For as long as Todoroki can remember, he’s been by your side. In fact, his very first memory was of you.
You were running, chasing the sun. His hand was in yours, being pulled as you ran further. He remembers distinctly how your clothes flowed with every step forward you took and how your hair bounced and shimmered in the afternoon light.
Then you stopped and turned around. He remembers the breathtaking beauty he found in your face, but even more so, he remembers your smile. A smile of the angels. It was through your smile that he first realized he loved you.
Over the years, he continued to fall for you. He didn’t fully understand this feeling at first but as he grew, he came to accept it as another fact of reality. He loved you.
Just like the sky was blue, he loved every single part of you.
“Todoroki,” your cheerful voice called out, breaking him from his thoughts. “Let’s go for a walk in the gardens, shall we? It’s been a long while since we’ve been able to have a proper conversation.”
He nodded and you smiled. The two of you made your way through many a stone hallway and marble staircase before reaching the palace courtyard and garden.
The two of you walked, side by side. Todoroki didn’t say anything and neither did you. You stopped to pluck one of the roses from a nearby bush and caught his gaze, smiling ever so sweetly. He knows he shouldn’t but with every passing day, he’s longing for you even more.
“Do I have something on my face?” you asked.
“No,” he replied, a little confused. “There’s nothing.”
You eyed him for a second. “Here take this,” you said, handing him the rose. Internally, he blushed. Externally, he was confident he kept his face cool.
When you bent down and started taking off your shoes, he felt a little less confident.
“What are you—”
“I’ve been in these terribly uncomfortable shoes all day. My feet need to rest and recover. Besides, there’s no need to keep up appearances when it’s just us here right?”
He ignored what you said about it being just the two of you. If he thought about it, he would end up not knowing how to act. Instead he said, “Walking around the gardens isn’t a good way for them to recover.”
“It is if they get to finally stretch. The only thing that wouldn’t be good is if my feet accidentally stepped on a rock or poor little insect.”
“That would not be good indeed,” Todoroki mused.
“Luckily,” you smiled his way. “I have the best knight in the kingdom by my side to prevent that from happening.”
He wanted to tell you his job wasn’t to clear your path of every small pebble and speck of dirt, but he simply nodded and kept an eye out for small stray rocks on the path.
You kept up conversation, as one-sided as it was, talking about this and that and everything in between. Todoroki loved listening to you speak. If he had a choice he would walk beside you silent, merely listening. Sadly, you expected a reply from him quite often.
That’s how you two spent the evening, with a lovely garden stroll and a lively conversation.
You and Todoroki eventually made your way down the path back to the palace.The sun started to set, painting the sky with hues of red and orange.
He’s never said it out loud but he enjoys the moments he gets to spend with you. You bring him a sense of calm he doesn’t feel around other people. It’s one of the many things he loves about you.
You don’t know it though. How could you? After all, he’s never told you, or anyone else for that matter, how he felt about you.
He wanted to though.
Alas, he was but a knight, your knight. and as long as he was yours, he’ll be content.
“Todoroki,” you said softly.
Yes, he’ll be content…
“I— I’m to be wed.”
Wed?
He stood there, not quite able to process what you were saying.
“I’m of age now and Father’s been receiving countless offers, or so I’m told,” you continued hastily. “Earlier today, the prince of Shiketsu came and asked for my hand in marriage. It was quite dramatic actually, I wish you’d been there to see it…”
He stayed silent. He knew this day would come but he didn’t think it’d be here so soon.
“Well, tensions with Shiketsu have always been high so Father’s now all excited at the prospect of Yuuei and Shiketsu finally allying. He didn’t even bother to ask if it was what I wanted.”
“Well, is it what you want then?”
“I don’t know,” you sighed, “I just want to fall in love.”
Todoroki nodded, not knowing what else to do.
“He doesn’t seem like a bad guy, the prince. I just.. I don’t know if he’s really the one for me that’s all.”
He wanted to tell you now more than ever. He wanted to tell you everything he felt. But now, more than ever was the time for him to be quiet. Tensions between the two nations were high indeed. He knew that even if he told you, you’d still choose to go. Matters of state over matters of the heart.
In the end, he couldn’t say anything and simply continued nodding.
The next few months, he saw less of you and more of decorators, florists, and bakers.
The day of the wedding finally dawned. The palace was adorned in flowers and silk. It was a beautiful event, and one of the biggest events the palace had ever held.
All morning, people fritted around you, making sure you were absolutely perfect. Todoroki didn’t even get a chance to talk to you and only saw you once, briefly, before you were whisked away again.
As always, you were beautiful. Today though, you were so beautiful it made Todoroki’s heart ache.
He’ll tell you later he wishes you find what you’re looking for. He’ll tell you later he wishes you nothing but the best. He won’t tell you he’ll miss you, or that he doesn’t want you to go. He won’t tell you he loves you. Though it breaks him not to, he won’t tell you. And although his lips would utter a farewell, his heart will never be able to truly let you go.

SYNOPSIS. you can’t stop thinking of the balcony kiss you shared with a stranger last night, and maybe, he can’t stop thinking about it either. why else would he suddenly ask for your hand in marriage?

You woke up feeling uncomfortable in the acclaimed “most comfortable bed in the kingdom”. Your joints felt all sore and you could barely feel your arm from sleeping on it all night.
Technically it was all morning, not all night. Last night you…
You shot straight up, making yourself dizzy in the process, but it felt like nothing compared to the dizziness from all the memories racing through your mind.
His lips on yours. His hands hugging your waist. Your own hands wandering freely, unashamed.
