Prologue
Hello there! I am prisoner 1098 and sadly i cant stay with you long. The day of my prosecution is approaching. But there is a tale I have to tell you all, it's forbidden... I am the only one in the world left to tell this forbidden tale and i trust you to pass it on discreetly to the later generations but if i run out of time. Please anticipate mental health issues in a huge cliffhanger that the only false ending you may get is in your imagination. Well if that's all, let me begin...
Teiko was a big country, so big that it could fit 6 kingdoms with roughly more than 1 billion in each and still have space for one more.
The kingdoms consisted of - Rakuzan, Touou, Yosen, Kaijo , Shutoku, Kirisaki Daiichi, and the smallest kingdom in the country, Kage kingdom.
It might be fate or not but the sons of all 7 kingdoms are born in the same year. And they held a special attraction to each other, accept for Hanamiya Makoto, the son of KiriDai kingdom.
KiriDai kingdom was the most notorious place ever known. Mainly because it was literally Teiko's prison ground. Once they are out of jail, they would be roaming the streets of Kirisaki Daiichi. The corrupted king who still had a heart for his sadistic son had kept him in the Palace for all his childhood, but even so, Hanamiya still shared the same love interest as Akashi Seijuurou, Midorima Shintarou, Kise Ryouta, Murasakibara Atsushi and Aomine Daiki, the love for the son of Kage kingdom, Kuroko Tetsuya.
Kuroko was a caring boy with Shota (A/N: a cute, short, and innocent young boy) appearances, he had the potential to make the entire Teiko population bow down to him because of his looks but he had been kept in his Kingdom for his entire life, if he wishes to go out or meet his 5 other friends, a veil must be placed over his head.
The annual reunions these 5 had always went like this...
"Kurokocchi!"
The blonde ran towards the teal haired boy intending to give him a crushing hug.
"Touch Kuro-chin and I'll crush you, Kise-chin."
A lazy voice made the hyperactive boy stop in his tracks afraid to get crushed by the purple giant.
"Woorasai. You are too noisy. Not that I care or anything but you should consider joining me in a quieter environment, Kuroko."
"You tsundere Midorima. Tetsu, have you shrunk?"
"Daiki has a point. You should stop drinking Vanilla shakes as your daily diet. Your body needs more nutrients Tetsuya."
"Does that mean I can feed him everyday now, Aka-chin?"
"No Atsushi, you'll just give him junk food everyday that's even worse nutrition than what he is getting now. I can personally calculate the healthy intake of food some one your sixe needs and pack you a balanced meal."
"It's okay Akashi-kun, there's no bother."
Sadly, while they were having their little gathering every year...
"Ouji-sama!" An old maid ran into her young Prince's room.
"Why are you still here Ouji-sama? Aren't you joining your friends?"
"Huh?"
"They are at their annual gathering now. Everyone in the kingdom is talking about it, but it never seemed to reach the palace...until...now..." she stopped realising what she said was wrong.
"Never reached the palace? I wonder why?" Hanamiya bitterly laugh.
'They were having annual meetings and they wouldn't invite me? I thought we were friends?'
Time skip
"Makoto. So tell me your almost coming to the age where you have to choose you Fiancee and obviously you don't seem to have any one of these beautiful princesses in your mind."
"I want Tet-su-ya~"
"Of course not! How many times must I tell you! Kage kingdom is too small. It would affect our status."
"Hey you asked me and I told you I want Tetsuya. Isn't it better to have a smaller kingdom? It is easier to dominate than a bigger kingdom."
"No y-"
"Father. Don't you see? Unlike the other kingdoms which has rebels, Kage kingdom has the most loyal citizens in Teiko, and isn't Tetsuya the Focal point of all the other 4 kingdoms? So if we get Tetsuya, we get the other kingdoms too." Hanamiya stood up and prepared to walk away.
"I got to admit you are as sly as your father." The king smirked and pulled his son into a hug.
"Get prepared the engagement letters. I'm going to convince the king of Kage."
In that few years Aomine and Kuroko got extremely close to each other, closer than they were to the rest, just like a Kage to its Hikari. Tomorrow was the coming-to-age day where Kuroko had to choose his fiancee.
Until, everything changed. Touou had gained much more power as its prince became the best swordsman there was in the land. Touou's population rate had grown drastically whereas Aomine's challenges had decreased all because they were too afraid to face such a dangerous man like Daiki.
