The Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Princess (Eijiro Kirishima X Reader)

Chapter 8

"Thank heaven, there you are! The king needs you right away in the courtyard! And...he said if you didn't hurry, you'd spend the rest of your lives as houseflies!...or was it... horseflies?" Y/n lied and the guards deceived by Y/n's story and frightened for their well-being, quickly dash off to the courtyard, leaving the door unguarded.

"Tch, baka" Y/n laugh and saw a key that can open the gates "even better" Y/n grabbed the keys and open the door with upon entering the room she finds it entirely empty.

"ARE YOU KIDDIN ME?!" Y/n thinks she got the wrong door but she heard the Nutcracker's voice "Y/n!" Y/n paused and looked back "for crying out loud. What's wrong with the girl?" Major Mint question.

"We can see her... but I don't think that she can see us."

Captain Candy, knocking on the prison wall "also guessing that she can't hear us" 

It's revealed that the Nutcracker, Major Mint and Captain Candy are trapped within an invisible prison "what on earth would the Mouse King post guards on an empty room?"

Y/n reaches a hand out and steps forward, only for her hand to make contact with the invisible prison even as her hand in the same place as the Nutcracker's on the other side of the glass. The Nutcracker smiles up close and Y/n turns around and grabs an unlit torch from a nearby sconce "stay back guys!" She warned them "SHINE!" Thanks to Bakugo, she used it to shatter the magical cell revealing the prisoners.

"Nutcracker" Y/n rushes to hug the Nutcracker, only for the two to quickly step away from each other bashfully "I mean I did a good job" Y/n dust herself when Major Mint folds his arms impatiently and Captain Candy covers his eyes.

"We've got to get out of here. The Mouse King is building a bonfire!" Y/n explained and the Nutcracker sigh "subarashii, I doubt it's to warm up the palace..."

The men follow Y/n out of the dungeon but back to the Mouse King in the courtyard is now filled with all the kingdom's citizens.

Y/n, the Nutcracker, the Major and the Captain are seen watching from the balcony above "Sugar Plum Princess or no Sugar Plum Princess, that rat's has got to be stopped!" The Nutcracker leap onto the ledge, in clear view of the Mouse King "is this any way to run a kingdom, you inconsiderate mouse?!"

The Mouse King turn to look at him "sate sate, you're just in time for your party!" He points his scepter at the bonfire setting it ablaze and the Nutcracker leaps from the ledge, two of the Mouse King's guards breaking his fall.

He takes one of their swords and points it at the mouse "you know that there's a manly way to be more to being a king than having a crown!" But the Mouse King started laughing "who died and made you the expert of royalty?"

"You know that if you replace the R with L you get loyalty never an evil king who isn't fit and never gain their loyalty until you've earned their respect!"

The Mouse King scoff at his words "I never wanted them, I don't need loyalty, I only wanted for what is mine" He rounds on the peasants, brandishing his scepter "beside, those peasants who do challenge me, living statuary be!"

Magic explodes from the crown of his scepter, striking the peasants one by one turning them to stone, horrified by this act, the Nutcracker engages the Mouse King,

The two duel for a moment, and the Nutcracker pushes the mouse back until he falls into a nearby wagon "such a scrappy little nutcracker! I'm afraid I underestimated you! With the brawn of twenty and six, I'll smite my enemy into sticks!"

The Mouse King's spell envelops him, causing him to grow in size and roars as he reaches his full height, swinging his scepter madly at the Nutcracker beating the Nutcracker savagely until he smashes into the side of the bonfire, sinking to the ground.

Y/n gasp and ran to him for support "Nutcracker!" And the mouse king looms over them "I'll give you a choice, nutcracker... dismemberment, or barbecue?" He asked but Y/n stood up "No! No answer for that!" She yelled "you are nothing but a coward, because you have a scepter for your own support!"

The Mouse King, angrily yelled at her "I obviously didn't shrink you small enough, your mouth is still much too big!...but that is about to change." Y/n just growl at the Mouse king but the Mouse King as he raises his scepter over his head, right behind her, the Nutcracker wearily grabs the sword lying beside him.

"To the one who vexes me, smaller, smaller you will be!" But the Nutcracker throws his sword up between the Mouse and Y/n, reflecting the spell back at it's caster.

The impact sends the nutcracker to the ground as spell hits the Mouse King, causing his scepter to vanish as he begins to shrink "no! Noooo!"

The crown the Mouse King wore clatters to the ground around him, as he is now the size of a normal mouse and forever terrified for he squeaks and scurries away, jumping through a sewer grate.

Major Mint appears along with Captain Candy, the former smiling defiantly down at the grate "hahahahaha! Back to where he belongs: the sewer!"

To Y/n, she cradled the head of the nutcracker somberly when he has scuffs and his paint is chipping in places, his eyes barely open "my poor little nutcracker" she cried "I'm fine Y/n, I'm just...wood, remember?" The nutcracker used his thumb to wipe the tears "your wrong, you and I know that you're much more than that..."

Y/n hesitated at first but closed her eyes for she leans down and kisses him on the lip "Prince Eijiro Kirishima" and just like magic, the Nutcracker suddenly becomes aglow with magic, which engulfs him when the twinkling light disappears he is no longer a wooden toy, but a young man with red hair for he smiles at Y/n.

"It's Prince Eric!" Major Mint smiled with glee even Major Mint "the Prince" but realization of his actions hits him. "Oh sugar honey ice tea!!"

Y/n helps Kirishima to his feet and when they both stand, Y/n begins to shimmer with pink light unknown what happen to her and swirls around her, changing her pyjamas to a bell tutu, hair being tired up and places a golden tiara upon her head.

"This remind me of...." Y/n looks at her ensemble, surprised "I can't believe it, the princess has been with us all along!" Kirishima said, again leaving Y/n to be surprised "how can this be?" She questioned "Y/n, you are the Sugar Plum Princess! And it all makes sense! You saved me from the Mouse King in your parlor, you rescued us from his dungeon, your bravery led to his defeat and... your kiss has broken his spell. You are the Sugar Plum Princess!"

Captain Candy even pointed the whole place "look..." all the castle darkened walls faded away to reveal bright colour of Y/n fitting, the villagers are all freed from their stone prison, the bonfire melts away to reveal a large fountain and the overcast sky turns blue.

"I have broken all of the Mouse King's wicked evil enchantments and now you're free to take your rightful place as king" Y/n said to him as Kirishima chuckled "well, that for the people to decide."

"Three cheers for the manly prince, Prince Eijiro Kirishima!
