Walking into the club after being gone for so long felt good. What felt even better was the fact that Eijiro was here with him. The plan for tonight is to have Kirishima spend some time in the sub's room and get to know some of the contracted submissives at The Red Door.

When entering the club, he had the redhead sign another agreement at the door and watched the determination that spread across Kirishima's face as he quickly scribbled his name down.

Katsuki knew that the boy was nervous. It was obvious in the way his eyes narrowed and his body tensed as they walked past the bouncers at the door. However, he wasn't too worried about Eijiro tonight. In fact, he was excited to see him relax into his role as submissive and hopefully meeting some of the other submissives will help him.

Over the past week, Kirishima had been doing extremely well with his training. The boy still wasn't comfortable being naked but took it in stride. Nonetheless, he knows that he should have a conversation with Kirishima soon about limits and updating those since the last time they looked over their contract.

When they made the contract, Eijiro had little to no experience and because their relationship was not of a sexual nature there were no real physical limits there. The one hard limit that he had insisted on was no name-calling and that was fine with Katsuki, he never had a thing for degrading his partners for play.

Walking over to the VIP section, he is quickly let inside to the separate room section of the club that is only for members of the club and their guests. No visitors from the outside are allowed back there unless invited by a member.

Taking a firm hold on the redhead's arm, he leads him past the bouncers and into a dimly lit area where his friends were sitting and waiting for him to arrive. Katsuki had called them a few days ago to set this up.

Hanta, Tokoyami, and Aizawa all showed up to hang out. Tokoyami and Aizawa volunteered their boys to meet with Ei in the sub's room to welcome him and speak with him. Katsuki knows that Kirishima has questions that he would like to ask, things that he would probably be more comfortable asking another submissive rather than him.

Aizawa had insisted on this step being taken before Kirishima went any further in his training. Bringing a submissive into the lifestyle from a purely vanilla past has a different set of requirements and although he would have wanted his redheaded friend to do this as well, it makes it easier to have it organized by the Master Dom of the club considering his own submissive is here as well and has experience vetting other subs in training.

Kirishima moves along behind him quickly, keeping his pace with his eyes pointing to the ground. A smirk pulls at Katsuki's lips as he quickly glances back to witness the beautiful way that Eijiro's eyes are lowered and how his hair is swaying in front of his eyes.

Spotting Hanta on the sofa section next to the other dominants, he walks over and flashes a grin at Hanta who is watching Kirishima with a smirk. Denki is kneeled between Hanta's legs and resting his head on his master's thigh.

"Hanta, would you mind handing over Denki for a little while to show Kirishima to the sub's room?"

Hanta chuckles and shakes his head as Katsuki's lack of greeting. It's not like this wasn't already planned, he even texted Hanta a few minutes ago to let him know they had arrived.

However, both Aizawa and Tokoyami who were seated roll their eyes but smile over at him. Sami was perched on his daddy's lap while Chris kneeled with his head bowed and his palms on the floor.

Sami had been with Aizawa for 2 years now. They are dating and have been mad for with one another ever since Sami's first trip to the club when he scolded Aizawa for bumping into him. Katsuki didn't witness it, obviously, he has only been around here for the past 6 months. However, the story of their first meeting had made its' way around and was quite hilarious.

Sami has a wild personality as most brats do.

Chris, on the other hand, is an oddball but matches perfectly with Tokoyami. Tokoyami is the only sadist contracted with the club and we all were afraid that he'd never find a submissive that met his needs. However, Chris came waltzing in one day and asked for a meeting with Aizawa, saying that he was a true masochist and had no luck finding a good master in his past club.

Chris had been abused by his last master and was scared but heard of Aizawa's reputation of having some of the best dominants in the country and chose to search here for a partner.

Tokoyami and Chris hit it off almost instantly. Katsuki had been lucky enough to see that relationship start, and although he doesn't really get the dynamic of their M/S contract, he does see the love and affection that his friend has for Chris.

"It's good to see you too, Bakugou."

Hanta's sarcastic tone didn't go unnoticed by the group as they all chuckle lightly. Denki's eyes flash open as he hears Bakugou's name and his golden eyes flicker to the redhead behind Katsuki before he smiles at his roommate.

Aizawa kisses Sami's cheek and sends him off to the sub's room along with Chris to prep before Eijiro gets there. Hanta whispers something to Denki, probably a warning to behave. Having known Denki for some time, it was clear that he is a handful and a bit reckless.

