A Family?
Pairing: NowakixHiroki, Egoist- Duhh!
Important Crap: So, Nowaki brings home a kid from the hospital he works at. It's a little girl named Hina Yasha. Hiroki, surprisingly, can't help but fall in love with that sweet child; she reminds him too much of Nowaki. He agrees to let her live there and the longer she stays, the more they find out about her past. (It's sad.)
Let's Get'er done!
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Yasha-chan, I'm afraid-" Nowaki's Sempai started.
"I'm dying? Kind of figured, doc." Yasha-san smiled warmly, fulling excepting her fate. "Oh, but my daughter, Hina . . . She's only 6, I can't just leave her . . . " she said, her eyesight clouded with tears.
Nowaki felt a lump in his throat. It was completely unbearable. "Doesn't she have any other relatives?" he chimed in in a raspy voice.
"'Fraid not, Doc. All of our relatives . . . they just kind of flew off after I had my baby girl. She was the sun in my life, hence her name. Hina Yasha, oh my beautiful baby girl . . . " Yasha-san trailed off.
"Sempai, would you mind?" Nowaki shooed his Sempai off.
"Oh, Doc . . . I can't just leave her . . . Can't I fight this? I mean it's cancer, but . . . " she trailed, feeling defeated already.
"I'm so sorry." Nowaki said, on the verge of tears. "But, I have an offer. I'm not sure if my lover would agree, but I would hate to put your daughter in an orphanage. I'm willing to take her under my wing." Nowaki said, nodding.
"Oh, Doc!" Yasha-san cried out, scrambling to hug the Doctor.
Nowaki hugged back warmly, knowing in his heart he was doing right. His mind kept thinking about the reactions he'd get when he told said lover. I mean, Hiroki will warm up to the idea, maybe . . . Nowaki could only hope.
"Well, tell me about your home, your lover, your life! I'd love toget to know my child's new guardian. Just to tell me she's in good hands would be fine! Oh Doc, she's the sweetest thing!" Suddenly, the woman was taken under her full emotion and bursted into tears. "I'm leaving my baby girl behin-nd!" she sobbed.
Nowaki embraced her frail, tiny frame and sighed feeling her emotion. "She'll be in good hands. The best in all Japan besides your own probably," Nowaki tried. She calmed a bit.
Nowaki began whispering parts of his past, things about his life, and best of all his lover . . .

"What's wrong Nowaki?" Hiroki asked suddenly, noticing his lover's features weren't as happy as always.
"O-one of my patients is dying and-d she has a child and n-no other relatives," Nowaki looked up and Hiroki, tears about to burst out of his gorgeous blue eyes.
"Will they be putting the kid in the orph-"
"No," Nowaki cut him off, speaking bitterly. "I offered to take her in." he added softly.
"WHAT?!" Hiroki screamed. Nowaki grabbed Hiroki's wrists.
"Hiro-san! It's been 6 years we've been together. We've lasted through everything. Her name his Hina Yasha. Her Mother said she is the most adorable thing in the world, which I protested that you are of course and-"
"You did what now?!" Hiroki screamed, dying of embarassment.
"Hiro-san, we have to take this child in! Yasha-san promised that she would never leave Hina alone! By leaving her with us, she won't necessarily be left alone! She'll have a family . . . " Nowaki's voice grew softer.
"Nowaki . . ." Hiroki murmured.
"Hina doesn't have anyone else!" he came back with more power. "Hiro-san, Yasha-san says that Hina loves reading, and writing and his the best at both in her class. She's very smart, and . . . and . . . she's only 6 and she's losing her only family Hiro-san! We have to take her in!"
"Maybe." Hiroki murmured.
The murmur was unaknowledged. "She sounds so cute, Hiro-sa-"
"MAYBE!" Hiroki shouted. "If I can meet her beforehand-"
"I'll take you to work tomorrow. Yes, we'll do that. We'll meet her tomorrow." Nowaki said, his smile placed back on his face.
