Buvdal (April) 15th, 1464, Vrasteovell Kingdom
Atsumu was sleeping in his soft bed when his three ladies in waiting walked through his door, (loudly might he add) and one started pulling the sheets off of Atsumu while the others pulled Atsumu up and stripped him of his clothes to get him dressed for the day. What was today? Atsumu just groaned and complained as they got him ready, "Be careful with my nightgown Tooru my grandmother made it for me"
"I'm sorry Atsu! But your mother needs you ready and fast!" Tooru exclaimed
"He's right Tooru you other slept" Suna said as he was grabbing clothes from Atsumu's closet for him to wear, "More like you both let him sleep longer than he should have" Akaashi made Atsumu's bed and went over to Atsumu's vanity and got his makeup ready.
"Don't go blaming me for letting him sleep in! I was busy!" Suna said a little too loudly, "By busy you mean breaking one of the rules of courting and sucking face with Prince Osamu?" Tooru asked as he finally was able to get the nightgown off without messing it up, folding it and putting it in a basket so it can be washed for later.
"Suna! You can't do that!"
"Not everyone is a modest rule follower like you Akaashi" Even though their drama was entertaining he wished they would just shut up for 5 minutes. "Both of you stop shouting before someone hears you"
"Butt out Tooru, you're not in the courting stage anymore, you and the general have the most perfect relationship its disgusting"
"Well Suna they've known each other since they were 6 and Hajime asked to court Tooru when they were 12, married at 17, first kid at 18, by the way how is Tobio?" Atsumu still can't believe that it's okay to court and marry that young, if it were up to him he wouldn't get married until he was at least 25, but here he is 6 months away from his 18th birthday and getting married soon, wait. Atsumu's getting married soon, in less than 3 months to be exact. That's what they were doing today, that's why he's getting ready like it's for something important, it's because it IS important.
Prince Sakusa Kiyoomi was on his way to HIS kingdom for a rehearsal, it was a ceremony rehearsal but still very important. Atsumu was freaking out now, he wasn't ready to see Sakusa again, he wasn't a bad guy or anything, but whenever he even thinks about Sakusa his stomach gets all twisted up and his palms get sweaty and his stupid reproduction organ won't calm down!
"Oh! He's perfect! He's such a good boy and he always listens to everything I say. Although I am glad I stopped breast feeding him because he was a little bit of a biter.."
"That's not what Hajime told Ko-Bokuto-san" Tooru stopped what he was doing with Atsumu's outfit and stared at Akaashi for a few minutes before responding and getting back to what he was doing, "What do you mean? What did he tell him?" Akaashi looked up from where he was going through Atsumu's jewelry box to find his mothers hand me down earrings and stares at Tooru, "Well Hajime told Bokuto-san that Tobio doesn't listen, he defies everything he tells him to do, makes messes, and pulls at his hair"
Tooru gave a face of confusion, "That doesn't sound like my good little boy at all" Suna came back over with a variety of face veils for Atsumu to choose from, "Well maybe he's a momma's boy and doesn't want his mom to see how he acts with his father" Suna held up the veils for Atsumu to choose, they were all pretty he didn't know what to choose.
Many different colors like blue, purple, orange, pink, and yellow. No white, black, or red. In Vrasteovell there were certain colors someone like Atsumu couldn't wear, white because it was only for marriage and young omegas to show purity, black because it was an evil color and was only worn by witches, and red because it represented lust and impurity. Also many different designs, he took a look at the outfit the Tooru was still putting on him. Why are there so many straps? It was blue and long, going all the way down to his feet with gold sprinkled across the trim at the bottom and his sleeves were also gold with gems that Tooru will have to manually put on himself.
Atsumu chose the blue and gold veils to match his outfit and turned to Akaashi and Tooru to get their opinion. "Gold" they both said and went back to their conversation with Suna's input here and there. Suna put the rest up and got his chain hooked to the veil. The only thing that will be shown is Atsumu's eyes and up. After Tooru finally got all the straps secure, Akaashi made him sit down so he could do his makeup while Tooru put the gems on his sleeves with the help of Suna.
...
They were late, Prince Sakusa arrived 2 hours ago and the rehearsal started 1 hour ago, or it was supposed to..but..with the 3 ladies in waiting letting Atsumu sleep in longer than he should of meant they barely had enough time to get ready on time, and from the many straps, the self placement of the gems, and the calm and slow movements for his makeup to make sure nothing got messed up it had took them 4 hours they had a 2 hour head start and still didn't make it. Not only did the other things take a long time, but they had pluck and wax any hair that was visible which were his eyebrows and legs (even though you can only see his ankles and down but he guesses the hair on his legs are TOO visible)
Although it was Atsumu's fault they were late but he had promised to wake up 5 hours early and they trusted him and he didn't stay true to his word. He tried, he did! But his book was too interesting to put down and he might have spent a long time fantasizing about a certain someone that was watching Atsumu's mother reprimand his ladies in waiting.
