Fuji made it to Ruka just in time to grab him around the waist holding him back, the younger man's screams breaking his heart. The way he was struggling and screaming, tears flowing, chipped away at Fuji's tough exterior and he wanted to cry himself. Everything had happened so fast it was hard to comprehend. He was waiting with sickening dread for Fujimaru to get up. He’d seen the knife and knew there was no way Daisuike could dodge it. Things couldn’t end this way. They just couldn’t. Ruka needed Daisuike.

Daisuike groaned and pushed the now limp Fujimaru off him. His hand was slick with blood, his shirt and pants already soaked. He winced feeling the pain in his shoulder. Sitting up he looked down at it. Just a gash. Nothing a few stitches wouldn't take care of. Swaying he got to his feet seeing Fuji holding Ruka back. He blinked not sure what was going on. He made it a few steps from Fujimaru's body the blackness gathering again. He couldn't pass out now.

Masa blinked watching as Suke pushed Fujimaru's body off him and stood, barely taking a step before he started to go down again. Rushing forward, he caught him before he could slam face first into the ground. The overwhelming stench of blood made Masa gag as did the warm slick feel of Daisuike’s shirt. He couldn’t tell whose blood it was or how badly hurt Daisuike was. All he knew was that Fujimaru wasn’t moving.

Fuji held the sobbing mess that was Ruka in his arms, soothing him. The tears were mainly of relief but it still hurt to hear him crying. Lifting him up, Fuji looked around at everyone.

"Thank you for coming. Even if it was unnecessary, it truly helped. We are in your debt." The racers all murmured seemingly happy as they got back into their cars taking off again. Only the non-descript cars were left.

"We'll take the body. If the Kobayashi Clan wants it we'll let them have it." Two men stepped forward taking hold of Fujimaru then looked around, "We'll clean up here."

"Th-Thanks."

Heading to his car he placed Ruka in the back before going to help Masa carry Daisuike, "Sit in the back, I'll lay Suke down on you two." Masa nodded and climbed inside helping pull Daisuike into the car.

***

Fuji groaned as he stepped through the threshold of the apartment. It wasn't that Daisuike was heavy but he was awkward to hold. He saw Ruka rush to the bathroom, getting towels laying them about the couch. He was probably afraid Daisuike would kill him if they got blood on the floors or furniture.

"Just lay him- Yeah. . ." Ruka collapsed next to Suke, feeling sick.

"I think you should call a doctor."

"Okay. . ." Fuji sighed. That meant he was doing it. Ruka looked ready to pass out.

"Are you okay Ruka?"

"I will be. . . Eventually."

Daisuike groaned trying to sit up. His head was killing him and why did it hurt to swallow. His shoulder was on fire and the smell of blood was everywhere. He blinked a few times looking around realizing they were back at the apartment. He spotted Ruka.

"Ru . . ." His hand went to his throat. It hurt to talk even and he glanced down seeing all the blood. The memory flooded his senses and he started shaking. "Ru . . . ka."

"Shh, shh, it's okay." Ruka smiled softly touching Suke's face. Shifting down he knelt beside the couch stroking his cheek kissing him gently, "It's okay." Ruka was breathing a bit hard and he realized he needed to get Suke out of the bloody clothes.

"Masa-"

"Already on it."

Leaning over he smiled softly at Suke started to remove his shirt. Fuji had already brought a trashcan over for him to dump the clothes in.

"Please don't ever scare me like that again. . ." Ruka leaned closer feeling a bit weak.

"Ruka do you want me to finish what you're doing?"

"No- I . . .I want to."

Fuji nodded sitting near the couch watching Masa bring a fresh pair of sweats and a t-shirt over.

"Fuji is the doctor on his way?"

"Yeah."

Ruka nodded continuing to remove Suke's clothes.

Daisuike hissed as the fabric came loose tearing the cut open again, blood running freely down his arm. Scare Ruka, how about not scare Daisuike, he thought to himself. He was still shaking. He wanted to touch Ruka so badly but didn't want to get blood on him.

