A/N: Okay, I love TaiShirou more than YamaShirou, or even TaiTo. But I support the coupling. I love their trio, so if Taichi could like Yamato (TaiTo) and Koushirou (TaiShirou) then Yamato should be able to like Taichi (YamaChi) and Koushirou (YAMASHIROU, which this is.) Besides, Yamato and he did find their crest together. But this isn't about that. This is an AU, meaning no digimons and whatnots just the characters. This is inspired by the Manga ROYAL FIANCE, which is not mine. I do not claim it as mine either. None of this is mine except the idea to DIGIDESTINEDize it. If you get the chance, read the Manga and see the difference from my fic to that.

I am in love with Koushirou myself, Hence paoSHIROU, but I prefer him being an uke with guys.

Royal Fiancé

Chapter One: Buttage

Prologue

"Listen carefully," The serious, deep voice begun with an undertone that causes Koushirou to shiver. "Starting today, you're my fiancé bought with money."

This man is…

"Defending one's honour before the Royal Prince and Princess' wedding is our country's regulation."

A Prince from a dreamlike country…

"Committing a stupid infidelity before an Imperial Consort's bridal entry into court couldn't be forgiven." The man turned away from the red head and begun to walk towards a certain direction, as if there was nothing more to be said; as if… The red-head couldn't say anything of protest.

"Come now," He said, more of a command than an invitation.

"Ah…" Koushirou had his mouth opened, but he couldn't say a word more. What could he say, though? It sounded as if there was no way out of this. Fiancé…? He pondered, anxious. But I come to work as a tutor…

It all Began 2 days ago…

"They say the operation will be performed next week, mo— auntie," Koushirou spoke as he set the flowers he brought on a vase. "So, don't think much about it, okay?" He added with a smile as he turned to the woman on the hospital bed.

"Dear, I told you before; it's okay if you call me mom, even if I am your aunt. I adopted you as my son after all," the woman smiled slightly then it disappeared. "But… Are you paying all the surgery charges, Koushirou?" Worry lines creased her face. "How will you get so much money…?"

"I've found a nice part-time job and got an advanced payment."

His aunt-turned-mother frowned. "Perhaps it's some kind of a shady job?" She said suggestively with a dark undertone. Koushirou stiffened a bit with a weird frozen smile on his face.

"Well, I'll see you same time tomorrow; after school—"

"Koushirou!"

He left outside, and glanced at his watch as if waiting for something.

Koushirou's POV

Now… I live in the school dorm. My parents died in a car crash years ago when I was just born shortly before the crash, that's how I lost them but didn't know it till much later in my life.

My Uncle and Auntie, who are my only known relatives, adopted me as their own and paid for all my tuition fees, like parents usually do. That's what I thought they were: my parents. The resemblance was so close; you wouldn't think they were my foster parents. But I guess I was just lucky; lucky to have been adopted back to an Izumi line.

But recently my Foster Father passed away and it causes my poor, kind-hearted Mother to go through a collapsed and go to the hospital… Well, now because of my part-time job is a tutor or computer repairman to random people I don't even know, and mother is very overprotective of me she didn't feel comfortable about me meeting strangers, let alone talk to them. Because of this job, I have to quit school and get out of the dorm.

"There's no way I can tell her, right?" I said to myself. Although I would miss getting an education terribly, I had to make sure my mother would get better. She's all I have left…

Besides, it surely is suspicious…

END of POV

Before those two days ago…

Koushirou was walking along the streets with some groceries when he saw an old man looking through a map and he seemed rather troubled. He decided to walk up to him. As he approached the man turned his head to look at him.

"Daijoubu?" He asked in Japanese, taking the man's hand. They looked at each other for a moment.

The man asked a question in another language.

Ah, the man is foreigner. But… Maybe he can understand English? "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were foreigner. Do you speak English? Can I help you at all?"

"Yes, I speak English and I would appreciate the help, young man. I am called Gennai."

Afterwards, the red-head offered to guide him to the place he needed to go. It wasn't near, in fact, it was a long way off from where Koushirou had to go.

"Young man, accompanying me to a place this far, weren't you on an errand?"

Koushirou smiled politely. "Please, don't worry," He said. "Because we should help each other in times of trouble."

The old man seems to smile, a tad smugly. Like he was plotting something. "I like to ask a special favour from you…"

Koushirou listened politely as the man continued.

"Actually, an acquaintance of mine is looking for a tutor. Like me, he hasn't been in Japan that long and can only speak a bit of it. You seem well-educated since you can speak English rather well, and he would love it if someone like you came to apply."

Koushirou blinked at the opportunity landed on him.

"I guarantee you'll get an exceptionally good salary,"

The red-head looked thoughtful. "Well… About that… Can I have an advanced payment?" He asked sheepishly.

