Summary: The war is over. Miyako saved Jun and they started their new life.
Iliada started with a little drabble about a girl getting into Jun’s circle. In that drabble. he kept her in secret from his people because he knew she was trouble. Then, after reading the Millennium saga, that drabble started to grow in my head as this story of spy’s, drugs and sex.
This was the first time I wrote a character not inspired in anyway by me. The first time that I wonder what she would do in this situation instead of what I would do in this situation. I liked it. Although it was hard and the result wasn’t as good as it could be, Miyako is the begging of something, the develop of something in this cute little hobby of mine.
Now about the name. Iliada, as in Homer’s “The Iliad”. I named it like that for two reasons. First reason, The Iliad is a story that often portraits woman like Miyako, the Amazons were referred to as those who fight like men. Fearless, strong, woman’s of war. And on the other side, the main hero from The Iliad, Achilles, is a man who does everything impulse by anger, as Jun. Then by the end, Jun lets go to all that hate, and is in peace with himself, but with the help of Miyako. Like Darth Vader with the help of his son Luck in Star Wars (I’m conscious about how weird the reference is but I like star wars, sue me).
Now, about this small story you are about to read. Is a bit of a closure. I could have published it with the final chapter, but somehow, I felt like it didn’t fit with it. After all, this story is after the war. And Iliada was a constants fight. Now they can live in peace. So I leaved the happy ending apart.
All said. I hope you enjoy it.
And as always, thanks for reading.
Miyako will never forget Jun’s face the day he met his son.
Once they arrived, the first thing Jun asked for was to meet Ryousuke, who was currently sleeping or that was what she thought.
Nino’s mom appeared in the living room breaking in to tears as soon as she saw Jun "I can’t believe you are finally here, Nino called saying that the bomb had already explode in Japan, and they are looking for you and that they are so lost by the misleading signals…but I was still worried that you guys wouldn’t make it" she said caressing Jun’s face, and pulling Miyako close to her too. "Ryo-kun is still up, waiting to meet his dad" Miyako felt how Jun’s body started to shiver. She had already lost count on how many times Jun had asked her 'What if he doesn’t like me' to which Miyako always answered 'He likes you already, so much', she didn’t told him that Ryousuke had asked her the same question several times before 'What if daddy doesn’t like me?'. So to make things easier for the two of them, she acted as a mediator. She left Jun in the library and went to pick up Ryousuke at his room.
Jun’s hands were covered in sweat already, and when he heard Miyako’s voice, soothing her son’s worries it got worst. Miyako appeared in the threshold alone, apparently. Jun couldn’t see at first sight the two small hands holding Miyako’s thigh, and was only conscious of the presence of this little kid when he peeked from behind Miyako’s legs. "Jun" she said soothing the tension, calling her lovers attention. “This is Ryousuke, Ryo-kun, this is Jun, your dad" Jun didn’t know what to do or say, but his son did. Finally from behind Miyako’s legs, the small figure of Ryousuke appeared. His walk was shy, and cautious, but is eyes showed nothing but curiosity. Six short steps separated him from his dad, he took three, and Jun the other three. Instinctively Jun crouched in the floor, reaching his sons height. They stared at each other’s eyes for a while, both curious. "You know me?" asked Ryousuke, and his voice was instantly burned in Jun’s memory, the first memory of his child. "I know you, I know you Ryousuke" The bright smile of his son became the second memory burned in his mind. And the feel of his small frame in between his arms the third one. Ryousuke passed his short arms around Jun’s neck resting his head on his shoulder. Jun felt like staying like that for a long while, so he could give Ryousuke all the hugs and kisses he couldn’t give him before. But suddenly, Ryo-kun felt quite heavy in between Jun’s arms. "Miyako what happened to him?" Jun’s worry was contagious, so Miyako ran to Ryousuke’s side to see what was wrong with him. But she only found a peaceful face already asleep. “He fall asleep, you did your best waiting for your daddy uh?, help me take him to bed Jun" Jun lifted Ryo from the floor and was surprised of how naturally he executed the action. Miyako guided him to Ryousuke’s room, a bright room next to Jun’s library. He left him on top of the bed and Miyako covered him with the blankets. Meanwhile Jun looked around the room and found a picture of him on top of Ryousuke night stand. He said nothing, but treasured the gesture. "Done, He sleeps like a rock"
"Like you"
"Yeah, give him a kiss good night and let’s go so I can show you the rest of the house. Tomorrow you will be able to talk with him about everything" Jun nodded with a smile in his face, thinking about the tomorrow and all the things he had to tell to his son. And all the things he will learn about him.
