Loveless Marriage

Chapter 4

Izuku started getting lessons from the prince and ended up spending a lot of time with him, more than he had in mind or had even imagined.

Izuku was even starting to question many things. For starters the man was intimidating but when they ate breakfast the man would feed Izuku gently aside how he would talk aggressively, yell or stab the food making Izuku fear for the plates well being as well as himself.

And when the two would walk around the castle the prince always had his hand on Izuku while a bodyguard named Kirishima Ejiro followed the two, he seemed to make comments that made a reaction from the prince. And Awizawa refused to translate, confusing him, And lessons were no better.

The alpha would get touchy and the first lesson had izuku very flustered. But he slowly began to get used to his antics..a little.. and one day Bakugou had wanted to learn more of izuku's language one lesson when Izuku was getting frustrated with some words which had Izuku asking Aizawa what Bakugou had known so far.

"He has learned the basics." Before turning to the prince to tell him something.

The prince turned to izuku to say: "Good morning deku, How are you deku, Deku, my love." Before smiling proudly making Izuku flush.

"Wow that's great!" Izuku said really impressed but still saw more work needed on the guy's thick accent. " I do not know much about your language, what's a Deku?"

Izuku asked which the butler replied. "It is the masters nickname for you."

Izuku figured that was okay. But that was not the problem...the problem was right after he had felt the alphas hand wander in his curls making him tense thinking the alpha was going to crush his skull, only no it was just him touching running his fingers through Izuku's curls.

Izuku flushed as the only gentle touch he had similarly was his dad back when he was 6 years old with his older brother when he complimented Izuku or teased him.

Awizawa said something and the prince said something back releasing his hold on Izuku's head. Izuku snapped out of it quickly though.

"W-well we can start by having him follow along with me reading a few books?" Izuku said a bit shaken up and presented a child's book.

The prince huffed and growled something making the butler sigh.

"The prince does...not feel like he should be tought by....a childs book and should be challenged more." The butler sighed as the prince crossed his arms looking down at Izuku's book like it was an insult.

"W-well there is a lot of characters to understand and different wordings and pronunciations, this book may seem childish but it is very helpful to those with speech impediments or writing help." Izuku explained under the alphas gaze.

Awizawa explained to the prince who seemed conflicted and angry but sooned accepted and leaned into Izuku's personal space and thus began learning. Izuku would show an example by writing things like pronunciations of his speaking of perhaps the word apple and the prince would attempt to do the same.

And Izuku as very impressed the prince was a quick learner unlike Izuku who could not grasp Bakugou's language. It was hard to pronounce and Izuku had a hard time rolling r's the way the man did and writing how to pronounce was easy but hard to remember what it ment as some things had multiple meanings.

And it was hard to focus when the prince was shirtless revealing his bare chest making the omega drool mentally while he kept reminding himself this guy was said to be very very dangerous.

Still, izuku some how felt more comfortable with the man. He never did any sort of harm to him or anybody as far as he could tell. If anything he was reminding of a puppy...or cat...

Always at izukus side rubbing his hand on izuku's and giving him gifts which consisted of journals to write in and lovely traditional wear from Bakugous kingdom not making him stand out as much.

And his voice was soft, sure brash, but never as angry or loud at Kirishima or others INCLUDING HIS OWN MOTHER

Speaking of the princes mother she was always smiling or holding back a laugh when the two were around her.

Once when he was alone with her Kacchan popped in unannounced and izuku greeted him but the prince looked annoyed for some reason...he always was when Izuku greeted him and izuku never understood why.

Until the queen (of course aizawa translated) explained that Bakugou wanted Izuku to speak more familiar to him like by his first name.

Izuku flushed but understood so he from then on spoke by the prince's name Kacchan. It was a cute name for a prince. Izuku felt like it was wrong like he could be misprounouncing it....somehow? but the prince was happy. Saying it himself thanks to the lessons.

Izuku knew a few things from bakugous language: hello how are you, goodbye, where is the restroom, how are you, and the basics.....but nothing to exactly hold the conversation for too long.

The prince was happy to speak to izuku however and izuku was happy too. Talking about books were fun and reading was fun too. And soon the butler was no longer there before Izuku knew it not needing to translate for them since they understood teacher much better then a week pior.

So much so izuku started forgetting about the situation at times. When he remembered dread filled him.

He could not fully accept it as on one hand it could be a lie, too good to be true, or some sick prank on him.

While on the other it could...just perhaps be true.

That the man was deeply in love with him, that they were hopefully on the same grounding.

But that could be just wishful thinking.

Izuku sighed as he sat in the liberty board. Kacchan was looking out the window, he was doing some paperwork and Izuku was reading across from him. The prince turned to him with a signature scowl.

"What's your problem?" He said a bit louder than normal.

He spoke more brute but Izuku was happy all the same that they could talk in the middle.

"Nothing I'm just wondering what you do for fun? It might be boring sitting here in the library most of the time. I want to try something like his high- Kacchan! Something Kacchan injoys!" Izuku nervously said flustered and worried if the prince would be annoyed with him. He had wanted to say it in Kanchans language but he did not want to risk offending him in any way....

Just because he was not scary or threatening now did not mean he could be in the future.

Kacchan huffed and looked deep in thought before he stood up and began dragging Izuku through the castle. He was very strong so Izuku felt like a feather in the wind.

Izuku was used to it, however, the prince was probably impatient with Izuku following him behind due to him being a short so he did this to probably speed up things. Kacchan was faster and stronger than Izuku in many ways.

Izuku was pretty sure he was better than Shindo! Izuku was pleased with that. He did not even find himself feeling jealous about that with Kacchan. It was making Izuku feel things in his heart when he saw the shirtless man lift something heavy or walk up to Izuku sweaty, running a hand through his spiky hair.

Izuku was then plopped down to see a familiar creature. "Hello Kingy!!" izuku's aid petting the dragon's snout. The dragon huffed happily, making Izuku giggle.

Izuku kept forgetting the name and chose a nickname for him. Kacchan did not like the attention Kingy got from Izuku. It could be that Kacchan loves his dragon's attention and hates Izuku for hugging or cuddling the dragon too much.

"I like riding...we ride. I can show you the city," Kacchan huffed before telling the dragon something. Izuku could not help but gulp but his curiosity took over so he walked over to get on the saddle, only to have two big hands to his hips hoisting him up only to plop down to be in the embrace of Kacchans strong chest and arms.

It was warm, and Izuku did not know if he was hearing his own heart beat or Kacchans, and Kacchans scent was...addictive, like s'mores or burning camp wood. Izuku flushed and with a deep breath before he knew they were flying off.
