       Secret Desires- Taiyo, Shiro, Kouji
       By: Minyaagar Date: February 12, 2026, 9:49 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The difference in anxiety levels was drastic to Taiyō when
       you compared following around Shiro at home instead of a packed
       airport. His charge had caught wind of a rumor going around
       about Kuro being too attached to his bodyguard and talk of
       bringing the bodyguard home for a different assignment.
       It seemed Shiro knew *something* and was determined to get to
       his brother before the orders could be given. So, that was why
       they were in the states, Tai being grateful he was taller than
       most and could keep eyes on Shiro as he followed after the man,
       his eyes scanning for all possible danger.
       "We should grab something to eat before we go get the rental,
       I'm starved," the pink haired man suggested.
       Shiro was making his way through the crowds to grumble just how
       claustrophobic it felt before hearing his body guard.”*telling
       me- and am so damn tired.*” he said to the man before he ended
       up bumping into his body guard to avoid his foot being rolled
       over by a baggage from a older woman.”let’s get out of this
       crowd already!” He griped. Shiro was worried for his brother- it
       was a no brainer for him to see how Kuro was with his bodyguard.
       He held his bag in one hand his coat draped over his arm.”and
       it’s hooot.. the weather lied! It was suppose to rain!” He said
       to frown.
       Behind the two colorful haired men, a more subtle individual in
       jeans, a t-shirt and glasses followed. Kouji preferred to keep a
       low profile while traveling, not wanting others to recognize
       him. As a former Yakuza body guard, and spy, the Inquisitor
       always tried to stay one step ahead of his many enemies.
       He'd been quite curious to see Shiro and Taiyo on his flight to
       the States. While he was aware of Kuro's father being suspicions
       about Yami, he hadn't realized it might be that serious. But if
       Shiro was going to warn Kuro, maybe it was.
       Kouji kept his distance, watching the pair without being obvious
       about it. He was quite amused by Shiro's complaints, smirking a
       little.
       At Shiro's complaining about the crowd, Taiyō got a devious
       smirk before he scooped his charge up into his arms bridal style
       before carrying him out of the crowd, setting the man down when
       he got to the storefront he wanted.
       "Mean, I would rather it be hot than wet, but the weatherman
       really shouldn't lie to you, it's rude," he teased before
       guiding the man into the McDonald's to go and place an order for
       the both of them. He had been assigned to Shiro long enough that
       he knew all the man's favorite foods by this point.
       Shiro felt the scoop to blush. He gave a mild glare.”haha.. next
       time warn a man before you pick him up..” he said blushing
       harder. Once he had his soda he couldn’t *help* but feel eyes.
       His face turned fully to the direction where kouji would be, but
       not see the man. He always seemed to get feelings that he didn’t
       like.. but this one felt confusing to turn back.”did you get the
       nuggies?” He asked ignoring the strange stares of the other
       people for his choice of words.
       Kouji let out a soft sigh, a tinge of jealousy going through him
       as Taiyo scooped Shiro up in his arms and got him through the
       crowd. He shook his head and sidestepped to avoid a child that
       had stepped into his path.
       He slowed as the crowd thinned and pulled out his phone to lean
       against a stone pillar outside the Restaurant that the two had
       chosen.
       Kouji smirked hearing Shiro's question. It amused him that the
       man had looked straight at him but hadn't seen him. He would
       have remained a quiet observer if he hadn't noticed the three
       men that seemed quite interested in Shiro.
       Kouji pulled his phone up in his face and moved to "bump" into
       Taiyo. "Oh so sorry sir," he apologized. **"Three men at your
       6,"** he whispered in Japanese. "Please forgive me," he added,
       sliding his phone into his pocket.
       The protests Shiro gave only served to get a laugh out of
       Taiyō, clearly having no intention of following the
       suggestion of giving a warning. When the man settled at the
       table, Tai went about fussing over the man. "Of course I haven't
       your nuggies, what kind of monster would I be to deprive you?"
       He questioned with a chuckle before going to get their drinks.
       The sharp bump into his shoulder followed by the warning in
       Japanese had him instantly on edge. "Oh no, I wasn't watching
       where I was going, no worries," he said with a clear edge to his
       voice as he swiftly got the drinks before going back to the
       table and stuffing everything into the bags.
       *"We need to go, right now. You can eat in the car."* Taiyō
       said before he pulled Shiro out of the chair and against himself
       when the people after Shiro realized they were noticed and tried
       to grab the man. He held a protective arm around Shiro as he
       tried to back away from the approaching men.
       Shiro smiled wide glad that he had what he wanted to chomp on a
       nugget,he heard Taiyo to feel the pull and blushed at how close
       he was. Least till he felt a hand. He ate the rest of his nugget
       to make a look. While he didn’t look it the man was a fighter
       himself. Course given his father and ‘image’ didn’t like it when
       he would come back semi roughed up. *you owe me more drinks.* he
       told his bodyguard to throw it in their faces to trip one.
       Kouji circled around and moved to yank one of the attackers back
       by his collar, and put him into a choke hold. The man struggled
       and tried to headbutt him, but Kouji's tight hold remained until
       the man passed out.
       Blood dripping from his nose, Kouji turned to the third man,
       blocking the man's flashing knife and jabbing him hard in the
       throat three times. Kouji kicked the knife away and moved to
       kick the soda drenched one in the face, making him fall with a
       pained groan.
       *"This way,"*
       By now airport security was heading towards them and they needed
       to get out of there fast. Kouji led the two to a stairwell that
       led down to the parking garage.
       *"There are probably more, so  we probably want to work
       together,"* he suggested.
       It was impossible to keep a straight face around Shiro when the
       man did and said things the way he did. *"Add it to my tab
       bossman," Taiyō couldn't help but tease as his attention
       was sharply pulled to Kouji. Of course it was Kouji! The
       bodyguard was beginning to think the man was stalking Shiro.
       They ran into him suspiciously often, and strangely convenient
       times, but he kept his thoughts to himself for now.
       *"Of course....."* he said after watching the impressive way the
       man took care of the enemy. He couldn't help but keep hold of
       Shiro, knowing the man would fight if let go. He couldn't help
       but throw the man over his shoulder to chase after Kouji.
       He nearly rolled his eyes when the man suggested working
       together. "Yeah, sure fine, let's get out of here..." He said as
       he followed the man to make their escape from the airport.
       Shiro made his usual angry face at being held- being he liked to
       throw hands before feeling the throw over the man’s
       shoulder.”*Taiyo whyyyy.. I hate it when you do this shit!*” the
       poor man could only hang looking at his bodyguards ass. Now that
       he thought about it- was a firm looking ass. “Can I be let down
       now?” He called back.
       Kouji smirked to himself at Taiyo's reluctant acceptance of his
       idea. Shiro's protest nearly had him chuckling.
       Kouji led them down to the third parking level, motioning them
       to wait and stepped out to check for signs of trouble. From the
       European look of the three attackers, he was pretty sure the men
       had been Italians. The Yakuza were currently in the middle of
       high stakes negotiations over territory they both wanted. Having
       Shiro as hostage, the Italians would be insured to get what they
       wanted.
       *"It's clear,"* Kouji said and headed into the garage, looking
       for a vehicle to jack.
       *"Which ride are we wanting? The gray car or the gray SUV?"* He
       asked, picking two equally mediocre vehicles that wouldn't stand
       out in any way.
       *"Nope, have to live on my shoulder forever,"* Taiyō teased
       as he set Shiro back on his feet, deciding the man wasn't in
       immediate danger as they followed Kouji, though he did keep a
       hand on the man.
       They did as instructed, coming out when the man beckoned them.
       *"car, smaller, more maneuverable, keep an eye on Shiro while I
       get in and hot wire it."* Tai said before going to the car and
       working on getting in. A few minutes later the engine roared to
       life and he got in the driver's seat. *"hop in,"* he told the
       pair.
       Shiro sighed with relief. Ring on his feet again.”*I can keep an
       eye on myself you know.*” he said rather sighing.  He saw some
       men coming. Once he heard hop in he slid in, the man grumbling
       in Japanese about a bunch of Italians trying to get their hands
       on him of all people. He had to keep a lid on it to not pull his
       gun out. Once kouji was in he finally got to ask.”so who are
       you?” He said his brow raising.
       Kouji nodded, keeping an eye out while Taiyo worked on getting
       into the car and hot wiring it.
       *"Of course you can,"* Kouji replied, and adjusted his bag.
       Once Shiro had gotten in the back Kouji slipped in besides him
       and closed the door.
       Shiro's question had him sighing.
       "Am I really that unremarkable you don't recognize me Shiro? You
       really should pay better attention to those who work for you,"
       he muttered. "Konishi Kouji at your service, Shiro-sama," he
       added with a bow of his head.
       When Shiro asked Kouji who he was, and then went on to call the
       man Sama, had Taiyō cracking up as he sped off out of the
       parking garage and sped off in a random direction. *"We are
       headed to Dark Manor, assuming you are chill with that?"* the
       bodyguard questioned going down random side roads, drifting a
       few times.
       Once he was satisfied they weren't being followed, the pinked
       haired man finally headed in the proper direction to get to
       their destination. It would be a while before they got there.
       Shiro blushed a bit.”to be honest I haven’t really paid
       attention to names..” he mumbled. In actuality he had hoped his
       brother would already take over. He wasn’t too thrilled to know
       how the yakuza was going. So he wasn’t sure what people his
       brother would keep and had a tendency to be suspicious of those
       that wasn’t his bodyguard.”okay better question- why are you
       following us?” He asked his brow raising.
       Kouji's feelings rather stung at Taiyo's laughing, though he
       didn't let it show on his face. Seeing Shiro blushing helped
       assuage his hurt feelings somewhat. "Wouldn't hurt to start
       remembering some names." He replied and moved his bag to the
       floor of the car.
       "Oh is that where you are headed? Talk about a coincidence," he
       replied to Taiyo, shooting a suspicious look over at Shiro.
       "You think I was Following you? You've misunderstood. Kuro-sama
       asked me to come to him to do some work. I noticed you on the
       flight over. One doesn't just forget old habits or duties after
       they've been doing them for so long. I really had no idea you
       were going to see Kuro-sama as well,"
       “Ahh so big bro called you.” He said.”well one should make
       himself known instead of being in the shadows.” Said the short
       man to shuffle for his food to remember the drinks were gone. He
       threw a fry in his mouth.”yeah.. but that information is for big
       brother only.” He said unsure of kouji’s alignment. He had heard
       one of their brothers attempted to murder Kuro before, course
       when the man was found was dealt with as Kuro was picked to take
       over. Jealousy was normal among their family- far as he recalled
       their father killed off their uncle to gain his spot. “So how
       long your gonna be down then?” He asked.
       *"Sure, Coincidence, like every other time I catch you staring
       at Shiro-san's ass Kouji? Should only take a few hours to get to
       the manor, did you want me to pull through a drive though to
       replace your drink Shiro-san?"* Taiyō questioned as he
       pulled into the nearest drive though to order new drinks and
       even order some extra food.
       Once the meal was payed for and collected, Taiyō gave the
       drinks and food to the pair before heading off in the right
       direction.
       "he did." Kouji replied. He shook his head at Shiro's comment.
       "I've got too many enemies to let myself stand out in any way.
       If I had shown myself before those men attacked, we'd have had
       more to deal with,"
       Kouji wasn't about to get into what business or news Shiro was
       bringing to Kuro. "that's fine, I wouldn't want you compromising
       yourself. If it's a private matter, it's none of my business."
       Kouji couldn't help but smirk at Shiro's question. "As long as
       Kuro-sama needs me, or how long it'll take to break this person
       I'm questioning,"
       Kouji merely chuckled at Taiyo's question. It almost sounded
       like the bodyguard was jealous. "Please, I see you staring at
       his ass just as much. You have a pretty hot one yourself Taiyo,"
       Kouji didn't argue about stopping for some more food as he was
       quite hungry. "Thank you Taiyo -san," he said accepting the bag
       of food  and slowly eating, enjoying it with soft moans.
       Shiro blinked at what Taiyō said and accepted the drink to
       down it a little bit.”*at my ass huh?*” he questioned as his
       face turned to the man.
