After walking down staircase after staircase, Mina, Tsuyu and Toru all escorted you and Ochaco to the private baths in a small area beneath the palace. That's where you both would stare bewildered at the sizes of the numerous pools. Small and big ones, separated by smooth rounded rocks, and at the back is a giant gaping window with long red curtains. The brunette next to you is just as shocked by how big the springs looked, repeatedly sprouting short sentences with the words 'huge' and 'luxurious'. The three girls briefly explained that it's only for the royal family and guests to use. However, it hasn't been touched in a while unless Queen Mitsuki ordered it to be cleaned. 

"Mother Mitsuki is throwing a big feast for King Bakugou's return! I'm so excited!" Mina exclaimed happily, bouncing up and down nonchalantly. Her two friends quickly reminded her of her manners toward you, a royal. The pink-skinned girl nimbly bows apologetically, asking you to pardon her rude manners, which you excused. 

Once you and Ochaco removed your clothes, you both settled into a pool. The water is hot until your body sinks in more and more, stopping when your shoulders are fully submerged. Several days of sleeping outdoors did a number on your body, so it felt nice to relax. You leaned your back against the rocks, combing your wet fingers through your hair. 

"I'm going to get their outfits prepared. I won't be long," Said Toru, leaving the other two girls behind. Mina and Tsu waved the girl off, unable to contain their excitement leading Ochaco to start a conversation. 

"Is this your first time in the dragon kingdom, princess?" She asked, earning a nod. Mina and Tsuyu standby. Out of nowhere, you see Tsuyu carrying a tray of coloured vials.

"It is, and I said no formalities. Please call me Y/n," You recalled. The girl laughed it off, blaming it on her memory. You then remember Izuku introducing you to Ochaco, and you ask. "How long have you and Izuku known each other?"

At the mention of Izuku's name, Ochaco's rosy cheeks turned a beating red. Her hand rubbed the back of her neck as she spoke. "A-about five years,"

"Really? he never really told me about his life outside of my kingdom, only about his mother living in Musutafu," You said. Mina uncorks an orange vial using her teeth and pours the substance into the water. 

"Well, before we met Deku, Iida and I lived in Takoba with our wizard guild. We heard rumours about the great hero All Might living in a small village not far from the kingdom and wanted to meet him." Ochaco began as the substance mina poured in added a fragrance to the pool. "When we arrived in Musutafu, we ran into Deku and life carried on from there."

You hummed, then turned your attention onto the girls deciding on the following vials to use. Once Mina picked up a small red vial, you questioned her. "Mina, what's with the vials?"

Mina perked, handing a vial for a look. "These are dragon remedies made from dragon stone,"

"Dragon remedies?" You examined the bottle before returning it to Mina. Lifting up an arm, your skin feels its effect. "I can feel it on my skin."

"The potions are removing the dragon stench off your skin, and the reason for that is simply because you were stuck with Kirishima for five days-" Tsuyu explained. 

"-Plus, these remedies make your skin nice and soft," Mina added, tipping the uncorked vial upside down. You and Ochaco revelled in the potion's effects. The colours of each vial swirled together, appearing very appealing to your eyes. Suddenly a hand on your shoulder startles you. It's Mina holding a mischievous grin. "How close are you to the king?"

"Close? What do you mean?" You raised a brow, obviously confused. 

"Tell us everything! How did you meet Bakugou? How are you able to stay around him for so long without him scaring you off? Do you use a spell that keeps him calm all the time?" The girl continued prying. You let out a little sound out of confusion, thinking back. 

"There's a lot to tell, but I met Bakugou during a storm after I got caught in his boar trap. At first, he treated me like his prisoner until I noticed an injury on his side. We came to a deal where I would heal his injury in exchange for shelter. The rest after that is a long story-" You told Mina, cuddling your arms together, remembering all the moments up to now. "Although after today, I remember when I was a child, I saw a boy flying by my castle on the back of a dragon. I believe that was him."

"It's possible, Princess. Long ago, no dragons could leave the kingdom unless they travelled with the royal family, ribbit-"

"Poachers and our enemies back in the day were the reason for that," Mina cuts in mid-sentence, making you and Ochaco frown.

"The rule was lifted once Bakugou took his place on the throne. His aggression must have scared them off, and by my guess, the dragon you saw could've been Kirishima!" Said Tsuyu, tapping her chin. 

"I guess you're right," You hummed. The two servant girls nod their heads in sync earning a sigh. 

After an irksome conversation with his mother, Bakugou fled the throne room to change. He sees Toru leaving the baths in the middle of walking back to his chambers. He hears her murmuring to herself about the tailors without noticing him. Seeing the girl run in the opposite direction, Bakugou continued onwards. A nostalgic feeling sticks whilst he reminisces about the countless memories he's made before he left. Time away led him to forget the good old days.

Now at the feast, he's sitting at a large table beside his mother, watching the bonfire burning a blaze so bright it's the tallest flame in the entire kingdom. Food is sprawled all around with enough to last the whole night. As more guests arrived, the seats on the other of Bakugou remained empty. He rests his chin in his palm whilst his other hand is tapping on the table.  

His mother reaches over, patting his shoulder and then beneath his chin. "Chin up, Katsuki," 

"Tch, Don't tell me what to do, woman!" Bakugou spat, shifting himself in his seat. Over the music, Bakugou was unsure of what to do at this moment as it was his first event as king. When he was the prince, he did nothing but linger, ignoring people in his path besides his parents and friends. 

"Hey, Kaachan and your grace!" Greeted Izuku and Iida. The green hair boy takes a seat after he bows for Mitsuki. Iida follows after Izuku, repeating the same actions before he sits down. 

"Ah, Iida and Izuku! Early as always," Mitsuki smiles while she pets the dragon sitting on her lap. 

"Well, Iida and I didn't want to be rude and show up late," Izuku retorts, earning a short chuckle from the woman. 

"Nonsense Izuku! we have all the time in the world," Mitsuki exclaimed, clapping her hands together. "Now we wait for the girls," 

"Actually, we're already here," 

"It's about time-" Bakugou spoke under his breath. Once his eyes passed Ochaco's and Tsuyu figures, he froze. You're further away conversing with Mina nervously. Dressed in an f/c two-piece, specifically a bra and a long skirt, to adapt to the heated temperatures. Mina made sure you wore a lot of jewellery similar to Bakugou's. In your hair, arms, and around your neck, Mina also painted red tribal markings under your eyes. 

Eyes immediately follow Bakugou's stare, scanning you from head to toe. You haven't noticed yet until Mina brought you to a halt. Raising your head, you saw jaw-dropping expressions and intensive glares. Upon realization, you hugged yourself the best you could. Living your life in fancy dresses hid your natural body. 

Face heating up, the bra perfectly fits your chest, and below your navel, the waistline of your skirt hid your belly. Your thick thighs and hips filled in the skirt. Your h/l h/c hair framed your face more than the tribal markings on your cheeks. Mina joined Kirishima's side, looping her arm around his elbow. "My best work yet," 

Loosening your hold on your arms a bit, you nervously chuckled out a greeting. "U-um hi,"
