Prince vs. Prince.

ᴠɪɪ. ʀɪᴋᴜ ᴠs. ғᴜᴊᴜ.

Hokuto arrived at school with Itsuki. It's not the first time because Riku and Itsuki have always insisted on driving him to school and home since the first day. He went straight to his classes first since most of his friends are not his classmates.

Time flies fast and it's already noon and at the same time, his classes have ended. He was on his way to the library to do some research for his homework when he saw some students running. He got curious, so he followed them and ended up at the South Wing.

"What is happening?" He asked a student and he pointed at Riku who seemed to be talking to someone. He squeezed himself into the crowd but his eyes widened when he heard the other person's voice.

"What are you doing here?" He immediately approached Fuju but a hand stopped him. He looked at the person who stopped him and it was Shogo.

"Let's go to my office now." Shogo said in a firm voice, feeling his anger with the way he held his wrist.

"No, wait." He pulled his wrist from him and he almost stumbled down when Fuju grabbed his hand and pulled him closer.

"Stop touching him." He looked at Riku and felt how he was using his authority as the First Prince of Royal High. Riku got his other hand and pulled him gently.

"I want to talk to him." Fuju pulled him again and it looks like they are playing tug war. He looked at the two and when he tried to pull his hand away from Fuju, he just felt him tightening his grip.

"Hokuto doesn't want to talk to you." Riku rebutted and he looked around. He is looking for Itsuki. Why is he looking for him when Riku is there to protect him from Fuju?

Even though they were surrounded by lots of students, he quickly saw Itsuki behind them. He stared at his eyes as it looked like they were talking. Itsuki smiled at him and nodded his head. He saw him mouthed, "I love you." He almost cried. What did he do during his past lifetime for him to have two guys who love him so much?

"Riku, I will talk to him but.. not here. I want to talk to him alone." He shifted his gaze to Riku and he saw him sigh.

"In my office, is that fine?" Riku asked and he nodded his head. He looked at Fuju and pulled his hand away once more.

The students around them started to disperse and he heaved a sigh of relief to know that they don't have any intention to know what they want to talk about. This is one of the good things that the students of Royal High have. If it happened in public, it will always be public news but if it happened in private, they will not talk about it. Only those who like to gossip are the ones who always talk about it but as long as the First Prince ordered not to talk about the news, they will never talk about it.

Fuju gained so much attention since he is wearing a different uniform and also, he got the chance to get inside the Royal High. He already got a hunch that it is Itsuki who let him get inside and he wants to curse him for that but also, he is thankful that he will be able to talk to him for a while.

Riku opened the door of his office and saw that Likiya, Zin and Kaisei were there. He gestured to the three to get out for a while and Hokuto bowed his head before getting inside with Fuju. He looked at them and realized that he has fifteen guards who will protect him from Fuju if ever something happened.

Hokuto finally closed the door and the first thing happened is Fuju hugged him. For the first time, he wished that it is Itsuki or Riku who is hugging him right now. The tears he is trying to stop from falling a while ago is now freed.

He is confused. Does he want to hug him back or does he want to push him away? In the end, he chose neither of the two. He saw him crying as well. Are those fake or real tears? Why is he crying?

"What do you want to talk about?" He placed his bag down on the couch but he didn't bother to take a seat. They will not take too much time talking after all.

"I want you back." Those words rang in his ears. After two years, he wants him back? Is he playing with him or what?

"After two years, Fuju. You cheated on me! Why did you do that?! I gave everything to you! Everything I had! And now, I have nothing for myself! Give those back to me! I want to love again but I can't! I'm already scared!" He cried hard while hitting Fuju's chest with his fists as he was trying to hug him tighter.

The fifteen people outside the room heard all of those. Hearing Hokuto's cries and feelings that he kept for two years, they finally heard it all. They started to contemplate. What if they are the ones in Hokuto's shoes? How painful is it that the reason why you can't love is your past? They never got cheated on and because of Hokuto, they can feel it a little, the pain he is experiencing because of it.

For Shogo's part, it is very painful. He is Hokuto's best friend and if he just realized that Fuju will cheat on him, he should have stopped him from having a relationship with him. He blames himself for that. He feels that he failed as Hokuto's best friend. How come he didn't see this coming?

"What did you see in that girl that I don't have?! Just because I'm a guy, it doesn't mean you can cheat on me! I loved you but why did you do this to me?!" Hokuto's cries are getting harder and they want to ambush them already.

"I think, that's enough of a talk." Riku opened the door and Shogo rushed in to take Hokuto away from Fuju.

"I will take him back." Fuju said but Riku stood in front of him. He is much larger than Fuju but the younger is not letting his guard down.

"You can't. I heard that you are the captain of your school's soccer team. If you want to have Hokuto back, you need to defeat me in soccer." Fuju's glare is getting intense and he just gave him a subtle smile.

"We will have the competition tomorrow. Here. Is that fine? One on one." Fuju clenched his fist tight and lifted his chin to look at Riku with a smirk.

"Sure. I'll be back here tomorrow." Hokuto can feel his heart beating fast, feeling scared that Fuju might win the competition.