"There are 3 of you. THREE! And you still can't do one simple job! Honestly I don't understand you guys." His mother then started to judge them all personally. The 3 of them had their heads bowed and didn't dare look at Atsumu's mother, "Suna look up!" Suna had no chance but to look at her, "Do you understand you future position" Suna didn't say anything at first, "Answer me!"
"Yes ma'am I do" Suna said with a shaky voice, Atsumu could tell that his twin brother, Osamu was watching from behind the door from the crack and the scent. Osamu wasn't allowed to come out with Sakusa around since they were twins and had very similar features to Atsumu. "Then you should know that this tardiness is UNACCEPTABLE! Suna flinched slightly at her raised voice "I'm sorry ma'am"
His mother then turned her attention to Akaashi. Unlike Suna, Akaashi's future mate and husband was in the room along with Tooru's mate and husband. "Akaashi..one of my brightest and most brilliant workers. I assigned you to my son because I thought that you would be responsible. Am I to assume that I made the wrong judgment?"
"No ma'am I promise this was only a one time thing" Akaashi hated disappointing people especially those superior to him and he was known to shed a few tears when receiving such disappointment. Atsumu noticed Akaashi looking a little higher than he should so stop the tears from ruining his veil and embarrassing himself, "It better be, I have high expectations of you and I don't want you to let me down" Akaashi nodded "I understand ma'am" And then finally is was Tooru's turn, "Tooru, I understand that you're now a mother and that your son might be your first priority but when something this important-"
"You don't understand your majesty I wasn't with my son, Hajime had him" Atsumu's mother did not look happy, "Do NOT interrupt me again, Tooru" Tooru put his head down, "I'm sorry ma'am I won't do it again"
His mother continued on, "You are married AND bonded to the general, your husband has done so much for this kingdom and this family and you are ruining HIS name" After she had said that the whole room was silent, not even pins would dare to drop. Hajime was silently fuming in the back but didn't dare say anything, especially to the Queen.
All 3 of may leave, if this ever happens again then trust me you will be stripped of everything" She looks directly at Tooru, "You especially will do good to remember that" Tooru put his hands together and closed his eyes to stop from crying, "Leave" the 3 of them quickly make their way out of the room, Hajime and Bokuto go to follow but is stopped but Atsumu's mother telling them that they are to not follow them and stay were she put them.
"We're behind schedule, but we'll do what we can, Atsumu sit" Atsumu knew better than to talk back to his mother so he sat down across from Prince Sakusa and his mother started going over everything that would happen at the ceremony then they both stood and went through all the motions many many times.
An hour and a half later Atsumu's mother released both of the princes to do as they wish although she not so subtly hinted at them walking through the garden even if it was somewhat dark. They did end up doing so to please the queen and not make her angry at them.
...
Atsumu hasn't exactly seen Prince Sakusa for about 4 months, but with the King of Xixuikha sick and bedridden it was expected that Prince Sakusa stay by his fathers side but with no sign of him getting better they pushed the wedding even closer than it was before. Fetmuv 20th (June) is the date of their wedding, but Atsumu has been warned that it might change in a split of a second and so he should be prepared.
The walk was quiet, neither of them not knowing what to say. Eventually they ended up sitting on a bench and they both started looking around for anyone before the scooted closer too close and Sakusa took Atsumus hands in his, "How have you been Atsu''
"I've been better Omi" Omi, a nickname Atsumu gave to Sakusa when they were younger because he had such a hard time pronouncing his name. If his mother found out that they were so comfortable with each other like this she would have suspected that Atsumu was no longer pure and therefore be so dramatic about it that he would be sent to Aidrasta School of The Unpure all the way in the Kingdom of Autrinia. (Atsumu is not lying when he says that that school actually exists and he HAS been threatened to be sent there once)
"I'm so sorry that you had to see what my mother did to my lady's in waiting in there it was wrong of her do say the things she did, and not let at least Hajime go and comfort his mate" Sakusa only nodded his head and starred at their interlocked hands, "Atsumu, I have a question" Atsumu he was serious, Sakusa never used Atsumu's full name like that before its always been Atsu
Atsumu nodded his head for Sakusa to continue, "Why do you always have your face covered around me?" He wasn't expecting that question, and to be honest he didn't exactly know he was just told that as long as he was an unmated omega then he must cover his face so no alpha can see him, only omegas and sometimes betas when in a certain situation. All unmated omegas wear one while out, Hajime only saw Tooru's face for a while because they knew each other before they presented, but after that Hajime never saw a single glance of Tooru's face, that any one is aware of at least.
