Atashino dark side: Lol, don't worry, Aya could never reach me (maybe) but I'm a bit worried about Mikage now haha, well as long as no one leaks this information, right? Yup the only way Mikage can accomplish any 'unnecessary task' in the eyes of Aya is by sneaking out. Like hell, Aya is going to tolerate his blond enticing other countless number of fangirls/boys here. XD About time they started living together—too bad to say they won't be able to enjoy it for long and you'll find out why pretty soon. Trust me, Mika is VERY embarrassed and speechless but it really can't be helped, at the same time he's coaxed by how much the other loves him. Nah, Katsuragi isn't Aya's begleiter, he secretly works under Ogi to be honest and is just part of the Black Hawks somehow. :/ Thanks again for your great reviews! I'm always smiling the entire time I read them lol

Chapter 16:

'It's nice to be straightforward, but sometimes I really can't help but wonder how he can say such embarrassing things like that…urg at the same time my heart is going insane in here.' Mikage clutched his chest gently while his face flushed in a deeper color of red. A small voice lost in his head told him it was going to take a while before he got used to all the frames of him that hung on the wall as his 'replacements.'

"That's not a bad reaction." There was a slice of humor behind the elder's tone of voice.

"Please just let me be for a moment…" Mikage avoided direct eye contact and took silent long breaths to calm his heart before facing the other at last. "In that case, shouldn't there be a picture of Ayanami-san as well?" He pondered back to the matter at hand. Ayanami stood silent for a second. "I mean technically it's still your house and this…well…makes me feel on the spot…" The blond played with his index fingers and thumbs, bringing them in and out.

Ayanami smirked at the younger's consideration. "Very well. For that matter," He pointed to the empty wall directly at a distance from the foot of the bed. (i.e. opposite to the bed). "the print that I was not able to choose for that space, will now occupy a joint portrait of the both of us." The teen smiled at the great idea.

"Hai!" He agreed with alacrity. With his lips still upturned, Ayanami stepped over to the blond and captured his lips with a deep kiss.

*_*_*_*_*...*_*_*_*_*

"Mikage-kun, please send your begleiter to see me, I have business to discuss." The words of the chairman ran in Mikage's mind as he cheerfully walked down the hall with a stack of papers. Begleiter. Never in a hundred years would he had find himself in such an awesome envious position. He honestly wondered what Teito's reaction to all this would be like? Even he himself had never planned what lied after graduation, so this was a lucky turn of events—none to say that Mikage was greedy for the position, he was just content wherever Ayanami was.

Assuming Ayanami was alone in his office as usual, the blond only knocked once before turning the knob and entering without any response. To his surprise, all the Black Hawks were gathered in the room and suddenly turned their attention to him. Mikage felt a boulder of humiliation hit him as it appeared a meeting was taking its place. "Uh, I'm very sorry—I wasn't aware there was supposed to be a meeting here—" He excused, debating whether he should shut the door or join them since he was a part of the team as well now.

"No, we're dismissed anyhow." Ayanami simply stated with an expressionless face, setting his paper down on the desk as soon as he noticed the teen. Hyuuga swung his head to the silverette.

"Ehh?! But Aya-tan, what about the attack we were talk—" The brunette didn't have time to finish seeing as Ayanami's glare shot through him.

"Must I repeat myself? You are all dismissed." And that was that.

"Haha look Haruse, Hyuuga got yelled at again." Kuroyuri laughed while Haruse hoisted him securely in his arms.

"Yes, yes Kuroyuri-sama." The bluenette agreed. "Congratulations on becoming Ayanami-sama's begleiter, Mikage-kun. Ganbare." He directed to Mikage before leaving.

"Ah, thank you very much." Mikage smiled, expecting the least. Out of all the Black Hawks members, Haruse was the only one he rarely ever spoke with.

"Hey yeah, you're right! Mika-chan is now officially tied to Aya-tan. We need to throw you a welcoming party!" Hyuuga hooted, adding tons of subtext there.

