My feet pounded against the ground below me, lungs desperate to keep up with my wild pace. I stumbled slightly, but my legs wouldn't let me stop running. I spread my arms out, partially looking like a fool, to keep my balance. The thundering footsteps followed me, and my adrenaline kicked in, and my legs scurried me away from the sound faster, all the way to the edge of a cliff, where I skid to a stop.

"STUPID DEKU, STOP RUNNING!"

I gulped, looking back at the large dragon chasing me down.

"I DON'T WANNA KILL YOU, DAMNIT!"

I turn all the way to the person chasing me.

"You usually do, Kacchan."

"OH SHUT IT STUPID DEKU!" Kacchan jumped down from his dragon, pointing a sword at me. 

"I'm not here to kill you!"

His dragon is covered in smoke, coming back to his human form. "Hey, Izuku!"

"Nice to see you again, Eijiro." I smile, waving.

Kacchan growls, putting the sword back on his shoulders. "That damn Half-and-half has called us back to his castle. If you would have LISTENED THE FIRST TIME WE WOULD HAVE AVOIDED EXTRA TIME!"

"Sorry about him, he's more annoyed than usual."

"I'm just damn upset we had to leave...." Kacchan mumbles, his thoughts trailing off.Kirishima smiles, slapping Kacchan's back. "Let's just deliver Izuku and get back, okay? It won't be long."

Kacchan groans, stabbing the sword into the ground. "Right, change back then!"

"I have to wait a little bit, it takes energy."

Kacchan plops onto the ground, twirling his finger in the grass.

I smile at the couple's bickering, definitely thinking they could be an even greater pair.Kirishima morphs into his dragon form, and Kacchan stands back up.

"Finally, Jesus. Get on, damn nerd." Kacchan climbs on his dragon, and I follow slowly, grabbing onto a steady point.

I knew all of the good points to hold on due to all the times I've ridden on Kirishima. I gripped onto the least painful spot, know it was going to be a long ride to the Todoroki palace.

----

I slide off Kirishima. "Thanks, Kacchan!" I cry.

"Whatever, damn nerd!" Kacchan cries, flying off.

I smooth down my clothes and sneak around to the back of the palace, just as the guards come rushing out of the front, I up to the side of the palace, climbing the tree to Todoroki's room. I jump into his open window, somersaulting onto his floor. I stand up, smoothing my clothes off.

"You called?"

"There you are, Izuku," Todoroki turns around, his bed-head still evident. "Sorry, I didn't know you were coming so soon..." His cheeks tinted red, and I only smile.

"It's alright, Todoroki."

"I told you, call me Shoto."

"You're a prince, I can't do that."

Todoroki chuckles, brushing his hair out. "I'm not your prince, am I?"

"No..." I look down, sighing. "You really want me to call you Shoto?"

Todoroki freezes, setting his brush down and clearing his throat.

"You okay To- Shoto?"

"I-I'm alright, Izuku." He coughs, turning around, with his face red. "Right- your mission!"
