Summary: Tohma returns home late after having to 'erase' a problem. Mika, still awake, confronts him.
Tohma returned home late. Much later than usual. That didn’t matter, though because Mika was asleep. It was fortunate, in fact, for this had been a rather messy job. The man crept quietly through the house and made it to the stairs before a light clicked on and Mika was revealed to be sitting on the couch, her arms crossed over her chest.
“It’s about time.”
“Mika-san, I-”
“Be quiet,” she snapped, standing up. “You’ve ruined your best jacket.” She approached him and held out her hand. “What the hell were you thinking?”
“I apologize, Mika-san,” he stated, shrugging his jacket off and handing it to her. “It had to be done and it certainly couldn’t wait.”
“It could have been done without your jacket.” She draped it over her arm and glanced back up at him. “Even so, I don’t like that, Tohma. You know that.”
“I know, but to stay on the top I do what I have to,” he explained, frowning slightly. “What I do is partially why we continue to stay so wealthy.”
“Yes, I know that,” Mika stated sharply, returning the frown. He sighed softly and moved forward to wrap his arms around her waist.
“Please, understand, Mika-san.”
“I’m worried that you’ll be seen some day…” she spoke softly. “Or that you won’t come home.”
“I know, but you have to trust me when I say that I wouldn’t go into such a dangerous situation unprepared. You should know me better than that.”
“I know you won’t go unprepared, but they may be more prepared than you are,” she told him, frowning more.
“This is why I do use help when I need it.” He stroked her hair gently and she rested her head against his chest.
“All right. I trust you.” She closed her eyes and they stayed that way for only a moment more. Mika never approved of the horrible acts he committed, but she knew that he was doing it for her sake, and that was all she needed to know.
