Chapter Two:

"Akihito."

Aki groaned as he felt a strong hand grip his shoulder and give a gentle shake. It was enough to get him to start stirring a bit, his body shifting as he rolled over to stubbornly try and go back to sleep. Recently this was a normal occurrence, Aki taking many naps that he didn't want to be awoken from. Usually Asami would leave him be until he got up on his own, only giving him the occasional concerned look whenever he woke up and didn't seem to be rested at all. Today was different.

"Akihito, you need to get up."

Another shake, this time with a bit more force that caused Aki open his eyes tiredly. He turned his head to meet the blurry vision of a more than familiar frame. After rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and stretching, his vision cleared and he was able to meet Asami's golden stare.

"Crap…I fell asleep again. I'm sorry Asami." The blonde mumbled, shaking his head as he sat up and tried to wake himself up more. How long had he been napping? Probably not too long considering Asami looked like he had just walked in.

"Don't be. I just walked in so it hasn't bothered me any." Asami said as he offered a hand.

Reaching out, Aki accepted the help as he let Asami pull him up into a standing position. Akihito's eyes wandered down Asami's body for a moment, surprised to see that he wasn't dressed in his usual three piece Armani suit. Instead he was wearing a pair of black cargo pants with a casually worn midnight-blue button up. He wore it with the first three buttons undone to show off his sexy chest, the sleeves rolled up just above his elbows. He wore his hair down, falling into his eyes.

Aki felt his mouth watering a bit as he shamelessly stared, the image in front of him waking him up better than any caffeinated drink could. Asami looked hot.

"Oh, what's this? Do you like what you see?" Asami asked, chuckling as he held a teasing glint in his eye. He leaned forward so his lips brushed against Aki's ear. "You're drooling." He whispered, the smirk clear in his voice. Asami's finger came up, pushing the blonde's chin up to close his mouth.

"S-Shut up you bastard!" Akihito said quickly as he pushed Asami's finger away, his cheeks burning as they were lit up bright red. This only made the amused look on his lover's face grow.

"Fine, but only because it's your day today." Asami said as he wrapped his strong arms around the smaller's waist, leaning down as he pressed a kiss against his lips.

Blue eyes widened before they settled closed, Aki's lips forming into a smile as he kissed the gorgeous man back, leaning up on his tip toes to wrap his arms around Asami's neck.

For a long moment between the two men, they shared this moment. These moments were few and far between with how crazy their life and relationship was. But when these moments did happen, both of them cherished it for as long as they possibly could. Seconds ticked by, but all too soon they had to break apart. It was time for Asami's birthday plans to commence.

Aki remained in Asami's arms for a long moment, his head resting against his chest as he listened to the calming sound of his heart beat. The embrace was soft and gentle, so much unspoken love behind it between the two men. Both of them knew it, but they wouldn't say it aloud. Perhaps in the future this would change.

Before Aki knew what was happening, Asami had him picked up and thrown over his shoulder, heading out the door.

"What are you doing?!" Akihito squealed.

"We have to get started on your birthday adventure!" Asami said with a chuckle, giving a firm slap to Aki's butt.

Playful struggling and curses rang from Aki the entire trip to the front of the building, not deterring Asami in the least.

"Put me down! I can walk on my own!" Akihito whined, hitting his fists against the raven's back.

Another chuckle. "Calm down Kitten, I'll let you down in just a second."

Just as promised Akihito found his feet meeting the ground once more, an annoyed look crossing his face at the nickname Asami called him. It had become a pet name over time, one Aki had a hate-love relationship with.

Where his feet met the ground, Akihito's blue eyes met a very large black, off-road pickup truck. It was intimidating in size, and very expensive looking. Aki had never seen anything like it, so he looked to Asami with curious eyes. "What on earth is this?! When did you get this truck?"

Asami's eyes practically lit up at the question, his lips turning up into a pleased smirk. "Oh this? It's my newest toy, a Mercedes-Benz (Exact Model: Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6). An off-roads black beauty, perfect for what I have planned."

"Speaking of that, what do you have planned?~" Akihito asked.

The crime lord chuckled, shaking his head a bit as he opened the passenger door. "How cute of you to try, but you know better. I would never ruin a surprise."