Denki nods and kissed his master before standing up and skipping over to Katsuki, making Kirishima wiggle behind him as his roommate smiles.

"I will take care of him, master Bakugou."

Before Denki can walk away with the redhead, Katsuki grabs his arm and spins him around to face him. Eijiro's cheeks are tinted with a lovely shake of pink and his eyes dart around before landing on Katsuki's face. He couldn't even be angry with the boy for making eye contact as his cherry-colored eyes stare with a doe-like innocence that made his member pulse beneath his leather.

He could feel Kirishima start to pull away before his eyes landed on him, making Katsuki realize just how much the redhead trusts him considering his jumpy reactions when people touch him. It makes a soft smile pull at his lips as he watches Kirishima relax under his hands.

"Good boy. Make sure to ask them all the questions you can. Make some friends while you're at it, and if anyone gives you trouble you will tell Denki immediately and you both come find me and Hanta. Okay, pet?"

Katsuki pulls him into his arms, and for the first time in a long while his body melts into the smaller frame of his friend and temporary submissive. Eijiro smells like lavender and honey, his smaller body tucks neatly against his chest.

At first, the boy is tense, but he timidly wraps his arms around Katsuki's waist and hugs him back, burying his face into his collar bone before quickly retreating with a shy smile.

"Thank you, sir. I will behave. I promise."

Eijiro blushes and glances back at him for a moment as Denki drags him off and begins chatting his ear off. He watches until Denki and Ei disappear into the sub's room before he sighs and turns back towards his friends who are all smirking at him.

Rolling his eyes, he flops down on the sofa and crosses his legs.

"You seem... attached." Tokoyami grins and punches his arm making him tense up and shoot a glare at his friend.

"Watch it, I'm not into all that pain shit." He fires back with a shit-eating grin, making Aizawa chuckle and Tokoyami shrugs with a smirk.

"Seriously though, how is the boy doing?" Aizawa looks at him, going all Master Dom now and causing Katsuki to chuckle and shake his head.

"He's doing great. As you know, our contract doesn't involve sexual activity, so he's just been learning the basics and how to handle being restrained lightly. We've only used a silk tie to restrain his hands behind his back as of now."

Kirishima had done extremely well and so Katsuki had asked if he was alright with bondage. At first, there was a look of panic in the redhead's eyes at the word bondage, making him instantly see red flags. He isn't stupid, he knows that something must have happened in his past.

After witnessing his panic attack and knowing his dislike for being touched by strangers, and now the way he got nervous with just the word bondage, it made things even clearer. However, he hasn't asked about that, knowing damn well that Kirishima would shut down and right now they were working on bringing him out of his shell.

Nonetheless, after explaining what they would be doing and showing Eijiro the silk tie that could be used, the boy seemed to relax some. He was still tense and nervous as his hands were being bound behind his back, but Katsuki reinforced his safe word and made sure he was alright the whole time.

After a few minutes, he could tell that Kirishima was relaxing and getting his emotions under control. Bondage was then added to his soft limits, something to be worked on but not overdone. Pushing soft limits to help the submissive grow was something welcomed and discussed after this particular training session.

"I know you have a soft spot for the boy, that's why I ask," Aizawa says after a brief pause, making Katsuki shrug and lean back into the cushions.

"We were friends a long time ago, of course, I still have some sort of soft spot for him. It doesn't change anything though with our relationship. He's a submissive in training and I am making sure he gets the information he needs before he finds a permanent dom." He replies trying to ignore the twist in his stomach at the fact that Eijiro will be leaving him in less than 2 weeks.

"Mhm..." Tokoyami sighs dramatically making him glare at the sadistic bastard who only had a grin on his face.

"What the fuck are you grinning at?"

Katsuki glares while Aizawa sits back with a smirk and just listens. Tokoyami had always been one to see through other people's bullshit, making him one hell of an annoying friend but an amazing Sado Master as it is almost impossible to lie to the man.

"You're attached to him, dude. You watch him like you're ready to pounce as soon as he gives the words. Are you going to be able to let him go when this month is up?" Tokoyami's stone-cold face only pisses him off more as his words hit a nerve.

"There is no point in denying it, we all can tell that he's caught your eye." Aizawa chimes in making his huff and cross his arms. Shaking his head, he knows they are right.

"I might have gotten a little attached to him, but I know my role in this. Kirishima doesn't want to be like that. He has said it multiple times and I don't fucking break my contracts. It's a hard limit and I won't break his trust."

It's true, he won't do anything to break Kirishima's trust.