Ruka glared for a moment, "We need to use the shower, he's completely-"

"I get it, can we not talk about how much blood there is?" Fuji was gunna be a bit sick and he didn't want to hear anymore of it. Staring in shock Fuji watched Ruka pick Daisuike up carrying him to another bathroom. Deciding to give them the privacy they needed Fuji started to clean up the room.

"So. . . Can I raid his fridge?" Masa was already on the way to it before Fuji could answer.

Quickly stripping Daisuike of his clothes he moved him to the tub sitting him in it and grabbed the shower head getting the water to a lukewarm temperature.

Carefully he started to clean him up worried about the cut. Grabbing a wash cloth he placed it on the wound gently to stop the bleeding as he moved to finish cleaning him up.

"I'm so sorry Daisuike. . . I'm really sorry. . ."

Daisuike shook his head, his voice raspy, "No, nothing . . . you didn't do anything. It's over. No more."

He looked up at Ruka his eyes pleading. Fujimaru was dead this time. He was certain of it. He just wanted to put this behind him and get on with his life. He slowly reached up running his fingers over the bruise on Ruka's lip.

"My fault."

Ruka shook his head leaning close and kissing Suke softly on the lips, "Hush. . ." Setting the shower head on the stand he started to gently use soap to clean Daisuike up. Once finished he rinsed him off helping him stand.

"Can you stand alone while I dry you off?" He wasn't sure how injured Daisuike was and it scared him.

Daisuike nodded making sure to keep pressure applied to the cut on his arm. It was throbbing now and he really wanted to go lay down. Today had been entirely too stressful and then nearly getting strangled had kind of worn him out. He stumbled slightly catching himself on the wall. He hated being this weak and making Ruka have to take care of him. Ruka had taken care of him long enough. It was his turn now.

Ruka smiled as he dried Suke off helping him put the clothes on that Masa had left them. Smiling once he was done he scooped Suke up carrying him out of the bathroom seeing a doctor in his living room.

"Umm. . . Hello."

"Hello, Fuji here called me. Is this the man I'm looking at?"

"Yeah, hold on. . ." He blushed a bit setting Suke down on the couch sitting next to him.

"What happened?" The man reached over removing the rag looking at the cut frowning and digging through his bag.

"He was cut, what does it look like?" Ruka growled softly not happy.

"Okay Okay. He just needs a few stitches. A butterfly should work." Taking out the necessary items he smiled at Suke, "This will only hurt a little."

Daisuike couldn't look at the doctor his face burning. He didn't understand why Ruka enjoyed carrying him around so much, even if it did feel nice to be held by him. He flinched as the doctor started cleaning the wound.

"Ruka, why don't have the doctor check that head wound. I can see the blood in your hair."

Once the doctor was done with him, Daisuike moved out of the way so Ruka could be seen to. His whole body was trembling with fatigue but he knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep just yet.

"Hanase! Itai!" Ruka whined softly and and Fuji just laughed at his useless struggle as he held him still.

Daisuike frowned hearing Ruka in pain. He absolutely could not handle that right now. He was still too near the edge he'd almost went over not that long ago and didn't want to break down in front of everyone. "Oi! I think that is enough. Fuji let him up. I need something to drink."

Fuji frowned but released Ruka, who frowned following Daisuike into the kitchen as the doctor let himself out. Watching Daisuike get some water and drink it he gave him a moment to finish it before he moved over wrapping his arms around him kissing him hard, instantly deepening it. He didn't care that Masa was at their kitchen table eating all their leftovers, right now all he cared about was the need to touch and make sure Daisuike was truly there.

"Thank you. . .Thank you. . ."

Masa blinked watching Ruka and Daisuike feeling his cheeks get warm as he paused in his eating. It was. . . strange to see them like that. Suddenly his vision went black and he blinked feeling a hand cover his eyes.