       “So someone at the mansion needs your breaking in?.. heard that
       place got a lot going on- last I heard word of was about that
       big ol’ fight war did- and that their men are pretty damn
       tough..” he mused. He dug the nuggets out to continue eating.
       “Heard also there’s a lot of messed up things going on in that
       place.” He said to swallow and snagged another nugget to chomp
       on it. “How long have you been staring at my ass?” He asked to
       give a smirk.
       A massive blush crossed Taiyō's cheeks when Kouji pointed
       out that the bodyguard had also been looking. He had never been
       so grateful to be facing away from the pair in that moment.
       Hearing the man complement his ass as well, had him nearly
       scoff.
       *"mean, I am paid to watch his ass,"* was the only comeback he
       could think of as he tried to cool down how flustered he felt.
       He didn't like the thought of this place they were heading as
       Shiro talked about it. He couldn't help the feelings that rushed
       through him when Shiro asked Kouji about how long he had been
       staring. He could see that cute smirk in his rearview mirror. He
       forced himself to focus on the road.
       Kouji nodded at Shiro's question as his mouth was full of
       hamburger at the moment. "I've heard the same, and they're
       freaking huge. Not surprising War would surround himself with
       giants,"
       "I'm pretty sure that's why Kuro brought me in, to figure out
       who's behind all that shit. I could be wrong though,"
       Kouji chuckled at Taiyo's comeback. "I'm pretty sure, that's not
       the same thing," he teased.
       Kouji cocked his head to the side at the last question. "About
       three years I suppose, though before that it was your eyes that
       drew me in."
       Shiro chuckled at Taiyō’s come back.”*if it’s any
       consolation- I’m always getting a nice view of your ass
       Taiyō-kun…*.” He teased.”course I wonder who been staring
       at whose ass for longer.” He said to smirk.
       “Oh? That sounds fun- get to crack some knuckles and taking
       names?” He asked to smirk again at Kouji.
       He blinked at what he said.”my eyes hm..? What about them drew
       you in?” Asked Shiro as he tilted his head.
       The flirtatious teasing words of Shiro and Kouji had Taiyō
       nearly mimicking a tomato as his cheeks were now darker than his
       pink hair. The feeling turned back to jealousy when Shiro seemed
       to have a positive reaction to the news that Kouji had been
       starting at him for three years now and asking what drew him in.
       *"This is gonna be a long drive,"* he muttered to himself as he
       tried to solely focus on the road.
       "Probably me checking Taiyo's out," Kouji couldn't help but
       comment. "We went through training together after all,"
       Kouji raised an eyebrow at Shiro's asking about his work. "it's
       a bit more involved than snapping a few fingers, I'll spare you
       the details,"
       The last thing Kouji wanted was to scare Shiro off by how bloody
       and gruesome his work could get.
       "They're very expressive, they show far more emotion than anyone
       else's I've ever seen,"
       Kouji couldn't help but hear Taiyo's muttered comment. *"If you
       need a break, I could drive for awhile,"*
       “That’s because I’m the spoiled youngest.” Joked Shiro.”honestly
       most are meant to be a certain way in our family- never was the
       type to follow their rules.” He admitted. He heard the words as
       well.”Taiyō … are you feeling jealous?” He asked his brow
       raising. He tilted his head back at kouji.”looking at his ass
       hm? Was there a draw in for him?” He asked with a grin.
       Hearing Kouji admit to having been looking at Taiyō's ass
       since they had been in training together had the bodyguard stare
       into the rear view mirror for several moments looking at the man
       as if trying to decide if he were serious before the pair
       started talking about *him*.
       *"I'm fine,"* was the only answer Taiyō trusted himself to
       give in that moment. Being called out for his jealous feelings
       was not what he had expected to deal with today. He used his
       free hand to scrub over his face to try and refocus himself,
       though he couldn't help but listen for what Kouji's answer would
       be.
       He tried to mentally yell at himself that it didn't matter, it
       wasn't like he could be with either of them given his job and
       connections to Shiro. It would be improper. Not that Shiro
       seemed to care about those kinds of things, the people who
       pulled the strings cared though.
       Kouji didn't argue, though he knew better. Shiro was more than
       just a rebel going against the rules.
       The idea that Taiyo was feeling jealous had him shooting a
       curious glance at the pink head.
       "Kind of hard to miss with the way he swaggered around
       everywhere, still does it now. And of course that cocky grin and
       sassy way of talking. He's not changed all that much since his
       teen years," Kouji mused.
       Shiro started to chuckle.. seeing how red the man’s face was to
       listen to kouji. What the trio didn’t notice was someone
       crossing the cross walk. Shiro turned to see that and said.”Tai
       watch out!”he said to hear the sickening thud as famine hit the
       car and a brightly colored pink purse fly out.
       The man’s hand would be seen on the hood as Shiro flinched.
       Seeing famine coming up and flipping off his body guard. He then
       looked around looking worried. To see what he was looking for
       and gave the.”stay here” motion to check the purse and seemingly
       seemed fine. It seemed famine was in a rush as he seemed to
       throw the purse in his coat and run off.
       What Kouji had to say in response to Shiro had the bodyguard not
       paying attention to the road at all, at least, not until he
       heard Shiro tell him to watch out. Taiyō tried to swerve
       out of the way and hit the breaks making th car make and awful
       screeching sound before the vehicle made contact.
       The formerly red faced man was now as pale as a sheet. His felt
       sick to his stomach at the thought he had just run someone over.
       The shock on his face was just about unmatched when he saw the
       man he had hit get up like nothing happened before finding the
       pink purse and ran off.
       *"What the actual fuck?"* he couldn't help but say, trying to
       decide if that had actually just happened. He took a moment to
       get out of the car and look it over, the expected dent and blood
       clearly visible making him very sure that had just happened.
       He then lit up a cigarette to try and steady his nerves, he
       didn't smoke them all that often but he liked keeping them on
       hand for high stress situations. Once done, he got back into the
       driver's seat and took off again. *"Sorry about that... I...
       don't know how I didn't see that guy..."* He apologized, quite
       shaken still.
       Kouji let out a curse, instinctively bracing his arm across
       Shiro's chest when he spied the incoming impact. He winced at
       the thud as the car struck the man and something pink went
       flying through the air.
       He slowly moved his arm down as the man popped up a moment
       later, his pink hair looking disheveled. It took him a few
       minutes to realize who Taiyo run into.
       "Was that a purse?" He asked,not quite believing Famine would be
       caught dead with such a thing in his possession.
       "You okay to drive Tai?" Kouji asked watching the man getting a
       cigarette out.
       "Pretty sure that was one of War's brothers you ran over. They
       can be pretty unpredictable. Wonder what he's up to. Sorry for
       distracting you."
       Deciding it would be best to change the subject to prevent
       further accidents he asked Shiro about what music he liked
       listening to.

       By: Minyaagar Date: February 12, 2026, 10:12 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Shiro was in shock to see the man had gone.”I think so?” He
       said. He heard the man speak of one of wars brothers.”bet its
       death.. mean no one just gets the hell up and walks off..” he
       said poorly informed as he was.
       “Mostly listen to what sounds good- particularly things I can
       dance to.” He admitted.”tai you okay? And you’re fine.. “ he
       said now gaining a softer sound to his voice.
       *"I'll be fine, I'm good to drive,"* Taiyō reassured as he
       drove, the talk of music prompting him to switch on the radio,
       flipping to a station that had music similar to what Shiro liked
       to listen to back home. It had become such a habit to do things
       in a manner that catered to Shiro than indulging in his own
       interests, not that he really had many outside of sports.
       He was silent the rest of the drive, only relaxing slightly when
       they had arrived at dark manor. Taiyō parked the car before
       pulling out his and Shiro's bags before he waited for the man.
       He often acted more like a butler than a bodyguard.
       "Death's hair is white. That guy's was pink." Kouji pointed out.
       He knew just slightly more about War's brothers then Shiro did.
       "I'm pretty sure most of them heal faster than normal too,"
       Kouji couldn't help but imagine how Shiro might look while
       dancing. Or how he'd move. It had been a long time since he'd
       done anything for fun.
       Kouji kept the man talking for most of the trip, only pausing to
       take a call from Kuro. He let the man know he was on his way
       before hanging up. He made no mention of Shiro and Taiyo's being
       with him.
       Once they arrived at the place, he directed Taiyo to park near
       the wing where Kuro and the Mafia were housed.
       "How are you planning on approaching Kuro-sama?" He asked,
       slightly worried that Shiro and Taiyo could be punished.
       Shiro couldn’t help but worry about his bodyguard. He watched as
       he got the bag as he listened to kouji.
       “Still kind of funny.” He said before he heard about Kuro. “You
       don’t worry about me.” He said and smiled to see his
       brother.”Shiro.. what brought you here?” He asked as he noticed
       kouji.”*I have someone inside that will need your handiwork-
       people been hiding things and I want to know what. Yami will
       take you there..*” he mumbled.”well.. it’s about Yami…” said
       Shiro with a look.”dads gonna take him away Kuro.. and I didn’t
       think it was right.. “ Kuro flushed.”so you came to warn me.”
       The man nodded.
       A look of surprise came to Taiyō's face when Shiro finally
       told his brother the news. His eyes going to Yami as the man
       walked away with Kouji. *"Maybe we should bring this
       conversation somewhere more... private?"* he suggested,
       lingering near Shiro as he waited for the man so he could follow
       him to wherever they would be staying for the night.
       Kouji didn't really have a chance to reply back to Shiro,
       getting Kuro's order. He gave a respectful bow to the Kuro, his
       face going blank.
       *"Arigato Yami-san,"* he replied following after the taller
       muscular bodyguard. It didn't bother him that the other's
       demeanor had changed. He probably wouldn't be pleased if he was
       moved to another job so abruptly.
       Once in the small room, Kouji started pulling out his tools and
       laying them out. Then pulled on the raincoat he normally wore
       over his of clothes. He shot a look at Yami and nodded.
       "I'll let you know if I do."
       There were soon pained screams and cries as Kouji worked his way
       to getting answers for Kuro.
       Shiro nodded as Kuro looked like he been gut punched. The two
       walked in and past a dark haired woman who seemed concerned.
       Rachel wasn’t sure what was going on to see the three go behind
       closed doors.
       Once there did Shiro begin to talk freely.”yeah. They noticed
       you seemed awfully close to Yami- and Yami acting informal..
       they are suspicious of your relationship..” he started to see
       Kuro’s face.”you don’t do jealous well- it was a no brainer.” He
       fessed up.”but I think you need to take over! It’s getting
       worse- our younger sisters in the hospital right now cause there
       was a failed attempt on one of our older brothers.” He said
       sadly.”and real tired of telling me what to do- if I wanna kiss
       my bodyguard it should be my right!” Said Shiro to fold his
       arms.
       When they got to the office and closed the door, Taiyō put
       the bags down to take a seat on them as the two brothers talked.
       Of course he felt for Kuro, the man looked pretty torn up over
       this.
       What really caught Taiyō's attention was Shiro complaining
       that if he wanted to kiss his bodyguard, he had the right to. It
       caused his face to return to a deep red color as he tried to
       pretend like the man hadn't just said that. Shiro sure made it
       hard to resist him when he spoke like that.
       Kouji continued his bloody work, blood spattering his raincoat
       and the wall and floor underneath the man strapped down. After a
       few hours work, he had the information Kuro had needed,  the
       name of the man in the Mafia leading those to rebel and act out
       against his orders.
       Kouji regarded the broken man impassively before turning to the
       door.
       *"Yami, I'll need bleach and salt water in here, and let Kuro
       know I got a name for him. I'm going to clean my tools first. Oh
       and can if there's nothing more he needs, this one can be
       released from his misery,"*
       Kuro pressed his head in his hands as he made a silent decision.
       There was no way he was letting Yami go- and his brother was
       right. “Alright.. if we are doing this.. we are going to have
       them bring the fight here.. so mom and the others won’t get
       hurt..” said Kuro. His hand thumped on the desk in
       thought.”maybe I can get them to work with me and do a trade
       off..”  he murmured at the three that seemed to stay together.
       *"You got it, I'll be back here shortly."* Yami answered before
       going to grab the needed supplies before heading back to Kouji.
