Chapter 11

Eiri's Second Offer

"What a beautiful sight. Please come inside, I was really expecting you."

Shuichi Shindou didn't move from where he was standing. He was just staring at his feet, and was not thinking straight.

Eiri opened the door wide and held Shuichi's arm to guide him inside the apartment. "Sorry, it's a bit dark in here, but…….

He looked at Shuichi's body. "It's more fun doing it in the dark don't you think?"

Shuichi's face changed from expressionless to guilty.

"I'm only doing this for my son." He stated and looked at Eiri Uesugi.

"Yeah, I know that. Don't worry; I'll take care of all your hospital bills." Eiri said and guided Shuichi inside the bedroom.

The instant that they were inside, he ripped Shuichi's shirt and pushed him on the bed.

"Aniki said I shouldn't go here, but, do I really have a choice?"
Tatsuha Uesugi found himself walking inside the Seguchi mansion. He was tasked by their sister to hand some important business files to Tohma Seguchi.

"Geez, why does this house have to be so big? Ah, my bad, I think I am lost." He commented loudly and turned to a hallway. He found an open pink door and inside he saw his niece, being taught English by his tutor.

"I think I saw that man before when I was younger." He shrugged off the feeling and continued exploring or rather, looking for the 'Bowler Hat's dungeon' otherwise known as 'Tohma Seguchi's office'.

"Could it be this way?" he decided to take the stairs and turn left. "Oh, it's dark." He said and remembered that his sister said that the office was located at the end of a hallway.

"Like duh, there are plenty of hallways here." He walked farther until he reached a certain dark door. "Hm, maybe this is it." He twisted a knob and a creepy creaking door sounded. "Geez." He muttered.

He looked inside, and couldn't see anything. He didn't like the room based from his sense of smell.

"Yuck, smells like blood."

He walked inside, tried to look for the light switch and when he did so, he pressed it. The moment the lights were opened, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Fujisaki Suguru?"

Shuichi was shocked from that fast move by Eiri. He didn't have time to react when the blonde pushed him on the bed and lay on top of him.

"Ue – Uesugi san."

"This is for the fast recovery of your son." Eiri said and removed his own shirt. He began licking Shuichi's exposed chest, stopping only to suck the nipple. Shuichi winced and gripped on the sheets. He shut his eyes and let Eiri have his way.

Eiri continued kissing and licking Shuichi's chest, slowly traveling his skilled tongue down Shuichi's navel, then, he unbuttoned the short pants and started sucking his cock. Shuichi's grip on the sheets tightened, and he gritted his teeth, to prevent from moaning.

"What's wrong?" Eiri lay on top of him again and whispered on his ear. "Are you shy?"

Shuichi shook his head and avoided Eiri's face by looking at the other side. Eiri, however, saw this side as a better position.

He bit Shuichi's neck and licked it afterwards. He caressed Shuichi's legs and parted them with his knees. "Your skin is as smooth as always."

Shuichi blushed and almost lost his mind when Eiri inserted a finger on his portal. "You like this, right?" Eiri whispered while Shuichi shook his head.

Eiri smirked and noticed that Shuichi was trembling, in reply to Shuichi's reaction, he inserted another finger.

"Uhn." Shuichi finally elicited a moan. He couldn't open his eyes because he was too shy to look at Eiri.

And the other reason was, if he opened his eyes, he didn't know if he could control himself.

"Reserving your voice? Don't be afraid to vocalize your satisfaction." Eiri smirked more and removed his finger on Shuichi.

Eiri wrapped Shuichi's legs on his waist and touched his own thing. He winced at his own touch and prepared to put himself inside Shuichi.

However, something that was glinting on Shuichi's eyes made him stop.

He removed Shuichi's legs from his waist and sat beside him. He got a cigarette on the side table and lighted it.

Shuichi curled up, covered himself with a blanket and continued to sob.

"Stop crying already." Eiri said in a cold tone and smashed the unfinished cigarette on his ashtray. He grumbled and stood up to take a shower.

Shuichi covered his face with his hands once Eiri was inside the bathroom. He cried for a little while, then stood up, picked up his clothes and dressed up. He wiped his tears, gave the bathroom door a glance and walked out of Eiri's apartment.

