Chapter Eighteen:

Ryuu wanted more than anything to do what he had threatened Naru with before they had boarded the plane, but it seemed like he would have to postpone his plan until they reached Tokyo since Naru had fallen asleep as soon as the plane took off. Without much of a choice, he occupied his time reading the report Christopher had left with him.

Naru sat quietly in his seat, pretending to be asleep. Once in a while, he would sneak a peek at his boss, just to see what he was up to. Naru stared at Ryuu with a warm smile. “Your ass is mine. ” He kept recalling Ryuu’s words. When his boss had whispered those words to him, he had felt his heart race like he had been running a long distance marathon.

“So Boss, when do you plan to claim my ass?” Naru asked with a teasing grin, no longer pretending to be asleep.

“You’re awake Naru,” Ryuu said, looking up from his report.

“I was never asleep in the first place,” replied Naru. “We’ve been on the plan for two hours now Boss and you still haven't claimed my ass as yet. Was that just a threat to make me behave myself on the plane when I was here looking forward to it?  Don't you know that it’s not nice to make your boyfriend wait?” he teased, grinning widely.

Ryuu smiled. “Yes Naru, it was just a threat,” he lied. “We could try having sex in the rest room if you want. What do you say Naru?” he asked with a wicked smile.

“No!” Naru refused immediately and decided not to tease his boss anymore before things got out of hand.

Ryuu went back to reading his report. He was surprised when Naru leaned over and rested his head on his shoulder. He couldn't resist caressing Naru’s soft black hair. He reached up and did just that.

“Ryuu, I'm thirsty,” said Naru softly, his eyes closed as he enjoyed the way his boss caressed his hair.

“What would you like?” Ryuu asked as he waved the stewardess over to their seat with his other hand.

“Orange juice would be nice and a snack if you don't mind,” Naru answered

“Yes, what do you need Sir?” asked the stewardess when she got to their seats.

“Orange juice,” Ryuu told the stewardess, “and a snack as well,” he added.

“Right away Sir,” the stewardess said and quickly left to get what he had asked for.

“Ryuu, your shoulder feels so comfortable. You don't mind do you if I use it as a pillow?” Naru murmured with his eyes still closed.

“I don't mind,” Ryuu told Naru as he continued to gently caress his hair.

The stewardess returned with the orange juice and snack. Ryuu took them and thanked her. “Here you go,” he said to Naru.

“Thank you Boss,” Naru said as he took the juice and the snack from Ryuu.

Naru drank his juice and nibbled on his snack. When he was done with them, he rested his head back on his boss’s shoulder and ten seconds later he fell asleep. Ryuu waved the stewardess over once more, and asked her for a blanket. He covered

Naru with it and went back to reading his report as Naru slept with a content smile on his face.

“What, Naru is still asleep?” Ray asked his son when he and Haruka returned to their seats which happened to be right behind their son and Naru.

“Yes he is, and where have you two been?” Ryuu asked his parents, even thought he had a pretty good idea of where they had been.

“We can't tell you Ryuu,” Ray answered his son, not willing to disclose that he and Haruka had just made love in the restroom.

“Even if you two don't tell me, I have a pretty good idea where you two were and what you two have been doing. ” Ryuu let his parents know that he knew, then he went right back to reading the rest of his report. His parents went quiet and quickly went to their seats, embarrassed that their son knew what they had been doing.

Rei buried his face in a magazine as he waited for Naoya to return with the keys to their hotel. They had landed two hours ago in England. He had suggested to Naoya that they stay at Rosewood hotel because he wanted them to run into his brother and Naru.

“What are you doing here Rei?”

Rei looked up to see Christopher staring down at him. Christopher was dressed in his usual white suite and red tie and wearing dark sunglasses.

“Sightseeing,” Rei answered.

“Does your brother know that you’re here?” Christopher asked, removing his sunglasses.

“No,” answered Rei. "And don't you dare tell him,” he added right away.

“I don't have to, I'm sure your uncle Kousuki will tell him the moment he reaches Tokyo,” Christopher told Rei.

