       3 of a Kind
       By: Minyaagar Date: February 20, 2026, 5:01 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Morning was met with a hum of Chōei. The man was busy
       making breakfast after having cleaned the place some to get the
       day going. Looking at him no one would expect him of all people
       to be a bodyguard. The man reached for a cup to pour hot coffee
       in it to smile.”*gotta start the day right*” he said to himself
       as he bounced to the table a little to get his little black book
       he kept on his person. It was reminders for what his job was..
       and the next page a bunch of phone numbers of his past. The man
       in the bright yellow apron a stark contrast/over a shirt that
       was grey in color and his black slacks. He put some sugar and
       cream in his coffee to take a long drink before turning to the
       plate he filled with food to eat.
       -----
       Akira entered the kitchen looking like death warmed over, toting
       the fussy 2 yr old Rikuto in one arm. "Morning," he muttered
       heading straight  for the coffee pot.
       After he'd downed half a mug of coffee his normal smile filled
       his face and he got the little boy into his booster seat. "It's
       okay Ri Ri, I'll get you some Cheerios to munch on while I prep
       your bananas," he said in a cheerful tone.
       "Hey Choei, have a good night?" Akira asked, grabbing the cereal
       box and sprinkling a few on the tray for Rikuto.
       Then he moved to grab a banana, a small bowl and a knife. He
       began cutting small pieces off, humming to himself.
       He had to admit being chosen to care for the young child had
       brought out his softer side. One most didn't get to see in his
       normal bodyguard role.
       "Botan not up yet? We should go over the schedule for the week
       when he does,"
       -----
       A soft, needy whine let Mamoru as the massive unit of a dog
       sweetly nudged Botan's face with his gigantic head before
       starting to lick his human to try and wake him. This earned a
       grumpy groan out of the bodyguard.
       "Alright alright! I'm up," he protested, getting the rottweiler
       to begin bouncing around with joy. This got Botan out of the bet
       pretty quickly as it was never fun having a 130lb dog jumping
       all over you. He quietly put on slacks and threw on a button up
       shirt but didn't bother buttoning it before he slipped on his
       shoes and grabbed Mamoru's leash.
       Once he had the leash on the beast, the sleepy man finally left
       his room, walking past the kitchen to take the dog outside to do
       his business before finally coming back in and releasing the
       hound before Mamoru bolted into the kitchen and aggressively
       wagged his stub of a tail as he waited for his morning kibble.
       Barking impatiently as Botan dragged his feet to get in the
       kitchen and feed the beast. The well trained animal waited for
       the command before digging into his food bowl like he had been
       starving.
       *"Dramatic a.ss fu.ck....."* He grumbled before working on
       getting himself a cup of coffee, taking it black as he blew on
       it before taking a sit. He then sat down next to Rikuto, being
       unable to resist trying to make the toddler laugh. It was really
       the only time the man seemed friendly considering he rarely even
       told his coworkers good morning, unlike Mamoru who, the moment
       he was done with breakfast insisted on attention from Akira and
       Choei before laying down next to Botan and looking up at the 2
       year old, waiting for any snacks that fell to the floor.
       ----
       Chōei gave a smile to the man that came in with the child
       they were protecting to nod.”mostly, did you sleep okay? You
       look like… crap.” He said to pause briefly. The man curbed his
       cursing since being around Rikuto. “Oh Mamoru will wake him-
       always does.” Said Chōei with a chuckle. He heard movement
       to tilt his head.”speak of the devil and he shall appear.” He
       joked a little to watch the man shuffle the dog out and watched
       as he fed the dog. He leaned on his hand to smile.*”language
       man.. remember they absorb words like sponge to water.”*
       He ate some more to flip his little black book closed to look at
       Ri who had nothing to drink to get up and find the kids favorite
       cup to fill it and put the top on. He placed it.”so what is
       y’all’s week schedules looking like?” He asked.
       ----
       "Ri was waking up all night fussing, think he's getting in a new
       tooth, so didn't get all that much sleep. I'll nap with him
       later," Akira replied with a yawn as he got some scrambled eggs
       to add to the baby's tray.
       He smiled at Chōei's comment about the dog waking their
       partner up and then turned to see the red headed Botan shuffle
       in with his dog.
       "Morning Flameon," he said shooting a wink at the other man and
       knelt to pet Mamoru when the dog came over for attention. He
       smiled as Rikuto babbled happily and laughed at the faces Botan
       was making.
       Akira grabbed a plate of food and added the last of the coffee
       to his mug. "Thanks," he told Chōei seeing him filling up a
       cup for Ri. He seemed to be getting a bit scatter brained from
       the lack of sleep.
       "Schedule wise, Ri's got a checkup tomorrow morning...other than
       that we'll need to do a grocery run today or tomorrow, I'm
       getting low on diapers. Oh and some liquid vitamin c." Akira
       replied with another yawn. "There's a parent/baby play time
       Wednesday morning, and... something on Friday. I've got it on my
       phone calendar,"
       -----
       "Have a hot date Friday," Botan said in a flat affect before
       snickering when the two gave him a look. "I'm kidding, I don't
       have plans this week other than taking Mamoru to the dog park
       Wednesday. I can take care of going to the store today, just
       give me a list." Botan said before he yawned and sipped his
       coffee as Mamoru peaked his big Ole head over the side of his
       highchair to staring at the toddler, his eyes begging for food.
       ----
       “I can take care of Ri if you want to catch more Zs.” Offered
       the man. “I do have something going on tonight for sure but I
       can totally do the parent and baby play time on Wednesday.” Said
       Chōei. He wasn’t one to air out his private life but one of
       his flings called him out of the blue and it sounded important.
       The man swung both ways but made it adamant that it wouldn’t
       affect his job.
       He looked to hear ri beginning to fuss again. “It’s that tooth
       huh little guy.” He said to get the toddler out of the high
       chair and went to the freezer for a  fruit and got it in a
       teething contraption. Once he set it up one handed gave it to
       the child to watch him nom on it.
       He made a flat look at the man joking about a date.”maybe you
       should get laid.. be less grumpy.” He said before he felt a hand
       and made a face as it was tugged.”ah come on ri…” he pouted a
       little.”that hurts.”
       ----
       Akira glanced over to see Mamoru begging for food and Ri tossing
       egg and banana on the floor, babbling and then smacking his cup
       on the tray top.
       "Least we've got the living vacuum to clean up after you," Akira
       chuckled as the dog moved to lick up the mess.
       Akira blinked at Chōei's  offer to take care of Ri. "I
       could use some more sleep, and get in a shower," he said
       thoughtfully as he considered the offer.
       He knew he couldn't do it all on his own, or he'd end up feeling
       even worse. That was the last thing he or Ri needed.
       "I'd appreciate the help. I've been feeling a bit off lately,"
       Akira admitted and slowly finished off his food and coffee,
       watching as Choei got the teething ring out for Ri.
       He turned to look at Botan when he joked about going on a date.
