Changes
So I had this chapter written for about 6 months along with like three other versions and I couldn't decide which one i wanted to go with. At 1:30 AM what I had been looking for finally came to me...Chapter 8. I didn't know where to take the story after this chapter and nothing felt right because of that but now I know where I'm going so I hope to update more. So without further ado, here it is, like an early Christmas present…
Chapter 7
Asami was being driven to the hospital by Souh. He had left Kirishma back at Sion while he spent the next few days with Amelia. Her surgery was tomorrow and she was getting a little nervous and to be honest so was he. He could stare down the barrel of a gun and beat the life out of any man but the thought of his little girl being operated on put his stomach in knots. He took a deep calming breath as the car pulled up to the front door. He needed to be strong for Amelia. He was deep in thought all the way up to Amelia's room he didn't even notice that someone was already there when he entered.
"Oh. Hey Asami." Akihito said from his spot beside the bed.
"Akihito? What are you doing here?" Asami asked coming to sit on the other side of Amelia.
"Aki came to visit before the thingy tomorrow." Amelia said with a smile, "He says I'll be asleep the whole time."
"It's called a surgery Amelia." Asami said with a small smile.
"I told her there was nothing to be worried about and the doctors are going to take real goos care of her." Akihito said smiling at Amelia.
"And daddy will take care of anyone who hurts me. Right Aki?"
"Right." He responds giving her a high five.
Asami just watched the exchange with yet another small smile. These two were quickly becoming the most important people in his life and he had only known them for such a short time. He would protect them.
"Daddy?" Amelia said pulling him from his musing, "Will you read me a story tonight?"
"Of course." He said picking up one of the books beside the bed. A simple princess tale but one of Amelia's favorites.
Amelia fell asleep before the end of the story and Asami pulled the blankets up to cover her better before giving her a small kiss on the forehead. Akihito watched the tender moment in complete silence. They were both making their way out the door when a small voice called out to them.
"Daddy? Aki? Will I see you both tomorrow?" It was Akihito that went over to her sitting on the side of her bed to speak to her.
"Of course. We will both be here before you go in for surgery."
And they both were, arriving at the same time and seeing her off right through the doors leading to the OR. They spent the day in a VIP waiting room that Akihito didn't even know existed. Asami was smoking a cigarette while Akihito fidgeted with his camera. He started taking photos of Asami as he stood by the window, as he paced, when he sat in contemplation. They spent eight hours waiting together carely saying more than a word when the doctor finally came in.
"The surgery was a complete success. We were able to remove the majority of the mass with a bit more chemo and radiation the mass should disappear entirely."
"Oh, thank God." Akihito said with a sigh of relief, "When can we see her?"
"You can see her once she is out of recovery but she won't be awake. She should wake up sometime tomorrow."
"Thank you, doctor."
Asami and Akihito waited another hour and a half before being able to see Amelia. Asami stood at the door while Akihito sat at the edge of Amelia's bed with a small smile. He kissed her on the forehead and tucked her new get-well soon teddy bear under her arm while Asami watched in complete silence. Akihito had just passed Asami at the door when he was grabbed on the shoulder. He turned to Asami.
"Come to dinner with me."
Asami and Akihito went to eat at a high-class restaurant, only the best for Asami Ryuichi. Akihito didn't even complain he just excepted it, Asami seemed to be in a weird state of shock. They ate and left without much delay. Asami took Akihito back to his apartment, leading him up the stairs to his door.
"Well this is my stop." Akihito said awkwardly while Asami continued to stare at him, "Are you going to say anything?" But Asami remained silent, "Well...bye...I guess."
Akihito was opening his door when Asami grabbed him spinning him around and locking lips in a heart stopping kiss. Asami licked Akihito's lip asking for entrance which was immediately given. He explored Akihito's mouth encouraging Akihito's tongue to play. Akihito's legs gave out under him and he was secured by a pair of strong arms. When the need for air became to strong they broke apart Asami still holding Akihito up. Getting his footing back, Akihito backed out of Asami's arms moving just behind his door.
"Goodnight...Ryuichi." He said closing the door in front of him. Akihito put his back against the door staring up at the ceiling. He was really getting in to deep with this. On the other side of the door Asami stared at the piece of wood separating him for those sweet lips. He would taste those lips again soon, he thought as he walked back to his limp, and hopefully much more.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, kinda short but just putting me in a good place...I look to have the next one out by next week. Please leave a review : )
