🌹One Encounter in the Forest [Todoroki x Chubby!Reader] **Fantasy AU**

~~ May (Current Year) ~~

"Your highness." The rows of stiff, statue guards on either side of the thrown room lowered to one knee in unison. He knew the guards knelt out of protocol and not of respect. Once again, the young prince's attempt at fleeing the kingdom was foiled. His father's army was too good, and he was too valuable to the king to be lost to the wild. However, the prince wasn't running from home to spite his father, though his feelings towards the king were not warm, he was sneaking into to the woods bordering the kingdom in search of someone.

She was a princess; royalty. That should have been the ideal match of betrothal, however her land wasn't one like the young prince was used to. Its people lived quite connected with nature. They were talented hunters and tamers of even the mightiest of creatures. The castle and the people were settled far out in the western mountains, sharing land with dragons; at least that is what the prince was taught growing up.

Citizens of his kingdom as well as all surrounding countries told stories that the people who lived among dragons were brutes and savages; how else would they be able to live peacefully with the feared scaled monsters? Though the myth of dragons was indeed true, those horrid allegations were far, far from the reality of that society as a whole. The ruler himself, unfortunately, was the exception and was more the type that was rumored about. 

Shouto tried so hard to tell the truth about the misunderstood people; that although their leader is harsh and critical, the people as a whole were not uncivilized barbarians, but what would he know? He was the dear sheltered prince; pale as the moon, wearing rings of gold and diamonds around soft, delicate fingers that never grew callous or unkempt. He had never known physical pain and hardship. He never felt the dry, twisting ache of starvation nor had to wait days for a doctor if he was ill. He had not seen the world; at least that's what most everyone believed.  

~~ 6 months earlier (November, previous year) ~~

His life flashed before his eyes. No. That wasn't it. The flash of a speeding arrow nearly missed his face. His eyes shifted to a nearby tree which now had the arrow wedged in the thick bark. 

"Shit!" His neck snapped back looking behind him, eyes widening as a figure was speeding towards him. The prince instinctively readied his hand to unsheathe the heavy sword hanging from his hip. The sound of rapid footsteps and crunching leaves suddenly ceased. He gasped seeing the person who was just sprinting at him curled up on the forest floor, groaning in pain.

"A-Are you hurt?!" He rushed over and knelt beside the...girl? That wasn't what surprised him. As she lifted her head the prince noted her appearance. She wore a fine dress of a noblewoman, skirt torn to end above her knees and sturdy leather boots laced with furs. She had an unfamiliar marking on her arms that dazzled the prince; navy blue ink stained her skin, looking like vines weaving up her arms. Suddenly the forest floor began to rumble as a loud blast filled the area. "W-was that an explosion..."

"We have to go!" The girl dropped the bow she was holding and gripped the prince's hand with unexpected strength. 

"(YYYY/NNNNN)!!!!!" A name was called out in pure blood boiling rage. The tall, slim prince struggled to keep up as the mystery girl pulled him deeper into the forest, farther from his home.

"What's happening? Is someone trying to harm you? I can take you someplace safe!" The prince was out of breath as the (h/c) girl stopped. 

"You should go. Go back home. Go before he sees you!"

"Who?" Ready to wield his sword, the prince straightened his posture. 

"My brother." He noticed the terror bubble in her eyes as she stared out towards a steep incline up a hill. The ground shook once more. Before anyone could react a flash of bright red rushed towards them. The royal stiffened at the sight of a young man kneeling before the girl. His fiery red hair was wild and messy but what took the prince's breath away was the pair of muscular, leathery wings sprouting from his back.
