Royal Love |Iwaoi, Kuroken, Bokuaka, Tsukiyama |

Chapter Sixteen: Forgotten Past

POV: Akaashi Keiji

"A banquet?" I ask.

"Yes! We're holding one here for Oikawa to find his potential wife and we want you all to come!"

"I'm not sure Bokuto~San. Chizuru would want to come."

"That's fine! I'm sure we can figure something out! I bet other Prince's will be there. Please? I want to see you again! It's been months!"

I sigh. "Fine, I'll talk to the King and Queen."

"Hey hey hey! I like the sound of that!"

I laugh. "Alright Bokuto~San, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye bye, Kaashi!"

I hang up the phone. A banquet huh?

It's been four months since we were in Aoba Johsai. Somehow Bokuto got my number and has been texting me nonstop. Don't get me wrong I enjoy it, but I really wanted to forget. If anything my feelings got deeper. Damn it Bokuto.

Not just me but I think everyone's feelings got deeper. Kenma is talking a lot more and is often on his phone smiling. Nishinoya has been the same but he talks about Asahi a lot. Mattsun has been making more stupid jokes and goofing off. Yamaguchi has been been open about how he feels. But I think one person has been hesitant. Iwaizumi. I can tell he's struggling to talk to Oikawa.

Sometimes when me and Iwaizumi are talking he gets a text or call from Oikawa and he kinda freaks out or sighs. You can tell he's trying his hardest to stay away from the prince but I doubt he can. Oikawa will press on until he gets him.

I walk into the throne room. The King and Queen were talking to Yamaguchi about something. They quickly dismissed him when I enter.

"Keiji, what can we help you with?" The Queen asks.

I get on one knee. "We've been invited to a banquet back in Aoba Johsai."

"Aoba Johsai? Isn't that the place you all stayed a night at then left?"

"Yes your Majesty."

"Keiji, stop being so formal, sit down."

The Queen points at a chair and follow her orders.

"Why do they want you over?"

"Kenma~San had ended up knowing the Prince of Nekoma for a few years. He tends to visit Aoba Johsai often and ended up meeting Kenma~San. So Prince Oikawa invited us to the banquet out of Prince Kuroo's request. He also seemed to enjoy our company, excluding Chizuru."

The King laughs. "I'm glad you found a friend.  That does sound like a good chance for you and Chizuru to find potential wives and husbands. When is it?"

"In three days. So the eighth."

"That sounds exciting! Please go! Go pack! Maybe you can leave early! Like today! Maybe you guys can even stay for a while! Ah! I'm just so happy you made a friend Keiji!" The Queen smiles.

Today? Stay longer? "I can ask."

With that I leave the room and call Bokuto again. After one ring he answers.

"Kaashi!"

"Bokuto~San. Can you give the phone to Oikawa please?"

"Hm? Yeah."

I hear some shuffling before another voice hits my ear.

"Akaashi? Are you guys coming?"

"Yes. I'll bring everyone we did last time. Are you sure you want us to come? Chizuru will be going."
