Tsukasa pov

I was flabbergasted when I heard the news about the arranged wedding...
⭐"An arranged wedding.."
tenma dad"yes that's right an arranged wedding is perfect for you! My son"
⭐"..."
I really don't want to get married by a stranger but who am I to argue with this decision instead of objecting to it.. I silently walked away from the conversation.
Maybe it won't be so bad? Getting married to a girl I barely know.. I guess that's how my father met my mother so maybe it won't be so bad!
🎹"Tsukasaa are you alright with the decision?"
Saki catches up to me and taps my shoulder
I smile weakly
⭐"Yeah..! I heard she was nice so I think I'll be alright!"
🎹"Well tomorrow we'll have dinner with the girl family and all make sure you really think through this!!"
⭐"Haha don't worry saki.. this will be fine I'm certain!"
🎹"Alright then.."
With no other word I left and collapsed on my bed.
It'll be alright..

I hope.

Later that night the otori family arrived and everyone was settled in at the dinner table
While the parents discussed the marriage I took the opportunity to talk with the women I was marrying .
⭐"So uh.. excited?"
🍬"Uh sure..! If my family is happy then I am too!!"
⭐"My name is tsukasa tenma"
🍬"I'm emu otori! Nice to meet you!!"
⭐"Likewise, so why did you agree to the wedding?"
🍬"I didn't.. I.. kinda being forced too.."
⭐"Huh oh.. I get that.. I'm sorry they force you into this.."
🍬"It's alright.. to be honest.. I have my heart set on someone else..but I guess that isn't possible now."
I was shocked by her words.. I wanted to comfort her but I noticed tears started to fall out of her eyes as she turned away and tried to hide her crying face..
I couldn't say anything as well.. it's not that she's not pretty nor nice it's just I couldn't feel anything towards her and she obviously doesn't like me either.. what should I do.. I don't wanna marry her she loves someone else there no way I could just take someone else girl like this
⭐"I'm sorry.. please excuse me!!"
I rushed out of the castle and ran in the town.. I just needed to clear my head or something this.. no everything about this wedding isn't right

Huh where am I? I looked around and I realized I was in the sketchy part of the town.. oh no I should not be here. I looked around for a place to hide for a bit because I saw some sketchy people coming this way..
Oh over here.. weekend garage? There were so many people then I saw people singing they were pretty good..
They finally stop singing and walk over the bar and sit there chatting about some stuff
I should probably leave.. but before I could leave, some guy walked in and yelled out
Some guy"SHINONOME! I HERE FOR YOUR HEAD!!"
the guy pushed me aside and walked straight towards to the person who was sitting with his crew
He smiled deviously while the guy was frustrated
🥞"Awwh what's wrong? Were you upset that I beat your little friends.."
Some guy"you got some attitude.. I am here for revenge"
🥞"This will be a waste of my time"
Some guy"what's wrong? Afraid you'll lose??"
The ginger haired smile fades away as he looks at that guy seriously
🥞"Fine. I'll play."
🎧"Eh?? But akito-"
🥞"Don't worry. This won't take long."
I wonder what will they play.. maybe I should watch for a bit then I'll head back
☕"Remember akito, keep calm and put on a straight face"
🥞"I know"
Poker? Gambling? What are they going to play as I got closer to look they put a some sort of a gun on the table and I was flabbergasted.. I really shouldn't be here but why am I so curious?
☕"There's 5 empty and 1 rows. You both get two shuffle for each round and get one item for every passing round"
Are they really going to play this.. wait is the gun for real.. I felt a little hyperventilate from watching this..
Some guy"heh this will be easy."
🥞"Don't count on it."
☕"Now head or tails?"
Some guy"head!"
🥞"Tails"
The blueish black-haired took out a coin and flip it
☕"Tails."
Some guy"hahaha well I guess this one was fast!"
🥞"Luck is always on my side so I wouldn't be so cocky if I was you"
Some guy"your bluffing"
The ginger haired took the gun and shuffle it
🥞"I already what will happen you should quit now before things get messy for you"
Some guy"as if!"
He point it onto himself and pull the trigger..
.
.
.
Nothing happened.. for some reason I sighed of relief
The other guy was frustrated as he took the gun and start shuffling it
🥞"I wouldn't do that if I was you"
Some guy"shut up!!"
The guy pointed the gun on his head and pull the trigger.
.
.
A huge gunfired was heard and the smelled of blood was present..
I open my eye to a horrific scene.. as the guy falls out of his chair.. this is horrible the people who were watching started to cheer.. what is wrong with these people
⭐"I-i need to get out of here.."
Some guy pushed me forward as I fall down near the dead guy I saw his horrified face and started to scream
⭐"AHHH!!"
I got up terrifyingly and started to panic
As the people who were playing the game comes closer
🎧"Who the hell is that guy"
🐹"Is he okay?"
🥞"Yo random are you alright.- wait.. why he dressed so weird.."
⭐"U-uh I.."
☕"Wait.. isn't he the prince.."
The room went silent at the blueish black-haired words.. and everyone gaze on me..
I felt terrified I shouldn't have stayed..
⭐".."
Random guy"hey I heard he's quite valuable right??"
I felt like I was back into a corner as the people were closing in on me.. this is the end for me I cover my eyes until I felt someone hand pulling me away from the crowd
I open my eyes and it was the ginger haired guy. He took my hand and start to run out of the place
🥞"Sorry fellas but he isn't yours to get!"

We kept running and running until he finally stop at some sort of field
I took time to catch my breath
🥞"I don't know why a prince like you were at a place like that but don't ever come back there."
⭐"B-believe me! I won't.."
🥞"And don't tell anyone what you saw there aswell.. otherwise there'll be problem.."
⭐"Are you threatening me!!"
🥞"I was just joking chill"
⭐"Hey.. why did you saved me..?"
🥞"No reason. I just felt like it"
For some reason hearing his word make my face warm..
⭐"Thank you.. for that."
🥞"Yeah.. don't mention it uh"
⭐"Tsukasa tenma! Nice to meet you"
🥞"...akito shinonome."
Despite how scary he was back then.. he was genuinely kind.. I should head back home.
⭐"It's late! I should head home!"
🥞"No shit.. get home safely princess"
⭐"Pr-princess?!? Hey!!"
Shinonome laughs a little then he jumped up to a tree and threw a apple at me
I cought it before it could hit me
🥞"Back then at the crowd you look like a princess in distressed so I gave you a nickname"
⭐"Well I don't appreciate it!!"
I wanted to argue more but it's was getting way late so instead of argue I stick out my tongue at him and run off

While running back home.. for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about him.
I wanted to see him again.
