A peaceful settlement rested on the edge of the forest line, a field of flowers on the front side of the small wood cabin. A light breeze rustled the lad's green hair as he stood by the door admiring such a pretty sight. The flowers all blowed in synch like a wave of water, of all colors and sizes. A few garden plots where set in the yard not to far from the house. That being said, the boy needed to get seeds for his garden since winter had past by too quickly. Days where slow and he took his time to cherish his blessed life on this earth he loved, but at the end of each month it felt like nothing had happened. Nothing important to remember to hold close to his heart, there was his mother Inko that he would visit once in a while, but he enjoyed being alone on such a beautiful place of the earth he calls home. He never minded the thought of having a lover by his side, but he never minded being by him self either. He flashed a wide grin across his lips as the suns rising beams started to hit his body, the feeling of warmth was nice. But there was much to attend to, quickly he rushed in the clean yet old cabin searching for what all humans use to buy goods, money. He placed what he needed in a bag before slinging over his broad shoulder, he was a fairly small lad, his green vest over his white shirt with blue jeans and his favorite red boots covered his curvy well preserved body. Taking a step outside once more he clenched his fist into balls, then shook them firmly in front of his chest before taking off on his long walk to town. Izuku Midoriya was the name of this brave kind young soul. The field of flowers seemed endless on the trail, but yet a eye catching forest surrounded it all not to far off. As his stylish boots hit the ground with each step his mind wondered deeper into random thoughts, such as how he needed to buy more bread and olive oil, seeds of course to. He made most of his food from his garden, his poor loved white gloves suffered the dirty job yet he cleaned them often and wore them everywhere. Ah how time went fast, he had arrived at the small calming buildings met with vendors outside. It may have seemed like a short distance but the walk takes around thirty minutes to complete on foot. A smile showed upon his cheeks as he saw a few familiar faces in the road straight ahead.

"Iida, Uraraka! Hey!" His gentle voice called running up to them, more like scooting his feet along in a fast pase. They turned to see the fluffy attituded lad, his glistening emeralds eyes had shown brightly meeting their own orbs inside their heads.

"Hey Izuku! Funny running into you here." She beamed a grin back, her pink witch hat uncovering the shade spread onto her figure.

"Midorya, Glad to see your doing well." Iida greeted happily from behind the short girl, he cared alot for his friends and was always willing to lend a hand when necessary.

"Have you heard? The king's son will be visiting our town tomorrow. Mostly as a inspection of how the people are doing and whats happening. But wouldn't it be grand to meet a prince of such royalty?" She claimed with a sigh of curiosity. What would it be like to meet a real prince? Not like he would get the chance, he had no plans to come back to town tomorrow.

"Well it would be a honor, meeting someone so high up must be fascinating I imagine." Izuku respond, holding his hand to his chin, he also was quite curious.

"I've heard prince Bakugou can have a bad bed side manner, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be treated with the up most respect from our towns people!" Iida gestured, waving his hands about into the air. He was always a good person, especially when it came to rules there was nothing stopping him from abiding them to every random citizen on the street.

"Agreed! But anyways, I have to go buy stuff for my potions and such. Still trying to figure out how to change Hagakure back after the... Accident. See ya!" Uraraka turned to leave with a waving hand. A while ago there was an explosion from one of her newly produced potions that was untested, and just happen to catch Toru in the blast, turning her invisible. Oh how it was a shame, but it was simply seen as trickery from the people of the village.

"Ok, See you around!" Midoriya shouted as his friend skipped along the road, Iida waving his entire arm aggressively back to her.

"Now then, what brings you back to town this early?" Iida questioned, demanding a answer to see if his assistants was needed.

"Oh! I just needed to purchase a few things. Winter passed so quickly, yet I feel like we haven't had enough time to spend together lately. Have any plans?" The lad asked, fiddling his gloved thumbs together just in front of his stomach.

"Ah yes, as a guard of this fine settlement I've been very busy helping the citizens. But I dont see why we cant share some quality time together this evening. Come, let's get what you need." He said in such a calm tone, gesturing his hand towards the vendors with a kind smile. His shiny armor sparkled in the suns bright attacks of sun rays. Izuku nodded hopping to his side, then they continued down the path of the lovely town. The thought of the prince he nor his friends had never seen before seemed to entertain his thoughts, as him and Iida chatted away with words. He wondered what he would look like mostly, probably well groomed and fancy, at least to his imagination.
