7:54AM

"Hmmmn…"

The bed stirs as the body of a young man started to wake up. It was one of the peaceful mornings that the man accustomed to. Akihito has been feeling great while he stretches his arms upward waking his muscles up getting into inhaling the morning dusk to fully awaken his mind and body. He moved to his right side to feel the warmth of the cotton blanket being sure that the man whose it came from was now already taking his shower in their den. Akihito stood up not trying to cover his birthday suite as he opens the curtains letting the sun rays hit their carpeted floor. He then opened the windows to freshen up the atmosphere of their room. He was not really bothered if someone might see him because he perfectly knows that there were no other people two blocks from their home in any direction because the possessive bastard bought them all to ensure the security of his lover in an elite subdivision he owned. The penthouse in Tokyo was left due to the stubbornness of Akihito since the latter felt like it was a cage that was trying to catch his freedom. Being the understanding lover, the crime lord agreed to all of Akihito's whims as long as he will not sneak out every 5 minutes.

8:06AM

"You should've wakened me up so that I can scrub your back." Akihito giggled when he saw the dripping wet Asami on the door of the bathroom.

However, it was a smirk that answered Akihito. The young man gave his warmest smile as he closed the gap between them to plant a kiss on the crime lord's lips. It was one of their morning routine. A morning kiss. No one knew who started it but they both couldn't start their day without emptying the air in their lungs. The kiss lasted for almost two minutes and the moment Asami pulled away, Akihito murmured of disagreement.

"You'll catch cold." Asami said when his eyes glowed to the view Akihito was offering. Smiling, Akihito pecked another kiss before entering the shower room. Asami followed him through his eyes and went later to pick himself his own clothes.

8:49AM

"I thought you left?" A little shock when Akihito saw Asami sitting on the end of the dining table, scanning to his laptop for some feeds sipping his black coffee.

"Don't want me here?" he teased instead answering.

"Well, if you're staying that would be great." He smiled again not trying to hide the blush on his cheeks. He later went to sit across Asami digging to the food in front of him. He only saw Asami cooked a couple of times so he didn't know where the food came from. There were no sign of the kitchen being used after all though he came to a conclusion of a home service. They also got a home service just like before because Asami doesn't want Akihito to use his time all the time in maintaining or rather cleaning the house. It was one of the traits that Asami couldn't take away from Akihito. If the young man felt like cleaning, he will do it despite of the presence of the crime lord in front of him.

"So what do you plan to do?" He asked.

"Stay home." Asami answered short not removing his eyes from the blond. Akihito stopped all of the sudden not believing Asami wanting to stay home.

"What? I mean… why? Are you kind of sick or something?" Akihito went to Asami's side to tap his forehead checking if he got a fever. But there's none.

"The way you react seems like you doesn't want me here…" He was not amused. The usual poker face was seen.

"Don't you ever say that you bastard." Akihito threatened which made Asami chuckle a little. Years of being together made Akihito realized that being away from Asami is like breathing without the air. He felt lifeless whenever they stay apart because of their circumstances. Akihito might still remained the hard headed brat Asami caught years ago, but he learned the hard way that he only cares for him, enough to bring the underworld or any other world he could think of if there is something may happen to him. Just like the last one. Asami nearly annihilated a clan for trying to use Akihito in bringing him down. The young man was forced to perform a task, under a heavy dosage of an unknown drug, where he will act as an abused user pointing all the blame to his crime to Asami. Of course Asami felt betrayed at first, but when he saw how Akihito moved like a puppet due to aftermath of the said drug, Asami initiated his team to clean the clan not letting a single life escape his wrath. It was also where Akihito broke down fearing all the lives around him. His only word back then was 'Asami' as if he entrusted his life to the crime lord and since then, Akihito's world turned to spin around Asami only. The blond was healed though no one can really tell if he is really cured.

"Let's enjoy this day then." Akihito placed himself on Asami's lap to taste once more the only thing he could have for breakfast.

10:04AM

The young pale was in front of the massive television with some of his favorite snacks on hand when he heard the phone ring. Akihito looked back at the study room where Asami was currently buried but the ring lasted until Akihito picked it up.

"Kirishima-san." Akihito greeted when he find out who the caller was.

