Prince vs. Prince.

It is the last day of the festival and everyone is getting busier. Students are practicing for the dance night later. Hokuto was currently at Shogo's office when Takahide and Ryu came. Yamasho is out and taking care of some things.

"Have you seen Itsuki's fiancée already? We saw them getting out of the Principal's Office. It seems the girl is already a student here." Ryu said and since they are oblivious about the real score between Hokuto and Itsuki, Shogo just shook his head.

"Maybe he will introduce her to us soon. He is the first one to get engaged among us after all." Hokuto simply said while he was reading the newspaper.

Shogo looked at him worriedly but he didn't speak anymore since Riku is always there for his best friend. Hokuto put down the newspaper when he felt his phone vibrating. Riku is calling him.

"Moshi moshi?" He said once he answered the call. A small smile appeared on his lips and he stood up to go to the South Wing. He gestured to Shogo that he would just go out for a while and the younger one nodded his head.

He is wearing his pastel peach uniform that time, so it is easy for the other students to notice him. He was still on the phone when he met Itsuki and his so-called fiancée in the hallway.

"I'll be there in a few minutes." He said to Riku before ending the call. He smiled at the new couple and continued walking to the South Wing but Itsuki stopped him by holding his arm.

He looked at the two once more but he pushed Itsuki's hand away from his arm gently. The girl smiled at him and bowed her head. The girl is innocent, he can tell. So, he bowed his head at the girl as well and smiled back.

"Konnichiwa. I'm Hokuto. I'm Riku's boyfriend. It's nice to meet you." He introduced and he saw Itsuki's eyes getting red, and seemed to be trying his best to stop his tears from falling.

"Konnichiwa. I'm Yuriko. I'm Itsuki-san's fiancée. It's nice to meet you, too, Hokuto-san." The girl gave him a wide smile and he couldn't help but to feel sarcastic.

Indeed, the girl did nothing wrong to him but as long as this girl exists in this school, he will feel the bitterness that Itsuki made him feel. He tried to look friendly to the girl, so he quickly excused himself since he needs to go to Riku's office, which is true after all.

"Fiancée, huh." He mumbled while slowly approaching Riku's office.

He remembered the promise ring that Itsuki gave to him but he let Shogo take care of it instead. If he will be the one who will throw it away, he might not just let it go easily and also the feelings he has for Itsuki.

"Doushitano?" He asked when he finally arrived at Riku's office. Riku smiled at him and gestured to come closer. He noticed that the others are not around, so he took a seat on the space besides Riku.

"Let's attend the dance night later. Let's have fun, hm?" Riku said and he rested his head on his shoulder. The older pulled him closer and wrapped his arm around him before placing a kiss on his forehead.

"I saw his fiancée. They look good together." He mumbled and then, he buried his face on Riku's neck. He is trying his best not to be affected by the fact that Itsuki is already engaged to someone they barely even know.

Even though Hokuto is not telling anything about that matter, all of them are worried about him. Itsuki chased him for more than a year and now, they will just know that he is already engaged. They even remembered how the two left the cooking show that time but they decided not to speak about it anymore.

He is not supposed to be affected by it but since something happened between them that night, he is already attached to the man. They shared a night. They exchanged I love yous. They got promise rings. The stars and the moon witnessed their love for each other. At this point, all he can think is that Itsuki is worse than Fuju.

Riku doesn't want to add more since he knows that Itsuki has a reason why it happened. The younger one is always quiet. He barely opened up to everyone. He is always alone with Mars whenever he is at home. He is sure that Itsuki is also suffering but he can't admit it nor express it unlike Hokuto. Ever since Hokuto chose Itsuki, he knows that he will never be able to replace him in Hokuto's heart. He will be just a support to Hokuto when he falls.

"It's almost lunch. Let's go to the cafeteria?" Riku placed another kiss on his temples and Hokuto looked at him before smiling and nodding his head.

Riku received a message from their friends that they are already at the cafeteria and it seems Itsuki will finally introduce his fiancée since the girl is also there. The two went out of the office and after a few minutes, they finally arrived at the cafeteria.

The Twin Princes made sure that Riku and Hokuto would not sit next to the engaged couple. Yamasho made sure that he would be there once Itsuki introduced his fiancée, so he halted his work and went back to school.

The staff served the food and drinks on the long table and they waited for them to finish it. Everyone got silent when Itsuki cleared his throat. He stood up and the girl also stood up.

"Minna, this is Yuriko-san, the heiress of Shimizu Firm Industries." The girl smiled widely at everyone and bowed her head. Hokuto noticed the diamond ring on Yuriko's finger and Itsuki saw this.

"I'm Shimizu Yuriko. I'm Itsuki-san's fiancée. I hope we can be all friends." Hokuto doesn't know if this girl is acting innocent or if she also has horns that seem to be hiding. He forced a smile at the engaged couple.

All of them found this lunch so awkward because ever since Hokuto came, Itsuki didn't take his eyes off him. They can feel the tension forming between Hokuto and Yuriko. It is impossible for Yuriko not to know that something happened between Hokuto and Itsuki since everyone in Royal High knows how head over heels Itsuki is with him.

"Let's have a toast for the engaged couple." Hokuto suddenly said and took the glass of champagne that the staff served for them. The older people can clearly hear the sarcasm with his words and they can't help but to feel amused that Hokuto is showing his evilness in front of the two.
