AN: Ah... Sorry I've taken so long to get this updated. -_- My brother's friend took apart my computer to add the hard drive to a new, better computer, but it didn't work. My comp was down for almost a week and I just had to fork over 118$ to get it repaired right. I know, I know, a LOT of money, but I was desperate! I was seriously starting to get depressed... That is how much of a life I don't have. e.e;; Jeeze, where's my violins? ^^;;; On with the fic! (special thanks to TK-chan and my two "helpful" muses! I love you guys!)
DISCLAIMER: So I failed to put these up on the past few chapters... ^^;;; Doesn't mean I own FY or any of the bishounen. -_- It's all still wishful thinking ... like it always will be.
For a moment, Genrou couldn't help but stare in open shock at Regina as he frantically floundered for something to say. Dr. Ri was at an equal loss, his face a bright red as he stood there like a child, nervously wringing his hands together. Regina was more shocked then the two of them put together. She had been on her way out to pick up a few things for dinner at the store, never expecting to find her son and his doctor like they were on the other side of the door. Her mouth opened and closed a few times as she tried to say something, but only becoming more flustered when no words came out.
"R-regina... I can explain..." Genrou offered nervously as his gaze shifted from her, to Dr. Ri and then back to her. "It ain't what ya think!" He winced after he said that. It actually was everything she must have thought it was. Dr. Ri also gave him a look at that. Genrou sighed and raked his fingers through his hair and sheepishly dropped his gaze to the ground. There was no way around this one, nor was there any turning back now.
"Genrou... I think that you, Dr. Ri, and I need to have a talk. Inside," Regina said quietly as she eyed the two of them hard, then turned to go back inside, expecting them to follow. Dr. Ri closed his eyes a moment and took a deep breath before going in side after Genrou.
Regina stood behind a chair at the table in the dinning room, gripping the back of it so tightly her knuckles turned white. Genrou took a seat and so did Dr. Ri, though he was a bit hesitant about doing so and was careful not to sit too close to his patient. There was a long stretch of uncomfortable silence as each of them gathered their thoughts and what they were going to say. Genrou grew impatient and opened his mouth to say something, but immediately shut it when Dr. Ri gave him a look. He scowled a little, sitting back in his chair and folded his arms over his chest, but he knew the doctor was right. He would no doubt say something to make matters worse.
"Mrs. Wieland," Dr. Ri finally spoke, "I think I have a good idea of what you're about to say."
"Please, Dr. Ri... Just allow me to speak. I'm still a little shocked over this whole situation," Regina responded, finally taking a seat with them at the table. She absently fingered the place matt in front of her, then raised her gaze to Genrou. "You know Erik isn't going to like this. And to be perfectly honest, I'm not to happy about it either." She shifted her eyes to Dr. Ri. "And as for you, I'm sure you're more aware of the consequences more so than Genrou here."
Dr. Ri nodded lightly. "Mrs. Wieland, I assure you that the both of us have carefully took them into consideration before making any kind of decision."
Regina frowned, then let out a soft sigh, obviously calming down some and becoming easier to talk to. "I just want the two of you to know that the only problem I have with this is your public relationship. Dr. Ri could loose his job, and Genrou... I don't even want to think about what could happen with you. Especially with you still being a minor."
"We *know* that, Regina!" Genrou couldn't keep silent any longer. "Dr. Ri an' I already thought all this shit over! An' I ain't gonna be a minor fer too much longer!"
"A lot can happen between now and just a few more months, Genrou!"
"We're bein' fuckin' careful!"
"Genrou, please!"
Regina and Genrou both fell quiet and turned their attention to Dr. Ri, his exclamation cutting their argument short. The doctor sighed and folded his hands together and rested them in front of him on the table top, attaining his professional air. "Mrs. Wieland, I understand completely your concerns. Believe me, they are the same as mine. Honestly, I never anticipated that things would get this serious between Genrou and I. I hope that you can see as well that I'm not a man to take my profession lightly. I am very well aware of the consequences, which is why I'm making sure that the two of us take extra careful care." He paused and winced a moment before continuing. "Which may be hard for you to believe after catching us the way you did, but rest assured that you are the only one who knows."
Regina shifted a little in her seat, taking in everything the doctor told her. She looked to Genrou who was unusually quiet, and appeared to be in deep thought as well. There were all sorts of choices she could make, but each one would affect her son and the doctor in different ways. True, she wanted the both of them to be happy, but she also didn't want to jeopardize everything they had going for them. Dr. Ri had a successful career, and Genrou was almost to his last year of high school. There was so much ahead for both of them.
"Regina." She looked up at the sound of her name, surprised that the soft tone had come from Genrou, and listened intently as he spoke. "I know that yer worried, an' it's okay. It's yer job t' look after me an' my well being. But, fer once in my life, I finally know what I want. An' I ain't ever had that happen t' me 'fore. I've always had t' accept what others wanted fer me." He hesitated a moment to swallow back the emotion that was creeping into his voice. It was hard to talk about such things without memories of his past rushing back at him. "Dr. Ri means so much t' me. He's shown me th' better side o' life, an' motivated me t' be th' better person no one thought I could ever be. An' I love him. I honestly, truly love him."
Dr. Ri felt his heart clench at Genrou's touching words. To have him confess like that openly meant more to him then he could even begin to say. Genrou never showed his true feelings in front of others, and for him to do so in front of Regina was a real honor. A soft smile came across his face as he looked to Genrou with a tender look of love and admiration. They had come so far in such a short amount of time, but he treasured every second of being with him, and craved more time. He knew at that moment if he were to loose everything he worked for in his life, he would still be the luckiest and happiest man on earth because he had Genrou by his side.
Regina reached up and wiped at her eyes. Both Genrou and Dr. Ri had moved her with their words that certainly wasn't making it easy for her to come to a decision about the situation. She had to keep a level head though. She needed to be rational and make an adult choice. So, she did.
"All right... I won't tell Erik, but you two better be more careful. If anyone else catches you like I did earlier, there won't be anything I can do to help."