       Akira shook his head when Choei told the younger man he should
       get laid.
       "If anyone needed a date or to get laid, It would be me. It's
       been over 4 years now," he sighed.
       Akira moved to gently pull Ri's fingers from Choei's hair. "Ri,
       gentle hands, don't hurt uncle Choei,"
       Ri made a pouty face and slumped against Choei's shoulder, his
       free hand moving to play with the man's shirt.
       "I'll write up a grocery list for you. I appreciate you doing
       the shopping Botan."
       ----
       "That an offer?" Botan questioned rather sarcastically towards
       the two men before nodding at Akira's thanks for offering to do
       the shopping. "No worries, I don't mind. Besides, you never get
       the right brand of cereal," he teased.
       Soon his coffee was gone and Botan stood up from his seat and
       stretched. "Speaking of showers, I should get one in before I
       head out..." He mumbled.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       “Telling me- the dogs a help.” Joked Chōei. “Go for it man,
       you need it- babies are no joke.” He said and smiled. Once his
       hair was freed he seemed happier- the one thing the man refused
       was to cut his hair short..  it just never felt right to him.
       He heard Botans sarcasm.”maybe- depends how sarcastic you can
       make it sound.” He joked. “You two go ahead- I took mine last
       night.” He said to shift ri to his other side.”little guy want
       some play time?” He asked to boop the 2 year old on the nose to
       hear a giggle.”or a story.. need to give you some stimulation
       huh?” He said to bounce ri a bit on his arm,to earn another
       giggle.
       ----+
       "if you want it to be," Akira replied quite seriously to Botan.
       He wasn't the type to get hung up on age differences, though the
       younger man often made jokes about his old age.
       Akira shook his head at the teasing. "Hey, half the time you
       forget to put it on the list. I'm not a mind reader," he shot
       back with a chuckle.
       "I'll finish the list and leave the card out on the table for
       you. I'll go shower after. Thanks Choei," Akira replied and
       gathered up his dishes and loaded them in the dishwasher before
       going to grab a notepad to write out a list.
       Once he was done he went to grab the credit card they used for
       the household expenses and left it out with the list. He headed
       to his and Ri's room to get undressed and get into the shower.
       After a nice long hot shower, he dried off and pulled on loose
       fitting pants and went to lay down. The moment his head hit the
       pillow he was sound asleep, snoring softly. If anyone wanted
       something, they'd have to shake him awake.
       ----
       The response Choei gave hardly surprised Botan as he blushed
       slightly, Akira's quite serious response got him blushing *much*
       darker. Given it was quite difficult to get a reaction like this
       out of him, he was quick to try and escape the room with a,
       "Yeah sure sounds good..." before he was back in his room while
       Mamoru followed after Choei and RI. The dog had grown quite
       protective of the child.
       The tattooed redhead took a moment to collect himself before he
       stripped out of his clothes and got into the adjoined shower. He
       didn't take very long getting cleaned up and was soon out of the
       shower and drying off while fussing over his hair and making
       sure he didn't have any stragglers on his face after he shaved.
       Soon, he was dressed and ready. "You are good with Mamoru
       staying here? As well behaved as he is, most stores don't like
       him inside," Botan questioned towards Choei as he got the list
       and card before going for the keys to his truck.
       -----
       Chōei gave a smile and a nod.”no problem, “ he told him to
       take ri to the living room to play a bit making him giggle with
       peek and boo till Botan came out, “naturally- such a good
       assistant aren’t ya Mamoru?” He said to the dog to pat its head
       as he showed ri how to be gentle to see the 2 year old do the
       same.”oh! Also do me a solid and mind grabbing me some beer?” He
       asked the man as he seemed to watch ri going for the blocks to
       go build with him.
       -----
       The rottweiler gave a happy bark in response to Choei before
       eagerly accepting the toddlers attention before attentively
       following the child as he went to play with blocks.
       "Yeah, the usual kind?" Botan answered, jotting it down on the
       shopping list before adding a few more things before he headed
       out. The bodyguard ended up spending a good hour stuck in
       traffic, then had to go to two different stores to get
       everything on the list before running into even worse traffic on
       his way back.
       To say Botan was in a sour mood when he returned was an
       understatement as he cranking hauled the groceries in and began
       to aggressively put them away. Mamoru getting quite tense at
       Botan's mood and went to sit anxiously next to his human,
       causing the man to trip over the unit of a dog and falling on
       his face, causing a string of curse words to spill from his lips
       in his native tongue as he tried to get up as Mamoru obsessively
       licked him as if that was helping.
       *"fu.ck! Stop it!"* he complained.
       ---
       When Akira finally woke, it was close to noon. "Should go and
       see if Botan's back. Probably needs a hand," he muttered and
       grabbed a shirt to pull on before he headed to the kitchen.
       He got there to find Botan on the floor with Mamoru licking the
       man's face.
       "That's enough Mamoru," he said moving to grab the dog's collar
       and pulling the dog off.
       "Sit," he ordered the dog and helped Botan to his feet.
       "I'll finish putting things away, you're probably exhausted
       after shopping and dealing with traffic," Akira said moving to
       unload the rest of the bags.
       "Sit and relax, and tell me what you want for lunch."
       -----
       Chōei spent his day with ri close by, once noon had hit the
       little guy was asleep in the play pen with Choi busying cleaning
       quietly. He heard botan coming in and saw how he was putting
       stuff away for mamoru to start licking him. Chōei could
       hear ri stirring to get over and held the boy to rock a
       little.once things quieted to put him down. He walked in a
       little bit after it seemed calm.
       ”ri’s sleeping try to keep it down.” He said as he went to put
       the stuff up and shifted what botan just threw up there to
       places that felt appropriate.”what happened to get you in such a
       grumpy mood?” He asked.
       --++-
       When Akira pulled Mamoru away, Botan let out a sigh of relief
       before he was helped to his feet and sat down as instructed.
       "I'm fine with whatever, you know I'm not picky... thanks..." He
       grumbled before glaring at Choei when the man came in to
       chastise him for being loud before asking what made him so
       grumpy.
       "Where would you like me to start? The traffic? Having to go to
       two different stores? Falling on my fu.cking face?" He
       complained, though it was now more in a hushed voice not wanting
       to wake Ri.
       ----
       Akira nodded at Botan's reply and glanced up when Chōei
       entered the kitchen to chastise Botan for being loud and
       mentioning Ri was sleeping. He could hear the frustration and
       annoyance in Choei's voice as he replied.
       "Did you hurt your face? I can get you some ice for it. Sounds
       like you could use something to relieve your stress. Maybe a
       massage would help," Akira suggested as he pulled out
       ingredients to make one of their favorite Japanese dishes for
       lunch.
       "I can give you one later if you'd like, Botan,"
       -----
       Choei gave the man a gentle look. He felt for the man- he felt
       out of them three he seemed to have it hard… and some bad luck.
