Together (TodoDeku)

Chapter 6

Izuku and I have a system going. 

We meet every five days. It's been going great. My father hasn't paid enough attention to notice my absences.

When Izuku asked why I could only meet every five days I said I have to help around at home. He just smiled and said it was good I help.

It has been four months with that system. And Izuku and I are truly in love. Every moment I'm with him is happy. I haven't been happier ever than in these last months.

Everything was going smooth until my father called me into the throne room.

"Shouto, we are here to once more discuss your wife." my father said. I was already zoned out. This time though my mother wasn't here in this conversation. 

"I haven't found the right person I guess." Through these past months with Izuku some of the days I wasn't with Izuku my father was setting me up with these rich girls.

"But all of these girls are perfect to rule alongside you! Why can't you just pick one?!" my father said starting to yell.

"Well maybe I just don't like any of them!" I yelled back.

"Stop being so stubborn and be a good prince!" he yelled.

"Well it's kind of tough to be a good prince with YOU AS A FATHER!"

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST PICK A GIRL, SHOUTO!"

"MAYBE BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE GIRLS!" I practically screamed at him. He went silent.But I wasn't done. I was so angry I just spilled everything.

"AND I FOUND THIS BOY I REALLY LIKE BUT KNOWING YOU YOU WON'T LET HIM IN BECAUSE HE'S NOT A NOBLEMAN OR RICH! BUT I LOVE HIM! AND I WILL NEVER CHOOSE SOME SNOTTY GIRL OVER HIM!" I screamed at my now silent father.

"Fine." he said.

"What?" I said looking at him, in the eye

"You may make this... boy your queen. But only if I approve of him. Go now and get him. Bring him here by tonight and I will see if he'd worthy to become your queen." my father said. Now I was silent. He might accept Izuku...

I turned and ran straight out of the room. I ran through the halls and out the doors. Not bothering to change into my townsfolk clothes. I ran through town not caring about the stares I got. Everyone had just seen me run out of the palace doors but it didn't matter. They'd know me soon. 

They'll know me when I'm king. With Izuku as my queen.

I ran through the woods and to the clearing. Praying Izuku was there. And he was. He was sitting there weaving a small flower crown with a basket of flowers next to him. He had a small smile on his face.

"Izuku." I said. His head snapped towards me.

"Todo? What are you doing here? We met yesterday," I started to walk to him," And what's up with your clothes? They look expensive."

I grabbed his hands and stared at him in his bright green eyes.

"Izuku?"

"Yes?"

"You love me right?"

"Of course, Todo." he said looking worried.

"Even if I haven't been telling you the full truth about me?" 

"Depends... you aren't some serial killer are you? ARE YOU ON THE RUN?!" yelled Izuku. I laughed and he smiled back.

"No I'm not a killer." I said. I then took a breath, "I'm a prince." Izuku stared at me in disbelief.
