Noble and Pride [Katsuki Bakugo x Shoto Todoroki]

Chapter 22 : Yamari

"Kacchan! I miss you-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET OFF ME NERD!"

While the profuse swearing and yelling session continued in the background, with the greenette hugging the life out of Katsuki while Ochako busted out laughing watching the two, Sero was still trying to comprehend what he just heard. Shoto took off the wig and his makeup, revealed he was a male and the fourth prince of Doryoku.

"That's a lot to process, miss- I mean, man," Sero nervously chuckled. "Being close to a human, royalty is one thing...but the prince from Doryoku? Kinda not make sense to me but I guess you all have your reason yeah?" he hummed, smiling. "It's all fine dude. If Bakugo acknowledges you then we dumbasses should trust you too. You don't seem like the type to do such horrendous things like your father.

Well, Your Highness..?"

"Shoto is fine. Calling me Todoroki would reveal my real identity, so it's fine to call me Shoto. No need for the honorifics," Shoto reassured, turned his gaze to a brunette who approached him with a soft smile. "I'm Ochako Uraraka, a witch and a Beta. Bakugo said the two of you want to talk about an important matter with me,"

A slow nod and Katsuki who had his hand pushing Izuku's face away glanced over them. Izuku went over and bowed once. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Prince Shoto. I'm Ochako's mate, Izuku Midoriya, and a Beta as well. We'll do as best as we can to assist you!" he beamed.

Shoto's expression softened. He was truly grateful to meet such nice people supporting him. Who would've thought a huge ass jerk like Katsuki to be surrounded by these sweethearts? Well, Katsuki wasn't a jerk anymore after getting to know him well.

"Likewise, Midoriya. I heard you're Bakugo's family,"

Katsuki snapped. "What the- no?!"

Izuku chuckled. "Yes yes, Kacchan is my precious family, even though he doesn't want to admit it," he whispered and Katsuki snarled. "Shut the fuck up! Keep on dreaming, Deku,"

"You two have nicknames for each other. That proved otherwise," Shoto shrugged and Katsuki scowled more, which made the greenette squeaked and hide behind the omega prince. "You're quite fearless for someone who just recently know the all-mighty dragon king..." Izuku nervously grinned.

"Anyhow, Prince Shoto," Ochako cleared her throat slightly. She could actually sense the rather strong unpleasant aura from Shoto and it made her a bit at unease. "Let's go to my spell room to discuss your matter,"

"I'm going too," Katsuki declared and the brunette nodded. Upon entering, the two males sat on the chair and Ochako looked through her shelves, picked out a black spellbook that's a bit dusty.

"I haven't deal with curses for quite a while," she admitted. "But the demon inside you...is too strong to go unnoticed by a witch like me. What would you like me to do?"

"Identify it," Katsuki uttered."Identify what class of demon was residing inside him,"

"I want to seek a way to free myself from it. I couldn't remember how it got in me, the memories of it as if erased from my mind," Shoto murmured. "Recently, it has been awakened and I afraid I might harm anyone. It was predictable before but now, it might come out whenever it wants," he confessed his fear. 

She frowned and looked a bit nervous. "Well..there's only one way. We have to summon it,"

"Fuck, you're saying we have to lure it out?" Katsuki grimaced.

"Yes. I have to meet it myself to identify it. Were you there once when Shoto was possessed?"

Katsuki crossed his arms, leaned back on the chair. "Once. It seemed to take a liking on me, as much to my disgust,"
