Yaoyorozu P.O.V
I could feel the sun in my face. Even though my eye's are closed, it was still blinding to me.
As a solution, I turned over in the bed to avoid that light, and it worked. Since the sun's light wasn't shining in my face, I could opened my eyes.

When I did, I was met with Todoroki, which nearly made me jump right out of the bed. He was still sleeping peacefully, without a care in the world. I then noticed how close are faces were. If either of us moved even one inch, we would practical have our noses touching.

To prevent that from happening, I moved back a bit from him and turned back to face the window once again. Sure the light was still strong, but it wasn't blinding me as much as it did a few minutes ago.

After a few minutes, I could feel the bed shift, probably cause Todoroki was getting up. I could hear him pull the covers off and standing up and stretching. I decided to get up to and pretend I was just waking up.

I sat up and yawned, stretching my arms above my head, leaving a satisfied feeling.
"Morning Yaoyorozu".

I turned my head to my left and looked to Todoroki who was standing up and looking towards me. I just smiled and replied with, "morning".
He turned away from me and walked over to a large closet and opened it, looking thorough before pulling out some of his own cloths.

I looked towards the window's and seen it was still raining, not as much as last night, but still raining. "You should probably get dressed. Breakfast will be ready in 15 minutes" Todoroki told me, catching my attention.

"Oh right. I'll go now to give you your privacy. I'll meet you down there" I replied cheerfully as I got up, grabbed my pillow that I had last night and made my way out the door, shutting it behind me. I don't know why, but I still felt embarrassed about going to Todoroki's bedroom last night. I should have stayed in my bedroom instead of going to him.

I felt this strange fuzzy feeling when I thought about what happened only minutes ago, face to face with Todoroki in the bed. "I slept in the same bed with Todoroki..." I whispered to myself, still trying to comprehend what i did last night.

"What about Todoroki?"

I jumped at the sudden voice and turned around, only to see Todoroki's mother. "Oh em Todoroki? Yeah I was just saying how long I'm probably going to be waiting for Todoroki before breakfast" I told her, not wanting to say I was in the same room as her son last night.

She just gave me a warm smile, which kind of reminds me of my own mom...

"Em your highness. Is it okay that I go out to the garden's before breakfast?" I asked her, hoping to break the awkward tension. "But it's raining, and you shouldn't be outside when it rains, you'll get sick if you do, and we don't want you getting sick when you have to leave in two days." she told me with concern.

"Don't worry, I will put on a rain coat and I'll only be outside for only a few minutes" I reassured her, hoping she would allow me. She took a moment before deciding.

"Alright, but if you are not back within 20 minutes, I'll have someone go fetch you" Todoroki's mother told me. I nodded my head, showing that I understood. She gave me a small smile and made her way down the hallway, probably to the dinning room for breakfast. Todoroki's mother is a very nice woman. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.
That was close.

When I was sure the Queen was gone, I made my way to my room and got dressed into my own cloths. I just wore a simple dress that only went as far as below my knees, so it wouldn't get dirty when I went outside. Before I left, I looked into the mirror and tied my hair up in its signature ponytail before I left. With that, I put on my shows, and a bright yellow water proof jacket and left my room.

Thanks to Todoroki, I was able to remember where the castle exit was. If he didn't show me yesterday, I would be walking around the castle for hours like I'm lost in a maze, which in my opinion, it was. With many twist and turns and levels, it was difficult to remember where everything was.

(Play sound on top now)
After what felt like an hour, which was probably only 5 to 10 minutes, I was able to find a door to get outside. I stood there for a few moments, admiring the rain as it came down and hit against the plant life before me. I could hear each drop as it landed on the ground and the garden, every 'plop' sound it made.

After a few moments, I stepped outside and pulled my hood up, as the rain came down. As soon as I stepped out if it, I could feel and hear the rain hitting my hood and shoulders. It gave me a satisfying feeling for some reason. Probably because I wasn't stuck inside a castle. Probably cause I was outside. Probably because I didn't have to worry about anything. Or probably I was alone and by myself, my only company was the sound around me.

I started walking towards the garden's and decided to look around since I didn't get to explore it a lot yesterday cause Todoroki came to get me.
I walked with my hands behind my back and looking up at the tree's that blocked out some of the rain.
The pavement was covered in puddles, and the urge to jump in them was so strong.

I wanted to jump from one puddle to another just like I use to when I was just a child years ago. I remembered when I was younger, me and my mother would go outside when it was raining, and play out in it. We would spend hours in the cherry blossom garden jumping in puddles and laughing.

Sometimes if the rain got really heavy and we weren't close to the castle, me and my mother would hide under the tree's to get shelter. We would lean against the tree and talk about thing's until my father came looking for us with an umbrella in his hand. We would then walk back to the castle and get dried off and into are night cloths and sit next to a fire in my parent's room and have nice hot drinks.

We don't do that anymore though, not since my mother died 6 years ago from illness. My father dose his best to spend time with me, and I know he cares for me alot, but since he is the king, he doesn't always have the time. I get quiet lonely around my home, no siblings to talk to or hang out with.

My father dose do his best to keep me happy though, and he dose do a good job of it to. He will always do his best to make time for me and when he dose, we have a lot of fun together. Sometimes, he let's me talk about thing's for hours on end and he would listen to me. I would sometimes help him with his work to help him be less stress with his work. My favourite thing though is when we would just mess around and have fun and laugh doing something stupid.

My father also gives me a lot of freedom unlike most kings allow their daughter's. He let's me out of the castle and I am aloud to travel around the village and talk to everyone. He always says "a good royal is a royal who interacts and enjoys the company of their kingdom's people". That's why my father is very well respected in our kingdom, he actually interacts and talks with locals, and pretty much knows everyone by name.

I was snapped out of my thought's when I fell into a puddle. Oops, I wasn't looking where I was going. I just laughed at how silly of me that is as I sat up. I'm an actually cluts, falling over my own two feet cause I wasn't paying attention.
I didn't even notice that there wasn't any rain hitting me anymore.

I looked in front of me and seen that it was still raining. So why couldn't I feel it?
I looked above me and seen a clear umbrella above my head. I then looked behind me only to see it was Todoroki holding the umbrella.

"Todoroki? What are you doing here?" I asked, confused why he was here out in the rain and not inside with everyone else.
"My mother told me to get you since you have been out here for nearly half an hour" Todoroki replied simply as he held out his hand.
"Come on, your going to catch a cold if you stay out here. Let's get you back to the castle and get you dried off" Todoroki told me.

I didn't say anything, since there was nothing really to say. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me off the ground. Just now I realise that I'm soaked to the bone as father would say it.

Then, Todoroki locked his arm around mine and pulled me closer beside him. "What are you doing" I asked a bit flustered by the sudden gesture. "The closer you are to me, the warmer you'll be and you will be under the umbrella" Todoroki told me as we begin walking.

The walk was silent. The only sound was the sound of the rain hitting against the top of the umbrella. It kind of made me sleepy to be honest. You know that feeling where everything is quiet but there is a small noise that's quiet and calming that it just puts you asleep. That's how I felt.

I then leaned my head to the side and leaned it on Todoroki's shoulder. "You okay?" He asked with something in his tone. Concern?

"I'm fine, just tired" I replied as I closed my eye's. I wasn't going to sleep, cause if I did I would fall, but I'm just resting my eye's.
With that, we continued to walk down the paths, rain filling the silence.
