Kirishima let out a sigh. He was still working up the courage to knock on the front door. He had not come back since Izuku had told him what had happened to his father. Kirishima wanted to tell him what they were planning, but he was still scared about what Izuku might do. Sighing, he knocked on the door, though gently. It opened to reveal a sleepy Izuku in what appeared to be an old shirt that was much too big for him. Kirishima held his nose as he almost got a nosebleed from the adorable sight in front of him that led him to having several lewd thoughts in that instant. He looked at Izuku to find a completely neutral face. It seemed that Izuku was not angry that Kirishima was there, but it might be a trick, so Kirishima had to be careful. Kirishima broke the silence, "Can I come in? We need to talk." Izuku merely opened the door a bit and Kirishima walked inside. They sat down in the kitchen table. Kirishima could feel the tension in the air. He looked at Izuku and remembered why he was there, "Me and the other royal heirs are going to go to the kingdom's central castle." Izuku looked up, "What? Why?" Kirishima continued, "We want to find out if we can prove what happened to your father. We all believe you, but we want the rest of the kingdom to know as well, but for that to happen, we need proof. We decided that the central castle would hold the records of your father's execution and could shed some light on the details. If we can get the case file or a confirmation statement from someone who was there, we can show the kingdom how our parents really are. But we need help. We're already breaking a ton of laws by going there in the first place, but we can't just sit around knowing that you suffered because our parents made a mistake. We want to help you. I'm telling you this to see if you want to come with us. I know that you probably don't want to be anywhere near us or the central castle, much less the Todorokis, but I want you to be there. I want you to be the one who reveals what our parents are about." As he finished, the prince stared at the pauper. Izuku sniffled. It as then that Kirishima realized that Izuku had started crying. He stood up and embraced the smaller boy. Izuku looked at Kirishima before leaning in to kiss him on the lips. Kirishima was surprised, but overjoyed that Izuku was kissing him. The kiss deepened and they kept at it until they need to separate for air. Kirishima was attempting to go in for another kiss when Izuku stood up and move to the bedroom. Kirishima followed. He saw Izuku begin to remove his clothes. Kirishima stared at the sight before him. He could stare at Izuku for days on end without every getting tired of the sight of him. That was when Izuku beckoned him to the bed. Kirishima realized what he meant. Smiling, Kirishima proceeded to follow Izuku's example and remove all of his clothing. The two of them kissed once again. They kissed and more. In the end, the recreated the events that transpired that night when Kirishima was drunk from the party. When they finished several hours later, they stared at each other. Izuku said, "I'll join you. I want justice for my father. And yes to your other question." Kirishima was a bit confused. He didn't remember asking Izuku another question since.... That's when it hit Kirishima. Izuku Midoriya had just accepted his marriage proposal!!!
