Tanaka snickered as he stepped quickly to the right, narrowly avoiding the point of Hinata’s sword. He laughed even harder when Hinata failed to stop and collided with one of the dummies set up on the side of the sparring circle.

“Well done, your Majesty! You got him.”

Hinata huffed as he yanked out his sword, allowing it to rest against the ground as he wiped his forehead with his sleeve. “I was aiming for you, Tanaka-san! How was I not fast enough?”

“You’re faster than a normal human should be! The problem is that your intentions are obvious, so you were easy to avoid.”

“GAH! I’ll do better this next time. Let’s go!”

Tanaka shook his head as he sheathed his sword. “No way, you need a break. We’ve been going at it for hours.”

“I don’t need one!”

Rolling his eyes, Tanaka approached the prince, removed the sword from his hand, and wrapped his arm around his neck. Hinata squawked as he forced him toward the bench where their waterskins were waiting for him.

“Just because you still have energy, doesn’t mean you don’t need a break. If you don’t drink some water, your head will start pounding later, trust me.”

“I know, you’re right.”

Tanaka chuckled and sank his fingers into Hinata’s mop of bright hair, giving it a good ruffle. He couldn’t blame him one bit. After all, he used to be just as unruly and passionate when he was training to be a knight. And although the prince had a natural athleticism, he wasn’t brought into the court of Karasuno until he was already fifteen, only being a cousin to Prince Kageyama Tobio, the heir to the throne.

Because of his late arrival, he had no training in combat or in social etiquette. He was obviously a little clumsy, but his rate of improvement was extraordinary. And with his bright and charming disposition, everyone around him was patient and more than happy to help him along. Even Kageyama, who bickered with Hinata and provoked him whenever he could, only did it because he knew the potential Hinata had and what kind of man he could become.

As Tanaka took a sip of water, he nearly choked on it with a laugh when he heard Hinata guzzling his down. “Hey, take it… easy,” he finished after a moment, distracted by a tendril of water slipping down Hinata’s chin and down his neck.

When he first met Hinata, he seemed like the cutest little pipsqueak and all he wanted to do was hug him and protect him. After a couple of years of hard training, Hinata’s body had filled out with sturdy muscles and all his baby fat had disappeared, giving sharpness to his features. He was still adorable but in a more mature way. Tanaka really didn’t want to admit it, but Hinata had grown extremely attractive and whenever he wasn’t being careful, Tanaka’s heart would practically race out of his chest whenever Hinata would smile at him.

“Did you say something?” Hinata asked, cocking his head at him like a puppy.

Tanaka couldn’t resist. He set his waterskin down and buried his hands into Hinata’s hair, ruffling it to his heart’s content. It didn’t help that Hinata’s laughter rang in the air like beautiful chimes and instead of pulling away, he reached up to give Tanaka’s bald head a rub. He nearly purred, feeling his hand sweep across his scalp and inciting goosebumps across his skin.