"Oi! Guys, there are children present!"

Ruka growled looking back towards where Fuji was covering Masa’s eyes. "So!? He has to learn about sex somehow."

Masa felt his face get even warmer and he was glad Fuji was covering his eyes, his hand large enough to cover some of his face.

Daisuike gently slipped out of Ruka's grasp whispering to him. "Fuji's right, Ruka. I'm not going anywhere. Besides you need to rest now."

He kissed him softly on the cheek before leading him back to the living room so they could sit. He glanced at Masa as they walked by and shook his head slightly. So much for not having to cook today. He shrugged it off. Cooking would be therapeutic.

"Ne! Daisuike! You made this right!? Right~!?"

"Oh god. . ." Ruka groaned hiding his head under his arms as Masa continued to speak.

"Will you make me food like this more often? Can I come over and eat your leftovers for you?"

"Will you shut your mouth Masa? We all got headaches probably." Fuji glared at him

"Yes, please keep it down Masa. . ."

"But. . . But the food is good. . ." Looking towards the fridge then Daisuike he frowned, "Is there anymore?"

"We had like 4 containers."

"Yeah?"

Ruka just groaned hiding further under his arms.

Daisuike sighed, he might as well get started now. He had a feeling there would be quite a group of people showing up to check on Ruka once word got out about what had happened. Heading back into the kitchen he found the apron he'd brought from home and tied it on. Opening the fridge he glared.

"Oi! Masa . . . you are going to take me to the nearest store that is open and you are going to help me restock the fridge." Daisuike looked over his shoulder his eyes narrowed slightly. He might be dead on his feet but he wouldn't stand for there not being any food in the house. That and he desperately need to do something very normal and mundane right now. The urge to find the alcohol and do what he normally did after killing someone was getting too strong to ignore.

Masa stared with large eyes, food still in his mouth. Daisuike wasn't serious? Right? Right!?

"He's serious Masa."

"Yeah, I wouldn't fuck with the Yakuza."

"H-Hai. . ." Swallowing the last of his food, Masa got up pouting staring longing at the food still on the table then remembered something, "Are you sure you want to drive with me?"

Ruka glared then stood up, "I'll take you Daisuike, even though I think you should just lay down. Let's just order other food. That sound okay?" He really wasn't up for driving nor did he want to go out. Honestly he wanted everyone out of the house.

Daisuike looked over at Ruka his gaze softening. "Sorry Ruka, but no. Masa can ride with me, we will take my truck. I want you to go lay down and just rest. No. No arguing. Fuji will you make sure he gets some rest. Masa and I will be back shortly."

He knew that Ruka needed several hours worth of sleep and he wasn't going to get it unless everyone was either gone or sleeping themselves. Stripping the apron off he tossed it over one of the bar stools. He looked down at Masa.

"Lets go."

Fuji nodded helping Ruka up, who looked a bit weak. He knew that Ruka wasn't happy but he wasn't going to argue with Daisuike. Watching Masa snag an apple, he laughed watching him follow Daisuike out.

"So. . . You live with Ruka, right?" Masa asked around chewing his food. He wasn't as hungry as he was before but he could eat Suke's cooking anytime anywhere. Even if he was full. "I was surprised when we got into his house that everything was changed. I knew Ruka was scared to change it. Not sure why I mean before he'd do anything to get his parents attention and trashing the furniture that his step-mother had put into the apartment would've been something he would've done before."

Masa followed Suke to his truck eying it. "I'm not riding in that. We'll take Fuji's car."

"I am staying with Ruka, but I live with my brothers. We decided to change the furniture when he asked me to stay with him while I recovered." He grabbed Masa's shoulder as he started off toward where Fuji's sleek little racer was parked. "No, we are not. I'm not driving that thing and I'm not riding while you drive. Now get in."