       He then went to find Kuro. Finding the man in a disused office
       with Shiro and Taiyō, *"Hey Boss, you need anything else
       from what's his face? Or do you want me to... take care of
       him?"* Yami questioned, he tried to push down how he felt in
       that moment, he could have a breakdown over being forced to go
       back to Japan and away from his lovers. At least they would have
       each other.
       Kuro saw Yami. “No I don’t, and no need to.” He told him.”I’ll
       have someone else do that.. we kind of need to talk.” He told
       Yami.”and bring kouji with you.” He asked.
       Kouji accepted the bleach and salt water ignoring the fearful
       whimpers from the tortured man as he cleaned off his tools,
       dried them and stored them away. His raincoat was the last thing
       he cleaned and put away when it was dry.
       Kouji grabbed his bag and left the room, waiting patiently for
       Yami's reappearance. He wasn't quite sure what to expect,
       shooting a brief look at Shiro and Taiyo before giving another
       bow to Kuro.
       *"Do you want the name and information now? Or should I wait
       until we're alone?"*
       *"Alright,"* Yami said in agreement before he quickly left to
       fetch Kouji and brought the man back with him, informing him
       someone would *take care* of their 'guest'.
       Once he let Kouji into the office, he gave a bow himself to Kuro
       and then closed the door and leaned against it. It was hard to
       even look at Kuro, or anyone for that matter so he just tried to
       push down all the negative emotions he felt right then.
       Once everyone was settled., and kuro looked at kouji.”*in a
       little this is kind of more important to me.*” the man sat
       silently his hands in front of his mouth.. then he asked his
       question.”Yami.. here in a little my father is going to order
       you to Japan.. we are going to say no.” He told him.”I’m keeping
       you.. but only if you want to. “ he seemed a bit on butterflies
       as he hadn’t never really said it in front of other people- so
       to openly admit was another monster.”I love you Yami.. and I
       been thinking long and hard about taking over for the mafia..
       but to do that I still need .. and want you.. but it’ll be
       risky.. for the both of us- but I’m willing to take it cause to
       not have you will kill me nonetheless.” He told the man. Shiro’s
       eyes went wide at his *brother* actually opening up. “I’ll take
       over but that means all of us here will be fighting.. “ he said.
       Despite his facial expression staying blank, Kouji was quite
       surprised by Kuro's open confession of love to Yami. He'd never
       thought he'd hear Kuro say anything like this.
       "You aren't the only one that wants to change how the Yakuza
       work," Kouji spoke up. "If you need me as a contact, I am more
       than willing to fill that duty. As one of the invisible ones,
       I'm the least likely to be noticed,"
       When Kuro finally began to speak, Yami felt his heart sing to
       his stomach as his lover explained he would be called back to
       Japan. His eyes snapped back up to Kuro when the man continued
       and said they would tell them *no*. The bodyguard's eyes widened
       when his boss contied on even further to confess his love in
       front of others.
       "You are worth the risk...." Yami said softly as he crossed the
       room and went around the desk before he pulled Kuro into a deep
       loving kiss. "They will have to carry me out in a bodybag if
       they want me away from you... I love you too Kuro-Kun..." He
       said softly, his heart pounding as he felt his hope revitalized.
       Kuro felt the man kiss him to draw him in and made him sit in
       his lap.”this means we will have a fight- but I’m sure most here
       would welcome it.. given how restless most seem.” He said to
       snuggle.”kouji you can give your report now. What did you find
       out ?” He asked him. Shiro seemed a bit confused.”what’s going
       on?” He asked his brother.”apparently innocent people been used
       for experimentation- now if it been someone that was in deep and
       directly involved I wouldn’t dig so much. But a young women and
       two young men were experimented on, the two men didn’t have much
       other than their backgrounds researched- they were squeaky
       clean.” He said and sighed.”but the *woman* though sadly her
       father used her as a means to buy himself an out for the money
       he borrowed- which shouldn’t have happened.” He said in a
       disgusted tone.”I’m wondering just *how* many people that are in
       similar circumstances- did think of taking this one over as
       well- given even the mafia leader has lost control.” He said
       with a sigh.
       The tender exchange between the two lovers stirred something
       deep inside Kouji, making him flick his gaze towards Shiro and
       Taiyo for a brief moment. Maybe if they were lucky, Kuro would
       succeed and  he might have a chance to openly pursue both of
       them. Though...he wouldn't mind having a secret relationship if
       they were open to it.
       *"The man you're looking for is Donatello Capelli, he's the
       mafia's secret boss on the base. He's been heading a lot of the
       secret shit going on behind the scenes, even funding William's
       twisted experiments,"* Kouji shared, not feeling comfortable to
       say his report in English.
       Kouji was more than disgusted about hearing of children and
       women being experimented and going through torture.
       *"There's more...in a secret lab right under your nose. Might
       need Famine to ferret it out,"*
       *"you know I never back down from a fight,"* Yami mused,
       snuggling against Kuro, for once not caring that others were
       seeing his softer side. Being able to sit in his lover's lap
       like this while he carried on with business was surreal.
       Maybe one day they could truly be together like this and Yami
       wouldn't have to have to pretend he doesn't feel deeply for his
       boss.
       "Taking over here before they try and send for me is going to be
       tough...." He murmured softly, his face buried in Kuro's neck as
       he snuggled closer. He had be *craving* the man's attention like
       this for far too long.
       See ing the way Yami and Kuro were made Taiyō insanely
       jealous that he couldn't have Shiro like that.  Even with the
       flirting that the man did, Tai tried to not let his hopes get
       up. Shiro was a rule breaker, flirting with your bodyguard was
       against the rules so *obviously* the rebellious man would do
       that.
       Kuro sighed and made a hard look.”wonderful- be hella mess to
       clean up.” He said as he clung to Yami.
       “It might be.. but if we talk to war we might have a chance.. “
       said Kuro.  He saw how Shiro looked at him.”it means things
       would be different and relationships can be pursued.. mean..” he
       side eye Taiyō. He knew his rule breaking would have some
       blow back. One being with someone he had crushed on since he’d
       been hired on.
       “Means that there be connections we can have to be more
       meaningful.” He said and blushed a little.
       Kouji was feeling slightly impatient at the talk. "So talk to
       War, best to get the ball rolling in the right direction and
       all. I have his private line if you can't meet him in person.
       Let's get things moving."
       Kouji knew that there was a lot of moving pieces to deal with
       and that Kuro had to take all that into account. If War was
       involved he could help with that, since he'd been dealing with
       much more elaborate battle plans.
       The impatience Kouji showed had Taiyō shaking his head.
       Though he couldn't help but feel the rush was a little warranted
       given they wouldn't have much time to prepare.
       *"We should get you settled in your room Shiro-san,"* Taiyō
       said, seeing the two men in such an intimate position as Yami
       started kissing at Kuro's neck had him ready to get out of
       there.
       The moment they were dismissed, they were led to a room for
       Shiro to stay in. Tai began to unpack the bags, having a feeling
       they would be here for a while.
       "Thinking about a little sparing before dinner, you good with
       that?" He questioned, having quite a bit of frustration to work
       off.
       Shiro nodded as Kuro called out for a maid to direct them to a
       room. As Shiro walked they passed by a strange noise in the
       closet to be suprised by the butler and the Gardner being out of
       sorts to blush. Once they got to the room and was helping unpack
       heard tai ask about sparring.”be good- I’m not tired anymore..”
       he said with a sigh.
       At Shiro's answer, Taiyō pulled out clothes for the both of
       them to change into before going into the bathroom to change.
       Once ready, he dragged Shiro off outside where they found the
       training grounds.
       After a brief call to War to set up a meeting for the next day,
       Kouji followed after Taiyo and Shiro and the maid who was acting
       as a guide.
       "Keep in mind your rooms share a bathroom, sorry about that. We
       weren't planning on so many showing up at once,"
       "Oh no that's fine, we can share," Kouji assured the maid and
       got his bag stashed away.
       He stripped out of his street clothes and pulled on a loose
       T-shirt and track pants deciding to blow off some steam. He
       wasn't all that surprised to see Taiyo and Shiro walking ahead
       of him.
       "Mind if I join you?" Kouji asked moving to catch up to the two
       at the running track. He moved to start stretching, while
       waiting for their answer. "I'm too hyped up to just sit around.
       Maybe you'd want to spar a bit with me Taiyo?"
       Shiro blinked as he looked at the man asking to spar with Taiyo.
       Kuro felt a little miffed that the man was already asking to
       spar with taijo when the two hadn’t even started yet. “I don’t
       mind- tai go ahead and warm up with the guy. I’ll do something
       so I am not sitting still. Give you a chance to warm up.” He
       said to smirk a little.
       A look of surprise crossed Taiyō's features when Kouji
       invited himself along before offering to spar with him. Tai
       looked at Shiro and found himself agreeing at his charges'
       encouragement.
       "Alright, suppose I can warm up with you first..." He said
       reluctantly, having a strong suspicion he was about to have his
       ass handed to him. He got into position for their match to
       start.
       Kouji realized a bit late that Shiro must have been planning on
       sparring with Taiyo himself. He kept from smirking when Shiro
       encouraged Taiyo to warm up. Oh...he'd get a warm up for sure.
       Kouji turned to peel his shirt off, showing off his ripped
       muscular upper body and the tattoos that covered every inch.
       Then got rid of his shoes and socks, and shot a look over at
       Taiyo already in his defensive position.
       "You really want to do this without gloves? How about we avoid
       the face. I'd hate to bruise that pretty face of yours,"
       Kouji pulled his hair up out of his face using the hair tie on
       his wrist to secure it into a top knot waiting for Taiyo's
       response.
       His eyes perusing the slender man's body slowly assessing where
       the other's weak points  might be.
       "Right, no face shots," Taiyō agreed with a blush at Kouji
       calling him cute. Soon the pair were going at it, exchanging
       blows.
       At first, the bodyguard thought he might actually have a chance
       of winning until Kouji took his feet out from under him and
       pinned him down on the training field grass. *"Fu.ck..."* was
       all he could manage. There was no way he was getting out of
       this. *"you win you win, let me up...."* he finally said in
       submission.
       Shiro watched the two fight. His eyes went wide to see
       Taiyō on his back and Kouji on top. A mix of feelings rose
       up as he began to feel jealous.
       Kouji grinned and moved in, using both judo and kickboxing moved
       to spar with Taiyō. It was actually rather fun, though he
       did hold back a bit, flirting with the man as they fought.
       Finally he managed to get Taiyō off his feet and was
       instantly on top of him, pinning the others shoulders onto the
       ground, his legs wrapped around Taiyo's midsection.
       *"Only when I've gotten my prize,"* Kouji replied, his usual
       reservation now gone.
       Before Taiyo could say anything, he leaned down and kissed the
       other man deeply on the lips.
       One of Taiyō's eyebrows rise when Kouji said he would let
       him up after he collected his prize before leaning  down to kiss
       the bodyguard changing the man's expression to one of shock,
       before he gave into the deep passion behind the kiss and letting
       Kouji explore his mouth as a moan escaped him.
       He had been focused on Shiro for so long, he had nearly
       forgotten what it felt like to be kissed, and he was pretty sure
       he had never been kissed like *this*.
       Shiro felt a wave of jealousy, for once his face looked a little
       hurt seeing that. He quietly went over to tap on Kouji.”you
       never mentioned using prizes..” he said in a tone that was
       unlike himself. He crossed his arms.”so if your done- I’d like
       *my* bodyguard back.” He said his eyes darkening a little.
       Kouji let out a pleased moan of his own, slipping his tongue
       into Taiyo's mouth to explore it more. The tap on his shoulder
       had him finally pulling back and glancing up at the very jealous
       Shiro.
       The dark glint in the other's eyes had him sitting up and
       grabbing Shiro by his shirt and hauling him in closer.
       "No need to be jealous Shiro, you can have one yourself," he
       purred and moved in to give the man a deep passionate kiss of
       his own.
       By the time the kiss was finally broken up, Taiyō was
       panting and blushing dark, the blush intensifying when he heard
       Shiro's clearly jealous voice and words, a dark look in the
       man's eyes he had never seen before.
       His eyes widened in shock when, while still straddling
       Taiyō, Kouji pulled Shiro down, *kissing him*. A look of
       confusion coloring his features. Clearly Kouji was way too pent
       up.
