The huge grin on Sudou's face was enough of a sight to make Akihito's stomach churn in disgust. The flamboyant man was sitting comfortably on Asami's lap, a place where Akihito had found himself numerous times in their home. Now he was being held back by one of Asami's bodyguards, resting on his knees, and being forced to look at his lover and Sudou sitting a few feet away from him.
Kirishima and Suoh stood to the side waiting for orders from their boss. Looking at Akihito's pained expression tug at Kirishima's heart. Sadly, there was nothing he could do about the situation. He didn't have a place to speak his mind. Asami was going to do whatever he thought was best whether they liked it or not.
"Sudou, I want you to service me right now," Asami said while he kept his eyes on Akihito.
"Yes Asami-sama."
Sudou slowly got off of Asami's lap and onto his knees. Akihito grit his teeth, wishing he could look away, but he knew that this was the punishment he had to endure for what he did. Sudou sensually moved his hands up Asami's thighs and towards his belt, making sure to slowly unbuckle it. He went on to unzip Asami's pants while he felt his own bulge start to grow in excitement.
Asami felt Sudou's hand carefully start to move into his briefs. In an instant he grabbed Sudou's wrist and moved his hand away. The younger man looked surprised and confused with the action. Asami looked over at Akihito with menacing golden eyes. "Why can't I do this? Why can't I hurt you like you hurt me Akihito?"
"Asami-sama," Kirishima spoke out, grabbing the attention of his enraged boss. "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but there's something you should know. Akihito-sama told me the secret before he told you. I kept it from you and went to personally kill Sakazaki in order to give Akihito-sama time to tell you. If there's anyone you should punish and take your anger on, then it should be me sir."
Asami pushed Sudou to the side, zipped up his pants and buckled up his belt before he stood up. He slowly approached Kirishima and took out his gun. "Get on your knees." Kirishima complied and did as he was told. Suoh silently got on his knees next to his comrade which surprised Asami.
"Asami-sama, I helped in killing Sakazaki and cleaning up the mess. Punish me as you see fit."
Akihito looked at the two men with sympathy. He knew how hard it must have been for them to do something behind their boss' back. They were always loyal to Asami and yet they did the unthinkable to help him for something stupid he had done. "Asami! Please, don't kill them! It's all my fault!" Akihito yelled hoping he would get through to his lover. "If you really love me then you won't kill them!"
"Shut up you slut! You don't deserve Asami-sama! You enjoyed sucking Sakazaki off! I have proof!" Sudou yelled out. Everyone, including Asami, turned to look at him.
"What do you mean you have proof?" Asami asked, his voice as cold as ice.
"Asami-sama, I wanted to tell you as soon as I found out. Sakazaki boasted about how he got to enjoy Asami's little kitten and showed me the pictures he took of it happening. You need someone better at your side! Someone who won't whore himself out to other men!"
Asami stood without a word. Akihito didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't believe Sakazaki took pictures of that disgusting encounter. The last thing he wanted was for Asami to see him in such a shameless act.
"Suoh, Kirishima, escort Sudou to wherever he has those pictures and confiscate them. Make sure there are no copies and that you collect all of them. Afterwards, meet me at warehouse five in exactly two hours. You'll receive your punishments there."
"Yes Asami-sama."
The two men stood up and bowed their heads. They made their way over to Sudou who was mortified by the response Asami had given. He thought he had won. He thought Asami would praise him and throw Akihito away. "Asami-sama! What about me?!"
"Make sure you don't give Suoh and Kirishima a hard time. I expect you all in warehouse five in exactly two hours. Now go."
Suoh and Kirishima quickly grabbed Sudou who began kicking and fussing and left the penthouse. Akihito had a feeling he already knew what kind of fate Sudou would get. He looked over at Asami who was putting his gun away. The man turned to face him and then looked at the guard who was still holding onto him.
"Take him to the master bedroom and lock him up. Guard the door until I get back."
"Yes sir."
The guard helped Akihito to his feet and guided him towards the master bedroom. Akihito took one last glance at Asami who didn't move an inch from where he stood. A menacing aura was still coming off of him, but Akihito also sensed a feeling of sadness. Looking away, Akihito wondered how things would work out after all that had just happened. Would Asami still want to marry him? Will Kirishima and Suoh still be working for him?
All Akihito could do was hope.

