~|_X_|~
13 years ago there was the first meeting between the Kings Heiwajima and Orihara, and the day Shizuo met the one who would steal his heart away.
A six year old blond prince was huffing, walking down the main halls of his father and mother's castle in haste. He had been having a swell and fine day, until he got news that the Orihara were coming for a visit, and that they were bringing the twin omegas. Male omegas were rare, very rare. And Shizuo had always been taught that the twins being two male omegas was a jackpot, in a sense. He was ordered by his father to treat them both kindly, and to show them around. And the worst of all, share his pudding if one asked.
"Like...poo I would! It's my pudding!" He roared and punched a wall. His small fist going strait into the stone. He stood there a few moments, and looked at what he had done, then began to feel a bit panicked since he couldn't pull his fist out. There was a small crater, and the stone was cracked just enough to make a pocket that his small fist couldn't get out of. Shizuo whimpered and looked around until he saw his father and mother.
They sighed, laughed, then the tall King helped the little boy gently.
"It's only pudding." He said in his deep kindly voice, but carried his little angel to the dining hall to get some more. The dinner had just started and for the kids small snacks were served before and after the meal. Tsugaru was regal in every way, his crown beautiful as his hair was golden, and his wife was a pretty blond princess from a different small country that he looked upon with only friendly, but never loving eyes.
Shizuo was in his formal as well, a tiny gold grown on his head, and stomped around clutching a pudding cup and grinding his teeth. He wouldn't share, and that was that in his mind. He looked at the twins he had been warned to be nice to and frowned seeing that they were looking at him. They were both smaller than him, and the caramel eyed boy didn't like how creepy the red eyed one's stare was. He frowned and stomped his feet following his Dad and Mom.
He picked up on the conversation they were having and heard that it was an argument.
"You look at him all the time. Come on Tsugaru, it's in the past." His mother hissed," you've made your choice and you've chosen to be with me. Think of Shizuo, our child, our son."
"I am... But you who have never felt love, will never know the heart break I get every time I see him." The king spoke back sadly in almost poetry," but you are my wife. I did make that choice, and I have not been unfaithful to you. So please, my dear, drop the subject." He sighed and looked back to where the Oriharas were. He smirked seeing the Queen fussing all over the twins, and cleaning their little faces since they had a small snack before the fancy dinner, then Hibiya entered the picture.
The Orihara king, regal in gold and black. He was slightly taller then Psyche, and all the warmth in the family disappeared the moment he came to their side. He pecked Psyche's cheek, and pat both twin's heads before letting his cold sweeping gaze go across to Tsugaru.
The blond noticed a glint in those golden orbs and saw Hibiya lean to Psyche, whose back was turned, and whispered something into his ear. The smaller raven's shoulders slumped a bit, and it was obvious what had been said was not what Psyche wanted to hear.
"They are our guests though.." The Heiwajima queen sighed and put down her wine glass snapping the 26 year old back to attention," let us go greet them. The meeting is tomorrow and I would like to get to know them now." She knew it was an excuse to meet Psyche up in person, and wanted to know what really made her husband love the other so much." Shizuo can say hi to the twins." She adds and smiles at the pouting, pudding faced blond.
The three walked over slowly with the queen wiping away the mess that Shizuo made of himself, he fussed a bit but complied. When the Queen was done she turned to face the Orihara just in time to see the softest shade of pink looking at her. A feeling of cold came across her chest, at the subtle heart break in those eyes, she felt a sudden pain in her heart seeing that those roses that clung to a small life turn silky pink. Loosing all life instantly. Akira felt a small sliver to pity, followed by guilt when she turned her own blue eyes to look to Hibiya, she could not believe how broken the Orihara Queen was. And now she understood why he was claimed as the silent song bird. Then she saw the king, the evil glint in his eyes told her all, and she put on a smile just to get by her hatred for the man that had already formed.
"Evening." Tsugaru greeted and nodded when Hibiya offered a small bow.
"Thank you for having us King." Hibiya responded before looking over to Psyche who was trying to act like he was busy with the two six year olds." Psyche," He called, his voice was soft and almost loving, but the reaction seen by the Heiwajima made their stomachs curl. He held his arm up, the signal for the smaller raven to come to his side. The silent queen had frozen, and slowly turned to face them. Walking to the out stretched hand and letting the golden king put it around his waist." You have got to meet this lovely flower of a Queen." He says flattering Akira, and giving Psyche a reason to look at the one who had taken his love.
"Hello." He says, voice a little shaky but Tsugaru and Akira felt the urge to hug him.