       Shiro heard the man mention about not being jealous to feel the
       yank of his collar and a mouth to blush way hard. The man never
       kissed in his life. So for another to do so brashly what he
       hadn’t done before showed on his face when they parted.”you took
       it..” he stammered to fall back a little.”that was suppose to be
       Taiyō’s!!” Stammered out more as his ears started to match
       his face. The back of his hand on his mouth. It was the one
       thing he kept himself from doing despite the flirting.
       On top of everything he was attempting to process kouji’s kiss
       and the idea of this guy liking him *that* way in his head. He
       was just now figuring himself out with how he felt with
       Taiyō, and now he had a whole nother feeling to sort out.
       *plus* with his desire to have Taiyō didn’t know if he’d be
       into having another guy in the relationship. He had hoped to
       talk to him about relationships and what he wanted out of one.
       Kouji was more than a little shocked by Shiro's reaction and his
       stammered words after he'd let the man go. He felt like an ass,
       for taking something that Shiro had planned on giving to Taiyo.
       He had noticed how close the two were, and he felt like an idiot
       for treating Shiro the way he had.
       He was instantly off of Taiyo and bowing to his superior.
       "I am truly sorry Shiro-sama, I shouldn't have done that. I
       deserve to be punished for my boldness and disregard for your
       person, and Taiyo. My deepest apologies."
       The reaction Shiro gave to being kissed had Taiyō blushing
       dark as the man claimed he had been saving the kiss for
       Taiyō. He was left speechless when Kouji scrambled off of
       him, finally letting Tai up.
       "You... were saving your... first kiss for... me?" He
       questioned, quite touched by such a notion.
       “Yes.. it was suppose to be yours.”said Shiro with a sigh. He
       heard Kouji.”I’m sorry, I got I. The middle of your spar.. and
       clearly you like tai.. didn’t think you liked me too.. just a
       lot to think about.” He admitted. “But since we are doing this.”
       He grabbed Taiyo by his shirt to pull him into a kiss. “I like
       you alright? Was hoping to wait for big brother Kuro to fix
       things to show I’m being serious about it.. I know I break the
       rules a lot.. and wasn’t sure if you’d believe me.” He said
       honestly.

       Re: Secret Desires- Taiyo, Shiro, Kouji
       By: Minyaagar Date: February 12, 2026, 10:54 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Kouji wasn't sure what was wrong with him. He'd spent so many
       years holding these feelings inside. Perhaps it would have been
       better to just keep them to himself. He was obviously just
       obsessed and not in a good way. It was probably just best to
       leave the two to spend the rare moment to themselves.
       He started towards his discarded shirt and shoes, only to freeze
       at the sound of a knife whizzing through the air. Kouji moved
       quickly, using his body to shield Taiyo and Shiro.
       "Shit the fu.ckers fast," came a bemused voice before five men
       came out and attempted to surround them.
       Kouji pulled the knife out of his arm and with deadly accuracy
       hit the speaker between the eyes with the blade. "And a master
       blade thrower, dumbass," Kouji replied with a wicked grin.
       "Finally a real challenge to test us,"
       This time Kouji didn't hold back, moving much faster to take out
       two of the remaining attackers, breaking bones and snapping
       necks. The blows that landed on him didn't seem to affect him,
       save for his eyes growing darker and his grin much creepier.
       The response Shiro gave had Taiyō at a loss for words. The
       man wanted him to know he was serious? To be honest, he probably
       wouldn't have believed him in most situations. Being pulled into
       a kiss by the man had the whole world melt away as he had been
       dreaming of kissing Shiro for years now.
       He had just began to notice Kouji trying to slip away before the
       man jumped in the way of a knife. Tai stared in shock as he
       pulled Shiro close to himself and out of the way of another
       attacker. The bodyguard slipped into action as he grabbed one of
       the remaining attacker's the arm to twist it behind the man's
       back before putting the last one into a choke hold when he went
       for Kouji.
       Once the men were delt with, Taiyō turned to Kouji, "Maybe
       we should... all go somewhere more secure to... talk?" He found
       himself suggesting as he looked to Shiro.
       Shiro felt the pull to see another one.”first the Italians and
       now this?” He muttered. One went for Taiyō to end up shot
       in the head.  Once things settled he agreed.”but first these
       fu.cks need to be dealt with.” He said his eyes looking for any
       sort of face to see a man approach them with white hair and a
       demeanor that made him feel death was at his front door.”I’ll
       take care of these… men.” Said death.”my apologies for their
       actions..” he said in a tone that was cold. He made a bow out of
       respect.”y..yeah.. let Kuro know.. he’s not merciful about these
       things..” he admitted before watching the group move away.
       Kouji was almost disappointed when the fight was so quickly over
       with. He turned to look at Taiyō, not quite sure why the
       bodyguard wanted to talk. Hearing Shiro agree, he finally
       nodded.
       "Sure, plus I could use a hand cleaning up my arm. Not easy
       doing it one handed,"
       The appearance of Death and his apologizing for the attack had
       Kouji laugh. "Well I'm not sorry. Was fun taking their sorry
       asses out. If Kuro wants them questioned let me know."
       Kouji got his shoes back on and moved his T-shirt over his
       shoulder and headed back to the mansion. "Can we talk after I
       get cleaned up?"
       "Yeah, we can talk after you get cleaned up," Taiyō agreed
       as he grabbed Shiro's hand and pulled the man along with him,
       back inside and to the room Shiro would be staying in.
       Technically Taiyō's room was across the hall.
       The bodyguard let go of the man's hand once they were safely
       inside the room and locked inside before he went to the bathroom
       to clean up a little before flopping onto the bed with a sigh.
       *"So.... Shiro.... what are you thinking? Would you prefer
       Kouji, or me? Or are you greedy and just want both? Because it
       kind of seems like that is maybe what Kouji wants..."*
       questioned while they had a brief moment alone.
       Shiro felt his hand grabbed as he flushed.”y..yeah get cleaned
       up.” He told Kouji. He felt the tug to feel his face heat up.
       Normally his body guard would have grabbed his arm or scooped
       him off his feet.. the hand holding felt connected and real. He
       cleaned up and was tugging a shirt on to hear the
       question.”*well I wanted to know if you wanted both or just me…
       I’m just not sure what to think of Kouji.. it feels new to me..
       would you be okay with sharing?*” he asked.
       Kouji waited patiently for the others to be done with the
       bathroom before going in to strip down and get in the shower. He
       let the hot water go for awhile before cleaning up and drying
       off.
       He was grateful the knife wound hadn't marred his tattoos too
       badly. He'd probably need a few stitches but didn't feel like
       seeing a doctor to do it. The less people that saw him the
       better.
       Kouji managed to get on his briefs and grabbed his med supplies.
       He went to knock on the door leading from the bathroom to the
       next door room.
       *"Uh hate to bother you two, mind giving me a hand now?"*
       *"I'm not against trying.... my feelings toward Kouji are....
       complicated... but I'm at least willing to try as long as you
       are..."* Taiyō answered as he laid on his side. He sat up
       shortly after when he heard the knock on the bathroom door when
       Kouji finished his shower.
       *"Yeah, come on in and I'll get you patched up,"* he found
       himself answering, feeling like him and Shiro were more on the
       same page, maybe they could do some sort of.... date with Kouji.
       When the man walked into the room in only his boxers, Taiyō
       couldn't pull his eyes away from the man's sexy body. *"come sit
       on the bed and I'll see what I can do,"* he managed to stammer
       out.
       Shiro listened to Taiyō as he told his own feelings for the
       man. “*I’ll give it a try… I know it feels complicated but …*”he
       started to hear the knock of the bathroom door to go open it.
       Shiro brushed his eyes over the man’s form. It was impressive he
       admitted to himself. Clearly been in a lot of fights.. his eyes
       wandered the old scars some.  He could see his bodyguard looking
       flustered to chuckle.”*you alright tai? Looking awfully
       flustered.. you know to feel less so- maybe you should take off
       more*” he teased a little to take his own shirt off.”.*see? Now
       I feel less flustered*”
       Kouji blinked looking at Shiro when the door opened. The way the
       man was looking him over had him feel more than a little
       confused. He had mixed feelings over Shiro teasing Taiyo and the
       stripping to show off his chest.
       *"What exactly is going on? I didn't mean to fluster anyone, I
       just couldn't get more on without making my arm bleed more.
       Though..I do like seeing more of you Shiro-sama,"* Kouji
       admitted and moved to sit cross legged on the bed, setting the
       medical kit down next to Taiyo's leg.
       *"I'm going to need at least ten stitches, if you haven't done
       it before I can walk you through it,"* he said, giving Taiyo a
       trusting look.
       *"Shiro!"* Taiyō protested as the mentioned man stripped
       off his shirt making the bodyguard's cheeks turned even more
       red. He didn't attempt to take his shirt off though, instead,
       tried to focus on Kouji's wounded arm. *"I've done stitches
       before, mean.... it was on myself but should be easier since I
       won't be the one flinching through the pain. You want some booze
       to dull the pain?" Taiyō asked, trying to be a little more
       serious.
       *"Don't pay him any mind, it only encourages him...."* he added
       as he worked on getting the man's arm cleaned up. Once the guy
       was ready, Taiyō began on the stitches, being as careful as
       he could manage given he was stabbing the guy with a needle to
       lace his skin back together. *"thankfully this doesn't look too
       deep..."* he mused as he worked.
       Shiro chuckled hearing his bodyguard to shift for the
       alcohol.”*seems they got whisky and beer what ya want Kouji*” he
       asked as he held out the options.”*not my fault your easy to
       tease a little,*” said the man to blush a little at the
       compliment.”thanks.. but clearly your way better looking than I
       .” He told Kouji.”looks like you been in enough fights too.. how
       long have you been doing this job?” He asked.
       Kouji was glad to hear that Taiyo had some experience with
       stitching up wounds. "Yeah a little whiskey will help," he said
       in answer to both of their talk of booze.
       "Won't need much though,"
       He took a sip from the bottle Shiro handed over and watched as
       Taiyo stitched his arm up. Though it hurt, his expression didn't
       change.
       "Kind of hard to ignore such a sexy man," Kouji muttered
       stealing another look at Shiro.
       "If he'd been better at knife throwing, it would have been much
       deeper," Kouji said with a chuckle.
       Shiro's comment about him being better looking had Kouji grin.
       "Better looking? We each have our own good looks, no need to
       compare ourselves. Men are sexy in every form."
       Kouji had to think for a moment about how long his training had
       been versus when he'd first been working.
       "I've been with the Yakuza doing training since 16, working
       since 18, so...8 yrs working the job."
       It was hard to focus with the two men seemingly flirting about
       who was hotter as Taiyō patched the man up. It wasn't long
       before he finished and put a cover over the fresh stitches.
       "There, all fixed, let us try to, not throw ourselves in front
       of blades, that is my job," he teased as he worked on cleaning
       up the mess from patching up Kouji.
       It didn't take long to clean the mess and pack everything still
       usable into the medical kit. "Would prefer you being in here
       willingly, not because you are hurt," he mused once done and sat
       back on the bed.
       Shiro chuckled. “Thank you for the compliment.. “ said the man
       to watch as his bodyguard patched the man up as he picked up on
       how long the man worked with them.”for sure.. if the man got
       deeper you’d have no choice- I’d make you see a doctor- heard
       this Kenzo fella does hella good work.” He said. “And he’s not
       wrong.. don’t mind hanging out you know..” said Shiro with a
       lopsided smile.
       Kouji gave Taiyo an amused look at the teasing. "It was my job
       first," he replied with a chuckle.
       Kouji shook his head at the talk of a doctor seeing him. "Maybe
       if he did room calls, that'd be okay,"
       He swept his hair back out of his face, his eyes flickering
       between the two when they spoke of spending time together. "So
       is this your way of saying you're both open to getting to know
       me better?"
       The blush resettled on Taiyō's cheeks as the conversation
       turned to what the trio truly needed to talk about. Tai
       scratched the back of his head feeling nervous. "Something like
       that, yeah. Mean, I've known you for a long time... but... I
       don't really *know* you... we... are both open to the idea of
       sharing...." He admitted, his eyes going to Shiro as he spoke,
       as if making sure he hadn't misunderstood their previous
       conversation.