"Fujisaki Suguru! It's you!" Tatsuha dropped the files on the floor and ran beside a naked and tied up Fujisaki. "Damnit, what happened to you?!" he looked at the green haired kid's wounds and bruises.

"Tat – chan, is that you?" the other replied weakly and smiled. "Don't go near me. If they see you here, they'll kill you."

"Tell me, Fujisaki, what did Tohma and Yukino Seguchi did to you?" He held Fujisaki's cold hands and a lot of memories came back to him. They were childhood friends and they were about the same age. He felt lonely when Fujisaki had gone missing when they were in their early teenage years.

Fujisaki didn't reply and it seems that he had fallen asleep. Tatsuha heard faint footsteps so he hurriedly gathered the files and got out of the room. Before he could come out however, he heard Fujisaki mumbled some words.

"Hiro. Help me."

When Eiri returned to his room, Shuichi was gone. He slumped on the bed and caressed the sheets then afterwards crumpled it.

"I swear I'll let you sleep with me again."

----------

Shuichi visited his son the next day. He was about to go to the paying section first to ask for an extension regarding their bills, but he wanted to see his son first. The first person that he saw was not his son but, an oh – so – happy Maiko.

"Oniichan! Shinori kun's well! We could bring him home now!"

"Daddy! You didn't sleep beside me last night. Where were you?" he gave his dad a pout.

"Yeah, where were you?" Maiko asked. "Anyway, I'm glad we could bring him home now. Honestly Shuichi, I'm impressed by how fast you raised your funds."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Shuichi asked his sister and hugged his son.

"Aw, Shuichi, I went to the payment section earlier to ask for an extension, but the nurse said that you already paid the bills."

"What!" Shuichi screamed in shock and ran as fast as he could to check if his sister was telling the truth.

He didn't make it to where he was going because he bumped into a man by the name of Eiri Uesugi.

"Ow." He rubbed his nose and when he realized who bumped him, his body stiffened.

"Running around the hospital is strictly prohibited." Eiri was the first to speak. He lighted a cigarette and blew his smoke on Shuichi's face.

"And so is smoking." Shuichi said and crossed his arms. "I don't have money to pay for what you did. I didn't sleep with you right? Then why are you doing this?"

Eiri blew his smoke again and looked at Shuichi. The other was glaring at him with the most fragile amethyst eyes he saw in his entire life. He smirked, held Shuichi's chin and pulled him in a quick kiss.

Of course, the latter stepped back. "Bastard!" He cursed and wiped his mouth.

Eiri walked towards him and leaned on the wall. He finished his smoke quickly and threw it on the nearest trash can.

Shuichi glared at him again. "Give me a few months, and I'll pay that amount."

"Stop kidding, Shuichi. You don't have a job this time and you have plenty of debts. How do you think you can pay me?"

"I don't want to sleep with you damn it! You're blackmailing me!"

"I'm not using blackmail. I'm not that type of guy. But if you really want to pay me, you know what I want. You know where I live. You can drop by anytime." Eiri stated and walked away.

"That's unfair. It's still blackmailing!" he shouted and punched the wall, but Eiri didn't turn around to entertain Shuichi.

You're really a bastard Eiri. He thought and walked back to Shinori's room.

When Eiri arrived at his apartment, he saw Tatsuha on the couch. He sighed and prepared for whatever headache his brother has in store for him.

"So?" he asked and sat on the other end of the couch.

"I went to Seguchi's mansion."

"I told you not to go there."

"But Mika ordered me to deliver some files. I don't have a choice."

"What happened?"

"Well, nothing."

"Then why are you here?"

"I – I saw someone. Someone from the past. He was in great pain."

"Father?"

"No dummy, not a ghost. It was childhood friend. Remember him? We used to play a lot in elementary. Fujisaki Suguru."

"Fujisaki? The green haired kid?"

"Yeah! Him! When I saw him, he was in chains and his whole body's injured, he's even naked. He looks like he didn't eat for a whole week."

"So?"

