Chapter 4: The father of the child
"I can't go there…" the boy whispered towards the two Kotodama users that were trying to pull him out of the bureau.
"You have to!" Yamato said, now walking behind the boy and grabbing him around his middle to lift him up.
"No! Don't! The baby!" the blonde screamed when he felt how the strong arms of Yamato were pushing hard on his abdomen. His slender fingers slid in between the strong arms and his own belly.
Another hand was placed on Yamato's arm. Waki shook his head slowly towards Yamato.
"He's right. Let him go, you're only damaging the baby." he said. Yamato released Ayase with a sigh and the blonde took this chance to run towards the corner in the distance. Not that the bureau was that big, but he felt safer, away from the Kotodama's.
The blonde sat down, grabbing his knees tightly and groaning at the hungry feeling in his abdomen.
"We can get Kanou-kun to come here. If you won't tell, we will." Waki said. The blonde looked up with his cute look, trying to persuade the two others of not doing that but they both ignored it.
"But… I can't tell. He'll think I'm strange. I think I'm strange!" he said.
"Everyone thinks you're strange right now." Yamato said but received a hard slap against his arm right after from Waki. The blonde sighed deeply, placing his head in between his legs and his belly softly grumbled.
"Ayase…" Waki sighed, slowly moving towards the boy, prepared for any sudden movement and placed himself next to his Kami. When he realised the boy wouldn't move, he placed his arm around him. Yamato approached slowly.
"Don't worry so much… what makes you think Kanou would mind it?" Waki asked. Ayase now looked up.
"You kidding?" he asked, staring at the man bewildered. He slapped the hand from his shoulder and stood up, walking away from the two others.
"You think he won't mind it? Waki-san… I'm a Kami. I'm a boy. I'm pregnant! It doesn't make sense!" he screamed.
"Aya-chan… relax!" Yamato suddenly yelled back, which made the boy take a step back. The Kotodama's eyes were slowly changing colour.
"What makes you…" he sighed deeply in his hand; closing his eyes. "Kanou-san won't kill you. He likes you." the last sentence wasn't really audible because of the soft voice Yamato tried to keep. He reopened his eyes and let the green colour stare towards the blue one.
"I know… we all know that. If he was only out for sex then he wouldn't have gotten here in such a panicked hurry." he proceeded. Waki nodded.
"True. When Yamaguchi and Someya took you to my working room he asked me if you would die. I sensed fear in his eyes. He was worried. He was scared even. Scared of losing a Kami he had just met. I'm sure he regrets everything and the baby you carry… he won't mind that. Trust me." Waki helped the other Kotodama user.
"In other words… Kanou loves you too much to mind that. In fact… he'll love the idea of having a baby with you. I'm sure about that. I would love the idea. You'd be a perfect mother. You will be a perfect mother." Yamato said. The blonde felt warm inside and blushed fiercely. He smiled kindly towards the men who said those words.
"You really think so?" he asked calmly. Yamato smiled widely; proud of being able to satisfy the boy.
"I know so." he replied and winked. The blonde stared towards his father and friend and realised the hunger disappeared. Maybe the baby made clear that he should feel good at that moment. Not hungry, angry, tired or anything else. Just good. The blonde nodded, placing a hand on his abdomen, when a knock came on the door.
The three persons in the room turned towards the talking voice on the other side of the door.
"Ayase? Are you all right?" Kanou's voice asked and the moment Ayase heard the other's voice, he felt warm inside. He smiled a bit, opening the door. The man had a worried expression on his face, which became worse when the boy only smiled towards him.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" he asked. The blonde simply nodded and gave a look towards Yamato and Waki; who both nodded towards him.
"I need to talk to you." the boy said and Waki now stood back up.
"Take your time. We'll be in the living room." he said and showed Yamato a sign to follow him. Yamato nodded briefly and gave one last look towards Ayase.
