Inko runs a comb repeatedly through her husband's and son's unruly hair, the one thing that she wished Izuku didn't inherit from his father. At the top of the young avatar's head sits the replica headpiece that Momo made for him, the only part of his hair that actually decided to cooperate with his mother enough to be put into the Avatar's crown. Eventually, Inko gives up on trying to get Izuku's and Hisashi's hair to cooperate with a sigh allowing them to put on their dress shoes and finish getting ready for their journey to the royal palace. Hisashi wears a simple black tux with a red undershirt and gold vest, his breast pocket has a gold handkerchief in it with a gold pocket watch chain hanging down by one of his pockets. Inko had convinced him to get rid of the stubble on his face and his goatee making father and son look nearly identical except for the more toned jawline of Hisashi. Izuku wears the same button up gold dragon shirt that he wore to his and Momo's date, but with a blazer that his mother insisted that he wear.

"Inko, Kenshi isn't one for all sorts of formal crap. He doesn't even light the fires in the throne room when he has delegates and heroes over." Hisashi complains, flopping down on the couch exasperatedly as he's been forced to wear this monkey suit. The number two hero reaches into his jacket pocket then pulls out a cigar.

"You two are not going to the Firelord's palace dressed like peasants. What will they think of us if we show up like it's a social visit? This is important, so quit bellyaching, put your dress shoes on and don't you dare smoke that stogie in my living room." Inko shouts, yanking the cigar away from Hisashi, shoving it into her purse as she slips into a pair of high heels.

"Are we flying on Wamu or are we driving?" Izuku asks, his attention more on his phone than the disagreement between his parents.

"Firelord Kenshi has a limousine waiting for us outside and we're already ten minutes late. So the two of you get your lazy asses off the sofas and outside, we're leaving, now." Inko warns, prompting the Avatar and Bahamut to quickly snap to their feet before rushing outside knowing full well never to get Inko mad. Despite her skinny appearance, the green haired mother could bring hell down on earth when she wanted to.

Luckily, the Midoriya family estate is a bit more isolated from the capital city Tokyo, only a few dozen miles away from the royal palace. Though that didn't stop Kenshi from sending half the royal guard force to provide a military escort for the Avatar and his family. As the family of three steps out of their home, the imperial firebenders bow to the Avatar as they frame the pathway to the motorcade. Beside the limo, a man dressed in a butler's uniform opens the door to the car before giving a slight bow. He motions with his pristine white gloves for them to enter the vehicle, the entire time every single member of the escort is dead silent. Though as the family of three passes by the military men, each of them says a greeting to Izuku using his title as the avatar to do so. Once they're in the back seat of the limo, the balding butler closes the door before returning to the front of the vehicle.

An air of nostalgia is in the wind, a day like this just over twelve years ago Izuku would learn that he is a firebender, now he's the Avatar and dating one of the princesses of the firenation. Much like that day, which feels like a lifetime ago to the young avatar, he sits staring out the window as the countryside, buildings and people go by. In the distance, sky bison, dragons and their riders float along the clouds. Part of him thinks that if he pinches himself he'll wake up an ordinary man in an ordinary world. Though that thought leaves his mind shortly after, his attention being brought to what Momo had spoken to him about the last time they were at school. "When Firelord Kenshi learns that I am dating the Avatar himself, he'll arrange for us to get married." At 16 years old, and barely the avatar for 3 months now, the thought of getting married should be off in the far future. He hasn't even gotten a kiss on the lips yet, much less to first base or even all the way to home plate. Though, Master Gedun said that being the Avatar would speed up his life for a bit, having all those responsibilities is a heavy burden.

Pulling into the courtyard of the firelord's palace Izuku sees the giant statue of Firelord Zuko standing at the forefront of the palace. His arm stretched towards the sky with a massive blaze in the palm of his hand. The limousine comes to a stop in the large round about framing the pond that the statue of Zuko stands over. As it comes to a stop, a servant opens the door allowing Izuku and his parents to exit the vehicle. Along the pathway, a trail of turtle-ducks walk past them causing Inko to smile and gush about the little creatures. Their attention is brought away from the ducks by Momo's father introducing himself. "Welcome, Avatar Izuku. The Pro hero Bahamut, and Doctor Midoriya Inko. I am Prince Tadayori Yaoyorozu, Momo's father. It's a pleasure to meet you three." His introduction causes the small family to immediately bow to the man.

"T-thank you for the introduction." Inko says with a slight stutter. "Thank you for inviting us to the palace."

"The pleasures' mine, it's not everyday you find out your daughter is dating the avatar. Firelord Kenshi wanted to meet with you all personally as he has a proposition that we believe you'll be interested in hearing. Let's head inside, out of the heat and humidity or before the rainy season decides todays the day to earn its name again." Tadayori says with a smile as he turns and leads the family of three into the palace.

The waxed and pristine marble floors shine so brightly that the reflections of the prince, Avatar and family, and guards can be seen across the tiles. Large columns stand every few meters or so and hold up a massive mirrored ceiling over layered in gold. The walls on both sides of the corridors stand with the tapestries of the previous firelord's hanging overhead. The tapestries of Firelord Sozin, Azulon and Ozai had long since been removed, having been replaced with that of Firelord Iroh and Firelord Lu Ten, honored posthumously and Firelord Zuko then his daughter Firelady Izumi and so on. Beneath the spots where Iroh and his only son stand is a plaque detailing the change and why it was done. "May we never forget the atrocities that the former firelords of this once great nation have committed against an innocent nation and the world. Sozin, Azulon and Ozai will be remembered in infamy forever. They shall be an example of what happens when Evil is absolute." Coming to a stop at a set of massive doors, Prince Tadayori motions for Izuku to step forwards in front of the doors. The face of the door is a golden dragon with its mouth open in front of the divide in the door. "It's a flame lock Avatar Izuku. I figured I'd allow you to have the honors." Nodding to the older man, Izuku takes a step forwards to the dragon's mouth. He plants a foot forwards leaning into a right stance, he shifts his weight forwards and throws a strong punch with his left hand feeding a torrent of flames into the dragon's mouth.