But what people do know is that when Hajime saw Tooru's face again for the first time he almost had a heart attack because he never remembered Tooru looking that beautiful, but who knows. Hajime's a great actor y'know.
If you're rebellious like Suna then your courting Alpha has already seen your face and touched you in places he shouldn't have, but Suna's good at lying
Atsumu didn't know how to respond so he said the same thing his mother told him, "In Vrasteovell an omegas face is very sacred and must be protected from any force trying to damage it, to put it simply it is our culture to cover hour face"
"Is it also in your culture to change the names of the months" Sakusa teased and Atsumu laughed, "Now Omi, I have no idea why he have different words for our calendars, but mother said that being different makes you stronger or something like that, it didn't exactly make perfect sense"
“Well that's your mother for you"
Sakusa is right, his mother has never made sense ever since the day their father died, she started to become vile and a little vicious to those who spoke out of turn when before she would let them speak their mind then continue her thought. She'd threaten positions after the slightest inconvenience, even had their head chef replaced after he simply forgot to add cheese to a salad, it wasn't even for her.
Sakusa stared right into Atsumus eyes before saying, "I bet you look beautiful under your veil, Atsu" Atsumu blushed, "That was so random omi-omi, what's with the sudden compliment"
"I just felt like it"
Their eye contact was too intense and if someone didn't stop them knowing they were gonna break one of the courting rules, luckily Tooru was sent to fetch Atsumu for his bath before dinner.
The connection was broken and Atsumu had to quickly say goodbye and follow Tooru back to his room.
...
On their way back it was quiet and tense, Tooru had not said a word nor had he even looked at him or shared some of the gossip he heard recently from the maids. In fact Atsumu thinks he saw some red under Tooru's eyes. Tooru was crying..? When they got back to the room Akaashi and Suna were waiting inside for Atsumu and started to undress Atsumu and take his makeup off. 20 minutes to get the whole outfit off and with it gone they guided Atsumu into the warm water and the 3 started to scrub Atsumu.
Atsumu could see how anxious and upset Tooru seemed, Tooru needed to be with his family right now not with him cleaning him up which he is very capable of doing but his mother being his mother insists that he doesn't need to. Atsumu gently took Tooru's hand and made him stop scrubbing soap on his arms and said, "I know you want to be with your family" A pause "So go be with them"
Tooru was speechless, "Are you sure" Atsumu nodded, "Absolutely" With that Tooru set the rag down and bowed slightly to Atsumu, skipping a quick hug because Atsumu was covered in soap and water and quickly left to be with his family
The other 2 got to work shortly after that, "You're a good person Atsumu" Atsumu looked at Akaashi and smiled, "He's right Atsu" another pause "We don't blame you for what happened, we were at fault for believing that you'd get up on time" Atsumu laughed at that and flung water towards Suna who also laughed and splashed right back. Atsumu was lucky to be blessed with these friends
"I can't believe that you're getting married soon"
"I can't believe it either" Atsumu said with a small smile, "Are you excited?"
"Of course I am, but.." They both looked at Atsumu wanting him to continue on with what he's gonna say, but he didn't finish it. Luckily Akaashi knew exactly what he was thinking, "Don't tell me you think he's gonna leave you when he sees your face"
"What if he does?"
"He won't" They both exclaimed, "how do you know" they both looked at him like he was stupid before looking at each other and laughing, "What's so funny!?" they continued to laugh. "We're sorry Atsumu it's just that-" more laughter "You're oblivious"
"What the hell do you mean?" Akaashi wiped his tears of laughter before answering, "Atsumu I've never seen someone look at someone else with so much love and affection" this time is was Atsumu's turn to laugh, "Then you obviously have never looked at Bokuto" Akaashi's cheeks turned red, redder than Atsumus red skin from all the scrubbing, "I don't know what you mean!" Suna responded this time "Bokuto is probably one of the most affectionate people I know no one loves more than he does and no one ever gets the look he does when you simply enter the room" Atsumu nodded in agreement, "You two are crazy" Akaashi went back to washing Atsumu and went onto his hair
They stayed in the bathroom for another good 30 minutes just talking and laughing before Atsumu got out and Suna got his nightgown for him. Akaashi and Suna retreated into their sleeping quarters as Atsumu laid down to go to bed. Does he dream of Sakusa? A family with him? Other things? Atsumu is the only one who knows. And Suna of course
...
