The barbarian
He's following him now. Izuku doesn't know what to do, All Might certainly didn't prepare him for this when he sent him on an adventure on his own.
The barbarian's name is Bakugo Katsuki and he tried to fight him first, only to abruptly stop when he realized Izuku could perfectly fight back and was not afraid of him.
Bakugo even allowed him to cross through the forest, but hasn't stopped following him ever since; Izuku is not sure if he's actually doing it to keep an eye on him or if he's just heading towards the same direction somehow.
He doesn't want to ask, because he doesn't want to have another fight with the barbarian; he's a grumpy one, although very handsome if he must admit.
"You're not that bad, for a nerd," Bakugo chuckles suddenly, walking right next to him.
"Uhh... Thanks?" Izuku mumbles, still not sure what to do or what to think. Perhaps he just got himself a friend?
"My village is at the end of this road," Bakugo says, grinning smugly before pointing at some sort of tattoo on his shoulder; it looks pretty, but it has an empty space in the middle that makes it look incomplete somehow. "I finally have chosen a letter for this one. I'll go get it done."
Izuku feels more relaxed now, so the barbarian is not actually following him... He just wants to go back to his village.
"Great! I–"
"It won't be that long. We'll be there for a couple of hours."
At first Izuku thinks he imagined the "we" but Bakugo grabs his arm and pulls him past the forest and into the village.
Some people greet Bakugo, others just bow in front of him, which actually gives Izuku a very bad feeling about the whole situation.
Bakugo looks excited and absolutely pleased, Izuku supposes is completely normal since he's with his people, even though he doesn't seem to pay too much attention to them. The problem is that they seem very curious about Izuku though.
He feels a little bit more relieved when they walk into a large tent where a beautiful girl with pink hair greets them, Izuku doesn't have time to say "Hi" or introduce himself because Bakugo talks first.
"I came for you to finish my ink."
"Really?" The girl looks like she can't quite believe it, but at the same time a joyful glimmer lights up her eyes. She then glances at Izuku. "I've wondered why the barbarian King have decided to do me the honor of paying me a visit again..."
King? Izuku blushes, feeling a little bit better when Bakugo finally releases him.
He should be careful, he almost got into a fight with a King.
"He's very cute," the girl comments, smiling at Izuku.
Bakugo walks in the middle of the two before baring his teeth at her; she doesn't look alarmed at all though.
"I'm not going to steal him!" She rolls her eyes, before pushing the King aside so she can look at Izuku. "I'm Ashido Mina."
"Midoriya Izuku," he mumbles, still not sure what's going on. "It's a pleasure."
"And I thought you told your mother you didn't want to get married..."
"Shut up, pinky!" Bakugo, to Izuku's surprise, gets a little flustered after that.
"Fine," Ashido chuckles. "I'll stop teasing you. So... It's going to be an "I" then?"
The barbarian looks at Izuku for a second before nodding; his cheeks turn slightly pink after that.
Izuku doesn't really know what they're talking about until Bakugo sits on the ground and Ashido kneels next to him before she starts inking a very elegant and beautiful "I" in the middle of his mesmerizing tattoo.
Izuku wonders what it means as he sits on the ground as well to wait for Ashido to finish.
"Oi, nerd! Catch!" Bakugo uses his free hand to toss Izuku one of the necklaces he was wearing just minutes ago. "Put this on."
He's still very much confused, but decides not to ask questions until they're alone again, besides... He's a King and Izuku doesn't want to get in trouble with someone like him.
"Thanks," he mumbles, assuming it's just a gift, maybe Bakugo does actually want to be his friend after all...
"So... When did you two meet?"
"This morning," Izuku answers quickly before Bakugo can say anything. The response makes Ashido stop and look from one to another almost in shock.
Surprisingly, Bakugo blushes... again.
"Aren't you going a little too fast?" Ashido asks, concern written all over her features.
This time Bakugo smirks at Izuku before meeting her gaze, he's not flustered anymore; he looks fiercely determined.
"I've never been so sure about anything in my life."
The answer seems to be more than enough to make her worries vanish because she grins again before continuing with her work.
"I hope you two are very happy then."
"We will," Bakugo grins almost triumphantly at the same time Izuku mumbles a shy: "Thank you!"
The people of that village are weird, but kind.
"You have to see your mother..."
Bakugo huffs and Ashido rolls her eyes, although she looks very amused.
"Who's gonna officiate the wedding then? Besides, you have to introduce Midoriya to everyone..."
Is there going to be a wedding? Is he invited? Why does Bakugo have to introduce him to even more people?
"Fine!" The King huffs again. "Sorry, nerd, your ridiculous adventure will have to wait one more day. The wedding comes first after all..."
So is Bakugo the one getting married? Izuku is even more confused now. But he supposes he can wait a little bit before leaving.
He wonders about the person Bakugo has chosen to get married to. He'll probably meet them soon he supposes...