"Wait a second." he said and he walked towards Kanou now. Kanou stared into the green eyes. Yamato smiled a bit and nodded.
"I hope you realise you're one lucky bastard." he said. Kanou raised his eyebrows.
"Thank you?" he tried and Yamato smiled fully.
"Yes, that was a compliment. But not towards you." Yamato widened his eyes towards the blonde and winked again. Waki grinned loudly, proud at Yamato for doing that while staying calm and he then left the room, giving his Kami a kind smile.
Ayase sighed deeply, looking towards Kanou, who now looked back. This person would actually be a good father, would he? Anyway, there was no turning back now. He had to tell.
"So… why am I a lucky bastard?" Kanou asked, breaking the silence. Ayase chuckled lightly.
"I'm not sick. I'm fine." he said. Kanou smiled at that.
"I'm glad to hear that." he replied.
"But something did happen, Kanou-san." Kanou's smile disappeared.
"Something bad?" he asked.
"I don't know." the blonde replied. "But I think it's best if you sit down; because I'm sure it'll shock you as much as it shocked me." Kanou sighed deeply.
"I hate when you talk in riddles…" he said, placing himself onto Waki's desk and staring towards the boy. "…there, I'm sitting. What's wrong?" he asked once more.
The blonde smiled shaking his head.
"Nothing's wrong, Kanou-san. We discovered your special Kotodama power." the blonde said. Kanou stared deep into the blue eyes.
"How?" he asked. Ayase giggled, remembering how much he asked that towards Waki only a few minutes ago. The man in front of him must really feel eager to hear more.
"Well… we think you can create life with any being." he said, placing himself next to the man along the sentence. Kanou raised an eyebrow; placing his hand behind the boy, and leaning closer towards him.
"I knew that. I can create life with any woman." he said proudly and he smiled at that. Ayase shook his head, placing his head on the man's shoulder.
"Pervert." he whispered. Kanou now laughed a bit, placing a kiss on top of the blonde's head. The blonde then sat back up and proceeded:
"What we mean is that you can also create life with other beings." Kanou looked confused and the boy quickly continued: "Also with men." he said. A wrinkle appeared next to Kanou's nose and he looked disgusted. The boy chuckled again.
"I mean… also with… me." the look on Kanou's face changed. He looked stunned; his eyes quickly looking from Ayase's one eye to the other.
"What do you mean?" he asked in a whisper and for one moment Ayase noticed the other's eyes slip to his abdomen. The boy nodded slowly; starting to feel worried for the man did not show a happy face.
"I'm pregnant, Kanou-san." he whispered back, taking the other's hand. Kanou's lips slowly curled into a disbelieving smile.
"You're serious aren't you?" he asked. Ayase nodded. Kanou placed a hand in front of his mouth for one second and let the other pinch the slender fingers.
"You're carrying my baby?" he asked, his face now full of joy, which made Ayase wonder it was because of what happened or because he seemed to think that Ayase wasn't telling the truth.
"Yes, Kanou-san. I am carrying your baby." he said. Kanou stood up now, placing his hands fully on his face and walking towards the other side of the room.
The blonde felt a weird pain in his chest. The man didn't like it… of course he didn't! He never wanted his Kami-san to become pregnant of him! He only wanted a Kami for healing!
"U-uhm…" the boy's voice trembled. "I'm sorry…" he whispered. "I'm sure Waki can remove the baby. You don't have to worry."
Kanou now turned around, removing his hands and Ayase noticed his face was gloating. The man shook his head.
"You're not serious, are you? You want to remove the baby?" he asked. Ayase looked stunned.
"W… I- if you don't want it then…" Kanou now laughed a bit. Ayase felt shocked at the man's laugh.
"I don't want it?" Kanou repeated. "What makes you think I don't want it?" he asked and his happy face did not disappear.
"Well… you- I'm a… Kami and you…" the boy tried but ended with a sigh; totally confused.
