"Prince Tsunayoshi!" A servant called out, tone half-exasperated, half-worried, and at the sound of his voice, Tsuna huddled closer into his hiding spot, body pressing Enma's deeper into the corner to make sure neither of them is seen.
"What do they want?" Enma whispered.
"They want to arrange a marriage for me." Tsuna pouted, "They have a list of 'suitors' waiting at the palace and they want me to pick one."
"Oh!" Enma's eyes widened, "That's why I'm here too!"
"What?" Tsuna cocked his head to the side, confusion written on his face.
"My family said that I must come here because I'm a suitor." Enma shrugged.
"Oh, wow!" Tsuna's eyes widened, "A suitor? But I heard people like those are supposed to be really important! Enma, that means you're really important!"
Enma blushed, "You don't have to say it like that! Besides, didn't you say that I'm important to you before. Am I not important to you now?"
Tsuna wrapped his arms around Enma's neck and hugged him close, "Enma! You'll always be important to me and nothing will change that! What I mean is that you being a suitor means that you're important to a whole lot of people!"
Enma tentatively returned Tsuna's hug, "Really?"
"Really!"
The two quieted down, sitting calmly in their hiding spot and enjoying the silence and momentary freedom from their duties.
"Hey, Tsuna," Enma whispered, breaking the silence, "Are you going to pick a suitor?"
Tsuna buried his head in Enma's neck, "Yes. I have to. My parents said that I must, because I'll need someone else to rule at my side."
"So, who are you going to pick?"
Tsuna sighed, "I dunno… it's not like I know all the suitors and I feel comfortable with one of them and would trust them. Heck, the only suitor here I know is… you…" Tsuna trailed off, snapping his head up to stare at Enma in shock.
"What?" Enma mumbled self-consciously.
"Enma, you're a suitor!"
"Yes?" Enma cocked his head to the side in confusion.
"Enma! Be my suitor!" Tsuna exclaimed, enthusiasm shining in his eyes.
Enma gaped, a blush creeping up his neck and into his cheeks, "M-me?!"
"Yes, you!"
"Why me, though? Shouldn't you pick one who is stronger or smarter-"
"But you're the one I know! You're the one I know I can trust! Isn't that what matters the most?"
"I- I guess?"
"So, what do you say?"
Enma's blush intensified, "O-okay. I'll be your suitor."
Tsuna cheered loudly.
"There you are, your highness!"
"Oops."