"Hello." Akira says and offered a small smile but felt bad seeing that it only made the look in the other's eyes dim more." The t-twins are lovely." She tried to make him feel better while their husbands chatted in a very grit teethed conversation.
"Th-Thank you." Psyche says and looked down at the identically dressed six year olds. The only difference were the crowns, golden for the future King, and silver for the second born.
"I cannot tell who is who." Akira joked, and looked to Shizuo." Darling, come say hi to Queen Orihara." Shizuo walked over and stood next to his mother looking up at the pink eyed queen. He frowned, then hid behind his mother's leg peeking out." Oh, don't be that way~"
"Sakuraya is just the same with strangers." Psyche says with a small smile mostly just being kind even though it hurt." Izaya, Sakuraya meet Queen Heiwajima." He introduces and looked down at the twins. The two little omegas walked over and looked up at the lady. The pink eyed one smiled, and the red eyed one frowned.
"Who's that?" Izaya asks noticing Shizuo, and wondering why he was hiding like a baby.
"That's prince Shizuo. He lives here." Psyche says and waved at the small blond who clutched a pudding cup to his chest and frowned.
"Shizuo be nice." Akira says and stepped aside. She pat his head, then looked around for a servant to order something to drink for her and Psyche since the Kings had gone off to socialize with anyone but each other, though Hibiya staid within ear shot of them.
Izaya walked up to Shizuo while their parents were busy and looked at him closely." Pudding?" He asks and raises a brow. He leaned to the other and smiles, he was curious and wanted to know more.
"Yeah. And I'm not sharing." The blond responded and glared at the curious one. He thought the little boy was a brat already and was tempted to shove him away.
"I wasn't going to ask." Izaya shrugs," but since you mentioned it~" He smirked then skipped over to his mother after winking at the blond. The smaller raven pulled on Psyche's pant leg," Mama, Mama~"
"Yes darling?" Psyche looked down and smiles picking up the little boy. He looked for Sakuraya and felt a spike of worry seeing Hibiya tending to the younger twin. Hibiya wasn't the best to Psyche, but he was semi nice to the twins and lead the younger one to the bathroom after being asked.
"Pudding." Izaya says and pointed to Shizuo." Please?"
"Oh, of course you can have some." Akria smiled and looked at the adorable raven." There's plenty to share, right Shizuo?" She looked at him with a small unsaid warning to be kind, and looked around for a server to bring some of the delicious snack for the kids." Think Sakuraya would want one?"
"I think." Izaya nods," get him a vanilla one though, he doesn't like chocolate."
Akira waved over a server and placed the order." Two puddings, one chocolate and one vanilla for the Orihara twins."
Shizuo nearly dropped his spoon hearing that, and stomped his foot. He decided right then, the Orihara were mean and he hated them. He pouted when he saw Izaya and the other twin getting his snack and watched them be all cute and get adored for being good little boys. The blond prince had to take a moment to realize he just thought of the two as cute, and stuff the spoon into his mouth before tossing the pudding cup to a servant nearby.
Izaya saw how he was acting and giggled, he liked the golden boy and waved as his mother lead them away. People in regal outfits stared at the popular royals and all chatted in the huge ball room until dinner was served in the beautiful dining room. They sat at the large table staring at the adult food served and Izaya smiled getting all the Ootoro his twin and mother didn't want. But he and Sakuraya had no issue shoving their veggies to Psyche's plate. The two little omegas giggled chatting with each other and their mother in small voices, and made faces at the live octopus served, and acted like little kids playing with the forks and making a six fork tall monument that even Hibiya contributed two of his forks to.
Tsugaru laughed lightly and looked to his little boy who sat there pouting. He sighs, the king knew the golden prince had anger issues and handed him something under the table to brighten his mood a bit. A few seconds later Shizuo had a mouth full of pudding, and full ignorance of Izaya. He had pudding, and now he didn't care.
~|_X_|~
That night Shizuo woke up to the sounds of pebbles being tossed at his window. Or he assumed it was pebbles and ignored the tinking noise, he was completely annoyed. He knew it was Izaya just by how arrogant it seemed, and stubbornly he pulled the pillow over his head to block the noises. That was until it spoke.
"Shizu-chan~ It's cold out here."
"What the-!" Shizuo shot up and looked to his balcony seeing a small raven with ruby red eyes standing there in black pjs." What are you doing?!" He shouted and got up, stumbling out of his bed and rushing to the door. He opened it, looking at the freezing boy with wide eyes.
Izaya smiles," I wanted to hang out with some one other then my twin." He stated and stepped into the room as if her had been invited, which Shizuo was not happy with.
"You can't be in here."
