Chapter 15

Twenty Minutes Earlier….

Kirishima began to stir when he felt movement on his chest and immediately his arm lazily wrapped around whoever it was laying atop of him. He opened his eyes, expecting to see a head of long hair laying on his chest, but instead was confused to see short black hair. When he realized that the naked body lying on top of him was Feilong, memories from the night before quickly came back to him. What have I done? The man let out a long sigh, raising his free hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. He was freaking out inside. Asami-Sama is going to kill me.

A smile tugged on the man's lips involuntarily as Fei nuzzled into his chest, still fast asleep. The longer he laid there, watching the sleeping Baishe leader, the more accepting he grew of the situation. He's actually kind of cute when he's asleep. Probably because he's not speaking.

He laid there for a few minutes, just watching until finally Fei's eyes began to blink open, brown eyes looking around the room in confusion before memory seemed to come back to the Chinese man. Their eyes locked and a smirk slowly made its way onto Fei's face, the man sitting up and beginning to stretch.

"Good morning!~ How long have you been awake and staring?~"

"….Not long."

"Mmm….I'm sore." Fei complained as he laid back, rolling over so he was quite literally on top of Kirishima, lying on his stomach as he faced the man. Though he was a bit heavy, Kirishima supposed he didn't mind Fei laying atop him; it was kind of comfortable.

"I suppose you would be."

"After last night, definitely. You know, I knew you were experienced but I didn't realize you were into…all that!~ But you know what they always say, it's always the quiet ones that surprise you!~"

"Be quiet, Fei." Kirishima grumbled, rolling his eyes.

Fei's smirk turned into a big grin, "Then give me a reason to be quiet." He challenged, leaning forward and pressing his lips against Kei's.

"Weren't you just saying you're sore?" Kirishima murmured against his lips, already feeling arousal come over him. Fuck….

"Well, then we'll just have to switch things up a bit, wont we?"

"What's wrong? Is everything oka-…Oh god." Asami reached around and covered Aki's eyes immediately when he saw the…spectacle going on in front of them. Never in his years did the crimelord ever want to see Feilong giving his best friend a blowjob, yet here they were. This is why we knock, Kitten.

"Boss! I-Uh…I-"

"Kirishima, just what is going on here?" Asami asked, scarily calm. Kei, what are you thinking?! There is no way this is good for business!

"What does it look like? Now get out unless you plan on watching!" Fei snapped, turning back to glare at the two intruders.

"You have ten minutes, Kirishima." He warned as he directed Akihito out of the guest house, being careful not to let his Kitten run into anything. Once they were safely back outside, he let his hands fall away from Akihito's eyes, giving the photographer his sight back.

"I can't unsee what I just saw." The boy groaned, catching the attention of those who had arrived for their planned outdoor breakfast. Everyone was already sitting at their seats around the grass table on the back patio, wearing their swimsuits. All their drinks were already set on the table, and Kiyomi was having a good time drinking her orange juice while watching cartoons on her tablet.

Mayuri leaned forward across the table, very interested. "What did you just see?~ What were they doing in there?~"

Before Akihito could say anything, Asami spoke. "Don't worry about it. I would rather just erase it from memory, actually."

"Then I'll just have to go and see for myself!~" Mayuri started to hop up when Suoh grabbed his shirt, pulling him back.

"It's none of our business, Mayuri."

"Awww! But I wanna seeeeee!~"

"Mayuri, I have to work with him. I don't want to know what he does in bed." The blue haired designer went into pout mode, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Come on! Who knows when a chance like this will arrive again for me to get serious blackmail on Kei?!"

Suoh rolled his eyes, shaking his head. There was no telling Mayuri no, but there was distracting him. His guard seemed to be thinking the same thing as he pulled the smaller man into his lap and kissed him. That was all it took to pull Mayuri's attention away from peeping in and taking photos of Kirishima and Fei. Thank god Kiyomi has in earbuds…

Haruka walked out of the house right about this time, carrying a large tray with their breakfast on it. She set a plate down I front of each person, including the two empty seats that would soon be filled by the missing two.

"Wow! This smells so good Haruka! Thank you for going through the trouble for us!" Akihito chirped as he licked his lips, already going for his chopsticks.

"It's no trouble, Akihito. Just please enjoy and relax. It's a beautiful morning." She said sweetly before heading back inside to continue her morning routine.