       He watched as botan made a suggestion for ice for the man’s
       face.
       ”his face looks fine.” Said the man as he went over to tug the
       man’s face to see no real marks. He made small sly smile to kiss
       his cheek.”there should be all better.” He said to slide away.”I
       better get ready- you two enjoy lunch.” He said as he heard a
       sound of his phone to pick it up and look at the text. He texted
       back, to pull his apron off. He wondered just what was up with
       Diane. She normally wouldn’t push him- but seemed adamant today.
       Once he got settled and ready he waved to the two.”be back in a
       few hours.” He said as he wore slacks and a red shirt. He could
       hear ri waking up to go in.”see you later little guy.. uncle
       akira is making food!” He said to set the two year old in the
       high chair.”he’s had a nap- so may be a bit active.. “ he said
       before filling mamaro’s bowl of water and lunch before he headed
       out.
       ------
       "I'll be fine... massage doesn't sound too bad..." Botan started
       before Choei claimed his face looked fine as he grabbed hold on
       him and looked him over, getting a slight blush out of the
       grumpy man before his cheeks turned *very* red at the kiss on
       the cheek. It made him feel his heart flutter when the man did
       shit like this.
       They he pulled away needing to go get ready, and from the way he
       dressed, Botan could tell it was some form of date and couldn't
       help look after the man as he left was a bit of jealousy in his
       eyes. "Don't get kidnapped," he said in grumpy sarcasm as he
       turned his attention to entertaining RI as Akira got lunch
       ready.
       -----
       "Well that's good," Akira replied and chuckled in amusement
       seeing Chōei kissing Botan's cheek and the resulting dark
       blush.
       "Once the kiddo gets worn out and goes down for his afternoon
       nap, we can do the massage," Akira suggested as he started
       chopping up veggies to add to the udon soup he was making. "You
       feel like beef or chicken for protein?"
       Once he had the broth going, he added in the vegetables and then
       started fixing a more kid friendly lunch for Rikuto.
       "Looking good Choei, Have fun on your date," Akira said admiring
       the other man's outfit.
       "We'll have fun with playtime after he eats. Thanks again for
       watching him this morning. I should be able to keep up with Ri
       now,"
       It was hard not to notice the jealous look on Botan's face, the
       grumpy comment had Akira chuckling as he put out some soft foods
       for Ri to eat.
       The udon soup was soon done and he added some soft boiled eggs
       to the top, drizzled some sauce and green onions on top, and
       then brought the bowls over.  He sat down across from Botan and
       dug in.
       -----
       "Beef," Botan answered as he waited for his lunch, giving Akira
       an actual, genuine smile when the man put the bowl of soup in
       front of him. "Thank Akira, this looks amazing." He praised
       before digging in himself and moaning at the taste. "How are you
       not a chef, everything you cook is soooo good," he commented as
       he ate, the only time the man looked to be in a pleasant mood
       that didn't involve Ri.
       Once lunch was finished, Botan brought Ri into the bathroom to
       clean the kid up before bringing him into the living room to
       throw on some toddler programing that the kid loved and laid on
       the floor as the toddler used him and Mamoru as jungle gyms.
       -------
       Akira treasured the rare smile Botan gifted him, his cheeks
       going pink at the praise, and going darker at the man's happy
       moan.
       "If I hadn't gotten involved in the Yakuza, I probably would
       have gone the chef route. Though, I prefer to cook for people I
       like not every Sam, Dick and Harry,":Akira confessed.
       Ri of course ended up wearing half of his food, and in Mamoru's
       bottomless stomach.
       While Botan took Ri in to the bathroom to clean the baby up,
       Akira cleaned up the kitchen and prepped a few things for
       dinner.
       When he'd finished he went in to join the others in the living
       room. He sighed seeing the baby shark show playing on the TV.
       "It's always this show. I can't wait until his tastes change,"
       Akira pulled out his phone to take a few pictures of Ri climbing
       and playing with Botan and Mamoru's hair, and sent them to
       Ryou's burner phone.
       "So..Botan, if we went on a date, where would you like to go?"
       -----
       Chōei arrived at his usual haunt to see Rose sitting at her
       seat. He saw water that was unlike his friend to do so.”hey
       what’s up? You sounded panicked.” Said Chōei as he saw her
       playing with the glass of water. He started chuckle.”no scotch
       it must be b..” he started before she shoved an ultrasound his
       way. His eyes fell.
       “I had no idea how to tell you and it’s been three months
       already- I know I shouldn’t of put it off- but I didn’t want to
       be another background person in your life.. I’m not looking for
       anything- just.. felt you had to know.” She said her hair
       clearly looking like the color was leaving- showing her soft
       blonde hair. Her body shifted toward the frozen
       Chōei.”how…” finally came out after several long minutes.”I
       know we were careful- I did take the pill- but broken condom and
       a month later..” said the woman to bite her thumb nail.”I just
       didn’t want our friendship to end up in the bin..” she said. She
       was quiet for a bit as choei seemed to be processing.
       The night continued as he  felt on autopilot to end up at the
       front door of his house- unsure how the hell he got there. The
       door opened as he walked in to shut it and made his way to the
       couch to fall face first, the ultrasound he had falling to the
       floor. The man was drunker than a skunk and couldn’t remember
       half of the what happened after being told.
       -------
       When Botan heard the word date he gave Akira an unamused
       expression as if expecting the man to be messing with him. "We?
       As in... me and you? Is... this you asking me out?" He
       questioned in suspicious surprise. It was at this moment, Choei
       returned home, the tension coming off of the man was rather
       intense. He couldn't help but notice something flutter to the
       ground and was quick to grab it before Mamoru could try to eat
       in.
       He looked at the ultrasound and then looked at Choei with wide
       eyes. The man clearly not happy and it wasn't hard to piece
       things together. He just silently handed over the ultrasound
       before sitting up and moving to rub Choei's back without a word,
       he wasn't exactly sure what to say.

       Akira felt rather disappointed that Botan sounded so suspicious.
       "I wouldn't joke about going on a date," he replied sounding
       rather hurt.
       His attention was drawn to Chōei as the man came in
       smelling like a brewery and fell face first into the couch.
       "What is it?" Akira asked as Botan picked up what looked like a
       paper, examined it and handed it over without a word.
       Akira's eyes widened at seeing the ultrasound picture.  "Whoa,
       well that's some heavy news to get," he murmured.
       All thoughts of a date or doing anything for fun went on the
       back burner. Choei was going to need support and help getting
       out of his state of funk.
       "Chōei, let's get you cleaned up and laying down to sleep
       off the alcohol. Botan you can get him to his room, I'll go put
       Ri down first,"
       ----
       Choei felt a hand rub his back, he sighed before he heard akira.
       “We were careful..” he slurred.”but Rosie got preggers..” he
       mumbled.his face turned to the man. The sound of the man
       mentioning ri made choei’s face change to a sad one. He felt his
       phone buzz to see Rose’s name and number to decline. He went to
       sit up and felt the world spin.”drank too much..” he mumbled.
