Chapter 18. Come What May

Part 1. Great Minds Think Alike

Suoh looked incredibly relieved when he saw Asami entering the penthouse. Asami's most reliable head of security was made to handle all kind of terror as long as it didn't involve emotional tears. And right now, Akihito was an emotional time bomb ready to explode at any time. Asami put his shoes aside and let Kirishima taking off his coat.

Loosening his necktie with one hand, the other was busy rolling his sleeves up, Asami asked, "Where is he?"

"Takaba-sama is sleeping in the bedroom with the boys, Asami-sama."

"Did anything happen while I was away?"

Suoh kept his face straight as he answered, but his uneasiness was profound. "Haruka found Takaba-sama cleaning his hand furiously before lunch time, saying he was going to feed the boys and afraid that he would stain them. She stopped him, quite fiercely I might add. It worked, though, and he calmed down a bit. All day long, just like the last few days, he insisted on keeping the boys close to him even if he made sure he didn't make any skin contact. He didn't even let Haruka to help him feeding them. But other than that, Takaba-sama just did the usual things; cleaning, cooking, laundering."

Asami merely nodded at the report. By now, the report didn't surprise him anymore.

"You can go now, Suoh. I believe you need to supervise the men to clean that filthy storage room."

Suoh bowed and left.

The night after Akihito had been rescued, Asami had watched the pain and guilt flashing in Akihito's eyes as the doctor explained the impact of Nao's injury. Emi, and probably also due to the impact from Akihito catching Nao after Goro'd dropped the baby, had damaged a nerve in Nao's right arm. The doctor had told them not to worry too much. They believed that there was high probability that Nao could use his right arm to do normal everyday activities, even to do sports. However, it might affect any activity that required his hand to be completely steady. They had done everything that they could for now, the doctor had said. The doctor had also suggested continuous physical therapy. For how long, the doctor couldn't be sure.

During their way home, Akihito had sternly turned down Kirishima and Asami's offers to help holding Nao. Even after Akihito'd started to fall asleep in the limo, whenever Asami had tried to quietly take Nao away from Akihito, trying to make Akihito to sleep in a more comfortable position, his lover had immediately startled awake and pulled Nao closer. Akihito's body had instantly stiffened in a survival mode as if preparing himself either to fight or flee with the baby.

The instinctive reaction had angered Asami, partly because it had made him feel as if Akihito couldn't trust him enough to protect their little family, which was a sharp reminder of his failure, but mostly because he could do nothing much now other than supporting Akihito. Furious was an understatement of how Asami truly felt. He wanted to hurt someone, killed someone, needed somewhere to channel all his uncontrollable fury. If it were possible, Asami would have brought those responsible from the land of the death so that he could torture and kill them over and over again. But it wouldn't help Akihito. The only thing he could do now was waiting patiently for Akihito to overcome this nightmare. Unfortunately, patience wasn't Asami's strongest forte whenever Akihito was involved.

The worst part was how Akihito felt like tainting their sons by touching them. What a stupid idea! Shit. If hands that had once been covered with blood could contaminate anyone, Akihito didn't need to be so afraid about tainting the boys. Because in that case, their sons had been tainted to the ninth circle of hell every time Asami hold the babies. In fact, blood might be one of the purest thing that had covered Asami's hands.

The first time Asami had accidentally caught Akihito washing his hands with strong bleach until it had bled, Asami had almost hit Akihito in his anger. And since then, they had caught Akihito doing that whenever his lover thought that no one'd watched. It wasn't Akihito's fault, Asami knew that, but despite years of keeping his feelings under tight control, it was getting harder to suppress the storm of emotion in him.

He snapped himself out of his train of thought. Anger would do no good thing right now. Entering the bedroom, he found Akihito sleeping on the bed. The twins snuggled close to Akihito as if to comfort Asami's young and naive lover. Even with each boy tucked at his side, Akihito looked a bit tense in his sleep, a complete contrast to their sons' peaceful expression.

A soft cough caught his attention. Haruka cleared her throat from the corner of Asami's bedroom, sitting with her tablet on her lap, most probably working while keeping a watch on Akihito.