       Shiro nodded.”I get you have a crush and all but to me it’s new.
       Just barely got to understand how I felt about Taiyō so
       please be patient with me.” He told the man. “Maybe a date or
       something..” he said to blush more.
       A rather pleased smile lit up Kouji's normally stoic face,
       making his eyes sparkle. Hearing that they both wanting to know
       more about him and going on a date was the best thing he'd heard
       in a long time.
       "I have been patient for years Shiro, so that won't be a
       problem. I'll tell you whatever you want to know, all you gotta
       do is ask. Though...there are parts of me that aren't so...
       nice.  I hope that won't scare you off. Just know, if anyone
       threatens or tries to hurt either of you, I will make them pay."
       He pushed his hair back again, making a thoughtful sound. "As
       for a date, that might be a bit tricky. But with three heads, we
       can figure out something,"
       Seeing the way Kouji's eyes and features lit up at whey Shiro
       had to say and then Kouji saying he had been patient for a long
       time, it made Taiyō wonder if he was possibly just in the
       way of the two being together without the third wheel that he
       was. He kept those thoughts to himself as he stood up and began
       to put things from Shiro's suitcase away. How own still sitting
       where he had left it against the wall.
       "Could probably do some kind of dinner and movie here at the
       manor, I doubt it would be all that constructive trying to keep
       Shiro safe and alive while trying to... actually chat..." He
       found himself suggesting. "Otherwise, would probably have to use
       some kind of disguise, and even then all three of us would
       probably be a give away..." He said, more to himself as his mind
       ran through all the potential dangers.
       The bodyguard often got lost in his own head over threat
       assessments, deciding how he would protect Shiro given potential
       dangers. Internally, he wasn't exactly including himself as he
       tried to think of ways for Shiro and Kouji to spend quality time
       together.
       Shiro chuckled.”we are the yakuza- there’s always gonna be not
       so nice moments.” He said as he began to think himself. “Movie
       at home don’t sound bad- get to finally have a pizza too..” said
       Shiro.”won’t have mom breathing down my neck.” He said to look
       at Taiyō.”can even get cuddly and maybe other things can
       happen..” he said near the bodyguard’s ear with a smirk.
       Kouji nodded at Shiro, his eyes following Taiyo as he moved
       around the room. "True, but neither of you have seen me work.
       Some say I'm a cold hearted bastard,"
       Kouji could practically see the wheels in Taiyo's head turning
       as he spoke. "If you wanted to blend in better, I can get you a
       black wig," he couldn't help but tease. "A movie and pizza
       sounds like a good first date for the three of us," he agreed.
       "And if you two want a date of your own, I can play bodyguard
       too. I've kept up on all the certifications."
       Seeing Shiro moving in speaking into Taiyo's ear, has Kouji
       moving to box the bodyguard between them.
       "Could make a Taiyo sandwich, that would be fun,"
       Taiyō was absently nodding his head at Shiro's suggestion
       until the man spoke right into his ear getting a shiver to roll
       down Tai's spin. A blush colored his cheeks as Kouji mentioned a
       black wig for him and rolled his eyes before Kouji was suddenly
       blocking him from moving away from Shiro or the dresser causing
       his blush to darken, even more so at Kouji's suggestion of a
       Taiyō sandwich.
       He tried to back up, only to bump into Shiro who was right
       behind him now. *"You two are on a mission to make me flustered
       aren't you?"* he questioned as his eyes ran over the nearly
       naked form of Kouji with Shiro's bare chest against his back. He
       wasn't sure how he managed to get caught between the two sexy
       barely dressed men, but he couldn't exactly say he was mad about
       it.
       Shiro smirked.”mayyyybe. But you’re clearly going into work
       mode.. this date involves you too you know.” He said to wrap his
       arms around Taiyō’s middle. “But clearly you’re not all mad
       about it, seems you don’t mind at all.” Purred the man into
       Taiyō’s ear.
       Kouji's eyes twinkled at Taiyo's question and the way the man's
       eyes roamed over his naked chest.
       "He's right. Don't be forgetting you're a part of this. I want
       you both, equally. That means giving you the same amount of my
       attention and affection. Speaking of, may I give you a kiss as a
       thank you for stitching me up?" Kouji asked trailing one hand up
       the other's neck as he pressed in even closer.
       Another shiver went through Taiyō when he felt Shiro's arms
       wrap around him as the man reminded him that this involved him
       as well. The color of his cheeks didn't improve as Kouji echoed
       Shiro in the sentiment that this was going to involve the three
       of them and that Kouji wanted them *both*.
       A groan left him when the man's hand traveled up his neck as
       Kouji asked to kiss him. The pair practically have Taiyō's
       heart pounding out of his chest at all the attention. "I um...
       yeah... you... you can kiss me..." He stammered out in
       confirmation. It wasn't often Tai was so caught off guard like
       this.
       Shiro gave a chuckle at how Taiyō was acting a little. The
       flustered man finally accepting the request of a kiss.”that’s
       how your suppose to do it.” He said to blush. Seeing how Kouji
       was with the man and how his hand was running up his bodyguards
       neck left his own mind wandering.
       After he'd gotten the man's stammered answer, Kouji's hand moved
       up further, drawing Taiyo's face down towards him. He shifted to
       his toes to crash his lips against Taiyo's own, his chest
       pressing into the other's body., creating a Taiyo sandwich.
       Kouji reluctantly pulled away after a few moments with a groan.
       "I should go before I lose control again..seems to slip when I'm
       around the both of you,"
       Feeling Kouji's hands trail up to his face and pull Taiyō
       into a kiss and pressing against him like that had a moan escape
       him as his hands moved to rest on the man's chest as he was
       sandwiched between the two men.
       His eyes fluttered closed as he began to lose himself in the
       sensation before Kouji pulled away from him with a groan.
       Hearing Kouji talking about his control slipping had the
       bodyguard chuckling.
       "You don't say, couldn't tell at *all* when you kissed me in the
       field earlier," he teased as he let himself lean against Shiro a
       little more. "Can help you get redressed if you like, I know
       that arm can't feel good." He suggested.
       Shiro watched as the two kissed to chuckle softly.”I can help
       too. And that was much hotter.” Said Shiro. He pulled
       Taiyō’s face toward him after he spoke to kiss the side of
       his mouth to move away.”if it gets infected though- doctor-
       don’t wanna hear it.” Said Shiro.
       Kouji's eyes got a bit darker at Taiyo mentioning the earlier
       kissing on the field. He smirked hearing Shiro saying their
       second kiss had been hotter.
       "I'm actually good for now, I tend to run hotter when I sleep. I
       may need help dressing in the morning though. I'll get some
       antibiotics to take and keep changing the dressing. I've taken
       care of wounds before. Sleep well you too, see you in the
       morning," Kouji added and went back to his room.
       "See you first thing in the morning then, try not to do anything
       reckless before then," Taiyō found himself teasing as he
       watched Kouji leave.
       The bodyguard then turned around in Shiro's arms to face the man
       and rest his forhead on the man's. "Should get ready for bed
       ourselves," he mused before he leaned in to steal a kiss before
       he pulled away and went about making himself a palet on the
       floor, it was his usual practice as he didn't want to tempt
       himself by sharing a bed with Shiro, though he couldn't let the
       man sleep in the room itself alone.
       "I'll probably come wake you up when I finish helping Kouji in
       the morning, see if he don't want to grab breakfast together,"
       he suggested once he finished.
       Shiro smiled.”night Kouji!” He said before he saw his bodyguard
       turn around and  felt the head press to smile softly.  He then
       felt the kiss and watched how he went to make himself a splint
       to sleep.”just come in bed with me already!” Said Shiro.”I
       always feel bad when you take the floor.” Said the man.”and if
       you don’t I’ll sleep on the floor with you.. that’s a promise.”
       He said.
       "Are.... are you sure?" Taiyō asked with a dark blush at
       Shiro's sudden outburst. He could tell the man was serious from
       that stubborn look in his eyes. He let out a sigh as he cleaned
       up what he had taken out.
       "If... you really want me to sleep with you, I suppose I can't
       refuse," he said softly.
       Shiro smiled seeing that Taiyō finally agreed to. In the
       past the man would usually say some line that would flatter him
       but it seemed this time- thanks to events agreed to it. “Yes I
       do..” said Shiro. Once the man was in bed did Shiro cuddle up to
       the man, making a smile that was of someone that was happy to
       have someone close.”let’s get some sleep.” He said to kiss
       Taiyō softly. “Got a day tomorrow..” he said to chuckle.
       It was strange laying in bed with Shiro cuddled up against him
       like this. He had wanted this for so long and yet his stomach
       was in knots over it. "Sleep well," Taiyō said softly as he
       kissed the man back befkre he tried to sleep. Thankfully, it
       didn't take all that long considering how long of a day the two
       had.
       When morning rolled around, Taiyō quietly slipped out of
       the bed and went into the bathroom to take care of his morning
       routine, throwing on his jeans but deciding he didn't want
       potential blood on his shirt so opted to knock on Kouji's
       bathroom door shirtless. It was a little bit of revenge as well
       for the previous night.
       Though sleep had come quickly for Kouji, his night was filled
       with dreams of Shiro and Taiyo and some very erotic fantasies.
       He woke to the knock and let out a soft groan to find his body
       naked and tangled in the sheets.
       "Come in," he called out, as he attempted to free himself of the
       sheets that had wrapped around his legs.
       His hair was quite a mess from having moved around during the
       night. "Can I get a hand please, can't quite seem to get out of
       this stupid sheet!" He complained wrenching at it and making
       himself fall out of bed completely exposed on his backside.
       "oww," he complained reaching up to rub his head and then
       blinked seeing Taiyo's bare chest. "Ohh...good morning sexy," he
       said with a grin.
       When Taiyō heard Kouji beckon him through the closed door,
       he was far from prepared for what he would find as he walked in
       to a struggling Kouji trying to get free of his sheets, even
       falling onto the bed as he asked for help.
       The bodyguard's cheeks were a bright red as he got a nice view
       of the man's ass and reluctantly walked over to grab hold of the
       sheet and pull it away to reveal a very naked Kouji. "Good
       morning..." He answered, trying to not stare at the naked man as
       he helped the guy to his feet.
       Kouji was more than a little distracted by Taiyo's gorgeous
       chest. It took him a bit to shake it off and get to his feet
       with the other's help. His first concern was checking over his
       injured arm, not seeming to care that he was completely naked in
       front of the other man.
       "Well that's good, the stitches are intact. What are you looking
       away...oh," Kouji couldn't help but smirk realizing that Taiyo
       was trying to avoid looking at his naked body.
       "You know, I don't care if you look, it doesn't bother me in the
       slightest bit," he said with a wink.
       Kouji went to grab briefs from his luggage bag and got them on.
       His arm wasn't hurting quite as badly, but he'd still need help
       with pants and his shirt.
       Kouji assembled his outfit, a short sleeved button up red shirt,
       black slacks and a necklace.
       "Should probably change the dressing first," he said sitting
       down on the edge of his bed and ripping the tapped bandage off
       quickly without flinching. "How's it looking? Does it need
       anything on it?"
       The lack of shyness on Kouji's part had Taiyō blushing even
       darker as the men told him he could look. Still, he kept his
       eyes averted until the man at least had his boxers on. "Just get
       something on..." He had muttered before finally letting himself
       look at the man when Kouji sat on the bed after pulling out
       clothes for the day.
       A sigh left Tai as he walked over to examine the wound before he
       applied some ointment and rebandaged it. "It looks good, well,
       as good as a relatively fresh knife wound can look I guess, I
       don't think it needs anything extra." He said before he went to
       grab the man's shirt to help him start getting dressed. "How do
       you feel about the three of us getting breakfast together this
       morning? Could even let you wake Shiro up," he suggested, trying
       to be flirty.
       Taiyō's shyness had Kouji grin to himself. He'd gotten over
       that long before having brought into the Yakuza to train. Still
       it was kind of cute.
       Kouji stayed still and kept his hands to himself when Taiyo
       moved into close to work on his wound. "Thanks for the help, and
       sorry for flashing you. I should have mentioned I usually sleep
       in the nude,"
       Kouji liked having Taiyo's helping hands on him and getting to
       be close.
