Akito’s revelation of things made the prince pause and thought for a few moments. Unfortunately there was no way he could save Akito. He couldn’t even save himself from the ceremony. They’d have no choice but to talk to the royal families, even if it was just a hello. Hiro echoes the laugh and turns his head slightly to the side. “We could always fake being sick. Although that would only postpone the wedding.” The fingers intertwining around his made him smile and he continued to hold Akito’s hand. “I don’t know how reassuring I can be when even I don’t want to be surrounded by them but,” He gave Akito’s hand a gentle squeeze. “Just stick close to me alright? I mean, two of us taking on the ‘royal court’ has got to be better than being alone, yeah?” 
 
His gaze went towards the sky. It was getting a lot cloudier than before. “We can make sure neither of us run off to hide from the party. And, well, at least the food will be nice. And the music! Special occasions allways have the nicest musicians. I suppose that means there’d be dancing…” His voice trailed off before Hiro chuckled a little. “You wouldn’t happen to enjoy dancing would you?” He could only imagine Akito’s horror of not only being stared at on a dancefloor but also a fear of messing anything up in front of them. Hiro learned how to dance from his stepmother. It was something he enjoyed doing, unlike his father who had two left feet. “It’s okay if you don’t want to or know how. The trick to escaping that is sitting with my father. He’ll empathize with you and happily allow you to sit and watch others dance with him.” 
 
A scheming smile formed on the prince’s face before he whistled a low note. “Or~ I could teach you if you want. I don’t mind. I think four days is enough time to learn basic dance steps. Well, three days and a half maybe. ” Hiro then shrugged and scratched his cheek and shrugged. “That is of course, on the assumption that you can’t. You could be a fine dancer for all I know.” 
 
He was sure the next few days would have the two busy going over the ceremony, making sure they knew where to go and what to do. Hiro had to remind himself that he had to play along and not be so stubborn. Ceremonies like this were important and he wanted to stray away from stressing out his parents on the occasion.
