[oikawa let out an undignified huff as he tapped his foot impatiently on the ground. he was angry, and upset, for sure. but he also didn't like feeling as if he were being forced into doing something? and this was exactly what was happening. he was getting forced into an arranged marriage of sorts to some princely alpha.

of course, that's not to say that he wasn't a of royal lineage either. because he definitely was! but he wanted to love freely? he didn't want someone to dictate who it was he committed the rest of his life to. and here he is. being forced to do everything he loathed.

yes, it was for the sake of his country, and it was supposed to help end the two from going into anymore wars. but. he doesn't even know this person! he's only heard stories of him? and from what he has heard of he doesn't really like him. more importantly he doesn't want the other to view him as some weak omega. because he most certainly is not one of those weak push over omegas!

gritting his teeth, he took to tapping his finger on the arm rest instead. how long was this guy going to take?! surely if he was going to meet his so "betrothed" he would have gotten there early with time to spare! it's not like he doesn't have a country to rule over after all, he could be listening to claims and giving the people what they need.]

How long is he going to take?

Sorry for the delay, there was an issue back home that needed my attention.

[ Such was the role of a prince. It was a minor dispute between two lords, but still, Ushijima needed to see to it. Enough to have warranted a delay in his departure. ]

But I am Prince Ushijima Wakatoshi; I assume you are Prince Oikawa?

[noogied]

[oikawa resists the urge to roll his eyes as he brings a hand to pinch his nose. he's not gonna decimate his new... betrothed in front of everyone to see. that isn't becoming of an omega king. (sure it would probably be queen since idefk we're gonna roll with demoralization when it comes to abo rolls. and oikawa isn't the type to let himself be called queen so willingly)

so instead he focuses on the other's assumption and lets out a chortle] No they just let any random Joe wear a crown and sit upon a throne. Of course I'm Prince Oikawa.

[a beat later] The Kingdom of Aobajousai would like to humbly offer any gratitude of you staying here.

[lefties]

It wouldn't do good to make any presumptions.

[ he bows ] It is a pleasure to meet you, Prince Oikawa Tooru.

[noogied]

[he just wants to wipe the floor with that smug face of his!!! it's!!! so infuriating to look at!!!] Which is why I haven't mentioned or brought up your tardiness, because I'm sure you have a perfectly legitimate reason as to why you are... as late as you are, but time is precious to me and my people. I hope it's not something that becomes a common occurrence later on.

But no, the pleasure is all mine, Prince Ushiwaka.

[lefties]

Prince Ushijima.

[noogied]

Prince Ushiwaka.

[lefties]

Prince Ushijima Wakatoshi.

[noogied]

And that is a mouthful, so, Ushiwaka.

[lefties]

Perhaps Wakatoshi, since are to be married.

[noogied]

We've only just met one another, I can hardly consider this the basis of calling you by your first name.

[lefties]

Merely a suggestion.

Ushijima is fine for now.

[noogied]

A suggestion that will more than likely fall on deaf ears, Ushiwaka.

[lefties]

You're a stubborn one, aren't you?

[noogied]

You mean you didn't know??

[he turns to look over at his guard before waving them away dismissively. he knows it would be foolish for ushijima to even attack him here in the throne room of all places. but he doesn't want what he has to say be heard by anyone else other than ushijima. so once they are gone (with pleading looks to and fro) he clears his throat and finally looks at the other.]

Were it not for the sake of my people I wouldn't have even entertained this... courtship idea at all.

[lefties]

And why is that, if I may ask?

[noogied]

Because I don't want to be tied down by stupid ideals that are expected of me because of what I am. I am not some... prize to be claimed, I'm a human being just like you. I don't know you, and nor you me, and frankly, I don't want to. But because I love my people and wish to see this... petty war that was brought upon us by relatives that aren't even alive anymore come to an end I will do my best to remain diplomatic as possible. But I just don't like you.

[whoop there it is]

[lefties]

That is fine, marriage for us was never about love to begin with.

[noogied]

[he smooths down his pants before letting out a small hum] I'm glad we are on the same page then.

[lefties]

We have our roles to perform. So long as they are done, everything should be fine.

[noogied]

....of course this also means neither of us can have a side piece.

[lefties]

I had no intention of being unfaithful.

[noogied]

[he flinches] You-- really?

[lefties]

Based on love or not, a marriage is still a marriage and I always had intentions to honor mine.

[noogied]

I... wasn't expecting that.

[lefties]

Were you expecting me to be like the typical alpha who intends to spread my seed as far as I can?