5 AM. 5 AM and Tooru comes bursting through the door, dragging Akaashi and Suna along with him. They were tired and leaning against the wall and each other while closing their eyes just wanting to go back to sleep. Tooru threw Atsumu's blanket off of him, jolting him awake, "What the hell Tooru?" Atsumu looked out his window to see that it was still dark outside.
Tooru just ignored him and pulled him to stand up, "Suna! Akaashi! Enough of your laziness we need to get him ready!" They both just groaned, "Tooru it's 5 in the morning and doesn't need to be down there until 3 in the afternoon" Tooru just ignores them as well and walks over to Atsumu's wardrobe to get his dress for the day. Atsumu looked at the other two with a confused and tired look, "Why am I getting ready at 5 AM when I don't need to be wherever I need to be for another 10 hours!"
"We have no clue Atsu, he just came into our rooms and dragged us with him, I mean usually he waits until the latest he can to do this"
"You both heard what his mother said to us, we have to get him ready on time and be serious about our job"
"I don't think that was what she said"
"Well it was implied"
"Since when did you care what other people thought about you?"
"Since they brought my family into it"
Atsumu understands now, "Tooru..don't listen to what my mother says, she doesn't understand" Tooru threw what he was holding down, "Well she's right! I can't be a bother to Hajime any more, your mother has given him so much and I can't get in the way of his success!"
"I have to do my best to give back what was given' to me"
Atsumu stood up from his bed and walked over to Tooru and grabbed his hand, "Tooru, my mother has nothing to do with the life that you have right now, you and Hajime created that together" Tooru was silent. Atsumu looked over at Akaashi and Suna and made the motion to help out, "He's right, you both worked hard for what you accomplished"
"Oh what the hell did I accomplish? Hajime made general, he's won awards, he's loved by people..and me? I bathe and dress royalty-which I have no problem with because you're my friend-but you don't get anything from that but scoldings for doing something wrong"
"Tooru, you do so much for everyone, not just me"
"Like what"
"When Akaashi was too scared to talk to Bokuto, you gave him confidence and pushed him to it, even though he backed out the first time and made a complete fool of himself"
"Hey!"
"When Suna was scared of getting caught by my mom you distracted her for a whole day, I don't know anyone who can put up with her for that long"
Oikawa wasn't completely convinced yet, "What about Hajime? What have I done for him?"
Atsumu smiled, "You gave him a son that he loves so much" Suna piped in, "You said yes to courting him" then Akaashi, "You exist" Tooru isn't someone that can be convinced as fast as other may think, but the other 3 know that he'll come to realize what they say is true in due time. "I'm sorry guys I guess I haven't really changed much since we got married, I'm still letting other people's opinion get to me" Atsumu grabbed Tooru's hand, "The only opinion that matters is yours"
"And Hajimes" Atsumu looked at Suna, "Suna that's not helping"
"What? I'm just saying that laws are still in place that make omegas seem like fragile and weak beings that need an alpha, it's not fair"
Atsumu just ignored Suna's antics. He is right though, there are many laws that forbid omegas from doing a lot of things, like taking over kingdoms. Sometimes Atsumu wished he was an Alpha like his brother, but then he thinks that if he was then he wouldn't know Kiyoomi and wouldn't be marrying him in a few weeks. "So are we still gonna be getting me ready this early?" The 3 ladies in waiting look at each other then look back at Atsumu, "No, but you're not going back to sleep" Atsumu groaned, "Why!"
"Because if we let you go back to sleep then you won't wake up on time and you'll miss today, it's very special" that quirked Atsumu's interest, "Remind me, what are we doing today?" The 3 of them smile at Atsumu, "You're spending the whole day with Prince Sakusa today doing whatever you two want" Suna had a smirk on his face when he said, "And if a certain pair wanted to have some alone time, me and Akaashi here just so happen to be taking the queen out the the fabric store at the edge of town for a certain someone's wedding dress to be made" Tooru then mouthed 'By foot'. Akaashi was quick to say, "I'm completely against it though but you may do whatever you two may want" Suna rolled his eyes and looked at Akaashi, "Holy shit Akaashi break the rules every now and then you're so up tight" Akaashi had a offended look and gasped, "I break the rules sometimes"
"Holding Bokuto's hand doesn't count" Suna and Akaashi continued their little banter so Atsumu turned to talk to Tooru, "What will you be doing?" Oikawa looked over from where he was looking and Akaashi and Suna, "Oh, I have to visit the doctor"
"Is it anything serious?"
"I'm sure I'm fine" Suna then stopped his fight to butt into their conversation, "Tooru's pregnant" he was quick to defend himself, "I am not! Stop telling people that before Hajime hears and I have to go through the celebration party he WILL throw" Hajime loves kids, or he loves a pregnant Tooru. Probably both.
