It's awfully late for any letters…or to still be awake, for that matter. Toshinori walked down the corridor, holding a white envelope complete with an emerald-green wax seal. Although he had only recently agreed to let Inko send letters, she already had a large collection of them - she had sent and received one nearly every day. Each letter sent was to the same address; every letter received had a green wax seal and messy scribble Toshinori could never decipher, but Inko seemed to read with ease. It was like mumbling printed directly on paper.
"I don't believe she is in her room, Your Majesty." The grandfather clock at the end of the corridor spoke. "I believe she was headed in the direction of the library not too long ago."
"Ah. Thank you, Hari." Inko loved to read, especially scientific texts. Laws of attraction, magnets, chemical bonds. She had never quite told him why, but he figured he would find out eventually.
Everything happens in time, after all.
The doors of the library opened wide, welcoming him into the expansive library. Sure enough, sitting in a chair with a stack of books on the table beside her, there was Inko. The light scent of crisp paper and bound-leather books, the bookshelves that looked like they could hold a million books and more - a room Toshinori had spent all his time in as a child.
Toshinori cleared his throat. "A bit late to be awake, don't you think?"
Without looking up from her book, Inko laughed warmly. "There is never a bad time for reading."
"Ah. Well, a letter arrived for you," The blond held the letter out. Inko's eyes lit up as she cautiously took the letter and opened it.
"Thank you." Relief filled her voice after she had finished reading the letter. She expected him to turn to leave like he did every night, but he continued to stand there.
"May I ask who the letters are from?" If they were from a love interest, husband, even, that could explain why the curse was taking so long to lift.
Inko was quiet for a moment. "On one condition."
"What is it?"
Closing her book and setting it in her lap, the letter placed neatly atop, she sat up straight and gestured to the other seat. "I would like to know some things about you."
"Very well." Toshinori sat down.
"The letters are from my son, Izuku."
Toshinori's eyebrows raised in surprise. "A son. I see. Do you have a husband, then?"
"Not anymore. He left when Izuku was born - he was a merchant. It's been sixteen years, and he's still not back. Not one word or letter, nothing." She sighed. "I assume he has died. And to tell the truth, he was never one of the greatest people. It was more of an…well. Not quite an arranged marriage, but an encouraged one."
"How long were you two mar-"
"Patience." Inko held up a finger to silence him. "My turn. I want to know about your family as well."
"Alright. What would you like to know?"
"Why was your family so closed off? And what were they like?"
"I never had siblings. Or much of a father - I only remember my mother. She never appreciated growing up in the spotlight, where one small thing could be blown out of proportion simply because she was the heir to the throne. She told me she never wanted me to have to feel like my every move was being watched and scrutinized. She didn't want her good deeds to be simply for show - she did it for others."
"Was it lonely, growing up with only a mother?"
"No. There was immense comfort in the way she was always there for me." Toshinori said. "And I'm sure Izuku feels the same way about you."
Inko gave a half-smile, but it didn't cover up the sadness in her eyes. "Thank you." Her beautiful eyes.
Toshinori stood up quickly, not wanting to get stuck in another hopeless dream. "Although I have enjoyed this conversation, it's late. You should go to bed and rest."
Rising from her seat, Inko looked up at him and beamed. "I look forward to having more of them."
Idk if your asks are open or not but if could you do something for Toshinko like can you maybe do their first kiss but it’s interrupted by Toshis “A PHONE CALL IS HERE” ringtone? Just thought that’d be really funny and cute but obv don’t do this if you can’t ❤️!
This had me cackling when I first saw it!

“My dear Inko, I’ve had a great night tonight.” Toshinori’svoice was soft and smooth as he spoke. The two had spent the night out on thetown, and Inko couldn’t be happier. They had gone to the sweetest littlerestaurant and had an amazing meal. Inko could really be herself aroundToshinori, which was a shock given how popular he was. It felt like she hadfinally found some happiness in her life, and she couldn’t be happier.
“Ah, m-me too!” Her smile lit up the dusk time air as thepair walked. Inko was expected home any minute, and she was anxious to tell Izukuall about her date. What would he think? Of course, her son knew about theirouting. But, the two of them dating? Would Izuku be alright with that?
Toshinori glanced over at Inko before grazing her hand withhis. The woman jumped at the touch, but smiled over at him the instantrealization kicked in. Gosh, she wasn’t prepared for this. It had been so longsince she had gone on a real date, and now she had the jitters. The blonde nextto her tried a second time, but this time he interlaced their fingers.
Red creeped up Inko’s face as she looked the other way.Suddenly, the empty street was quite interesting. A small chuckle from her sidebrought her green orbs back to the present. “Ah? Toshi? Is something funny?” Tiltingher head, Inko stopped. The sidewalk was quiet, empty, and they had the wholestreet to themselves it seemed.
“Well, nothing really. I just, well, I had a really goodtime tonight.” Toshinori’s hand reached up to cup Inko’s cheek, which was scoldinghot to the touch. Could someone blush that much? Apparently, Inko could.
“Ah, w-well, I’m really g-glad that you had a good t-time!”Looking down, she sighed. Was she really ready for this? Toshinori’s thumbgrazing along her skin told her otherwise. Looking up, Inko realized just howclose the male was. Her gaze fell on his lips, which seemed so soft and plump.Wait, no! She musn’t think like that!
Suddenly, at if in slow motion, Toshinori’s lips touchedInko’s. The world stopped for a moment as his hands moved to rest on her hips.Gasping slightly, Inko slowly eased into the kiss. The moment felt so right, soperfect. Inko had just placed her hands on his shoulders when the noise started.
“A PHONE CALL IS HERE. A PHONE CALL IS HERE. A PHONE CALL IS-“
Inko let out a loud yelp as she jumped away from the male. “A-Ah,what is that?!” The blonde scratched the back of his head as he pulled hisphone out of his pocket. Declining the call, he looked back up at Inko. Takingher hands in his, he looked down at them.
“I am so sorry, my dear. I didn’t know that my ringer wasstill on.” He sheepishly smiled up at her, which caused the woman to launchinto a fit of laughter. The smile on her face made the whole awkward experienceworth it for Toshinori.
“T-That’s okay!” Inko wiped away the laughter tears in hereyes as she smiled back. “Let’s head back, yeah?”
I’ll be accepting requests and prompts of any of the BNHA characters as well as ships (ones I’ll draw in tags), OVA’s, or any of the AU’s I currently have :)
Drawings will most likely be sketches and what not, NSFW accepted if I’m comfortable enough ;u;
A barbarian boy wanders into town, alone and lost, and Inko is the only one who reaches out to him. It comes as a surprise to really no one that Toshinori reaches back.
