POV: Yamaguchi Tadashi

Dinner was weird. It was kinda silent. Bokuto was quiet and Nishinoya was guarding so he wasn't here. Something was up.

I mean Kenma, Tsuki and Iwaizumi normally don't talk unless spoken to. Asahi and Mattsun tend to have small talk with us. Makki and Bokuto normally are chatting away, but it's silent. It's only been a day but that's what Makki told me.

"Yeah normally me and Bokuto laugh our asses off and Asahi groans. He sometimes joins in but Tsukishima here stays silent."

"Huh, I mean back at the palace Nishinoya is the talker. Mattsun joins in sometimes and so do I but not often. Kenma and Iwaizumi barely talk unless you make them."

"I guess lunch will be interesting."

But no one is talking. It's no way like how it was at lunch. Someone needs to break the silence. Come on Makki or Bokuto.

"Ok, I'm tired of this, what's up with everyone?" Makki breaks the silence.

Thank god.

"Hm?" Bokuto looks up.

He seemed dazed. He was picking at his food and staring off.

"Bokuto? What's wrong you're always yelling about something. So what's with the silence? I mean I get the rest of us but still, you're always talking!"

You can tell Makki was worried but so was Asahi. He had panic written all over his face. I even got nervous. I've known Bokuto for a few hours but he was basically nonstop talking.

"I have something on my mind, that's all."

"Ooo! Spill Bokuto. Obviously you're mad crushing if they got you dead silent. So who is it? It's someone from Fukurodani, right?"

Bokuto looked up, basically confirming it.

"How'd you know?"

Makki laughs.

"It's obvious. They show up and now you're all spacing out and what not. So who is it? One of the guards? Maybe it's Yamaguchi over there?"

I panic and look at Bokuto who's shaking his head. It's silent again before Makki speaks up.

"You can't Bokuto. You know that."

"I know but I want to try!"

And now I'm confused. Actually everyone is.

"Wanna share what you two just had a supernatural connection about?" Mattsun asks.

"Put it together Mattsun. If Bokuto isn't crushing on a guard or butler who's left?"

It was silent. If he's not crushing on one of the guards or butlers then he must be crushing on... Oh no.

"Prince Akaashi." Asahi says.

Someone had to say it.

"Bokuto he's a prince! You can't! He has to get married to royalty in the future! It'll only hurt!"

"Makki's right. You can't fall for a prince Bokuto. You have no chance. He's a higher class than you." Tsuki says.

"Who cares?"

We all turn to Kenma.

"I mean it. Who cares? If Prince Akaashi feels the same you can't complain. I think Bokuto has a chance."

"I agree with Kenma. I won't lie, I've taken a liking to that idoit of a prince, Oikawa." Iwa adds.

This shocks us all.