       _----
       "Sometimes being careful isn't enough," Botan murmered as he got
       to his feet before throwing Choei over his shoulder to haul the
       man back to the bedroom, Mamoru right on his tail and whining
       when he was shut out of the room. He then dumped the drunken man
       onto the bed and started to work off his dress shoes and belt
       before he git the man's shirt undone to remove.
       "Get you some pajamas on," he said as he continued to strip his
       coworker.
       -----
       Akira could tell that Chōei was still in shock from the
       unexpected news. In time he was sure the guy would embrace being
       a father, it was just going to take him time.
       Akira carried the sleeping Ri to lay him down in his crib and
       turned on the baby monitor. He snagged the one from his room,
       and headed in to see how Botan was doing getting Chōei
       settled.
       Finding the man being stripped down to his boxers had him
       staring for a moment before going to pull out some pajamas from
       a dresser drawer. "He looks a bit sweaty, maybe we should clean
       him up a bit first?"
       ------
       Choei felt the man throw him over his back, his head swimming at
       how the world was spinning before he made a grunt at being
       dumped on the bed.”botaaaaaan..” he whined.”you couldn’t be
       gentler?” Said the long haired man before he felt his hands
       working at the clothing to take it off.”thank you botan your th’
       best.. I love you man..” slurred Choei. He went quiet to look at
       botan. His eyes taking  in the double of a man he was
       seeing.”why are there two of you? Are you gonna double team?” He
       slurred before his hands went up to pull botan down for a
       drunken kiss.”imma stick with men.. girls get pregnant to
       easily…” he mumbled as he clung to botan’s neck, his head turned
       to see akira and hear him walk by.”I can’t handle three of you!
       “ he said to not quite let go of botan.
       -++-+
       Hearing Akira come inside had Botan looking away from Choei, but
       before he could answer the man, Choei started up with a
       declaration of lover before he heard the man claiming there were
       two of him and getting a blush out of the usually grumpy man.
       Being pulled down got a sound of surprise from him as he was
       kissed by the drunken man. "Choei!" He tried to protest but his
       squirming only got the man to hold onto him tighter. "No one is
       double or triple teaming you. You stink though, could definitely
       use a shower, you smell like sweat and booze," he complained.
       ------
       Akira couldn't help but feel a slight flare of jealousy go
       through him seeing the drunken Chōei stealing a kiss from
       Botan.  Hearing the man talking about sticking with men had him
       feel a bit sad for Chōei. "Relax, we aren't going to do
       anything to you Choei, least not while you're drunk,"
       Akira slipped out of the majority of his clothes, leaving his
       boxers on. "With how drunk he is, one of us will have to hold
       him up, let me give you a hand,"
       Akira pulled both up, showing just how strong he was, and then
       slipped an arm around Chōei, keeping him upright. "I can
       shower him if you feel too awkward about it,"
       ------
       “Nothin?” Choei asked and felt the pull up. “Your so strong
       akiiii..” slurred the man. He realized the man was in his boxers
       to make a frown.”why are you stripping!? I’m not that..” he
       hiccuped.”bad..” he said with a chuckle.
       -----
       A grunt left Botan as Akira lifted the both of them after
       striping. It had the bodyguard blushing even darker being held
       in the man's strong arms. "It's fine.... hold him up while I
       strip out of these, the leather pants will be ruined in
       water..." He complained as he tried to pull out of Choei's grip
       before giving up and striping right there, leaving all three men
       on only their boxers.
       He then attempted to guide the drunken man into the bathroom
       before getting the shower going. With a *lot* of effort they
       managed to get Choei under the water. "Aki, can you, hold him up
       while I grab the soap?" He questioned, already a darker red at
       the idea of rubbing all over Choei, even if it was to just get
       him clean.
       -------
       Akira grinned at Chōei's admiration. He shook his head.
       "you're bad enough you can't stand up," he pointed out.
       He nodded at Botan, keeping Chōei upright, as the other
       tried to get away then gave up and stripped his very tight pants
       off.
       If they weren't in the middle of helping Chōei, Akira would
       have stolen more than one look at Botan's body. It took a bit of
       convincing and work to get the drunk man into the shower.
       "I got him," he reassured Botan, wrapping his arms around the
       now wet and slippery Chōei. "We can switch places, if you'd
       rather," he added seeing the dark blush on Botan's face.
       ------
       Choei made a whine at the man pulling away.”I’m fiiiiiine..” he
       said before seeing botan in his boxers.”you sure your not gonna
       double team?” He said with another chuckle. Once in the shower
       did things get complicated as he was being held up *and* washed.
       “Gonna get me all clean?” He flirted botan’s way. “Can pay you
       back and get all dirty again…” slid out before another laugh.
       Course he made a noise when a spot was ran over- almost like a
       moan.”too sensitive there.. be gentle..” he groaned.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       "I got it..." Botan reassured as he started working on getting
       Choei all soaped up. It didn't help when the man made a sound
       like he was moaning before claiming he was sensitive in that
       spot and only shook his head.
       "I am being gentle..." He complained before he finally finished
       up washing the man before working on getting him rinsed off.
       Botan then shut the water off and got out before returning with
       towels, taking Choei into his arms and started to dry him off.
       "Once we are all dry we can try and haul him back into the
       bedroom..." He suggested.
       -+---+
       "no you aren't," Akira retorted with a sigh. "Not while you're
       drunk we aren't," he added, revealing maybe too much of  how
       dirty his thoughts were at the moment.
       Hearing Chōei's moan had Akira's body reacting in ways it
       hadn't in a long time. Once Botan had finished and had gotten
       Chōei out to dry him off, Akira stepped out carefully to
       grab another towel to dry himself off. "Not a bad idea," he said
       to Botan, wrapping the towel around his waist and grabbing
       another to start drying Chōei's back off, then moved to
       work on Botan's.
       "I'm going to go grab my hair dryer, it works better than
       yours," Akira said draping the towel around Botan's neck.
       He paused to check in on the sleeping Ri before retrieving his
       high end dryer and going back to give Botan a hand getting
       Chōei into his room.
       ------
       Chöei  let the two clean him up and felt the fluffy towels dry
       him off and talk about the bedroom. Hearing akira talk about not
       doing stuff while he was drunk for the man to chuckle.”so you do
       wanna do stuff..” he flirted. When the two were alone he
       said.”botan.. I am hungry.. I want food.” He said. Though in
       reality he looked ready to crash. “Can you make me a sammich?
       World is spinning more..” he mumbled. When Akita came he tried
       to get on his feet to no avail. His wet hair sticking to his
       back a little. “Y’all are the best, imma gonna have to thank you
       somehow..”he said as he looked at akira.”lemme give you a kiss!”
       He said as his face went all serious.