"That's something you're supposed to arrange outside of the military. Come on now Hyuuga-san." Konatsu dragged the other out the door by the collar before congratulating Mikage as well. The final person to walk up to him was Katsuragi who also gave him a pat on the shoulder and encouraged him to work hard. The teen watched as they all left and the door automatically closed. He was beginning to feel grateful to their small team even if some of their missions haven't been one of the kindest in the past decades.

"I'm sorry again, I wasn't informed—" The teen turned back to the seated silverette.

"Who cares about that anymore? Now come here." Ayanami demanded yet equally kindly.

Mikage placed the papers on the desk before obliging. "These are applications for the new enrollments by the way." As soon as he was an arm's length, the chief pulled the thin figure on to his lap and began nuzzling the crook of his nose into the younger's neck, at the same time undoing his first button. "Whoa—ah, Ayanami-san, don't mind me saying but—this really isn't the best place for this…" Of course, Ayanami refused to listen. Mikage had no option but to cup the elder's face with both his gloved hands and push a millimeter away to face him properly.

"Um, I just remembered that Chairman Miroku wished to see you in his office, right away." He notified harmlessly as he slowly removed his hands.

The silverette's eyebrows frowned immediately. 'Well, it can't be helped. I must admit, ever since Mikage-kun, I'm beginning to feel everything otherwise routinely as irritating.'

"Ayanami-san?"

"Wait here for me." The chief finally resolved, kissing the palm of one of the teen's hand and then helped him off his lap.

"Got it." Mikage waved. 'I sure wish he'd speak his mind more.' Thinking back at the pause.

In Miroku's Office:

"Aren't you taking matters lightly Ayanami-kun? How long has it been since we've uncovered the hideouts of Teito Klein?" Apart from the accusation, it indeed struck Ayanami that he had let that matter slip his mind. However, at the same time, it was no surprise either. It's not like he gave a damn about the brat in the first place. His only desire was to acquire the Eye of Mikhail.

"While you were away, I had received reports for possible locations of the child." Chairman informed.

"And where would that be?" The chief asked but didn't know why.

"District 7." Chairman replied.

"…The Barsburg?"

"That's right."

Back at Aya-tan's office:

A lonely Mikage paced about the office immensely bored now. "What's taking him this long?" As a normal human being with no reason to stop him, Mikage followed his intuition and made his way to the chairman's office. He had no intention of eavesdropping or such, instead simply needed a better position to soothe his boredom while waiting for the other.

"This time, without delay I want you to bring Teito Klein back." Chairman Miroku was heard claiming. Mikage immediately froze in his footsteps. Did he just hear that right? By now he was close enough to the door to hear what they were conversing about inspite the volume they were speaking in.

"Yes sir." Ayanami heeded.

"I'm glad you understand. Moreover, I am aware you have been in search for the Eye of Mikhail. Let's not forget Teito is also a possible candidate for that since he was the only one left with the Raggs' King."

The Raggs? Mikage heard that name a couple of times by now. 'Wasn't Ayanami the one who destroyed it? Rumors were that Ayanami was once affiliated himself—That was beside the point momentarily! He was more concerned for Teito. Would the army really lose much from one runaway kid? But then again what was this Eye of Mikhail?' Mikage began to fret. 'but Teito…they want him back… I almost risked everything to help him escape, it'd be meaningless if they brought him back now. Moreover, who knows what they'd do to him once he's back... What do I do?' With no answer to that, he slowly urged his muscles to evade from that place immediately.

"Teito." He called out the name in despair before his mind could even register it.

Ayanami glanced towards the door while still standing before the Chairman.

"Is someone there?" The chairman inquired suspiciously.

"Excuse me." The silverette simply claimed and stepped outside the office. "Mikage-kun?" He was subtly shocked to find the blond staggering a few feet away from the door.

Mikage jumped, almost as if he was caught drug dealing. The teen didn't turn back. Suddenly all the scenes of the past including his confinement, threats to his family, and Teito were flooding back into him causing his palms to sweat and throat to gag. Finally, he creaked his head back fearfully in response to the elder.

"A-a-…" The teen didn't realize when he had lost his voice in the process. Ayanami didn't fail to notice his unanticipated state of apprehension and walked over to him calmly, resting a secure arm around his shoulders.

