Royals: Chapter 12


It was early morning in the both of the kingdoms. King Orihara was slowly opening his eye's, stretching his sore limbs. Izaya rubbed his tired eye's, brushing away the last remains of his sleep, and feeling the dry tears, that he had shed last night. The raven let out a tired huff, hosting himself on his feet, climbing into soft slippers, and changing his clothes, for they were wrinkled. He had gone to sleep in his day clothes. Fishing a new and clean outfit out of his closet, Izaya dressed himself and went to his bathroom. Doing the necessary tasks there, the raven headed to the dining room for breakfast.

Once Izaya entered the room, he was met by his servants – two guards standing at the door, Namie, who was helping the cook to serve the table, and Shinra, who was sitting at the table, but now was standing and bowing for the royal raven along with the other servants. Izaya just waved his hand in dismissal, taking his seat at the end of the table, facing an empty seat opposite to him. The king thought , that his younger raven prodigy was still sleeping, due the hysterical crying he heard last night, passing Hibiya's room. The raven king knew how hard it is to get over such a heartbreak, so he let the smaller raven to sleep, now concentrating on his breakfast, listening to his schedule for the day.


Meanwhile, a blond king was startled from his sleep, by a nightmare, tear stains marring his handsome face. With a small grunt, the blond ran a hand through his bed hair, finally waking up. Grabbing a robe, and finishing his bathroom routine, the cold-heart king went down to his own dining room, but before that, he made his way towards the infirmary, to see how was his injured son feeling. Opening the heavy dark-wood door, Shizuo was met with a blinding white room, and when his eye's got used to the light, the blond king could see the weak raven on the bed, and for a little while, Shizuo thought that it was his lost lover, that was sleeping on the bed, just like a long time ago. The blond sat down on the corner of the bed that was closer to Roppi, running his fingers through the slightly sweaty hair. The boy must have been having a bad dream.

Two dark scarlet eye's opened, and Shizuo really thought he was looking at his long lost Iza-chan. But he knew, that it could never happen. The Izaya replica slowly started to shift, a small smile cracking in his face. The blond offered a smile back.

''Hey, good-morning, Roppi. How are you feeling today?'' The blond king asked his newly acknowledged son.

''Mmh, I feel a bit better, thanks, Shiz-'' Roppi couldn't say the word he wanted, when he was met with a sad smile of his father.

''D-Dad.'' The raven smiled a happy smile, when the blond nodded his head in approval. The duo talked a bit, when the topic reached the raven king. Shizuo started to talk about the revenge he was going to take for him and his ancestors, when a hand suddenly grabbed his. The blond head turned back to face the raven, who had a worried expression on his face.

''Roppi-chan, what's wrong?'' Shizuo asked worriedly.

''Could you please listen to my request only this time? But, promise me, that you will at least think about it.'' The raven begged. The blond king nodded his head. Roppi took a deep breath in, and voiced his request.

''Please, call off the fight with Izaya-sama. Don't fight him anymore. Make up with him.'' The raven said.

Shizuo jumped to his feet, a small rage bubbling inside of his chest, where his heart was. He didn't want to go into rage mode in the presence of his injured son, so he slowly simmered down.

''But, Roppi-chan! That man-'' The blond king was cut off.

''Tried to save me.''

Shizuo's eye's almost popped out of his sockets, when he heard something so shocking. He didn't want to believe, that his hate was just a small grudge for his past lover, and that he had changed.

''He tried to...save you?'' The blond king asked to make sure.

''Yes, he did. He tried to reach for my hand, but something pulled me down from the bottom.'' Roppi said with a smile. He finally developed respect for the raven king, as in gratefulness for his attempted rescue. ''So could you please, write a letter to him? At least try to apologize to him, and if that doesn't work out, and he is, as you said, a pure-blood murderer, you can fight until death. But at least try. For my sake.'' Roppi begged, his eye's sparkling.

