The next day, bakugo woke up feeling more refreshed than ever. He didn't waste anytime lying in bed; instead he hopped up and immediately went through his morning routine. He took his shower, brushed his teeth, did a sorry excuse for combing his hair, and got dressed. As he walked out of his room and threw his home he couldn't help but think of izuku.

Bakugo entered the kitchen area and the maids immediately swarmed him like flies asking what he wanted, but he brushed them all of and said he'd do it himself. He walked over to his food storage closet and looked inside. There wasn't anything in particular that he wanted, but he did see a little green apple. Izuku immediately popped up in his mind and he smiled. He couldn't understand why he had gotten such a warm feeling when izuku kissed him on his cheek the other night. It frustrated him in his mind for not being able to kiss him back, but it made his heart jump at the fact that izuku even did it.

Bakugo picked up the apple and closed the door. He wasn't aware of his mother who was behind it, watching him smile down at the apple.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked and nearly made bakugo jump out of his skin.

"GEEZ, FUCK!" He yelled and turned to his mom. "What?!"

"I said what's wrong with you? You don't smile at anything anymore, so why are you smiling at that apple?" She asked narrowing her eyes at him.

Usually bakugo would be furious that his mom snuck up on him, but he could see in her eyes that there was a point to this conversation. She was trying to get something out of him, and he didn't like it.

He averted his eyes from her gaze and turned from her. "Nothing…it just reminds me of the food on earth is all." Bakugo lied.

"Oh really? So how is earth katsuki?" she asked leaning on the nearest wall. She watched bakugo take a seat at there gigantic table and bite into the apple.

"It's fine." He said simply.

"What do you do on earth?"

Bakugo swallowed a piece of his apple and looked at his mom. "I just like walking threw the forest and touching stuff."

"Really? That's all you do?" when bakugo nodded she got closer to him. She stroked his hair and he let her as he ate his apple. "My son, you know you can tell me anything right?"

"That's not exactly true mom, and we both know it. But everything's fine, you're acting weird." Bakugo grumbled.

"I'm acting weird?! You're suddenly calmer than usual and smiling at apples!" she said and caused bakugo to choke on his apple.

As he spat and coughed, bakugo turned to his mom with watery eyes. "Look! I like earth okay?! Especially because they don't have any stupid rules of living! Everything just lives and all is fine. Earth has so much cool stuff, even the people are great."

"Wait…the people?" mitsuki asked as her hand dropped from bakugo's head.

"…That's what I know from a distance." Bakugo said nervously, he probably shouldn't have said so much.

"Katsuki, did you talk to anyone?" mitsuki asked firmly squinting at her son.

"No, mom." Bakugo said but refused to make eye contact.

"Katsuki Bakugo, if you're lying I swear I'll chop you up and feed you to-"

"Geez, I said I didn't! Get off already!" bakugo cut her off and stood up. "Look, everything's fine. Your precious rules haven't been broken and I'm not talking to anyone on earth."

With that bakugo kissed his mom on the head and left the room and house. Mitsuki was left there alone, staring at the door. She didn't know why but she felt something burning in her heart. Bakugo was acting really strange, as if he's had an encounter that was starting to change him. Mitsuki got up and left the kitchen.

She had to know the truth. She headed for one of the balcony's in her home where she could look down at earth threw the clouds. She knew bakugo was going to visit earth today, she just had to hope she was going to be lucky enough to see exactly which spot he was going in and what he was really up to. She waited patiently, and didn't care if it took all day.

Bakugo ran down to the gates of his kingdom and threw them open. Already waiting there was toshinori, who clearly looked tired.

"What's wrong with you?" bakugo asked walking up to the older male.

"I didn't get to sleep much, the weight of lying to your mom was killing me." Toshinori said and chuckled. Bakugo's ears perked up at this.

"Wait, she was questioning you too?" bakugo asked.

"Yup! She came over the other day after you left and wanted to know what you were doing down there. She probably asked me because I used to head down there a lot myself…" bakugo noticed that toshinori sounded real upset as he said that last part. When toshinori saw bakugo was staring at him he quickly perked up. "And probably also because she let me in charge of you while you're down there, hahaha!"

"Yea…right." Bakugo said and left it alone. "Anyway, she questioned me this morning. I think she's on to me."

"How does that make you feel?"

Bakugo looked down onto earth and thought about the question. He saw izuku, up nice and early waiting for him in the forest and his stomach filled with butterflies and his heat sped up. Bakugo knew he had fallen for this kid, and it was honestly terrifying in so many ways.

"Honestly, scared." Bakugo said. When toshinori gave him a funny look he explained. "The person that I told you I met…I really like him, and if mother finds out…"

"She'll take him from you." Toshinori finished his sentence.

"That's right, or she'll take me from him and ban me from earth." Bakugo said. He suddenly felt a burst of frustration inside of him. He kicked at the clouds and threw his fist in the air. "AAAARGH! STUPID RULES!"

"Young Katsuki, please calm down! What if your mom hears you?!" toshinori worried.

"Who cares?! She needs to know the truth anyway! I hate them! No one's truly able to be free to be themselves and love what they want with them around!"

Toshinori came up next to bakugo and patted him on the back. He honestly couldn't agree more. "It's alright my boy, try not to think about it and have a great day with your friend and enjoy the time you have with him now. Who knows! Maybe your mom won't find out." Toshinori said and bakugo gave him a nod of appreciation for doing this for him.

"Thanks….now push me because I already know you were going to." Bakugo said smirking up at the older man.

Toshinori laughed his great laugh and nodded. "Off you go!" he said as he pushed bakugo off the clouds.

Bakugo went straight down and threw the clouds. He let the wind smack against his face and he smiled when he had gotten so close to earth that he could perfectly make out izuku again.

Bakugo fell upright so he'd land on his feet when the force fully dropped him. When bakugo came close to falling he began to hover before his feet touched the ground. He stood in front of izuku who was sitting on the floor with a wide smile. Bakugo looked into the other boys big green eyes and smiled back.

"Hey."

"Hey."