"Wh-wwah?" Hiroki gawked. "You had this all planned out!" he accused. "Baka!"
"No, Hiro-san. I didn't know what to expect. All's I knew was that I was going to meet her tomorrow. Now you can too!" Nowaki chimed in.
"Ba-" Nowaki's lips crashed against his own. Hiroki melted away into the kiss, forgetting the kid, forgetting how the man kissing him was an idiot, forgetting everything . . .
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Hiro-san, getup, get up, get up!" Nowaki shouted. "Your breakfast is getting cold!"
Hiro-san barely stirred.
"Ahh, fine." Nowaki leaned down and gave his lover a kiss on the cheek, then on his forehead, then on his lips. Hiroki leaned up into the kiss, thinking it was the most beautiful awakening.
His words said the oppisite. "Nowaki, you brat! Why'd you do that?!" He screeched.
"Good morning sleeping beauty," was Nowaki's only answer, with a grin placed on his face.
"Wh-what?!" Hiroki asked, throwing a pillow at Nowaki.
Nowaki simply chuckled and exited the room.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Hiro-san hurry-up!" Nowaki demanded, he was very excited about meeting Hina.
"Nowaki, maybe you should just go. I mean your better with kids, and besides," he gulped. I can't believe I'm saying this, "What if the kid doesn't like me?"
"What do you mean?" Nowaki asked, an innocent inquiring look in his eyes.
"I'm mean, I'm not good with kids. You should know that by now . . . I'll just scare the kid."
"You will not. She'll like you." Nowaki said confidently. He leaned down to kiss his Hiro-san softly, and lovingly.
"B-but, you've never really seen the way I act with kids. I mean, I handled my kid sister(1) pretty well, but-"
Nowaki kissed him again. Hiroki could not argue with the message of that kiss. It sent butterflies through his stomache and made him wonder, Is this stage ever going to end for us?
He silently hoped the answer was "no."
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
"Yasha-san, this is Hiro-san!" Nowaki exclaimed.
The tiny woman's eyes gleamed. "Hello, Kamijou-san. Kusama-san told me all about you yesturday. It's a pleasure to meet you." She smiled and held out her weak hand. Hiroki shook in firmly and smiled back.
"Hello Yasha-san. Nowaki also told me all about you." his gaze drifted to the tall dark haired man.
"Hina, doll," she called.
A dark haired girl popped- just barely- through the door.
"Yes mother?" she asked in a little voice that sounded like bells.
She walked in through the door. Hiroki's eyes softened at the sight; Nowaki's did the same.
She had long black hair with soft brown eyes and a little face. She was very short for her age. She looked over at both of the men and smiled shyly.
"Hina, come meet my doctor and his lover," Yasha-san said softly.
Hiroi almost exploded when the kid shouted, "Yaoi!"
"Yes, honey, yaoi." Yasha-san confirmed. "This is Kusama Nowaki, and Kamijou Hiroki."
The little girl giggled at the pair. "Hello Dr. Kusama and Kamijou-san!" she giggled.
"Would you like to go with Kamijou to get some pudding. Mommy has to talk with Dr. Kusama." Yasha-san shooed the two off.
When Hiroki and Hina were outside, Hina stopped smiling. She looked at Hiroki with clouded eyes and tugged onto his shirt.
Hiroki looked down at the tortured face. The little girl's lip quivered. Hiroki bent down on both of his knees. "H-Hina, what's wrong?" he asked calmly.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to sob. Her little body trembled as tears soaked through Hiroki's shirt.
"I'm so scared for mommy!" she sobbed.
Hiroki had no idea what to do. He wasn't very could in the comforting department. He hesently wrapped his arms around her. She gripped onto his shirt tighter.
"C-c-can't Nowak-ki-san do anything?" She asked, looking up at the confused man with strained, hurt eyes.