Lying on the bed, Akihito wondered if Kirishima and Suoh were okay. He really hoped Asami wouldn't be too hard on them and allow them to continue working under his commands. He hadn't moved from the bed since he had first entered the room. The guard had asked if he wanted anything to eat or drink, but Akihito didn't have an appetite for anything while he waited. Even though Asami's guards were a pain at times, Akihito considered them family. If any of them had to be let go or even worse killed because of him, Akihito would never forgive himself.
Three hours went by with excruciating agony. The door to the room opened and in came Asami. Akihito lifted himself up and faced the man before him. There wasn't a trace of blood on the man or any indication that he had tortured someone. Akihito bit his lower lip as he mustered up the courage to be the first one to speak.
"How are Kirishima and Suoh?"
"They have received their punishments."
"Will you still let them work for you?"
Asami slowly took off his suit jacket and placed it in the closet. He then went on to undo the cuffs on his shirt. "They're loyal men who have served me for years. Throwing them away for something like this would be a waste. Of course, if they had betrayed me to help an enemy, I wouldn't have given them any mercy."
"And Sudou?" Akihito barely asked. He never got along with the man, but he didn't want to be the reason behind someone's death. Asami looked at Akihito while he carefully undid his tie.
"He had the pictures. He also had a few hidden agendas behind my back that I wouldn't forgive. Betrayal is something I take very seriously."
Akihito felt his body tremble with fear. Sudou was definitely dead. There was no doubt about it. But what he couldn't understand was why he wasn't dead either? Sure, he was Asami's lover, giving him a bigger chance of living, but he had also betrayed him. Looking down, Akihito couldn't help but wonder if it was just the beginning of his punishment. Maybe Asami was going to kill him slowly, mentally and psychologically.
The bed dipped and brought Akihito's attention back onto Asami who was slowly moving towards him. Akihito, by instinct, started to move back until he was against the headboard. The predator was observing his prey. Neither one of them made a move or a sound. Their eyes were doing all of the talking.
Asami was the first one to move as he grabbed onto Akihito's hand. He moved to sit against the headboard and pulled Akihito's hand, causing the younger male to move on top of him in a straddling position. "I saw the pictures Akihito. I saw the determination and disgust in your eyes while you were sucking him off. Your eyes never lie."
"Is that why you didn't kill me?"
"It seems so. You've already gotten under my skin kitten. I know your reactions, your weaknesses, strengths, and every inch of your body. There's no going back."
Akihito felt the tension in his body start to leave. He pressed his forehead against Asami's and closed his eyes, wanting to keep himself from crying out in relief. "Does this mean you still want me to take on your name?" Asami traced his hand down Akihito's back before he pulled him closer against his body.
"I need you to convince me that you really want it."
Akihito smirked at the response. He opened his eyes to look at the golden ones he had come to love. Slowly, he leaned down to kiss Asami and then went on to place kisses on the man's chin, jaw-line, cheek and proceeded towards Asami's ear. He nipped at Asami's ear, wanting to hear a sound come out of his lover.
It didn't take long for a low groan to escape Asami. Akihito barely had time to enjoy it before Asami lied him down onto the bed and kissed him with a ferocious passion. They tasted each other and in minutes they were stripped of their clothing, seeking each other's touches and heat against their skin.
"R-Ryu…"
Asami stopped nipping at Akihito's chest once he heard his name. He looked up at Akihito who in return looked at the man with a smile. "What? It is weird calling you Ryu or should I call you Ryuichi?"
A small smirk formed across Asami's lips as he moved to hover over Akihito. "Is that your trick in convincing me?" Asami asked.
"It's worth a shot, right?"
"Hmm, you definitely fit the Asami name, my conniving little kitten."

Kirishima carefully got onto his bed and pulled the sheets on top of him. His body felt sore from the beating he got from his comrades. Suoh had gotten the same treatment, but with more guards and a bit more time since he was a larger built man. Taking off his glasses and placing them on the nightstand, Kirishima was amazed at how much power Akihito had over his boss. If it wasn't for the kid, Kirishima knew he wouldn't have been heard from again, neither would Suoh. They would have ended up like Sudou who had begged for mercy, but ultimately got what he deserved for trying to blackmail Asami's lover.
A small smile made its way onto his lips. Takaba Akihito was worthy of the Asami name. He had weaved himself into everyone's hearts with his energetic attitude and determined defiance. There was no better match for Asami.
Turning off the lamp and tucking himself in, Kirishima silently thanked Akihito before he drifted off to sleep.