Masa hissed but relented cringing as he got inside the truck. Sure it was nice and stuff but letting someone else drive something so-so ridiculously big was insane. He was not going to enjoy it. Though he wondered if it was possible to drift in it.

Looking around the car he frowned for a moment wondering something, "Can you drift? Or do you have another car for that?"

Daisuike chucked as he got buckled and started the engine, the turbo diesel rumbling to life. "No, I don't race at all. This is for something else entirely. I've never been one for sitting on the ground anyway. I like to be able to see where I"m going." He glanced over at Masa. "This is for work, not for play."

He pulled out of the parking garage glad that this early in the morning traffic was nonexistent. "Ano, I'm not sure where we need to go actually."

Touching a button on the console the retractable screen slid out and the GPS lit up. "Here put in the name of a 24 hour store."

"Okay." Masa was slightly impressed that there were so many gadgets in the truck taking the screen and putting in the name. "It's not too far from here." He slid the screen back, leaning back some still admiring the truck.

"So wait. . . You don't race? At all?" He blinked in shock and confusion at Daisuike. Ruka was dating someone who didn't race? That wasn't entirely shocking but he had thought he was. Sure Ruka had dated quite a few people who didn't race but it was still strange.

"Well. . . I guess your day job keeps you busy and all anyways."

"Eto, no I don't." Daisuike cringed thinking about the fiasco at Hoshi's when they'd went to pick up Ruka's new cars. "Yeah, though I've been given time off for a while."

He glanced over at Masa as he drove feeling the need to say something. "I really appreciate you and Fuji helping me today and I hope I can earn your trust in the future."

Masa nodded, "You earned it pretty well today I think. I think it was just a shock that well. . . Ruka getting kidnapped. He's never been in danger like that before and it scared us. Ruka means a lot to us, he's like part of our family." Sighing he leaned back some looking at Daisuike. "You just better take care of him. He's totally in love with you and will do literally anything to make you happy. The apartment was a pretty big example of that. We've been telling him for years to change it, but he said he was fine just staying in his room. At least he changed that room on his own." Masa sighed rubbing his temples softly, "At first Ruka refused to even live there. He stayed over at Sono's for a long time but finally decided he could try and live there and he finally snapped and changed the bedroom. I'm glad you're helping him. He's had a pretty rough life Daisuike and he deserves to be loved. Truly and honestly loved."

Seeing that they were at the store he smiled softly, "Let's grab some food!"

Daisuike nodded and parked the truck his mind still going over what Masa had said. He would do everything humanly possible to take the best care of Ruka. It was nice to hear that others could see how much they loved each other. Walking into the store he grabbed a couple of baskets and handed one to Masa. He would try to fix things with Sono at some point in time. Hopefully.

"Come on, I want to hurry up and get back." He was already planning breakfast, lunch and dinner in his head and tripling what he thought he might need.

Masa whined softly as they passed along the isles wanting to grab stuff and put it into the basket. He had tried and just a simple stern look from Suke made him flinch and he mournfully put the items back. It wasn't fair. At least Fuji would usually let him get other stuff too! Then again Fuji made him pay double of what it cost, but the candy and drinks had been worth it. Usually. Except the one time he puked after he pulled a 360. Then Fuji had refused to ever let him drive again after eating. When Suke finished getting what he needed he sighed as they headed back, wondering how many people Daisuike was cooking for. Though it looked like it was enough for the four of them. Opening the front door he sighed seeing Fuji relaxing on the couch.

"He sleepin'?"

"Yeah." Nodding he moved to the kitchen putting stuff away.

Daisuike finished putting the food away and set about making breakfast. He wanted to make sure that Ruka had a perfect breakfast when he woke up. Then he decided he might as well work on lunch while he was up. The sound of Fuji and Masa chatting gradually faded, but he didn’t pay any attention. He got dizzy a few times, but shook it off focused on making the food. As long as he focused on that he didn't have to think about seeing Ruka bleeding or being hit by Fujimaru or hear him sobbing. If he just kept busy it all faded away.