       "Sure sounds good to me," Kouji replied with a grin.
       He slid on some shoes and took Taiyo's hand pulling the other
       behind him into thr next room. "He did mention he preferred
       being asked first before being kissed...so how should I wake
       him?"
       A wide grin came to Taiyō's lips when Kouji seemd on board
       with getting breakfast together and blushed at the guy took his
       hand and pulled him along into Shiro's room. At Kouji's
       question, Tai got a thoughtful expression.
       "Mmmm mean... usually I'm not exactly nice about waking him up,
       cold water usually works wonders, though he is usually in a mood
       when I do that. Alternatively, could steal his blankets and you
       could snuggle him awake.... or push him out of bed, there are
       options," he mused with a chuckle.
       "sounds like how we'd get woken during training if we slept in,"
       Kouji commented with a chuckle. "Are you normally that cruel
       when waking him up?" He teased.
       Kouji moved to Shiro and stroked a hand through the bright red
       hair leaning over to speak in a huskier tone
       "Shiro, time to get up. You're gonna miss me making out with
       Taiyō,"
       Shiro snuggled in his pillow feeling the hair stroke. He heard a
       voice  that wasn’t Taiyō’s as he moved.”not without me..”
       he mumbled to open his eyes wider to see Kouji. “Holy..” he
       started moving back and falling off the bed.
       "Not always, buuuuuut usually, i cant resist a good prank."
       Taiyō mused before his eyes widened at what Kouji switched
       to a sexy husky tone and threated Shiro with missing out on them
       making out. His growing blush spred rapidly at Shiro's almost
       immediately responding that it wouldn't be without him before
       seeming to wake more and tumbled off the bed in a start.
       The bodyguard couldn't help but begin laughing his ass off at
       this, *"oh God, that was great!"* he managed to get out between
       bursts of laughter.
       Kouji cursed softly, wincing as Shiro fell out of the bed trying
       to get away from him.
       "Am I really that scary to see first thing in the morning?"
       Kouji asked and moved to offer Shiro a hand up. "You didn't hurt
       yourself did you?" He asked, trying to ignore Taiyo's laughter.

       Re: Secret Desires- Taiyo, Shiro, Kouji
       By: Minyaagar Date: February 12, 2026, 11:22 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Shiro took the hand.”if you woke up to someone that wasn’t there
       before- you’d jump too.” Said Shiro as he took the hand to look
       at Taiyō.”you put him up to it huh?” He said to walk over
       and pulled the man down for a deep kiss.
       The bodyguard didn't stop laughing until Shiro accused him of
       putting Kouji up to this. "I mean, I suggested pouring water on
       you," he began to muse with a snicker before ge was silenced as
       he was pulled down into a kiss, getting a groan out of him as he
       melted against the man's lips.
       "If it was you or Taiyo I'd be very happy. Though if it was a
       stranger, they'd end up with black eyes and a broken nose,"
       Kouji admitted, letting go after helping Shiro to his feet.
       He couldn't help but shake his head in amusement as Shiro
       confronted Taiyo and pulled the man into a deep kiss.
       He watched for a few moments, taking in the sexy sight. "As much
       as I would enjoy watching you two go at it all morning, I'm kind
       of hungry here. When you're done with eating each other's faces,
       you can have mine,"
       Shiro heard the man talk to break from his kiss to chuckle.
       “Fine fine.. swear, “ said Shiro to walk over and pull kouji
       down a little for another deep kiss.”I’m going to shower, you
       two can.. talk.” He said to chuckle to get ready for the day. It
       would be a few moments the shower would start, clothes gone and
       the man in the shower.
       His mind was on what he’d see his brother about and what he
       could do to help, he slicked his hair back in thought.  He felt
       like taking in the place and hoped he wouldn’t have a repeat of
       yesterday having to fight those that opposed his brother inside
       the mansion itself.
       The kiss was fluttering enough, so when Kouji expressed being
       *hungry* it had Taiyō blushing even more. When the kiss
       broke, he watched as Shiro pulled Kouji into a very similarly
       deep kiss before suggesting he and the man could 'talk'. He half
       wondered if Shiro hoped to walk in on the both of them going at
       it.
       *"Swear, one way or another that man is going to be the death of
       me..."* the shy feeling Taiyō half grumbled in his native
       tongue.
       Kouji very enthusiastically kissed Shiro back, letting out a
       happy groan.
       "We may do more than just talking," he teased, watching as Shiro
       headed into the bathroom.  Kouji chuckled hearing Taiyo's
       complaining and seeing how red the others face had gotten.
       "So anything that you want to talk about while Shiro's busy? I'm
       probably going to have a look around a bit later, get a feel for
       the layout and see what Kuro's men here have going on for
       training."
       Hearing Kouji mention doing more than just talking had a shiver
       run through him, though he was a little relieved that when Shiro
       was actually gone into the bathroom, that Kouji actually did
       want to converse. "I try not to plan out my day too strictly.
       Any time I do.... Shiro decides he wants to go on one of his...
       *little adventures*... which is basically just me trying to keep
       up with him while he follows his whims... all that time,
       mentally planning and getting ready? Useless," Taiyō
       chuckled in complaint.
       "He keeps me on my toes. I think he plans on seeing what Kuro
       needs help with, maybe later today we could have another sparing
       session, though, prizes need to be discussed beforehand," he
       mused with a smirk, his shyness slowly leaving as he relaxes
       into the conversation.
       "yeah, I've noticed he likes being unpredictable, which isn't a
       bad thing. If you have too much of a structured routine, it can
       cause more problems. Having to be on your toes and being fluid
       makes you better at your job,"
       Kouji couldn't help but grin at Taiyo's suggesting another
       sparring session and figuring out prizes ahead of time.
       "We can do that. What sort of prizes are you interested in?"
       A nod of agreement left Taiyō as Kouji pointed out how a
       routine could be dangerous in of itself before asking what kind
       of prize the he would be interested in. "Oh.... um.... I don't
       know... to be entirely honest, I don't think I can beat you in
       sparing... you are... scary good," he found himself admitting in
       shy praise.
       "Kind of pointless to think of some prize I might never get," he
       added with a chuckle.
       "then, maybe we should do something that you're skilled at. Like
       basketball. I should try and brush up on my skills,"  Kouji
       suggested.
       It was nice to hear that Taiyo thought he was good, but didn't
       want to make Taiyo feel like his skills were any less. "Maybe
       instead of sparring, we could train together. Build up your
       skills more," he suggested. "As for the basket ball game, winner
       could get to pick the first date out for the three of us?"
       At the mention of basketball Taiyō's eyes lit up, it was
       his favorite sport. He scratched his chin as he thought for a
       long moment. "I like that idea, yeah, on both accounts. I will
       always be down for a little basket ball, and I can always get
       better with my fighting... if I am going to protect Shiro... I
       will need to...." He said as his excitement of playing a game
       was tainted by the echo of worry.
       "Thinking maybe something in a town or two over, where no one
       expects us to be.... could go rollerblading! Wouldn't that be
       fun? Haven't done that in *years* though.... if we were going to
       be in public... me and Shiro might need a disguise of some
       sort." He cockily mused, deciding to think about kicking Kouji's
       ass in a friendly game of ball.
       Kouji loved seeing how Taiyo's eyes lit up at the mention of
       basketball. He knew how skilled the man was at the game, and if
       he had to lose to someone he didn't mind it being Taiyo.
       Seeing the hint of worry in Taiyo's eyes had Kouji reaching out
       to squeeze his arm. "Hey now, don't start doubting your
       abilities. You're good at it. "
       He nodded at Taiyō's suggestion of going a few towns over
       to go rollerblading. "I'm more into skateboarding myself, but
       that does sound like fun. I can help you with disguises."
       The sudden reassurance of Kouji about his ability to protect
       Shiro had Taiyō blushing a little. "Skateboarding? Oh,
       maybe we could find a skatepark, or something like that..." He
       said, glad the man seemed to like the idea.
       He took Kouji's hand and led him over to the couch to take a
       seat while they waited on Shiro, tugging the man down as he sat
       himself down. "What would you pick for a date?" He questioned.
       "that would be great, it's been awhile since I've been to one.
       Would probably have to get a board first though. Kind of hard to
       travel with one,"
       Kouji glanced at the bathroom when he felt Taiyo take his hand
       and pulled him over to the couch. "I like doing active things or
       experiences. My last date, I went rock climbing, but that was
       years ago. I've been wanting to go base jumping or sky diving
       though. Would you be interested? Or is it too daring for you?"
       At Kouji's ideas of a date and the last one the man went on had
       Taiyō raising an eyebrow, even higher when the man asked if
       that was too daring for him. "I'll try almost anything once," he
       mused.
       "Think I'm already interested, Shiro should be coming out soon,
       we should give him something nice and sexy to see when we walks
       in," he found himself suggesting, the idea of seeing the man's
       reaction trumping his shyness in that moment.
       "Ah good, you're an adventurous type of guy. Can't wait to find
       out more about you," Kouji grinned, a look of approval in his
       eyes.
       "Oh? What do you think he'd find hotter? You in my lap or me on
       top of you making out?" Kouji asked, reaching to pull Taiyo
       closer by his shirt collar.
       A flutter of butterflies filled his stomach when Kouji pulled
       him closer by the collar of his shirt, asking how he wanted to
       make out.  "Both of those sound quite hot... not sure which he
       would like better... might go a little too far if I let you get
       on top of me... loose myself when you kiss me..." He admitted
       with a dark blush.
       "then I guess I get you in my lap," Kouji purred, using both
       hands to move the taller man into his lap, and crashing his
       mouth into Taiyo's.
       His hands moved to slide under the other's shirt to roam over
       the man's smooth skin.  It wasn't long before they were in the
       middle of a steamy make out session, bringing hot moans from
       Kouji as his hands explored Taiyo's lean body.
       The breathe in Taiyō's throat caught at Kouji's words
       before the man pulled him into his lap. Moments later, the
       bodyguard was lost in Kouji's kiss, the man's hands explore
       under Tai's shirt got moans out of him as his own hands started
       to explore.
       Shiro had finished showering to dry off and wrapped a towel
       around his waist. He smoothed his hair again to walk into the
       room to see the men already going at it to blush and smirk a
       little.”oh so sexy.. figured a nice long hot shower for me you’d
       get down and dirty enough.” Joked Shiro as he went to grab
       clothes.
       Kouji's hands had dipped to squeeze Taiyo's ass when he heard
       the bathroom door open. Shiro's voice had Kouji slowly pulling
       his lips away to shoot a dirty smirk at the other's joke.
       "When you both are ready for getting dirty, just let me know.
       Not about to go that far until you're both ready."
       Hearing the bathroom door open as Kouji grabbed his ass had a
       moan come out of Taiyō before the kiss was broken. His
       cheeks a nice dark red at what both men said. "Need to at least
       have a first date don't you think?" He found himself teasing as
       he looked back at Shiro, blushing even more realizing the man
       was only in a towel.
       "Get dressed so we can go get breakfast... I'm starving," he
       suggested, letting his shyness get the better of him.
       Shiro chuckled a bit at kouji’s flirting. “Yes dating first..”
       he told taiyō before letting the towel drop without much
       reservation.”I’m getting there.” He said as he pulled on some
       boxers on first.”think after go talk to kuro to see what we can
       do to help.. just being here isn’t enough for me…” he said with
       a sigh.
       "alright, I get it. Dating, flirting, kissing first. Other stuff
       comes later." Kouji sighed out before he got quite the eye full
       of Shiro's naked body.
       "Glad that you're not shy about your gorgeous body Shiro, but if
       you keep that up, I may not be able to control myself too much
       longer. You realize I've been waiting for a chance with you both
       for years right? Couldn't even think of doing anything with
       anyone else. Obsession is a bitch," Kouji groaned in
       frustration, letting his hands fall off of Taiyo. "You'd better
       move off of me," he muttered to the bodyguard.
       He was on his feet once Taiyo had gotten off and heading towards
       the door. "I'll be in the cafeteria, come find me when you're
       ready. I'll make it easy this time," he added with a grin before
       closing the door behind him.
       It was a relief for both men to agree they needed to date first
       but his eyes went wide as Shiro gave them both an eyeful when
       the towel dropped. Kouji's frustrated groan after complaining
       about his waneing self control had Taiyō quickly out of the
       man's lap when requested.
