"Princess! Please wake up we have much to do" Mayu whispered lightly tapping the you, who was still sleeping.
"Urghhh...whyyy it's so early" You groaned, pushing her hand off the shoulder she passed.
"Miss, It's your coming of age ceremony today, we need to get you ready!" She pleaded "Please princess...while the sun hasn't risen yet."
"Coming of...age?" You mumbled opening your eyes "MY COMING OF AGE CEREMONY" You repeated springing off your bed looking around.
"Mayu! It's today!? Why didn't- why didn't you tell me?" You whined gettimg off the bed.
"I just d- nevermind. Follow me for your bath please" Mayu lightly tapped your back
"My bath? I can take a bath myself" You stated.
"Princess as much as i love your independent spirit, i ask that you let us do our job today. Alright?"
"Us? Our?"
"That's right, you'll be in our care today" She smirked opening the washroom door to reveal 4 more maids in the washoom.
"Uh..Good-morning- AH!" She was dragged into the washroom swiftly.
♤
A little while later you found yourself in a large tub filled with various soaps flower petals and essential oils that Mayu said; Would make you glow throughout the day. 3 maids scrubbed your arms and legs, Mayu, washed your hair and another rinsed the soap off you.
"I still don't see the need for you 5 to bathe me" you complained as Mayu poured another bowl of warm water over your head making your hair stick to your face "you did that on purpose didn't you?" You grumbled making Mayu snicker.
"Oh did i? I apologise." She chuckled "Now, Princess wrap this cloth around you" she said handing you a large cotton cloth.
You used it as a towel as they guided you to the small station they assembled in your washroom. They sat you down.
"What's going on?"
"We have to do your nails" Another maid answered.
"Nails my nails are fi-" you brought your fingers close to your face and you saw dirt under your nails. "Ugh fine.."
"So Princess you know what today means" A maid winked.
"Sachiko! Stop you'll make her nervous" Mira smacked her collegue.
"Well i think it's a good thing" Akari shrugged.
"Just tell her" Mayu demanded "I'm sure she's excited about it"
"I wonder how many will ask for your hand today" Sae winked.
"My hand?"
"Well- coming of age, it means you're officially allowed to court. Usually all the males of the Kingdom start making their moves on the coming of age ceremonies" Akari explained.
"Huh? So wait- that means people will ask to be my marriage candidates?"
"Yes! I'm sure there'll be men lining up to dance with you" Mayu swooned.
"Me? Oh not really" she shrugged and all the maids sweatdropped at her oblivion. Is she really this stupid?
"Well I'm sure Sir Tobio would want to dance with you. He's always around you" Sachiko suggested filing the nails on your right hand.
"Tobio?"
"No no no... Sir Haiba~ he's been the Princess' number one" Sae shook her head.
"I hope Sir Rintaro of the North comes, Princess you always feel comfortable around him" Mira smiled.
"I'm sure Sir Kei might make a move! Have you seen the way he looks at our Princess?" Akari protested.
"Uh.. i know I've been practicing this dance but i don't think anyone would want to dance with me aside from my brothers" You sighed.
"Nonsense! Princess you need to be more confident!" Mayu protested.
"Yeah. Just be confident and watch all of them fall to your feet" Sae added.
"Hehe i think that's an overstatement Sae.." You chuckled
"Oh whatever! We must get you ready immediately" Mayu clapped her hands. "Next, Hair."
"BOOM! I'M HERE" someone yelled barging into the room.
"Yū. You're supposed to knock before entering a lady's bedroom" Kiyoko sighed walking in with her husband.
"When did you get back?" You asked turning to Yū, a year ago he spontaneously decided to stop combat even though he was extremely talented at it.
He said the Royal Lifestyle started to feel suffocating and he wanted to travel the world. And so he did. The family was skeptical about it at first but decided to support him.
"Yesterday night, you were alseep. I missed you" He smiled pulling you into a tight hug. He hadn't changed much aside from the visible tan on his skin. He looked exotic.
"I missed you too!" You smiled "Good-morning Kiyoko, Ryū"
"Happy Birthday Princess" Kiyoko waved smiling at you.
"I brought you tons of gifts fro-"
"Sires..my apologies but we run on a tight schedule the Princess isn't dressed yet" Mayu cleared her throat.
"You can continue, we'll talk to her as you're brushing her hair"
"You're not doing that" Kiyoko cut in "only her father is allowed to see her before the ceremony"
"Huh? Who says?" Ryū interrupted.
"Everyone. It's traditional" you tilted your head.
"Come on~ it's not like it matters"
"Yū. Get your ass up before i hit you." Kiyoko whispered harshly.