"He doesn't like me following him around," his assistant whispered softly as she stood to leave the room. "He said he doesn't need…well, something along the line of a babysitter. But after this afternoon incident, I was a bit persistent about watching over him. His hands are so red from irritation already and I can't let him hurt himself even further. I am sorry that I didn't ask for your advice beforehand, Asami-sama. If you feel that I have crossed my-"

He quickly cut the apology with a gentle shake of his head, "There is no need to apologise, Haruka. You did the right thing. Thank you."

After a deep and respectful bow, Haruka walked to leave, but before she reached the door, Asami made up his mind and stopped her. "Haruka, wait a minute. Could you please bring the boys back to their room?"

"I beg your pardon, Sir? If we take the twins from Takaba-sama, he-"

"He will be fine," Asami scowled. He had lost his patience. It was time for Akihito to face the truth, no matter he was ready or not. Asami decided that playing along with Akihito's guilty conscience wouldn't help his lover to realise how wrong it was to keep running away from reality. Sometimes, what Akihito needed to be able to accept the reality was a stick instead of a carrot.

Before Haruka could argue any further, Asami strode towards the bed. Silently, he removed Akihito's arm from around Nao and Rikiya, taking the babies from his lover's embrace. He was almost successful when Akihito somehow felt the movement and suddenly startled awake, at first looking at him as if Asami was a starving mad dog trying to drag their sons away to be eaten for dinner later. But when Akihito realised it was Asami, he relaxed a bit although he was still watching Asami cautiously.

Asami quickly yet gently pulled both babies from Akihito before his lover could do anything to prevent it, exploiting Akihito's confusion after being woken so suddenly. The sudden movement stirred the twins from their slumber. They apparently didn't like being woken from their nap. Asami ignored the instant screams that filled the entire room and quickly passed both babies to the equally dumbstruck Haruka.

"Bring them for a long walk. I will tell you what to do with them later," he gave Haruka a quick instruction.

"NO!" Akihito shouted at the top of his lungs from behind Asami. Lunging himself towards Haruka, Akihito tried to get the babies back but Asami quickly blocked his path. The push Akihito gave him was unexpectedly stronger than he thought it would be, but Asami was much bulkier than Akihito and well trained to fight and kill. It didn't take much to drag his struggling lover back to bed. To his credit, Akihito fought hard and dirty. The younger man kicked, punched, and even bit Asami's hand. Ignoring the sharp pain in his lower arm, Asami hauled his wildcat to the middle of the bed, placing Akihito on all fours and pushing Akihito face down into the pillow.

"Go, Haruka," Asami growled. He could sense her hesitation. But Asami knew she would not interfere with his decision. Kirishima had made damn sure to instil that specific rule into her head. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Haruka quickly walked out from the room before closing the door behind her.

"LET. ME. GO!" Akihito's threat was half muffled by the soft feather pillow.

Asami ignored it. Instead, he grabbed Akihito's wrists, pulling it up and held it firmly. Using his weight as leverage, Asami kept Akihito down while binding Akihito's wrist into the headboard with his own silk tie. He made sure the binding wasn't too tight but it would be sturdy enough not to give way when Akihito struggled. Observing his handiwork, Asami hummed in satisfaction. Akihito could fight all he wanted but nothing he could do to stop Asami.

He felt Akihito's tense muscles under his palms but his lover stayed still for now, playing along while waiting for a chance to turn the table around. Akihito was smart and despite the young man's naiveness, Asami knew that Akihito can be very shrewd and sharp-witted if needed. His lover had the patience of a saint and would wait until the least expected moment to strike back. Perhaps, it was an expected talent for crime-photographers, considering the amount of time they spent hiding in every imaginable places to catch their preys in action.

