Second new Rantaku fic today! (I'm gonna see how many I can get up by midnight) I hope you're all enjoying Rantaku day~
I have a lot fo rantaku fic plots I want to start on, and I wrote like 3 paragraphs for another one, but this is the only one that I wrote enough to publish...

A knock sounded at the door to a large bedroom, echoing through the room.

The sound had surprised the sleeping boy inside, causing him to fall off his bed. The door opened slightly to a maid holding a tray of food.
She ran over the boy on the floor and put the tray on the bed, helping him up,
"Prince Kirino, I'm so sorry to have woke you up!"
Kirino stretched, rubbing his head, "No, no, it's fine. I've been up for hours!" After saying that, he started to fall asleep standing up.
"Prince Kirino?" The maid said with a sigh and Kirino jerked awake again, "I brought your breakfast! It's not much though…" She said with a small frown
Kirino sat on the bed and looked at the tray. All it had was an egg and a roll of bread. He was used to it though. Despite being a prince, Kirino didn't get any gourmet breakfasts while everyone did all his work for him. Unfortunately for him, his kingdom was going bankrupt after the gold mines went dry.
Even the royal family was poor at this point, so even though he was a prince, Kirino still had to do chores, since they couldn't afford to hire a full staff.
The maid bowed to Kirino and headed to the door, "Enjoy your breakfast, Prince Kirino. The queen has also notified me that she'd like to have a talk with you later." Kirino nodded, digging into his small breakfast.

About an hour later, after Kirino had washed the dishes and swept his bedroom floor, he was just relaxing on his bed when he heard someone knock on the door.
"Come in!" He called over.
Kirino's mother, the queen stepped in and walked to Kirino's bed,
"Makura told you this morning that I wanted to talk to you, right?"
Kirino nodded, remembering the maid this morning and his mother continued, "Well, I'm sure you're aware of the economical state of our kingdom. We don't have much money left. But, there's still hope." Kirino looked up to his mother, eagerly waiting for her to continue. She knew a way to save their kingdom!
"You see, I've managed to organize an alliance between us the neighbouring kingdom, who you know is very rich, but it involves you…" She paused, "You see, to make the alliance official, you have to marry the prince of the Raimon kingdom."
If Kirino was drinking something, he would have spit it out, "WHAT!?" He exclaimed, standing up abruptly, "There has to be some other way! I'm not going to just marry some stranger!"
"Ranmaru," His mother scolded, "I need you to understand that this is for the good of the kingdom!"
Kirino didn't respond. He simply faced away from his mother with his arms crossed. The Queen sighed and walked to the door, "I'll leave you to think about it. But with this decision, you don't have a choice."

-In the Raimon Palace-

Prince Shindou Takuto was lazily lounging on his bed in the late afternoon sun that streamed in through the large windows.
It had been a good day for him so far, He woke up, took a long bath before eating his breakfast and then read a book out in the palace's extensive gardens before coming inside for a nap.
Shindou sat up when he heard a knock at the door, "What is it?"
One of the castle workers poked his head in, "Prince Shindou, the Queen wants to see you in the library." Was all he said before scurrying off, back to work.
Shindou sighed, well, there go my plans for a nice nap! He thought, leaving his room and walking down the hall to the library.
The large library doors slowly creaked open as Shindou pushed them aside, entering the large book-filled room. His mother—the queen, was sitting at a desk on the far side staring out the window. When she heard the door opening, she turned to smile at her son,
"Good, you came!" She gestured for Shindou to come closer and the young prince sat down on one of the comfortable chairs in front of the desk.
"I'm sure you're aware that the neighboring Kingdom is going bankrupt." The queen said. Shindou nodded,
"Yeah, I heard some of the maids talking about it."
Shindou's mother continued, "I've accepted their request for an alliance, but the only thing is that something has to be done to seal the deal, and it involves you." She paused, making sure Shindou was paying attention, "You have to marry their prince."
Shindou's eyes widened and he slammed his hands on the table,
"WHAT!?" He exclaimed, "But-"
The queen cut him off, "I'm sorry Takuto, but what's done is done. I've already signed and mailed off the papers to them anyways, there's not going back. You don't have much of a choice at this point."
The queen didn't even try to stop her son as he angrily stormed out of the room.

-Back to Kirino-

It was the middle of the night, but Kirino was wide awake. He was cramming stuff into a simple brown bag, "You just try and tell me I don't have a choice, I'll show you…" He muttered angrily to himself.
Kirino slug his bag over his shoulder and walked to his bedroom door, sneaking down the halls and out the servant's exit of the palace.
He was so angry. He felt like his mother was only using him as a tool to become rich. In his anger, Kirino wasn't paying much attention to where he was going, he was just walking out of town.
He eventually made it into the forest, but blinded by anger, he walked into the woods, even though he'd never been inside the woods once in his entire life.

At the same time, at the other side of the forest, Prince Takuto was also walking through the trees. He held a blue cloth bag and had a somewhat scary scowl on his face.

Kirino found himself in a clearing by the river, and collapsed against a tree. He felt like he'd been walking for hours, even though it had only been about 20 minutes. He couldn't bring himself to stand up again so he just sat there and eventually fell asleep.

Shindou walked through the forests. His feet hurt, but he wasn't going to stop. He wanted to get away from his kingdom, get anywhere other than there. He refused to marry some stranger because of some alliance. How would it benefit his kingdom anyways? It wouldn't! The kingdom of Raimon would just lose money!

The sun was rising and Shindou was about to pass out. He walked into a clearing when he spotted another boy sleeping at the other side.
He had pink hair tied into pigtails and beside him was a brown bag with a beige rope tying it closed.
Shindou wanted to find another place to sleep, since he really didn't want to be around people right now, but he was exhausted, he couldn't possibly take another step!
Shindou sighed, eventually falling asleep against a tree opposite to the pink haired boy.

So how was it? What do y'all think of the idea? Hope you're liking it so far and don't forget to leave a reveiw on the way out!