“What? Ryuu and Naru already left, why so fast?” Rei asked, surprised to hear that his brother and Naru had already left.

“Your parents,” Christopher answered with a grin.

“My parents? They're back!” Rei almost shouted. He couldn't believe his ears. His parents were back and not only that, they had just left with Ryuu and Naru. He was going to be in deep shit with his parents once he returned to Tokyo. Rei bit his lip and cursed just as Naoya came walking towards him with the key to their room.

“Is he bugging you Rei?” Naoya asked the boy, giving the man in the white suit a threatening glare when he reached Rei’s side.

“No, not at all Naoya, Christopher was just telling me that Ryuu and Naru returned to Tokyo early this morning,” Rei explained to Naoya.

Christopher smiled at the handsome older man standing near Rei. “I'm Christopher, Rei’s cousin,” he introduced himself to the man.

Naoya felt relieved on hearing that the man was not a stranger with bad intentions and he was happy to learn that Naru had already returned to Tokyo. He stretched out his hand. “I'm Naoya,” he introduced himself to the Rei’s cousin.

“Nice to meet you Naoya,” Christopher said as he took the older man’s hand and shook it. He looked at his watch and saw that it was time to meet up with a client.

“It was nice seeing you again Rei. Drop by my place before you leave alright?” Christopher said and he left before Rei could even respond.

“Naoya, were you worried about me when you saw my cousin approach me?” Rei asked Naoya after Christopher left.

“I'm responsible for you while we are here. Your parents would have my head if anything happened to you,” replied Naoya with a strict look on his face. "Now come on," he said and made his way to the elevator first. Rei grinned and followed Naoya.

Naoya had gotten them a room with two beds. As soon as they entered and unpacked a few clothes, Rei headed straight to the bathroom for a shower, while Naoya tried to call Makoto again. After trying several times Naoya gave up. He lay down on one of the bed and shut his eyes praying with all his heart that nothing had happened to Makoto.

“I'm done with the shower Naoya,” Rei said when he stepped out of the bathroom in his bathrobe. When he received no reply, he walked over to Naoya and saw that the man had fallen asleep. He bent down and untied Naoya’s shoes. He pulled them off and the socks as well. He stood up and climbed on the bed. He pulled Naoya up and took his jacket off for him.

“There, all done,” Rei said out loud, and let Naoya’s heavy body fall back onto the bed. He crawled out of bed with Naoya’s jacket, and hung it in the closet. He got quite a startle when he turned around to see Naoya staring at him from across the room.

“You’re very pretty Rei, if only I was ten years younger,” Naoya said with a sleepy smile and then he drifted back to sleep.

Rei was overjoyed he twirled around in happiness like a ballerina for a good three minutes before he got dressed and went to bed. He fell asleep staring at the face of the man he loved with a big grin on his face.

“It is so good to be back,” Naru said out loud as they got off the plane and made their way to pick up their luggage.

“I thought that you wanted to stay in England longer Naru,” Ryuu commented as he went past Naru.

“I did,” came Naru’s reply as he ran to catch up to his boss.

Ryuu leaned down as soon as Naru reached him. He whispered into Naru’s ear, “As soon as we get home, your ass is mine.”

“Oh we shall see about that Boss,” Naru whispered back with a challenging grin.

Haruka and Ray observed them from behind. “Those two are quite a couple,” Haruka said, and his husband agreed.

“Look at how close they are to each other. Neither of them seem to be aware that they are almost attached at the hip. Even you and I and don't dare to be that close to each other when in public,” Ray commented and his husband let out a soft chuckle.

“Actually Ray we are just like them,” Haruka told his husband. “Haven't you realized it yet? You’re so slow Ray, just like Ryuu,” he said.

“Hey you two, hurry up or we are going to leave without you,” Ryuu shouted out to his parents. Naru stood beside him nibbling on some snack they just bought.

“We’re coming,” Haruka shouted back and pulled his husband along.

Twenty minutes later, the four of them walked out of the airport and got into a black limousine. The driver was none other than Kousuki himself. “How long has it been since I last saw you two?” asked Kousuki as he drove them to Ryuu’s mansion.