Ruka groaned, waking slowly rubbing at his eyes even though they hurt. Carefully he stood up and started out the bedroom, blinking as he stared about. Fuji and Masa were crashed out on the couch and Suke was-Was he cooking?

"Ouji-sama, what are you doing?" He walked slowly towards the kitchen. There was already a lot of food yet he was still cooking.

Daisuike turned away from the stove leaning against it for support. "Ohayo I made breakfast for everyone. Though it seems they are still asleep. I'm making dorayaki for Reiko. It's her favorite. She’s coming over with Jiro and everyone. I think."

He gestured toward the heaping plate of dorayaki. "I've got her some cookies in the oven too and more miso. I made grilled salmon, sukiyaki, onigiri, and several sushi rolls though I think we are out of rice now. If you don't want that there is tempura shrimp or chicken or beef teriyaki and grilled vegetables. There is anko and anmitsu for dessert as well." He frowned seeing the look on Ruka's face and hurriedly added, "If-if you don't want that I'll make something else."

"What are you doing Daisuike. . ." Ruka’s voice was soft as he walked over to him turning the stove off, pulling him away from it, helping to hold him up. "Why did you make so much food?" Reaching up he stroked Suke's cheek softly leaning in to kiss him.

"What's wrong?" He was quickly finding out that cooking was a way for Daisuike to push everything out and focus only on that. He was kind of scared too. Something had to be wrong in order for him to make this much food.

Daisuike blinked trying to keep Ruka's face in focus. It was such a nice face with beautiful eyes, perfect straight nose and gorgeous mouth. "I didn't want anyone to get hungry and . . . and I wasn't sure how many people were going to be over. You do have a lot of friends you know and I didn't want anyone to be disappointed, enough people are disappointed with me getting you hurt and I don't want all of your friends hating me, though they have good reason to not like me, I've not been anything but trouble for you since the first night we met and I really don't understand why you still put up with me, though I'm happy you try, I just want you to be happy you know that's really all I care about, it's why I made all the food. So your friends would be happy and then maybe you would be happy to . . . ne?"

Ruka stared at Suke listening to him completely ramble on. Blinking a few times letting his somewhat fast words sink in, he sighed stepping back and scooping Daisuike up into his arms carrying him away from the kitchen towards the bedroom.

"You're an idiot sometimes you know that? No one is disappointed with you and the trouble is worth it." Sighing he nuzzled Suke's neck softly kissing it, "Just being around you makes me happy, so never think that you have to do anything to make me love you."

Stepping inside the bedroom he set him on the bed. Shifting Daisuike he laid him back covering him up.

"You need sleep. . ." So did he though, so he moved climbed under the covers snuggling against Daisuike, "Me too. . ."

Daisuike struggled weakly his body feeling leaden, "No wait. I still have things to finish, the cookies, there are cookies in the oven, they will burn and Reiko will not be happy. Just let me go get them out."

He didn't want to go to sleep not yet, there were still things he could be doing, though Ruka felt so good against him. So warm, those strong arms wrapped around him. "Just let me . . ."

"No, you're staying right here." Reaching up he covered Suke's ears yelling, "MASA! Get the cookies out of the oven!" He knew the guy would wake up if he mentioned food. He hoped that he didn't eat the majority of the food before they woke up. He could hear cursing and a thump against something, assuming Masa hit the coffee table with his shin. Next he heard the oven open and more cursing but it slam shut, more grumbling then another thump and then Fuji cursing. He loved those guys but they were stupid when tired. Uncovering his ears he smiled wrapping his leg around Suke's keeping his arms tightly around him.

"You're not going anywhere. Just get some rest Ouji-sama."

Daisuike didn't have the energy to argue any further and found himself snuggling deeper into Ruka. His voice was soft and slurred with exhaustion, his eyes slowly closing.

"Was so worried, so worried. Even let Masa drive today, had to hurry, had to make sure you were alright. Had to kill Fujimaru. Wish I could kill him again and take longer."

