"I-I wasn't trying to jump, I swear! I was just—
Wait—Are you sneaking out?!?"

Crown Prince Izuku Midoriya is completely, utterly overwhelmed. Following the tragic passing of the King, Queen Inko has decided the best way to secure the kingdom's future —and distract from her grief —is to throw a grand royal ball to find her son a bride. Every woman between the ages of 20 and 24 is legally mandated to attend. You were forced to go, wearing a hand-stitched, faded hand-me-down dress that screams peasant, yet your flawlessly elegant hair makes you stand out in the worst way possible. Desperate to escape the suffocating pressure, you slip out onto a balcony and begin climbing down the trellis—only to come face-to-face with the panicked, stammering Prince himself, who was actively trying to execute the exact same escape plan.