That had to be dream.. right? Just another fantasy.
But you remember all too vividly the hitch in his voice as he whispered in your ear, “Is this really okay?”
And you remember all too clearly the confidence in your voice as you whispered back, “It is. Now kiss me.”
You buried your head in your hands. You said that?? You, the princess of this kingdom, said that??? And no less to a complete stranger.
Oh god. There were so many people at the party last night. Even worse, most were diplomats and nobles from other kingdoms.
You flopped back down the bed and hoped it would eat you alive.
Worst-case scenario is that the man with the nice lips is a high-ranking noble from a powerful nation. Best case is that he’s one of the palace servants.
You paused. Is it better for your reputation if you were known to be passionately making out with a servant on the palace balconies? And during a grand-scale party?
Possibly not but if it was a servant, you were confident you could get him to keep quiet.
But wait… since when did the palace have nice, young servants with lips like honey who could—
No. You can’t be thinking about that right now. You need to focus on finding a solution, and to do that you need to remember mystery man’s face or better yet his name.
You scrunched your face in concentration, trying to remember something, anything about what happened before you two started… doing that.
In the end, all you could remember was his voice. Everything before the kiss was hazy.
Why’d you have to drink last night? You knew you tended to become a bit too loose after just a few drinks but still…
“I think it’s cute, the nation’s lovely princess all flushed and drunk.”
That’s what he said. Even though you insisted you weren’t that drunk.
No servant would dare speak like that to a royal so that means he had to be someone of quite the rank. Now there’s just the problem of whether he’s from here or from another nation.
Please let him be from here, you begged internally. But as the limited memories you had played in your mind, you reluctantly had to admit he definitely was a foreigner.
You knew most if not all of the nation’s noblemen who were invited to the party last night. Of those the appropriate age, none had the voice of last night’s stranger — this you were certain of.
You groaned in frustration. What. had. you. done.
The door opened with a hasty bang. Maids, a lot more than you normally needed, filed into the room and started getting busy here and there. The looming thoughts of consequences from earlier faded away as you sat staring around bewildered.
“What’s going on?” You ask your head maid as she threw away the covers and dragged you out of bed.
“I’m afraid this has been a rush to all of us as well Your Highness and we are terribly sorry to have to wake you like this but—“
“But?” you repeated as she led you into the powder room.
“But there is a suitor waiting for you in the throne room.” Barely able to contain a squeal she added, “and a terribly attractive one at that.”
A suitor? They weren’t necessarily rare but judging from the maids’ excitement and what little you could catch of their whispers, this one was somehow special. If he’s from a good nation and, well if it’s true he’s attractive, you see no reason to decline his courting.
However, you couldn’t help but feel wary of the timing. There are many guests in the area from many different nations due to last night's party event. Your suitor might’ve had plans to court you since before arriving, or might’ve seen you last night and became smitten.
And the latter was what you were wary of. Hm no, wary doesn’t quite describe how you feel. Panicky, stressed, scared are all more accurate words.
You barely noticed when the maids were done dressing you up. One moment you were in bed, the next you were walking down your palace’s long carpeted halls towards the throne room.
You paused once outside, giving yourself time to breathe and push away the thoughts of last night. For now, you were going to focus on this suitor, nothing more nothing less.
The doors of the throne room opened and you walked in. Your mother was seated on her throne - a piece of unnecessarily lavish furniture in your opinion - talking excitedly with a blonde haired man.
You couldn’t see his face, but you could sense nobility just from his posture.
So this was your suitor, or at least you assumed.
As if on queue, your mother spoke in a loud voice.
“Darling, this is the prince of Inarizaki. He’s come to court you.”
She had a smile on her face and you swear you could see sparkles in her eyes as she looked back and forth between you and the prince.
“Now I understand things are done differently in this day and age, so I will leave you two to talk, get to know each other a little better. If and when you come to a decision, please do let me know.”
You rolled your eyes inwardly but it was nice that your mother isn’t going to make you sit through an awkward afternoon of tea with your suitors and their parents anymore.
“No rush on that decision by the way,” she called as she walked past you towards the door.
You inhaled slowly and exhaled as soon as you heard the door shut behind her.
“You look lovely this morning princess.”
You froze. His voice was eerily similar to the one playing in your mind all morning.
In fact, now that you saw his face clearly, you had to admit that you’ve seen it before. The blonde hair, slight smirk, shining eyes were all terrifyingly familiar.
Your thoughts must’ve been painted on your face because he said, “My my was I that forgettable? Last night—”
“We do not need to talk of last night,” you hastily said, gathering yourself.
“Are you going to reject me?” The innocent tone he said it in annoyed you. There was nothing innocent about him, especially the way his eyes—
No. Stop. You can’t afford to stare aimlessly into his eyes.
You took a deep breath, trying to clear your mind and maintain the regal air of the princess you were.
“I am not going to reject you. There’s no reason to… yet,” you started. Seeing his expression, you quickly added. “I am here to get to know you better. That is all.”
“‘Get to know me better’” He echoed, leaning in close, closer, so close you could turn your head and press a kiss against his cheek.
“Do you not know me well enough already?”
Images of last night came into mind. You couldn’t help it and being so close to him again made things worse. It was very hard to think straight in such a situation.
“I don’t even know your name,” you whispered without realizing.
He took a step back. For the briefest moment, you saw something that could’ve been shock flicker across his face. It was replaced quickly by his casual smirk as he gently took your hand and brought it to his lips.
“Miya Atsumu, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Inarizaki. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”