Chương 18. Hãy đến những gì có thểPhần 1. Cái trí lớn nghĩ như nhauNanano nhìn cực kỳ nhẹ nhõm khi thấy Asami nhập penthouse. Trưởng an ninh đáng tin cậy nhất của Asami đã được thực hiện để xử lý tất cả các loại khủng bố miễn là nó không liên quan đến nước mắt cảm xúc. Và ngay bây giờ, Akihito là một quả bom thời gian tình cảm đã sẵn sàng để nổ bất cứ lúc nào. Asami đặt giày dép của mình sang một bên và để cho Kirishima cất cánh áo của mình.Nới lỏng cà ra vát của mình với một tay, khác là bận rộn lăn tay áo của mình lên, Asami hỏi, "Ở đâu là ông?""Takaba-sama đang ngủ trong phòng ngủ với các bé trai, Asami-sama.""Đã làm bất cứ điều gì xảy ra trong khi tôi đã đi?"Nanano giữ khuôn mặt của mình thẳng như ông trả lời, nhưng lo lắng của ông rất sâu đậm. "Haruka tìm thấy Takaba-sama làm sạch tay của ông giận dữ trước khi thời gian ăn trưa, nói rằng ông đã đi để nuôi các bé trai và sợ rằng ông sẽ vết họ. Cô dừng lại anh ta, khá quyết liệt tôi có thể thêm. Nó làm việc, mặc dù, và ông calmed xuống một chút. Tất cả các ngày dài, giống như những ngày gần đây, ông nhấn mạnh vào việc giữ các bé trai gần với anh ta ngay cả khi ông chắc rằng ông đã không làm cho bất kỳ da tiếp xúc. Ông thậm chí không cho Haruka để giúp anh ta cho ăn chúng. Nhưng khác với đó, Takaba-sama chỉ cần làm những điều bình thường; làm sạch, nấu ăn, rửa."Asami chỉ gật đầu tại báo cáo. Bởi bây giờ, báo cáo không gây bất ngờ anh ta nữa."Bạn có thể đi, Nanano. Tôi tin bạn cần phải giám sát những người đàn ông để làm sạch phòng lí bẩn thỉu đó."Nanano cúi và trái.Đêm sau khi Akihito đã được cứu thoát, Asami đã xem những đau đớn và tội lỗi nhấp nháy trong Akihito của mắt như bác sĩ giải thích ảnh hưởng của chấn thương của Nao. EMI, và có lẽ cũng do ảnh hưởng từ Akihito bắt Nao sau khi Goro đã giảm xuống những em bé, đã làm hư hại một dây thần kinh trong não của cánh tay phải. Các bác sĩ đã nói với họ không phải lo lắng quá nhiều. Họ tin rằng đã có xác suất cao Nao có thể sử dụng cánh tay phải của mình để làm hoạt động bình thường hàng ngày, thậm chí để làm thể thao. Tuy nhiên, nó có thể ảnh hưởng đến bất kỳ hoạt động nào yêu cầu tay để hoàn toàn ổn định. Họ đã làm tất cả mọi thứ mà họ có thể cho bây giờ, các bác sĩ đã nói. Bác sĩ cũng đã đề xuất liên tục vật lý trị liệu. Trong bao lâu, bác sĩ không thể chắc chắn.Trong thời gian của đường về nhà, Akihito đã sternly từ chối Kirishima và của Asami cung cấp để giúp giữ Nao. Ngay cả sau khi Akihito đã bắt đầu rơi vào giấc ngủ trong xe limo, bất cứ khi nào Asami đã cố gắng để lặng lẽ đưa Nao ra khỏi Akihito, cố gắng để làm cho Akihito ngủ trong một vị trí thoải mái hơn, người yêu của mình ngay lập tức đã giật mình tỉnh táo và kéo Nao gần gũi hơn. Akihito của cơ thể đã ngay lập tức stiffened trong một chế độ sinh tồn như thể chuẩn bị cho mình hoặc để chiến đấu hoặc chạy trốn với đứa bé.Phản ứng bản năng đã tức giận Asami, một phần vì nó đã làm cho anh ta cảm thấy như thể Akihito không thể tin tưởng anh ta đủ để bảo vệ gia đình nhỏ của họ, mà là một lời nhắc nhở mạnh của sự thất bại của mình, nhưng chủ yếu là vì ông có thể làm cho không có gì nhiều bây giờ khác hơn so với hỗ trợ Akihito. Tức giận là một understatement của Asami thực sự cảm thấy thế nào. Ông muốn làm tổn thương một ai đó, giết người, cần một nơi nào đó để kênh tất cả ông fury không kiểm soát. Nếu nó đã có thể, Asami nào đã mang lại những người chịu trách nhiệm từ vùng đất của cái chết để rằng ông có thể tra tấn và giết họ hơn và hơn nữa. Nhưng nó sẽ không giúp đỡ Akihito. Điều duy nhất ông có thể làm bây giờ kiên nhẫn chờ đợi cho Akihito để vượt qua cơn ác mộng này. Thật không may, sự kiên nhẫn không của Asami mạnh nhất forte bất cứ khi nào Akihito đã được tham gia.Phần tồi tệ nhất là làm thế nào Akihito cảm thấy như tainting con trai của họ bằng cách chạm vào chúng. Điều gì là một ý tưởng ngu ngốc! Chết tiệt. Nếu tay một lần đã được bao phủ với máu có thể làm ô nhiễm bất cứ ai, Akihito đã không cần phải rất sợ về tainting các chàng trai. Bởi vì trong trường hợp đó, con trai của họ có bị nhiễm độc với vòng tròn thứ chín của địa ngục mỗi khi Asami Giữ trẻ sơ sinh. Trong thực tế, máu có thể là một trong những điều tinh khiết nhất có bảo hiểm của Asami tay.The first time Asami had accidentally caught Akihito washing his hands with strong bleach until it had bled, Asami had almost hit Akihito in his anger. And since then, they had caught Akihito doing that whenever his lover thought that no one'd watched.

