// tell me how many times I wrote the word gold in this chapter, I am disgusted at myself.

"How did you meeting with Enji go, Izuku?" Toshinori asks, adding more pillows to the bed Izuku was resting on.

"It was alright, I thought he'd be more difficult since he lead me inside of his lair, not to mention, he made it clear that he should be allowed to decline."

"What did he ask from you?"

"...A divine protection."

"A divine protection?" Izuku pouted.

"Enji stole my first ritual kiss... I usually just kiss people on the forehead for my divine protections but he..." Izuku whined, hugging a pillow tightly. "I-I can't believe I l-let him do something like that!"

"I find it more surprising that you've went on this long without kissing someone on a ritual, Izuku."

"Ah... I guess that's true, well uh... do you think I do it well?" Toshinori blinks.

"I suppose, anything from you is well and fine, Izuku."

"You're just saying that! Come here-"

"Toshinori, you look plenty drained." Aizawa states at Toshinori's disheveled state, the man looks half dead and that's plenty considering how he normally looks like, which is already half dead.

"Kinda surprising isn't it? Especially after I transferred so much essence to him!" Izuku chirps, hugging Toshinori's arm, Izuku let's him go though and Toshinori collapses to the ground.

"Oops, maybe I fed him too much. Hey Toshi, how was it?"

"H-How..? How was... how was what...?" Toshinori asks, dazed, trying to stand up.

"You know, my kisses."

Thump

"...I'll go visit Katsuki first, take care of him first, okay Aizawa?"

Aizawa grunts as Izuku leaves in a flash, helping the poor blond up.

"Well, how was it? You never answered his questions."

"... Please throw me in the den of the sinned, Aizawa."

"Sure, just tell me when you want to get out. Do you need something else? I'll call Chiyo if you're having that much problems."

"I...I'll be fine..."

"Katsuki!"

"Midori!" The blond said, running up to him, he grew up a bit, now looking like a child instead of a toddler. He hugs Izuku tightly.

"Awww you were just as cute as you were when I last saw you!" Izuku giggles, pulling away, kissing his forehead, Katsuki giggles, hugging him again.

"Did you miss me?" The blond nodded.

"I missed you too!" Izuku chirps. Standing up, cradling the blond in his arms.

"Want to go somewhere? I'll ask your parents if they'll let me take you to a city far from here!"

"Far from this...?" Katsuki asks, "but... everyone will be stuck here while I'm having fun..." He says, looking down.

"Oh don't worry, once you've learned how to control your powers, you'll be able to get everyone out safe and alive, okay Katsu?" Katsuki nods.

"O-Okay then."

"Hey!" Izuku says, calling out a villager, it was Katsuki's 'mom'.

"I'm gonna steal this for a bit, come back later bye!" He chirps before leaving in a blinding flash, Katsuki clutching tightly unto him.

They appeared in what seemed to be a temple, Katsuki's first instinct is to look around, plants and flowers, even trees flooded the temple all alike, the only thing clean off the path was the way to the entrance to the altar, it almost seemed like a forest lurks in it. Izuku careful lets Katsuki down and holds his little hand.

"Midori, where are we?" He asks.

"We're in a sanctuary of mine! I come here sometimes to check how the humans are doing." Katsuki nods. He noticed that there were animals he never seen before in this place as well.

"Let's go now, people should be alerted that I came to visit already." Izuku smiles, and starts to walk, Katsuki follows after him, going down the stairs, the moment Izuku exited the sanctuary it almost seemed like his entire appearance changed.

Light blue flowers grew around his head like a crown, tinted with gold at the ends, twigs and branches also protruded, resembling deer antlers and on those branches were more flowers of the same shade as the on top of his head, a neck piece appeared in a bright light light, finely made ornaments of golds and emeralds and jade hung, covering his neck and hung were pure white pearls from it.

Golden earrings appeared on his ears and golden bracers on his wrists, 3 bangles also appeared on his left wrists, two of them making an x while one stayed still, on his waist and right thigh was golden ornaments and on his ankles were golden anklets, he was a robe of pure white that resembled a chiffon and somehow a robe, a second layer was ontop of it, this time a bit translucent.

"Ah it's been awhile since I went out like this, what do you think, Katsuki?" Izuku says, looking down at Katsuki, the blond had a look of amazement on his face, looking a bit red.

"I think you look really pretty, Midori!" He says, "Mom also wear shiny things but I think you wear them more nicer!"

Izuku flushed from those words, Katsuki is just too cute!

"You're such a charmer, so cute...!" Izuku clenches his fists tight, trying his best not to just hug the blond there and then, "Well uh, let's go walk into town now okay? Feel free to get anything you like, I'll pay for it." Katsuki nods.

They walk into town, there's a lot of people who Katsuki doesn't know so he sticks near Izuku, he notices how everyone is looking at them, well more specifically, Izuku, Katsuki for some reason, doesn't like it that much, especially when they're giving him such weird looks. His mom always told him to stay away from people who had that weird look on their faces.

Katsuki notices that something smells good and he stops for a bit, looking at a stall who were selling meat skewers in it, Katsuki tugged Izuku's hand and pointed at it. Izuku nodded and released his hand, running to the stall owner while Izuku followed behind.

"I want lots! Give me!" Katsuki said, reaching out for the meat, the man looked about to stop him until he noticed the cold deadly glare the god of life was giving him, with no choice he let the blond take half of his products away with a sigh, Izuku smiles and with a whiff of his hand, turns the sausages that were hanging in his stall into gold. That should be enough of a payment.

Katsuki greedily ate up everything, even the skewer itself, letting out a burp that released steam off from his mouth and nose, meat was a luxury to eat in their island, even him, the most important person there only gets to eat it once a week.

"How about something cold, Katsuki?" Izuku asks.

"Cold?"

"Yep!" Izuku chirps, they go to another stall, an ice cream vendor, Katsuki isn't sure what ice cream is but Izuku gets him a large vanilla cone, he holds it in his hands, staring at the white whip with vigour before biting it.

He was surprised, it tasted sweet and cold and like milk! He's only allowed to have milk when it's warm! Do milk become sweet when cold?!

Izuku had to stop Katsuki from shoving the entire ice cream cone in his mouth since the cone was about the size of his head,
