As a newly minted war hero for saving the kingdom’s favorite vassal, Sir Bokuto, Atsumu has traveled to the city to formally receive the rights to the Inarizaki fiefdom. He is absolutely not trying to win the hand of rich, rude, flouncy Lord Sakusa, the court’s most eligible bachelor. Sir Bokuto should be helping Atsumu assimilate among the nobility, but instead, he is occupied with looking after Lord Akaashi, who seems to be out of favor after his royal betrothal to another is dissolved. -- “So, which one is he?” Lord Sakusa asks. His face is impassive as he crosses his arms, eyes moving slowly between Osamu and Atsumu with what appears to be boredom. It’s a question they get so often it’s become commonplace. Yet the dismissive tone irks Atsumu in a way that makes him straighten his spine and smile harder. Sakusa is the epitome of everything Atsumu had assumed the nobility would be: snooty, disdainful, and condescending. “Me,” he spits out. Even he is a little taken aback by his own tone. Osamu shoots him a dismayed look. Bokuto laughs uncomfortably.