"Akihito-kun. How's your day?" Odd question. But Akihito answered him still.

"Quite fine I must say. Asami is staying for a change. And did you just call me only to ask me how's my day?" It may sound irritated but Akihito was only curios. Asami was on the house but it was him that the secretary called.

"I….I know Akihito-kun. Just checking. I just called Asami myself but hearing that he is in his study for almost an hour now I can picture you quite bored at the moment." The secretary explained.

Of course he is. Asami may be home but he still felt lonely not being to spend it the way he wanted to be.

"Call me if something happen."

"Oooookay." And the call ended.

12:08PM

"AT LAST YOU CAME OUT! I thought I'm gonna pull you from that room." Akihito blurted when finally Asami left his cave.

"Miss me kitten?" He teased and placed himself beside the pouting Akihito.

"And my hours got wasted not even getting the most of it." Akihito leaned on Asami shoulder pushing himself on Asami. Asami then pushed Akihito a little just to fix his position so he could pull him closer to his chest. They stayed just like that for a while with occasionally placing some kisses on Akihito's head and forehead. Akihito may use to the deep and watering kiss Asami could forever give him but the ones like on the head was something Akihito could live on. It was a combination of acknowledgement, respect and belonging and for both of them, it was perfect.

"Is something wrong Asami?" Akihito asked.

"Why? Is something wrong Akihito?" He returned the question.

"Kirishima called and asked me something you could've asked." He told.

"What did he asked?" His tone grew colder.

"He was asking how's my day. How odd right?"

But Asami did not move. Akihito felt his jaws moved. He can tell that Asami is pissed right now. However, after some breathes, a question broke the silence.

"What do you want for lunch?"

And Akihito answered Sushi while his mouth watering.

2:03PM

The pale blond fell asleep on Asami's lap while the crime lord busied himself on paper works that was needed to be done. He typed the necessary documents that were really required for some transactions.

5:05PM

"Asami?" Akihito called when he felt the coldness on his body. He surveyed the living room where he fell asleep. The T.V was turned off and some papers were neatly placed on the table. He tried to look it up but the urge to Asami more overflowed. He brought his feet into action and went to search for man.

Akihito went outside the house to see the sky starting to turn orange. It's going to be dark soon.The subdivision was as quiet as before but Akihito can still hear faint voices of some kids quite far away playing in their own backyards. Must be fun .He thought. Shivering, Akihito went back to search for man. When he got inside he saw Asami on the bar pouring himself some brandy.

"Akihito." He greeted when he saw the young man hugging himself.

"I said you could have wakened me up."

"I don't want to disturb the sleeping candy, baby."

"HA-HA. Funny Asami." But opposite of his reaction, Akihito went closer to get the heat he needed to brush of the cold sensation he felt when he came out.

"Where have you been Asami?" Akihito whispered burying himself on the neck of the crime lord.

"In the study room as usual."

"You weren't there when I checked earlier."

"You're not looking hard. But now I can feel something hard." Asami smirked as he saw the ever red face of Akihito.

"What are you dreaming of Akihito?" He whispered back getting the idea of the man having some dreams due to his moans earlier.

"Shut up. You weren't interested enough."

"How so."

"You left me sleeping on the couch?" Raising an eyebrow when he looked at the golden orbs that is piercing through him.

It was so amusing to the crime lord to see how fast Akihito change moods. It's always fascinates him to see the different side of the blond each day they lived together and it is something he will never trade of. Not for any greed on the world that exist. And for the nth time, Asami placed a kiss on Akihito's forehead.

7:38PM

"ASAMI! Will you just come out from that hole and let us spend the night together?" The blond shouted as he barged at the opening of the door. There he saw Asami once again buried in his own world.

"Jealous?" He teased.

"Oh shut up Asami. And yes! I am damn jealous because I can tell that you prefer this piece of metal than me!" The young man picked up the laptop up and threw it on the floor. Though it didn't do anything at all because of the soft floor and the quality of the device.

"I am just finishing some things baby. And I could be all yours tonight." Asami eyed him using his intimating golden eyes to seduce the young man.

"Oh that won't work anymore Asami." His anger hasn't subdued.

