Drabble the seventh: Akutsu/Dan

Dan was fidgeting. He fidgeted a lot, Akutsu had come to notice over the years, but not like this. The kid actually looked frightened--whether of Akutsu's reaction to what he was about to tell him or of the thing itself, Akutsu wasn't sure.

"Come on, spit it out," he said, which was about as encouraging as he figured Dan could really expect of him.

Dan chewed his lip. "P-promise you won't get mad, desu?"

"Sure, whatever, just get on with it."

"Well… I… I went to see the doctor yesterday, and…"

Akutsu's eyes widened minutely. Oh God, Dan couldn't be dying, could he? But then, why would Akutsu be mad? Shit, he better not have picked up a disease or something. Not that Dan was the type to sleep around…

"I'm pregnant."

Akutsu blinked. "Pregnant."

Dan nodded.

"Um. Okay. Do you need money?"

"Money?" Dan tilted his head in confusion. "What would I need money for, desu?"

"An abortion," Akutsu replied bluntly.

Dan's eyes grew to twice their normal size. "No! Of course I don't want an abortion, desu!"

Akutsu shrugged. Why would Dan want his kid? It was bound to be as messed up as he was. "What are you gonna do, then?"

"Well… I want to keep it…"

"Why?"

"Because…" Dan flushed. "Because it's Akutsu-senpai's, desu… but…" the smaller boy bit his lip. "You don't… want it?"

"I--I didn't say that," Akutsu said, scratching the back of his head. "I mean… well, I just didn't--never mind. You're sure you want to keep it?"

"Of course, desu!"

Akutsu shoved his hands in his pockets and looked at a point above Dan's shoulder. "Then… so do I."
