His Life Ahead
P.S. The beginning of the story will take place right after Corrin chooses Hoshido. WARNING YAOI FANFICTION!
After the skirmish with Nohr, the Hoshidan Royals and their army were heading back home with their brother, Corrin, back at their side. It was getting late, everyone was tired and needed some rest.
"We shall make camp here for the night. Hinoka, will you help the soldiers with pitching the tents?" Instructed the eldest brother, Ryoma. He was a man of great honor, looking out for others, he was almost a father figure to his siblings.
"Of course, brother." The confident flier said. Hinoka headed off to the supply wagons.
While everyone was setting up the tents and getting comfortable, Ryoma went for a little walk. After a bit of a hike, Ryoma was almost at the top of the valley. The gentle grass blew in the wind, the trees sat in tranquility, and the sunset casting a faint shadow over the Plains of Hoshido. With all this beauty, Ryoma took time to think of what his role is in the Royal Family. With Queen Mikoto sadly passing away, Ryoma was next to become king. This was no simple task, especially with all of Hoshidans Citizens panicking and in distraught over their Queens death.
"I knew I was going to have to be king all my life but… it's all so sudden, am I really fit to be king?" Ryoma thought to himself.
Mean while back at camp, Corrin was in Sakura's tent. Sakura was telling him stories about their siblings and their childhood, some funny, some happy and even some sad. Corrin had been nervous and stressed ever since he made his decision to join Hoshido, so he was grateful that he could hear these stories to relax a little.
"Wait, Takumi once shot an apple straight off the top of Yukimura's head?!" Corrin questioned.
Sakura nodded happily. "It was for a festival for the King and Queen, it was part of the entertainment." She said.
They both laughed and Sakura continued to tell stories.
Suddenly Takumi entered the tent.
"Hey Sakura, can I borrow your training bow, I'm going to go hunt some deer for dinner."
Takumi glared at Corrin
"Oh its you, listen Sakura, don't tell him anymore about us, he doesn't deserve to know our family's history." Takumi spout.
Sakura fiddled with her fingers and nodded. Takumi grabbed the bow and left to the forest.
An awkward silence filled the tent.
"Did I do something to him that I didn't know about?" Corrin asked Sakura.
"I don't think so, Takumi just isn't good with new people, I bet you two will be good friends soon." She replied with a smile.
Later that night, after everyone was finished eating the food Takumi hunted, everyone went to their tents to rest till the morning. Corrin was having a bit trouble sleeping, he got up and headed outside for a midnight stroll. As he was about to leave his tent, he bumped into Hinoka.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Hinoka, I didn't see you there. Do you need something?" Corrin apologized.
"No worries, I came into your tent because I wanted to show you something."
Before Corrin could agree to come along, Hinoka grabbed his hand and took him into the forest. Once they stopped running Corrin took a moment to take in his surroundings. They were standing a along a creek that ran peaceful down the forest, the crystal water looks as if its rushing river but sounds like a peaceful stream. The trees almost blocked out the sky, as if it was a stormy rain cloud. Little openings shined the pure moonlight.
"Pretty neat, huh? I like to go and find quiet places to get my mind clear of the Norhians." Hinoka said.
Corrin chuckled. "I can see why, King Garon is brute that hungers for war. At least, that's how I see him." He commented.
"That's how I see all of them." Hinoka grunted.
Corrin got an aching feeling after she said that.
"Xander and the others can't be like that mad king… Right?" Corrin thought.
Corrin sat down by the creek and started to think about his past family. Wondering if they hated him for what he had done. Hinoka notice something was wrong so she sat down next to him and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I'm really glad you chose us, Corrin." Hinoka whispered.
All of his thoughts were nothing now, Hinoka wrapped her arms around Corrin, hugging him tight. Corrin was a bit startled by this action, but hugged her back to.
"I hope I chose right."