       ------
       When Choei flirted with Akira, it git a chuckle out of the man,
       thiugh the blush returned at the man's attention as he was dried
       off. "alright..." Botan said before he was alone with Choei,
       rolling his eyes at the man suddenly talking like a sleepy child
       as he ask for food looking ready to pass out. "Sure, I can make
       you a sandwich, long as you cooperate and lay down in bed." He
       agreed.
       Thankfully Akira returned rather quickly to air in hauling Choei
       into the bedroom. "Too drunk for kisses Cho, maybe when you
       sober up," he found himself suggesting, mostly to get the man to
       cooperate as they dumped him onto the bed.
       With Choei on the bed and occupied with flirting with Akira,
       Botan git some clothes for the man and worked on getting the guy
       stuffed into them before moving the guy so he could be tucked
       in. "Alright Choei, I'm ganna go make you that sandwich, behave
       yourself," he teased before he headed out of the room and went
       to his own to change out of his wet boxers and dressed himself
       in pajama pants before going into the kitchen to start making a
       sandwich for the drunken man.
       ----++
       Akira merely grinned at Chōei's drunken flirting. If the
       guy remembered what he said the next day, and was interested
       still, he'd acknowledge it. For now though it was best to not
       mess with hot and heavy stuff.
       He was chuckling again at Chōei's insistence on giving him
       a kiss an Botan telling the other to wait.
       "If we kiss, I want you to remember it. So let's wait on that,"
       he said moving to plug in the dryer and started to dry and
       gently comb out Chōei's long hair. "I've actually been
       wanting to play with your hair for awhile now," he commented as
       he worked.
       ------
       Chōei puffed at the two buffering him away, but allowed
       them to get him fixed up, he sat in bed to blink.”well then play
       away…” he said to chuckle to see the sandwhich to take it and
       eat as it all came out.”Rosie told me she was pregnant, I was in
       denial we took all the safe stuff..” he said as he started to
       sound a little more straight.”three months.. mean we have ri- so
       I know what’s coming but- i don’t know.. feels different knowing
       I may have a kid on the way. Just dunno how to tell Rosie I want
       to help. She was afraid I’d ditch her.” He said and frowned.
       -----
       It pleased Botan to see Choei take the sandwich and begin to
       eat, but when the man started to open up, he found himself
       sitting next to him and gently rubbing his back comfortingly.
       "Well, when you sober up, tell her exactly that. If it is your
       kid, you want to be involved," he encouraged gently. "Plus you
       have me and Akira to help you with the baby." He said in what he
       hoped was a soothing tone.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Akira hummed softly while he worked on combing and drying out
       Chōei's long gorgeous hair. He stopped when the man began
       sharing, talking about wanting to be involved and help Rosie
       out.
       Botan's straightforward suggestion had Akira smiling. "Botan is
       right, be upfront and tell her how you really feel. She's
       probably worried and stressed out even more than you are.
       Hearing that you are going to support her and do everything you
       can, will reassure her. "
       Akira finished with Chōei's hair and then ran his hands
       through it from the scalp to the ends. "And yes, you and Rosie
       will have us as well. We will help in whatever way you both
       need. I will happily be a part of your support system,"
       Akira moved back and started  combing out his own hair, wincing
       a bit at the rats he encountered. "this thick hair is Soo
       annoying," he grumbled a bit in complaint.
       -----
       Choei looked at Botan with his big teary eyes and mouth full of
       sandwhich. His head turned to akira affirming as he felt the
       tears slip.”you two are the best!” He said after swallowing.”I
       love you guys!” He said before continuing eating and asking for
       water. Once he got it the man settled down he conked out to
       snore rather loudly.
       -----
       At Choei's request for water, Botan was quick to grab the man a
       glass from the kitchen and grinned a little when the guy passed
       out. He couldn't help his chuckle when he heard Akira complain
       about his own hair for the bodyguard to slip behind the man and
       steal away the brush. "Let me help," he insisted before he began
       to gently work on detangling the man's lovely hair.
       "There, all better'" he teased as he ran his fingers through
       Akira's hair finding no more knots. "Should get you some
       detangler, it would help your hair not knot up like this," he
       suggested.
       ----
       Akira couldn't help but smile at Chōei's reply and drunken
       declaration of love for them. If he were completely honest, he'd
       been quite fond of both men for awhile now, though hadn't come
       outright to say it. It might have made things more awkward
       between them.
       "I love you too Chōei," he replied softly, watching the man
       finish off his food.
       When Chōei passed out on the bed, he moved over and kept
       working on his hair, trying to keep his grumbling complaints low
       so not to disturb him.
       "Uh..sure and thanks," Akira replied feeling his body heat at
       Botan's closeness.
       By the time Botan had gotten his hair tamed Akira was feeling
       all sorts of arousal and tingling all over. He shivered at the
       fingers going through his hair.
       "I could, or I should just let you do it from now on," Akira
       couldn't help but purr back.
       He reached up to catch one of Botan's hands and drew it down to
       kiss it gently. "Thank you for your help. I wasn't joking
       earlier, about taking you on a date. I like you Botan."
       -+-
       The reaction to the attention Botan was giving Akira had the man
       blushing quite a bit, even more so when Akira purred back the
       suggestion of just letting the man do his hair for him. "I could
       do that," he found himself agreeing before his eyes went wide at
       the kiss to his hand and what Akira had to say next.
       "You sure you want to try and date me? I'm mind of an
       asshole..." He found himself saying, having long ago decided
       when he first gained a crush on the two men that they were both
       out of his league and that he would be a terrible boyfriend. It
       was the concessions he had gotten from all his past
       relationships.
       -----
       Akira broke into a grin when Botan agreed to doing his hair for
       him. Well...that was a pleasant surprise. His grin got a bit
       bigger and he shifted so he could see Botan's handsome face.
       "You're not an as.shole you're just picky about who you want to
       spend time with. I can understand that. You don't want to waste
       your time on someone who's only in it for the "fun" times. I
       should be honest though, before we start getting serious or
       date. I like both you and Chōei. I know not many people are
       the type for open relationships or being with more than one
       person at a time, and I understand if you aren't. I'm not sure
       if Chōei is either, but he's got other things going on
       right now to deal with. I just...wanted to let you know..so
       you're aware of my feelings for the both of you," Akira
       confessed, feeling a bit nervous about finally saying it all out
       loud.
       ----
       A doubtful look came to Botan's eyes at Akira's claim that he
       wasn't an as
       shole. The look turned to one of surprise at Akira's confession
       to liking the both of them. "I don't know if I could do an open
       relationship... but... I'm... not against... trying to be
       with... both of you if that is... what you both want... I've...
       had a pretty big crush on you both for a long time...." He
       admitted as his cheeks got a darker and darker blush.
       -----+
       Seeing the doubt in Botan's eyes had Akira feel a bit sad that
       the younger man thought so badly of himself. He'd just have to
       help Botan realize the truth about himself. It wasn't like they
       had anything else to do. They spent most of their time caring
       for Ri and each others needs.
