Doomed - Fantasy AU Mha

Second try?

I looked at him, a bit shocked. The cold, intimidating barbarian complimented me? That would be a family treasure, that's for sure. He reached out a hand to help me stand. I took his hand, and as I did, I spoke. " Was that just a compliment from you?" I smirked with a raised brow. He scoffed. "It was." He admitted, "Consider yourself lucky, I don't compliment people." He smirked at me. I smiled back before I spoke. " Then, I'm honored. Now, would you care to go for a next round?". He smirked. " Next round, huh?" he said with a chuckle. " Alright then." He said as he got into a fighting stance. " You ready?" he asked, cockily. I smirked at him as I got into a fighting stance as well. " Ready." I replied. Katsuki snickered. He knew he would have to take it easy on the prince still, but he could see that the prince was pretty determined to win. So, he decided to show him how real fighting is. "Fine." He said, "Come at me."

I looked at him confidently as I charged towards him once again. Katsuki smirked as the prince charged at him. The prince tried to pull the same move as before, to avoid getting tripped. But he was now expecting that. So, when the prince was close enough to reach him, he quickly grabbed his opponent's right arm with his own, twisting it so that the prince was now stuck in front of him and his arm was twisted in a painful position. He smirked. "Too easy." He said with a chuckle. I paused. I looked at him. He was chuckling and smiling. It was...Nice. I liked seeing a smile on his face-even if it was a confident, cocky smirk. I smiled and chuckled as well. Katsuki was surprised by the response. He had literally just beaten the prince, and he had a smile on his damn face? Like hell the prince was enjoying losing. Katsuki was so confused. The prince was so damn unpredictable but at the same time, too easy to read. " What the hell are you smiling about? I just beat you. Did you hit your head when I wasn't looking?" he asked, confused.

I smiled at him before responding to him. " Yeah. You did. And you're clearly enjoying it. I'm just happy to see you be anything else then- well, stubborn and grumpy" I said, trying to put it as lightly as possible to not offend him in any way. Katsuki sneered as he rolled his eyes. " I'm not always grumpy, you know." He muttered. I looked at him for a moment before I smiled as I spoke. " I know. I see that." Katsuki looked at the prince before he scoffed. That damn smile. He couldn't help but feel the sudden urge to...Keep the prince smiling like that. But no, that wasn't possible. He wasn't allowed to...like...like him. He was a prince after all. And Katsuki was just a barbarian. I let out a short yawn before I looked at him with a friendly smile. " I'm a bit tired. How about we just sit here rest for some time?"