They sat there just talking about things that have been happening recently, mostly how Akaashi finally is out of the stage of always being watched in his courtship before there was a knock at the door, it was gentle with a little bit of urgency. Tooru immediately got up off his spot on the bed and flung the door open. There on the other side, stood no other than Iwaizumi Hajime, Tooru's mate. He looked a lit distressed, "Hajime are you alright?" Hajime looked at Tooru for a second before he was engulfed in a bone crushing hug, "Sorry, I just woke up and was scared when I saw that you weren't there" Tooru just smiled and laughed while caressing Hajimes face and giving him a short kiss, "I'm perfectly fine Hajime, how about we go back to our room before Tobio wakes up and sees both of his parents missing" Hajime nodded and grabbed Tooru's hand ready to walk away not even caring that Tooru was with them and pleased that he would leave them for him. Tooru turned to look at the others, mostly Atsumu and Suna, "I'll be back AT 10:30 on the dot, I expect for you guys to be up and ready for your duties, and no sleeping you won't wake up if you do so you 3 better start drinking some coffee now" He starred for a few more seconds then directly addressed Akaashi, "You're in charge until I come back" they weren't allowed to respond since Hajime saw it fit to just drag Tooru away mumbling a 'you're taking too long let's go'.
"Oh he's so pregnant!" Atsumu looked at Suna, "How do you know?"
"Hajime acted the same way when Tooru was pregnant with Tobio" Atsumu looked at Akaashi to confirm this and he simply nodded his head before saying, "He's right he did, Daichi and Ushijima acted the same way when their partners were pregnant as well" Well shit, Toorus's pregnant with another baby.
...
It was now 10:20, 10 minutes before Tooru came back and Suna was asleep. The other 2 kept their promise of staying up trying to find something to do was hard, but they managed to. 10 minutes later exactly there was a knock on the door and then it opened. Tooru came in and saw Suna asleep and just shook his head, "Suna! Wake up!" Tooru walked over to him and smacked him in his head with a pillow. Suna jolted awake, "I'm up! What's wrong!" Suna looked over at Tooru who was just laughing, "Come on we have to get Atsumu ready." After that was said all 3 of the ladies in waiting started doing their tasks, Tooru on his outfit, Akaashi on his makeup, and Suna on his veil and shoes. Today there will be no gems thank god
It only took 3 hours today to get him ready, and Atsumu had 2 hours left until he had to meet with Sakusa, "Now what?" they all just looked at each other, "I guess lets just find something to talk about" Akaashi perked up and immediately asked Tooru a question, "What's it like to be pregnant?" The whole room went quiet when Tooru didn't know what to say, "What do you mean?"
"When you were pregnant with Tobio how did it make you feel?"
"Why are you asking me?!"
"You're the only friend I have that's been pregnant"
"I am not! Koushi and Satori have both been pregnant as well" that's true they both have been pregnant before, Satori just had his baby a few months ago, "Well yeah but I don't wanna bother Satori right now and Koushi gets embarrassed when someone talks about it" Atsumu spoke next, "That doesn't sound like him at all"
"Yeah, I'm confused too" Akaashi looked back at Tooru, "Please answer the question Tooru" Tooru thought for a minute, "Fine, okay." The other 3 straighten up and pay attention, "When I was pregnant it was the best feeling in the world, knowing that you're carrying the baby of the person you love so much and giving them a family. It gives you this fuzzy and warm feeling all over, especially when you feel them move inside you" Suna did a fake gag at that and Tooru sent him a glare telling him silently to shut up, "It almost makes you sad when you give birth to them" Suna laughed, "Well I for one don't want to stay pregnant and probably don't want to BE pregnant for a while"
"That's what I thought, until I got pregnant and had Tobio, babies change you" Suna rolled his eyes, "I'm sure they do" Tooru ignored him and looked back at Keiji, "Why are you so curious anyways?" Akaashi didn't speak, he needed time and they knew that so they gave it to him. "I think I'm having pregnancy fever or something" Akaashi said it in something that was barely a whisper, but Atsumu heard it, "Akaashi!"
"I'm pretty sure it's called baby fever" Suna looked over to Tooru for confirmation, but Tooru just ignored him and scooted over to Akaashi and wrapped his arm around him, "Why do you think that?"