The blond thought long and hard. Could he finally try and listen to his old lover and put this hate behind them once and for all, and be happy together again? Could he do that? Shizuo's heart started to beat the same beat it did when he was freshly in love. It beat like that that day when he wanted to confess his feelings for Izaya. Shizuo's parents always said to him, to always let his heart decide. And now, his heart said to listen to the request and it will lead him to his own happiness. The blond smiled a genuine smile, and nodded to his son. Roppi smiled a happy smile back, resembling the blond of his lost lover.

''Okay...I'll eat breakfast and write a letter for him. I'll make Shitsuo bring your meal here.'' Shizuo said, squeezing his hand, and letting it go.

''Thanks, Dad.''


Meanwhile, another couple of raven and blond hair started to stir under an old Sakura tree. The couple was lying on a heap of clothes, only covered by the long golden cape of the raven prince. It was warm enough, so they didn't freeze, their body heat and sweat from their activities keeping them warm. Delic opened his eye's first, getting used to the morning sun. His headphones were lying on the ground, Hibiya had probably tore them down, when he gripped his hair last night. Ah...last night. Such a wonderful moment in his existence, where only he and his golden-eye lover were the only one's in the world. The blond reached out his hand, brushing away strands of hair, that covered the handsome face of his small prince. The small caresses woke up said prince, and two slightly foggy golden orbs met the light of day.

Hibiya's eye's finally focused and the first thing he saw waking up, was the face of the man he loved with all of his heart.

''Morning, Hibi-chan.'' Delic said, continuing to run his fingers through the raven locks of hair. With a happy grunt of breath, Hibiya smiled, reaching his hand for Delic's free one, intertwining their fingers.

''Morning, Delic.'' The small raven rose up to a sitting position, reaching for a morning kiss, which the blond gladly gave. Once they broke apart, they exchanged small smiles, and started to dress themselves, and when they were done, they went for a small walk. They reached the river, washing their faces, and going in for a bath. The water was warm and relaxing to their sore muscles, especially for Hibiya. They held one another close, even when they were swimming, never wanting to part again. Once they were done, they sat down under a tree, cuddling and just talking.

''Delic, I want to run away with you together. Our parents will never understand us, they don't approve us being together. Let them fight all they want. So let's just get our horses, money, everything we need, and leave this place and be together forever.'' Hibiya suggested. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with Delic, because it was so hard to finally be together with him, so he was not going to let the blond go.

''As tempting as it sounds, we can't, Hibi-chan.'' Delic answered. Hibiya turned his head to face the blond face-to-face.

''You...don't want to be together with me?'' The raven prince asked, tears forming in his eye's.

''NO, no, it's not that. I won't ever leave you, and I want to be together with you forever Hibiya, but we can't just run away. We have to help our parents to stop fighting. I know my father still loves Izaya-sama, we just have to break the fight they have between them. Don't you want Izaya to be happy too?'' Delic asked.

''I love Izaya, as he is technically my father, and I do want him to be happy. I often can hear him crying in is room, and I think it's do to Shizuo-sama. I think Izaya still loves him.'' Hibiya said.

''We have to help them. Dad said he was getting ready for war today, that meant he wants to attack you father, Hibi-chan. We must find them! And look,'' The blond pointed at the afternoon sky,'' it's going to rain soon. Dad always likes to fight during a storm. That's why he attacked you in a storm.'' Delic scrambled to his feet, pulling Hibiya to his feet as well. They quickly mounted their horses, running off to find the two kings.


Shizuo kept his word, writing a letter in apology for his lover (in the presence of Roppi), asking the raven king for a talk at the borderline of his land. He sent a messenger to deliver the letter, and soon the messenger returned back, with a letter for the blond king. Shizuo tore the letter open, wanting to read the response. The letter read:

I know you hate me and my son. Your own prodigy has ran of with my darling Hibiya, and I know it is your fault. And as you write in your letter, if it's war you want, it's a war you will get.

His royal Majesty,

Izaya Orihara.

The envelope was sealed with the royal stamp, and another letter was attached to it. It was a letter written with hate, with a call out to a war, this evening at the Orihara land's borderline. And it was signed by...Shizuo? It was sealed with his kingdoms stamp. But...how?!

Shizuo finally understood. Somebody was sabotaging their relationship from the start, and quite possible lead them to the fight, when Izaya banished him all those years ago?!

But, WHO?!