Miyako hold his hand and guided him outside the room. She had told him her intentions of showing him the new house, and he really wanted to do it. But there were some other priorities. And he wanted to take care of them, before fading out due to extenuation. She pulled his hand with insistence, but Jun didn’t move “What is the matter?” She asked with an adorable frown “Nothing, you see, I can’t wait to see what you create for the both of us…but try to understand me” He looked at her with pleading eyes. Miyako said nothing, only grinned and guided Jun along a narrow corridor made of dark wood. “Here is our room” Said Miyako, opening a big dark brown door “I’m used to sleep in the floor, and a room is not a big deal for me, so I copy your bedroom back in Japan, in that way I’m sure you are going to be comfortable” Jun felt as if he went back in time, and space, to his old house. Miyako wasn’t lying. She copied Jun’s room. His bed, his night stands, the sofa in front of his window, everything was the same. “I also made you a big closet, so you can organize al your clothes as you like, the walls are different though, we needed walls with better isolation, winters are hardcore here” Jun wanted to say several thing. But put the ideas together was kind of a struggle. Still, Miyako didn’t need them, she saw the happiness of Jun reflected in his eyes. “I can’t believe you built me a wardrobe” Miyako burst in to laughter pulling Jun with her, but again, he didn’t move “We will see it later” He said pulling Miyako closer to him with his free hand, passing an arm around her shoulders “And you will help me to organize it by color and types of clothing, we will make a big party out of it, but now…” He didn’t need to finish that sentence, Miyako could read those dark eyes of him. She move closer to him, the closest she could, with sudden wildness, making Jun release a low groan. Groan that send an electrifying sensation along her body, making her frantic. Miyako felt how her clothes started to fell in to the floor, and she wished they could inaugurate their new bed, but it was dangerous. What if they fall sleep as soon as they drop on top of the bed? Although that was just a cheap excuse, they didn’t reach the bed because they couldn’t, the need was stronger. Because it wasn’t just the need of touch each other after so long, it was also the overwhelming feeling of the beginning of this new, very new chapter of their life. Now they were free, there were no lies, no fears, and no plans cooking. Just the two of them. In their room, their very own room in their very own house, lost in the south of Argentina.
And after 5 years without feeling each other, their bodies felt brand new for each other. Familiar, but new. Miyako could appreciate again every line in Jun’s chiseled face, and feel his skin and muscles under her hands, a bit rougher, but still so delicious. And for Jun, Miyako’s body, now softer than before, with wider hips and softer breast, was a new sensation, intoxicating and irresistible.
During those god knows how many minutes they enjoyed each other, they forgot about how tired they were, how much they needed a shower, how much they needed to sleep.
On the contrary, Jun didn’t want this to stop. Ever.
Ryousuke didn’t leave Jun’s side during the morning. They took a bath together, they got dressed together and they sat at the table together. Miyako understood that from now on, she was the third wheel. And she was alright with it. Just looking at Ryousuke so happy, and Jun beyond happy was good enough for her.
After breakfast Ryousuke pulled his dad to his room, grabbed a book from one of his stands and then pulled Jun outside the house in to the garden, with Tarou and Sabotarou following their steps. Jun sat in a wicker sofa and Ryousuke sat really close to him, opening the book he was holding. "Mom did this for us, Look!" What Jun thought was a book, was really a photo album, and the first picture occupied the entire page "This is me with 10 minutes of life, I weighted 6 pounds, Mom said that it hurt, but not as much as Russia, I don’t know what she means by that, she said I’m too small to know it"
"And she is right” Ryousuke pouted and Jun felt as if he was staring a mirror. He looked so much like him when he was little. Ryousuke shrugged in an adorable way and change the page of his photo album. "This is me and uncle Nino, you know him right?"