Aomine with all his power and no challenges, found no need to for anything else. Simply because,
"The only one that can beat me is me!"
Kuroko was not the type of who can just sit and watch his partner fall into the abyss of darkness.
"Aomine-kun... I know that you would meet someone who is of the same strength as you or even stronger."
"Hah! You've been telling me that for over a year already when is he going to come? Huh?"
"I don't know, Aomine-kun. But when he comes and you're not ready...then..."
"Huh... I don't need practice, Tetsu!"
"I mean you need it to man raise your stamina."
"Ugh... just shut up already, Tetsu."
"I will but doesn't Aomine-kun want to find his opponent? Then a least go for today's pract-"
"What do you know about practice, Tetsu?! All I see you do everyday is to show up everyday, act pretty and you get something. You are practically useless in this land and you lecture me, the best swordsman of Teiko about practice? If you don't want to comfort me and all you do is criticise me just go and never come back!"
"Ao-Aomine-kun... Idiot!"
Kuroko didn't know what just happened. He just felt a sense of betrayal it was a huge pang in his heart... he turned around preparing to leave... but he turned back around and gave him a hard slap before running into the woods where he did not know led where.
Half way through, a cold hand covered his eyes and the other arm tugged his small frame, bringing him close to the other's muscular frame.
"Tetsuya~"
His breath hitched as a cold voice whispered in his ear, causing him to shiver.
"A-Akashi-kun?"
A chuckle was heard, followed by,
"wrong."
"I won again, pay up!"
The king of Kage requested for his money when he won a game of Poker!
"Fine, fine." The other king tossed that money across the table.
"What if we bet on something bigger? That might make me play harder?"
"...fine! But i'm not losing!"
First they betted on carriages, the on gold, and some of their loot in their kingdoms but the Kage king won all of them, with no clue that he is being played with and the king of KiriDai had ill intentions of this game.
"Okay lets bet something bigger then! If I win, your son, Tetsuya. He will be my son's fiancee tomorrow at the coming-of-age day. He will stay in my kingdom and take over my wife as queen when she steps down. But if you win, my next born child will be given to you."
"Have you no fear? confidence laced in your voice but no skill is laced in those fingers of yours!"
The shadow king started getting complacent now, he just threw the dice and played the game with ease, seeing easy win for him. But when it was time, the sly king turned the tables around and when the other realised, it was already too late. The score was set, and the winner was no doubt, the king of Kirisaki Daiichi.
"NO! I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS! GIVE HIM BACK GIVE MY SON BACK!"
The greedy king tried to take back his words.
"A deal is a deal and I'm sorry... But, this is... integrity."
With nothing else to say, the king of Kage kingdom sat on his throne stunned of what had just happened, as he watched the other stroll out of his palace with the papers which traded his only son.
"No! Stop it!" Kuroko hit his hand away as he wasn't in the proper state of mind he fell to the ground.
"Isnt it obvious, Tetsuya. He doesn't love you anymore."
"Stop!" He clasp both his hands on his ears.
"No one does. Don't you think that's the reason why you haven't heard any news from them after you started getting close to Daiki"
No. That was a lie.
"They were just too busy."
"Too busy? If they cared for you, would they be too busy for you? For just a meeting, yearly?"
"No... they..."
That was true. Kuroko had no other reasons to challenge these negative thoughts.
"No one loves you, Tetsuya. Even Daiki has left you. Only I love you. And it had been that way ever since. They never truly loved you. Only I did."
What was going on... The light of Kuroko's childhood had slowly dissolved into a sea of emptiness dragging his entire body in with it.
'Kuro-chin I want to feed you forever and ever, because I won't get tired of you.'
Lie.
'Kurokocchi! I love you!'
Fake.
'Tetsuya. You mean the world to me.'
These are all sweet-NOTHINGS.
'Just go and never come back!'
It was true. They never truly loved me...
"A...ah.." The teal boy clutched his clothing as he cried bitter tears.
Only... Only... Hanamiya-San loved me...that's right. Only Hanamiya-san loves me.
"Tetsuya. Everything's alright now. I just wanted you to know the truth... it is painful to find out that your 'loved ones' never loved you at all..."
He feigned pity,
"You are mine now Tetsuya."
"Yes... Hanamiya-San."