       "I guess we'll have to ask Chōei what he wants when he's
       sober and not panicked over his upcoming fatherhood. Oh? You've
       had a crush on Gramps? Really?" He teased using the nickname the
       two often used for him behind his back. Sure he was more than a
       decade older, but he wasn't sporting gray hair or anything.
       Akira chuckled softly and slowly slide off the bed, offering a
       hand to Botan. "Since you helped with my hair, let me give you a
       massage before bed. It'll help you sleep better,"
       -----
       "Can't help it, you are pretty hot for an old guy," Botan
       couldn't help but tease as he accepted the offered hand. The
       idea of Akira rubbing all over his back getting the blush to
       darken.  "That sounds like a great idea after the day I've
       had... not as bad as Choei's but still not great..." He
       commented as he was pulled to his feet.
       Usually he would have let go of the man's hand, but instead,
       pulled Akira to his bedroom before finally letting go as Mamoru
       trotted after them and settled on his dog bed, clearly ready for
       sleep. Botan grabbed a bottle of lotion before handing it over
       and then laying on his stomach, being only in sleep pants he
       didn't have to take anything off.
       -----
       Akira's grin widened at Botan saying he was hot. "I'm going to
       have to expand your vocabulary, mature is the word you should
       have used," he said with a wink.
       Seeing just how dark Botan's blush got had Akira's grin getting
       even more pronounced. He made no comment on being led to the
       other's room.
       He took the offered lotion bottle and waited for Botan to lay
       down. Then he moved to straddle the other's hips and got some
       lotion and began massaging long strokes up the other's back.
       After a good half hour of massaging and working out the knots in
       Botan's back, Akira leaned down to kiss the other's neck.
       "Feeling more relaxed now?"
       ----
       The way Akira straddled his hips and worked on his back had all
       kinds of groans and moans escape Botan. He couldn't help how
       strongly intimate and errotic it felt to have the man's hands
       moving on his back like this.
       So when Akira finished, and gave his neck a kiss, he could hold
       in the almost needy groan that left him. "My back definitely
       feels better..." He answered, not wanting to admit just hot
       turned on he was in that moment.
       ----
       Akira was more than a little turned on after hearing all the
       beautiful sounds Botan made while getting his massage.
       "Hmm is that a hint that you're tense somewhere else?" Akira
       murmured into the other's ear. "Perhaps you'd like a bit of
       release elsewhere? Or should we call it a night? It's up to
       you,"
       -----
       The murmured words in his ear had Botan shiver with want.
       "Maybe... I... might be a little pent up... it... has been a
       while... what... did you have in mind?" He questioned as he
       turned under Akira to face the man, his blush quite dark.
       Seeing the look in the man's eyes had Botan reaching up slowly
       to cup the man's face and pulled him gently into a soft,
       hesitant kiss.

       Akira was quite pleased when Botan moved around, brushing
       against his body as he maneuvered onto his back. "Hmm...
       anything and everything you might want to do. It's been awhile
       for me too."
       Akira let the younger man take the lead at first, savoring the
       first hesitant kiss, letting out a soft pleased moan. Then he
       lowered himself, kissing Botan back deeper, running his hands up
       into the other's short red hair.
       ----
       Another needy groan left Botan at the moan Akira let out before
       the kiss deepened as the older man tangled his hands in Botan's
       still damp hair as the kissing got more intense. His hands
       moving down to explore the man's body. It wasn't hard to lose
       himself against Akira's lips. His own lips moving from the kiss
       to plant kisses down his jaw at the the man's neck before
       nibbling gently. "You are driving me absolutely wild," he
       complained playfully.
       ----
       Akira let out a soft moan at the hands exploring his body. Their
       mouths got more involved, as did Akira's tongue. It dipped and
       stroked and teased Botan's mouth and tongue quite passionately.
       He panted a bit and groaned as Botan kissed down his jaw and
       then nibbled his neck.
       "Oh am I? You're one to talk," he teased, moving a hand to
       stroke the other's face and neck then moved to lick and suck at
       Botan's nipples.
       After teasing the other's body for long enough he moved to strip
       them both of their pants and then moved to pleasure Botan.  Soft
       moans came from Akira as he took the other's member deep into
       his mouth and throat and moved slowly over Botan. His hands were
       holding Botan's waist down as he pleasured him.
       ----
       A look of surprise came to Botan's features at how dominate
       Akira was as he took control. All the bodyguard could do was
       watch as the gorgeous man teased his body before he watched the
       man strip them both before the guy was holding his hips down as
       he was pleasured by that sexy mouth. "Oh fu.ck! Akira! That
       feels so good!" He moaned out hotly.
       -----
       Akira continued pleasuring Botan, moving a bit faster and
       sucking harder. Soft muffled moans came from him as he slid his
       hands over the other's body.
       He slowly pulled away, and caressed Botan's body, leaving the
       man on the verge of cumming. "Do you want to fu.ck me or be
       fu.cked?" Akira asked. "You've got lube somewhere right? I could
       use the massage oil if need be," he added thoughtfully.
       ----
       The way Akira pleasured and teased his body had Botan feeling
       like his whole body was on fire as he squirmed at the attention,
       groaning in complaint when the man stopped short of letting him
       come.
       "I have lube in the top draw of the nightstand, condoms too...
       oh I want to fu.ck you, be fu.cked by you... I want *all* of
       you," he admitted as be grabbed a handful of the man's hair to
       pull him into a steamy kiss. "Not going to lie... I've been
       thinking about being with you like this... for a long time..."
       He confessed.
       -----
       Akira was quite enjoying how Botan reacted to his touches and
       grinned at the other's confession of wanting all of him. He let
       out a groan at his hair being grabbed and roughly pulled into a
       very deep provocative kiss.
       "Oh really?" Akira purred back, sliding both of his hands into
       Botan's hair and reclaimed the other's mouth, sliding his tongue
       inside to tease him even more.
       After getting both of them extremely turned on from their kisses
       and bodies rubbing together, Akira pulled away to grab the
       bottle of lube and a handful of condoms. His eyes gleamed as he
       slowly trailed kisses over Botan's body starting at his jaw and
       nibbled down his neck and further without any sign of speeding
       anything up, despite any pleas that cane from Botan.
       "Just relax and enjoy yourself. I want our first time together
       to be memorable for you," Akira purred back before he was using
       his tongue to tease Botan's hole and started stretching him out
       with a finger and lubricant.
       Taking extreme care, Akira got three of his fingers deep inside,
       curving them as he slowly thrust them in.
       "Hmm...I guess you're finally ready for me now,"
       Akira grabbed a condom and handed it to Botan to open for him.
       "You mind putting it on?"
       ----
       The way Akira purred those words before tangling his hands into
       Botan's hair had shivers running through him as they intensely,
       teasing and exploring each other's mouths as their bodies
       grinded and rubbed together turning them both on more and more.
