Chapter 44


Junko shifted the myriad papers over the bed. He ran a hand through his hair, leaning forward to read something and exposing his bare body without a thought. Hoshi comes out of their bathroom and looks at him.

"My god ive turn you into a sexy David." He personaly was naked as he sat behind Junko pulling his fiance between his legs.

Junko smiles.

"And were I any less educated, that statement might make me jealous. Aren't you happy to have someone intelligent carrying your evil spawn?" Junko said jokingly.

He'd started kiddingly calling the upcoming baby 'evil spawn' since it'd been making him sick and very very tired. Despite the less-than-flattering nickname, he found he was extremely excited to be pregnant and he'd never been so happy in his life. Hoshi smiles and holds him close. He gently picks up the files.

"You know you like being knocked up by me." He started to look at the pictures of the knife and the glove.

"Every piece of evidence seems very convincing." Junko's smile fades into a thoughtful look.

"That's why I don't trust it. It all seems very easy to blame on you and Jacklon. If you'd really done it this way, I'd say you wanted to be caught." Hoshi chuckles.

"If i wanted to kill the bastard..." his voice trails off.

"You would no longer have the chance." Junko finishes for him.

"Don't think on it. Just help me keep you and your brother free men." Hoshi blinks and smiles.

"No Junko... dont you see if my brother or i were to kill that bastard then we will make sure it looked like someone else did it." Junko nods.

"Which is exactly what the person who killed him did."

"They wanted to make damn sure that Jacklon or myself went straight jail. Not even a jury could refute this evidence." Hoshi looks through a couple of files.

"There has to be something that backs this theory up." Junko nods and redoubles his efforts, staring hard at the photograps of the weapon and glove.

Hoshi picks up the file on the glove and read it over.

"Hey Junko... i can barely read this chicken scratch. Is there any other evidence that was found on the glove?" Junko turns to the papers in Hoshi's hand, reading them carefully.

"Well, there was Max's blood..." Hoshi squints.

He points to the bottom.

"Does that say red nail?" Junko glances down, his brow furrowing.

"Yeah. They mentioned finding an acrylic nail at the scene. They think it was Sandra's." Hoshi blinks.

"Sandra gets a mani pedi every week but swears against acrylics. She used to tell me that they damaged the nail beds." Junko stills.

"Was your father the type to bring his conquests home?" he asks carefully.

Hoshi shrugged. He moved through the pictures and found the picture of the nail.

"Hm... ive seen this shade of red before." Junko raises an eyebrow to Hoshi.

"Since when can you tell the difference between one red and another?" Hoshi looks at him.

"Being blind in one eye helps. But... wait..." Hoshi gulps. "I know where ive seen this red. It was flying towards me during the concert when i proposed." Junko's eyes widen.

"Nani?! She had red nails didnt she?" Junko nods. "Well...yeah, but....I mean do you really....really think she's capable of this?" Hoshi nods.

"She sent off the 'Junko is mine' vibe." Junko's entire body seems to slump and he sighs heavily.

"If that's true...then this whole thing...it's all my fault." Hoshi pulls him close.

"No this isnt your fault love. This woman was obsessed with you its her fault... but we dont have any proof its her nail. Are there any nail salon's near her home?" Junko shrugs.

"I don't really look for that kind of thing."

"Then maybe we pay her a visit tomorrow and find out." Hoshi gently rubs his stomach.

Junko nods slowly.

"Yeah." Hoshi puts the files back into the folder and rubs his stomach.

"I cant believe theres a little life in there." Junko shivers and smiles to Hoshi.

"You put it there." Hoshi smiles and kisses his neck.

"I wonder if he will have your green hair or my white." Junko grins and moves his head to give Hoshi more room.

"What makes you so sure it's a boy?" Hoshi chuckles.

"Alright if its a she then she must have my white hair." Junko nods.

"Or she could get lucky and have streaks of dark green." Hoshi smiles and licks his earlobe.

"Your so beautiful." Junko chuckles.

"You remember that when I look like a human blimp later."

"Ill still find you sexy as hell." Hoshi smiles. Junko's chuckle deepens.

"Let's hope so. I did a little research and partway in I'm supposed to get...well. Insatiable." Hoshi grins.

"I think i can handle that." Junko settles back and pulls one of Hoshi's hands to his lips.

"I love you, Hoshi. We'll get through this..." he sounds as though he's trying to convince himself as well.

Hoshi smiles and kisses his lips deeply.

"Yes we will." Junko kisses Hoshi's palm.

"I'll hold you to that." Hoshi smiles and lays back.

