[LONG CHAPTER]

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean? You started it!"

Izuku stirred, eyes slowly flickering open to the sounds.

"Tch, as if. Just do me a favour, hah, and piss off?"

"Sir!"

"Don't fuckin' ,'sir', me, you're the one who did it!"

Izuku struggled to pull himself up from the bed, shivering at the coldness that layed outside the blankets.

"What's going on..?"

"See what you've done?!"

Izuku frowned at the yelling and the brash voice of the King, but pulled himself out of his makeshift bed nonetheless. He stood, tall and still tired, hair a mess and drool half down his chin.

"Why are you yelling?"

Katsuki glared at Izuku, and then back to the other.

A tall man stood, red spiky hair and sharp teeth in a bright smile, his hands open and friendly.

"I've been waiting to meet you!"

Katsuki huffed and stormed out of the room, and slammed the door behind him.

"Oh-"

"Ignore him." The man playfully trudged over to Izuku and clasped his hand in his own, "My name is Eijirou Kirishima, but you can call me Shima, or Kiri, depends which you're comfy with!"

Izuku blinked out some remaining sleep from his eyes and smiled, "I'm Izuku Midoriya, it's nice.." A yawn - "to meet you."

"I've heard some pretty neat things about you, Midoriya." Eijirou smiled, letting go of Izuku's hand. He brushed back, resting his hands on his hips as he looked at Izuku with a smile. "The king seems pretty intrigued by you."

"If only he was intrigued with the idea of letting me go home." Izuku frowned, biting his lip.

"Hasn't he talked to you about letting you see your family?"

Izuku shook his head.

"Nothing. I'm not allowed to even leave this room without some sort of supervision."

Eijirou scrunched up his face, obviously annoyed. "I'll talk to him about it."

"Please don't, he wont-"

"He'll listen to me, trust me." Eijirou offered a friendly smile to Izuku and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "Ill go talk to him, yea?"

Izuku nodded, "Can I come with?"

The red head nodded.

"Must be boring in here, huh?"

Izuku faked a laugh, "You can imagine."

The taller lead the other outside of the room, they chatted all the way as they went. Izuku chatted to Eijirou about his home life, how he grew up, all the special places he was taken to as a kid and all the movies he used to watch when he was young. In turn, Eijirou talked Izuku's ear off about his own family, saying how he was mated, how he was expecting with his beloved and how she also works in the castle. He mentioned the name, 'Mina' and Izuku was sure he heard the name before but couldn't place exactly where.

Soon, they found themselves in the garden, Eijirou was sat on the fountains edge and Izuku was on an oak bench surrounded by bright, red roses and thorns. The fountains water was clear, and reflected the sun's rays, causing Izuku to sweat profusely.
