"Look who's decided to drop in. I assumed a coward like you would have run away by now." Hikaru said, as Keito placed his meal down next to his bed.
"I-I have your lunch."
"What's with that wimpy little voice of yours huh?" Hikaru said, his voice full of disdain.
"You sound like a little katagi, all scared by an appearance. Are you scared? Do you judge us because of the way we look? The way we talk? Do you think of us as horrible, wild animals like the rest of the world does? DO YOU?!" Keito was shaking his head violently, denying the accusations coming from Hikaru's mouth.
"Why don't you just leave? Run back to your father; tell him it was too hard, that you can't do it. You're never gonna be like us anyway, so why waste your time now?"
"I-I'm sorry if I did anything to offend you." Keito said, knowing that his voice betrayed how upset he was. Hikaru just snarled.
"Your face offends me."
"I'm sorry....I'm sorry...I'll go." He said, and left, wandering around the house until he found a bathroom, going in and locking the door, crying to himself for a few minutes. What had he done to deserve such hatred? Why did Hikaru think of him in that way? He told himself the boy was probably in a bad mood from being bedridden, and didn't mean the things he had said, but only a small part of him believed it.
Quickly, he wiped away his tears, and went downstairs, puttering around until dinner time, during which he ate in solitude in the living room. He was pulled aside by Yabu, whom was obviously going out again, and the medical kit was shoved into his hands.
"Check Hikaru and Daiki's stitches, we'll need to be extra sure they don't get infected, so use some of the wipes in there." He gestured to the kit.
"Rewrap everyone, Yama-chan's gonna need his wound packed again, make sure to be very careful. Everything you need is in there. My phone number is on a paper in there too, just in case, although Hika is better than I am...good luck." Yabu said, before leaving, Keito standing there confused for a second, before processing everything that was said to him, nervousness taking over.
He took the kit to Yamada and Daiki's room, avoiding Hikaru at all costs. Yuto was in there when he arrived, and they had all been talking about something, but stopped when he entered.
"I'm going to do a follow up on your injuries..." Keito said, and Daiki decided to go first, offering his shoulder for Keito to take a look at.
"I'll do Yama-chan." Yuto said, giving Yamada a small smile, which his injured friend returned.
"Be careful." Daiki cautioned, as Keito unwound his bandage, and removed the gauze padding underneath, bringing the stitched up slash into view. Daiki tried to asses it, craning his neck to get a look.
"How's it look?" Daiki asked, and Keito was happy his opinion was wanted....until Daiki turned to Yuto for the answer.
"It's about a five. No infection." Yuto said confidently, sweeping his eyes over the gash, and Daiki nodded.
"Good." He turned back to Keito, letting him run the wet cloth over the cut, put some ointment on it, and began to rewrap it, but was startled by a whimper. It was Yamada, his eyes squeezed shut, his fists clenching the bed sheets in a death grip, and a second whimper of pain escaped his lips as Yuto pulled the packed gauze out of his side.
"Hang in there Yama-chan; we're halfway done now..." Yuto's voice was calm, but a barely noticeable tear ran down his nose, as he watched his friend in pain. Keito looked over the wound, amazed. The hole looked like it penetrated halfway through his body-but Yuto examined it, gently starting to repack it with gauze.
"Um, what does the packing do?" Keito asked, wishing it wasn't necessary.
"It helps to keep me from bleeding out." Yamada said, wincing as he did so.
"And it draws out any infection he might have..." Daiki added as Keito finished his own bandage. Yuto quickly rewrapped Yamada's side, and discreetly wiped the tear from his face.
"Thanks Yuto."
"Anytime, Yama-chan." Yuto said sincerely; but something flashed in his eyes as he turned away.
"Have you done Hikaru-kun yet?" He asked as he and Keito left the room.
"No."
"You afraid, you bastard?"
"No." Keito lied.
Yuto saw right through it.
"I'll go with you, brat." He said, leading the way into Hikaru’s room.
"Hello, Hikaru-kun～" Yuto called cheerily, and Keito filed in behind him.
"Hey Yuto." Hikaru said, giving Keito a small glare, but otherwise ignoring him.
"I'm going to check on your cuts and change your bandage, okay?" Keito said, forcing himself to sound confident. Hikaru just sighed, but with Yuto's help he stood up, and Keito unwrapped his chest, amazed by how bloody the wrappings were as they got closer to his body, until he eventually peeled off the last stiff, red dyed bandage, to reveal the boys chest.
It was encrusted with dried blood, yet many of the cuts had scabbed over. They were extensive, crisscrossing his chest in painful looking patterns. Yet Hikaru acted as though he barely felt them. Keito wiped away the dried blood, and inspected the stitched up cuts, before rewrapping the boy’s chest, and helping him down.
"You did them too tight, you little fr-" Hikaru began, but Yuto cut him off.
"Ya know, it's probably not a good idea to bully the person taking care of you." He said, and Hikaru just glared, his harsh gaze doing what his words hadn't had the chance to; Keito was afraid.
His days continued in this manner, Yuto taking over for Yamada's medical care, and due to this he became a little bit friendlier with Keito. Keito noticed a care in Yuto that wasn't stereotypical of a yakuza, a care that wasn't noticed often, one that usually came out around Yamada. Hikaru continued to snap at him, but he still cooperated whenever Keito changed his bandages or brought him food. Daiki seemed to have decided that Keito wasn't going to try and steal Yamada away, and therefore seemed to like Keito much better, allowing him to hang around whenever he wanted. One day, Keito unwrapped his shoulder, and Yuto looked it over, as usual, but instead of the usual nod, before going back to Yamada, Yuto smiled.