"Ayase…" the man said, walking towards the boy and hugging him close. When he released him, the dark eyes were so close to the blue ones; Ayase thought he could disappear in them.
"I never wanted anything more then this baby with you." the man whispered. The blonde blushed again. "I love you." the man said proudly and the blonde felt another strange feeling inside.
"You love me?" the boy whispered back. The man nodded, stroking the golden hair of the boy.
"I do." he said and he placed his other hand on the blonde's abdomen. "And love our baby just as much…" he continued. Ayase smiled; feeling happy and flustered at the same time. Somehow he always knew that Kanou did love him, though he never wanted to accept that and always tried to push that thought away, deep down he knew it was the truth. He had no idea why but he simply replied:
"I love you too." and he wasn't lying. He knew he wasn't lying because the feeling he had when the man then pressed his lips against his was great. Wonderful. Perfect. Everything.
His belly suddenly growled and the kiss stopped. They both laughed now.
"I think the baby's hungry." he said and Kanou grinned proudly.
"Then we shouldn't let the baby wait any longer." he replied and he again pressed a soft kiss on the other's lips. "Lets go eat something."
They both sat down on the dining table. Someya placing an extra plate in front of the boy and she glanced from the blue eyes to the still flat abdomen. Her eyes were glistering and she smiled kindly when the boy looked up towards her.
Kanou sat closer to Ayase when Gion placed himself on the other side of his angel. The blonde man gave Kanou an angry look, which Kanou ignored fully and he placed his arm around his pregnant boy.
Ayase blushed fiercely; staring from Kanou to Gion and he simply smiled, placing his hands around his belly, trying to stop it from growling.
Waki; who sat opposite of the boy, noticed that and smiled.
"Dinner's almost ready." he said. "Just wait a bit longer." his eyes widened to Yamato, who sat next to him and Yamaguchi was typing rather fast on his laptop, next to Yamato.
"Can't you continue that later?" Yamato asked in a whisper. Yamaguchi didn't widen his eyes from the screen and simply shook his head. Yamato sighed deeply.
"Aya-chan! Can you help me carrying the plates towards the table?" Someya yelled from the kitchen, realising too late that the boy should better sit down in his condition.
The blonde looked up. "I'm coming!" he yelled and he gave Kanou another look. The man smiled wonderfully. He never looked as happy as he did there. The blonde smiled back.
"Don't worry, I won't carry too much." he said and he placed a kiss on his cheek. The man released him; coughing a little with his hand in front of his mouth to hide the little blush. The blonde ran to the kitchen.
Gion stared towards Kanou as Waki started to talk with Yamato and Yamaguchi only had interest for his laptop. Kanou slowly looked back.
"Your not planning on attacking me now that he's pregnant, are you?" he asked sarcastically. Gion smiled wickedly and shook his head.
"Why? Afraid of losing again?" he asked. Kanou searched for a reply but since he couldn't find one he quickly took a gulp of the red wine in front of him.
"No." he then said and he smiled. "I at least have a decent Kami to heal me." he replied. Gion now beat his hand on the table and stood up. Waki and Yamato turned towards him and Yamaguchi finally looked up.
"Don't you dare insult my lady." Gion said and his hair started to darken. Kanou now stood up too, taking another large gulp and smiling.
"Lady?" he said and his eyes turned red. "Isn't he a dude?" he asked. Gion's eyes changed colour too. Waki then stood up.
"ENGOUH!" he said loudly. "Can't you two just stop it?" he said. Gion stared towards the other blonde and sat back down.
"He's right. I'm not giving anymore words to that jackass." he said. Kanou shook his head and bit his tongue; making sure he wouldn't say anything back for he did not want Ayase to see him fighting… again. He sat back down and nodded towards Waki.
Waki seemed stunned as he placed himself in the chair too, thinking for once that Kanou was the most decent of the two. Kanou stared towards the kitchen now. Where was his boy anyway?