For some fucking reason, Katsuki seems to be the one person that Ei actually trusts with his emotions and body. His friendship is more important than his attraction to the redhead. There isn't any amount of lust that could make him do something to hurt his friend now. Especially after picking up on some things that point to some sort of traumatic past.

"It's good to hear that you've still got your head on straight," Aizawa says while giving him a curious look that only makes him scowl.

"Of course, I do! I'm not a schoolboy who can't control himself. I agreed to this contract meaning I won't be having sexual contact with him or anyone else until it's over. He has the rule that he can't be sleeping with people while training, and to be fair I have held myself to the same standard."

Tokoyami snorts making him and Aizawa both look over. Tokoyami is doubled over with tears rolling down his cheeks. His laughter is almost contagious as Aizawa starts chuckling along with him.

"D-Dude! That... That fuckin' s-sucks! No sex for a month!" Tokoyami's words are choppy and broken up by his own stupid laughter. However, with both his friends laughing around him, he can't force the smile away that's forming on his face.

Shaking his head, he lets out a soft chuckle and relaxes.

"Yeah, it kind of sucks, but it's whatever. I'm a grown-ass man, I can handle it."

Tokoyami is still shaking with his held back cackles, making Aizawa snort and Katsuki roll his eyes.

"I can't believe it. YOU are going without any type of sex for a whole month because of this boy, and you're acting like it's no big deal! Oh god, that's a riot!"

Sneering under his breath, he throws his arm out punching the laughing fool in the arm and making him shout and grumble.

"Of course, you'd be the fucked-up individual who gets pleasure out of other people's suffering," Katsuki grumbles, throwing a jab at the man's affinity for making people suffer.

"It's what I do best." He replies with a shrug, his face laced with a grin that says he doesn't care about that little jab Katsuki had tried to throw at him.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Don't worry about me. I am fine with what I am doing, and if it's to help a friend then I don't care. I hurt him 5 years ago when I left, not physically but emotionally. I was dealing with my own shit and abandoned our friendship. I won't hurt him again like that, if he needs this, I will give it to him." Katsuki explains making his friends stop their chucking and listen.

Not liking the silence anymore, he sighs and changes the subject.

"How is Sami doing? He seems lively as ever." Chucking he looks over at Aizawa who is smiling fondly and shaking his head.

"Yesterday was our 2-year anniversary. He was pouting all day because he thought that I forgot when I had a big surprise for him in the evening." The fond smile on Aizawa's face shows just how much he loves his boy. Not only are they Dom and Sub, but they are also boyfriends.

"Shit, I'm sure that was fun to deal with." Katsuki grimaces, remembering the one time Sami had a tantrum over dinner one day. his pouting lasted hours after the incident even happened.

"Yeah, I had to ruin my surprise and tell him I didn't forget just to get him to stop moping around and giving me death glares."

Smirking, he sees Tokoyami who only rolls his eyes knowing to stay out of it because his way of dealing with disobedience from a sub is different than theirs. Tokoyami would probably whip his slave until he beat the fight out of him, fucking weird man. Hell, and the fact that Chris likes it makes him even weirder. He'd never say that to his friend though, kink-shaming isn't his thing and for Tokoyami and Chris, this isn't just a kink. It's something they need to live a normal life.

Katsuki can relate to that.

"I fucked him and left him tied up until it was time to leave for dinner," Aizawa says with a chuckle, making him bark a laugh and smirk.

"Sounds like some shit I would do, to be honest. I can't say I don't miss having a contracted submissive to play with like that though."

It's the truth, although he finds himself lusting after the redhead who is in his home most days and nights, he knows that in 2 weeks the contract will end and Eijiro will be gone. Maybe it's time for him to start looking at other submissives at the club and hopefully set something up for when the month is over.

Tokoyami and Aizawa both give him a look that tells him everything he needs to know. He needs to either push these shitty feelings aside and get ready to move on from this lust-crush he has on his friend, or he needs to pursue it and have a conversation with Kirishima about their options.

The second option makes him nervous, a feeling the dominant doesn't like experiencing. The feeling of not being in control of the outcome has him on edge as he shakes those thoughts from his head.

He needs to push the feelings away.

His friendship with the redhead is too important and after fucking up majorly for 5 years and hurting Ei, Katsuki refuses to make the same mistake twice. 

It's easy to push away something that is just lust and sexual attraction, so he needs to stop this now before he makes the mistake of falling in love with another beautiful boy who will only break his already fucked up heart... again.