Ruka sighed burying a hand into Suke's hair holding him closer, feeling a slight shake overtake his body. Burying his face against those beautiful dark locks he sighed, breathing in the smell of Suke.

"I know. . . I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Daisuike." He smiled softly kissing his hair, "You were brave though, very brave. Thank you for saving us." Clutching Suke against him tighter he exhaled a shaky breath. It was all too real that Fujimaru could've killed them all and there wouldn't have been anything any of them could've done. He was just glad that his friends had helped Daisuike when it was needed. He just wished he could kill Fujimaru. No one touched his lover and got away with it.

Daisuike nodded slowly, his eyes closed as he was quickly drifting to sleep. "Good idea Fuji had . . . saved my ass . . ."

He'd have to remember to thank him and Masa later for the help. He couldn't have done it without them and everyone would be dead now.

Ruka groaned softly shifting, then moaned softly as part of Suke's body brushed against him. With a grin he snaked a hand down Suke's body stroking him softly. Even as a waking thought he wanted to bring Daisuike pleasure.

"Mmm, Suke. . ." He nuzzled closer really wanting to do something entirely inappropriate. Ruka grinned feeling Suke getting even harder under his hand and kissed his neck softly feeling that toned body press unconsciously into him. He was getting far too worked up doing this and he cursed loudly as there was a knock on the door. Scrambling he hissed in anger as Masa walked in.

"I don't even want to know. . ."

"You shouldn't walk into people's bedrooms without asking!"

"I knocked though."

Ruka just hissed glaring at him, "What do you want?" He sighed as Masa moved over to the bed sitting down next to him.

"You realize Daisuike cooked all the food in the house. Why did he do that?"

Sitting up fully, smiling as Suke curled around him some Ruka played with his hair gently, "I have no idea. I think he just sort of zoned out after everything that happened." Prodding Suke softly he nudged him, "Ne, Suke, wake up. We have company here, remember."

"Wha-" Daisuike mumbled into the pillow. He was still so sleepy and Ruka smelled so very good. Why were people bothering him by wanting him to wake up? He wrapped an arm around Ruka's waist pulling him a bit closer smiling as he brushed him through his boxers.

Ruka instantly stiffened feeling a wave of pleasure go through him and his face turning a dark red. He tried to hide his reaction but it was hard to hide it. Not only was it arousing to him but knowing someone was watching gave him such a thrill.

Seeing Masa shifting uncomfortably and averting his gaze, he saw the faint blush on his cheeks as well and knew he realized what Suke was doing. Not wanting to embarrass him, he tried to discreetly move Suke's hand.

"Need you- Ahh-" Ruka bit his lip feeling Suke move his hand back, which brushed against him. He was hard as it was and it was not helping his problem in the slightly.

"Sh-should I leave you two alone?" Masa got up off the bed, careful not to look at them.

Daisuike jerked his head up hearing Masa’s voice his face instantly burning and he scrambled up making sure to keep the sheets up around them.

"Sh-shit! Masa . . . I didn't . . . s-sorry." He kept his eyes firmly fixed on the bed in front of him. "What . . . what were you needing?"

“Nothing, it’s just your phone keeps ringing and I thought you might want to know.”

Daisuikd rubbed the back of his head, further messing up his hair as he glanced toward Ruka. "Oh! Yeah- Umm. . . I sort of invited everyone over here. . ."

"Oh. . .Will there be enough food?" Ruka frowned having an odd but somewhat happy feeling inside that Daisuike invited everyone over.

"I'll- Umm. . . Leave you two alone now. Go back to having your alone time." Masa shook his head as he left the room.

Instantly Ruka turned to pounce Suke slipping between his legs and pinning his arms next to his head.

"God you have no idea how badly I'm turned on now . . ." He grinned wickedly before nipping at anywhere his mouth could reach.