       He was insanely turned on by the time the kiss broke and Akira
       began to trail kisses down his jaw and at an agonizing pace.
       It didn't matter what Botan said, nothing seemed to speed him up
       and only got the man telling him to relax.
       "You don't have to try to make anything with you memorable
       Akira," he reasoned before he felt the man spread his legs and
       dive into stretching him out with his tongue and then fingers.
       Botan was a squirming, moaning mess by the time his new lover
       was three fingers in and decided him was ready before asking
       him to put the condom on for him.
       "Absolutely," was all he could manage, his body desperate for
       what was going to come next as he tore the wrapper open and
       quickly placed it on the tip of Akira's throbbing members before
       using his mouth the spread it all the way down and pleasure the
       man while he was at it. "There," he mused before he laid back
       down on his back and spread his legs for the man, giving him a
       good view. "I can't wait anymore, please fu.ck me," he begged
       with a dark blush.
       -----
       It took Akira a moment to understand what Botan had meant with
       his reply. He chuckled, feeling pleased that Botan already felt
       that way about him.
       He could hear the desperate neediness in Botan's one word
       response. His body shivered and a deep groan escaped him from
       the man's sexy move in using his mouth to get out the condom
       down his full length.
       "Fu.ck!" He swore darkly, moaning a bit more as Botan used his
       mouth on him for a few moments.
       "Sexy fu.cker," Akira muttered barely holding himself back as
       Botan finally moved onto his back and gave him a great view of
       his aroused state and stretched hole.
       Hearing the man begging, had him moving to press Botan's legs a
       bit wider and aligned himself, and slowly eased himself inside.
       "God you are so fu.cking tight and hot as hell," he groaned,
       bucking his hips slowly.
       ----
       The way Akira praised his looks had Botan blushing again, being
       called sexy and hot were not words he was all that used to being
       called.  When his legs were pushed back and Akira finally
       started to push inside of him, Botan's back arching against the
       sensation of being filled like this. "You are fu.cking huge!" He
       gasped out with a moan, more falling from his lips as the man
       began to claim his body.
       "Akira! More please, don't hold back!" He begged, greedily
       wanting everything the man had to offer. His arms and legs
       wrapped around his lover as best they could as he pulled the man
       into a steamy kiss, eagerly exploring the man's mouth.
       ------
       Botan's gasped praise and moan of pleasure had Akira smiling and
       bracing himself over the man.
       The begging and arms and legs wrapping around him brought
       another deep groan from him, which was soon smothered by Botan's
       eager lips. He couldn't hold back once the other's tongue
       started exploring his mouth.
       He started moving, running his hands over the other's body as he
       claimed Botan with quick rough thrusts. He would just have to
       take his time playing with Botan during their second round.
       He pulled his mouth back, panting a bit as he began moving even
       faster. After a moment, he pulled Botan's arms up and pinned
       them to the bed above the man's head. Then leaned in to make a
       very dark mark on the other's neck.
       "Might just have to keep you underneath me all night. I don't
       feel like I'll ever get enough of you,"
       ----
       When Akira gave Botan exactly what he had asked for, the
       bodyguard was lost in the intense pleasure that raced through
       his body, moaning hotly into the kiss as he was so amazingly
       ravaged. When Akira pulled his mouth back, breaking the kiss
       before going even faster had the man's name spilling from his
       lips in needy moans of pleasure escaped him.
       He was in too much of a daze to even register what the man was
       doing until his hands were already pinned above his head and his
       new lover latched onto his neck. "Fu.ck yes! Oh fu.ck me all
       night long, mark me up, I'm all yours you sexy beast," he moaned
       out just about breathless. "You, you are going to make me cu.m!"
       He warned mere moments before he spilled all over himself and
       his lover.
       -----
       Akira let out a deep pleased groan as he continued claiming and
       marking Botan's neck and shoulders with dark hickies. It was
       easy to get addicted to the very vocal and handsome Botan.
       "Oh I will," Akira promised, moving even faster at the other's
       warning. "By all means cum all you want," he replied with a
       pleased grin.
       Watching the other come undone and spilling already drove him on
       until he came with a loud groan and filled the confom with a
       large load.
       Their night continued with many other more positions and intense
       sex. By the time Akira had worn Botan out for good it was
       nearing 3 am. "Try and get some sleep," he told Botan, pulling
       the younger man to snuggle on top of his chest. "I'll get up
       when Ryu does." He promised and wrapped his arms loosely around
       Botan.
       He managed to get a little over 3 hours when he heard Ryu crying
       from his room where the crib was.
       He very carefully and gently moved Botan off of him and covered
       the man with the sheet before getting up.
       He grabbed his clothes and quickly redressed before going to get
       Ryu out of his crib.
       "Hey Little man, you needing a diaper change and breakfast? How
       about some eggs and a banana? Maybe some mushed sweet potatoes
       too?"
       Akira continued talking to the little boy as he changed the
       messy diaper and then got Ryu changed and went into the kitchen
       to prepare the 2 yr olds breakfast.

       By: Minyaagar Date: February 20, 2026, 8:37 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Choei slowly woke up at the sound of crying. He sat up slowly
       holding his head before hearing feet pass his door and his brow
       going up. He got out of bed to go and grab clothes for the day
       before smelling food -he knew Botan didn’t do breakfast a whole
       ton- and got suspicious. It was confirmed when he saw akira and
       blushed a bit.
       ”oh morning.” He said as he moved toward the cub board that he
       arranged like a medicine cabinet to grab some pills and took
       some with water.
       “I’ll get started on coffee.. “ he said as he waited for Botan
       to get up, he had a feeling the two had some fun- akira
       seemingly more bouncy than normal himself.
       He went to Ryu saw the drink was low to go make the young boy
       more and gave it to him. His mind went to last night as he
       realized.. he was having one of his own soon.  He watched as ryu
       smashed his bananas and eat them as how he saw fit he knew later
       he’d need to call Rosa. Her frightened features and her coming
       to him about it was brave enough. He hadn’t bothered touching
       his phone yet as he let his sober mind take the time to process
       it.”I wasn’t too much to handle was I?” Was all that he asked as
       he tried to break the silence.
       --+++
       Akira twisted around at the sound of Choei's greeting and looked
       the other over closely. "How are you feeling this morning? If
       you want to talk I'm here to listen,"
       Akira went back to the scrambled eggs he was making. "Coffee
       sounds great," he said with a yawn. "Probably going to take a
       nap when Ryu does.  I definitely stayed up far too late,"
       Akira deposited the finished eggs on a plate to cool down a bit
       and added a few more eggs to the pan. "You want eggs too? Oh
       mind grabbing the English muffins and popping one on the
       toaster? Oh you weren't too much at all." He replied, not quite
       sure if he should tell Choei about sticking him in the shower or
       not.