It was a silent agreement between them not to bother waiting for the other two to arrive, everyone going ahead and digging into their meal. As Asami took a few bites, he observed everyone around him. With Suoh feeding Mayuri, the boy seemed pretty content and sated. He didn't look like he was still upset over the night before, but with Mayuri that didn't mean anything as he was known to be rather skilled at hiding his emotions. Akihito was almost moaning with each bite, the little foodie clearly enjoying the meal Haruka had prepared. If they hadn't been around a child he would have pulled Akihito out of his seat and ravished him because of those erotic sounds. They were delicious, like candy for his ears. Amusement was found when his eyes moved to the little girl who still had her eyes trained on the tablet screen, almost missing each bite she tried to shovel into her mouth. It was too cute.

Kirishima and Fei emerged from the guest house, fully dressed and so collected that he would have believed what they just witnessed hadn't just happened had he not seen it for his own eyes. They took their seats beside one another and immediately an awkward atmosphere was felt between everyone. Asami stared his secretary down, showing his clear displeasure for what they decided to do. He pretended not to notice as they both began eating.

The moment everyone finished with breakfast, Kiyomi jumped up from the table and grabbed the two people nearest to her, Fei and Aki, and started pulling them towards the pool house. "C'mon guys! Swimming! I wanna swim!"

"You guys go ahead, Kirishima and I will join you in a few." Asami called out as everyone else followed after the bouncy little girl. Once they were in the pool house, he focused all of his attention on the stoic man in front of him. "Now, Kirishima. What were you thinking?"

"….Sir, it just happened." Oh you've got to be kidding me! That idiotic imbecile…

"Kirishima, this isn't something that just happens. Fei isn't some no class whore you pick up on the side of the rode, he's the Baishe leader. He isn't someone you can just toss to the side. So you need to fix this. Either you decide to be with him, or that was the only time you hook up. Because the moment this causes me problems I have a mind to send you to warehouse five." Asami threatened, gaze completely serious. Kei stiffened at the mention of warehouse give, the secretary knowing full well what went down in that infamous place.

"Y-Yes sir…I'll figure it out."

"You best. Fei and I have finally come to doing business together and I would be most displeased if that were to get ruined because of your inability to handle this situation. You understand?" Kirishima nodded quickly. "Good, now let's go join the others."

Asami walked down the stone path leading to the pool house, knowing that the other was somewhere behind him. He would have the same conversation with Fei before everyone left, because if those two ended up together and something happen, he wanted nothing to do with it. The businessman wanted to be left out their disputes. From just outside he could hear the squeals and laughter coming from the pool house, lifting his mood a bit. He hoped Akihito didn't overtire, because once Asami got everyone to go home there were more important plans for their night.

Asami led the guests into the dining room where their food was already sitting in wait. After making sure they were sat down and comfortable, he excused himself and headed up the stairs to retrieve his lover and daughter. He knocked on the brightly painted door that belonged to Kiyomi.

"Princess, it's time for dinner. Let's go get your mother together and head down." Asami said through the door before pushing it open, seeing his little girl on the bed, putting a tiara on the puppy's head.

"Okay Daddy! Just one second!" She fixed the tiara on with a string so it wouldn't fall off, grinning. "There we go! I'm ready!" Kiyomi chirped as she slid off the bed and ran over to him.

After finding Akihito out on the balcony and informing him about dinner, they loaded into the elevator together. Asami kept glancing out of the corner of his eye over to his lover, taking notice that the photographer looked tired. He hoped that Aki would hurry and get better….Asami missed his energetic little Kitten. I hope this isn't all too much for him so soon… Asami thought to himself, worried that this sudden decision of his was a little much only a day after Aki coming home.

"I had Haruka make your favorites for dinner." Asami informed the smaller man as they exited the elevator and headed to the dining room. Haruka had asked him many questions about Akihito before he came home; mostly about the things he liked. Now she was excited to make all of his favorite dishes, though Asami had stressed that keeping Akihito in good health was their first priority, so sweets and fatty meats couldn't be the main part of his diet.

"Oooo!~ So lots of meat?~"

"Seaweed salad as well." Kiyomi made a disgusted face and stuck her tongue out.

"Yuck! Seaweed salad is not yummy at all!" She exclaimed dramatically.

"Perhaps the ones you've eaten, but if it's made right it's very delicious." An older, feminine voice spoke from the table.

Asami watched as his boy's head snapped in the direction of the voice, happy surprise filling his face. Seeing this reaction made the crimelord's lips quirk up into a pleased smirk. Akihito took off over to the older couple, wrapping his arms around them after they stood up in a little group hug. How cute.

"Obaachan! Ojiisan! What are you doing here?!"

"Asami-san told us you were out of the hospital and invited us over for dinner so we could see you! He's been the only one keeping us informed of what's been going on." Sanae (Akihito's grandmother) scolded.

Blue eyes turned to him accusingly. "Asami! You told my grandparents?!"

"Of course I did, they're your family. Was I not supposed to?"

