"Why?"
"Why what, Ryuji?" Akihito asked his son back while he was packing his son's Avenger suitcase in Ryuji's bedroom. Ryuji in his own way helping Akihito by putting unnecessary things ("We don't need your action figures to come along, Ryuji") inside his suitcase.
"Why Kou-chan can't join us too?" Ryuji asked, trying to sneak his comics inside his suitcase but Akihito caught him.
"Kousuke-kun has to go somewhere else for vacation with his family too, Ryuji. You'll see him again after we came back alright?"
Ryuji scrunched up his nose which Akihito thought cute, "Ok then Papa, but I want to buy lots of souvenir for him."
Akihito ruffled his son's hair affectionately, "No problem! As long as you behave and listen like a good boy and don't get lost. And... we also don't need your Hawkeye costume, Ryuji."
"Why?"
VFVFVFVFVF
"Why?"
Akihito sighed at the question as he was stirring the curry sauce he was making on the stove, he looked over his shoulder towards his husband leaning against the kitchen entrance, crossing his arms and cocking an eyebrow waiting for Akihito's reply.
"Why what, Ryuichi?" Akihito asked, though he felt like déjà vu.
"Why must we go to some common winter resort that without doubt crowded with other vacation goers when I already own a perfectly functioning winter resort not to mention it is for private use away from other people?" asked Asami.
Akihito let his curry simmer and went to chop some potatoes. "Well, dear it is because I want Ryuji to enjoy his winter vacation fully like a normal kid seeing other people and other kids. I mean yes I would love to spend with just the three of us but there will be no vacation spirit."
Asami knew how obsess Akihito is in ensuring Ryuji to have normal life, though Asami still does not get what Akihito's normal standard is. "Should I arrange it then?"
"Nope, I got it done already, husband dear. I know if I leave it to you, you're going to buy the whole damn resort just for peace of your mind."
Asami shrugged, his Akihito knew him too well. "Well what can I say, I am a private person." He went to the refrigerator to get his drink. "Are you sure about this?" He asked again, trying to change Akihito's mind because he really not looking forward for this winter vacation brushing shoulders with other people.
"Yeap, don't worry. If this vacation indeed goes to hell, I will let you plan our next vacation wherever you want to bring us next time."
"Very well," Asami sipped on drink, at least he already has a plan for their next vacation.
"Oh, by the way Ryuichi you can't bring any of your bodyguards to our vacation," Akihito said while putting all the potatoes in the curry sauce.
He nearly choked on his drink. "Why?!"
VFVFVFVFVF
"Why?"
Akihito held himself from rolling his eyes; he was wondering how many times he has been asked that question in that week. "Listen Kou it's a free vacation, all expense on me so why not?"
Kou pursed his lips giving Akihito a look. Both of them were sitting in a cafe they usually went when they hang out because Akihito likes the strawberry cheesecake there. "I have known you for a long time, Aki. I know there is something you hide from me."
Akihito sipped on his peppermint mocha latte, trying to hide his guilty look. "Well, there is something..."
"I knew it!" Kou slammed his hand on the table nearly spilled his drink on himself.
Therefore Akihito explained about his winter vacation plan and how Asami totally disagree in not to bring any of his bodyguard and when they reached a compromise after a hot make-up sex, ("I don't need that information, Aki") Akihito agreed to allow only one bodyguard but the bodyguard need to act like a normal person going on a vacation to avoid suspicion from other people.
"But you see... a scary person going on a vacation alone is you know... scary. I'm afraid they are going to call police or something."
"Asami-san's bodyguard is scary?" Kou asked incredulously, he remembered Kirishima was indeed scary looking but Suoh seem kind to him.
"And that's why I need you, my best friend, Kou to go on a vacation with that person!"
"WHY?"
VFVFVFVFVF
"I'm sorry, sir but why?"
"It's Akihito's idea, Suoh. He have this normal family winter vacation in his head, no matter what I do, I cannot get him to get rid of his idea." Asami told his second assistant while they were in his office. "Therefore you need to pretend going on a vacation with his friend to avoid suspicion while doing your job."
"Akihito-san's friend?" Suoh asked, he only knew some of Akihito's friend.
"Yes, I believe his name is Kou, Ryuji's teacher from the preschool."
"Why not Kirishima-san if I may ask?"
"Kirishima have to overlook the business when I'm on vacation with my family and furthermore I trust you with this and you have been a hardworking person until now so why not take a vacation too."
Suoh was surprise, Asami rarely gave praise to his workers. "Thank you, sir." He bowed in respect.
"Oh one more thing you're going to share a room with Akihito's friend."
"…..why?"
VFVFVFVFVF
"Ryuji!" Akihito called his son from his bedroom. Ryuji came running with his remote control car zooming ahead of him. "Yes, Papa?"
"I thought I told you not to bring toys in your bag," Akihito was pointing at the various toys he found in Ryuji's suitcase. "You need space to put your winter jacket and everything."
Ryuji pouted celarly unhappy. "But Papa, I saw Daddy put toys in his suitcase too!"
"RYUICHI!"
TBC or not...
