Chapter Six
"You two should go. It's getting late"
"We'll be fine Youji-kun"
Aya heard the voices as his eye's slowly fluttered open wondering who they were. What was the last thing he remembered? A mission? That was it . . . Had something gone wrong? He didn't even recall seeing the target.
As his eyes opened, he saw Youji sitting beside him while Omi and Ken were sat on the opposite side of the room. But where was he? What room was he in? Well that was easy to answer. Only one place could look so bleak and miserable and have that strange smell. He was in a hospital.
"Aya you're awake!" Youji exclaimed as he noticed Aya watching him
"What happened?" Aya asked groggily.
"You passed out back at the club," Omi said looking terrified with worry.
"Oh" Aya replied.
Youji stood up and moved to perch next to Aya on the bed. He took one of the slender red-heads hands in his own as his other hand went to sweep the hair failing into Aya's eyes off his brow. "Are you ok?" he asked concern radiating from his green eyes.
"I'm fine. I've just been tired recently," Aya said just loud enough for Youji to hear, not wanting to admit a weakness in front of the two younger men in the room.
"I'll go find a nurse and tell her that Aya has woken up. Do you want to come too Ken-kun?" Omi said as he stood up from his chair.
"Sure," Ken replied as he stood and stretched and then followed Omi out of the room.
"How long was I out of it?" Aya asked his lover
"Couple of hours. You had me worried." Youji said after a few seconds pause he continued, "What's wrong? Please tell me and this time don't lie. Does it have anything to do with that stuff that Kawaguchi injected you with?"
"What stuff - oh that. I'm fine-"
"No your not! I want the truth." Youji interrupted as he moved away from Aya to look out of the window with his back to Aya.
Aya was saved from answering as the doctor entered calling out, "ah Fujimiya-san, it's nice to see you awake. Now if I can just ask you to leave so I can make sure the patient is ok"
Youji exited into the hall and closed the door behind him with out a backward glance at Aya.
"I didn't interrupt anything did I?" the doctor asked Aya. Aya's response was to glare. "Ok then moving on . . . I need you to tell me if you've bee showing any signs of illness recently and please give me the truth it will make everything so much more easier."
Aya sighed before starting, "well I've been nauseous for a while and I seem to get tired more easily but it's nothing more than the flu"
"Hm . . . well I'm not so sure . . . How long has this been happening for?"
"A month maybe a bit longer" Aya replied quietly
"I told you to come to me if you showed any signs of illness!" the doctor said exasperated, "you were injecting with a substance that we have no idea what it is. Why didn't you come to se me?"
"I didn't want to make him worry." Aya replied looking wistfully at the closed door.
"He's big boy now I'm sure he could manage," the doctor replied before sighing, "I want blood tests and urine sample's before you leave but I want you back tomorrow for the results"
***
The journey back to the Koneko was tense to say the least. Even Omi had given up trying to make conversation. The dark cloud that was hanging over the heads of the two elder assassins was enough to even dampen his high sprits so he had taken to reading a new computing magazine.
As soon as Youji stopped the car when he reached home the back doors had been thrown open and Omi and Ken rushed inside.
"I'm sorry," Youji said to Aya as Aya went to climb out too.
"Pardon" Aya said as he was pulled out of his thoughts a million miles away and turned to face Youji.
"I said I'm sorry. I should trust you when you say it's nothing" Youji repeated. "I worry about you . . . I don't want to lose you. You know I love you don't you?
Aya raised a hand to caress Youji's face and said, "You know I love you too don't you? I have no intention of leaving. Not now, not ever". He leaned in to brush a soft kiss across Youji's lips
Omi choose that moment to come out, "oh you two are speaking again? Good. I came to ask if anyone would like some tea before bed?"
"None for me but thank you for the offer" Aya replied first
"Same goes here. I'm ready for bed. Unlike some people" he tapped Aya on the nose; "I didn't get a nap this afternoon!"
"You could have had one," Aya said in defence as he climbed out of the car and headed into the back of the Koneko
"Do you have any idea how uncomfortable I was?" Youji retorted as he followed Aya. "My butt had gone to sleep though".
Aya snorted with laughter, "you could have woken me up"
"What? I don't have a death wish! Anyway," Youji moved in behind Aya and wrapped his arms around this lover's slender waist, "your room or mine?"
Aya turned to face Youji, "I thought you was tired"
"Well what's so tiring about lying on your back? You're the one who had the nap." Youji said suggestively before leaning in and claiming Aya's lips with his own in a heated kiss.
"I'm an innocent! I shouldn't be seeing or hearing that type of thing!" Omi said covering his eyes.
"Sorry Chibi. See you in the morning" Youji said before grabbing Aya's hand and pulling him through the door.
Omi, left outside, smiled to himself. 'It was nice to see Aya-kun and Youji- kun happy together,' he thought to himself, surprised at the change that had happened to Aya's personality recently but glad it had. It gave him hope that if Aya and Youji can find happiness, despite what they do, maybe one day, he'll find his happiness too.
***
It was much later that night and Aya lay in Youji's staring at the ceiling of the room, the guilt in the pit of his stomach keeping him awake. He knew he had lied to Youji before but he didn't like the thought of worrying the blond. He lied when he said he was fine. He obviously wasn't and most of the things up with him he didn't tell the doctor. He didn't fell ill; in fact, he couldn't remember ever feeling like he did know. Granted, yes, he was showing a few strange symptoms but he wasn't feeling like he was ill. It was hard to explain but Aya knew how he felt. It was just hard to articulate.
'Oh well' he mused internally as he snuggled into Youji, 'I'll find out tomorrow what's up with me.'
***
The following morning came and Aya was just in the verge of heading out to the hospital when Manx arrived to see him.
"The mission failed last night. Do you mind explaining why?" she asked, "If you're not well you don't do the missions. You put yourself and the rest of your team in danger. Now what did the doctor say was wrong?"
"He ran some tests I was just going to get the results" Aya replied calmly
"I know the Doctor asked for me to come along as well. I was hoping you had some idea what was going on but obviously, you don't. Let's go I'll drive"
***
All too soon for Aya's liking he was sat in the Doctor's office and like normal the doctor was running late but came blustering in ten minutes late.
"I'm so sorry I'm late Fujimiya-san, Manx-san. Do you mind if Manx-san is present?" the doctor asked Aya, interpreting the silence he received as affirmative, "we have done the tests and we have reached a conclusion about your situation. Aya, we think you're pregnant."

I don't want to leave it there but I have no choice. I really have to do some work. Evil work. Although maybe if I hadn't of spent the afternoon in the pub . . . I'm an alcoholic leave me alone.