"Time to take the stitches out. Brat, you do it." he grabbed a pair of scissors out of the medical kit.
"Here, I'll show you..." Yuto snipped, pulling the thread out. Keito winced, but Daiki just watched.
"Your turn, don't screw me up." Daiki said, handing Keito the scissors. One by one they came out, Keito being as gentle as he could. Once they were all removed, Daiki rolled his shoulder a bit, testing it.
"How is it, Dai-chan?" Yamada asked, as Yuto wrapped his wounds back up.
"Good, I'll try to go to work tomorrow, I think..."
Keito smiled, relieved that Daiki was officially better.
"Do you have any ongoing swindles? Paying time is coming up you know..." Yuto said, looking worried, not for Daiki, but for Yamada.
"I'm all set. Karina thinks I was on a surprise trip to Hokkaido, to visit my great aunt, whom is in the hospital. The one my family is paying the bills for." Daiki said, a grim smile on his face.
"What about you Yama-chan?"
Yamada smiled a small smile.
"I'm good too; I could be out for a whole year, and still keep up the payments."
Keito was impressed. Daiki gave Yamada a gentle smile.
"Ryosuke is the best actor I've ever met...and it helps that he's got such a nice body." The last bit was said without any embarrassment.
Yuto's face adopted an awful expression; one that only lasted for a second before melting away.
Sure enough, Daiki wasn't there the next day, leaving after breakfast. He was dressed in a button up shirt and sweater vest, glasses framing his eyes, and his hair unstyled, a small bag over his shoulder. Keito nearly burst out laughing. He looked the opposite of his usual self. No one would suspect that beneath that baby blue sweater a large dragon covered his skin.
"I'm off～" He said, a small smile on his face. Inoo picked him up bridal style, and gave him a small kiss on the cheek, before swinging him in a circle, and placing him back on his feet before he walked out the door. Keito was baffled by this display of affection. Yuto immediately leaned toward Keito, and said quietly
"Inoo-kun loves Dai-chan. They're best friends, and they've been doing that since forever; they do it for good luck." Yuto said referencing the spinning and the kiss.
"Inoo's the only one that Daiki will allow to treat him with affection like that. Poor Inoo, he doesn't know what to do...he knows Dai-chan loves Yamada, so he doesn't make any moves." Yuto explained, as they went up to check on Yamada.
"He's liked him for a long time..." Yuto said as they entered Yamadas bedroom. Yamada was listening.
"Inoo?" He asked, as Yuto flopped down next to him on the bed. Yuto nodded.
"Sometimes I wish I didn't like Dai-chan. Inoo-kun would be much better for him than I am. But I'm selfish, and Daiki is happy." Yamada said, sighing and pulling himself up to a sitting position,
"Ne, how much longer will I be out, Dr.Yuto?"
Yuto smiled a bit when Yamada called him doctor, and replied with a laugh in his voice
"Probably another two weeks, Yamada-patient. But only if you're good and eat your veggies."
Aside from Daiki going out nothing out of the ordinary happened that day; Hikaru was still difficult, Yuto hung out with Yamada all day, and was beaten at chess at least twice, Keito ate dinner in the living room, alone, and Yabu and Takaki went out drinking afterwards. A couple of days later Hikaru was also declared well, and he seemed relieved to be leaving his confinement, and going back to doing whatever it was he did during the day; Keito was too scared to ask him. The first night of Hikaru's freedom was paying time for the month, and Keito approached Yuto nervously
"How much do I owe?"
"What do you mean?" Yuto asked, looking up from his meal, a slightly annoyed look on his face.
"My share. How much do I owe?"
"You paid already." Yuto turned to Hikaru, whom was also sitting at the table, going through their bills and organizing papers. Hikaru was obviously the second in command; and therefore was in charge of all of their expenses and bookkeeping.
"The brat paid already, didn't he, Hikaru-kun."
Hikaru looked up; broken out of his train of thought, and after a second he nodded and gave a noncommittal grunt before returning to the pages in front of him.
"B-but I'm sure-"
"You paid, okay?! Now leave, you're annoying!" Yuto said hotly, getting frustrated and turning back to his food. Keito contemplated this for a second, confused. Then, suddenly, he understood; Yuto had paid for him.
"Arigatou, Aniki!" He said, bowing low. Yuto finished eating, and got up, whacking Keito gently on the head as he passed to put his bowl in the sink.
"Who's Aniki? Idiot."
That night, as Keito crawled into bed, Yuto mumbled
"Tomorrow, Yama-chan and I'll teach you how to be a proper akasagi, so you can start earning yourself some money. We're not nice around here; we don't do things for wimpy bastards like you out of the goodness of our hearts." Keito nodded meekly, a small "Hai." in return, before flopping in his bed, where he allowed himself a smile, before falling asleep.
Sure enough, the next day he went downstairs, and was shocked to see Yamada down there, lying on the couch, Daiki cuddling with him, and feeding him breakfast. The other occupants of the house all basically ignored Keito, as per usual. As soon as Daiki left however, Keito found himself the center of attention. The boys that were left at their home all had their eyes on him, eager looks on their faces. He felt as though he was about to be eaten, or was expected to do some amazing feat.
"Someone help me move this table, and then we can start with the brat's training..." Yuto said, and Takaki rushed forward, the two boys moving the coffee table to one side of the room, creating a large open space.
"Now, Yama-chan and I are gonna teach you how to be an akasagi; got it?" Yuto said, motioning for Keito to come and stand with him in the empty space they'd just made. The other boys piled themselves into chairs and couches around the room, all with those same, curious looks on their faces.