The old man arched a brow.

Present time but before Koushirou's trip to the hospital…

"Was that old man trustworthy?" Willis, Koushirou's friend and classmate, asked as they walked to school together. "Wasn't it a bit hasty?"

"I thought so, too, at first…" He replied to the question, of the trustworthy comment or the hasty one, Willis wasn't sure. "But I already received the money…"

The blond nodded. "So… Are you really gonna quit school?" Willis asked, a little sadly.

Koushirou forced a smile. "If not because of them, I wouldn't be able to go to school up until now." He replied. "I didn't get to repay otouotou so the least I could do is repay kaasan."

Willis smiled wearily. "Too bad, guess I'll have to take your spot in the computer club as President." He said jokingly, patting his back. "When are you holding the next meeting? Maybe I should come to announce the new take over."

"Hey, I'm not leaving till the end of the semester," Koushirou huffed, a vein marked popping.

*Screeech*

Koushirou glanced at the noise like the rest of the student body present did. It was The blond man Prince; with shoulder length hair, a calm but intimidating demeanor and seemingly cold, icy blue eyes that stepped out, accompanied with men in uniform. Honestly, it was like he was a celebrity with bodyguards. He passed between the crowd of students, including Koushirou with indifference and an air of power.

Koushirou's POV

Ishiida . Yamato . Ecuratol. A Royal Prince who is also the next king of a country named Ecuratan.

The small country… Floating on the Mediterranean sea is a beautiful country that is surrounded by deep blue sea, and their growing vines produce the best wine. A long time ago, Japan protected it from the neighbouring country's attack, and as a result, friendship between the countries deepened and Royal Families have had the tradition of putting Japanese names in their middle names for generations.

His middle name is Yamato because of his Japanese features. And recently he has come to study in Japan.

"I heard he's gonna get married this year, even though we're in the same age group… But I guess that's Prince for you." Willis comments.

Everything around him is sparkling, seems like a totally different atmosphere is flowing only around him… It's a foreign scent.

END of POV

Yamato's POV

I stood by the sliding door of the room I was currently in, wishing to be out of there more than anything. So it was my turn to grant my own wish.

"Yamato-sama,"

"Don't follow me."

"We have no reason to do that."

I turned to my body guards and ignored the statement. "Do you guys know what kind of person my fiancé is?"

"No, no one knows yet."

I looked down with a cold smile… Typical of that grandfather of mine. Grandfather... Don't you think our country is consistent? While I was busily praising love, the royal family decided on who'll be my wife. "What's the meaning of such marriage?"

"Yamato-sama,"

"I'm sure tomorrow would be horrible but let me be alone now, just for ten minutes." I requested and left my body guards, who obediently decided not to follow.

Rooftop…

I stood watching the going-abouts below and the wind breezing through. It felt so peaceful and I was so relaxed. I brought out my old harmonica and played a old tune mother taught me when... When she was still feigning mother love. I was so engrossed with the tune; a tune that made me sad somehow calms me at the same time, it keeps things in perspective, that I didn't hear anyone come in, until I turned and saw a red-headed student.

I put the harmonica down.

His eyes went wide for a moment, before he jumped back startled, probably because of my gaze. I was said to do that to people by just looking at them suddenly. He dropped whatever it was he was holding. He began to panic. It was also said that I do that to people.

"Ex… Excuse me!" He says as I bent over to pick whatever it is he dropped, I fear he was trying to make a hasty retreat, as if no one was allowed in my presence without my advance knowing.

I frowned at that thought.

"Wait." I called out. "Don't mind me, the time's up for me. This is your lunch, right?"

He looked down nervously. "I… If you say so," There was a moment of silence before he spoke again. He congratulated me for my engagement, or marriage plans as he would put it, and I am mildly shock that he knows. But I guess if you're an important person, other people are bound to find out about your life. He was just apologizing when my thoughts invaded me.

"…But I haven't met my marriage partner." These thoughts… These thoughts are the ones running through my mind since I was told about my sudden engagement. "For someone who's going to be the next line it's a requirement to marry a bride chosen by his predecessor. I don't even know whether it's a male or female."

"Male…?"

"Gender doesn't matter in our country. It has nothing to do with my mind also, I'm just obeying orders."

Ironic isn't it? You are a man of power yet there are still orders you are bound to follow whether you liked it or not.

