It was a rather quiet morning in the shirayuri kingdom, and the sun was rising ever so beautifully, shining through the windows and hitting Shiro’s face as he woke up, sitting up properly and stretching his arms from a good night’s sleep.
The kuroyuri family was staying for a while, like how they often did when the king and queen of both kingdoms has important manners to discuss. And Kuroi was only then waking up as well, getting up and neatly fixing the bedsheets of the guest room he was staying in for the week.
The two princes made their way down to the dining hall, where their parents had seemed to already be, discussing matters of their own as the blonde and violet haired prince’s entered, sitting down a small distance away from the others as to not accidentally listen in.
the rest of the breakfast went well, they all ate in silence with occasional chatter back and forth, and by the time everyone was done, their parents all left, leaving Kuroi and Shiro alone in the dining hall.

“did you sleep well, Kuroi..?” *The blonde eventually asked, tilting his head curiously before receiving a reply from the other.
“..i slept fine, but did you?” Kuroi asked, getting a nod from the blonde “good good..” he said before his gaze wandered off, looking around the dining hall
“would you maybe like to go to the garden? maybe talk a bit? since there isn’t much to do anyways…” Shiro couldn’t help but ask, looking at the other as they met gazes
“…sure.”
.

The two entered the garden together as they walked through the fields in a comfortable silence before they reached a small pond.
Shiro let out a small groan before lying down on the grass, stretching his arms and legs as he earned a small chuckle from the other.
“Still tired?” Kuroi asked as he sat down beside the blonde, Shiro nodding in response “there’s nothing to do..!!! all i could think about was gardening or sewing- but those are just not perking my interest right now…” He whined, sitting up properly “i swear- it’s like every time our parents are discussing stuff it just gets more boring here…”
“..mn, but do you not get bored easily? last time i checked- when you pick up a new hobby it gets boring rather fast for you.” Kuroi replied bluntly, getting another annoyed groan from the blonde “…w-whatever-!!” Shiro exclaimed, as he crossed his arms
they talked for a while, asking each other random questions, occasionally moving spots around the garden before Shiro eventually asked something that for once- had the other stop and think.
.
.
.
“do you… ever wish that eventually someone will come and- i-i don’t know… change the boringness of the world..?”
.
.

If Kuroi were to be honest, he had occasionally thought about it… having someone who could make your day feel better without even trying… but for some reason, he felt like he already had that, yet- he couldn’t exactly place his finger on who it was that made him feel this way.
it took a while before he replied. “…i’ve… thought about it before… but- i sometimes feel like i already have that someone with me… i just have to figure out who it exactly is…” Kuroi said, Shiro tilting his head in curiosity
“is that so..?” he intrigued, glancing down at the grasss “..you know- i- for some reason have felt the same way… so i understand.” he added, Kuroi only nodding in response- before something finally hit him. The violet haired looking up a bit from the ground to look at the other
…
“…You- wouldn’t have happened to notice that- it happens a lot during my visits.. would you..?” Kuroi spoke in a tone which seemed almost like he got his hopes a bit high- as if he had figured something out
“would that not mean…-?”
“…do you like me..?” Kuroi interrupted him, making the blonde look up at him, a tiny blush appearing on his cheeks “w-what are you implying..?!” Shiro asked “do you, or not Shiro..” Kuroi pushed further, stepping closer
.
.
.
.
.
“…i-…”
“…i do.”
That was all Kuroi needed to hear, before he stepped forward and reached a hand up to cup shiro’s left cheek
“so i guess… the feeling has been mutual the whole time.”
“…yeah…”
“…may i?” Kuroi asked out of nowhere, bringing his face a bit closer to the other’s
“…yeah”
was all shiro said before Kuroi leaned in, gently kissing Shiro on the lips as his hand moved to his hair, tangling his fingers in it as Shiro gave in and relaxed into it, before they pulled away.
Kuroi couldn’t help but give him another gentle kiss, but this time on the forehead, getting a small scoff from the blonde
“you’re lucky i don’t mind your affection that much..!” shiro mumbled, a chuckle leaving Kuroi
“i guess that makes me special then, Hm~?”
THE END..!!!!
