosphere of the club, the sense of belonging in a world he’d never fully understood until now, that kept drawing him back.
Tonight was different. It wasn’t his first time back, but it was the first time he was going on his own with Aizawa, no longer just an observer. Their connection had deepened since that first visit, and tonight was a subtle shift—Bakugou was stepping into a new space. He wasn’t just Aizawa's charge, or his submissive; he was starting to belong in this world, alongside the people Aizawa cared for.
As they entered the club again, the familiar hum of energy greeted them. The sounds of low conversations, the occasional soft laughter, the crackle of leather against skin—it was all part of the rhythm of this world. Bakugou noticed his heart rate pick up, but this time, it wasn’t from anxiety. It was anticipation, excitement at seeing the people he had met before—and maybe even a little bit of curiosity about how their relationships had evolved since that night.
Aizawa led the way through the darkened space, his hand resting lightly on Bakugou's back, guiding him with steady, confident movements. The air felt charged with possibilities, and Bakugou couldn’t shake the feeling that tonight would be another step toward solidifying his place in this strange, fascinating world.
**The Omega Couple: Ochako and Toga**
As they moved toward the bar area, Bakugou saw them again—Ochako and Toga. The last time he had met them, he had been thrown off by Toga’s playful energy and Ochako’s warmth. Tonight, though, he could sense a deeper dynamic between them, something that went beyond simple interaction.
Ochako, with her ever-present smile, was the first to spot them. “Aizawa! Bakugou!” she greeted them enthusiastically, her eyes bright and welcoming. “It’s good to see you two again.”
Toga, leaning casually against the counter, shot Bakugou a knowing look as she caught his gaze. "You’ve been a bit quiet, huh?" Her voice was light, but her tone held a deeper curiosity that Bakugou couldn’t ignore.
“I’m just taking it all in,” Bakugou muttered, not sure how much he wanted to share. It wasn’t that he didn’t like them—they were easy to talk to, but something about Toga's energy always left him on edge.
Ochako, ever the mediator, smiled at him reassuringly. “It’s a lot to take in at first, but don’t feel like you need to rush. Just go at your own pace. There’s no pressure here.”
Toga hummed thoughtfully, her eyes flicking over to Aizawa with a playful smirk. “Yeah, Aizawa’s got his way of bringing people out of their shells. But don’t forget, you’ve got to be comfortable in your own skin, too.”
Bakugou grunted in agreement, shifting slightly as he found himself in their orbit again. It was strange, but he was starting to enjoy the space that they had carved out for him in their world. Despite Toga’s teasing and Ochako’s easy-going nature, Bakugou felt like he could relax around them—just a little bit.

**The Alpha Couple: Kirishima and Mina**
As they moved deeper into the club, Aizawa led Bakugou toward another familiar pair: Kirishima and Mina, the alpha couple Bakugou had met before. The last time they had crossed paths, Bakugou had been more focused on getting the lay of the land than forming connections, but tonight was different.
Kirishima’s voice boomed as soon as he saw them approach. “Yo, Bakugou! Glad you made it back, man! How’s it feel to be around this crazy crowd again?” His grin was wide, infectious, and Bakugou couldn’t help but smirk at him.
“It’s... fine,” Bakugou muttered, his usual guarded nature coming through, but the tension in his shoulders had loosened since last time. “Still not sure what the hell I’m doing, but it’s getting easier.”
Kirishima clapped him on the back, the force of the gesture making Bakugou’s breath hitch just a little. “Hell yeah! That’s the spirit! There’s no rush, dude. Just go with the flow. Mina and I are here to help you out if you need anything, okay?”
Mina, who had been watching the exchange with a soft smile, nodded in agreement. Her pink hair framed her face as she tilted her head, her gaze gentle but firm. “You’re not alone in this, Bakugou. Everyone here’s been through their own journey. There’s no right or wrong way to be.”
Bakugou found himself feeling unexpectedly grateful for their words. Kirishima and Mina’s presence was warm and solid, a reminder that he wasn’t just alone in this new world.

**Midoriya and Todoroki: Beta and Alpha Couple**
Bakugou had always found Midoriya and Todoroki an interesting pair. Midoriya’s quiet confidence and calm demeanor had an almost magnetic pull, while Todoroki’s aloofness had a certain intensity. It wasn’t that Bakugou didn’t get along with them—it was just... different. But tonight, seeing them in a social setting felt more natural.
“Bakugou!” Midoriya greeted him first, his voice gentle as always. “It’s good to see you again. Aizawa mentioned you’d be coming by tonight.”
Bakugou grunted in acknowledgment, crossing his arms. “Yeah, well... you know how it is. Got used to the place, I guess.”
Todoroki, his silvery hair falling over his face as he watched Bakugou, offered a short nod. “You’re handling everything well. I’m glad to see you more at ease.”
“Yeah,” Bakugou replied, though his voice carried an edge. “Not sure if ‘at ease’ is the right word. But it’s getting there.”
Midoriya smiled at him, his expression kind but understanding. “No need to rush. There’s no timeline for this. We all go at our own pace.”
Bakugou’s brows furrowed as he processed Midoriya’s words. It wasn’t something he had expected to hear from someone like him. But there was a wisdom in those words, and Bakugou couldn’t deny it made sense.

**Hizashi and Hitoshi: Omega And Alpha Couple**
Bakugou was relieved to see his best friend Hizashi, who was far more relaxed in this setting than Bakugou ever thought possible. Hizashi’s usual bright, energetic demeanor was even more exaggerated in this environment, his loud laugh and boisterous personality impossible to ignore. But beside him was Hitoshi, his quiet omega partner, whose steady presence made Bakugou feel oddly centered.
“Yo, Bakugou!” Hizashi greeted with his usual enthusiasm. “Aizawa said you were coming back tonight. Good to see you again, man!”
Bakugou gave him a tight nod. “Yeah, I’m here. Took me a while to get back into the swing of things.”
Hitoshi, standing a little behind Hizashi, gave Bakugou a smile that was almost shy, but there was no mistaking the warmth in it. “You’re doing great,” he said softly, his voice low but carrying an undeniable sincerity. “It’s okay to take things slow.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Bakugou muttered, his throat tight for reasons he wasn’t sure he wanted to unpack yet. “I’ll get there.”
Hizashi leaned in with a mischievous grin, his voice dropping conspiratorially. “Just don’t let Aizawa get too comfortable. He might think you’re ready for anything.”
Bakugou shot him a look, but it was one full of unspoken understanding. His best friend was, as always, the only one who could tease him without pushing too hard.

As the night went on, Bakugou felt the weight of the connections around him. There was something uniquely comforting about being surrounded by people who, despite their differences, shared a common bond. It wasn’t just the play or the submission—it was the understanding of what it meant to trust someone completely, to navigate the highs and lows of their identities in a space where they could truly be themselves.
Bakugou may not have had all the answers yet, and he might never have everything figured out. But with Aizawa by his side and the people he had met in this world, Bakugou finally felt like he wasn’t alone.
As they left the club later that night, Bakugou walked beside Aizawa, feeling a sense of quiet contentment settle over him. Aizawa’s hand brushed against his back again, a steadying presence in the crowd.
“You’re doing well,” Aizawa said, his voice low, like a secret shared only between them. “We’ll keep taking this one step at a time. But you’re not alone in it anymore. I'm here and the rest of your friends are to..”
And for the first time in a long while, Bakugou didn’t mind that thought. Not at all.