"Let's sleep court is tomorrow at noon." Junko nods and quickly gathers the papers together, setting them on the nightstand.

"Alright." Hoshi turns off the light and pulls Junko close.

He ran his fingers through his hair. Junko hums, pressing into the touch and shimmying closer to Hoshi. Hoshi holds Junko close. He gently breathed in Junko's scent making him smile brightly. Junko sighs in contentment, happy just to lie with his lover and the father of his child. A little shiver of excitement filters through him at the thought of their baby. The next morning comes as Hoshi was already in the shower. Junko, after his daily trop to the bathroom down the hall, comes back into their bedroom with his toothbrush stuck in his mouth. God he hated morning sickness. He sits heavily on the bed, glancing to the light under the master bathroom's door. Hoshi should be out, wet and gleaming, any second. Hoshi comes out with a towel low on his hips much like the morning after their first time. He rubbed his hair dry. Junko reaches forward and snatches the towel away from his hips.

"You shouldn't deprive the world of such a stunning view." he says with a playful grin.

Hoshi grins.

"Careful if you stare too much then this view will get even better." Junko grins around his toothbrush.

"I woulnd't mind." Hoshi smirks and walks over his cock already stirring.

Junko sets his clean toothbrush aside. He went through far too many since chewing on them had made his stomach settle in the mornings. He reached out and placed his hands on Hoshi's hips. Hoshi grins.

"It's up to say hi."

"Aww, such a cute little thing." Junko smirks. "Maybe I should kiss it good morning?" Hoshi nods as it lifts up higher.

Junko leans forward, pressing his lips to the tip of Hoshi's cock before slowly sliding it into his mouth. His eyes never leave Hoshi's as he flicks his tongue over the sensitive flesh. Hoshi groans softly.

"Oh Junko..." Junko winks as he takes Hoshi fully in, one hand going to the older man's entrance to tease.

Hoshi gasps and moans as he laces his fingers into Junko's hair. Junko works his lover expertly, weaving his tongue around Hoshi's thickness to find all his pleasure areas as his fingers slip into him and barely brush over his sweetspot. Hoshi moans louder as he gulps. Junko works like this for several minutes, taking Hoshi to the edge, then pulling back again many times. His eyes gleam upward at Hoshi and he has to fight himself to keep his own hand from his lap. Hoshi lets out a few rare whimpers as he pulls Junko's head onto him.

"Come on Jun..." Junko's eyes flutter shut and he takes Hoshi's cock down to the root, sucking and swallowing around him as his fingers hit his prostated directly.

Hoshi howls and cums hard down Junko's throat. Junko takes everything Hoshi gives him, pulling away and licking his lips. His boxers barely hide his hardness as he tries to shift without alerting Hoshi. Hoshi drops to his knees and gently takes Junko's cock out.

"No need to hide this from me." Junko shivers and leans back on his hands to watch Hoshi through half-lidded eyes.

"No?" Hoshi grins and takes Junko deep inside his mouth.

Junko spreads his legs, his head falling back with a groan. But he can't stand not looking at Hoshi, so he lifts his head again to meet those stormy eyes he loves.

"God, Hoshi...." Hoshi starts to suck hard on him as he slides a finger deep inside him.

Junko groans deeply, biting his lip and fighting the urge to thrust up into that hot mouth. Hoshi grins and sucks on him harder. He wanted to taste his loves essanse. Junko can't last long; he never does after having his lover in his mouth. His hips buck upward and his body trembles as an intense climax rushes through him.

"Ho- God, Hoshi!" Hoshi drinks him down greedy for more of him but knows he has to wait.

Junko collapses onto the bed, panting. He reaches down to pet Hoshi's hair softly. Hoshi stands up grinning.

"God your so beautiful." Junko smiles softly, running a hand over his still-flat belly.

"You too..." he responds.

Hoshi smiles.

"Come on we have to get dressed." Junko nods and the two are soon making their way down to the kitchen to make breakfast only to find Youji there wearing a garish pink apron and covered in flour.

Kaouri and Hiroki, similarly messy, are trying to coax Jacklon into helping. Jacklon simply stands on the other side of the counter. Hoshi looks at them.

"What happened?" Youji, Kaouri, and Hiroki all jump guiltily, but finally Youji speaks up.

"I...I wanted to fix breakfast...but. I...I kind of forgot that I...don'tknowhowtocook...." Youji blushes deeply, not meeting their eyes.

Hoshi chuckles.

"I can see that. Jacklon would you...?" Jacklon nods and walks to Youji wiping away the flour on Youji's nose.