The blonde step into the kitchen.
"Someya-san? What should I do?" he asked and the black haired Kami turned around.
"Take these plates, but be careful not to burn yourself!" she said. Ayase smiled and sniffed in the wonderful smell.
"Hmm…" he hummed. "Smells delicious." and his baby couldn't suppress releasing a growl inside of his belly. Someya smiled faintly.
"You sure you want that baby… it binds you to Kanou-san forever." she said. The blonde looked towards his friend.
"Yes, I do. Anyway, I'm bound to Kanou-san until he's dead. I'm his Kami." he replied certain.
"Ayase, we're talking about a child here. Have you ever imagined someone like Kanou as a father? If he can't even control his Kotodama towards you; what makes you think he can towards his child?" she said worriedly. Ayase gave her an angry look.
"He would never hurt his child! He's really happy with me being pregnant!" he yelled and he felt a rage running through his body. He then decided to calm down and took a few breaths. "Anyway… he's going to learn to control it. He promised."
"Ayase…" the black haired started.
"Don't!" the boy interrupted. "I want this child. He wants it. We want it. I don't care what you want." the boy turned around and walked towards the dining room; feeling guilty right after.
He was never this mean before. He always loved it when Someya gave him some advice. Of course he cared what his best friend thought of it but somehow he thought differently now. He placed his hand on his abdomen and walked faster. He then realised he was still hungry.
Kanou smiled when the boy appeared out of the kitchen but noticed by the look of his face that something had happened he wasn't really pleased with. The blonde sat down, quickly followed by Someya; who sat down next to Gion.
"Please eat as much as you can." Someya said, not daring to give Ayase a look. She took a bowl of rice and handed it to Gion, to replace her mind.
The blonde sighed, which made Kanou look at him in a worry.
"What's wrong?" the man asked in a whisper. The boy shook his head and forced a smile on his face.
"Nothing. I'm just hungry." he said as he thought of Someya's words. What if Kanou would hurt the baby? What if he was unable to control his Kotodama? That would make everything dangerous.
Ayase felt how a large hand was placed onto his leg and he quickly grabbed for a bowl as he realised it was Kanou's hot hand.
"Itadakimasu." he said and Kanou followed his example with a smile. The rest of the table also gave a reply. Only Yamaguchi was focused on his laptop.
The boy had eaten at least five bowls that were standing on the table and were now fully empty. He leaned back in the chair as he noticed how Waki and Gion were discussing at what the best part of the meal was. Someya stared flustered towards the two Kotodama users, feeling rather happy at how her dinner was liked.
Yamato tried to close down the laptop with a playful smile on his face and Yamaguchi smiled back towards his Kotodama user, quickly placing a kiss on the boy's nose, which made Yamato flinch away with a small blush on his face.
The blonde smiled happily, feeling how the hand on his leg softly pinched. He quickly turned towards Kanou, whose most dazzling smile reappeared now and made Ayase lose all his doubts.
"You all right?" the man asked. The blonde nodded, placing a hand on his abdomen.
"I am." he replied, feeling grateful because of the man's worries and they stared into each other's eyes.
"So, Kanou-kun." Waki said and the eye-contact was broken. The blonde Kotodama user smiled, silencing whole the table and everyone now listened in full attention. "I think it's best for the two of you to stay here this night. It's already twelve and you drank a few glasses of wine. I don't want anything to happen. Especially now." he said. The blonde boy smiled and Kanou nodded.
"I think it's a great idea." Kanou said and the blonde looked up, never expecting his master to say 'yes' this easily. He gratefully placed his hand over the one on his leg and released a soft chuckle before nodding also.
"One problem, Waki." Yamato said and now all the attention turned to him. "We don't have anymore beds."
"We can sleep on the couch." the blonde boy said.
"No!" Someya burst out suddenly. "That's pretty bad for both you and the baby." she whispered after.
