21 - "I object!" But better

{Blood/gore, death, kissing ig}

Izuku POV:

"Izuku?" The woman asks. "Are you going to talk with your friends?"

I jump slightly. Turning to her, I give the woman a questioning look. "How do you know my name?" I ask, suspicious.

She just smiles kindly and walks over to another window.

I turn to look out the window. How the hell does she know my name? I think. Wait a second..

"Ma'am, are you-" I started, but when I turned back to where the woman was, she was not there. "Ma'am?"

I look around the large hallway, but there was no one there.

Frowning, I turn and sigh, before jumping out the window and onto the grass below.

"Katsuki! Eijiro!" I whisper shout in their direction.

The large red dragon that I know to be Eijiro turns its head towards me. For a moment, I couldn't tell if he saw me, then he looked directly at me and did what I assumed to be a dragon smiling.

He nudged Katsuki and pointed his head in my direction.

"Green head?" Katsuki growls. I sigh and gesture to the window they were looking in. "It's the ballroom, you idiot, Icy-hot's getting married."

The color drains from my face.

.Shoto.

Momo was joining me up near my throne for the feast.

The kitchen staff really went all out this time, for the guests of the ball they made four roasted pigs, decorated with lettuce and grapes. Seven large bowls of salads were spread across the long table. There were two huge plates of fish, ten different kinds on each plate. Three dishes of large gold plated steaks, five bowls of mash potatoes, four long wood planks with magical fruits on them.

For the actual royals, there was one roasted pig, but the largest, an apple placed in its mouth. Two huge bowls of mash potatoes, one large plate of fish, two long wood planks with magical fruits on them, and also three fountains. One was a chocolate fountain, with perfect symmetrical strawberries surrounding the pool, the second was a water fountain, purely for wizards to perform water tricks with, and the last one was a flower fountain, dripping pink rose petals from the top into a pool of beauty at the bottom.

My family, plus Momo, was sitting on the balcony eating the food. We watched wizards perform tricks and things with their magic, beautiful displays of graceful water floating in the air.

But I was distressed.

I was sipping at a drink a servant had given me and was nervously glancing at my father, who was right next to me.

After a few minutes, Momo leaned next to me and whispered in my ear.

"Yes, your father is quite terrifying." She says. "But what's more terrifying is how that one wizard is looking at me."

I turn to her. She indirectly points at a certain wizard who had performed two times ago.

"He's been staring at me for a while, and winking at me." Momo whispered. "Could you get someone to make him leave?"

She gives me a look. I get the attention of a servant and whisper the problem to them. After they left, there was a few minutes before two guards came and took the wizard away.

Momo gives me a thankful look.

I heard a ding, ding of a fork hitting the glass and turning to see my father was standing up and speaking. I sigh and take a sip of my drink.

"Citizens, Aristocrats, and Court members." He starts. "I'm so glad all of you could make it to this special event." He gestures to me and Yaoyorozu. "My son has finally picked his queen. Soon, he will succeed me as king. I hope when that time comes he chooses only the right decisions. I believe in my heart that him, along with all of you, will continue my legacy and-"

A sudden large explosion interrupts my father.

I turned and saw that a huge red dragon had broken the wall on the left side of the ballroom, and was being ridden by Katsuki and.. Izuku.

"Oh my goddesses." Fuyumi says behind me. I stand up in unison with Momo and we take a step back from the table. My father was already shouting at guards to shoot the dragon down.

I turn to my siblings with a desperate look on my face. Fuyumi stares at me for a moment.

"Okay." She says. "Lady Yaoyorozu, please come with me."

She gives me a concerned look before leading Momo and Natsu out of the balcony area.

I rush down the stairs and run up to the dragon. Izuku sees me from on top of the back and shouts something at Katsuki. He jumps down and lands in front of me as Eijiro spreads his wings around us to shield.

"Shoto!" Izuku cries out as he envelopes me in a hug. "Oh Otune, I was so worried about you!"

I hug him back and smile.

"Worried about me? You were the one in the dungeons." I say. "How did you get out?"

He gives me a confused smile. "I'm not really sure myself." He says. "But I think the goddesses are helping us. I think I met one earlier. And that girl we saw, I think she was Etris herself."

After a moment, I breathe out a sigh of defeat. "I'll ask later, now-" I was interrupted when we heard guards shouting outside the thick skin of Eijiro's wings. Both me and Izuku whip our heads in the direction of the noises.

I turned my head back to Izuku and was about to say something when I was surprised with Izuku's lips on mine.

It was only for a moment, before Izuku pulled away, but it made my stomach twist in the strangest way.

I blink at Izuku as he stares back at me.

"I love you." He says.

The world practically stops as I process his words.

Love.

He loves me?

"I love you so much the world feels like it's on fire when I'm near you." Izuku states. "I love you because you're the most amazing and kind and beautiful person I've ever met. I love you so much it feels like I'm going insane."

My face heats up as I stand there shocked.

"And I wanted to tell you because I'm feeling so much euphoria right now because I just busted into the royal palace on a fucking dragon." He says. He paused, taking a deep breath. "You don't have to say anything, but I really needed you to know."

Another blink. "Izuku.." I say.

He looks away.

I cup my hands on his cheeks and made him look at me again. "Izuku." I say. There was only a moment before I leaned forward and kissed him.

Vaguely, I hear him gasp slightly before leaning into the kiss as well.

Then we broke apart, and Izuku gave me a smile.

"Are you done yet?" We hear Katsuki grumble from above.

Both me and Izuku look up and him before breaking into a giggle fit.

"Come on, we need to go if we don't want to be killed." Katsuki says, reaching down to pull Izuku and me up on Eijiro's dragon back.

Once we were safely on the dragon's back, Eijiro's wings pulled back and he opened his large gaping mouth, hissing at the guards trying to shoot him. He spun his tail around and it hit about ten guards, flinging them into the nearest wall.

I grinned as the dragon swiftly pasted all the guards and leaped on the dining area of the royals, where only my father was left, still shouting more orders.

The dragon reached forward with its mouth open, about to make contact with the king when he stopped, waiting.

Katsuki and Izuku turned to me, asking the silent question.

There was only a moment before I nodded.

There was a loud crunch, a guttural scream, squelching noises, followed by a few loud snaps.

Then silence.

Well, mostly silence. Since there were still many aristocrats screaming and such.

My head suddenly started throbbing, bright white light invaded my vision. "Shoto?" Izuku says, but his voice was muffled. "Oh no, it's happening again."

I went limp, falling unconscious.
