So Takaba ended up staying with Asami for about a week before he was finally able to convince the other that he was kind of safe to move back into his apartment, as he was able to start using his left arm better then before, he still didn't have full range with it, but it no longer needed to be bandaged and he could use it for simple tasks such as holding his own paper while drawing and such.

Asami didn't agree to give him full freedom to stay back at his apartment permanently during the day though Asami said that it wouldn't be much of a problem if he wanted to stay there, just at night he had to return. Takaba was surprised though because he had honestly expected Asami to fight more over this matter. But despite the fact that Asami seemed rather possessive over him, he didn't seem to have a problem with him leaving.

The car drive was rather silent, as it tended to be whenever Asami took Takaba anywhere because he was beginning to be rather busy again with all sorts of phone calls. And seemed to always ignoring him for them. This didn't bother Takaba that much though because firstly Asami had been giving him quite a bit of attention recently and secondly because Asami was being Asami and that was something that Takaba could easily deal with. Asami being nice to him was something that made his skin craw because he was certain that at one point in time or another something was going to happen and Asami would expect payment for what he had done for Takaba while he was injured, though it had yet to happen yet far Takaba was still nervous about that.

Asami got off the phone at about the same time the limousine stopped in front of his apartment. Takaba was heavily pleased over the fact that he'd hadn't been gone long enough for his rent to need to be paid again otherwise he was certain that he'd end up being evicted.

Once outside of the limousine Takaba started walking towards his apartment with Asami following closely behind him, he stopped suddenly though when he heard familiars voices coming from the inside of his apartment, one of the voices that heard was one he knew shouldn't have been anywhere near his apartment. Forcing himself to move forward Takaba made his way to the front of the apartment and got ready to open the door, Asami standing almost directly behind him.

"Well speak of the devil, here's the happy couple now." Takaba froze again once inside the apartment at the sight of Feilong standing there with Kou and Takato on other side staring intently at him while Feilong looked thoroughly amused by the look that was on Takaba's face.

"Couple?" Takato questioned as he looked over at Takaba who had a horrified expression on his face.

"Is it true Aki?" Kou asked also looking over at his friend, though before he had a chance to reply Feilong was already answering the question for him.

"Your friend is probably a little too shy to admit the truth himself, but yes, they really are in a relationship, in fact that two of them just came back from any enjoyable trip in Hong Kong, you could almost say that it was a honey moon had the two of them been engaged."

"What?" Takaba exclaimed in disbelief at what Feilong was saying, there was no way in hell that he'd ever agree or admit to being in a relationship with Asami, he wasn't the worst person to be in a relationship with, but he was most certainly a little too much for the mangaka to handle. Takato was now staring at his friend intently waiting to see what the exact problem was with that Chinese man had just said. Takato couldn't deny the fact that Asami was most certainly suave and most possible could've been Takaba's type, but he also to a certain sense seemed kind of cold, and possible a little too distant for them to be in a relationship.

"It's a problem Takaba to admit to the fact that you're in a relationship with your boss?" Feilong questioned with a slight cock of his head, Takaba knew that he must've been blushing at this point.

"Boss?" Both of his friends exclaimed the question looking at Takaba in disbelief. Though he didn't say anything Asami raised an eyebrow at the scene in front of him, obviously amused by everything, but not really seem to be interested getting involved or helping to explain anything, though Takaba was trying useless argue the point that he and Asami were most certainly not in a relationship

"Asami don't you have anything that you can say about this?" Takaba asked, obviously at the desperate point as he grabbed a hold of Asami's sleeve to get the older man's attention. The smirk that passed over Asami's face when Takaba asked this question was more then enough of a sign that he wouldn't be getting any help from the older man.

"Are you really certain that you want me to explain the situation to them Aki?" Takaba's face dropped immensely at this point, not believing the fact that Asami just called him that.

Takato glanced between his friend and apparently lover, still not all that certain what to make of the situation in front of him, but his friend obviously had something different to say about the whole matter. Takato cleared his throat, mostly catching Asami's attention when he did this.

"Might it be possible for us to borrow our friend for a while so we can talk with him?" Takato politely asked Asami who stared at him for a few seconds before giving a response.

"I don't mind if you want to spend some time with, I would prefer if he was back before nightfall." Asami replied.

"Besides that we have some important talking to do." Feilong added.

Takaba groaned inwardly thanks to Takato because he really wasn't all that certain what to say about Asami, because they weren't really lovers, Asami had just forced himself onto the young mangaka though the other was unwilling to go through with everything.

Certainly Asami wasn't the worst possible person that Takaba could've ended up with, but in the boy's opinion he was pretty high up on the list of bad people to end up with.

"So Takaba behave yourself while you're out with your friends and I'll come by to pick you up this evening." Asami told Takaba with what appeared to be a smile on his face, though the other knew better then to think it was a smile, for he had come to learn what that look on his face meant. Right then and there Takaba really wished that he could yelled at the older and said 'you bastard! All of this is your fault, if you had just kept to yourself then I wouldn't have to be dealing with these problems!' of course Takaba knew that with his friends so close by that it wouldn't be such a good idea to have that kind of outburst, so he contained himself for the time being by simply gritting his teeth together as he watched Feilong and Asami leave. Takaba could be thankful over the fact that Feilong was at least a safe subject to talk about even if Asami wasn't.

"Akihito, you have a lot of explaining to do." Takaba cringed when Takato said his name like that because it meant Takato was serious about this whole thing, very serious.