Akaashi was hesitant to answer, "I have no idea, it's just every time I see Bokuto I have this urge to jump him right then and there, I've had to be held back twice" Tooru laughed and Suna responded, "I think you're just horny"
"Don't be so vulgar!" Tooru made a motion with his hand to calm Akaashi down then continued, "Beside the plain attraction to Bokuto what else is there?" Akaashi took a moment to breathe, "I've been having dreams about it"
Suna stood up abruptly from the bed, "It's offical, Akaashi has gone insane!" Tooru grabbed Suna by his arm and yanked him back down, "Suna stop being dramatic, yes it's weird that he's dreaming about being pregnant, but it happens"
"You're too supportive" That was true, Tooru had this habit of pleasing everyone around him and making everyone feel better. It's just how he is and nothing is wrong with that.
Everyone had ended up laughing and joking until it was time for Atsumu to leave and meet with Sakusa. Tooru had left about 30 minutes ago to head to his doctor appointment, they weren't gonna tell him what they thought because Suna had said that it would be funny for him to freak out (especially since Tooru won't freak out until he's alone in a room with them or by himself) and then Akaashi reasoned and said that he wouldn't believe them if they had something, which makes more since.
Atsumu meet Sakusa down near the gates of the castle all alone (surprisingly). Atsumu felt like he was floating on clouds already and he wasn't even near him yet. How was he gonna survive a whole day with him, well until 10PM which was curfew for all Vrasteovell residents and even visitors, children 13 and under need to be inside by 9PM unless accompanied by someone 14 or older.
When Sakusa noticed Atsumu making his way to him a smile immediately appeared on his stoic features, "Good evening beautiful, how was your day so far?" Atsumu's face was in fact red, redder then the most healthiest rose, "I had an early start to my day but, but so far everything has been going fine"
"That is wonderful darling, lets get on with our day then, I would like to know more about your kingdom" They had both started walking towards the village
"Why would you, when we're married we'll be living in Xixuikha would we not?" Sakusa chuckled at his question, "We would my love, but with our marriage it would also form an alliance between our two kingdoms and I would like to know about your kingdom that produced such a beautiful person" Sakusa said as he took Atsumu's hand into his. Atsumu smiled and looked at their hands, "You are aware that you are breaking some major rules"
"I am, but it's so worth it and we're alone right now" Atsumu released his hand from Sakusa's grip and instead interlocked their arms, "We are, but soon we will not be" Atsumu looked ahead where he could see the village coming into view, "You never let me have any fun"
"A thank you would do fine, I am saving both you and I from backlash from some very old fashioned people"
"Of course sweetheart how could I not say such a thing, let me apologize for my rudeness" Sakusa got in front of Atsumu and got down on his knees and placed his hand over his heart, "My lord Atsumu please forgive me for being so rude to you this evening I did not intend to offend you my love" Atsumu could feel the blood rush to his face and his heart start picking up; beating so fast and loud that he was sure that the spectators they had could hear it.
A-apology accepted Omi" Sakusa stood and locked their arms again as they started walking. Atsumu didn't know where they were going, but he trusted Sakusa with his whole life that he mindlessly followed wherever Sakusa led them. Sakusa didn't know exactly where he was going, so he was wandering around guiding Atsumu places as they talked.
Talking and walking around with Sakusa has to be one of the best days Atsumu has ever had. Basically any day where he spent time with Sakusa was a good day or maybe Atsumu was just overly in love with Sakusa. Definitely in love.
Sakusa ended up taking Atsumu places he's never been before from the restrictions of being a prince. He even got to try some street food he really liked, it might be awhile until he goes back to eating palace food (don't tell his mom).
"Is there anywhere you would like to head to next beautiful?" Atsumu thought for a second before smiling and pulling Sakusa towards a secluded area where a lake was located. The lake was somewhere Atsumu use to sneak off to so he didn't have to deal with his mother (and his brother on some occasions). He found the lake one day when he and Tooru snuck out, Tooru knew the woods pretty well and was able to guide them around without getting hurt or lost.
It was the night before Tooru's wedding and he was pretty nervous so they went out against Akaashi's wishes. Thats when they stumbled upon the lake, it was in a clearing where the moon can shine through and makes the lake glow with light. It was beautiful and calming.
He trusted Sakusa so it was a no brainier on bringing him here, "This is a very beautiful place angel"
"Me and Tooru found it one day and I've been coming here ever since, it's very relaxing"
"I can see that" Atsumu stared at Sakusa and couldn't help but think how beautiful he is in this light. He could see every detail on his face, the light really brought out his beautiful eyes. When Atsumu was brought back to reality he saw that Sakusa was starring at him as well, looking just as in love as Atsumu is looking.
"What?"
"You were the one starring gorgeous"
"Maybe I think that you're beautiful"
"You're beautiful" Sakusa always said something that made Atsumu's insides churn and his palms become sweaty. Every time he thinks about breaking the rules just to feel Sakusa's lips against his, "I know what you're thinking"
"Do you?"
