Chapter 6
Manami, Takahiro, and Mahiro had gone up to bed awhile ago. I awoke around 1 am. Noticing my love was starting to get out of bed. I didn't want to be alone, no I didn't like to be alone. Usagi knew this, so he scooped me into his big arms wrapping me in a blanket. I sigh in relief and snuggle up to his strong, warm chest. Soon I found myself sitting on his lap resting tiredly. We were on the terrace of the big apartment. Usagi needed a smoke especially from the recent events. The familiar smell of Usagi and the cigarettes put me back to sleep. Usagi smiled feeling my breathing evening out after he had just lit his cigarette. Placing a kiss on my forehead and I finally gave in and now drifted peacefully to sleep.
Takahiro was uneasy through the night. Unable to get much sleep he soon going himself getting out of bed. Not realizing that he had awoken a concerned Manami from the shift in the bed. Takahiro made his way downstairs to get a little air. Reaching the bottom of the stairs he found Usagi outside smoking. Noticing a bundle on his shoulder. It looked to be brown hair. Finally Takahiro could make out that it was I, his precious little brother wrapped in a blanket and snuggled up to Usagi.
Takahiro's POV
I wanted to be mad. Seeing Usagi holding my dear little brother. I wanted to go grab him and carry him home. Though I had a feeling that I would not be allowed to do that, or that it would be wise. But then seeing Misaki so peaceful, I remembered when Misaki was young after our parents died. The nightmares that took place, that peaceful look he had when I slept with him to subside the night terrors. I decided that I would be angry in the morning, once Misaki was rested. I sat on the couch I want to quietly chat with Usagi on his way in from his smoke break. I wasn't angry at the relationship right now, though I was a little pissed that he was smoking with Misaki on his lap.
Usagi's POV
I sat on the terrace, holding my precious Misaki. Smoking my troubles away. Misaki was snuggled up to my chest. I love him with my heart, I enjoyed being selfish and having him all to myself. I was glad that Misaki was starting to be a little selfish to. He deserves to be spoiled, and that's what I planned on doing. I rubbed his back soothingly, on which I hear sigh of relief. Misaki was smaller than me, but he was all mine. I finished my cigarette and decided it was time to go back to bed. I felt tired, scooping Misaki in my arms I quietly open the terrace door
, sliding the door closed. I see Takahiro sitting on the couch and I stop in my tracks.
" Takahiro I didn't expect you to be up at this hour." I state holding a slumbering Misaki in my arms.
"I didn't expect you to be up either, enjoy your smoke?" Takahiro asks with bitterness lining his voice.
"Why yes I did, has my smoking upset you?" I ask thinking I already know the answer.
"Actually Yes it has, usually I don't mind it. However you exposed Misaki to it. Second hand smoking is worse than smoking the actual cigarette! You could've just smoked outside by yourself!" Takahiro raising his voice as he can quietly contain.
"Misaki can't sleep when left alone, you should know that. I also don't like leaving him out of my sight. Plus he apparently enjoys the smell it sent him right to sleep." I stated to Takahiro's surprise. Takahiro decided to drop the subject of smoking for the night.
"Takahiro I know you're not comfortable with is" as I finished that sentence I looks at a slumbering Misaki."but I love him...and one day, hopefully with your approval I want to Marry him" I mumble. Takahiro is shocked.
"Let's talk about it in the morning" Takahiro says over his shoulder as he walks but up to his room.
I carry Misaki back to our room and lay him down first. Then I lay beside him I wrap my arms around him before I pull him into my chest he moves slightly opening his eyes.
"Usagi-san?" Misaki asks quietly.
"I'm right here, you should go back to sleep" I caress his cheek with my right hand.
"Mm. Okay...but when you're ready to ask me I'll always say I do." Misaki mumbles as snuggles into my chest "I love..." before he could finish Misaki fell quietly asleep. My eyes were wide with shock. A single happy tear rolled down my cheek. I was overflowing with happiness.
"Misaki I love you too." I quietly state as I drift to sleep holding Misaki against my chest and in my arms.
