Ch. 14-File
Akihito walked into the barn thinking about how they were going to tell Asami's family. His dad didn't exactly take it that well but he was praying that Asami's would take it better.
He walked into the barn and grabbed a brush before walking over to Strom and letting him out of the stall. Akihito had learned yesterday that Storm tended to stay wherever he was so he didn't bother to tie the horse up and just walked out of the barn, being followed by Storm, toward the grass for Storm to graze on while he brushed him.
Akihito had just started to brush the horses back when a bowl of something was placed in front of him.
"What's this?"
"Breakfast." Asami said from behind him. "The cook said it is good for pregnant people."
"Ah, thanks." Akihito said handing the brush to Asami and taking the bowl.
Akihito started to eat it and Fontane was right it didn't make him feel sick like all the other food. Akihito walked over to where Storms head was and sat down.
"You can brush him if you like." Akihito said as he watched Asami stare at the brush.
Asami didn't say anything but walked to the horse and placed the brush on his back but as soon as the brush touched the horse Storm picked his head up and stared at Asami. They stayed like that for a while, neither one of them making a move, just staring.
Akihito looked back and forth between Asami and Storm, "Storm." Akihito said then waited for the horse to turn his head toward him. "Ryuichi is the father of my child. He won't hurt you or me." Akihito said while petting Storm, who had leaned down to nuzzle Aki's stomach. "Kay I think he'll let you brush him now." Akihito said to Asami then him and Storm continued eating.
Once Akihito had finished eating he walked back into the barn with Asami's eyes on him then walked back out with another brush and a camera.
"Thought I would capture the moment when the bastard isn't being a bastard." Akihito said as he snapped a couple of pictures of Asami and Storm.
Asami gave him a look but didn't say anything.
Satisfied for now Akihito put the camera into his pocket and walked to the other side of Storm and started to brush that side.
They stayed like that, brushing Storm, in a comfortable silence, when Akihito decided to speak.
"So what's your family like?"
"Well they aren't yakuza if that is what you are wondering."
"They aren't?!" Akihito asked surprised. Upon seeing the look Asami gave him he tried to explain, "It's not like I care it's just that you act like you are all high and mighty and have never had to deal with poverty and the life of a normal person before."
"That's correct," Asami said. "My family might not me yakuza but they are not normal. My family is one of the richest families in Japan. They own a chain of hotels, I took over the company when I was 19 and from there I 'expanded'."
Akihito snorted, "Nice way of saying that you started dealing illegally."
Asami raised an eyebrow at Akihito who just shrugged.
"Asami-sama I brought the file you requested and the papers which need to be signed." Kirishima said.
Akihito turned to look behind him and wondered when Kirishima got here.
Asami nodded and motioned for Kirishima to bring the papers over to him.
"What file? What papers? You aren't supposed to be working." Akihito said starting to get annoyed that their comfortable mood was ruined.
"The file over your pregnancy," Kirishima answered with a slight blush. "And the papers to cancel the surrogate."
"Oh, wait, what surrogate?!"
"That will be all Kirishima." Asami said a little annoyed as he handed back a few papers signed to Kirishima. Then handed the file to him as well, "Take that to the room that Jakuson has set up for me."
"Yes sir." Kirishima said with a slight bow then turned and walked away.
Asami turned back to his now pissed younger lover. "WHAT SURROGATE?!"
"The day before you left you put a pillow under your shirt and were asking about kids so I figured you wanted some."
Akihito's eyes widened, "So that…that was for me?"
"Yes. Well actually I was going to talk to you about it at dinner if you wanted to be the father or me or both get a surrogate. But yes it was for you."
"Oh."
Asami smirked. Then walked around Storm to pull Aki closer, "But I guess we don't need that anymore anyway, huh?" Asami said while placing his hand on Aki's stomach successfully making the younger man blush.
"No, hehe, guess not." Akihito said smiling then up at Asami before kissing him on the lips.
When Aki was about to pull away thought, Asami grabbed the back of Aki's head and brought him in to a heated kiss.
Storm then successfully ruined the mood by whinnying loudly and nuzzling in between Asami and Akihito.
Asami glared at the horse, and Akihito blushed then giggled a little and continued to brush Storm, who had gone back to grazing.
"So when can we tell your parents."
"How about next week?" Asami asked without looking up from brushing Storm.
"Kay!"
Once they finished brushing Storm they sat down next to each other in the shade of a tree and watched Storm graze for a while.
"So have you thought about what you are going to name the little one?" Asami asked.
"Uh no not really, I was going to find out it's gender first but I do have a few names that I like."
"What are they?"
"Well I'm kinda going to throw them out."
"Why?" Asami asked while raisin an eyebrow.
"Because they don't fit anymore. Plus, I want to discuss everything with you." After a while Aki spoke up again. "Do you know where he is going to grow up?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are we going to move in here and raise the child here or go back to Tokyo."
"It depends on your father. I would like to raise the kid in Tokyo where I work so I can come back to you two every day but I won't lie, it's nice out here and I can see a little one running around. Plus, it's not as polluted." Asami said as he gazed out at the large fields and trees beyond that.
"Yeah I did enjoy running around everywhere. Gave my parents multiple heart attacks when they couldn't find me though." Akihito said laughing at the memory of his dad sending his men and helicopters out to find him one day when he went to explore the woods. (it wasn't his fault his guard wasn't small enough to weave through the forest like he could, and as a result couldn't keep up)
"I'm sure you were a pain as a child." Asami said as he smirked looking up from the file about Aki's pregnancy he had been reading.
"What's that supposed to mean you bastard?!"
"It just means…"
"OH RYU!"
"Yes Akihito?" Asami said amused at Aki's behavior.
"There's something you need to see!" Akihito said smiling brightly.
"And what would that be?"
"It's…No it's a surprise," Aki said as he stood up. "Stay here I'll be right back!" Aki said and didn't give his lover a chance to answer before he turned and ran toward the house.
Akihito ran into the kitchen and was stopped by his dad.
"Dad I don't have time for this." He groaned, "I love you, and I forgive you, but threaten or harm my baby and I'll kill you!" Aki yelled as he ran past his dad and placed a quick kiss on his check before bolting up the stairs and into his room.
Once Aki found what he was looking for, he ran back downstairs and past his stunned father still standing in the kitchen, and out the back door toward the tree that Asami was still sitting under reading the file.
"What was so important that you had to take off like that?" Asami asked.
"This!" Aki said as he held out the pictures of his first ultrasound, "I saw that the file didn't have any pictures and…well…yeah." Aki said starting to get a little embarrassed as Asami took the photos and stared at them.
"So this is our kid?"
"Yeah." Aki said as he sat back down next to Asami and looked at the pictures with him. They just sat there staring at the picture, neither one wanting to move.
"Hey Ryu…?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think I'll make a good parent?"
Asami smirked, "You have been able to capture my attention. If you were able to do that, you will definitely make a great mommy."
"Mommy! Who says I'm going to be called mommy?!"
"You are aren't you?"
"Well…that's…bastard." Aki mumbled as he closed his eyes, laid down, and put his head in Asami's lap, while Asami started to finger Aki's hair. "Do you think we will be able to handle a kid? Do you think it will like us?"
"It will love us. I have yet to meet a child who is born hating their parents. It's the parents who screw up that are hated by their kids, and I don't plan on screwing up." Asami said trying to comfort his pregnant lover.
"Good." Aki said as he snuggled into Asami's stomach.
