Chapter IV : Caramel's flavour.
___________________________________

I walk.
In a long and silent corridor. At first, I don't recognize this place. Giving a look around, I notice how big the walls are. A lot of paintings decorate these walls. I stop in front of one of them.
-... Is it... Auntie Bakugou...?
She is beautiful. Strong. Wearing some golden armour. She is also surrounded by some dragons.
-... Is she a knight or something...?
All of sudden, I hear a big sound and some fast steps. Turning around, my eyes meets Kacchan's face.
Goosebumps.
Heartbeat. My steps guiding me to him.
-...Ka-
- HAH ? What are you doing here?!!
He grabs me by the collar and continue to walk away.
-W-w-w-w-wait Kacchan, what does that mea-?
-Shut up. I'm tired of you already.
-What did I do again?!! Why are angry at me now??? I thought we were fiancés or something???
- HAH ?!
He suddenly pushes me down and looks afraid, no- weirdly confused ??
I gaze at him, and stand on my feet again.
- What was that Kacchan...?
- A-ArE yOu OuT oF yOuR mInD ?!!!
- H-hah....?
- W-WE AREN'T DAT KIND OF SHIT ???
- ... ... ... Oh.
I start to mumble about all of this. Am I too early in the story ? Aren't we together yet...? Kacchan seems pretty much confused, it could be...well... Kind of fun to tease him a little I guess...
I make a face and start to smirk despite myself.
- What are you grinning about now ?? Who are you ?? You aren't this shitty guy I swear!
- But I am. I just had a dream where we were... well... Fiancés. Is that really that weird ??
- YES ??? I almost killed you yesterday and so now we have to be fiancés ??? Are you a masochist or something ??? Plus what should I marry such a pitiful human ???
- Oi. Don't be so rude to me !! I'm not pitiful !!
- You are. ... Silly human.
- What was that ?? Are you telling me that you aren't a human now ??
- ...
Now, he looks at me with some suspicious gaze. ... I approach him and slip my hand in his. And the funniest reaction from him happend. Kacchan just screaming weirdly, trying to escape from my hand.
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. LET ME GO. YOU SUCKER. DON'T TOUCH ME WITH YOUR DISGUSTING HANDS ???
I hold him tight.
- Why.
He don't answer but seems, ..... Hecking flustered ??? I gave him a surprised look and shyly let his hand go. Kacchan steps back from a few meters and stares at me.
I start to laugh shyly. Damn, this Kacchan is so cute !!

Feeling all of sudden a little dizzy, I put a hand on my head.
Huh... What is it...?
I close my eyes for a sec and when I open them again, I'm in a different scenery.
- Huh??
I look around and meet Kacchan's look. I frown my eyebrows looking at him who gives me a weird look.
- So ?? Izuku ??
- Huh ? ... Sorry, what is it ?
- Will you do it or what ?
- D-do w-what ?
He sighs. And approachs me before grabbing my wrists without a warning.
- Get nacked already.
- HUH ???
I look down and meet Kacchan's KACCHAN ??!!!!! I almost shriek of surprise. Oh- Wait- no. He has some pants. Pfiouh.
- W-Wh-WHAT WHY SHOULD I- ???
- ...
Kacchan avoids my gaze, sighing, being a little flustered.
- You change your mind already...? That was your idea huh...
- I DIDN'T ??
HA. WHY DID I TOLD HIM THAT ?? It's my turn to get flustered about the situation. Are we about to... TO... TO SLEEP TOGETHER ????
Kacchan starts to undress me while I'm frozing. Then, almost naked, he just turn his back at me and go looking for something
Then, returning at me he lends me some ... bottle ?
I give him a puzzled look.
- There is no turning back after that. It will links us forever. I know there is no other choice to win against those monsters. But you have to be aware that this kind of magic in our clan is used for marriage.
- O-oh...
- It will be like we are married with that. More like, soulmate stuff you know.
- R-really...?
- Huh. Are you sure you want to do that, Izuku ? You may be able to not marry anyone in the future just because of that.
- B-but it will be the same as you, no ?
- Yes. But I don't care. I don't want to marry anyone. I will be the king soon or late. It's okay, I have too much to think. And even if I'm not that happy to do this with you, I'm aware that we don't really have any other choice.
- You can't do it with anyone else...?
- Nah. You and I... We are All Might's successors now. Our bond is already stronger than I would ever want so... Let's do it.
- Okay. Learn me everything, Kacchan.
- Hm.
It's almost like I can't control my body at all. Almost like this is not really me... I feel like, ... As if this is like my others dreams. More like a dream, it's like some strange memory... Are they memories from them...?
Suddenly, a blank.

