Noble and Pride [Katsuki Bakugo x Shoto Todoroki]

Chapter 30 : Yamari

"You took too long, half and half. Couldn't find the shit you want?"

Shoto responded with a small shake of his head. His meeting and talk with Inasa still roamed in his mind. Katsuki has to be the first one to know about this force allying. Shoto disliked being lied to, he can't possibly lie again to Katsuki. Not after so many lies, he had given and Katsuki forgave him for everything. No one would ever believe him but the true angel was Katsuki.

Shoto was just...nothing. 

That was what he would call himself before Katsuki appeared in his life.

The ash-blond snapped his fingers in front of the gazing-off prince to steal his attention. "Something happened? I swear to Satan if it's another fucking alpha messing with you-"

Once again Katsuki had a spot on. Well, it wasn't particularly 'messing with him' but still.

"There's someone I want you to meet," Shoto murmured almost quietly. Regardless, still loud enough for the explosive alpha to hear.

Katsuki gave a rose of his eyebrow. Shoto said he knew no one in Yamari. This was the very first time he stepped foot in this kingdom, so it couldn't be someone close to him? Unless...?

"Why should I meet this particular person? Are they important?" Katsuki inquired.

"Quite so. But he's not dangerous. Not for now," Shoto reassured.

Earlier.

"I'm not traveling by own. You do know that. So whatever you plan to do that involves me you'll need to talk with him. Katsuki Bakugo. His identity will shock you,"

Inasa blinked. He looked at the smaller prince with a stare of confusion. "He's royalty too? Is he from any kingdom I know?"

"You'll see for yourself," Shoto hummed and looked to the different path. The only path he could take earlier if he wanted to escape from Inasa. "So you really, don't have any knights with you?"

"I can guarantee you that. When I saw you were chasing down a thief, I thought you were an ordinary omega that needed help. But after I watched your fighting style, I knew it looked familiar. We trained often in the past," Inasa huffed with a toothy grin.

"Our training was swording, though. I never knew you're this observant," Shoto snorted.

Only if it's you. The alpha prince said to himself in his mind proudly.

"Do they even know you're here?"

"They don't. I gave them a break and no one knew I was defying King Enji's order. You know the saying, if you want to deceive your enemy you have to trick your teammates?" Inasa chuckled.

"What an asshole," Shoto shook his head and Inasa laughed.

"How does your remedy journey goes?" Inasa asked curiously. Shoto tilted his head to the male once and looked forward. Expression was as stoic as before. "It needs a lot more touches and experiments. I have a wizard to assist me in the meantime. I found myself a lot of unique floral specimens for it,"

There was something else Inasa wanted to ask. Especially the alpha that had his scent lingering around Shoto. However, he assumed it could be not the right time yet. He'll just see with his own eyes how does Shoto sees Katsuki Bakugo.

═.✵.════

Oh. So it's this dude.

The omega prince told Katsuki to meet this person without Shoto's company first at a small stall since he will be joining them soon. A chance for Katsuki to get to know Inasa first, Shoto said. Shoto expected Katsuki to have a nice friendly chit-chat with Inasa? Inasa is an outgoing guy, Shoto said.
