Todoroki's pov
A year ago today was when we met. It was destiny for us to be together. Father was the reason we even met in the first place. Never thought I'd be thankful for any action he'd do.
"Icy-hot your spacing out again." Katsuki said
"Was just thinking about today is our anniversary for meeting each other." I smiled
"Means in about a month will be our first year dating." He replied
"Still odd to think I was able to win you over." I laughed
"You make it sound like I wasn't the one who asked you out." He rolled his eyes
"Prince Todoroki, your father wants to speak to you." A knight walked outside and told me
"Oh thank you, I'll see you later Katsuki!" I walked inside the castle
I remember when I was younger walking through all these halls got confusing. The ceiling seemed high up and walls all looked the same. But now that I'm older there's always different worry's than being lost.
I knocked on the door waiting for an answer. My father hasn't left the throne room for a few days, he only leaves for sleep.
"Come in!" Father announced
I pushed the big doors open. The room has always been decorated with gold and red. Windows have always brought way too much light inside so it almost blinds you when you walk inside.
"You needed me father?" I asked and walked towards him
"Shoto I must tell you something. I will be getting killed tomorrow which will make you king." He declared
"I'm not ready for this."
"You've been trained your whole life! Trust me if I was able to stay alive I would but it's part of my agreement with another nation. If they weren't allowed to kill me it would cause chaos. If they start war I believe you'll lead us to victory." He explained
"Father I refuse-" I was cut off
"You're making a mistake Shoto! If you don't take the throne our kingdom will fall." He gritted his teeth
"Then I have no choice..."

"Aren't you glad your dad's dying?" Katsuki asked
"I won't be a good ruler." I replied
We both stood in the crowd of people waiting to watch Endeavor die. Over the years many people have grown to hate him. I can't blame them.
"On our agreement, King Endeavor will die for your kingdom to gain peace!" Our allies announced
In one swift motion King Endeavors crown had fell along with his head. I felt so much weight lift off my shoulders, but get replaced by new worries.
"You're going pale." Katsuki looked at me
"Am I not always pale?" I laughed trying to make a joke but felt the panic setting in
"Let's go." He grabbed my hand
We went back to the castle. Pictures decorated the halls of my father, he was always self-absorbed. Looking around I now really saw how it was decorated for him. Before I thought it was normal.
"We've made a new crown for you. Didn't think you'd want your father's. We will bring it to your room later." A maid passed by
"Thank you." I replied
"Does it feel like you're more free?" Katsuki asked
"Free from his hold, but still bound to this kingdom. Who knows how many years I'll be sitting on the throne. Everytime I sit on that throne I'll be reminded of my responsibilities. So I'm not really free." I walked away from Katsuki
"Wait!" He caught up to me
"What now Katsuki?"
"Doesn't this mean you'll have to get married soon?" He asked
"I never thought of that." I looked at the ground
"Decide the day we should get married it's up to you." He smirked at me

3 months after marriage
"I want-" I was cut off
"Why do you always decide!?" Katsuki yelled
"I just wanted to give my opinion."
"When you give your opinion it always wins! Because you can't help other then thinking of yourself!" He crossed his arms
"I'm not like my father." I replied
"What if you're becoming like him?"
"I would never become like him! You don't understand how I absolutely hate myself for even being related to him! Don't ask my opinion if you're going to act like this." I left the room
Ever since we've gotten married he's acted like this. Making me feel worse about myself. Everyday is getting worse.
It's like my father's and mother's relationship all over again. But this time won't end like them. I'm not going to be the weakling, I won't give up until I gain what should be mine. The throne.

Sometimes I can almost see the sun, almost feel it. It sparks hope in me, maybe there's a chance to escape. Then I remember no matter how much hope burns through me within me it'll be of no use if I'm chained to the wall.
Because really we're all in a room. Alone, stealing looks at the sun. Wondering if we'll escape.
We think with just enough hope we can do anything. Maybe we can but then again some chains were never meant to be broke.