Youji twists the end of the apron, giving Jacklon his patented puppy-dog eyes. Kaouri and Hiroki look at each other, then make twin gagging noises. Junko just rolls his eyes. Hoshi whispers that the twins could clean up in their bathroom. Junko leads the two giggleboxes into the downstairs bathroom, telling them not to come out until they're squeaky clean before returning to Hoshi's side and propping his chin on the other's shoulder. Hoshi smiles.

"Come on." he leads him to his lambo.

Junko follows, his tight leather pants creaking a bit with each step. Hoshi grins and helps Junko into his seat. He quickly gets into his own seat and drives down the road.

"You have to direct me to Nani's home." His voice held venom for a woman who had taken his Junko to bed and possibly had almost framed him and his brother for murder.

Junko directs Hoshi as best he can remeber, getting them turned around only twice. Finally, though, the pristine white house comes into view.

"That's it." He says, pointing it out.

Hoshi parks and stands up.

"This is not going to end well." Junko bites his lip, a hand running over his belly.

"I hope you're wrong." Hoshi walks over to him.

Gently rests his hand on Junko's back he walks over to the door knocking on it. Junko swallows, feeling anxiety rise in his chest. Did he sleep with a murderess? The door swings open showing Nani in her normal suit.

"What do you two ass bandits want?" As her hand rests on the door showign her nails were soft purple.

Junko swallows and opens his mouth, but is unable to speak.

"Er...."

"We want to know if you have gone to the nail salon recently?" Nani glares at Hoshi.

"I go every two weeks for a fresh set. Im not due to go for another two weeks. Now go away." She slams the door in their faces.

Junko sighs in releif. Well, they didn't get much, but at least there wasn't any screaming or violence. Hoshi looks at the door.

"She's lying." Junko's senses perk up.

"You think so?"

"Acrylic nails are very good truth tellers." Hoshi leads him back into the car.

"Candi gets her nails done with acrylics. She could tell us how long its been since she had that set put on." Junko nods, getting in the car and leaning over to open Hoshi's door from the inside.

Hoshi climbs in and drives to Candi's salon. Hoshi got back out and helped Junko out.

"The minute this trials over im taking you on another cruse on my yacht. To make up for your birthday." Junko blushes.

"That was more my fault than yours, but...I'd like to try it again." Hoshi smiles and kisses his lips before pulling Junko into the salon.

The minute Candi saw Junko she squealed and ran over hugging him. Junko 'oomphed' in surprise, but was soon smiling and hugging the excitable girl back.

"Hello, Candi." Candi smiels brightly.

"Junko you look so happy and just... whats going on with you?" Junko laughs nervously, scratching his head.

"Er. It's...I mean. Hoshi should really be the one to tell you...He's so damned proud of himself." He grins wickedly to Hoshi.

Hoshi chuckles and shrugs.

"As it happens... im gonna be a daddy." Candi looks at Hoshi with the same confused look Hoshi had at the hospital.

"How...?" Junko blushes deeply.

"That...would be my doing...or, er....being done." Candi smiles brightly and hugs him gently.

"Congradulations." Junko chuckles.

"I'm not made of glass, you can hug me for real until you can't fit your arms around me." He holds the woman tight to him for a moment before looking into Hoshi's eyes. "There was something...we wanted to ask you, actually."

"If it's to be godmother then i accept." Candi giggles.

Junko makes a distressed sound.

"Well, steal my thunder, why don't you!" he can't help but laugh, though, at Candi's excitement.

Candi smiles.

"I hope its a little girl. That way i can turn her into me!" Hoshi's eye widen.

"Uh i think making you godmother is a mistake." Candi pouts and glares at Hoshi.

Junko chuckles.

"Do you really think the world could handle another you?" Candi thinks about it.

"Hm... you got a younger sister right? You could always send her over and ill doll her up!" Hoshi shakes his head.

"Anyway there is another reason we came. You wear acrylic nails right?" Candi nods showing her french manicure nails.

"Every week i get them changed. Why?" Hoshi looks at her and gently takes her hand.

"How long ago would a woman have gotten a set if the color stopped here." His finger pointed to about a little ways from the cuticals.

Candi looked at it.

"I would say a week maybe a little more." Hoshi's smile turns into a grin.

"Thanks Candi your probably the key to freeing my brother and me." Candi blinks then tilts her head.

Junko's own smile is bright and hopeful for the first time since the trial began. Hoshi turns.

"Come on. There is a nail salon near Nani's house." Junko nods and follows obediently.

Hoshi gets into the car. He starts the car and heads towards Nani's house.
