I Met Him In The Wastelands | A BakuDeku Story |

Twenty-six | Things Are Making A Turn For The Better

Izuku watched as Katsuki threw guards away from him and Kirishima soon came in and helped Katsuki. Izuku tried to get out of Shoto's grasp but nothing was working, once Katsuki started to get closer Shoto started to walk away with Izuku. "Kacchan!" Izuku yelled as he was being pulled away.

Katsuki growled and ran after them, he made it in time and pulled Izuku away from Shoto. He quickly retreated, Kirishima followed while he made sure no guards were following them. Katsuki suddenly stopped at the door, he turned around to face an angry Shoto at the altar.

"Izu is mine! Instead of forcing myself on him and hurting him, I cared for him and he loves me, not you. So don't try anything anymore, I'm the prince of the dragon kingdom that'll be restored and Izuku Midoriya has chosen me over you!" Katsuki yelled at Shoto who stood angry and shocked.

Izuku smiled as he looked up at Katsuki, Shoto stepped down from the altar. "Izuku may not be mine anymore but I'll find another way to ruin you, don't think for one second that this is over," Shoto said and Katsuki just glared at him.

"Fine by me," Katsuki grunted and turned around then walked out. Izuku and Kirishima quickly followed him, once outside Izuku took off his wig and threw it on the ground. Katsuki chuckled as he watched Izuku try to get out of the dress, Katsuki then walked over and helped him. Once Izuku was out of the dress Kirishima handed him some clothes, which Izuku quickly got into.

Once the greenette wiped the makeup off Kirishima turned into his dragon form, Katsuki and Izuku quickly got on and Kirishima took off toward Sero's place. "I think you'll be surprised once you get to tape face's place, I started on restoring my kingdom," Katsuki said as Izuku looked at him in surprise.

"Really?" Izuku asked in amazement.

"Yep," Katsuki said proudly. Izuku smiled as he got onto Katsuki's lap, the greenette looked up into Katsuki's crimson eyes. The blonde leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on the greenette's lips then pulled away, he blushed once he looked into Izuku's emerald eyes. "I'm glad I have you back," Katsuki held Izuku closer while Kirishima glared at him. "You too, you dumbass!"

Izuku chuckled, "I'm just glad you're alive," Izuku said and snuggled closer to Katsuki. Katsuki looked at him a bit confused, "Shoto said that you were most likely dead, I was devastated when he told me that. I'm so happy that you're okay though!"

"Not quite but I will be," Katsuki said and this made the greenette scared and worried. "Stop worrying, I broke a few ribs but I'll be alright in no time."

Izuku felt a bit relieved but sad that Katsuki risked himself to help him, he was grateful though. The two stayed quiet as they cuddled on Kirishima's back, they were nearing Sero's place. Once the house was in view Izuku's eyes widen, "K-k-k-kacchan!" Izuku tried to speak.

"I know right," Katsuki said as Izuku tried to get a better look.

"There are so many! Are they all dragons?" Izuku asked and looked back at Katsuki.

"Yep, some need medical attention while others are here because they know I'm the dragon prince," Katsuki said as Kirishima landed in a clear spot in the dragon-littered field. Katsuki got off Kirishima and Izuku followed, Kirishima then went back to human form. "Everyone here, you are welcome to head back to your homes if you know where they are. If you want to stay you'll be assisting me in restoring my fallen kingdom!" Katsuki yelled as they all stared at him.

Many of them cheered at the sound of restoring the kingdom while some took off to go home, some went up to Katsuki and started asking questions. Katsuki gave them perfect answers, after a while, many stayed while only a few left. Kirishima ran up to a certain blonde boy and they started to talk which made Katsuki a bit happy.

Katsuki then went inside the house and found no one, he became confused. Izuku who was following was also confused, they then heard a noise coming from upstairs. They both went up and found the light on in Mina's room so they entered, those in the room turned around. "Ah, good you're here. We're trying to help this woman eat," Sero said as he addressed an awake Rei Todoroki.

"That's Rei," Izuku said as he looked at the white-haired woman.

"Yes, apparently king Enji sent her to Momo after he learned she was part dragon. She then held her for a long time that she's pretty much starved. Did you know her before she was sent to Momo?" Katsuki asked as he looked at Izuku.

"Yeah, I knew her for about a year maybe two but then king Enji claimed that she went missing and was never found," Izuku said as everyone in the room went silent. Izuku walked over to the bed and kneeled beside it, everyone watched him. "Hello, Rei. Do you remember who I am?"

Izuku waited for an answer as her grey eyes scanned his face, she slowly nodded. "I'm glad you remember and I'm sorry about what has happened to you. I'll have you know that I left your youngest son meaning that you are safe here, no one wants to hurt you here. So, if you would please take a bite of this bread," Izuku said as he held the bread toward Rei.

Rei stared at Izuku for a moment before she finally took the bread and took a small bite from it. This made Izuku smile and everyone in the room sigh in relief, "Thank you Midoriya for being the caring person you are," Kaminari said and patted Izuku's shoulder.

"Izuku I have some plans I want to go over with you," Katsuki said as he left the room. Izuku knew exactly what he was talking about and quickly followed him, they were starting on the plan of restoring the dragon kingdom. Katsuki wanted Izuku's input and Izuku just wanted Katsuki to be happy.

Bonus!

After Rei took a bite of the bread Mina ran out of the room and out of the house, she then searched for a certain redhead. She soon spotted him talking to a blonde boy, she ran over to him and tackled him. "I missed you so much Eiji!" Mina yelled as she shook the redhead.

"I'm sorry, Mina," Kirishima said as he hugged her. The blonde boy winked at Kirishima and quickly walked away leaving Kirishima with a red face.

"Don't do that ever again," Mina said as the redhead nodded. She then smiled, " I'm glad you're okay though," she then hugged him tighter. She then pulled away and quickly kissed him, Kirishima was in shock before he kissed her back. She then quickly pulled away before she covered her mouth with a noticeable blush on her cheeks. "I didn't mean to do that."

"But I liked it."

"O-oh... well I guess I have to do it again then."