       He was still blushing quite dark as Kouji made his way to leave.
       "See you there," Tai managed as he tried to keep himself from
       staring at Shiro as he watched Kouji leave.
       "I'm sure he has something for you to do to keep you busy
       enough," he teased before he finally let himself glance at Shiro
       and looking away again seeing the man wasn't quite dressed yet.
       Shiro chuckled at the man’s praise of his body.”I know I know-
       but you are in my room kouji.. “ he said to him as he watched
       Taiyo move off. “Alrighty! We will see you there.” He told the
       man to give a smile. It only went wider seeing taiyō
       finally looking at him to finish up.”you should shower up tai,
       and get ready.. so we can see what we can do later to help.” He
       said.
       "I took a shower before I woke Kouji up, I'm ready to go
       whenever you are ready," Taiyō mentioned as he waited,
       getting up from the couch when Shiro was finally ready to leave.
       The two headed out toward breakfast taking in the people. It was
       clear there was a variety around as Shiro took in Michael whose
       ears twitched and tail swayed as he was actively signing to
       recon to make a silent laugh as his shoulders shook. Shiro
       couldn’t help but blush at the fox like man- being how tall he
       was. He was passing by what would have been and empty office to
       see a dark haired woman rushing out and nearly bumping into him
       and his brother coming out. She rushed off as Kuro gave an
       audible sigh. “What happened? Did she have a crush?” He asked to
       hear Kuro groan.”don’t start! She’s one of the innocents that
       was experimented on..” he said.”go eat and we can talk later.”
       He told him as Shiro gave some concern.”o..okay..” said the man
       softly before heading out to the dining area.
       His eyes took in what would resemble almost like a cafeteria.
       Some tables seemed more intimate from the general area to find
       kouji. His eyes taking in the giants that sat down to seeing the
       dark haired girl sitting down with two men. “Morning.. just
       wow..” he murmured as Daevon was trailing behind his father.
       Kouji had been silently observing the crowd of unusual people,
       picking a table where he could see everyone coming and going,
       close to an exit door. There was a few tables filled with War's
       men near him, each one shooting him odd looks. Kouji just
       glanced back at them with a blank expressionless look.
       He picked up the cup of coffee he'd snagged to take a long
       drink, finally spying the familiar pink head of Taiyo come into
       view. Not wanting to draw too much attention, Kouji took off the
       hood of his sweatshirt and fixed his hair with his hand.
       The hussle and bussle of the masion was far more intense with
       the morning rush of people going about their duties and
       chatting. He was decently sure the dark haired woman that had
       rushed out had cat ears and a tail, given he had already seen a
       fox man, he was pretty sure he was right in what he saw,
       especially when Kuro scolded Shiro about the woman having been
       experimented on.
       Taiyō's eyes scanned over the dinning hall, taking in all
       the strange people inside. He saw the woman again, sitting down
       at a table with death and two men who had just past them and
       watched the odd interaction.
       He finally spotted Kouji fussing with his hair at a booth and
       looped his arm with Shiro's to drag him over to their waiting
       breakfast date. "This seat taken?" He teased before having Shiro
       go in first and sat next to the man. "Hope we didn't keep you
       waiting too long," he added as his eyes looked over the room.
       Shiro felt the drag to sit down and sighed.”sorry about that-
       just didn’t expect to see such a variety..” he said his eyes
       pulling away from the woman to see a rather short one talking
       with what looked like a man with white hair. It seemed they were
       flirting a little bit- and seemed normal from the rest.. till
       famine walked by. He watched the female flip forms and the pink
       haired man go sailing into what looked like one of war’s man
       table- managing the oatmeal bowl.”think I’ll just do pancakes..”
       said Shiro with a small look.
       Kouji's lip twitched in amusement at Taiyo's teasing question.
       "Now it is," he replied, with a grin.
       "Not at all, I've been people watching. Lots of interesting
       things going on, if you can believe the gossip or not," he
       murmured.
       "Nah you're good. I've been thinking the same.
       The sudden unexpected flight of the short pink haired man had
       him tense as the man face planted in a bowl of oatmeal. He held
       back a laugh, as a African American the size of a mountain
       pulled the man out of his food and set the guy on his feet and
       handed a napkin to him.
       "Pancakes does seem like the better selection," he agreed.
       "There's a lot more to choose from. And I believe there's a chef
       making omelettes by order if you ask nicely,"
       "Intresting is certainly the word to use," Taiyō mused
       before he saw the pink haired man get launched across the place
       and land in some oatmeal. His eyes wide in shock as a man with
       light long hair and fake eyes rushed over after the guy was set
       back on his feet, taking the napkins from the large man and
       started to fuss over the pink haired man.
       He shook his head as his attention returned to the two at his
       table talking about getting pancakes before Kouji mentioned made
       to order omelets. "I might have to go be a little sweet on the
       chef then if it gets me a proper omelet," he teased.
       "Keep an eye on Shiro and make sure no one tries to off him
       while I'm gone," he teased before the bodyguard went to the open
       kitchen window to ask for an omelet. He returned not long after
       with a number plack to put on the table. "Order placed" he mused
       cheerfully.
       Shiro nodded watching how the man was fussing over famine who
       was looking like he was insisting he was okay till his face saw
       Taiyō.”… and I think he remembers..” said Shiro to see the
       man already approaching Taiyō.”hey fu.ckface!” He heard as
       famine said.”next time watch where your driving!!” He said
       before taking Sebastian’s hand to run off as Shiro just
       chuckled.”guess we won’t get bored here. “ he said as he settled
       on his hand. “Hey was thinking we could totally watch a horror
       or something funny- like stupid funny?” He said to look over at
       the men.  “And for the meal I know I’m dying for a meat lovers.”
       He said before their food was brought to them. “Damn.. food
       looks good!” He said with a smile.
       Kouji shot an amused look at Taiyō when he mentioned
       getting sweet with the chef. "What, us two aren't enough for
       you?" He couldn't help but teased back. "I'll keep a really
       close eye on him," Kouji promised with a grin.
       Seeing the other pink haired man approach, had Kouji shift and
       his hand moved to the knife he had hidden on the inside of his
       arm.
       He relaxed once the guy finished cursing Taiyo for his driving
       skills. He cocked his head listening as Shiro brought up ideas
       for their movie night date.
       "Horror doesn't really do much for me honestly. Stupid funny
       with action would be all right. Like those old Jackie Chan
       movies," he suggested. "I know, I'm aware I have outdated tastes
       in movies,"
       "Seisei," Kouji thanked the server that brought out their
       pancakes and the omelette that had been ordered.
       "I'm good with whatever pizza you two want, I like all kinds of
       pizza,"
       Kouji was halfway through his stack of pancakes when a fight
       broke out between several Mafia guys and two of War's men. He
       slid out of the booth, abandoning his food.
       "We should go before it gets worse," he said moving to block
       Shiro from the flying dishes and chairs being thrown. One very
       nearly hit him in the side of the head and got snagged at the
       last moment by one of the mountain sized men.
       "That's enough! Stand down!" The black man ordered in a loud
       voice that resonated through the room and Kouji's bones. "Get
       your asses on the training field now,"
       Kouji was more than a little impressed but was ready to get out
       of there, and moved to use the exit door nearby.
       "Well that was a close one. Maybe we should go only during slow
       times, or get groceries so we can cook our own food,"
       It wasn't long after he had returned that the pink haired man
       started to curse him out about his driving before running off
       with the man who had been fussing over him. Thankfully that was
       the end of the conflict before their food arrived.
       "I'm good with stupid funny," he commented just before a fight
       began to break out. Taiyō couldn't help but put a
       protective arm around Shiro. "Good idea," he agreed with Kouji
       before getting out of the booth and pulling Shiro to his feet
       before pulling him away from all the fighting and chaos. "So
       much for breakfast.." He complained having barely touched his
       food.
       Shiro was about done with his pancakes when the fighting began,
       of course he saw the dish coming out, and the black man making
       orders. Shiro felt his arm taken to be dragged from the chair to
       pull his arm from the man. He noticed a woman looking rather
       pleased with the fight and frowned at the ones still going.”hold
       on.” He said to roll his sleeves. He walked over and rotated his
       shoulder.”hey!” Said the short man to one of the taller mafia
       men as his hand connected to the chin of the one that was
       sassing at the  black man.”he said stand down! And your under
       big bros orders- your makin’ him look bad by being stupid.” He
       said as his leg went behind to knock him on his knees  as the
       man seemed shocked.”and can’t fight worth a damn..” he said as
       his leg went up and down on top of the man’s head to force a
       dogeza position.”apologize!” He snapped as a pained sorry came
       out.”louder!” He said his foot on the man’s back as he heard a
       louder sorry.”you ruined my appetite too- so you’re gonna help
       these nice people clean the kitchen and if you don’t..” his hand
       went down to grab the man’s hair and raised the man’s head
       enough.”I’ll beat you within an inch of your life.. I may not
       look it but I’m tougher than I look.” He said as he heard the
       whimper and watched him scramble off to clean.”sorry about that
       and thanks for catching that dish- or kouji would have had a
       bloody head…” he said to bow to the man respectfully.
       Kouji was a bit alarmed when Shiro pulled away from Taiyō
       and headed over to deal with one of the Mafia guys mouthing off
       to the huge black guy.
       Kouji silently moved in closer, just in case the idiot had
       friends who might try and interfer with Shiro's discipline. He
       was rather impressed by how Shiro got the man to submit.
       Switch had been holding himself back from slapping the idiot
       that had been arguing with him across the room. It pleased him
       the way Kuro's brother dealt with the problem and gave the red
       haired man a nod, his eyes showing approval.
       "Might I suggest just getting a whole group of Yakuza to serve
       Albert? These Italian Mafia are just hotheaded idiots. Would be
       a lot easier to do out actual training and work without them
       causing my men trouble." Switch spoke up. "I'm aware of who Your
       man Kouji is, would hate for such a skilled man to get hurt." He
       added, catching Kouji's eye and then gave Shiro a respectful bow
       back.
       "All right you bootlickers, get to work! Start cleaning up this
       mess! Zero, go grab some tools from the garage, see if these
       chairs and tables can be salvaged at all," Switch ordered.
       Kouji moved to follow Shiro closely until they were back in the
       hallway outside the cafeteria. It made him feel odd knowing that
       His skills were well known to Switch.
       "Still hungry Taiyo?" He asked recalling the other man hadn't
       eaten much. "If we're unable to have meals here, we may need to
       get some groceries," he said thoughtfully. "We could have them
       delivered so we don't have to go off site," he added.

       Re: Secret Desires- Taiyo, Shiro, Kouji
       By: Minyaagar Date: February 12, 2026, 11:31 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A groan left Taiyō when Shiro pulled away from him, knowing
       well what was likely to come next. The bodyguard could only
       cross his arms and look around to make sure the man didn't get
       jumped while kicking this idiots ass. He had to admit, it was
       always a turn on to watch the guy loose it on people who
       deserved it.
       Soon enough, the offender was scurrying off to lick his wounds
       and do as he was told. The exchange between the giant of a man
       and Shiro seemed to end on a positive note. Even once they had
       exited into the hallway, Taiyō was still on edge as his
       eyes looked for danger in every shadowy corner.
       "I'll be fine, not the first time I had to skip out on a
       meal..." Taiyō commented, remembering that he didn't get to
       eat at the airport either. In fact, now that he thought about
       it, he hadn't actually ate a proper in a while. Usually, he
       would get maybe a bite in before something happened that
       required his attention. "Groceries wouldn't be a bad idea... one
       less thing to worry about..." He responded.
       “Well we can get it delivered- I feel like cooking now- mind
       getting stuff meant for pasta? Been wanting it for a while now.”
       He said with a blink. “And sorry- just- can’t just sit back and
       let them act like it shits- gonna let kuro know im asking for
       the guys that support us to come over- that Albert guy can’t run
       this place worth a damn.” He said not caring for the filter.
       While he did break rules his father instilled for relationships-
       he did have a respect for the way he ran it for those that were
       in the wrong. “It’s like he doesn’t know how to tighten the
       leash on these dogs!” He said with a huff.
