Notes: Hello readers. Sorry I have been away from Viewfinder. I am writing different fandoms. I hope you enjoy this and please tell me what you think.
Akihito paced the room. He was glad Asami left early morning. He heard him leave about five in the morning. He had to be by himself for this. He wondered if Asami ever found out the secret. Well, it wasn't a secret per say. It was his stupid fault when he was younger. He tried some drug and it affected him to this day. He was so scared during the times when Fei Long had him. Sadly, now he was pacing the room. It was the truth that he needed. Why did he have to be so stupid and careless with the yakuza? It could change everything. He heard a knock at the door and ran to it. Kou and Takato were standing there, whistling. He pulled them inside, whispering, "Please say you weren't seen."
"What is going on, Aki? What does it matter if your girlfriend finds out about us?" Kou asked, confused.
Takato sighed, "No girlfriend, right?"
"What?" Kou asked dumbly.
Akihito confessed, "I'm seeing a man and well."
Both of his friends said it at the same time, "Shit."
Akihito nodded his head, feeling so lightheaded. This could not be happening. He was so careful and then he forgot. He flopped on the couch as Takato and Kou sat down. There were questions in their eyes. He sighed, "It isn't even a relationship."
"You live with him." Kou pointed out.
Akihito sighed sadly, "Trust me, it isn't a relationship."
Takato muttered, "Do you have the test?"
Akihito nodded his head, rubbing his hands against his jeans. He explained, "I don't know if he knows or not. He finds information that I never think he can."
Takato stated, "He is dangerous, correct? That is why you won't give us details."
Akihito nodded his head, sadly. His heart was ready to break apart, but his friends held a look like they figured. He closed his eyes, sighing, "I'm his." Before his friends can say a word, he ordered, "Promise you will not do anything stupid."
Kou replied, "You love him though."
Akihito turned his head, sighing sadly. It took about a month into living with the man to realize the truth. Of course, Asami was Asami. It was impossible to see emotions within the man. He leaned his head back, stating, "I know little about him. Anything personal is impossible to find. It is blacked out or people are too afraid to reveal the truth."
Takato asked, "Does your parents know?"
Akihito confessed, "Dad found out I was seeing a man and disowned me. Mom is upset and says maybe two or three words when I call."
Kou asked, "Does he know this is happening?"
Akihito shrugged his shoulders with tears threatening to fall. He whispered, "I don't know what would happen if I gave up the fight against him. And now this. I'm scared to death." Kou touched his shoulder, being there for him. Takato nodded his head to be there for support no matter what happened. He spilled everything about Fei Long and the deep fear when he got back. Luckily, it never happened. They listened. There was deep fear and concern, but they stayed silent as he spilled his secret after secret. He finished, "Asami came for me. He came injured to face an equal on an enemy's turf. He refused to leave me behind."
Kou asked, "Are you going to tell Asami?"
"Tell me what?" A deep cold voice spoke.
Akihito turned his head to stare into the eyes that made him drown. Takato and Kou stood up, ready to defend him. He spoke, "Please don't." They looked at him and sat down. His hands were sweating and his heart was racing. He didn't know what to say. He wasn't even sure. He could be wrong. He could be losing his mind. Asami raised an eyebrow, showing his impatience was growing thin. He stood up, asking, "Kou and Takato, could you just wait here for me?" They nodded their heads. He walked into the main bathroom with Asami two steps behind him. He backed into the wall as Asami walked closer to him. The toned body pressed against him wasn't letting him think clearly.
"Takaba."
Akihito gulped the lump in his throat when the tone and his surname was said. Asami wanted his answer and now. He was scared. He pushed the man back, shocked to see Asami took a step back. He looked at the test sitting on the sink. He pulled it out and saw the result. He fell into Asami who wrapped his arms around his waist. He held the test up, stating, "Surprise." He didn't know what else to say.
"A joke?"
Akihito explained softly, "When I was a teenager, I tried this drug and well…" He felt tears as he was spun around. He pounded the chest, screaming, "I was so careful! The scare with Fei Long made me careful! Damn it, say something!"
Asami asked carefully, "This is real." When he nodded his head, those golden eyes stared with the same cold stare and the man spoke, "What do you want to do?"
Akihito looked at the man who made no move. He didn't understand the question. He shook his head, asking, "What?"
"What do you want to do about this? Do you want to end the pregnancy? Do you want it to be adopted? Do you want to keep it? What do YOU want to do?" Asami stated clearly.
Akihito blinked his eyes. He never thought about it. He thought Asami would decide for him even if he protested. He fell into the man's body. Arms wrapped around him. He tried to hold back the tears. He tried to hold back the sobs. He knew Asami did not want to see it. He whispered, "I don't know."
Asami pulled him back, stating firmly, "If you worry about any cost, don't. I'll have it taken care."
"You are taking this very odd." Akihito pointed out as he looked away from the fierce golden eyes.
"What do you want me to act, Akihito?"
"Surprised. Angry. Happy. I don't know. You are just too calm." Akihito muttered.
"I can never show emotion. Not in the world I live in." Asami made a statement.
Akihito looked at the man, realizing it was the truth. He closed his eyes, sighing, "I need to think about this."
"If it is about cost, I told you…"
Akihito cut the man off, "I know. I don't like it, but I know." Asami nodded his head. He heard a bang at the door, reminding him his friends were still there. Asami opened the door and stepped out. He stepped out to see Kou and Takato give him a worried glance. Asami, he couldn't figure out. Was the man happy, upset, surprised? What did the man feel about having a child? Akihito asked, "Do you want the child?"
Asami froze from opening the study, sighing, "The choice is yours, Takaba."
Akihito wanted to demand an answer, but the man entered his study without saying another word. Kou and Takato pulled him in the living room. They looked at him in concern.
Kou asked, "What will you do, Aki?"
Takato replied, "If you need help, you know Tia and I will help you in any way we can. I have some money coming in."
Akihito shook his head and held up his hand before his friends can remark. He sighed, "Asami said he will take care of everything of what I want to do."
Kou asked, "Do you need to know what he wants? I mean he is the father."
Akihito sighed sadly, "He won't tell me right now." Kou and Takato stayed for an hour, ensuring he was all right. Asami stayed in the study. When he saw his friends out, he knocked on the door, hearing a come in. He entered, shutting the door, leaning against it. Those eyes that drew him in, stared at him. He looked down, asking again, "Do you want the child?"
"Takaba, I told you this is your choice." Asami sighed.
Slamming his hands against the door, Akihito screamed, "I didn't ask that. Dammit! You are the father, Asami! You should have a say in it!" Asami waved him over and he walked to the desk. The man threw a photo of a child, maybe four or five years old. He stared and didn't understand. He looked up with questions on the tip of his lips.
Asami stated, "This is my son. I have no right to see him. I was never claimed as his father. His mother left, taking him with her." When he was silent, Asami continued, "A child is an heir to me, Akihito. She refused to have that for her child. I stepped back. Now, I am doing that again because claiming a child is an heir to the underworld."
Akihito stared at the photo, seeing a little bit of Asami in the child, but not looking too much like him. He heard the words. He looked at the man to see nothing on the man's face. He took a step closer to the man. To have this child meant the life of the underworld; an heir. Was that how Asami gained power? What did he not know about the man? He fell into Asami's waiting arms. Tears flowed because he knew what else he would have to decide. He had to decide to stay by Asami's side or not.