His hands are so red from irritation already and I can't let him hurt himself even further. I am sorry that I didn't ask for your advice beforehand, Asami-sama. If you feel that I have crossed my-"Ông nhanh chóng cắt lời xin lỗi với một lắc nhẹ nhàng đầu của ông, "không có không cần phải xin lỗi, Haruka. Bạn đã làm đúng. Cảm ơn bạn."Sau khi một cánh cung sâu và tôn trọng, Haruka đi để lại, nhưng trước khi nó đi đến cửa, Asami quyêt tâm của mình và dừng lại cô ấy. "Haruka, chờ một chút. Có thể bạn vui lòng mang theo các bé trai về phòng của họ?""Tôi xin lỗi, thưa ngài? Nếu chúng tôi có cả hai đều từ Takaba-sama, ông-""Ông sẽ bị phạt," Asami scowled. Ông đã mất kiên nhẫn của ông. Đó là thời gian cho Akihito phải đối mặt với sự thật, không có vấn đề ông đã sẵn sàng hay không. Asami đã quyết định rằng chơi cùng với Akihito của lương tâm tội lỗi sẽ không giúp người yêu của mình để nhận ra như thế nào sai là để tiếp tục chạy đi từ thực tế. Đôi khi, những gì Akihito cần thiết để có thể chấp nhận thực tế là một thanh thay vì một củ cà rốt.Trước khi Haruka có thể tranh luận bất kỳ hơn nữa, Asami strode hướng tới đáy. Âm thầm, ông loại bỏ cánh tay của Akihito từ xung quanh thành phố Nao và Rikiya, dùng những đứa trẻ từ ôm hôn người yêu của mình. Ông đã gần như thành công khi Akihito bằng cách nào đó cảm thấy sự chuyển động và đột nhiên giật mình tỉnh táo, lúc đầu tiên nhìn vào anh ta như thể Asami là một con chó điên đói đang cố gắng để kéo con trai của họ đi để được ăn cho bữa ăn tối sau đó. Nhưng khi Akihito nhận ra nó là Asami, ông thoải mái một chút mặc dù ông vẫn còn xem Asami thận trọng.Asami quickly yet gently pulled both babies from Akihito before his lover could do anything to prevent it, exploiting Akihito's confusion after being woken so suddenly. The sudden movement stirred the twins from their slumber. They apparently didn't like being woken from their nap.