"Oh come on Shizu-chan~"
"Don't call me that you ...flea." Shizuo pouted and pulled the other boy back to the door." Seriously you can't be in here. It's my room."
Izaya merely smirked and pulled back making the taller step to him, pressing his lips to Shizuo's." Now we're married and it's my room too." He stated just to piss off the mini brute. He giggled and skipped to the bed." It's so beautiful here." He smiles," it's rare to be able to see the stars at my castle."
Shizuo was too stunned for a moment and turned a bright pink before speaking. "So?"
"You don't get it, huh?" The raven sat up," you lived here and don't see the beauty of it."
"I grew up here, now go away."
"Nope." Izaya shot up and grabbed the other's hand." I wanna see more of the castle." He demanded," and I want more pudding. You seem to have some sort of fascination with it and I wanna know why." He demanded.
"It tastes good, so leave it alone." The little alpha boy answered and pointed back to the balcony," Leave. If they find out you're in here I will get in trouble."
"If you do not show me around the castle and give me pudding I will scream" Izaya says and walked to the door.
"You wouldn't." Shizuo growls and only caused a bigger smile to the other's face. However the stubborn prince nearly freaked out when the ruby eyed terror opened his mouth and took a deep breath as if he were about to scream." Fine!" He gave in with a roar and had grabbed the littler boy.
Izaya let out the deep breath and giggles." Let's go!" He pulled the other into an innocent kiss, giggling again and pulling him along.
Shizuo followed, he couldn't help the pink tinge on his face, nor stop smirking whenever the sneaky adventurous omega lead him around. That was their first meeting, and the first time, Shizuo realized years later, that he had fallen for Izaya. Even ten years later he had yet to deny Izaya pudding.
~|_X_|~
Present Time.
Shizuo smiles hearing the sound of tinking at his balcony door. He left it unlocked ever since they were little, and looked over seeing the beautiful raven standing there. He stood slowly, brushing some bed head away, and walked over opening it, wondering why Izaya hadn't just walked in. "Hey." He called gently, the wind soft but cold around them. It was a stunningly clear night, the stars gleaming brightly.
"The stars." Izaya looked up," you can see them again tonight." He smiles softly feeling arms wrap around him.
"When did you guys arrive?"
"About an hour ago. I had to wait for Mom and Dad to get to bed before sneaking out the window. Your dad put my room only the floor below your this time."
"He knows~" Shizuo jokes slightly and nuzzled into the perfect omega's hair. He could smell the scent of a maturing Izaya and frowned."... You were lonely." He states, his alpha senses picking up on the scent. His arms tightened around him, a want to kiss the other taking over.
"I was." Izaya responded." And I wanted to see you." He turned with a saddened smile," I love you... But I'm worried."
"So am I..." Shizuo kissed the younger's head, and then his lips gently." I am worried what your father might demand in return for our marriage." He felt the other tense in his arms and pulled him into the bedroom, intentions on warming him up. The tall blond put on the fire place and pulled the blankets from the bed to the floor wrapping them around the black clad form. They cuddled and basked in each other's presence, no words needing to be said.
"He's gonna ask for something that will change everything." Izaya says softly," my mother warned me briefly, but I'm scared that my dad has something he's trying to do." He sighed,"... my love... our fighting is coming to an end, but the war isn't over."
"Sounds like something your mother would write."
Izaya giggled," sort of.. But I think that one thing my mother wrote once in a song was true..." He smiled a true loving smile." When it comes to true love, the word love becomes too bitter to describe it."
It was Shizuo's turn to laugh this time." Only you would call love bitter."
~|_X_|~
Hours later Izaya was pacing the hall outside of the meeting. He was in his plain black royal wear, a crown on his head looking regal, though he was worried. His gold cape billowed behind him, and he checked his phone yet again for the time. He was very nervous about his father's 'conditions', and what had to be met.
The omega prince groaned, he felt so restless and jumped when the door opened. He saw his mother walk out, and all but ran to meet him. The Queen was in lovely shades with a golden cape to show the colors of who his king is." Darling you need to sit in for me." Psyche says softly and did not look well. His facer was a bit flush, and the look of nausea was coming over him.
"Are you alright?" Izaya asks motioning for a knight to come an assist them.
"Faint..." The other replies but offered a small smile. He cupped Izaya's face as a mother would," IzaIza, go and sit in. I'll be fine." Izaya blushed a bit embarrassed at his mother calling him fluffy family names around knights that were coming with a doctor." Oh don't make that face, you'll always be my IzaIza." The Queen smiles," SakuSaku will always be by little Sakusaku."
