Reclaim (Haikyuu Kingdoms!AU)

Roommates

Kageyama stormed up to the smirking king with a nasty glare. "You stole my blueprints, didn't you?"

"Well, I didn't steal from you. My spy did!" he replied with a shrug. Hinata and Yamaguchi had to restrain Kageyama from shredding the king into small pieces of royal meat.

"Okay, okay! Calm down," Kuro said, leaning into Kageyama's face. "I will admit that I owe you."

"You think?" Kenma muttered, fiddling with a piece of string.

"Well, I do have a request," Kageyama said, sheathing his sword and relaxing his muscles.

"Anything," Kuro purred.

"You side with me and take down Oikawa."

The room went silent. Kuro pursed his lips and tapped his chin with his gloved hand. "Ma-a-aybe. I'll have to get back to you on that."

Kenma buried his face into his hands from his ruler's lack of brain cells. "Your highness-"

"It's 'Kuro' to you."

"Your highness," he hissed between his teeth. "You took King Kageyama's personal belongings without his permission. No matter who did the deed, you were the one who directed it and reaped its profit. To add on, you said- and I quote- 'Anything.'"

The bedhead laughed, ruffling his advisor's hair. "Well, you've convinced me! I would be more than happy to help."

"Yay! Thank you Kenma!" Hinata said with a bright smile, hugging Kenma. The advisor smiled, patting his cheek gently and squirmed uncomfortably in his tight grip.

Separating them by hand, Kuro smiled and said, "are you staying for awhile? You all smell, and I would not like having you soil my streets."

Tsukki leaned over to Yamaguchi and whispered, "he could've been more subtle about that."

Daichi, who had heard the younger blond, hit him on the arm and stepped forward. "We would love to stay, but we don't have any money."

The king crossed his arms and dragged his advisor to his side. "Then you'll stay in the palace!"

Everyone gave him wide eyes. Kenma cleared his throat. "Sir, I know we have plenty of rooms available; if this wasn't your palace, it would be a hotel! But you're planning to keep these outsiders here?" he exclaimed. "Ah, no offense to you, Hinata."

Hinata laughed. "None taken!"

"Hol' up! We take offense to that!" Tanaka yelled, a vein about to burst from his forehead.

Ennoshita slapped his head with a glare, before looking up at Kuro. "In a more polite tone-" he glanced towards his partner- "it's a bit rude for you to call us smelly, don't you think?"

"Just a little, but you should be grateful that I'm giving you a place to stay," he replied before turning to Kenma. "Would you mind showing them to their rooms?"

With a small sigh, Kenma walked towards the exit. "Follow me."

In silence, the group followed the advisor. Hinata bounded up to Kenma, looking around the large paintings and arches.

"Do you have a training ground?" he asked.

"Hm? Oh, yeah, we do." He pointed towards the right, where an arch opened to a large field. There was a weapons rack taller than Asahi and as long as the wall.

Noya and Tanaka were visibly shaking out of excitement, poking at Daichi and Suga as if asking their permission to play around.

Everyone was impressed- even Tsukki, who stared at the wall with wonder. "My brother would love this," he mumbled.