"I do"
"What am I thinking?"
"You want to kiss me" Damn he really did know, "Maybe" Sakusa smirked, "Do it"
"It's against the rules"
"To hell with the rules, live a little..besides no ones gonna see so no one's gonna know" Sakusa's words were very convincing almost too convincing so convincing that it had Atsumu breaking the rules, "Cover your eyes"
"You still won't let me see you?" Atsumu laughed, "Absolutely not that's one thing that you're gonna have to be patient for" Sakusa only smiled as he closed his eyes, "No peaking"
"I won't I promise" Atsumu slowly lifted his veil and brought his face closer to Sakusa's. When their lips touched Atsumu actually almost melted right then and there, if it wasn't for Sakusa's hand that wrapped around his waist he would of already been on the floor. The kiss was so soft and gentle Atsumu felt like he might cry from how soft Sakusa was being. It felt like years before the pulled apart and Atsumu was dropping his veil, he wanted to do it again so bad, but the sun was setting and they needed to head home soon.
"You are truly the most amazing person I have ever met, I can't wait to marry you Atsumu" Atsumu smiled "I can't wait to marry you Kiyoomi"
...
Sakusa and Atsumu departed ways once they entered the palace walls. Atsumu immediately ran to his room where he knew his friends were waiting for him to tell them everything. Once Atsumu entered the room all 3 of them automatically sat up from where they were and turned their attention the Atsumu. Once he made sure no one was around and that his door was closed and turned towards the others who were waiting eagerly for the news. He couldn't stop the smile from forming on his face, Suna got tired of waiting so he made Atsumu hurry up, "Hurry up and tell us already I didn't spend a whole day with your mothers blabber mouth just to come back and have you hide the juicy shit so come on!"
"Okay okay calm down" Atsumu felt giddy remembering what happened, "We kissed" there was a pause for the whole room erupted in yelling. The yelling was a tad bit too loud because a minute later there was 3 Alphas barging through the door. Akaashi was quick to hide behind Tooru and had to force Suna to hide as well. All the alphas ended up talking at the same time
"What's wrong we heard screaming!"
"Tooru are you okay!"
"Shut the hell up!"
Bokuto, Hajime, and Osamu all stood in the doorway, 2 with a look of concern the other with a look of annoyance (3 guesses on who that one is) luckily Atsumus back was turned to the door or else their would be some trouble. Tooru starred blankly at all 3 of the alphas, "We're sorry for the noise, but there are 3 unmarried omegas in this room so please step out" Tooru's voice had a little venom in it making the alphas listen and step outside the room.
Well all but one because Hajime stayed, "You too Hajime I'm fine I just got a little excited" Tooru stood and walked towards Hajime. When he made it over their Hajime had his arm around Tooru, "I'm sorry I'm just a little on edge because you know.." Tooru nodded and caressed Hajimes face, "I know, but everything is okay, go to bed I'll join you soon" He nodded and left the room (closing the door as well)
Tooru turned to the others to see their confused faces, "What?"
"What was Hajime talking about?" Akaashi was quick to answer which startled Tooru a bit, "It's nothing special really"
"Nothing special?! Hajime looked like he was about to kill someone" Suna wasn't over exaggerating at all Hajime actually looked like he might kill someone.
Atsumu tried to calm everyone down, "It's alright guys Hajimes basically always like that but I'm curious too what did he mean by that?" Tooru sighed, "I'm pregnant"
It took a minute for that to process and when it did they almost screamed (again) but was shushed quickly so they didn't have people barge in again, "That's amazing Tooru"
When Akaashi said that Tooru started crying, "No it's not" they all rushed over and tried to comfort him and ask him what was wrong but before they could speak Tooru spoke again, "My boobs are gonna get big again!"
All 3 of them groaned and sat down, "It serious!" they all just rolled their eyes and thought that Tooru was being dramatic, "Just wait till you get pregnant Atsumu you won't be rolling your eyes then" it didn't do the effect that Tooru wanted it actually made Atsumu blush and shut down.
"Are you serious Atsumu!" all 3 of the ladies in waiting yelled
...
One morning the ladies in waiting came into the room all dressed for something special with smiles on their faces, "Why do you guys seem so happy?" Atsumu had just woken up a few minutes ago and hasn't yet processed what day it was today and the others realized that, "Well Atsumu today is a very special day"
"What day is it" Atsumu responded to Akaashi. They all laughed and Suna said, "Well today is the day your husband get's to see your face"
"My husband?" it took a couple minutes but he soon realized, "Oh my god I'm getting married today!" Atsumu immediately shot up out of bed, "Come on I have to get ready"
"We know Atsumu that's why we're here in the first place" Atsumu was very impatient right now, "Then come on" Akaashi laughed, "It's a good thing we got ready before we headed over" the other two responded "Totally" they laughed and started working on Atsumu.
