Under The Old Willow Tree Is Where I Found My Love {Bnha OC Insert}

I Don't Want Him To Reject Me

The birds chirped, as the sun shone down on a fountain, it sparkled as the water squirted from it. Sat upon its edges two opposites, a woman dressed in full white with beautiful long frizzy white hair, and a man dressed in all black with short almost choppy black hair. The woman chuckled softly "What is it?" he muttered moving his gaze up to meet the girl "I was trying to imagine on my way down here what you'd look like with a small teacup" she smiled, the man looked down at his cup and placed it on the saucer "Oh, I'm sorry King Dabi! I wasn't poking fun" He huffed "Now you're just confusing me" He moved his gaze to hers "You invite me out for tea, then tell me it doesn't suit me"

"N-no, you look fine drinking tea" The man smiled slightly

"Now, I was poking fun" Hayami, stared down at his smile. It was entrancing.

"Your smile is beautiful" she whispered, and he chuckled softly, snapping her out of her trance "I would say yours is too, but" His head tilted as his cool blue gaze stared at her veil. The girls gaze moved down shyly, "I can turn away" she looked up at him, his gaze wasn't on her, but her full teacup. "You can't drink your tea with that on" he moved so that his back was facing, "I won't turn around"

Why are you being so kind to me, this marriage is all fake

Hayami's hand moved to pick up her tea, bringing to her she lifted her veil, and took a sip from it. The fruit tea filled her mouth, and the heat warmed her heart, well more than it was already. "Is there anything you want to do here? You are staying for a week" He didn't react to her voice, and she took another sip of her tea "Visiting the town could be nice, I heard it's lively" Hayami nodded placing down her cup "It is, you should see when we have a festival on, we all celebrate and it's such an amazing atmosphere"

"Ok then" Hayami stopped

"W-what"

"I'll come down for a festival, you'll have to tell me when one is though" Hayami nodded, as if he could see her. Hayami lifted her cup to her lips, when suddenly a voice "King Dabi?" a loud crash of China sounded as Hayami quickly scrambled to pull her veil down, Dabi quickly turned, reached for the cup. Hayami gasped and covered her face. "Did any get on you?" He questioned, Hayami moved her hands to look down at her dress, some drops slowly fell on her dress, but they came from Dabi's hand. He caught the cup and it had spilt on him instead "Your Highness!" She called grabbing his hand "Did you burn yourself! You don't need to do hurt yourself for me" Her eyes moved up to his face. His were closed. His eyes were closed! Hayami's heart fluttered at that simple gesture "It was my advisor who startled you, so it's my fault" he paused "Is your veil down?"

"Oh!" She gasped quickly pulling it over her face "T-thank you" She muttered, his eyes slowly opened, he sighed looking away. "King!" The advisor called, quickly jogging to the king "Shoto you own lack caution" he grumbled "Startling the princess, she almost burnt herself" Shoto looked towards the woman sat next to him, bowing "I'm sorry your highness, but King Dabi has urgent issues to attend to" Hayami's eyes were curious until she nodded.

"No of course, I'd be selfish to take up all of his time" Hayami turned his gaze to Dabi, who was studying his advisors face "I showed you most the palace anyway" he moved his gaze towards the woman. "Can we go to town tomorrow together?" The woman gasped softly and then nodded. Standing up "Then I thank you for your time your highness" He bowed "I'll see you tomorrow" Hayami waved as he left, suddenly two maids bombarded her "That's him!" They squealed, suddenly straightening themselves when the pair looked back at the sudden noise and hugging her when they turned away. "He's really grown into his looks" Rika noted "And look at that body, oh Hayami you'd be a fool to say no to that"

"You're wearing your veil" Tira muttered, lifting it up "See much better" she smiled, and Rika turned to look at her, nodding to agree. "Isn't he going to be your husband, what is there to hide?" Rika questioned moving to sit next to her, Hayami's hands curled into fists "I don't want him to reject me, because it'll hurt more"

"I think if he saw your face, he'd not be able to resist you" Tira smiled placing her head upon her shoulder.

Meanwhile in the castle Dabi's gaze was out the window as his brother explained "are you listening" Dabi didn't look back he muttered softly

"She's very close with her maids, maybe they're like us, maybe they're her sisters" Shoto looked at the girls laughing and joking "Or their women bonding, come on Dabi this is serious" the door closed to his room. He moved to sit on the chair in his room "I can't even escape him here?" Shoto shook his head

"It's him, its father" a sigh fell from the man's lips, suddenly a knocking sounded from the door. Shoto moved to answer the door "Your highness, I wanted to introduce myself" Rize bowed, and was welcomed in. "I'm the head maid of this castle, as you know the king isn't here, but I am also his advisor so if you need any messages sent to him, I'd be happy to comply" Dabi sighed

"Rize, why are you acting so?" he muttered, and she sighed, Shoto shot a glare to his brother "Because I didn't know you'd bring your brother" Shoto's gaze then moved back to the woman in surprise "You- know about me!"

"Shoto Todoroki, I looked after you when your family visited here" She muttered, and then grabbed his cheek "Although you were just a small wittle boy, you've grown so big" He moaned and pulled himself away from her touch. "If you need anything, don't be shy to ring me" she smiled and bowed "Oh and Touya" he looked up at the woman "If you break her heart, make her cry, or anything negative" Rize's smile contrasted the fiery passion in her eyes "Your kingdom will be looking for a new king, pretty quickly"

"You speak of Regicide in front of the king so cooly!" Rize looked up at the two-toned haired boy, and just laughed "King Dabi, would you meet Princess Hayami at the gates tomorrow in the afternoon for your trip into town" he nodded his head and she moved to leave. "What the hell is going on here!" Shoto called "You already knew Hayami" Touya nodded his head

"Seems as though she doesn't remember me" He looked out the window as he reminisced back on those memories.

"Tira I don't think this glass thing is working" A white haired girl whispered, her hair was tucked away in tight plaits, her friend was stood next to her, her brown hair swept up in a ponytail "Let me try!" she whispered.

"Uh guys" A small ginger girl whispered, playing with her hair that was down, falling down her back. The girls all turned, staring at the kid stood behind them "W-who are you" The brown-haired girl questioned, stepping towards him placing her hands on her hips "Only palace staff are allowed here, so go away!" She whispered in a hushed voice. "But my father's in their"

"Look at the scratch on his face, Hayami" The white-haired girl moved her gaze, her red eyes seemed to shine as they met the boys. Suddenly she ran towards him, her finger ran across his healing wound "You must've fought a monster!" she whispered. He didn't respond but his cheeks flushed "I-it's not unsettling?" He stuttered and the girl smiled, it was a smile missing a tooth "Nope, I'm a painting that the artist gave up on, so there's nothing that scares me!"

"Girls!" A voice called

"Rize, incoming!" One girl called

"Quick come with us!" Hayami grabbed the boy's hand and began to run with him. The door opened and Rize's gaze landed on the children running down the corridor, she smiled to herself.

That day you were so proud of your beauty, but you've grown to hide it from the world, even though you were the one who gave me my confidence.