Akihito pretended to pout, though he was happy that Asami hadn't told him. Leaving it a surprise made him excited to see what it was. He worried that Asami had put too much work than necessary like usual, but no matter what he would enjoy whatever he had put together. Aki always did.

Strong arms wrapped around his waist as Asami lifted the smaller man up into the truck, setting him down in his seat. Aki became flustered rather quickly, shoving Asami's hands away.

"Dammit Asami! I can get into a damn truck myself!"

"Oh I'm sure you can." Asami said curtly, shutting the door before Aki could say anything.

Soon both were buckled up and heading down the road. To where, Akihito didn't know, but was excited to find out. He leaned his head against the cool glass, watching as buildings went by and out of sight.

Asami's POV

Three hours passed by as Asami drove in silence, his eyes occasionally drifting over to the sleeping form beside him. The amount of time Akihito spent sleeping was concerning Asami, making him grateful he had planned a two day trip away. If he was this tired, he must be working too hard.

Asami reached an arm out, affectionately carding through Akihito's hair. The boy smiled in his sleep, nuzzling into the Asami's large hand.

"Spoiled brat…" Asami muttered, his golden eyes shining in adoration.

Asami pulled over when he saw the guards he had stationed at the start of the road leading down to their destination. Parking the car and leaving it running, he stepped out and walked over.

"Everything has been set up to your specifications, Asami sama." One of the guards said, stepping forward.

"Outstanding. I would settle for nothing less. Check the perimeter and make sure that everything is secure." Asami said, dismissing the guard.

As the guard walked off, Asami heading back to the truck to add his special surprise to Akihito's wardrobe. Asami grabbed a neatly wrapped brown package from the back, heading around to Aki's side as he unwrapped it.

He carefully put the article of clothing onto his boy, a small grin appearing as he examined his work once finished. Asami snickered a bit when Akihito's nose scrunched up in his sleep. You're in for a surprise when you wake up, my adorable Akihito. As Asami continued to chuckle, he went around the truck and returned to the driver's seat, continuing the short trip to their destination.

Asami pulled into the campsite (A cabin, actually), his eyes scanning every outer detail. He had a satisfied smirk on his face as he saw it was all just as he wanted it. Everything was in perfect order for his boy's special day. If it hadn't, someone would have to pay.

Parking in front of the cabin, Asami got out of the truck to walk around to the other side. He stepped up and opened the door, scoffing at the fact Aki hadn't stirred a bit. Just like a little kid. Instead of waking him up, he unbuckled him and lifted his precious lover princess style, carrying him into the cozy little cabin.

Gently, Asami laid Akihito down onto the couch so that his head rested on a cushion. After taking Aki's shoes, he decided he would let him sleep while he carried everything else in and set up the last little things he would do personally.

Akihito's POV

Akihito woke to Asami's hot lips pressing against his own, his blue eyes fluttering open a bit. He groaned a bit as the lips trailed down to his neck, teasing the delicate skin with soft kisses. This was very unlike Asami, being usually the only kisses they shared were rough and full of passion. So Aki's eyebrows immediately furrowed as he pushed himself into a sitting position.

"Asami? What time is it?" He asked after yawning, stretching his arms above his head. He felt so warm and cozy.

"About Four o'clock." Came Asami's answer as he stood back.

Akihito opened his eyes finally, expecting to be inside of the pickup truck, but was instead met with unfamiliar surroundings. Wooden walls and floor, beautiful paintings of nature hanging on the walls of the room, and a plush shag rug under his feet. Completely turning around in his seat, he could now see a small kitchenette with a cute little dining area. There was a wide, short hallway that led to two shut doors.

"Follow up question…where are we?" Akihito asked.

Asami smirked, shrugging as he gestured a hand towards the door. "Why don't you have a look and see?"

Giving Asami a suspicious look, Aki got up from his seat and speed walked towards the door. He slipped on his shoes that were placed neatly in the shoe cupboard before he ran outside, Asami following behind him.

Akihito was met with a beautiful sight, his mouth falling open in complete awe. They were surrounded by trees in the middle of a forest. A little cabin had been set up in a natural clearing, the view stunning. The cabin was very small in size, only made to house two people. It had front porch with two comfortable lounging chairs on it, perfect for relaxing on in early mornings or evenings.

