Kaname rubbed his eyes tiredly as he went through a new document for business deal with Takuma sitting in front of him. His huge mahogany table separated them. It had been few days after he last went home and also since few days ago, he had spent almost all his time in his office. Fortunately, his large office is provided with a small living room, a bar, bathroom for quick shower and a television.
He had never been any grateful enough.
"Kain Company?" Kaname questioned as he checked the proposal. Takuma nodded his head, signing a document before taking another.
"Yes. They wish to cooperate with our company and believe that if both of our and their companies work together, we have a better position to compete in international market. Currently, our products are one step higher in quality than theirs and the company just rose from a bankruptcy after the former CEO died, it shows that they are quite good in the hand of the new CEO."
"And who could it be?" Kaname titled his eyes to meet with the greens'. Takuma smiled.
"Akatsuki Kain. The former CEO's only child."
Kaname was silence for a moment and before he has the chance to ask further about the new CEO, a ringing tone interrupted them. Takuma grinned sheepishly and muttered a small apologize before answering his cell phone.
"Hello, Senri, what's wrong?"
Kaname looked down at his papers, acting like he was checking it while listening to Takuma. When he raised his head up again, he saw the blonde's face scrunched with a small frown and worry.
"Send me the address by message, okay? I'll come to pick you up… Yes, don't worry. You are not interrupting me… Yes, I'll come to pick you up, Senri. Stop worrying. Bye." The blonde ended up the call with a small sigh and looked at the taller brunette.
"Umm… Kaname, I have to take a short leave. Now." Kaname blinked looking at the blonde man who looks worried. His partner of the company smiled awkwardly at the confused look.
"Senri accidentally fell from the stairs at his working place during his last photograph session… I need to go to the hospital now to pick him up."
By the mention of the redhead model, Kaname smiled slightly. The blonde looks worried enough and he does not want his best friend to be here while his boyfriend needed him. The brunette nodded his head and Takuma replied with his own appreciating smile before gathering his personal stuff and take his leave.
Rubbing his temple with his fingers, Kaname sighed and continued to do his work alone.
"Room 511, level 3A." Takuma repeated the number of his lover's ward as he leaned against the wall of a lift he is occupying now. He let out a small sigh and shook his head.
How can Senri be so careless?
When he heard the sound 'Ting', the lift is opened and he quickly made his way out. Checking on door by door, the blonde walked through the hallway of the private hospital. When he finally found the room, the stopped in front of the door and stared at the white coloured door.
Reaching out his hand to open the door, he was suddenly greeted by a voice not far from him.
"Ichijou-san?"
Takuma blinked his eyes and turned to his right when another blonde, taller than him, approaching him with a bottle of mineral water and a beautiful woman followed him from behind. Smiling once he realized the individual, Takuma released the handle of the door and greeted him back in return.
"Kain-san! What are you doing here?" the blonde with amber eyes smiled, titling his head towards the room that Takuma were about to enter.
"My lover is in that room. He got into an accident last week… and if I'm not mistaken, were you about to enter it just now?"
Takuma blinked once again, repeating the same address in his head.
"Yes… and my boyfriend just being submitted here. The nurse at the counter gave me this room number. I think she got it wrong, sorry." The green eyed blonde chuckled and the silver haired woman beside Kain smiled at him.
"Well, do you want to come in first, dear?" Shizuka offered as she opened the door slightly.
Takuma gave a small thought over it before shaking his head.
"I think maybe next time. My boyfriend is waiting. Thank you anyway, Madam." Smiling, Takuma bowed his head as a gesture of his appreciation. Shizuka just smiled and entered the room by herself. The taller blonde also smiled.
"Well, let me company you and we can have a short talk on our business deal." Kain suggested and Takuma nodded his head in agreement.
"That will be great, Kain-san."
"Umm… Kuran-san? Don't you want to rest first? You look quite pale…" Yuuki murmured softly as she placed Zero's belongings – textbooks, pictures used to be pinned on his locker's door and others- on Kaname's table. She was at first, wanted to visit Kaname at his place but decided to call him first. The older brunette had gently requested her to come to his company building instead.
Kaname smiled with his closed eyes, shaking his head slightly.
"No need for that. I still got a lot of work to do."
Yuuki bites her lips and smiled awkwardly before reaching out and patted the older brunette's left cheek softly.
"Don't overwork yourself, Kuran-san… Zero will not like it." Her last sentence was spoken with a gentler tone. Kaname silently hold on her hand, pulling it away as careful as he could, to not hurt her feeling.
"…he's not here anymore, Yuuki."
Yuuki's eyes widened in surprised at his answer but then, looking away with a small sad smile.
"All right, then… I should get going now. Take care, Kuran-san." The brunette girl nodded her head before taking her leave, Kaname watched as the girl closed the door and turned to look at the things that she had brought with her.
There are books, notes and pictures of Zero with his friends and two pieces of Kaname alone. One shows Kaname working in his office and one, Kaname dozing off under a shade of a tree. But the only thing that managed to get his best attention is a familiar silvery white butterfly hair clip.
Letting a small, heartbreaking smile appeared on his face, he picked up the hair clip and pressed his lips gently against one of the wings.
It smells like Zero. It smells of Zero's hair and his unique scent.
Kaname placed the butterfly hair clip on his left side of the table, in front of the picture frame of his dead lover. He smiled at the sight and turned back to return to his work.
"Are you okay?" Takuma asked with concern as he checked on his lover's bandaged temple. Senri tilted his head a bit to a side, giving the blonde the accurate part of his head that had been wounded.
"I'm fine. Just hurt my head. At least now I got a week of day off." The redhead gave a small smile and Takuma sighed.
"Well. Somehow, you getting a week holiday because you are hurting does not makes me happy."
Kain smiled at the interaction of the love birds, standing in front of the door with his left shoulder leaning against the door frame. Suddenly, his cell phone rang and the taller blonde quickly answered the call once he noticed the identity of the caller.
"Auntie, what is it? Is something-" his amber eyes widened at the news he was listening to. He turned to the confused couple who are now looking at his way and turned off the call without a second thought.
His whole body is trembling with anticipation.
"I'm sorry but I got to go now, Ichijou-san. I hope you will get well soon, Shiki-san."
With the simple farewell, he walks as fast as he could to return back to his lover's ward.
Shizuka stands by the bedside, gently touching her son's face when a certain blonde made his appearance.
"Are you sure he moved his hand just now?" Kain questioned almost unbelievably as he approaching the unconscious silver haired man. Shizuka nodded her head, her face is nothing but serious. Gulping down his anxiousness, Kain took her place beside the bed and watched as the pale face scrunching slightly as in pain before a pair of similar lilac eyes greeting their sights.
Shizuka gasped in surprised and Kain feels his whole body panicking, not sure what to do but when a small, hoarse whisper of 'Wa-water…' reached their hearings, Shizuka quickly pour down a glass of mineral water and gave it to the blonde.
Kain carefully helped the now awake silver haired man into a half sitting position, cradling the back of his head with his right hand while his left hand helping him to take small sips of water; making sure not to choke him.
Shizuka in the other hand had pressed the red button to call for doctor.
Once the youngest in the room had his fill, Kain placed him back on his laying position, staring down at him and wait for another reaction.
"Umm… who are you?" the quite, small voice almost breaks Kain's heart by listening to his question. The doctors' assumption had been correct. With a small smile, Kain continued to look at him, already knowing the question that will coming up next.
The younger man looks troubled for a moment as their eyes locked; his lilacs filled with confusion.
"…and…and who am I?"
TBC.