The ruby eyes on the reptile light up slightly as the dragon uncoils and stretches out, aligning the seam in the door and along the body of the dragon. The heavy doors rumble slightly as they begin to open inwards to the firelord's throne room. As the doors slide open, the first thing that catches their attention is that the braziers and trough where a wall of fire would usually sit lay empty. Instead the throne room has a large meeting table in the center of the room, with plates and furnishings for a dinner rather than an important meeting. Momo sits beside the firelord himself on her right and the firelady on her left. Around the table are the members of Momo's family with vacant spots for her father and Izuku's own. The firelord stands when he sees the doors open, walking around the table to come and greet Izuku face to face.

"I should have known you'd have Avatar Izuku open the doors, Tadayori. You've always been one for theatrics." With an old voice as smooth as scotch, Firelord Kenshi speaks, addressing his cousin who smirks at the statement. "Welcome, Avatar Izuku. I am Firelord Kenshi." The gray haired man says, extending a hand for Izuku to shake.

"Thank you for inviting us, Firelord Kenshi." Izuku says, shaking the firelord's hand and bowing in the same moment.

"Hey Uncle Kenshi, long time no see." Hisashi says as he embraces his father's best friend in a tight hug. "How's the family?"

"Belligerent and Numerous." Kenshi says with a straight face, before cracking up and snickering. "Who'd have thought that Hikoshiki's brat would be the father of the Avatar. It's been too long since I've seen that geezer."

"I'll send the crotchety old bastard over when I see him and Mom again." Hisashi responds as the firelord leads them to their spots at the table. "What's on the menu?" Hisashi asks, once again thinking with his stomach.

"A personal favorite of mine, steamed langoustine, stir fry vegetables and rice. Some Sake for you and the misses, but we have much to discuss." Kenshi says as he returns to his seat. "While the cooks finish preparing the meal, let's not set the bush on fire."

"What do you have in mind?" Inko asks, as a servant woman comes around and fills their cups with tea.

"I am in need of a successor to the throne of Firelord. While the normal line of succession would go to my brother, he and his sons have stated they don't want anything to do with becoming firelord. While my health is fine, I'm a man in my seventies now and it's time to start thinking about the next life and who will succeed me in this one. I wish for Avatar Izuku to wed Princess Momo, with him marrying into the royal family I will be able to name him the next Lord and Lady of the firenation." While Izuku and Momo don't react, since they knew this was why Izuku and his family were summoned here, both Inko and Hisashi freeze at the statement.

"M-marry off our son to the royal family?!" Inko shouts, her eyebrows pushed as far up on her forehead as they can go. "S-sir what an honor! Oh! Can I help with the wedding plans?! Oh my baby boy is getting married! They grow up so fast!"

"Holy shit, you want to marry one of the princesses and our son?!"

"I didn't stutter did I?" Kenshi asks rhetorically. "One of my forefathers had insisted on marrying his son to a descendant of Avatar Roku, however Ozai and I couldn't be more different. I wish for the avatar to have a place within the royal family as the next firelord and for the lineage coming from him and Princess Momo will be the strongest firebenders to ever be born and to lead our nation. The best defense of peace is a good deterrence, and what better deterrence than a leader whose flame is strong enough that he can bend all the elements to his will."

"I'm honored at your request, Firelord Kenshi, but... I don't think Momo and I are ready for such a big step in our relationship." Izuku says, while he does like the idea of getting married to her, they need more time for themselves first. "We've been on a single real date, we haven't even kissed yet!"

"It's true, while we've spent time with each other in school it's far too early in our relationship for such a huge step." Momo responds, as polite as usual. "I also do not want to become ruler of the firenation, I wish to pursue my career as a hero."

"Come now, I didn't say you'd be married right this second. I wanted to let you choose the date, time and setting. I just wanted confirmation you're agreeing to get married, Avatar Izuku still has all three of the other elements to learn and master. His journey as the avatar has only just begun and neither of you are out of high school." Firelord Kenshi says. "I believe that the year after you graduate from the academy is when the wedding shall be held."

"I think this would work, it allows us to continue to date for four years before then. Izuku and I will discuss the time and day for the wedding. Before the UA University of Heroics entrance exams, he should be a fully realized avatar and I will have mastered firebending." Momo says, her face lights up in an excited and bouncy expression.

"Well it seems she's excited for that. What about my other prospect of taking over as firelord when I'm ready to retire?" Kenshi asks.

"I don't think that's something I want to do. I want to become a hero, like All Might, actually since I'm the Avatar I could be greater than All Might. I have a lot of responsibilities as the avatar, maybe when everything is over and I succeed in being a hero I'll consider it again but at the moment no. I'm sorry." The firelord shrinks slightly at his answer but perks back up as food is brought out for everyone.

"Well, so long as it's not a hard no and that you'll reconsider it one day is fine by me. Well now that the important business is out of the way, let's enjoy our meal." Firelord Kenshi declares as the butlers set down their plates in unison.