"Of course you were supposed to! Actually you, Akihito, were supposed to! Why didn't you call us over such a serious matter?" The woman still held that scolding tone.

Tadanari (Akihito's grandfather) put a hand on his wife's shoulder. "Come on Sanae, give Akihito a break."

Akihito groaned. "Thanks Ojiisan, but it's okay….I guess I'll explain. I didn't want to worry either of you…you just needed to enjoy your retirement without having me stress over…" Kitten…

"Akihito, you are our grandson! We are going to worry about you." As she said this, Sanae pulled away from the hug and was able to look Aki up and down. The woman's eyes filled with tears. "You look so pale…and thin…You need to come home and let me take care of you!"

"Nooo! Don't take Mommy!" Kiyomi pipped up, running over and wrapping her arms around Aki's waist.

"Oh my…Akihito who is this precious little girl?" Tadanari asked, bending down and smiling at the little girl. The longer Asami watched the grandfather, the more alikeness he noticed Akihito had to him. They had the same smile.

"And why is she calling you "Mommy?" Akihito was looking between his grandparents uncomfortably. Oh right, they are still unaware about everything…Well, that's about to change.

"I'm sure you both have a lot of questions…There's a lot to talk about…so why don't we all sit for dinner and Akihito and I will explain it all. Okay?" Asami spoke up smoothly, gesturing to the table that was already set.

Once the couple had sat down, Asami pulled out a chair for Aki and pushed it in once his lover had sat down. He did the same for their daughter before taking his own seat. The crimelord could feel the nerves coming off his photographer, so he took his hand in hopes it would calm Akihito a bit. We'll do this together.

A meal and lot of explaining later….

"So….the two of you are together…and this is your adopted daughter?" Sanae asked as a clarification, trying to process the long story that was just relayed to her. Of course they had left out all the…darker parts that they didn't need to know about. This didn't seem like the time to mention all the kidnappings or about how they originally met. That would be how not to get your lover's family to approve of you 101; the opposite of what he was aiming for.

"Um….yep. That's about right." Aki replied sheepishly, staring down at his hands that were fumbling nervously in his lap.

She slowly nodded, looking between them. Up until this point she hadn't said anything about them two being a couple, in fact she hadn't even looked too surprised when the information was put on the table. Asami couldn't tell what she was thinking with that stone face she was wearing, something that unnerved him. He hated being out of control of a situation. Come on, give me something here woman!

At least he didn't have to worry about Akihito's grandfather's thoughts on this; the man seemed perfectly okay with it all. He had been smiling the entire time and nodded, just happy to hear that Akihito had found somebody who cared so much about him and to have a grandchild. Said grandchild had migrated from her chair onto Tadanari's lap, where she was giggling away as she put the hair bows that had previous been in her hair into his, not paying a lick of attention of what was going on around her. Tadanari seemed content just to sit there and let her do it.

Sanae paced the room as she was deep in thought over everything. Neither he nor Akihito spoke a word as they waited for the verdict. Finally she turned to look at Aki, stone faced as ever.

"Are you happy?"

Akihito's eyebrows furrowed, taken back by the question before he nodded hesitantly. "Yes, I'm very happy."

His grandmother nodded again, seeming at least somewhat pleased with his reply. "…Your happiness is what matters here, not my views on this. So…for your happiness, I'll accept Ryuichi as part of the family. Besides, you brought us a great grandchild, a very beautiful one at that."

"Thank you for accepting me, Sanae. I promise you won't regret it." Asami assured, feeling relieved.

"You best take good care of him, and of this sweet little girl," Sanae set a hand on Kiyomi's shoulder, smiling down at the little girl, "Because they are too precious and sweet not to have someone good taking care of them."

"Obaachan! Don't say embarrassing things like that!" Akihito whined, pouting cutely and blushing.

Asami chuckled, shaking his head. Such a brat. "Don't worry, taking care of them is my first priority."

"Good, now what's for dessert?" Guess we know where his sweet tooth comes from…

The crimelord grinned. "I believe Haruka made castella."

"Sounds delightful, hurry and bring it in then please. I need something sweet."

"Right away. Haruka! Please bring in the dessert!"

After dessert Akihito had left to give Kiyomi a bath after his grandmother assured him they wouldn't leave while he was gone. Actually they planned on staying the night since the ride back to their home was a couple of hours and it was already past seven. Tadanari had found the golf cart out back and had stolen Ceska and was currently out joyriding through, leaving him alone with Akihito's grandmother. Traitorous little puppy.

Asami cleared his throat, sitting across from Sanae in the family room. "I apologize for not inviting Akihito's parents as well, but I don't know their contact information."