"Gion and I will sleep on the couch. You can have our room." Gion stared towards his Kami in a shock. He didn't mind Ayase sleeping in his bed but the other person… and who knows what they'll do. The man trembled at that thought but nodded when his Kami gave him an adorable look.
"Fine." he said. "You can have our room." he then stared towards the table. Someya's eyes widened from Gion to Ayase and she smiled carefully. The blonde smiled back mouthing an apology. Someya looked stunned but shook her head and then turned to thank her man.
That made Ayase feel better because now the smile reappeared Kanou had noticed before. The blonde suddenly yawned, which made Kanou smile back.
"I think we'll retreated to… your room." he said towards Someya and the blonde looked up.
"I don't want to go to bed." he said.
"You should, Ayase-kun." Waki replied. "It's already midnight. We'll see you when you wake up. Have a good rest."
Kanou stood up, which Ayase took as a sign to follow. As the blonde ran to give Someya a hug the other Kami smiled.
"I really am sorry." the boy whispered and Someya simply giggled. She placed a kiss on the boy's cheek.
"Don't worry about it… just go to sleep." she said. Ayase smiled, now saying a good night to the rest and stepping back towards Kanou.
"Thank you for the dinner." the man said towards Someya. "I liked it." he coughed lightly after that, not believing he actually thanked someone, but his angel being pregnant made his mood indestructible.
The woman smiled gratefully towards him and Gion now looked up, stunned too.
"I'm sorry about before." he now said towards Gion and it became a little too much. He even apologized towards somebody he didn't like. Something really was changing his mood.
"No problem…" the man whispered back. "Me too." Gion then stared towards Ayase and smiled.
"Congratulations." Gion proceeded. "Both of you." he said and he stared from the small boy to the bigger man. Ayase smiled.
"Thank you." he said and now Kanou took his hand.
"Lets go. Good night." the man could bite his tongue off now. He never wished anyone good night and now he did it to room from which half of the people he didn't even like! What the hell was going on?
The boy pinched his master's hand and smiled before they both left the room. Someya smiled towards the now closed door.
"Strangely enough… I'm starting to like him." she said. Gion smiled towards her.
"Because he likes your food?" he asked ironically.
"No! Because he's friendly." she replied and Gion smiled.
"Lets hope he stays friendly then."
The blonde opened the door of Someya and Gion's room, quickly followed by Kanou, who put on the lights. His face looked stunned at the sight of the room and his attention fell on the fox masks again.
"What's with these masks anyway?" he asked towards the blonde. Ayase looked up and stared towards the same mask as his master.
"It's said to keep away bad spirits." he said. Kanou raised an eyebrow at that but nodded.
"Yeah, it's scaring the shit out of me too." he said. "The house is fucking full of them." The blonde shook his head and sighed, which made Kanou look towards him now.
"Can you ever formulate a sentence that doesn't contain any swear-words?" the blonde asked.
"Yes." the man said proudly and smiled at the joke he had just made. The blonde shook his head again.
"A sentence that doesn't contain any swear-words and has more than one word?" he said specifically.
"I do." Kanou now said, which made the blonde laugh.
"You're unbelievable." the boy said.
"So are you." the man replied with serious face as he approached the boy. Ayase swallowed deeply as Kanou placed a hand around his waist.
"You're enlarging your sentences…" the blonde whispered. "That's a good start." the man smiled as he let his lips approach the blonde's
"I love you, Ayase." he said and Ayase blushed while smiling.
"A name doesn't count." he said and Kanou now laughed.
"Can I kiss you?" he asked. The boy smiled flustered.
"You can." he replied and they both smiled before their lips were fully pressed against each other, spreading heat.
When they parted they dressed quickly, placing themselves into the bed and fell asleep in each other's presence. Feeling safe, wanted and happy. Feeling like a family. And a family is what they both were looking for.
There you go. Hope you liked it! :D