"Of course, he is my dearest friend, a brother, he is good with you?"
"He calls me little J, he brings me games and plays with me, when is he going to come?"
"Soon, he just have to settle things at his work" Ryousuke smiled at his dad and kept turning the pages of the album. Miyako had made such a beautiful work. There were so many pictures, she had document ever single moment of Ryousuke’s life. His first steps, his first solid meal, the first time he met Tarou and Sabotarou, his first girlfriend "This is Soledad, we go to the same kindergarten"
"She is very cute"
"She lives 2 hours away from here, I miss her" Jun felt overwhelmed by the presence of his son’s first love troubles. "Well son, we come to this world so we can love and miss girls, but don’t worry, you will see her soon"
"You missed mom?"
"Every single day" Ryousuke looked worried for something, Jun pulled him closer caressing hi head, kissing his forehead "What is wrong? Did I make you sad?"
"No, is just that we missed you too... Will you leave us any time soon?"
"No, I will be staying here for a long while, no, scratch that, I will stay here forever" Ryousuke’s happy self came back and Jun hold him strongly against his frame. Another picture of Nino and Ryo appeared, with Nino grabbing Ryo upside down as he was cracking up in laughter "Dad, you said Nino was like your brother?"
"Yes, although we don’t have the same mom or dad, we grew up together, he has been with me always, supporting me, laughing with me, taking care of me" He looked in to the distance, thoughtful, for a while "I want uno too" Jun jolted at Ryousuke’s words, especially the used of Spanish, it wasn’t the first time his son mixed the two languages in a sentence. "A what?" he asked, following his son’s conversation "A brother, like Nino and you" Jun choke on his own saliva in an almost theatrical way "You, you want a brother?"
"Yeah, I asked mom I while ago, but she said that we needed a ti if I wanted another brother"
"ok, let’s see…I…I will talk with your mom and we will see if...yeah"
As soon as Jun had some time alone with Miyako, he brought up the issue "Oh the brother thing, yeah, he brought that up some months ago" Jun had told her the story meanwhile Ryousuke was taking a nap. They decided to go for a walk, Miyako couldn’t wait to show him the beautiful surrounding of their home, specially a lake 10 minutes away from their house. Miyako had bought that land particularly for that lake. “I told him that to have a brother, you had to be here, that cute little thing never forgets uh?"
"Well... And what do you thing?"
"Is not a bad idea, he will live a very lonely childhood otherwise. The closest house is 2 hours away from here, we don’t have neighbors, and kids need other kids to grow up. Since the beginning Ryo has been surrounded by adults and you see how he is, and he is just 4 years old, but he talks with so much maturity. A brother could help him to be more of a kid...that’s what I thing"
"So in other words..."
"In other words, go ahead and knock up me Jun" He laughed loudly, holding Miyako’s hand, pulling her closer, so they could walk together. It wasn’t just Miyako’s words what made him laugh, it was the entire situation. Not that it was funny, but it was rather unbelievable. From one day to the other he had a house, a son and a family. And now he was thinking about growing the family.
He couldn’t even remember what being in jail was. Even the memories of his days in Japan looked so fogged right now. “I am a bit scared Miyako" Jun stopped in a sudden halt "Because everything seems so good and happiness hit you too suddenly?" Guessed Miyako, smiling peacefully at Jun "How do you know?"
"I took a wild guess" She reached Jun, taking his hands with a strong hold "Jun, no one is going to find us here, it's going to take them years to finally realize that the traces we left are fake. And once they do, they will have no signal that could guide them to us. They don’t even know that you are with me"
"But your people is good"
"They are not my people, but yeah, they are good, but they are not involve, regular police investigators are in charge of your case, their egos are too big to let national security get in, especially after they captured you"
"But what if they go to national security again, as they did before" All the buts that Jun was finding were entertaining Miyako. She had an answer for all of them "If that happens, Aiba will tell me, in fact, he send me a message this morning saying that Sakurai asked him to find about my whereabouts, he showed him the fake data we created, now he thinks I’m living in Indonesia"
"And why he is asking for your whereabouts?"