When I'm able to see around again, I'm in the ... huh castle...? Again ...?
I'm in front some very big door and hear an argument between Kacchan and... His parents I guess...?
- That's not how you can do that Katsuki !!
- Why not ?? I don't want to marry anyone. Let me be the King anyway !! I saved this freaking world already, I can be the King now !!
So... We already saved the world...? That's mean...
I look around my body and search something different on my hands, arms... Nothing...? I feel like my heart is weirdly burning.
I lick my lips and give it a look.
- There you are...
My heart races, seeing this mark on my heart. Is that...?
- KATSUKI. That's an order. You'll have to take a wife to take the throne !!
- I. DON'T. WANT. A. WIFE.
- Then take a husband, I don't care, just choose someone or you won't be the King !!
- Mitsuki... Maybe we can... like, since we are still alive maybe he can be the King and search for someone aft-
- Are you serious ? The whole situation can't let us do whatever we wan-
- I'm sick of your shit. I'm leaving.
- Katsuki !!
I dress again, and meet Kacchan's eyes, vermilion's eyes, angry and-...
- Shut up, Izuku.
I start to follow him.
- A-are you alright ??
- I won't be the King. The ancestors are against it.
- W-why ...?
- Because of this stupid rule of having a soulmate shit.
- W-why is that so important ??
Kacchan stops and looks at me straight in the eyes.
- The fact is that if there is a King, there is a Queen. This soulmate shit is about sharing the power and the throne. That's the rule. A rule of peace. We usually have to marry someone from the dragon's clan at least one time every century.
- So-
- Yes. My mother was from the dragon's clan. So I'm half from them. And normally I would'nt have to do the same. But everything is different now since All Might isn't here anymore and this whole shit about monsters came up. Even if we resolve it, everyone is getting anxious and we need to keep the peace right.
- Then just marry someone from-
- Are you stupid ?? How can I do the shitty Soulmate's pact now ??
My eyes opens wide, then I look down my feet, putting my hand against my own chest.
- O-oh... Y-yes... that's right, I am...your soulmate now.
Silence. I look up again and propose something beside my hurting heart. Like I'm about to say something I don't want. Like it's not me who are really talking...
- T-then you can still asks Eijirou or Mina since they already knows about the situat-
- Don't you dare finish your sentence, Izuku.
I meet his gaze. His hurted gaze. Since we are soulmates, we understand each other feelings well. Too well.
- I'll find another way to convince them.
- T-then I'll help you...!!
- I know.
Kacchan said, resting his forehead against mine.
... At this time of the story... Aren't we already in lo-...?

I wake-up suddenly, feeling my phone vibrating a few times. I wipe away my saliva and try to sit down. Geez... What happened...?
I look around and recognize Kacchan's body. I suddenly blush, realising that I felt asleep on his chest and...drool on him. Shit.....
I try to wipe his chest but that's no use.
Whisper.
- Dang it...
My phone vibrates again. I catch it and open the messages.
- ...Kacchan...? What does he want at this time...?
It's almost 4.am. I gulp.
What was those weird dreams... Are they the past of Kacchan...?
I breathe in, sitting down my bed.
I open the messages and start to read them.

___________________________________
That's all for the chapter IV !! Finally I wrote the dream lmao, what did you think about it ?? I kind of want to write more about Kacchan and Deku 's past now >D<)/ Maybe I'll do it uwu)...
Why do you think Kacchan is writing to Deku ? And what the messages can be about ?? Maybe... I'll put... some... angst 8D (or maybe not who knows, I'm not a big fan of angst tbh, if I put some it won't be long, after all it's a comedy I write here uwu))
