👑Number 1👑

A/n: HI SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!! My mental health has gone to the gutter so it was hard to sit down and write- this chapter is a bit short but i also need to update my other stories and focus on school and my art aswell i hope y'all's understand :) enjoy love you all! <3

The ball room was filled to the brim with women in poofy or normal dresses. Each different colour fabrics, shapes etc. Women from all across the kingdom just to get a chance to dance with the famous prince.
Shuichi however had already spotted the person he thought looked most beautiful.
Kokichi ouma.
With his reputation however, picking his best friend and new-found crush, dancing with the boy he loved so dearly would never be an option

The red carpet leading to his throne was cleared, a path for the prince. The room was silent exept for the music ibuki was playing. Soft but fitting of a royal introduction. Shuichi gulped and stepped forward, kokichi by his side as they slowly made their way to the throne.

It may have only taken a few minutes but to shuichi that was the longest moment of his life so far. Once they reached the throne shuichi took his seat and tensely sat with his back up straight and his knees together. Kokichi sat on a smaller wooden throne with a red cushion next to shuichi. Unlike the prince, kokichi sat rather casually. His knees were together but his feet were spaced out. His hands were at his sides resting on the arm rests.
The music suddenly stopped and a heavy silence filled the room

Shuichi froze attempting to remember the speech he had rehearsed.
"Ahem...i-i , as you may know am looking for a partner to accompany me during the royal ball this fall. One..lucky... woman of the 600 here today will be chosen to do one dance with me as well as a pass to the rest of the ball all night, you may stick by me as a date.. or be free to roam on your own. The choice is yours. My butler Kokichi Ouma will record your name once you step up and meet me. Good luck"

Everyone in the room burst into applause and the butler began to arrange the women in a line infront of shuichi

"Good job prince! Now all you have to do is talk to 600 people, easy Peasy!" Kokichi looked at shuichi and smiled attempting to reasure the nervous boy  "that didnt help but thanks anyway kichi" shuichi giggled anxiously

"Prince, miss hiroki from the kingdom of adventure" kibbo came up to shuichi presenting a tall woman, around 19 years maybe. Her hair was  a dark purple and her eyes green. Her skin was tan and her dress was purple with a black ribbon around her waist.
The woman bowed and smiled at kokichi "number 1 keishi hiroki from the adventure kingdom" kokichi gave her a nod and wrote it down "w-welcome t0 Hopes Peak kingdom, pleasure to meet you." Shuichi smiled at the girl adjusting his crown "its my pleasure prince! Ive heard such lovely things about you! You sure are as handsome as they say. Even more so actually~" The woman gushed winking at shuichi.

Shuichi was taken aback. Flirting so early in? She was only the first. Shuichi turned to kokichi who had a wide grin on his face. Clearly trying not to laugh. Shuichi scoffed softly and stepped on his foot causing a small snort to escape the purple haired boy's mouth.

"T-thank you hiroki-san.. you look quite lovely yourself" shuichi returned the complement "why thank you! I'm sure you know we dont have much time together so my time is up but i do hope you pick me! Nice to meet you prince~"
And so the girl left smiling in a flirtatious smirk and leaving shuichi to slump on his chair "I'm gonna get hit on arent i" he sighted letting his crown fall on the bridge of his nose "mhm! Prepare yourself prince!" Kokichi giggled in return adjusting shiichi's crown to wich the bluenette blushed.

This is going to be a long night