"Ah! Yes ma'am" He said jumping off the bed "bye bye (Y/n)! See you in a few hours"
Ah finally the dress was on you and your hair was done, you stared at yourself in disbelief.
You looked amazing, you didn't even recognize yourself. You just thought it was the light make up they put on your face that made you look like this.
"Princess" Mayu sniffed "you look amazing" she burst into tears along with the other 4.
You just stared at them with wide eyes
Should i cry too?.
"Pardon me, we will go and get Akaashi now" Sae bowed and all the maids left.
Akaashi came in shortly after.
"Wow..." he exhaled "Princess you look....stunning" He smiled at you.
"Really? Heh. Thanks" she smiled talking his hand.
"I must Escort you to your father" he said leading you out of the room and you nodded.
Mayu was right, it was dawn when she woke you up and now it was already bright outside.
Most of the guards were downstairs guarding the Entrances and exits. Guests had already started to arrive at the hall. It was the building farthest from where the King lived and it was mostly used for Royal events.
You never actually expected this whole Birthday thing to be a huge deal.
"Well then, this is my stop. Happy Birthday Princess." Akaashi smiled once more before opening the door.
She walked into her father's office to see the back of the man staring out of the window looking deep in thought.
"(Y/N)! YOU LOOK AMAZING" Takeda yelled running towards you pulling you into a hug "My baby~ she's all grown up!"
"Happy Birthday" Keishin smiled patting your head.
He imagined a million scenarios of how he'd wish you a happy birthday in the manliest way possible but he ended up just saying it normally.
"Thanks.." you smiled looking at your feet.
"Okay now, let's go over some things" Takeda started "I'm sure you already know this but I'll explain anyway"
"There are guests outside. They're currently making speeches and introducing everyone who's going in. Right now, food will be brought here for you to eat because you'll be here till afternoon, that's when you debut. You'll dance with your father like practiced then you're free for the rest of the day."
"What if i fall?"
"You won't fall we practiced." Keishin cut in "now eat up" he said handing you a plate of (favourite food). (Messy eaters be like: 👁👄👁)
Time flew by and it was already afternoon, all the guests were settled in the hall and the King was told to escort you and soon you found yourself at the entrance of the hall a nervous wreak.
"INTRODUCING; SIR KEISHIN UKAI AND PRINCESS (Y/N)" Someone yelled from the other side of the door. Suddenly the door swung open catching you by surprise and your Father escorted you inside.
"Is that her? Dear she looks Divine"
"Takashi, you must talk to her"
"Wow she looks different"
"Mind your mouth her father's there"
You walked down the red carpet feeling nervous under the crowd's gaze, you looked up and saw Koushi standing near Asahi who both shot you a comforting smile, you smiled back at them and soon you'd reached the end of the carpet.
"COMMENCING THE FIRST DANCE"
Oh shit. It's happening
Its happening!!
Music started to play and the Magicians made the room dark, you saw Kenma standing in the corner with his hair packed in a neat bun. He smiled at you and continued what he was doing.
The lights looked like little fireflies in the room, it was quite dim but you could see.
"You seem stiff. Still nervous?" Your dad asked looking at you. No shit.
"Yeah. But I'm calming down" you answered.
"That's good" he smiled "You've gotten so big it's hard to believe i used to carry you with one arm" He chuckled
"Haha.."
"You've grown to be so beautiful. I bet you got that from me" he smirked.
"Way to kill the sentiment" you rolled your eyes jokingly.
"I'm sure your mom would be proud" He sighed.
"It's just a birthday dad" you said "you're all acting like it's the end of the world!"
"Yeah but now boys are gonna w-"
The music stopped and the lights came back on signifying the end of the first dance. The musicians started playing a faster song and soon the guests started to pile onto the dancefloor and you were snatched from your father.
"Daichi Hey!" You smiled up at your brother
"Happy birthday" he smiled "that dress suits you"
"Aww thanks" You giggled "i guess you look...okay" you joked.
You talked for a little while before being interrupted by someone else.
"Mind if i cut in?" Asahi asked nicely.
"No- go dance with your wife" Daichi frowned.
"Let me rephrase that. Move." Asahi spoke.
"But-"
"Come on little brother- you don't have a choice" He smirked pulling the 'I'm older than you' card.
"Fine.." He said "just don't step on her feet. We all know you can't dance"
You didn't even dance with Asahi for a minute and he'd been stepping on your feet. He got a bit shy as some people had noticed and gave you to Hitoshi.
"What happened to him?" Hitoshi asked.
"He can't dance" You commented.