"He thinks I plotted all this with you"
"Damn, he is good!"
"I know, and I would worry, but Aiba is taking care of Sakurai’s curiosity, so see? Everything is covered" Jun closed his eyes and took a deep breath, letting the protection he felt from Miyako’s hands take over his body, relaxing. “Come on Jun, let’s keep walking, I really want you to see the lake” Jun let himself being pulled by Miyako, and reached her side, passing his arm around her shoulders. They walk in silence for a while. Instead of thinking about worry, Jun begging to go through all the things he did with his son during the day. “Miyako, I realized something, when Ryo-kun talks, once in a while, he mix Japanese with Spanish”
“Well, at pre-school he speaks Spanish, and at home he speaks Japanese, is normal for him to put them together, especially now that he is still learning them”
“Oh right, he has to be bilingual, I forgot that, it must be hard for him”
“I don’t think so, he is a smart kid, and whenever he needs help with his homework, I help him” Jun looked honestly surprised, he completely forgot what Miyako used to do for living “You speak Spanish!”
“Of course I do!” Jun laughed again, which relieved Miyako, apparently her man was finally convinced that they were safe there “And how are we going to live, I mean, I’m broke, and you quit your job”
“You’re not broke, Matsumoto Jun is broke and currently missing, but Tsukasa has a very successful real estate business, where he rents different properties he owns in America and Japan, and I did quit, but I have a very good amount saved, since I never spend too much money, also, living here, as you can imagine, is not very expensive” Jun softly bump his head with Miyako’s in a playful way “Miyako, you’re too amazing, really” She only chuckled and passed her arm around Jun’s waist, pinching him, enjoying the tiny yelp he released “Look, we are here” Jun looked up and saw the deep blue color of the water spreading across the horizon, tall threes protected the surroundings of the lake and different kinds of birds flied from one side to the other. It was a landscape he never saw before, it was an air he never breathe before. It was the scenery where Ryousuke will grow up, were Miyako would have her second child, this time with Jun’s company, it was the scenery where he and Miyako will grow old.
It wasn’t their new life, it was the continuation of their old life. It was the home where they settle up, and stopped playing being the bad boy and the superhero.
It was them. Aiming for something bigger.
A family.

They walk in silence for a while. Instead of thinking about worry, Jun begging to go through all the things he did with his son during the day. “Miyako, I realized something, when Ryo-kun talks, once in a while, he mix Japanese with Spanish”
“Well, at pre-school he speaks Spanish, and at home he speaks Japanese, is normal for him to put them together, especially now that he is still learning them”
“Oh right, he has to be bilingual, I forgot that, it must be hard for him”
“I don’t think so, he is a smart kid, and whenever he needs help with his homework, I help him” Jun looked honestly surprised, he completely forgot what Miyako used to do for living “You speak Spanish!”
“Of course I do!” Jun laughed again, which relieved Miyako, apparently her man was finally convinced that they were safe there “And how are we going to live, I mean, I’m broke, and you quit your job”
“You’re not broke, Matsumoto Jun is broke and currently missing, but Tsukasa has a very successful real estate business, where he rents different properties he owns in America and Japan, and I did quit, but I have a very good amount saved, since I never spend too much money, also, living here, as you can imagine, is not very expensive” Jun softly bump his head with Miyako’s in a playful way “Miyako, you’re too amazing, really” She only chuckled and passed her arm around Jun’s waist, pinching him, enjoying the tiny yelp he released “Look, we are here” Jun looked up and saw the deep blue color of the water spreading across the horizon, tall threes protected the surroundings of the lake and different kinds of birds flied from one side to the other. It was a landscape he never saw before, it was an air he never breathe before. It was the scenery where Ryousuke will grow up, were Miyako would have her second child, this time with Jun’s company, it was the scenery where he and Miyako will grow old.
It wasn’t their new life, it was the continuation of their old life. It was the home where they settle up, and stopped playing being the bad boy and the superhero.
It was them. Aiming for something bigger.
A family.
