Okay. It’s time for GUESS THE AU!

Katsuki slapped a hand to his neck sharply to kill the hundredth mosquito to try its luck that day. /Fucking nasty parasites/.

“Die, fucker.” He grumbled out, wiping his sweat dampened palm down his side to get rid of the dead bug, before gripping the stock of the rifle that hung around his neck again.

Bakugou hated jungles. He hated how hot and humid it was, hated that his clothes stuck to him like a second skin. He hated having to slap at himself to kill bugs and he fucking /hated/ that he was going to be stuck there for six months.

“We aren’t that far off where we’re going to be setting up the base camp. I can’t wait to get started! This is gonna be amazing!” An enthusiastic voice sounded out behind him.

Katsuki ground his teeth together before snapping back, “I fucking /know/ Deku. Now cann it, I’m tryna focus on making sure some dumb animal doesn’t try and eat us.”

He huffed an annoyed breath, stepping over a thick root. Just to be petty he didn’t warn the nerd, and he smirked to himself as he heard His childhood friend stumble behind him.

“Oh Deku! Are you okay?” Uraraka’s concerned voice sounded out a little further back.

“I’m okay! I just didn’t see that root, that’s all. Make sure you don’t trip too, okay?” Midoriya gave a nervous laugh and struck up a conversation with the female scientist happily.

Katsuki tuned them out and focused on keeping his feet to the path that Tetsutetsu was carving out for them; with a machete that Bakugou could see him swinging to slash at the thick leaves and vines ahead of them.

They were headed deep into the jungle to research a group of rare plants and to catalog various species of insects and native animals - if they could find them.

The research group had been dropped off hours ago at the vast island’s beach, and they’d been trudging along since then.

Bakugou couldn’t wait to get to the supposed clearing, set up his tent and get off his aching fucking feet. This trip was gonna be a ball ache, he knew it already.

It’s not that Katsuki didn’t find the research that they were doing important, but he’d have rather have done everything himself, so that he wouldn’t have to deal with a bunch of annoying nerds and lousy extras.

They trudged on for another couple of hours before they arrived at the base ground.

Bakugou stepped between two massively thick trees and took an impressed breath in, raising his eyebrows at his new home. Or what would be his home when everything was set up.

The clearing was surprisingly big, considering how thick and close the trees and plants had been up until that point.

Huge trees surrounded the mossy clearing almost like a wall, their topmost branches spread inward to create a canopy above that blocked almost all the sunlight out.

Vines hung and looped from their branches and grew along their trunks. Even as tired and cranky as he felt right then, Katsuki could admit that It was beautiful.

“Right, you fucking nerds, listen up!” He turned to address the scientists, researchers, hired help, and even the group’s hired bodyguards.

“This place is fucking dangerous, so if you wanna stay alive, you’d better watch out for all the nasties while we set up. Anyone who gets bit by a snake, a spider, or even a fucking /bunny rabbit/ will also get a punch in the face. You got that?”

A chorus of ‘yes, Bakugou’s’ rang out before everyone moved to do their part.

Katsuki smirked and stomped over to the opposite end of the clearing to throw his pack to the ground and put down his rifle, before turning back to go help unload one of the supply carts.

More supplies would be delivered in a mont;, but luckily they’d be bought straight to the camp so Bakugou wouldn’t be roped into trudging to the beach and all the way back cause most of the team were useless.

It took almost two hours to get the large main tents, and the individual sleeping tents, set up and the stuff dumped in them.

The whole twenty person group had made the unanimous decision to unpack the next morning and sat tiredly on folding chairs to eat cold ration packs, before retiring to their tents to sleep.

Katsuki threw himself down on his camp bed with a groan before sitting up to yank off his boots and set them at the end of the bed.

He flopped back down and closed his eyes, exhausted and annoyed that he couldn’t even take a shower before sleeping because they hadn’t set it up yet.

/Fucking jungles/, Katsuki thought to himself, before closing his eyes and falling almost immediately to sleep.

Take a guess at what I’m doing lol. It will, obviously, be NSFW