END of POV

Koushirou's POV

I looked up for a brief moment, and looked down just as quickly when I see his eyes. Such absorbing eyes…

It was starting to get too awkward with the silence so I opt to say something. "Well… I heard about your wedding plans." I started with my best English. "Congratulations." I continued then caught myself in horror. That might not be my place to ay, I barely know him and how would he think of it that a complete strangers knows about something as personal as that? I blushed "Er, excuse me for suddenly…"

He just looked at me with half-lidded eyes. "…But I haven't met my marriage partner." He spoke so suddenly I could only catch my breath. I never heard such a beautiful voice… Much like that tune earlier. They had a lot things common, beautiful, serene, peaceful... Yet... Sad, for some reasons. "For someone who's going to be the next line it's a requirement to marry a bride chosen by his predecessor. I don't even know whether it's a male or female."

I blinked and my mind reeled on that. "Male…?"

"Gender doesn't matter in our country." He said simply, nonchalant really. "It has nothing to do with my mind also, I'm just obeying orders." He said with a smile but it seemed so sad. And his eyes are so distant, it's as if he doesn't care who's listening… No, more like he forgot that I was.

So sad…

Suddenly, he turned around and begins to walk away from me. "But I'll take your congratulatory words."

"…Ah! Uhm…"

He turned back to face me. Great, what do I say now? Well, what was I gonna say anyway? I'll just be honest. I... want him to be happy. Such a beautiful person shouldn't be so...Sad, and lonesome. "It will be alright." I said, smiling to encourage him. "For someone like you, they surely will choose a great person."

Somehow, the idea of the other person being for him... Puts ache in my chest.

His eyes seems to widened, and truly what a sight it was, those eyes. Then, slowly but definitely, a smile graced his face. A real smile. "…You're right." He said with eyes close, and he seemed so… At peace. Then he turned away from me, leaving me at the roof.

Craving to see more of those eyes, that voice… With that smile.

After fixing up another broken computer from some unknown stranger yet again, getting paid for a lower price compared to when professionals does it. (Even though the way I do it can be equated to the skills of a professional. Not bragging, Willis told me himself.) I went to visit auntie. (A/N: See Prologue) When all of that was over, I walked to where I was suppose to meet someone to take me to the place of that Old man's acquaintance. For tutor. The same way I take to go the school dorm I will soon no longer live at.

From now on I'll truly be alone… I thought as I recall Yamato from the rooftop that day, turning away from me with all finality. Certainly I'll never see him again… And that thought saddens me a lot. I wish I could speak with him more, if I realize earlier that was possibly the last time I could speak to him in such way...

*Screech*

I looked up to see a expensive looking car that looked all too familiar pulling over in front of me. A man with glasses came out, with a formal air about him. "Mr. Izumi, Koushirou? I am Jyou, the secretary." He spoke with a firm tone. "I came to pick you up, please get in the car. They have been waiting for you."

They? How many will I be tutoring? I assumed it was just one.

Silently but with reluctance, I got in the car, Jyou-san followed me in. I don't really understand but… It looks like I'm going to a very rich family. I took a glance to the blue-haired man who graces me with his company. A very neat person…

I decided to break the silence. "Well… I only know that the job is tutoring. But… what kind intellectual capabilities will the person, or persons, I will be teaching posses?"

Jyou looked at me with an odd expression and answers my question with another. "Tutoring? What are you talking about?" He asked. "I'm sure we have paid the engagement money yesterday."

Engagement… In what context do they mean to use that word? Engagement money? What an odd term to use to refer to salary.

When we arrive, my eyes goes wide to the structure before me. "While in Japan, we are staying here. This is a historic building that has been used by our ancestors."

It was a structure akin to a Victorian home with a balcony and big windows. It also had a courtyard and all. What an enormous house.

Suddenly, I heard a voice. "So, they finally pick you up." It sounded so familiar… "How long were you planning to make me wait?" So beautiful…

The owner of the voice turned around to face me. My eyes went wide, and so did his. Those beautiful eyes…

Yamato!

"You…" Yamato spoke softly, stunned. I am equally in the same state and we just look at each other.

I finally found my voice and I couldn't help but smile a bit, my heart glad. "…Never thought we'd meet again." I commented. "They didn't say I'll be working in such a place…"

He smiled but it didn't seem like the one I liked. It didn't seem… Peaceful. "…When I heard this person asked to be paid in advanced," he begun. "I was looking forward to see what kind of person he is…"

He was scaring me quite a bit now with that tone. And to say I was horrified to what he said next was an understatement.

"You want to seduce me for the sake of money, huh?"

What…?

He turned away from me once again. "Ok, whatever. But at least you have to clean up and learn some etiquette." My head was spinning. What was going on? "I can't introduce you to my father with that look of yours."

I blinked, my mind couldn't comprehend for once. "Uh… What do you mean…"

He turned his head back as he answered. "As my fiancé you'll at least do these things."

My eyes go wide once again. No kidding…?

I'M HIS FIANCE…!?

END of POV
