She is a He (TODODEKU) PRINCE AU

Chapter 2

"Oh! Where could my faithful savior be hiding?" A youthful brunette chirps, her call echoes throughout the garden. She swings the legs back and forth casually, making the branch jiggle at the motion. The soothing melody of the birds emits the garden's atmosphere.

The round, soft chocolate-color eyes scout around the area, anticipating to catch any moment. At that moment, a boy arises from the bushes like a rabbit. The adolescent is quick to bursts into laughter at the sight when she distinguishes the loose leaves clinging onto his hair. "Are you a walking tree or something?" The brunette ridicules playfully. The boy pretends to look insulted by the statement and folds his arms across his chest, sending the girl a teasing glare.

"Well, if you are going to mock me, then I think I have just lost my urge to save you, Princess Uraraka" the youth reprimands, spinning around on his heels. A gasp escapes from Uraraka's lips. A visible pout spreads across her visage. Steadily rising up to her feet, she calls out to the disinterested boy.

"If you're not going to save me, Prince Midoriya, I will jump to my death!"

Midoriya spins around. His eyes and his mouth are frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise.

'Is she joking?' The prince wonders.

"3"

Clearly not.

"Ochaco-kun! Wait!"

Midoriya promptly reaches the base of the tree. His fingers grapple to seize the tree's bark. Above him, Ochaco chuckles at the scene. Midoriya was never a good tree climber. It was never one of his fortes.

"2"

"Why did you have to choose such a challenging tree to climb!" Midoriya cries out in vexation. His fingertips bleed cerise. After numerous attempts, Midoriya manages to climb halfway up when he hears the sound of something splitting, his eyes fall onto the unstable branch that has now become separated from the tree itself. He becomes conscious of the situation.

"1-"

"Ochaco-kun! The branch is about to-"

The pair gets cut off when Midoriya watches in horror as the once solid tree's arm snaps from under Ochaco's feet. The girl outcries at the sudden loss, her body tumbles backward. Her hands frantically seek for anything to hold onto. Scrambling toward the jeopardized Princess like a lizard, Midoriya reaches out in a futile effort, only to find himself diving after her.

"Midoriya! You idiot!" Ochaco chides, realizing that the Yuuei Prince was following behind.

"We can't have two royals dying!

"Use your zero gravity!"

"I can't focus!"

Before another word could escape their lungs, out of nowhere bandages hastily sweep from beneath them, encasing the pair's hands and legs. A hand securely grips their garments, bringing them to the palace's ground carefully. The man drops the two royals down with a plop.

Dusting himself off, Midoirya's emerald eyes glisten in recognition.

"Aizawa-sensei!"

The man snorts at his mention. Brushing the comment aside, he allows his height to tower over the doublet who meekly back down, their heads hanging low in evident shame.

"Do I look like a babysitter to you?" the man inquiries with irritation. His coal-eyes catch the dim sunlight.

Two heads shake in reply.

"You are lucky that I decided to intervene or else..." the Royal Tutor cuts off, choosing not to go into unnecessary details. Knowing he has gotten his point across, Aizawa gestures moderately towards the castle.