       Kouji shook his head slightly at Taiyo saying he'd be fine
       skipping a meal. "You skipped more than one now," he replied,
       quite aware of the other missing several meals. "If you want to
       do your job properly you have to take better care of your body.
       Or...I guess I could do it." He couldn't help but tease,
       shooting a look over at the other body guard.
       "What kind of pasta did you want to make?" He asked Shiro as he
       pulled out a notebook to start making up a list. "You still both
       wanted to do that movie/pizza date tonight right?"
       He figured if they were going to have pizza, he might as well
       make it. Homemade was far better than any delivery or grocery
       pizza in his opinion.
       "The guy had it coming, don't apologize for doing your job,
       Shiro-sama. And you're right, he's got other things on his mind
       distracting him. He might be a Gotti, but he's not the ruthless
       man his father was. Which for War and Kuro is a good thing,"
       "That's why Kuro-sama was sent here in the first place, fucker
       can't run this place in the slightest..." Taiyō commented
       before his cheeks turned quite red with a blush at Kouji
       claiming he would have to make sure the man ate. "I do my job
       just fine..." was the only protest he could offer as the subject
       changed to what Shiro wanted to cook.
       "Yeah, movie night, think we settled on comedy, are you wanting
       to make pasta for tonight? Kind of have my heart set on pizza,"
       he joked. He didn't have much more to offer commentary was as he
       kept his eyes on any potential danger until he had Shiro secure
       in a room again. His hyper vigilant nature what was made him
       such a good bodyguard.
       “Well I changed my mind to pasta..” he joked.”yanno the type you
       can slurp up with the red sauce.. “ he said teasing a little.
       He sighed.”*no kidding- but despite the fact our parents are
       being shitty for one area- we did at *least* have some sense of
       family, guess someone dropped that ball..*” he said in Japanese
       till they reached his room. That was when he saw his brother
       rushing his way and practically grabbed him by the arm and
       seemed to run his eyes over and flung him around.”I’m fine! Tai
       and kouji kept me safe long with one of those giant guys!” He
       said to turn around.”had to be sure! Heard there was a fight and
       you were involved..” said Kuro.
       “Maybe like …” he said to think and held his fingers a few
       inches apart.”that much. Made the fucker realize that he can’t
       be acting up so should be cleaning.”said Shiro.
       Kuro sighed.”alright.. just rest for a little- need anything?”
       He asked.
       “Nah!“ he said to get to the door of his room.
       Kouji nodded at Taiyō's comment, knowing he probably
       shouldn't talk about Albert's business out in the open. He
       grinned wider at his fellow bodyguard's face at his suggestion.
       Taiyo hadn't protested against him taking care of him, he
       realized.
       "Oh you do, but if you pass out due to not eating, that would be
       bad. So from now on, I'll make sure you both eat," Kouji said in
       a tone that meant business, and didn't want to hear any
       protests.
       "We can have both, I'll make the pizza and Shiro can make the
       pasta." Kouji suggested, knowing that if there were leftovers
       they could eat off of them the next day.
       Kouji nearly unleashed one of his hidden blades at Kuro when
       Shiro's older brother rushed them.
       "Next time you should announce yourself, Kuro-sama." Kouji
       muttered hiding his blade back into his shirt sleeve.
       Once the two brothers had finished talking; Kouji moved to go in
       the room and did a quick sweep before motioning Taiyō and
       Shiro inside.
       He moved to sink on the couch and looked over the grocery list
       he'd made. "Anything you want for breakfast tomorrow morning?
       I've got stuff for omelettes and pancakes already. Is there
       anything else you can think of wanting? Oh and what toppings do
       you want on your pizzas?"
       Having Kouji be so insistent at making sure he ate had Taiyo
       rolling his eyes, almost missing that Kuro was rushing towards
       them. His eyes went a little wide at Kouji's reaction in pulling
       out a hidden blade like a fucking ninja but stayed silently
       stoic as the brothers interacted. Tai was grateful to be able to
       get into Shiro's quarter once Kouji did a quick sweep of the
       place and ploped down on the couch next to Kou.
       "Should get bacon for breakfast and for the pizza, chicken and
       bacon pizzas are the best, oh and hashbrowns for breakfast. Can
       you think of anything else Shi?" Taiyo asked his charge. It was
       still quite difficult to think of either man as his boyfriend
       given how he typically stayed stuck in professional mode, unlike
       Yami, the man wasn't one to be improper.
       “Pop tarts-“ said the man with a sigh. “Also Parmesan cheese
       please.” He said to kouji. Seeing how Kuro gave the man a glance
       and a sigh.”just got worried and for someone working for me- you
       paused when you should have.” Said the man.
       Shiro thought a bit.”hey think you can get brownies too? Been
       craving sweets lately.” Said the short man as he found a place
       on the couch.
       Kouji knew he was probably being a bit on the pushy side with
       insisting on taking care of Shiro and Taiyō's eating
       better. It was just how he was with those he cared for. Not that
       he'd admit it, he liked feeling useful. Plus it made him feel
       like an actual person and not just a tool that Kuro and War used
       to get information they needed.
       He nodded writing down everything that Taiyō had suggested
       the for breakfast.
       He added the other items Shiro suggested then added ingredients
       to make brownies as well.
       "I'll get stuff to make brownies," he agreed. "I will make you
       the best brownies you've ever had in your life,"
       He was quick to get everything ordered on his grocery app and
       then moved to rest against Taiyo's shoulder and pulled Shiro
       against him. "Since we've got to wait for it to all get
       delivered and nothing to do, we should probably talk a bit.
       Unless there's something else you two have in mind..."
       Feeling Kouji leaning against him had Taiyo blushing slightly,
       even more when the man mentioned they should talk, unless they
       had something else in mind. Taiyo took that to mean the man was
       suggesting more intimate activities to look away from the two.
       Seeing Shiro snuggled up against Kouji like that made all sorts
       of conflicting feelings stir up.
       "Talk about what exactly?" Taiyo couldn't help but question,
       trying not to fidget in his seat. Affection wasn't exactly
       anything he was an expert in, considering Kou had stolen his
       first kiss, it was easy to tell his inexperience, and given his
       background, more than understandable that he held a lot of
       discomfort towards it. Up until now, it was something to be used
       in torture, not that he had ever done that, but he had seen it
       enough times to be pretty scarred on the subject.
       Shiro made a small noise as he was pulled against kouji to blush
       and look back at how he leaned on taiyo’s shoulder. He still was
       wrestling his own emotions on the idea of three in a
       relationship.”talking isn’t a bad idea- if you’re really wanting
       a relationship- maybe boundaries?” He asked.
       Kouji wasn't too surprised by Taiyo's question, given the other
       bodyguard hadn't had experience with dating or being with anyone
       else before.
       In some ways it was probably better that Taiyo didn't have
       experiences to compare to what he could have. He was prepared to
       go at each man's personal pace. As well as respect their
       boundaries as best as he could. He might have pushed it a bit
       getting so close to Taiyo, even if it was tame to him.
       "Am I making you uncomfortable Taiyo? Do you want me to move?"
       The sound Shiro made at being pulled against him had Kouji
       smile, thinking it rather adorable.
       "Right, what Shiro said. I'm not a mind reader, so I'm not going
       to just know what your boundaries or what you're comfortable
       with. Everyone is different. One might like getting hugs and
       cuddling, and another might not. I know we agreed to date first,
       and other things would come after. Dating can involve touching,
       if one is comfortable with it." Kouji pointed out. "Or am I
       overthinking too much? I really don't want to push you too much
       too soon,"
       The blush on Taiyo's cheeks intensified at Shiro mentioned
       talking about boundaries before Kouji asked if he was making Tai
       uncomfortable, even offering to move. He took a long moment to
       even formulate a response. Even once he figured out what he
       wanted to say, it took a minute to build up the nerve to speak
       his mind.
       "I don't want you to move, I'm just... not used to anyone being
       so... snuggly towards me... I... honestly don't know what I'm
       comfortable with... I'm... probably going to have to be eased
       into this whole... dating relationship stuff... if... either of
       you go to far and making me uncomfortable... I'll... I'll be
       sure to let you know..." He said, not looking at either of them
       as he spoke, turning redder and redder. He hated that he didn't
       know, but having never experienced anything like this before,
       how could he?
       Shiro heard kouji ask if he needed to move to turn a bit in
       concern at first. He could see the man was red hot,  it felt
       like the man was taking his time thinking as he felt his own
       nerves shoot in just a little.
       Once he heard the man speak to blush a bit at the word of
       snuggly.”it’ll take time tai, and we can take the steps
       together- never been in a relationship before either- mean sure
       mom and dad tried the whole arrangement date thing with me- but
       it’s not the same thing.” Said Shiro.”I want to be with you, and
       as for kouji- is someone I’m willing to see if I want to be
       with.. “ he said and blushed more.
       Kouji hadn't been aware that Taiyō was completely new to
       everything. Though if he'd not been sent off as much, he
       probably would have realized just how innocent and green the
       younger bodyguard was in regards to dating and being in a
       relationship. Hearing Shiro say he'd never been in one either
       meant he was the only one with any experience.
       "Then I'll put on my snail shoes and go the pace you both need,"
       Kouji replied softly. "Probably best if I keep my own room
       then," he added with a sigh.
       He knew his normal habits would probably prove too much and
       overwhelm the other two.  He'd just have to work on his patience
       even more now it seemed.
       It wasn't much longer before he got an alert on his phone
       telling him the groceries had arrived and that one of War's men
       had received them.
       "Groceries are here, a couple of War's men are bringing them up.
       I'll go meet them at my room, and bring them over," he said and
       got up from the couch.
       Kouji took a moment to stretch out before heading off.
       Thankfully there was no funny business and he brought the bags
       over through the conjoined bathroom and began unloading them.
       "So pasta for lunch? And pizza for dinner then? If you want a
       hand with cooking Shiro, I can lend a hand," he offered.
       The understanding way Kouji spoke about the subject of intimacy,
       Shino even chiming in with his own two cents had the bodyguard
       calm a little. "That's good to hear," he admitted before the
       groceries arrived. Taiyo was feeling worlds better about this
       whole three way couple situation at least.
       "Sounds good," he agreed, not moving from his spot on the couch,
       even when Kouji returned. "Suppose that sounds good, think I
       might go take a shower." He told the pair before pushing himself
       up off the couch and headed for the bathroom.
       “Sounds good!” Said Shiro, he got up almost reluctantly. “And
       I’m sorry- just being careful. “ he said honestly. “I’ve heard
       so many horror stories from my brothers and few sisters. They
       advised I take my time and learn about people.” He said
       bashfully. “I may be a bit awkward but I’ll try to be there for
       both of you.” He said as he began to get the pot to get the
       water started so it could boil before moving for the meat and
       the pan to cook that up in.
       Kouji Couldn't help but chuckle hearing the two men echoing each
       other. "No need to apologize for wanting to take things slow. It
       is a bit amusing you've both picked up the same sayings though,
       almost like an old married couple," he teased as he worked on
       organizing the kitchen as he put food away.
       "Enjoy your shower Taiyo," he added, knowing better than to
       offer to wash the other's back for him.
       Once he'd finished first task, he started mixing up pizza dough
       so it could set and be ready for later.
       "Need a hand with anything Shiro?" He asked after he'd covered
       the dough and set it to the side.
       Sliping away to be on his own in the shower, Taiyō thought
       about everything that had been talked about. Both men willing to
       take their time on getting hot and heavy took a lot of weight
       off of his mind and by the time he was clean and finished with
       his usual shower routine, he realized he didn't bring clothes in
       with him, forcing the man to come out of the bathroom in only a
       towel to dig through his dufflebag of belongings, letting the
       towel drop as he faced away from the doorway and slip his
       underwear and soft shorts on.
       The cooking noodles and other ingredients filling the small
       space. "Smells good in here," he mused as he leaned on the
       doorframe.
       “I got it! You relax.. or pour drinks! Bet taiyo will be thirsty
       after that shower.” He told kouji.
       After a bit when things were just about ready was when he saw
       taiyo walk by and clearly swallowed at the sight of the naked
       man besides the towel that barely covered him. Course when he
       came back the man was a tomato.”for sure! Hope you like it .”
       Said Shiro shy like.
