rise

"don't be suprised, i will still rise"

(Atsumu being the younger son fits better for au)

"Smile!" The photographer cheered. Osamu and his parents giggled as their smiles arose.

Atsumu stepped off to the side. He was hidden from the public- as no royal needs more than one kid. It hurt sometimes, but that's just how life was. From the second he was born, to the second he dies; Atsumu would never be seen.

"Good job, Osamu," Their father said. "You are going to make a great king someday."

The normal child. Osamu was a blessing. Always behaved, never loud, obident, and good-looking.
No weird features - or secrets to be told about him.

Though, Atsumu grew up an outcast to his family. With the power to control the elements, Atsumu grew up scared of nothing. His parents told him many scary stories that occurred outside of the palace, which only made him being hidden much worse, as Atsumu just grew more intrested.

"Atsumu!" His mother yelled.

He immeaditly ran over, "Yes, mother?"

"I think the Komori Kingdom is coming... go on now!" She whispered then yelled.

Atsumu nodded his head in obience and walked into his room. He stayed in the attic, as even staying on the main floor could get them caught.

As the sun from the early dawn light up his so called "bedroom", Atsumu's eyes flickered open. He quickly got up and got dressed, and headed downstairs. But, something was off. All the workers were huddled up, some crying, some on the floor... it was a mess.

"May I ask what is wrong?" Atsumu asked with a kind voice. "Why is everybody upset?"

"Mr. Miya, your parents are gone! Do you have any idea what happend to them?" A maid said.

Then Atsumu's mothers words appearead in his head: The Komori Kingdom is coming... And everything clicked. His mother knew- but his family is defenseless. "Yes, I know where they are. I am going to save them!"

Everybody looked at him dumbfounded. "By yourself? At least bring the army..." The butler said.

"No. I must go alone. You all will probably never see me again after this."

"Mr.Miya, I wish you would stay. You're too weak to got there by yourself!"

"Give me a chance. See you all soon, or not. Please keep the village in check." And Atsumu ran out the door. Once far enough from his Castle, he began to rise up vines from the trees, to carry him along the way. Some were pointy, which hurt Atsumu, but it was better than walking the whole way.

Once night fell, he decided to climb up into a tall tree and make himself comfortable. He put his arms down, and fell asleep peacefully.

When woken up, he saw an army below him. He attempted to run, before falling down from the tree. Atsumu's tired state made him forget he was up there.

"Who is that?" A distance voice said.

"Look at his clothes- must be royalty."

"Step away," A deeper voice commanded. He walked up to Atsumu, "Look at me."

And the boys made eye contact. Atsumu's eyes widened as the unknown figure took a step back.

"You- You're the king of the Sakusa kingdom," Atsumu muttered. He attempted to shuffle away, before his leg was stepped on.
