Love Story - IwaOi

Chapter 3

Oikawa woke up to the sun glaring on his face. He opened his eyes and squinted to allow them to adjust to the bright light shining into his room from his glass balcony door. I really need to get curtains for that door. Oikawa thought.

Oikawa crawled out of bed and went out to his balcony. He stood leaning out against the railing. There were knights gathered in the garden below. He made eye contact with one of them. Olive green eyes looked back at him. Oikawa smiled lightly and waved to Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi nodded acknowledging Oikawa with a smile on his lips.

"Prince Oikawa your father has requested you," a voice called from the other side of his door.

"I'll be right there," Oikawa called back. Oikawa disappeared back into his room. He got dressed and quickly combed through his hair before making his way to his father's study where the king would no doubt be waiting for him.

Oikawa knocked lightly on the door of his father's study. "Come in," he heard from the other side of the door. Oikawa opened the door and walked in making sure to shut the door behind him.

The king was sitting at his desk that was covered in documents. A document was held in the king's grasp. The king looked away from the document and up to Oikawa.

"Hello Toru. Let's get right down to business," the king said. Oikawa nodded, taking a seat on one of the couches in his father's office curious about the type of business the king wanted to talk about.

"You spent most of the ball with a group of lovely ladies. Did any of them catch your attention?" the king asked. Oikawa grimaced realizing what this about.

"No they didn't," Oikawa said.

"I see. Is there any reason as to why they didn't catch your attention?" his father questioned. Oikawa sighed.

"Most of the girls seemed only to be there to increase their status," Oikawa said. The king sighed.

"You'll have to marry soon. Please keep that in mind. I'm sure whoever wins your heart would be one luck lady. You're dismissed," the king said. Oikawa hid his disappointment as he left his father's office. Why does it have to be a girl? Oikawa wondered.

Iwaizumi dodged the knight that lunged at him. The knights were in the middle of training. The war in the South of the kingdom is beginning to make the kingdom unsafe. They feared an enemy may sneak into the castle and take out the royal family.

Once again the knight went after Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi quickly dodged, but grabbed onto the knights' arm and flung him to the ground. The knight tapped 3 times on the ground signaling their surrender.

"Well done Iwaizumi. All of you are dismissed back to your posts," the commander said. The knights quickly left the training area and headed towards their assigned posts. Iwaizumi went to his as well which happened to be in the garden. The garden just so happened to be overlooked by the Oikawa's balcony. Iwaizumi took his post but his eyes wandered to Oikawa's room. He watched as Oikawa walked into his room seemingly upset. I wonder what upset him? Iwaizumi thought.

Iwaizumi was about to try and get his attention when a maid once again came and got the prince from his room. I'll ask him later if I get the chance. Iwaizumi decided. Wait why do I care so much? Iwaizumi thought. It's because I'm a knight of the kingdom is all. Iwaizumi figured.

The day went by and Oikawa hadn't returned to his room since the maid came and got him. Iwaizumi was still stationed at his post and would remain there for a few hours still. Oikawa's room was dark til the door opened allowing light into the prince's room. In walked Oikawa he shut the door behind him causing his room to envelope in darkness once again. Iwaizumi could barely make out the prince's shadow.