       ---
       “Pounding headache but besides that- may just be mulling what to
       do.” He said as he went to fulfill the request. “Well found out
       my friends pregnant- condom and the pill failed. She’s planning
       on keeping the baby- and just wanted to inform me. But honestly-
       I don’t think I could handle the idea of not knowing my kid.” He
       said as he fumbled a bit with putting one of the muffins in the
       toaster.
       “It’s just a lot ya know?” He said as the coffee seemed to
       finish up as he got himself one to practically pour sugar in it
       with the cream. He stirred it to take a taste and added one more
       spoonful to the coffee before sitting by the now messy two year
       old for him to clean up the boy to no avail as ryu went to now
       playing with the food.
       “Ryu.. it’s not a toy..” he coaxed as the boy looked at him to
       smash it more before shoving the food in. He sighed a bit.”least
       this job has me ready to care for one- I just.. well I know we
       need to talk. Soon as botan’s up.” He said smoothing his long
       hair to grab a hair tie to tighten it.
       -----
       "you're going to need something to eat, your sugar and coffee
       won't relieve your headache,"Akira teased, knowing the other's
       habit with his coffee.
       He listened quietly as Choei kept talking, saying how he wanted
       to be more involved in his kids life.
       "Oh it is a lot, but you are more than capable. Botan and I will
       help in any way we can. I know you'll make a great dad, you do
       really well with Ryu."
       Akira finished cooking and set some food on the table for him
       and Choei and took a bite of his egg muffin sandwich.
       "It may be a little while before Botan gets up, I think I wore
       him out last night," Akira said with a bit of a grin, thinking
       about the incredible night they'd had.
       -----
       The night was unforgettable, the way Akira used his body to the
       point of Botan being entirely worn out, nodding numbly at his
       new lover's suggestion of getting some sleep with a promise of
       tending to Ryu when the child woke. The bodyguard didn't need
       any further coaxing before he was passed out and snoring.
       It wouldn't be until nearly 10am when Botan *finally* woke,
       being stirred back to like by his loyal dog as the massive
       animal licked his face and whined. "Mmmm okay okay I'm up..."
       grumbled Botan as he slowly got out of bed, groaning when he
       realized how sore he was. He got up and went to go about his
       morning routine before be noticed the marks. "Fu.ck Aki did a
       number on me..." He said in surprise. His shirt did nothing to
       cover most of the marks.
       He debated on putting make up on over the marks but decided
       Choei was bound to find out regardless so went against the
       thought. Soon enough he had his dog on a leash and headed out
       past the kitchen and living room to take the critter to do his
       business before returning and freeing the animal before headed
       into the kitchen to get himself some coffee.
       ----
       “Mmm.. coffee been known to help.” Said choei with a smirk.
       “Oh? So the grump finally got laid.. explained why I woke up a
       few times.” He said as he enjoyed his morning.. he finally saw
       the grumpy man coming out, letting him have his time taking care
       of his dog and getting his coffee. Once choei saw him good and
       settled smirked as his lifted his second cup of the morning.”hey
       Botan- you’re practically *glowing* today.  What gives? Oh and I
       think you got something in your room last night- kept waking up
       to thudding on my bedroom wall…” he teased before taking a sip
       of coffee.
       ----
       The morning seemed to go by a bit slowly and even with his two
       cups of coffee, Akira was yawning by the time Botan emerged from
       his room. Ryu had gotten some play time in and his favorite show
       of the morning. He was happily babbling and being his goofy self
       in the living room until he saw the dog walking by with Botan.
       Akira slowly got up and picked Ryu up and stepped over the child
       gate between the two rooms.
       His eyes fell on the dark marks he'd made on Botan's neck and
       shoulders. Choei's teasing had him chuckling a bit.
       "Hey now, enough of the teasing. Next time we'll include you in
       on the fun. That is if you can handle both of us," Akira said
       with a wink.
       "You feeling okay this morning?" He asked slipping Ryu to Choei
       and then moving to wrap his arms around Botan from behind and
       hugging the man. "I hope I wasn't too rough on you," he murmured
       in a lower voice.
       -----
       Hearing Choei say his name had the sleepy Botan glancing up at
       him from behind his cup of coffee before a very dark blush
       crossed his cheeks at the man claiming he was glowing before
       commenting on a thudding noise which made the blush deepen even
       more.
       Then Akira come in and chastised Choei on the teasing before
       claiming he would be included in the fun next time. Botan took a
       long sip of his coffee, tensing as Akira got behind him and
       wrapped his arms around the bodyguard. It took a few moments for
       him to relax against the man, clearly not used to affection.
       "I'm fine, you... were amazing last night..." He said softly,
       shyly almost.
       ----
       Choei chuckled a bit as he took a long drink.”mmmm flirting so
       cute. And sounds lots of fun.” Said the man as he then settled
       down.”..all teasing aside.. I kinda need to talk to you two..
       it’s about Rosa and the baby.. uhm..” he fell silent.”if.. I
       asked her to move it would it be alright.. given our work and
       all I can’t be in two places and well it’s thanks to her we get
       all the recent warnings of attacks and all.. I know we got the
       basement room she could stay in.. but I wanted to see what you
       two would say…” he said as he went back to cleaning up ryu
       again.
       -----
       Akira waited patiently for Botan to relax against him, and
       leaned in to kiss the man's neck gently. "That's good to hear.
       You were pretty amazing yourself, Botan," Akira murmured back
       and kissed one of the marks he'd made on the other's neck.
       Akira slowly pulled back and took Botan's hand and led him over
       to the table. He listened intently as Choei talked about Rose
       and asking her to move in with them.
       "We will have to talk to Mr. Takashi about bringing her here,
       but given she's helped us out so many times, I imagine he'd
       approve of her being here. If he's okay with it, I have no
       objections," Akira replied. "We all know Mr. Takashi wouldn't
       want you worrying about Rose or your baby. I am supposed to call
       him later today to give him a report, you can get in on the call
       and ask him then,"
       ----+
       The contact of Akira's lips on Botan's tender neck got a groan
       out of the usually grumpy man. It was shortly after this that
       the man led him over to the table as Choei wanted to ask them
       about moving in his baby mama.
       "I don't think it is a good idea, someone might realize she is
       giving out information if she is seen associating and living
       with us.... think it could compromise this location entirely and
       we would have to uproot and move. It opens us up more than we
       already are to danger... think Mr. Takashi would be the one to
       decide if he wants the added risk. I won't stop you from moving
       her in if you get the okay, but I do think it is a bad idea..."
       He explained before taking more sips of his coffee. "I'm not
       trying to be an ass just my job of threat assessment..." He
       added.
       ----
       Choei listened to the two talk about it as he got one green
       light. He figured akira would be one to accept it, and nodded a
       bit.
       But Botan was more of a man that gave what he felt was a fair
       assessment. “I know you’re not trying to be an a.ss- just..
       aside from risks morally I’d feel like shit if I left rose
       completely on her own- if it gets rejected- what can I do to
       help.. after all I made this mess too and I rather not be like
       my father and pretend my kid doesn’t exist.” He said honestly.