"Well me neither..." Hitoshi stated. You both just stood infront of eachother awkwardly
~~
You had just finished dancing with all your brothers, Aran and Atsumu Plus Uncle Takeda and Kita, they just kept coming. Your feet started to ache in the heels you wore i should have just worn my boots' you thought.
You frowned a bit looking for Rintaro, you only caught a glimpse of him when you danced with his brothers. You were quite upset he didn't even ask to dance with you.
You sighed shaking trying to get your mind off things
"Hajime look at that~" You turned to see Torū with his usual aide.
"That's Iwaizumi to you" He grit his teeth.
"Or else what Iwa-Chan?" Torū protested, his face inching close to the other man's. "Gonna punish me again."
"Mmhm what if i-"
"Keep it PG!" You interrupted, moving closer to them with disgust written all over your face.
"Well if it isn't the Lady of the day" Torū announced as she stopped in front of them.
"Good-day, Princess" Iwaizumi bowed in respects as he greeted you.
"Sup Iwa-Chan~" you teased making his cheeks warm up a bit.
"Oh you heard that?" Torū chuckled "Well there's no hiding it from you then"
"Are you two courting?" You asked tilting your head "is that allowed?"
"Something like that" Iwaizumi answered. "We're more like partners" he said proudly.
Partners.. like partners in crime? I don't understand.
"Oh cool." You nodded.
"Did you know you were supposed to marry me?" Torū said out of the blue making you choke on air.
"What!?" You and Iwaizumi blurted out at the same time.
"Well you know my dad, always trying to play matchmaker" he said and you nodded recalling all the times he'd ask you to choose Tobio as your marriage partner. "You were like...8 when he gave up"
"Yeah then he started pestering me about Tobio" you chuckled.
"Oh- has the squirt spoken to you yet?" Torū asked.
"Huh? Me? No, is there something he wants to ask?"
Iwaizumi elbowed Torū's side making him shut up "it's nothing serious Princess, you should forget what he just said."
"Well- you're not my type anymore"
"Anymore? Was even your type? I was a child-"
"No! I didn't mean ugh"
"Then what do you mean" Iwaizumi asked
"I'm into strong men" he smirked "with nice arms."
"Yes i can see that" she nodded looking at Iwaizumi's arms.
"Yeah want me to tell you what those nice arms d-"
"Shut up Idiot!" Iwaizumi scolded. "Um...sorry he tends to share too much-"
"You know what- it's Okay...just- um enjoy the snacks"
"Yes i heard there's milkbread" Torū beamed again "Hajime~ let's go!" He whined dragging the poor man along with him.
That's going to be the duke of seijoh? Damn.
You turned back to the dance floor to see your friends Akane and Shoyo dancing so you decided to go talk to them.
"Happy Birthday Princess! You look amazing!" Shoyo said, bright as always
"Yeah girl, what do you eat that makes you glow?" Akane asked.
"Shut up. Have you looked at yourself? Flawless" you commented
"Yeah" Shoyo nodded turning to Akane.
"Oh? Has my ship finally sailed??" You smirked, approaching the two.
"You knew she liked me too?" Shoyo gasped.
"You were the only one who didn't" you laughed "you're quite oblivious aren't you?"
His face turned red as he looked back at Akane "once again, I'm so sorry i swear i didn't know!"
"For the millionth time it's okay!"
You laugh it off "Well I'll leave you both to dance"
You walked towards the snack table and see Aran, Atsumu and Osamu eating some of the hors d'oeuvres (i could not spell this I'm so ashamed 🤚🏾😭)
"Samu didn't even dance with me because of food" You frowned poking the boy who was still eating "really how do you stay fit?"
"Who Knows" Aran laughed taking a sip of his wine.
"So, are you guys enjoying the party?" You asked.
"These clothes are uncomfortable" Atsumu complained pulling on his bowtie.
"You'll have to get used to em when you move down south" Aran commented
"Wait. Are you moving here?!" You gasped.
"It was supposed to be a surprise but yeah" Osamu shrugged "Me, Tsumu and Rintaro"
"What about Hitoshi?"
"He's takin' over the farm. Business been real good lately" Atsumu explained.
"So what are you all gonna do here?" You asked.
"Well Atsumu's applying to be a Guard and Samu saved up so he's opening a restaurant"
"Of course" You chuckled remembering Osamu's undying love for food.
"WHO. IS. THAT." Atsumu gasped pointing at the guards who were talking, you noticed who he pointed at you had seen that guard before but not often.
"Oh him? that's Sakusa, i heard he joined the force real young but he's respected" Aran explained.
"He's...hot"
"Uh...he's like 30" Aran pointed out.
"Don't care..he's hot...and technically im 20 so I'm an adult" Atsumu commented. "I'm going to talk to him"
"Oh no.." Osamu scoffed.