"Let's head back." Ayanami stated, leading the way. Mikage only nodded his head once and quietly walked by his side until the moment they arrived home. 'How much exactly did he hear?' The chief wondered during the time he unlocked the door. The blond watched as he removed his hat and cloak, unbuttoning the first button on his shirt as well. Mikage only stood in the living room, handicapped. The elder glanced back at the quiet still blond while he unhooked his sleeve cuffs.

"Some one's awfully subdued today." Ayanami walked over to his lover and buried his lips into the silky blond hair. He slipped his long hand atop of the younger's and interlocked their fingers, taking a step back and guiding them to the couch. The elder nonchalantly sat down and hauled the blond into his lap again, this time seating him sideways with both legs on one side as he locked his hands over the small waist. There was a moment of peace before Ayanami leaned into the other's shoulder. "So, how much did you hear?" He whispered in a flattering voice.

The blond finally looked at him then glanced away, not able to formulate an answer on the spot. "Is it true…? Are you going to find Teito and bring him back?" Ayanami automatically scowled at how casually the name slipped from the other's lips.

'So he's heard the main part.' The silverette resolved in his head. "Yes."

"…are you going?"

"Of course not. As the Chief, I execute commands not enforce them."

"In that case—can I join the team as well?" The blond gazed directly into the elder's eyes this time and for a change brought about a pleading tone in his voice. The elder was really beginning to lose his leniency now. His brows knitted further as he stared back at the teen.

"Do you think I'm insane? Were you not the one who contributed in his escape in the first place? Are you planning to betray the army again?" Ayanami glared at him mercilessly.

"No! I—I just want to see him, that's all—I promise!" Mikage protested immediately just in case the elder was to suddenly confine him behind bars again. He was practically powerless, but nonetheless he desired to see Teito if the mission was to be carried out, or at least be present when the army located him.

'Just as I suspected, he'd run away in a heartbeat if he knew where Teito was.' Ayanami very much regretted not getting rid of Teito when he had the chance to, back during the war. 'Dammit!' "No,"

Mikage stared at him not quite catching the last part. "No, you are not going anywhere." Ayanami made it very clear this time and threw the younger onto the couch. "Do you wish to leave that badly?!" Fire was now dancing in his eyes as he climbed on top of the blond.

"Aya—" The silverette wasn't in the mood to listen to anything anymore and trapped the other's lips forcefully with his, sliding his tongue in very soon as well. The kiss was so aggressive that Mikage felt all the life with oxygen being sucked out of him. He gripped the shoulders of the elder fiercely attempting all his might to push away, positive he would pass out if he didn't. However, the chief didn't budge and only breeched the contact when the teen was on the verge of hyperventilating. The younger lay there desperately trying to catch his breath. Ayanami saw no reason forbidding him from continuing and thus bind the other's wrists in his hands and began biting his now exposed neck.

"Auw!" Mikage cried at every harsh bite that was prosecuted by the silverette, while straddling his hips with one leg. Next Ayanami tore his uniform off and yanked his trousers down. "Wai—please—" After licking, biting and decorating the blond's upper body red and blue, he moved down to tease another seductive part of the younger. Mikage's hands were locked and tears burned his eyes from the tingling pain and pleasure. "Nnmh…haa…." He moaned through clenched teeth. "Not there…"

Despite the ecstasy and state of daze, the blond noticed that the silverette prepared him less than usual which conspicuously reflected his impatience. And the only time Ayanami was impatient was when he was losing himself. The elder stretched his opening and didn't hesitate to force his way in, almost as if he was marking his territory. "Ah!" The gesture caused the blond to arch backwards, on the already narrow sofa, water streaming down his eyes. "Ayanam—san—slow—down…uwa!" He didn't realize how long the pain lasted before he passed out altogether.

To Be Continued…

Crap, looks like Ayanami's mad again—I tell you, never get on his insecure side. He's just afraid Mikage will leave him for Teito since he can clearly see how much Mika cares for the boy even before their confessions. And he had just made Mika his too.

Not a very long chapter, but I get the feeling I'll be updating soon. Anyhow, Mika won't be able to join us today for obvious reasons—but plz REVIEW!