"So? Aniki! Aren't you even concerned? He's in that house! He might die!"

"You don't know? That kid is Tohma's cousin. Better stay away from him or else Tohma might kill you too."

"That's not the point! I want to rescue him!"

"And ask me to help you? No way. I've been through a lot of stress lately and I don't want to involve myself in saving that childhood sweetheart of yours."

Tatsuha bit his lip and glared at Eiri. "Fine then, I won't tell you about Shuichi Shindou's past."

Eiri froze and looked at his brother. "That guy has nothing to do with what you want me to do. Besides, you already told me about his past."

"Oh yeah? Well, to tell you something, the files I delivered to Tohma is about Shuichi Shindou. And I already know where he lives."

"What? Why? Where? Give me that info."

"No way. I want you to help me to rescue Fujisaki."

Eiri bit his lip.

"Go home. I don't want you here."

"Aniki! Please? I think Tohma's after Shuichi too."

"Fine.

"Yay!" Tatsuha jumped and hugged his brother.

Files about Shuichi huh? Why does Mika have something like that and why does Tohma want that file?

"So, where does he live?"

"Not far from here, actually." Tatsuha got a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Eiri. "That's the address."

Eiri examined it, and indeed, it was not very far. It was just two streets away from his apartment.

"What about your share?"

"I'll look for some information about that Fujisaki, and I'll just call you about it."

Tatsuha glared at him.

"What? I always keep my promises!" Eiri defended himself.

"Hmph. I swear if you are just trying to trick me, I'll tell Mika and Yukino where you live." He warned and exited the apartment.

"What's that brother?"

Tohma removed his reading glasses and threw the files on his table carelessly. "Just a piece of junk about Fujisaki's colleagues when he was still a whore."

"Oh." Yukino said and exited Tohma's room. "Ah, by the way, we won't be here on Sunday. We will attend Yukari's family day celebration at school.

"So where's Eiri san?"

"I called him but he's not answering his phone. But I already left a message on his cell phone. He'll probably come."

Fujisaki Suguru huh? Green haired kid. I'm sure I saw him before.

He browsed through some files that the Uesugi family was hiding. It was their reference regarding drug dealing.

"Found it." He said to himself and flipped the pages. "Right. I really saw him before." Eiri stared at Fujisaki's picture and the image of Blue Boy came to his mind. "That's it. He was also a whore during the time of Shuichi. Why haven't I noticed that?" he slammed the folder on the table and began to think. So why is Tohma looking for Shuichi's biography?

He turned on his cell phone and listened to the voice messages. He hadn't opened his cell phone since yesterday and probably that bitch of a wife of his is probably worried.

Message 1: Eiri! Yukari's family day at school is on Sunday. Be sure to come. It would be a shame if only one parent will arrive.

Message 2: Damn you Eiri, you're still haven't prepared anything for Yukari's 7th birthday! Where the heck are you?

"Yeah right. Birthday and family day huh?" Shuichi suddenly flashed on his mind and he smirked. "Hm, I think I should go to that family day." He looked at his table calendar and saw that his 'daughter's' birthday is only two weeks away. "That spoiled brat. I haven't spent much time with her." Beside the table calendar was a picture of him and a four year old Yukari during their vacation in France.

He didn't know why but Shinori's face suddenly appeared on his mind. He shook his head and massaged his forehead.

What's this feeling? The first time I saw that kid, I felt that I have a strong bond with him. Nah, must be my imagination. Maybe it's just because I wanted to see Shuichi badly.

He dismissed the thought and looked back at what he said. I wanted to Shuichi badly? He felt his pants get tight. "Damnit." He touched himself and gritted his teeth. "Shuichi. Damn. Shuichi, I'll fucking.. Shuichi."

------------------------

Not far away, Shuichi sneezed loudly. "Man, I think I got Shinori's flu."

"Shu chan, tell me honestly, where did you get the money to pay for Shinori's bills?" Maiko joined her brother on the couch. "That's really a great amount of money."

"I didn't pay the bills. Someone else did. That bastard."

"You mean Shinori kun's dad?"

"Yeah. And he was trying to blackmail me. Argh, I don't want to talk about it."