His eyes soon moved up, noticing the real view that this clearing offered. A very large, well-known mountain that the photographer recognized immediately. Mount Fuji.

"How did you even do this?! Asami! You can't just build cabins in the middle of a national forest, it's illegal!" Akihito started scolding, but was cut off when Asami raised a hand to silence him.

"Don't get your tail in a twist. I have special permission. I called in a few favors." Asami said, smirking as he leaned against the porch rail.

Despite the urge to question further, Akihito decided against it. Asami had worked too hard on this for him to ruin it. So instead Aki just nodded. "Alright, fine. So we're going to be holding up in a cabin for my birthday?" He asked, smiling a bit at the idea.

Asami blinked. "We're camping." He said simply, as though it were obvious.

It was Akihito's turn to blink and give Asami a confused look, his eyes moving towards the cabin and then back to the Asami. The gears in his head started rolling, playing a little scene of them with a cute little tent and campfire.

"Camping?" he asked, feeling a bit stupid. He was trying to think of why of all things Asami would choose that, and how on earth staying in a cabin was supposed to be camping. But suddenly it dawned on him.

Akihito's camping= tent, camp fire, bugs, and no electricity. Asami's camping: Cabin, running water, comfort, and absolutely no sleeping with bugs. He giggled to himself at his own thoughts.

"Last summer you were unhappy because you couldn't go camping with your friends because they cancelled. So I decided to give you your camping trip."

For a few seconds Akihito didn't know what Asami was talking about, but then the memory dawned on him. Last summer his group of friends were going to take him camping for his birthday, but plans got changed and they ended up cancelling. He remembered that he had been upset for a little while, but had gotten over it. However, he did remember complaining to Asami about it. But that was over a year ago! How did he even remember that?!

Akihito felt his heart swell a bit, a big grin coming onto his face. "You're such a city boy." He said under his breath as he looked at the cabin again, beginning to laugh before he ran up the steps and threw himself onto one of the lounge chairs. "It's perfect Asami. Thank you."

On most occasions he would have told Asami that this wasn't necessary, that he didn't have to go through all the trouble just for him. But he couldn't bring himself to do it, not when Asami had put so much careful thought into this. It would seem almost rude.

Asami seemed almost surprised by Akihito's open statement of appreciation, but ended up just smirking with a small shrug. "Anything for my Kitten." He teased.

An eyebrow twitched as Akihito bolted up from the lounge chair, now facing up to Asami's amused face. His own held an annoyed expression

"Dammit Asami! Stop with the Kitten Shit! I'm not a freaking cat!" He snapped, though his huffy reaction only making him resemble one that much more.

"Could have fooled me." Asami said, his smirk only growing. Something about the look in the man's eyes was suspicious. "Now, let's go back inside. Go ahead and take a shower. I'm making dinner tonight."

The look that crossed Akihito's face was one of shock. Asami Ryuichi, the feared crime lord, cooking him a meal? Akihito had never seen Asami cook before, and had been under the assumption that he couldn't. Did that bastard really just make him do all the cooking for the two while he actually had some hidden cooking knowledge?!

"Fine. Which room is the bathroom?" He asked once they were back inside, his eyes moving to the two shut doors down the hall.

"The one on your left." Asami told him, heading into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Without answering, he headed in that direction. Despite Akihito still feeling annoyed, he was also excited for Asami to actually be cooking him a meal. Even if he could have done it before, because he was doing for the first time on his birthday it felt special. This made Aki smile as he opened the bathroom door.

He walked past the mirror towards the tub, but suddenly stopped in his tracks when he caught something out of the corner of his eye. Slowly, he walked backwards till he was standing in front of the mirror, looking at his own reflection. A sudden wave of irritation came over him as he yelled. "ASAMI YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"

Akihito didn't know when or how he managed it, but Asami has managed to put a freaking cat zip up hoodie on him, the hood up and all. Aki started furiously taking it off, only to soon realize it even had a tail on the back. He gritted his teeth, tossing it onto the counter.

All Aki could hear was Asami's chuckling coming from the kitchen, and the only thing he could do to silence it was turn on the water to the shower. And for what seemed like the hundredth time today, his cheeks were bright red.