"He's doing all he can for her Hina." he instinctively moved acouple strands of hair behind her ear.
"Kamijou-san," the little girl sobered. "When will she die?" she asked in a monotone.
"I-I don't know Hina-"
"Who will I be living with?"
"As far as I know, you'll be living with Nowaki and me." Hiroki said, very unsure with himself. "Why hasn't your mother told you, yet?"
"I don't know. I think she wanted me to meet you first, so we could become friends first. I've never had a dad," she smiled sadly. "And now I have two."
Hiroki's eyes blurred and there was an unbelieveably big lump in his throat.
"My dad left my mom when I was still in her tummy," she pointed to her stomache.
Just then Nowaki came out of the room, pain graced his features. He looked at the two and- both Hina and Nowaki- pulled on a smile.
Hiroki was in shock of this little girl.
"Oh, Hiro-san, Hina-chan," Hina giggled at Nowaki. "What's so funny?" she asked in a baby-talk voice.
"Nowaki-san's so tall." she giggled again, showing her cute teeth. Hiroki noticed that one of her incisors was missing.
She must of lost it, he thought to himself.
The next thought surprised him, she's so cute!
The only other person he's ever thought that about was Nowaki.
Hiroki decided, yeah, I might warm up to this kid.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
-----one week later------
"That's a lot of stuff for one kid." Hiroki commented.
There were acouple pink duffle-bags filled with clothes, pillows and blankets. Then there were boxes filled with books, journals, and decorative pieces of furniture. Hina walked into the apartment. She was playing nervously with her heart necklace- well, locket. Hiroki looked at the little girl and beckoned her in.
"Hina-chan!" Nowaki called throughout the house.
"Yes Kusama-san?" she answered in her bell-like voice.
"I'll lead you to your room. What color would you like to paint it? Carpet or hardwood?" Nowaki began shooting off questions.
"Haha," Hina laughed nervously. "Kusama-san, the color and hardwood are fine." Hina said, gazing at the room- enormous at the child's veiw.
Nowaki gazed down at the child. She was the cutest little child- and he's seen a lot of children. Nowaki smiled at how the simplest of things pleased her. "If you ever want to change it . . ." Nowaki said, waiting for her to tell him to paint it pink.
"Nope. It's fine." Hina said, nodding and gazing at Nowaki. "But, Kusama-san, could you put the to that corner? More away from the closet?" she asked, glancing at the door nervously.
"Of course." Nowaki nodded happily, fully understanding her fear. "Hiro-san?" he called over his shoulder.
Hiroki scampered in. "You called?"
"Yeah," Nowaki rushed over to him. "Hina's afraid of the closet and her bed is right there. We need to move it." Nowaki said in a lower voice.
Hiroki ghawked. "The bed?!" that thing was twice his size!
"Yup. Let's get to it!" Nowaki said eagerly.
"Stupid brat." Hiroki groaned as he walked towards it.
"Me?" Hina asked, tears in her eyes. What had she done? "You don't have to move the bed!" Hina protested.
"N-no, Hina, not you." Hiroki defended. "Brat," just sort of became Hiroki's 'pet name' for Nowaki.
"Well, then . . . don't fight with Kusama-san, alright?" Hina begged quietly.
Nowaki and Hiroki shared awed glances.
"Why would you think that?" Nowaki asked, slipping his arm around his lover, his love did the same.
"Grandma and Mommy used to fight all the time and grandma would call Mommy a baka for having me and tell me I was a brat . . . " she trailed off in the memories. "I just don't want you two fighting." she smiled sadly.
Hiroki and Nowaki gazed at eachother again. "See, it's not like that . . . " Hiroki started out slowly. "Nowaki and I . . ."
"I don't mean to make this awkward on your behalf, Kamijou-san . . . As long as you two don't fight, I'm fine." she smiled, closing her eyes for effect.
Hiroki was amazed at how mature that sounded. Maybe having this kid around wouldn't be bad at all.