There was a loud knock on their door.

"Are you expecting a visitor?" the siblings said in unison.

"No." they both replied and giggled afterwards.

"I'll go get it." Shuichi said and opened the door. It revealed a rather stout and grumpy old man in his forties.

"Mr. Nakashima."

"Shindous, I have given you much time and you haven't paid your rent. I'll expect you to move out from this apartment next week."

"Wait, Nakashima san! I promise I'll pay next –

"Promises again Mr. Shindou? No way, you haven't paid for three months. This is not a charitable institute, I also need money." The Nakashima oldie said and went away before Shuichi could explain himself.

"Brother, what are we going to do?" Maiko who came from behind asked.

"We could go to our grandparent's house. But I remember it's just a small house. Only you and your children can fit there."

"Ok, we'll go there, but what about you?"

"Maybe, we'll just stay with Hiro."

It was finally the family day at Shinori and Yukari's school, and all the student's parents were there. Eiri and Yukino arrived with Yukari while Shuichi and Shinori arrived late. He avoided the Uesugi family and sat down on the back side of the classroom.

I remember that whore. Yukino said to herself and glanced at Eiri who was also looking at Shuichi. Shuichi on the other hand felt that some people were staring at him, so he just hugged his son to avoid being nervous.

The whole event went smoothly except for the fact that Yukino was glaring at Shuichi every time their eyes met. She tightens her hold on Eiri's arm while the latter ignores her completely.

When it was already time to go home, Eiri cornered Shuichi inside the comfort room.

"What do you want Uesugi san?"

"Nothing, I just heard you and your family have no place to stay since you can't pay your rent." Eiri said bluntly.

What a stalker. Shuichi gritted his teeth because he felt like Eiri was insulting him. "So what? You're happy about it?"

"You're misunderstanding me again, Shuichi."

"Whatever, I don't care; I can sleep at my friend's house while my sister and her kids can stay at our relative's place."

"Oh yeah? And how about work? You don't have a job right?"

Shuichi glared at him and started to walk away but Eiri grabbed his arm.

"Wait, I'm not yet finished talking."

"I really thank you for paying Shinori's hospital bills but that doesn't mean you can insult me and my family. Excuse me please."

"I said wait. I'm willing to give you a job."

"Job? What? Suck you? No thanks." Shuichi replied bitterly.

"You can do that, but that's not the job I want to give you." Eiri said.

Shuichi felt a little curious and stood there to listen to Eiri.

"Well, since you don't want to pay me with your body, you can replace it by working on my apartment."

"What do you mean?"

"Understand this ok? I'm not degrading you or something, but you can be a maid in my apartment since I can't clean it always because I'm busy with my work."

"A maid." Shuichi repeated, thinking over Eiri's offer.

"Um, plus, since you don't have a place to go to, I think you and your son can live at my house."

Shuichi froze at his additional offer.

"A – and, you can live there for free."

Still, Shuichi didn't talk.

"A – about the job, about being a maid, I'll pay you but the hospital bills will be cut off from your salary."

Shuichi looked at him questioningly.

"So?" Eiri asked impatiently.

Shuichi gulped. "I – I think I'll accept it since – since, we really don't know where we'll live and I don't have a job, and I can't think of anything on how to repay you and - and………

"Very well then." Eiri smiled triumphantly and exited the comfort room. "You know my address right? I expect you to be there in a week."

"Geez." Shuichi muttered and wiped his sweat. "A maid. I can't believe I actually accepted the offer." He placed a hand on his chest and felt his heart. My heart, why does it beat this way? Am I excited? What's this feeling?!

"Daddy? Are you in here?" Shinori peeked inside the comfort room and smiled when he saw Shuichi inside.

"Um, Shinori, com'n let's go home." Shuichi said and held his son's hand. And we still need to pack our things and live at your dad's house. Yeeeeeee. Great! I got to live with Eiri!

"Daddy! You're going to bump –

BUMP!

- the door." Shinori finished.

"Ow." Shuichi rubbed his head and laughed. Oh my, I really am excited. Even though I'll work there as a maid, I'm happy as long as I can be with Eiri.
