The royal twins

42

After breakfast, I sat in my throne until lunch. I haven't talked to Kiri since this morning. I sighed and slouched in my throne once the last person left.

"Tired?" Shoto said.

"Nah. I'm good," I said with a small smile.

"How are things with Kiri? Is he adjusting well?"

"Not sure," I said with a sigh. "We have no idea what he's been through, it may take a while for him to settle down."

"You are right," he said. "It's about lunch time. Why don't we go to the dining room today?"

"Yeah." I turned and looked at the guards. "We'll be back later."

......

Everyone was already gathered when we arrived.

"I helped too," Eri beamed. "I found you! Then, Natsuo and everyone else brought you back. You were supposed to be a surprise for (n/n) to make her happy!"

"Thank you," Kiri said as he ruffled Eri's hair.

"So, Kirishima," Shinso said. "I heard that ____ stayed in your room last night."

"Why don't you mind your own damn business," I said.

"Speak of the devil," Shinso said. "How are you your majesties?"

"Fine," Shoto said. We both sat at the table. "What is for lunch?"

Katsuki shrugged. "Dunno. We all kinda just gathered here."

"I was thinking," I said. "Why don't we have a ball?"

"A ball?" Eri said.

"Oh yeah, you haven't been to one yet, Eri," Shoto said. "What's the occasion?"

"Just because," I said with a shrug. "Shinso and Keigo haven't been to one either. I was thinking about having it this weekend."

"Sounds fun." Kirishima said. "Reminds me of the first time I met you guys."

"You met at a ball?" Shinso said. "Aren't you village people, not royalty."

"It was a ball father threw for us to announce we will be king and queen," Shoto said. "Our coronation would've happened sooner if we didn't go on that journey."

I nodded. "We invited everyone that was able to come," I said. "Everyone from everywhere, so people in the villages were able to come too. That's when we met Kirishima, Katsuki, Ochako, and Izuku."

"Oh wow. I thought you just picked them up off the street."

Shoto chuckled. "We technically did, just knew them before hand."

"It seems like just yesterday, I saw Kiri's dragon form. It's very beautiful," I said with a small smile.

"You saw it?! Lucky," Shinso said. "He never showed me."

"It wasn't planned," Kirishima said. "She just walked up to me when I was hunting. It was," he paused for a moment. "Weird."

"You're weird," I said with an eye roll.

"Are you gonna get dates to the ball?" Eri said. "I read that in a book!"

"Good question, Eri," Shinso said. "I think ____ and Kirishima should go together."

I completely ignored him and looked at Shoto. "What color are we wearing?"

"I was thinking red or blue."

"We always wear red or blue," I said with a chuckle. "But red, we wore blue the last ball."

"I asked a question," Shinso said with an eye roll.
