Alternate Universe. Tatsumi Souichi cast as the Princess who never smiled or laughed (but obviously a prince) and Morinaga Tetsuhiro as the one to make him smile/laugh... although there would probably be a problem with that... but the King did say WHOEVER could make the prince smile/laugh could marry him.
Morinaga has been diagnosed with cancer, but was it caught early enough to be stopped/cured? What are the feelings going through Morinaga? What of Tatsumi and how does he learn about it? Perhaps Tatsumi will find the answer in his research in hopes of saving Morinaga?
Tatsumi is actually thinking of seducing Morinaga, but with his often shy personality and finding things easily embarrassing... would he continue to think it, let alone go through with it... or would he just get angry with/disturbed by his own crazy thoughts?
Morinaga purchases a teddy bear for Tatsumi and leaves it on the couch (before going to Hiroto's bar) with a name tag on it (so that he knows its for him), along with a single red rose held between the teddy bears hands.
bdsm_fandom will have a Halloween Prompt-Fest which will run from 13th September through to 19th September with a claiming prompt post which will run from 20th to 26th September.
Somehow, Morinaga and Tatsumi have been cast in the role of Petruchio and Katharina in The Taming of the Shrew... via Kanako for a school project... but how did she get them both to agree to it? What about practicing the script outside the stage?
The second Monday of October is Sports Day (Taiiku-no-hi) in Japan. How will Morinaga and Tatsumi-senpai celebrate it? October also happens to be the season for viewing of fall foliage.
Tomoe is visiting because of a conference nearby and they start to talk over some drinks... could it possibly lead to Souichi saying something that he doesn't want Tomoe to know about?