"Weren't you going to faint or something?" The prince pouted and stepped aside as the doctor came. He watched his mother get escorted away, a worry in his gut slowly setting in. However the meeting could not continue without two representatives of Shinjuku, so he took a breath and entered the room.
Hibiya looked over at his eldest son and gestured to the empty chair that Psyche had been sitting in. The ruby eyed omega sat, taking note that Tsugaru had his hands fisted tightly, and Shizuo's leg was bouncing. Izaya looked to his love's face and saw anger and annoyance. Not towards him, those caramel eyes were aimed along with icy blue to the tyrant King Hibiya.
"Let us continue." The Orihara horror spoke when all was settled.
The room had a Victorian woven carpet that has lots of red, the walls were a lovely light red, and everything was wrapped into the traditional Heiwajima red. It was very warm in the room, the lights coming from many golden candles and a grand fire place meant to show good hospitality. The windows had black drapes that were drawn shut, blocking the sun's rays and prying eyes. It was a nervous room, filling with anxiety of wars and death, the only comfort for Izaya was when the caramel orbs went to him. He relaxed more when he heard Shizuo's deep voice.
"Your demand is awful." Shizuo shot with no care for being polite. Tsugaru sighed and looked like he wanted to thwack the younger's head.
"How?" Hibiya asks calmly, eyes a glow in gold.
"An omega is not fully child bearing ready for birth until the age of 20. You know this." Tsugaru was more polite and presented a good reason to decline the demand.
"My Queen had a miracle birth at 18. Whose to say you son, who is gifted with strong heavy seed and genes, and my eldest omega child can not as well?"
"It is way to dangerous a risk."
"Are you implying your son and country would not be able to care for a simple underage omega pregnancy?"
Izaya realized then what his father as asked. He felt sick to the stomach, a deep burning sensation and the odd hollow feeling as he realized his father did not care for his life. His father had left him emotionally, and even though Izaya hated him it hurt. His father was demanding him to risk his life to bear an heir, and Hibiya did not care if his last son even lived. He would let the family fall instead of joining countries, or he would force his final son to go back to Shinjuku without a marriage.
"It is not an unreasonable request. An heir within a year to prove our truce, and their devotion to each other that is unyielding. They would raise the child here of course, but when age come it will be crowned and sent to Shinjuku to rule. You get your wife, our minerals and a family started, Shinjuku would get an heir. You could have two kids and neither would feel the pain of not being the crowned prince or princess if you consider."
Izaya felt more chills up his spine. He had not even been in heat yet, he wasn't of age at all for kids and his father was pushing. The thought of giving birth, let alone getting pregnant with a life inside of him was too odd.
Hibiya continued," you said yourself that you can take care of an under developed omega birth. And, it since I came here on your request for the continuation of the arrange marriage instead of the generous free help. It comes down to, accept or reject." The king finished and smiled almost kindly. His eyes shining with anger, but pain. Izaya was speechless and would not be able to speak, it was not his place. He was to listen and not comment on behalf of the Queen. He looked to the kind King.
Tsugaru was thin lipped, and in concentration. When he found no way out he looked to Izaya. He cared for the younger dearly, already thought of him as a son. So with a heavy heart, and his gut falling out he nodded." We accept." He stood," the first shipments of supplies will be given, and so will the wedding ring. Shizuo will be picking one out soon."
Hibiya stood as well and shook tight hands with Tsugaru." I look foreword to meeting you all at the wedding." He pulled back." Izaya's things will be delivered as soon as possible. Once he is settled my wife and I will take our leave. He will not be returning with us." Izaya would not see his home again according to Hibiya.
Izaya sat still when his father jus simply left after. His hands rested on the arm rests of the plush chair. When the blinds were pulled back he snapped out of it.
Shizuo stood before him. Nothing was said as relief mixed with the bitter victory hit them. They embraced, the shorter letting out the huge breath he had taken in.
"M-My dad..." he whimpered and Shizuo nodded.
"I know.." He says softly.
"M-m.. my father..." Izaya felt tears in his eyes. He felt almost abandoned even if he wasn't close. He couldn't hold it," d-daddy..." He cried softly, hiding his face into his fiance's chest. Shizuo wrapped the other into a hug, comforting as best as he could. He ran a hand through his lover's hair, kissing the top of his head. He looked over when the curtains were shut again, Tsugaru there.
What had to be done, had to be done Shizuo realized. He would have to harm Izaya only once, then never again. The Heiwajima made eye contact. The silent message passing between them. They were Izaya's family now, and they would make sure nothing ever harm Izaya. He was one of them, and they would never abandon him.