The woman furrowed her eyebrows, frowning. "He hasn't told you?"

"Told me what?"

"…Akihito's parents died when he was young. We've been the ones raising him since he was five years old."

This took the crimelord a couple moments to process. "He has…never mentioned his parents."

Sanae sighed softly. "That doesn't really surprise me, Akihito hasn't really spoken about them since it happened. And I'm sure by now he barely remembers them."

He stared down at his hands, wanting to ask what happened, but was starting to opt not to because he didn't want to bring up old wounds. Luckily for him, Sanae seemed willing to talk about it. It was something she probably thought he needed to know.

"Akihito was born in Japan but didn't always live here, actually when he was very small he was raised in France where his mother was from. She was an artist, a painter. His father, our son, was a photographer," She paused, struggling to keep herself collected, "In the middle of the night there was a break in, and his parents were both shot while they were sleeping. His other grandmother was able to get him hidden under a bathroom sink before she called the police."

Asami didn't know what to say, he was stunned into silence. He had no idea that this was his lover's past, especially not with how free spirited Akihito was. He was always just so happy to be alive, enjoying the little things. Even with all the bad that had been plaguing them, Akihito had still managed to be Asami's sunshine coming in after the storm. Never had it occurred to the businessman that something so awful and heartbreaking could have occurred in his lover's childhood. For the lover he would go to great lengths to protect and make smile, he felt like he hadn't cared enough to really get to know the man he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. It had never been part of their relationship to talk about the past, but maybe that should change.

"I think the worst part for him was that his grandmother said it was a game of hide and seek and promised she would come and find him. But she never was able to, so he was left waiting until the police found him. After that he's never been able to play that game, not even with his two little friends he grew up with."

"I never would have guessed that something so tragic could have happened to him. I thought I knew everything about him, but it appears that's not true."

"Now don't get the wrong idea, this isn't something you need to go relaying back to Akihito. If he hasn't told you it's because he doesn't want to talk about, not because he doesn't trust you. He's always wanted to live for the future, not the past. But this was something you needed to know, especially with having a child now." Though Sanae didn't specify what she meant by this, Asami understood. Akihito would not be okay with not knowing where Kiyomi was at all times, because he would fear losing her. Hide and Seek is definitely an outlawed game.

"I understand, Sanae. I won't bring it up to him until he's ready to speak about it to me. You don't have to worry…I'd never do anything to hurt Akihito." Asami assured her. Akihito had always done the same for him, never pushing him to talk about his past. They both had skeletons in their closet, ones neither of them were ready to face completely. One day they would, and when they were ready the two would do it together.

"What are you guys talking about?" Asami turned in his seat to see his lover walking in, holding Kiyomi's hand. Their little girl was dressed in a long purple nightgown with little pink bunny slippers. She looked like she was about to pass out.

Sanae instantly smiled and gushed over the adorable little girl. "I think it's someone's bedtime." She cooed as she stood up from the sectional, walking over and lifting the sleepy girl up into her arms. "I'll put her to bed. It's been a while since I've had a little one to read too."

"Can I pick the story Obaachan?" Kiyomi asked in a mumble, laying her head on her grandmother's neck. It was amazing how quickly the little just adapted to a family lifestyle.

"Of course you can little princess, any story you want." Sanae promised, already doting on the little girl.

"Are you sure Sanae? If you want I can carry her up for yo- and she's already heading up the stairs…" Asami shook his head as he watched the sixty year old woman carry the child up the stairs, ignoring him and the convenient elevator.

Akihito snickered, grinning and shaking his head alongside the crimelord. "Don't bother, once she has her mind set on something there's no stopping her."

"Huh, I wonder who that sounds like…"

The boy blinked, looking up at him. "What are you talking abo- Oh my god is Ojiisan on the golf cart?!" Akihito ran to the window, peering out before speeding off towards the backdoor. Asami followed, walking out onto the back patio just as Tadanari pulled up in front of them. Ceska was panting and wiggling happily in her seat, still wearing that damned tiara.

"Ooo! That looks like fun! Move over old man, I wanna drive!" Akihito excitedly yelled, bouncing on his heels as the man laughed and scooted over to the passenger's seat, putting the dog in his lap. "You ready to see how fast this thing can go?~"

"Akihito, be careful! Don't wreck it and don't break it!"

Tadanari turned around in his seat and stuck his tongue out at Asami, catching the man by surprise. "Don't be such a negative Nancy! Now floor it Akihito! We have a need for speed!" Akihito laughed and slammed on the gas, sending them off down the slope of the backyard at the highest speed the cart would go. Asami rolled his eyes, chuckling and muttering under his breath.

"Now I see where he gets it."
