♢Chapter 18♢

Todoroki P.O.V "Come on Yaoyorozu, you should get changed into this" Uraraka told Yaoyorozu as she handed the girl what appeared to be some gold armour. "Why?" Momo asked the sorceress with confusion.

"Cause if your quirk is creation and you can create things, if you want to create something large like a cannon or something, you shouldn't be wearing a lot of clothes to your exposed enough to create it" Uraraka explained.

Only minutes ago, me and Momo had completed some training with our quirks, and let's just say, it was fun. We did it for around a hour until Uraraka came over to us with something for Momo.

"Go on, it'll be fine. I'll be waiting here for you" I reassured Momo the best I could. She looked to me and gave me a shy smile before nodding to Uraraka. "Alright, if you say so".

"Great! Now come on, you should get changed in your room, then come out and see what it's like" Uraraka spoke excitedly as she dragged Momo away. I watched as Momo looked to me and gave me a shrug with a smile as the two girl's left.

I guess it's been a long time since Uraraka had another female friend around the castle to hang out with. I just stood there awkwardly in the hallway, not knowing what to do while I waited for who knows how long. Probably a while I'm guessing.

I decided to find the kitchen and get something to eat. Training sure makes you hungry.

I began wondering the hallways of the castle, looking for castle's kitchens. Luckily it didn't take to long, cause soon enough, I saw a small sign above a door that had a symbol with two spoons and a plate.

I opened the door slowly to the room and peaked inside, only to see it was empty, except for one person. I opened the door and bit more to see who it was, only to see Midoriya, reaching up to a cabinet where plates were held.

I didn't want to say anything in case I scared him, but I guess me opening the door that made a squeaking sound caused him to turn his head towards me. The next thing I knew, the Prince fell back, and bring down 5 plates with him, causing them all to shatter.

I rushed over to the other side of the kitchen, to see Midoriya sitting himself up, and shards of the plates scattered all over the ground. "I-I'm so sorry for startling you" I apologised as I began to clean up the started pieces.

I heard Midoriya chuckle.

"It's okay, I'm  jumpy all the time anyway" he spoke as he to began help clean up. "What were you doing getting a plate for?" I asked him. "I just needed a plate to put my food on. That's all" Midoriya replied as we quickly finished cleaning up the mess.

We stood up and decided to leave the kitchen, forgetting about the food. "So what were you doing in the kitchen anyway?" Midoriya asked me as we began to just walk around the castle. "I was going to get something to eat" was my reply.

"From all that training, right?" Midoriya asked me, which kind of surprised me. Did he know about the whole quirk thing? I turned to face him.

"You know about that?" I asked him, which he nodded to. "Yeah. How could I not when I got my own quirk" Midoriya told me with a smile.

"You have a quirk?""Yeah. I never knew about quirks until I started living in the palace" Midoriya told me as we came outside into the sun.

"Is it okay if I ask how you became the next King? Like how were you the one that was chosen?" I asked him, wanting to know that of all the people who lived on this island, why was a boy like him chosen.

Midoriya smiled a bit more and chuckled.

"I honestly don't know. When I was younger and I grew up here, I always looked up to King All Might. I always saw him as this amazing King who would do anything for his people. I guess I looked up to him because I never had a male role model, since I never knew my father, cause he left my mother before I was even born" Midoriya told me with a saddened tone.

"I was a pretty normal kid I say. I helped out my mom at the little bakery we lived at, I went to school, but I use to get bullied a lot though, so my mom had to take me out of it.But I'll never forget when I actually met King All Might himself in person" Midoriya spoke, now sounding more happy as he started with a chuckle.

"I just came into the bakery after some kids had beaten me up, and I was in tears and covered in dirt and blood running down from my nose. I walked in and my mother began to clean me up and scrubbed off the dirt and small amount of blood, when we heard the small bell chime, meaning someone came in. My mother told me to help them out while she looked for clean clothes for me to change into. While she went upstairs, I went to the front and stopped when I saw it was King All Might himself, standing right in our bakery" Midoriya laughed.

