Queen Yashiro and the Forbidden Love

Chapter 5: The Other Boy

Third Person: Kou Minamoto
—————————————————————————-
It was fun hanging out with the Princess.
She had there's adorable eyes and.. cute legs.
But it's just..
The boy only had one problem.
"Did he love her?"
As she had said, neither wanted this. It was forced, but a spark of him felt already attached to such a figure.
It was clear, though, she didn't feel such.
as the two parted for the night, he wandered back into his room, shutting the door and turning on the light. He then opened the closet, signaling with his hand something...

And out a boy came, one with pink hair and eyes to match.
"Ugh, finally, Cheeto Pants, I was tired of being in that goddamn closet!!"
"Chill, okay, you know I had to-"
"I had to.. protect you."
"Yeah..."
The unnamed boy looked away, sighing and smiling.
"I'm grateful for that. I really am. But..

WHY IN THE CLOSET YOU STUPID ASS CHEETO PANTS?!"
"I don't know, my parents never check there, I guess?!-
"Anyway, anything you wanna do tonight, Mitsuba?"
"Uh, sleep, dumbass."
"Really-?"
"I mean, I guess I could get some photos first?"
"Probably best. You've been stuck in that closet all day, haven't you?"
"Thanks to you, Cheeto."
"Well-"
(Okay. I get it. You're screaming at me through the screen on how awkward this is.)

The boy known as Mitsuba walked around the room with his camera, photoing every shiny object he saw.
Kou watched him and his every move. He wasn't sure why, he just felt as if it was his job.
Protect Mitsuba.
Don't let him go.
Not ever.

And why was that?
Why was the prince so invested on protecting the camera man?
His first friend.
One that wasn't royalty.
One that didn't boss him around.
One that didn't care wether he wore a crown and a suit, or a t shirt and hat.
One that.. liked him for who he was deep inside.
