I hope you don't mind the Kacchan intermissions, Kacchan is going to be a very important character later on, think of him as like the final boss or obstacle since Endeavor is nice in this fic, after all Shoto isn't the only prince in the story, you know what I'm saying? I just don't want to randomly shove him in there for the sake of plot so I'm going to build up the reason over why Kacchan will be doing the things that he will do in the future chapters

I hope you guys enjoy this chapter ;w; also think of this as atonement for leaving for months I promise I'll get another chapter out soon
_________________

Today was Izuku's first date, as in first ever date, despite how much people had praised his appearance no one had ever tried to make a move on him ( courtesy of Shinsou's overprotective days, he's chill now though ) he wasn't really sure what to wear because all that they're going to be doing is writing letters, that's it just writing letters

"Shinsou what do you wear when you write letters for someone?"

Shinsou looked at him like he's over reacting, told him that he wrote letters in his pajamas but Izuku wouldn't be wearing pajamas on a date

"Just wear whatever you're comfortable wi- you know what, come here"

Izuku followed Shinsou as Shinsou pulled a plain white shirt and some comfy black shorts out then gave it to Izuku, Izuku looked at him like he's crazy

"Make yourself look effortless, trust me, Shoto will like this"

"But this is so plain, he's probably going to wear something fancy-" Suddenly Izuku can't move

Damn Shinsou and his mind controlling powers

-

Izuku looked at himself in the mirror, the t-shirt Shinsou gave him wasn't baggy, it hugged parts of his body but not enough that it's tight fit, and the shorts were just plain, showing of his legs or whatever, Izuku thinks he looks a tad bit underdressed for a date, Iida put a bow tie on his head thinking that it goes there, Izuku found it cute so he didn't remove it until Shinsou removed it for him

Izuku had now realized one problem

How the hell is he going to meet up with the prince again?

Thankfully the answer was solved, he just had to wait a little while before Shoto started his daily rounds of stalking him, as soon as he found where Shoto was taking residence ( today it was inside a pot ) he tried to  strike up a conversation

For some reason Shoto refused to look at Izuku's direction, Izuku mentally cursed Shinsou for making him underdressed

In reality though Izuku was too busy cursing Shinsou to notice the sputtering prince right infront of him red, Shoto didn't really know how commoners wear clothes but that's too much skin to be showing, also in reality again the only skin showing is Izuku's calves and arms

Love can do wonders to your brain just not in the way you'd prefer

Izuku started dragging them to Shotos room, the only thing is that Izuku didn't know where it was, somehow they ended up in the same bathroom twice, Shoto wanted to help since he actually does know how the castle works but whenever he tries to speak up it's like a large metal rod is up on his throat because Izuku looks at him expecting him to say something like ' I can lead you there instead ', a full frontal close up view of Izuku's face is sadly too much for the bi color haired teen and he ends up sputtering and nodding and letting Izuku continue on leading him

Halfway through Endeavor finally got annoyed because they already passed by him five times, Endeavor was infront of Shoto's room the entire time, so when they passed by again he stopped them

"Shoto's room is here"

"Oh... hey why didn't you tell me Shoto? We passed this place like 5 times already!" Izuku did a little pout, Shoto felt like his whole world is crumbling down, he was disappointed in himself yet he really found Izuku's pout very cute

They peacefully went inside, Shoto wanted to point out the eye sized hole on the wall that his dad probably carved so that he can spy on them, he wanted to say something about it again but Izuku was holding his hand to help improve his calligraphy because obviously letters need to be pretty

"What kind of letters do you want to make though Shoto?"

".. Love letters"

"Oh, well you can start by writing, ' my dearly beloved' " Shoto can imagine Izuku calling him that, that's nice, his face was tinged with red as he wrote that down

"Okay now you just gotta say what you like about that person, like maybe you like how their eyes twinkle or how their hair is fluffy or something"

My dearly beloved

Oh how I love your eyes that can blow up things made of steel and maybe my heart
I also like how you stick rotten bunny ears on your head
Please don't do it too often it's hard to get near
You smell good just no dead ears
You smell a lot like my father, my father smells good, you also smell good I already said that
I like how your body is shaped, it reminds me of my fathers muscle
I'm sorry I don't have any other figure close to me aside from my father
There's my sisters and brothers but I don't like looking at their body, it's weird
I can look at my fathers body because he usually ends up burning his own clothes
How stupid don't tell him I said that I don't like it when he throws fits
It's okay you're not stupid, I'm sure you're a very very special person

Thank you I love you your also dearly beloved
Todoroki Shoto

Shoto handed Izuku the letter, Izuku red the letter and was slightly concerned over how Todoroki wrote it

"Uh.. you're too genuine in this one Shoto"

"In true love you show genuinity"

"Yes but you're too blunt, no one really wants to know that you see your father naked a lot"

"Oh, sorry here let me change it"

I want to see you naked a lot

Todoroki feels proud of himself for being so smooth, Izuku gaped at the paper and and then  Todoroki

Yeah they are probably gonna have lot more of this writing dates

"Todoroki you're still too blunt!"

