Since that day, you found yourself escaping to the meadow hoping to come across Katsuki again. Each time you were met with disappointment. You didn't know why you hadn't given up hope yet or why you were even looking forward to seeing the gruff man again.

You had once again managed to evade the two knights father had sent to accompany you, claiming to have to use the ladies room. You cautiously looked back and determined that you were finally alone, you broke into a sprint into the surrounding woods.

Now navigating through the forest as if it was a second home, you passed the clearing and found yourself knee deep in wildflowers. Making sure to not unnecessarily trample any, you stepped around until you noticed a figure slumped against the thick trunk of a willow tree.

Cautiously approaching you could make out the familiar spiky blonde hair poking out. Katsuki's eyes were closed and his chest rose and fell with every breath. You kneeled next to him, finding him deep in sleep. While asleep, his face was relaxed and without his usual scowl, you admired how beautiful he was. His facial features were so much more delicate than you would expect with his harsh demeanor and you found yourself subconsciously lightly tracing his features with your finger.

A strand of pale blonde hair fell into Katsuki's face and you brushed it away, surprised at how soft the golden strands were.

As you pulled your hand away, Katsuki's hand suddenly wrapped around your wrist. You tried to wiggle out from his grasp but his hold was too strong.

He single handedly pulled your wrist towards his chest, the force causing your entire body to fall on top of him.

Katsuki's long blonde lashes gently fluttered awake. He appeared to still be half asleep, his lidded eyes determining who had disturbed him. Your voice hitched in your throat, concerned he would attack what he thought to be an assailant while he was asleep.

Katsuki's lids were heavy, his eyes were beginning to droop again and he smiled dreamily at seeing your face.

"Angel", he mumbled, voice still hoarse from sleep.

Before you could process what was happening, Katsuki's eyes shut and he tightly wrapped both of his arms around your waist, tightly pressing your body further into his.

You tried to lie as still as possible, his death grip around your waist making it impossible to escape without potentially waking him up again and incurring his wrath. Your heart was wildly beating in your chest, so loudly, you wondered how Katsuki could fall back asleep. He tossed and turned in his slumber, the arms that wrapped around you loosened, and his hands went to unconsciously grab your thigh at the shift in position.

Heat rose to your face, from both the compromising position you were in and the warmth radiating off of Katsuki's body. Growing up in the castle, you hadn't had much physical contact with others, especially with strange and dangerous men like the one you were with now. Shyly burying your face into Katsuki's chest, his soft snores and the stable beats of his heart slowly lulled you to sleep.

Bakugou's head tilted back, hitting the hard wood of the tree he was resting against. Eyes still closed he wondered why he felt so hot. He shifted his hands to adjust his shirt, instead grabbing and feeling soft, supple flesh. He startled awake at the foreign feeling, wide eyes glancing down to find Princess y/n sleeping in his lap.

The afternoon sun shone bright in the sky, and Bakugou shook his head, still dazed and wondering how this came to be. He recalled a beautiful woman comforting him in his dreams, and his face flushed red with the embarrassment that his dream may have been in reality. He covered his mouth with one of his hands, trying to halt the blush that spread all the way to the tips of his ears.
