Haikyuu (Sakuatsu) Oneshots

Middle Of The Empty Castle

Looking from afar, He watched as the blonde prince conversed with a prince from another land. The prince smiled as they walked over to a balcony, gradually dissapearing from the crowd.

"Your grace, the duke, The Marquis has some matters to discuss."

The curly, dark-haired duke glanced at the attendant and nodded, motioning for him to move and lead the way.

He searched for the blonde prince one last time. Once his eyes landed on the prince who was happily talking to his brother and the prince from another land, he sighed and soon followed the attendant.

Warm sunflower fields, The flowers dancing with the wind, A young Kiyoomi remembered the words of his late mother, A concubine of the great duke of Itachiyama.

"You must protect those whom you love, like how I protected you here. My time has come, Choose what you think is a fitting path that leads to you protecting your loved ones"

That was one of the first time the young boy ever experienced emotions such as deep sadness, hatred, fear, worry and confusion.

As he was exposed to reality from a young age, the naivety he originally had dissipated into Pessimistic thoughts.

His hands gradually was soaked with blood as he fought for the right of succession to the Duke's seat. Killing all his half-siblings and those who were allowed to get legitimacy.

He still remembered the first time he killed a human with his own hands, trembling all over, the feeling of vomit and the nightmares he experienced.

It made him shudder.

Soon as he was knighted to be the Sword of the kingdom, He saw a boy, so opposite to him.

Free-spirited, Bright and Innocent. Those were the first words he thought of. He was loved by his family and everyone around him, he didn't have to fight for any rights of succession, shed blood to those who coveted the right of legitimacy.

Such pureness that makes one want to Corrupt.

Everytime Kiyoomi went to meet the king he would always see Atsumu On the way, to the point it's become a habit to look for the prince whenever he went.

They didn't converse much, just exchanging formal greetings.

The attendant knocked on the door of a  room, Opening it when he heard the person Inside yell a word pf approval.

"Ahh, Your Grace, Duke Sakusa!, It has been a while since I've seen you, How have you been?"

The with frosted tips yelled with a large grin on his face, he motioned for Kiyoomi to seat.

"Akaashi! Would you mind getting us some snacks along with these drinks! Thanks in advance. "

Kiyoomi looked at the attendant nod from his peripheral vision before focusing his gaze at the man who still had a large grin on his face.

"Marquis..." Kiyoomi nodded a greeting. "Why exactly did you call me over?"

"boo! You really dont like beating around the bush do you, Duke Sakusa?" The Man pouted, regaining his posture when Kiyoomi glared at him.
