Alright people, this is my FIRST romance AND OT5 story. So Please go easy on the mean comments if you have any. Enjoy! :)
"Why won't you admit it?" Keigo asked.
"I have my reasons, but I just can't tell you." The emerald haired boy said as he walked away from the four boys behind him. "Now, I must say goodbye to you." He ran away with the last burst of energy he had. Syuusuke was about to run after him until a firm hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Ryoma is having a tough time. He'll come back to us in due time." Tezuka assured.
'I don't think so. Onii-chan warned me about the loss of something that cannot be replaced. But…' He though.
"Trust us Syuu, Ryoma loves us, he's just scared to admit it." Sanada said, breaking him out of his thoughts.
"If you say so Gen-chan." The four walked back to their homes with different things on their minds.
With Ryoma
'I can't… I just can't love them. I'm not allowed to love anyone. It's against the rules of being a Prince. I'm not allowed to love anyone else besides her.' Ryoma thought to himself. His feet crunched through the falling snow of December. His breathing died down as he noticed he was no longer in view of his true lovers. 'Why must this be happening to me? And right before my birthday of all days.' He walked closer to his house and saw his father sitting on the porch.
"Hey kid, ready for the big day?" He asked sadly.
"Sure, the sooner I can get married the sooner I won't have to live around them." He walked into the house and whipped his feet before taking off his sneakers.
"I know you love them, and also that you don't want to marry her, but Ryoma… it's the laws of being the next prince of the Echizen household."
"Can't someone else do it though? Like maybe Ryoga or Nanako?" He asked softly letting tears stain his face.
"I'm sorry Ryoma, you and I both know Ryoga is not a blood descendant. And Nanako isn't my offspring so she can't take the throne. I care about you kid, but this time you just have to go with it. No matter how sad it makes you. Now let's go, the car is ready to take us back to the main house. At least you'll be able to see your cousins and the rest of your family." Ryoma nodded and grabbed his suitcase that was waiting on the inside of the door.
"Let's go father." The two walked out to the car. Rinko was driving and Nanako was sitting in back with Ryoma while Nanjiro was up front next to Rinko. 'Gen-chan, Syu-chan, Kuni-chan, Kei-chan… I do love you, but this love is forbidden for me. It's time I say goodbye to you four and move on.' Ryoma let out a single tear and Nanako brought him into a caring hug.
