Chap3

The half an hour passed like the wind and before I knew it usagi was up on stage. The crowd stood from their chairs and applauded as he began his speech. I paid no mind to his little thank you speech, but instead paid more attention to all the women who were giving usagi "the look". I took it upon myself to glare at them and make sure they knew he was mine. The girls ignored my death stare and continued on with their flirting. With a small pout I instead put my attention to izuru who was playing with a fork. I immediately took it away from him which caused him to scream. His cry's caused the people to look at me evilly, making me feel completely embarrassed. I took a side glance at usagi; he looked down at me for a second before turning back to the audience. Izuru continued to cry, I needed to find a substitute for the fork and fast. I looked around the table for something he could play with that wouldn't hurt him.

Nothing.

Then I remembered that I had brought some of his toys with me. I quickly dug through the bag looking for that one bunny rabbit. I finally found it at the bottom of the bag and gave it to him. He stopped his crying and hugged the rabbit. I sighed with relief when the sound of his whales stopped echoing through the room of quiet people. After a few minutes, the people around me forgot about the noise and turned back there attention to usagi. The relief was so refreshing that I didn't realize that usagi had called my name.

"I would like to introduce everyone to someone I hold very dear….misaki would you come up here?" hearing my name made me jump. I looked up to usagi; he was waving me up onto the stage. I quickly picked up izuru and stood up, pushing the chair onto the ground as I did. I heard a few people giggle, making my cheeks flare up from embarrassment. As quickly as I could without falling, I got up on the stage. People were staring at me, some, where whispering to each other and others where uninterested, but all of their actions bothered me and made me uncomfortable. Usagi grabbed my free hand, entwining our fingers together as a way of comfort.

"This is my partner, misaki Akihiko and my son izuru Akihiko. We were married last June and decided that now was the perfect time to tell the world about it. Are there any questions for me or misaki?" I watched as almost half of the room raised their hands in anticipation. Usagi picked someone from the back; it was a woman with long brown hair and a pretty red dress.

"I have a question for you, what do you mean by "partner?" usagi let out a sigh, he knew that question was coming.

"it means he is my lover…in America gay marriage is legal. Next question." A few more people raised their hands. Usagi picked a man in the front this time.

"I have a question for misaki, how did you meet akihiko san?" I paused for a moment, thinking of what was proper to say. The way we met was…really weird and probably would get usagi arrested. I decided to keep it simple.

"umm…he was a good friend of my brother...and he became my tutor and my landlord and after a while we fell in love." Satisfied with the answer the man sat down and another person raised there hand. I called on her and she smiled.

"Yes ummm….misaki how old is your son?" I giggled at the women's excited voice.

"Izuru is two going on three…he is turning three in November on the third." The woman bowed then sat down. Izuru began to snivel and wiggle in my hands, I looked to usagi and he looked at izuru. He smiled then pulled us into a hug.

"This is my family…and I wish for nothing but there safety and their well-being…they are who I am and my inspiration for a lot of my books. They are the ones that kept me going even when I thought me couldn't. Thank you all for coming today and I hope you stay for the after party." Usagi ended the speech and hurried me and izuru off the stage. He quickly looked at his watch then looked at me.

"It's already eleven; I think it's time to go home don't you?" I nodded my head and looked to the sleepy little boy in my arms.

"You ready to go home, izuru?" izuru slightly opened his eyes then nodded, before closing his eyes again.

It was a quiet ride home; nothing could be heard except for the cars passing by and the light snore in the back seat. Usagi had his eyes locked on the rode while I looked out the passenger window. Before I knew it, usagi broke the silence.

"hey misaki….when we get home, put izuru to bed then let have some fun ok?" I looked over to him in shock, his eyes where still locked on the rode but instead of his usual face he had a smirk. I knew that by the way he was looking at me that I was not going to get any sleep that night.
