". . . I'll let him decide"

-back to the emerald castle-

Izuku groaned as he awoke, opening his eyes slowly to see a high ceiling, painted with stars and moons, he then slowly turned his head to see light purple whisps surrounding him in a large circle

'Where am I. . .?' Izuku thought to himself, whincing as he slowly tried to get up, feeling his body ache, "it hurts. . . But I don't remember getting hurt?" He mumbled, but he paused as he got a look at his arms and legs, seeing black roses tracing his skin

"Are these. . . What I think they are. . .?"

Izuku put the pieces together quickly, these roses were his soulmarks, they had to be, but who had black roses as a soulmark?

The soulmarks were far from bakugou's cherry blossom and dragon soulmarks, in fact, izuku couldn't recall anyone who had these marks

You see, due to izuku being locked away in the emerald castle, he's rarely met anyone outside of other royal families, and due to his observant nature, he's memorized the features of most of them

Despite this, izuku had no recollection of black roses as a soulmark, but if only he knew the reasoning for his ignorance about his unnamed soulmate. . .

As izuku began to stand, the doors to the once closed room, opened, revealing prince bakugou, who released a sigh of relief upon seeing izuku, "deku, you're ok" he said, getting only an inch away from the purple whisps

"Kacchan. . . What's going on?" Izuku asked, stepping towards the whisps, he almost went through until bakugou stopped him by yelling, "NO DON'T!!! You can't go past the barrier, if you do. . . He'll find you. . ."

Izuku was taken aback by this, but nonetheless, he stayed where he was, just right in front of the barrier, "kacchan who are you talking about? Is it. . . My soulmate?"

Bakugou seemed to tense at this, stiffening his shoulders as he looked away from izuku, not sure how to explain the situation

". . . What do you know. . . About the cruel king, tomura shigaraki?"

Pausing for a few moments, izuku thought of the name, he barely knew the name, only ever reading it in books, he was a powerful mage, and was known for his cruelty and bloodthirst. . .

But. . . Why would bakugou bring him up at such a time?

Izuku didn't have to ask, as bakugou said, "he's a powerful mage, from the banished kingdom, he's the king, and. . . Your soulmate. . ."

"He's my. . . Soulmate. . .?"