“Five years,” replied Ray.

Kousuki let out a deep chuckle. “Man where did the two of you go?” he couldn't help but ask.

“Many places. ” This time Haruka was the one who replied.

“Can we save the chitchat for later?” Ryuu interrupted them, wanting to get home soon so that he could make love to Naru.

After his interruption the ride to his mansion was quiet. Ryuu glanced down to see Naru deep in thought. He wondered what Naru was thinking.

Naru sat quietly near his boss, his mind filled with many pranks to play on him. Naru was still trying to decide which prank to use even as they arrived at his boss’s mansion. It seemed he would have to decide later on which prank to use next, he thought as the door opened and his boss stepped out before him.

Ryuu put out his hand and Naru took it. "This mansion is really the same size as the one in England," Naru commented when he got out of the limousine.

"They only share the same look from the outside, but the insides are totally different,” Haruka said as he came around to them with Ray by his side.

Haruka leaned over to Naru and whispered, “Ryuu was born and raised in this mansion. That’s why he wanted the mansion in England to resemble this one. Isn't he adorable?”

Naru giggled and agreed with Haruka while Kousuki whispered something into Ryuu’s ear. A scowl instantly formed on Ryuu’s face. He grabbed Naru and led him to the front door with every intention of avoiding his unwanted guest. His huge double front doors swung open just as he reached them, and standing right between them was none other than Luka.

“Luka!” Ryuu growled out at his unwanted guest.

“Ryuu,” said Luka with a smirk. “Still the same as always,” he commented.

“Only to you Luka,” Ryuu retorted. “Now get out of our way,” he commanded in a icy tone.

“Ryuu, don't be rude,” Ray told his son as he and Haruka came up from behind. “Luka, it’s good to see you.”

“It’s good to see you too Ray. I wish I could say the same about your son,” Luka said, his eyes on the young man who was hiding behind Ryuu and peering up at him with curiosity. “May I ask who is the young man hiding behind your son?”

Ryuu didn't answer so Ray answered for him. "This is Naru and he is very special to Ryuu," he told Luka.

Luka put out his hand with a smile. “I’m Luka,” he said to the young man and waited for the young man to shake his hand.

When Naru was seven, his dad had shown him a picture of this man and made him promise to never speak to the man and to avoid the man at all cost if he should ever run into him. Naru didn't understand why his dad warned him away from this man who looked pretty harmless to him, but he made a promise to his dad and he intended to keep it.

Naru peered up at the man from behind his boss’s shoulder. He stared at the man’s outstretched hand and shook his head. Then he went up on tiptoes and whispered into his boss’s ear. “Ryuu I am not allowed to talk to that man. When my father was alive, he told me several times that I was not allowed to talk to him or to be anywhere near him.”

Hearing this, Ryuu understood right away. “Sorry Luka, Naru promised his dad to avoid you at all costs. Don't take it to heart that he didn't shake your stinky hand.” With that said, Ryuu led Naru past Luka and they both headed upstairs. Naru avoided eye contact with Luka as he allowed his boss to lead him away.

"What the hell was that all about? Who is that boy’s dad?" Luka asked Ray as soon as Naru and Ryuu were out of their sight.

“Hiro,” answered Haruka.

“W-what?” Luka stuttered in shock. He was stunned beyond words to hear that Hiro was that young man’s dad.

“Naru is Hiro’s son Luka,” said Ray.

"Hiro was pregnant with Naru when he left you Luka,” Haruka added.

Luka stumbled backward and his head kept repeating what he been told. Hiro had been pregnant with his child. That young man he just met was Hiro’s son. He stared up at Ray and Haruka. “Naru is my and Hiro’s...”

“Yes Luka,” both Haruka and Ray answered him.

“He is going to die from shock if you both don't sit him down and tell him everything,” said Kousuki who stood to the side, quietly observing everything.

Ray walked up to his friend and patted him on the back. “Come on Luka, pull yourself together. You should be happy that you found out you have a son. Let’s go inside and I will tell you everything I know starting from the day Hiro left you.”
