The man was smiling with wide arms waiting for a hug. Izuku looked at his mom who he sees in teary eyes, She nodded at her son. As he was confirmed he immediately run towards the man and hug him tightly. Basically the little prince was now crying on his father's arms, soon enough Inko joined and Zuko was laughing quietly taking pictures and videos.

After an emotional reunion, the family was lead to the dinner table by Gus. It was already dim outside and the long flight must've starved and tired out the mother and son. Though Zuko and Izuku are far away from the other end of the table and let their parents catch up.

After the brothers were done eating, they excused themselves and Zuko lead Izuku to the sleeping quarters. Their rooms were not far from each other, the only distance that kept the doors so far was the size of their rooms.

"Zuku, this is your room. We kept it the way it is except we got rid of the baby stuff." Zuko said to is little brother. "WOAH! this is so cool!" Izuku gasped with shining eyes. He looked around.

The walls were mostly white, and there is one wall that is painted in green, the bed was so big that he couldn't believe it was his when he was a two year old. two doors were beside each other, with signs it said 'bathroom' and 'closet'. On the opposite side of the bed was a study table with a shelf of books. This caught Izuku's attention and ran to it. When he checked the books, he realized they were mostly hero related. Not the nursery kind of hero books but documentaries, lessons about them and how to improve certain powers, also the understandings of quirks. The others were about Royalty. Izuku Tilted his head at his brother about the hero books.

"Why are their many hero books?" he asked 'there's no way two year old me could read those' he thought before hearing his older brother's answer.

"Izuku me and dad may have forgotten to mention, but our Royal family is popular not just because of having the South America as our lands but also because we do Hero work." he smiled sheepishly at the younger boy.

"Really!?" Excitement takes over him once more.

"Yup! It's a tradition ever since heroes were made legalize and accepted by the world, our ancestors believed that royals must protect their own kingdom, and we proved that statement to words." Zuko said and Izuku gave lots of excitement reactions and rambles how he loves heroes and quirks and stuff then it hit him.

The greenette tilted his head and asked "Hey Zuko, What's your quirk?"

Zuko laughed at his brother. "I can't believe you only asked now! HAHA, I actually thought it would be the first thing you wanted to know."

"E-ehh!?!!" Izuku said embarrassed that his brother was laughing at him. The brunette chuckled.

"My quirk is 'Fire Laser'. Basically fire comes out of my palms or tip of my fingers, either way it shoots like a laser and the only flaw is the amount of time I can use my quirk. I'm actually gonna practice my endurance this summer camp.... RIGHT!!" he suddenly shouted and Izuku was surprise at the sudden loudness.

the Zuko continued, "...My school will hold a summer training camp. It's a hero school too just like UA, but instead of being the best in Japan, it's the best in the continent. I want to invite you to come with me Izuku, it's starts next week. Maybe you could also train your Telekinesis there."

Zuko encouraged Izuku who happily accepted because, Why not? He gets to train with foreign heroes and analyze new quirks and see his brother in action! His brother was eighteen years old. He's in the college course of heroics. According to Zuko all they really do was part-time hero work and learn from pro heroes first hand, they even get to go to different countries. of course with all this information Izuku still would chose UA because his friends were there.

The two stayed in the room and talked about their classmates and teachers. Both of them would occasionally mumble something or start rambling and then get stopped by the other if they can't keep up anymore. I guess it runs in the family.

two hours later a knock was heard at the door. It was Gus,

"Dukes," he bowed. "..I deliver to you your schedule. Since King Hisashi was sure that Izuku would like to join your summer camp Zuko, he requested a schedule for this week starting tomorrow. I'll leave this here." Gus then walk out as soon as he placed the paper on a small table that izuku thought was only for display.

(IZUKU POV) (the author finally got tired of third person)

I walked to the table to see a folded paper, I looked and saw a schedule.

"what's that Izu?" Zuko asked me. "oh, it's a schedule.. it says tomorrow I get to spend time with dad and you with mom." I told him. I am nervous but happy at the same time. My dad actually looks strict and scary but seeing him earlier crying and saying stuff like 'OHMY BABY BOY!!' 'I'M GONNA SPOIL YOU IN EXCHANGE OF ALL THOSE LOST YEARS!' it was to an extent where Gus had to but in and pull dad away. I think it won't be bad. I then start to believe he was laidback and a playful dad.

"Anyways, I gotta go Zuku, I'm taking mom on a date tomorrow. gotta prepare surprises." he said as he was confident at what he was doing and in a playful manner. Now it just gave me pressure whether or not I should buy a gift for dad. But to not show my panic I just chuckled and waved at him as we walks out of my room closing the tall door.

(TIME SKIP- NEXT DAY)

I woke up pretty early, I checked the clock and it was 7 AM, I'M SUPPOSE TO MEET DAD AT 6AM!! I started panicking and accidentally went to the bathroom instead of the closet. Then looked at the mirror realizing I went through the wrong door. I then took the readied clothes on the casual section and just left my tie on my neck hoping mom could do it for me later. I quickly ran out and start fast walking through the halls as I remembered running is prohibited unless it was a real business or life or death emergency.

I reached my Father's office, the place we're supposed to meet. He was on an ending call as I could hear their farewells and he looked up at me and said.. "OHH IZUKU!! perfect timing. I just finished emergency work it was a good thing you slept in a bit." I sighed in relief as he says more assuring words to calm my morning panic down.. He then smiled at me with a 'really ??' face, I tilted my head and my mouth go 'o' as I realized my neck tie is still hanged on my neck. He chuckled at me and said.. "I used to do that to you know. I always bought the readied ones with pins but then Inko noticed and taught me how to tie a tie." I was clearly fascinated by the story, It seems my clumsiness came from my dad. He then started tying it for me and I made a comment.. "I guess it runs in the family..??" While giving off a sheepy smile as I rub the back of my neck.

"Well then, I'm gonna show the kingdom their Youngest Prince!" turns out he invited a news agency he trusted to record our hangout and put it in the history.