Daisuike yelped softly as Ruka's teeth sent a rush of pleasure through him. "It-itai, easy Ru-aaah."

He writhed under Ruka not really trying to get away enjoying the feeling of being under him too much. He could feel Ruka's erection pressed against him and it made him whine. As much as he hated to stop, they did have company coming.

"Ru-ah-Ruka . . . we need to get up."

"Mmm, I think not. . ." He grinned against the soft smooth skin of Suke's neck before bitting a bit harder before shifting up some to grab hold of both Suke's wrist with one hand leaning back down crushing his lips against his. Slowly he started to deepen the kiss, enjoying the pure taste of Daisuike, rolling his hips against his. The need for him was intense but he knew that them going all the way would be bad. Especially since he wasn't sure he could handle topping at the moment and Suke was too reluctant to do anything remotely close to sex.

"Wa-wait." Daisuike found his protests dying into groans as Ruka's hips ground into his, the kiss sending a burning desire through him. The thought of never talking to or kissing or holding Ruka again had terrified him, being here with him now was almost dreamlike. He kind of wished that no one was coming over so he could just enjoy being with him. Though it would be nice to see everyone too.

"We don't really have time . . ."

Ruka whined softly, "Why not?" He smirked gently against Suke's neck grabbing one of his legs tugging him so that it rested around his waist. Pressing into him more he moaned softly against his neck, grabbing his hip with his free hand. His mind was reeling and he wanted nothing more than to continue to do this.

Why was he trying to make them stop?

"N-never mind." Daisuike whined, shuddering the feel becoming to much. The guests could take care of themselves for the moment. His hips came up to meet Ruka and he moaned at the sensation. He really wanted out of his boxers now, they were getting in the way. That and he wanted Ruka out of his was well. Why would he ever say no to Ruka?

"Oohh . . . oh, Ruka . . . m-more!"

Ruka grinned wickedly down at Suke loving the way he was moaning so gently. It made him feel good inside to know he was making his lover feel so good. Reaching down he pushed away both their boxers grinning at how hard they were.

"Seems you've been enjoying yourself. . ." Nipping at his collarbone Ruka released his wrists moving down is chest as he nipped anywhere and everywhere he could paying special attention to his sensitive spots.

"I wonder. . . Can you be quiet when your whole family and our friends are here? Mmm?" His voice was dark and husky and he was excited to make him squirm.

Daisuike breath caught in his throat for a moment and he stared up at Ruka before grabbing him crushing their lips together. He didn't care who heard them, right now he just wanted Ruka in the worst way possible.

"Oh god Ruka, I was so scared last night." He ran his hands over the muscular shoulders and back. "Please . . . please help me forget it."

Ruka tensed feeling his ache heart last night. He wasn't the only one who was scared. Daisuike had endure knowing that they were in the hands of a madman, to hear his screams and to know that they were being hurt.

Taking a hand into Suke's hair he pressed his lips against Suke's again, slowly kissing him. "Shh, it's okay now. We're okay. I'm here and I'm fine. . ." Kissing his cheek and jaw and face he planted a soft, lingering kiss on his cheek.

"I love you and I won't let you be hurt like that again. . . I'm sorry." Taking them both into his hand he started to stroke them, knowing Suke needed to feel good, to forget what had happened. And he would do that and then some.

Daisuike's head went back against the pillow as his back arched. His hips rising into Ruka's hard smooth strokes. Soft cries were tearing past his lips the feel of Ruka heightened by the knowledge he might never have felt this again. It made him a little desperate his fingers digging into Ruka's hips.

Ruka gasped enjoying the way Suke was gripping him. It made all this far more real and that much more intense. To think he was so close of never being able to do this again with the man he loved, it pained him deeply.

"Daisuike. . . Daisuike. . . "

He couldn't get enough of saying his name, the way it rolled off his tongue made him happy. Kissing and nipping his neck Ruka sighed trying hard to hold back his own moans of pleasure. At this rate he was going to go off far too soon.