"Wish me luck" Atsumu said downing a glass of Champagne before walking towards the group of guards.
"I'll follow him just incase he does something stupid" Osamu sighed dropping his hors d'oeuvre.
"As you should..." Aran chuckled as Osamu followed behind his twin.
"Ahem.. Princess are you Busy?" someone tapped her shoulder.
"I was just leaving" Aran smirked before walking away quickly
What was that?
"I apologise for bothering you but, would you like to dance?" He asked catching you by surprise.
"Oh me..?" You asked
"Yes" he smiled pulling you onto the dance floor.
'Huh...they were right.' You thought remembering what the maids told you.
"I have something to tell you, Princess" Tobio spoke.
"Let me guess you have feelings for me" you joke.
He smiled at you "Getting cocky now are we?" He put his hand on the small of your back as you began dancing "Well if you want me to say it then so be it. I do have feelings for you."
"Oh.. you're not kidding" you exhaled blushing a bit.
"I don't want you to be uncomfortable so please push aside what i just said" He said "although. I'd like to establish things with you"
"Ah...um. yeah what is it?" You asked avoiding his stare.
"I'm not even going to pretend. I want you consider me as a Potential Marriage candidate" He bit his lip staring intensely at you "I want...to court you, Princess"
"Me? I didn't know you liked me" You blushed "i don't know- since when?"
"Well remember when we used to play house?" He asked.
"Yeah...?"
"Well let's just say i didn't like the idea that we were pretending" He chuckled. "A long time to be honest" He admitted
"Of course i wouldn't want to force you.."
"On no.. I'll consider it" You said looking up at him "I've just never considered.. well.."
As you both danced staring at eachothers faces he started to lean closer to you.
What's happening!?
Is he gonna kiss me!?
He stopped mid-way and you saw his face twist into a scowl. He turned to see the person that tapped him.
"I think you've danced with Princess long enough" Kei smirked.
"My lady, I'd like some of your time."
You apologised to Tobio and he sighed retreating into the crowd.
"Hmm.." Kei hummed looking at your whole get-up.
"What? Gonna call me ugly?" You joked.
"No..you look very beautiful" He shrugged.
"Huh? Well yeah the dress is ac-"
"You. I mean you. You look beautiful in the dress" He said looking away from you as a small tint of pink started to pain his cheeks.
"Tsukki! You didn't have to be so mean to Tobio" You said remembering what just occured.
"Well it's not my fault." He mumbled "let me be selfish for once."
"Selfish?"
"I remembered telling you you'd be better off with Tobio" He started
"Yeah i remember" you smiled spinning under him.
"Well i think I've changed my mind" He smirked tilting you over so your back rested on his hand.
"T-t-Tsukki! What was that!?" You blushed as he lifted you back up.
"I'm dancing." He said.
"Whatever.." You rolled your eyes "i heard you've passed the country's Academic level" you commented "i guess.. that's pretty cool"
"Well yes. Thank you.. being a scholar is all i know" he commented. "What about you"
"Eh.. I've got time.. whatever makes me happy i guess" you shrugged. For some reason you didn't want to bring up Tobio's proposal "Is there anything else you'd like to do?"
"Of course.. there's so much I'd love to do" He smiled.
"Then why don't you?"
"There are many responsibilities that come with being a Noble" he explained "it's not exactly easy"
"Kei." You started, catching him off guard because you usually don't use his given name "you should slow down a bit or you'll age too fast"
"Oh yeah?" He asked as they spun around "how do you suggest i do that?"
"I don't know- do something guys your age do"
"Like what?"
You shrugged "Go kiss a girl or something"
He paused and stared at you as the music stopped and you let go of eachother "prepare your lips for our next meeting then." He said before turning his heel and walking away from you.
What?
You were blushing profusely as you watched the boy walk away from you. Is that some kind of proposal!?.
Is that he meant by selfish? Oh- (Y/n) you oblivious buffoon! How did i not know all this?
You knew Tsukishima for quite a while but you never expected such blatant flirting.
"I need fresh air" You said panting. You held the sides of your dress and started to walk towards one of the balconies.
You opened the door to the private balcony and walked into something you immediately regretted.
Your father making out with Takeda.
"You couldn't have waited till after the event?" You asked getting both their attention as they flew off eachother.
"Uh- well you know your dad" Takeda laughed nervously.
Gross.
"I'll pretend i didn't see that- Goodbye" you scoffed before turning around to leave.
"Oh and dad?" You turned back
"Ehm.. yes?"
"You'd better hurry up and marry him you both aren't getting any younger you know?" You said before walking out.
"You heard her Keishin" You heard Takeda say "Hurry up."