"I am..?"

Todoroki looked at the paper and wondered what was wrong, after all it is what he wanted after all, he's being really honest isn't that enough? Oh well he took another piece of paper and started writing

My probably special someone that I like a lot

I love how your eyes sometimes shine like stars in the sky I like how it blows stuff up like lasers, I like lasers I like you too
I love how you stick a part of the rotten carcasses of such innocent creatures unto your head, although concerning I find it very cute
I like it so much I can't get near you when you wear them, mostly because it smells unpleasant but also because I find them adorable
You smell a lot like my fatherly figure, he smells quite pleasant I can handle his smell I've been around him for a long time I wish to be around you for a long time too, you smell very pleasant
I apologize that I cannot use any other figures for this, I would refer to you as a princess but the last one that I met tried to steal my clothes and promptly tried to corner me on by own bed, can you believe it? Sorry my father is the only one decent
I would relate you to my brothers and sisters but that'll be weird because I do not what you to remind me of my siblings, that'll be very very unusual
I can relate you to my father because despite a trash can looking better than him, he's somewhat decent
Please do not tell him that I said that, he'll be very mad and will throw a fit
As I said before you're a very special person, you don't deserve to see him throw a fit

That is all my love, from your also love
Todoroki Shouto

"Shoto this letter is longer and isn't that blunt but... maybe you can do it again? Here I'll do one about you, you can try to copy it okay?"

Dear my sweet little prince

I apologize for my bashfulness but I simply cannot take my eyes off from yours, one colored like our beautiful world that I would want to spend with you and one of the sea and skies, it's sad yet calming color soothes me, it's as if the gods have put the oceans into your eyes, every time I meet my eyes with yours I cannot help but feel my heart beat faster, as if wanting to break out of its cage that it's stored within, only you can make me feel this way
I love your white creamy porcelain skin, fitting for one of royalty, I do not care for scars my prince, you're beautiful in every way, I hate how people despise that mark on your face, it is not your fault I wish that they'd see the beauty in them like how I do-
- I'm cutting this off right here this is embarrassing just try to write how I do okay?
        - Izuku  c:

Todoroki would be lying if he said his heart wasn't beating 20 machs per minute now jesus hecking christ he kinda hopes that whatever is written in this letter is true but it's probably not - but Izuku wrote it in here that means he atleast have noticed -

Izuku watched as Shoto light up like fire

Literally

- intermission -

- little Kacchan and Deku's adventure part 2 !!! -

Deku was happily wrapping the baby dragons wings, the dragon was red with black claws with a black spine, the dragon was trying to huddle really near Izuku which made the wrapping harder

Katsuki was watching from from afar, watching how Izuku was being so patient with the dragon, watching no matter how much the dragon whines or accidentally burn Izuku a little more, Izuku was only smiling and petting it before continuing on tending to the dragons injuries

This isn't fair, Izuku got beat up for that dragon and now that stupid piece of crap only hurt him more

After the red dragon almost ripped the bandage of again he finally got tired of watching this crap show and grabbed the bandage off Izuku

"Stupid Deku! You can't even wrap a dragon right! Let me show you how it's done you freaking nerd!"

Izuku happily watched as Katsuki finally managed to finish wrapping the injured wings out, then Katsuki started to tend to Izuku

"T-There's no need to do this k-Kacchan it's m-my fault anyways I-I let him hurt me since I-I d-didn't want to scold him"

"Shut up your mother will get worried if she sees you like this again, this isn't for you stupid Deku"

"S-Sure Kacchan! Thanks though you're the best!"

Katsuki tched and growled at Izuku's happy smile before grinning and pouring alcohol on the wounds causing the green haired child to squeal in pain

"K-Kacchan that hurts! Warn me next time!"

"Whatever you stupid nerd, there better not be a next time or else I'll seriously beat you up!"

"B-But if you beat m-me up then it I-is a next time and it's y-your faul-

"SHUT UP"
