A/N: Yay, hello people! I'm not dead yet! (well, since I uploaded an OS today, obvioulsy I wouldn't be dead... anyway!) While I was giving a try to the Royalty!AU, it became nonsense and this plot was born from it. It kind of sounds like the one I initially wanted to write, but there's some dark plot twist in it.
o.o
King Toichi Kuroba of Ekoda had been deceased for eight years, when Prince Kaito was seven, leaving Queen Chikage to rule the kingdom. However, a queen ruling the kingdom by herself is really badly seen by the other kingdoms, and the Queen has been presented with a dilemma: either she would marry Snake, a King badly famous for his awful character and ruling, or she had to have Prince Kaito to marry as soon as he reaches the age of sixteen. If he didn't, she will be forced to marry Snake.
She chooses the latter, though she never informs Kaito about that. This way, she had thought, he would be free of the pressure of having to find a princess to marry, and would be more willing to meet and learn to know the ones that will be presented to him.
However, Prince Kaito rejects all of the princesses, and now that he will soon reach sixteen, there is no princess left for him to meet. Only princes are still available, including Prince Shinichi of Beika, who had known Kaito since childhood (their parents had been friends. After King Toichi's death though, their meetings lessened in frequency).
What people don't know, is that Kaito rejects all of the princesses because he is in love with Shinichi (well, at first not, but). And yet Kaito still doesn't know about his mother's dilemma, and gets annoyed at her attempts to marry him.
Shinichi doesn't know yet either, but when he gets to visit the Ekoda kingdom, he finally discovers everything. And, well, he also is in love with Kaito.

A/N: Weeeell, the end of the plot is lame. I don't know how to end this. But. The plot is not bad, I guess.
How I wanted to write that was, starting when Shinichi gets to Ekoda (maybe with Yukiko), that is a bit before Kaito reaches sixteen, and he witnesses how Kaito rejects a princess and Chikage scolds him. And then Kaito runs out of the room, and Shinichi gets out as well but still overhears their mothers talking and learns about Chikage's dilemma.
And after he goes maybe for advice to someone, before confronting Kaito about it. And then he learns that Kaito actually loves him and all that. Maybe :3 I actually had quite a lot written already. If anybody's interested I can give it.