Tooru gently removed Atsumu's wedding dress from the bag it was placed in. When he Atsumu saw it he couldn't help be tear up, "It's wonderful-I wanna put it on now!" he tried to grab it but Tooru quickly pulled it out of Atsumu's reach, "Ah ah ah makeup first, this beauty isn't gonna get ruined before you get married in it" Atsumu whined but sat down in the chair beside Akaashi to get his make up down while Suna did his hair.
When they were finished he looked towards Tooru, "Can I wear it now please!" Atsumu asked like a kid wanting dessert before dinner, "Yes Atsumu you can wear it now" The 3 ladies in waiting carefully placed the dress on him and made sure all the silk wraps are tightly secured, "Why are we securing this if Sakusa's just gonna tare it off anyways?"
"Suna you've obviously never been married"
"Yes Tooru I haven't been married the veil that I'll be wearing today is going to show that"
"You're funny..what's going to happen is that you'll return to this room and put on a nightgown, then someone will retrieve you and you will make your way to Sakusa's room to basically do what you both please and it doesn't have to be sex"
"Boring" Akaashi elbowed Suna to tell him to shut up. When the dress was perfect and the shoes were on a knock was at the door. Tooru gave Suna a stern look and made sure he turned out with Akaashi. Knowing it was Atsumu's brother Tooru opened door to let him in.
Osamu came in and stopped, "I want to say something mean but I can't bring myself to say anything" Atsumu saw tears form in his eyes. He went to hug his brother but stopped them both, "Uh ah you'll ruin the dress with tears" Osamu nodded and backed up, "I just came to say that we're ready for you" with that he left and closed the door behind them. The click of the door had the other two turning.
"Cover up and we'll go" the 3 unmarried ones put their veils on and got ready to leave, "Soon you won't have to wear this anymore"
"I'm excited" They all laughed and made their way down.
...
They stopped at the door and had to part ways, the 3 ladies in waiting went inside to sit down while Atsumu stood nervously behind the door with his brother
Atsumu asked (begged) his brother to walk down the isle with him so he wouldn't be alone. Of course Osamu agreed, but he did need to wear something to cover his face - that he wasn't excited about at all.
"Are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be" the doors opened and they both had to walk. To Atsumu it was almost too fast before he made it to Sakusa. For Sakusa Atsumu couldn't walk any slower. Both were shaking with excitement and couldn't wait until they were next to each other. Osamu gave his brother to Sakusa before leaving to sit next to their mother. They couldn't touch yet without the priests approval first.
The music that Atsumu didn't even realize was playing had stopped and the priest raised his hand to motion the two to join their hands together. Once they did the ceremony continued just as they practiced months before.
First with some words from the priest, then a red string was wrapped around the wrists - they say that if the string isn't wet from sweat by the end of the ceremony then the couple will have a happy marriage - next the priest said a few more words before Sakusa had to repeat the words the priest says
I Sakusa Kiyoomi promise to cherish Prince Miya Atsumu until the gods relinquish my time. I promise to protect and love Prince Miya Atsumu until it runs out. I promise to never harm Prince Miya Atsumu for if I do I will cut out my own tongue yeah they were a little messed up
Sakusa placed a ring on Atsumu's finger then it was his turn to say his part
I Miya Atsumu promise to stay by Prince Sakusa Kiyoomi's side and guide him through any hard time he may have. I promise to relieve Prince Sakusa Kiyoomi's worries and stress and love him until I die. I promise I will forever be Prince Sakusa Kiyoomi's shoulder to rest his head upon for if I should betray him I will cut off my own head these were a little more messed up than the other
Atsumu placed a ring on Sakusa's hand. The priest lowered his hands and said, "You Prince Sakusa Kiyoomi may now remove Prince Sakusa Atsumu's veil and kiss"
Kiyoomi's hands slowly move up and take off Atsumu's veil. When Kiyoomi saw his face for the first time he couldn't stop his heart from speeding up, Atsumu was the most beautiful person he has ever seen, "You're the one starring this time" Kiyoomi laughed "You're beautiful" Kiyoomi finally pulled Atsumu closer and kissed him.
It was just as perfect as the first time. The string around them was cut off and checked for moisture. Luckily there was none. Atsumu and Kiyoomi were finally married. Kiyoomi finally saw his beautiful wives face for the first time and it was even better than anything that he's ever imagined.
"I love you Atsu"
Atsumu couldn't stop the smile from spreading, "I love you Omi"