Daisuike shuddered then cried out as his whole body clenched driven over the edge. He clung to Ruka unable to contain the cries just loosing himself in the feel, loosing himself in Ruka.

"Ahh . . . ohgod Ruka!"

Ruka groaned softly feeling Suke go over, which in turn caused him to go over. Burying his face in his neck he groaned his name, over and over again, panting heavily. It was so hard not to lose himself completely and try to go again, but he realized they did have guests over.

Pulling apart slightly he cleaned them up but quickly moved back clinging to Daisuike. He suddenly felt tears start to fall and sobs started to come up.

"D-Don't ever- ever scare me- like that- please!" He felt stupid for sobbing like he was but to think if he lost Daisuike. . . He'd honestly have no point in living anymore.

Feeling tears stinging his own eyes, Daisuike held Ruka close stroking his arm a hand buried in his hair.

"I won't. Ever. I promise. No matter what I have to do Ruka I will always be with you. Always." Daisuike kissed his temple feeling his heartbeat fluttering under his lips. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I would have given anything to never have let you experience that."

"I- I don't care about that!" Ruka took a shuddering breath pulling back and planting a bruising kiss against his lips, "I- I don't want to lose you! When I saw you appear that those doors my heart sank. I don't-" He'd never voice that he wouldn't live without the other if he died, but he wanted to let Daisuike know he needed him in the most raw and intense way possible. "I can't lose you Daisuike. ."

"You won't Ruka, you won't. I promise you I'm not going anywhere. I . . . I made sure I had a back up plan. I wasn't going to risk it by myself. I'm not going to do anything that might hurt you in any way Ruka. It's why I made sure I had plenty of help. I'm not suicidal." He kissed the top of Ruka's head softly adding. "Not since I met you."

Ruka sobbed even harder for a moment, needing to let it all out. He'd been holding it all in, ever since Daisuike had entered that factory. It hurt so bad to think he could've lost him. He had almost lost him and he wanted to hurt something and cry at the same time.

Finally the tears stopped and he blinked hearing the doorbell, "I think that's them. Let's get cleaned up first." He grinned wickedly at Daisuike, happy.


Masa sighed. He did not want to hear what had happened in the bedroom. Thankfully the TV drowned out most the noise but the last cries had gotten through. Both of them shifted uncomfortably refusing to look at each other. Hearing the doorbell Fuji got up, "I'll get it."

Heading to it he opened the door seeing Akira with everyone, "Hey! Come in?"

"Ano, where are Suke and Ruka?" Jiro looked slightly puzzled as Haru, Akira and Reiko stood behind him.

"They're umm. . . changing right now." Fuji hoped they were changing after that.

"Hey! I smell food." Jiro smiled hearing Hasu from behind them in the hallway.

"We better move out of the entry way guys."

"Yeah! There's lots of food! Tons and tons!" Masa smiled getting up seeing everyone coming in

"Oi! Who's doing introductions without me!"

"We are you lazy ass." Masa grinned at Ruka waving at him, "Can we eat yet!?" Fuji glared at him smacking him upside the head.

"You already ate some of it."

"But I'm still hungry!"

"You also ate all the left overs several hours ago."

"I'm telling you, I'm still hungry!!!" Masa whined pawing at Fuji, "Please?! Ruka!! Come on! It's been torturing me all morning!"

"You son of a- Just hold your damn horses!"

Daisuike came out of the bedroom just in time to see Hasu slip around Jiro making strait for the table full of food.

"Oi! Hasu, none of that!" Hasu stopped dead and smiled sheepishly.

"Ano, hi Suke."

"Hi, go sit in the living room with everyone else I'll be around with the food soon."

"Ano ok."

Quickly Daisuike tied his apron on and got out his serving trays. He could see Ruka talking with everyone and blushed softly just looking at him. Arranging the trays he started for the living room grinning happy to serve his family and friends and hopefully make Ruka happy.
