It had only been four hours since he had gone but when Akihito returned home, he found a new lock on the apartment door and a note saying:
`Akihito - I have rented you an apartment in Ota-ku. I don´t wish for you to stay here any longer. Your belongings have already been transported there. Suoh will take you to the address. Asami´
The first minute or two, Akihito just stared at the note. His mind didn´t seem capable of processing the words.
Then it hit him like a lightning running down a tree.
"Asami", he yelled, slamming on the door with the keys in his clenched fist. "Asami, stop the bullshit, I am not angry with you for hurting me! Let me in, please! Let´s talk!"
Nothing. Akihito waited. At least three minutes.
On the other side of the door, Asami watched the feed from the surveillance camera on the small screen next to the door. He dialed Suoh to come upstairs and take Akihito away. His heart ached. But he needed to protect the boy.
As he watched as Suoh closed in on the yelling boy. Asami´s chest hurt. He hated it so much, this godforsaken sickness for this boy. All he was was a good fuck, he tried to persuade himself. It wouldn´t work.
With one hand on the door that gave a slight jolt every time Akihito slammed the key against it, Asami held his breath as the crying boy struggled with the bodyguard. Suddenly Asami heard a gunshot ring through the door.
Suoh held his bleeding leg, confusedly looking at Akihito. "Fuck! Takaba! Fuck!"
But Akihito didn´t care anymore. If Asami would just kick him out for doing nothing wrong, he needed to take action.
"Asami, open the door! I know you are there! Open up", he screamed in tears against the locked door.
On the other side, Asami called his medics on short dial.
"I can take on anything you do to me, I am not afraid anymore! Please! Asami! Please, let me stay with you! I can´t live without you! Asami, please!"
Desperately he raised the gun to his temple. In the corner of his eye, he saw Suoh crawl towards him, so he turned to him and shouted: "Don´t you dare! This is something between me and him, and if you try to touch me, I will kill you!" Madness in his red eyes glared at Suoh.
"Asami! Open up! Please! Asami! I can take it! Asami! Don´t kick me out! Asami! Please!"
Akihito had shouted himself into a chant of agony and desperation. He sank to his knees sobbing and crying bitterly.
"Asami! Open, please! Asami! Please! Asami! Asami! I love you! I can´t live without you! If I can´t be with you, I swear, I will kill myself! Please, Asami! I love you!"
Asami watched as Akihito became more silent every moment. He now only talked manically to himself, still Asami could hear him through the door.
"I am not afraid anymore", Asami heard his boy chant. "I love you. I am not afraid. Forgive me."
This time he meant it, Asami thought alarmed. He quickly unlocked the door to pull the gun from Akihito´s hands when a shot glazed his collar bone.
Akihito looked into his eyes, sobbing loudly and clenching his fists against his upper body.
"You asshole! You fucking asshole!"
The elevator doors opened and the medical rushed into the scenery. Taking the chance as it came, Akihito quickly ran inside as far as he could get, and into his room, where nothing but a blank mattress and bare furniture froze his body at once. He fell down in bitter tears holding on to the mattress.
It took Asami a few minutes to get rid of the doctor who cleaned and patched the wound. He then followed the sobbing into Akihito´s room to find the boy crouched on the floor. As soon as Akihito noticed the steps, he turned and yelled at his lover.
"Now listen up, Asshole, I am only going to say this once! You are never getting me out of here! If you try again, I promise you, I will kill myself!"
What an idiot Asami had been. Had he really thought, Akihito wouldn´t fight back?
"You are a jerk and a bastard and an asshole and to top it all, you just made me say I love you, which is probably the worst thing you have ever done to me, you coward!"
