Velvet Red

8: Why

       Like his father said Akaashi was constantly being watched by a midwife. Every small movement and Ms. Qwen got on to him. It was always ' you musten take a bath! The warm water could weaken the fetus' or ' you have to wear the appropriate corset'  At this point Akaashi was doing everything in his power to avoid the women. He was tired of being told what to do. All because he had sex with Bokuto and the stupid legend says if he had the Prince's child. It would end badly.
   " Sir! " Qwen called walking down the hallway. The prince heard the voice and quickly ran into the other room. Closing the door he turned putting his back on the door. He gave a small silent sigh hearing the foot steps walk away. He counted 20 seconds before leaving the room.
   " Sir? " A voice questioned. He jumped around seeing kita.
   " Everything alrighty prince Aka- " Akaashi covered the servants mouth.
   " Shh! Ms. Qwen is after me. I just want to take a freaking bath! " He said taking away his hand. Kita nodded.
    "Then I never saw anything " Kita smiled then went on his way. Akaashi sighed finally having alone time.
    " Sir! I told you not to look at ugly people! "
    " Oh stop it! No is never truly ugly! They might be on the inside not the outside! No stop this! I'm not pregnant! And I'm going to take a bath" Akaashi stated then turned on his heals and left.

    Once he had the warm temperature of water he liked. He got in. A satisfying sigh leaving his lips. He sank into the tub taking in a deep breath. He let it out when he felt a pain in his stomach . 
    " Those damn pickled plums I had to eat " He scoffed rolling his eyes. Though he was a bit paranoid by everything. And these stomach pains didn't help. He brushed it off though.

    Once he was clothed the prince was called to his father's study.
    " Sir " Akaashi bowed.
    " You remember our deal? " The king asked.  Akaashi giving a nod.
    " You're two weeks are gone. It's now one. You have three days or-"
    " You'll use me as bait, and you capture the prince.. Sending him to trial and then execution " Akaashi looked at his feet.
    " Good" The king smiled.
    " And the midwife has brought to my attention you're avoiding her. And going against what she tells you-'
     " Cause it's all stupid! Not bathing! Not looking at people you say are 'ugly'! Wearing a certain corset! For all what? A hunch? We have no proof that I'm carrying Kōtarō's child! And if I was! I sure as hell wouldn't tell you! I still wouldn't listen! I'd run away! And start a new life with my love away from a bastard like you-" Akaashi cut himself off. The king walked over to his son grabbing his chin.
    " You don't speak to your king in that tone! I should keep you away from that monster you're 'in love with'!  Now I want you out of my site. Or you better pray to out God. That I don't kill that man in front of you. Then if you do have his child I'll have it killed while you watch! NOW GET OUT OF MY SIT YOU MISTAKE! " The king yelled pushing his son away. Akaashi wanted to say more. But for the safety of Bokuto he left the room.