A sudden door bell startled Akihito. Giving a heavy sigh, Asami stood up and walked towards the opening to find out who it was.

"I'll be right back." Asami said and placed another kiss on his forehead.

And by the time Asami passed him, tears flowed down from his eyes.

8:16PM

Sobs were heard from the study room and when Kirishima stepped in, he could see a devastated Akihito. Sitting in the corner, hugging his knees and hiding his face from everyone. No one knew but the eyeglasses man knew what the boy is going through. The laptop that was thrown earlier was in front of him as if there was something Akihito not wanting to let go. Kirishima kneeled down to pick the device but he was stopped by Akihito. His hand was gripping the secretary's hand, hard.

"You knew right?" Akihito asked between his weeps.

A long silence was heard but Kirishima answered wholeheartedly.

"Yes."

"Why you didn't tell me!?" Akihito began rising his voice.

"WHY THE HELL YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?! NEH KIRISHIMA-SAN?! HOW DARE YOU- how dare you do this?" Akihito accused Kirishima but the last question was not for the man, it was for the man behind him looking straight through him in those golden eyes.

"Why did you leave me, bastard?" But the crime lord did not answer. Kirishima showed a pain expression but he remained to his composure.

"Akihito-kun, it is time for your dinner." He said.

"Shut up Kirishima. I am talking to your boss."

"Akihito-kun…"

"Your boss is just right behind you. SHOW SOME RESPECT YOU—"

"TAKABA AKIHITO!" Kirishima lost it and shouted to stop whatever Akihito will say.

"I respect him more than my life so please. Just do what I say." He pleaded. His voice was pained but there was nothing he could do about it. He must remain to himself even though agony is eating his self away. He must stay strong for them to move on. He must stay to his words for them to live on. He must carry on his boss' words for him to carry on.

"He's dead right? Kirishima?" Akihito asked him with tears flowing down his face. His voice was hoarse from his previous weeping but he didn't care. "He is dead but how come I can see him just right behind you Kirishima? How can I spend the day with him? How? We talked, we eat together, I hugged him earlier Kirishima. We kissed. Just how Kirishima…?"

And that was it. His vision darkened fading into nothingness as he drifted into a void of oblivion.

9:00PM

"He is getting worst, Kei." Suoh said as he pulled the blanket into Akihito's body. They were on the master's bedroom to let sure that the young man is asleep. Suoh was at the right timing when he sedated Akihito. The questions he threw were the only question he can never answer. It's too painful for the man to know. It may break more loosened tips and they cannot risk that. Kirishima sighed feeling his energy sucked up by the situation. The words Asami – is – dead, who would have thought that those words will come to fit together but fate is really a cruel thing. It did. He is. Asami is dead. Three months of having no one to give his reports to be not something he could use to. But it already happened.

The ambush was predicted but a tiny detail slipped from their hands or rather a tiny someone full of surprises, suddenly came across them that mashed up the plan of survival. Akihito having an episode from his previous attack found his way into Asami and of course it was Asami to the rescue. His body was not made of steel like of those superheroes and the bullets pierced through his body giving a shield to the frightened Akihito. Akihito bathed with the crime lord's blood and as seconds passed by, Akihito started to make a protection from the situation. He shut his mind from the reality and his heart from the heartache. And that was where Akihito developed himself as a Schizophrenia patient.

9:00AM –The next day.

"Good morning Asami!" Akihito greeted the man beside him as he gives him the usual morning kiss.


AN:

*Schizophrenia – a severe mental disorder associated with brain abnormalities and typically evidenced by disorganized speech and behavior, delusions and hallucinations.
*And Yes the responsive Asami from 7:54AM to 7:38PM was all hallucinations of Akihito. Nothing was real. But of course to Akihito it was effin real. *cries*
*9:00AM –The next day. – Like a reset button for Akihito where he can spend the day with Asami again.
*The title 'Caretaker' was chosen because of Kirishima. I felt that somehow he suddenly became into one due to Akihito's condition and all of Asami's business.
*I am not a fan of major character death but somehow this fan fiction came into life while I am washing the dishes. Blame those plates. LOL
*I said I am not a fan of major character death genre yet… I always find myself reading and crying over some titles. *cries*