"I was so shy, I could say anything. That was until he spoke and ordered a apple pie. I nodded and got him what he wanted. I handed him the wrapped up pie and he asked me why it looked like I got in a big fight. I told him I was beaten up when I stood up for this other kid, and he told me I should be proud of myself for doing a noble act. He then shook my hand and left. I then ran upstairs and started telling my mom about what happened" Midoriya spoke, probably now lost in thought.

"Then, every now and again, King All Might would come to our bakery looking for something like apple pie, cupcakes, bread or scones, and he would always ask me how I've been. This went on for a year, and when I turned 14, that when King All Might offered me to become the next King, and the rest is history" Midoriya told me with a fond smile on his lips, thinking of the memory.

"It must have been a great surprise. For your number 1 hero to give your a opportunity like that" I spoke, which he nodded to. "Yeah it is. It made me believe that you could be the most normal person in the world, but great things will happen for you" Midoriya spoke happily as we fell into silence.

"Hey, guys!".

Me and Midoriya turned around to see Momo and Uraraka making their ways over to us. "What do you guys think about Yaoyorozu's new outfit?" Uraraka asked us as she pointed to Momo who was next to her.

Yaoyorozu had two gold shoulder plates on her shoulder, bandages to cover up her chest area, black shorts and brown boot's. "With this outfit, it will be easier for her to create weapons that are bigger and create them much more quickly" Uraraka explained with excitement.

"Yeah, but don't you think it's a bit to revealing?" I heard Momo mumble to Uraraka. I cut it. "Not all all. You look great" I told her, which she smiled to. "Thanks Shoto" Momo told me.Before any of us could get another word out, we heard someone.

"Princess Yaoyorozu!".

We all looked down the hallway, to see a maid running towards us with a letter in her hand, sheer panic on her pale face. "Yes what is it?" Momo asked calmly and the maid stop in front of her, out of breath.

"A letter. From your father" the woman replied with panic as she handed the letter to Momo. Momo took the letter. "What does it say?" Midoriya asked. "Yeah, read it out loud" Uraraka asked her.

Momo nodded as she read out.

"My dearest, Momo

As I am writing this to you, my servant stands to my right, ready to run to deliver this to you. I never knew that this would happen so quickly, but it has. King Endeavor had came with full-force with his army and they are burning homes, building's, man, woman and child with no mercy. I do not know how long the castle wall's will hold for, but I do not believe it will be long.

This letter will probably be my last to you. This short letter will be the last you hear from me. I'm sorry that I can not write down all I want to say to you. There isn't nearly enough time for me to write down all I have to say to you; all the things I want to apologise for and tell you how much I love you.

You have been the best daughter any father could have. I would trade my life for you any day, and I guess it has now. I know that by the time this letter reaches you, I will have been killed, but I will not die in pain and sorrow, but with joy that you are still alive and living. I know that this will cause your great pain, loosing you home and loved ones, but I know you are a strong girl, and you will get true it. Now live for yourself and be happy, for I know you'll get through it.

I hope to meet you once again in a better world far into the future.

Goodbye darling.

Sincerely, your father..."

A few moments went by with silence.

That silence was broken when we heard a chocked up sob. I looked to Momo, who was clutching the letter, and tears falling down her face swiftly, as she held back sobs.

"Y-Yaoyorozu" Uraraka spoke quietly as she placed her hand on Yaoyorozu's shoulder. 

"I-it c-can't be. H-he isn't d-d-dead. M-my father c-can't" Yaoyorozu chocked out again as more tears began to spill as she clutched the letter more, her knuckles turning white. 

I placed my hand on Momo's should and she looked up at me, her eye's turning red and puffy with the tears. That was when Momo lost it and just started sobbing an crying, jumping into my arms and hugging me tightly, crying into my chest.

She jumped into my arms with such force that it caused me to fall to the ground, but I still held her, one arm around her waist, and the other stroking her hair.

Momo sobbed uncontrollably as I tried to calm her down by saying, "It's okay. Just let it all out". Uraraka also tried to comfort Momo by rubbing her back, hoping to calm her down a bit, but nothing really helped.

So we all sat there, comforting Momo for who knows how long. We sat there with her until she calmed down, but even then, she was still crying, taking in breaths and tears still falling like a waterfall.

We just stayed there for her, comforting her for a while. Loosing a loved one is hard. I would know.
