Summary: When word spreads that a certain little junior might debut, the parents find it a wondrous time to lunge at each others throats. And their sons' bank accounts.
A/N: I do realize they have a sister, but I'm too deep in the story. So let's just pretend they don't, ne?
"I'm gonna lose. I'm gonna lose. I'm gonna - " Kei cut off Yabu and all - aka a half-awake Shintaro and Chinen - looked away as the elder two turned Yabu's fear into a make-out session. "I'm still gonna lose, but thanks." Kei promptly smacked his boyfriend over the head.
"You'll be fine." Chinen chided in, repositioning Shintaro's sleeping head on his shoulder. "Ryu-chan says he's got an idea."
Shintaro shifted himself, muttering. "Ryu...chan...mine..."
Chinen rolled his eyes, annoyed, patting the junior's head a bit hard." Yes, Shintaro, we all get Ryutaro is yours."
"Ryutaro? Wait, Ryutaro has a plan?" Chinen nodded, gratefully shifting Shintaro to the surprised Kei.
A knock came from the door. An officer appeared and chills cascaded over all. "Yabu-san, the rial is beginning. Would you please follow me?"
"H...hai." Yabu nodded. He stood, stopped for a moment by Kei squeezing his hand tight.The leave gave a smile, leaning down for Kei to kiss his cheek.
"Knock 'em down, Kota."
"This isn't one of our concerts, but thanks." Kei gave a half-smile, squeezing the hand again for good measures, and let go.
The officer looked clearly annoyed as they traveled down the hallway to the courtroom.
The moment he entered, the fear of the backroom amplified. The judge's eyes were cold, somehow even colder as Yabu's 'escort' spoke to him. He looked away. trying to alleviate some of his anxiety, only to meet the gaze of the Morimotos. He gulped and approached the stand.
The judge spoke. "Please, your name, date of birth, address, and occupation."
Yabu nodded. "My name is Yabu Kota. I was born the 31st of January in 1990. My address is Tokyo 5-16. I am a performer of Johnny's and Associates Agency."
"Yabu-san, could you please give us your arguement why you should have custody of the Morimoto boys." The judge's voice matched his eyes.
Yabu gulped. "Well..Ryutaro..he was scared when his parents began to fight. And he doesn't want to be seperated, which would be inevitable in effect of Morimoto-san and Morimoto-kun's divorce." Another gulp. "If...if they were to live with me, they'd be together and safe." Yabu honestly wanted to kick himself; that was the best he could do?! The judge seemed to be thinking the same. He waved his hand and Yabu quickly dispersed into the benches, grateful to be out the spotlight.
"Next up, Morimoto Ryutaro." The ballif announced and Yabu looked to the door with wide eyes. For sure, the youngest member strolled coolly to the stand. Yabu could only think one thing through his shock - Adult Ryutaro mode = ON!
The judge spoke, cold eyes once again glaring down. "Please, your name, date of birth, address, and occupation."
Yabu nodded. "My name is Morimoto Ryutaro. I was born the 6th of April in 1995. My address is Tokyo 7-4. I am a performer of Johnny's and Associates Agency."
"Morimoto, please describe to us how your parents raised you and your brother."
"Until a few weeks ago, everything was alright. There were a few arguments, like in every relationship, but everything was fine. Then Shintaro said he might debut and they've been at each other's throats non-stop ever since."
"And when your brother ran away. What was their reaction?"
Ryutaro actually rolled his eyes. "I said 'non-stop' for a reason."
The judge blubbered discreetly, leaning forward. "And living with Yabu-san? What difference would there be? Especially if he is bringing home Inoo-san every night?" Yabu put his head in his hands. So that's was what the officer had said. Gasps went about the room, cuddled alongside hushed whispers. The gaval struck, regaining all's attention.
"Yabu-kun had always been nice to Shintaro and me. And having Inoo-kun there will be helpful even more, for studying and the whatnot. And them being together isn't that big a risk. It'd be a bonus, as Shintaro and I are together as it is." The whispers and gasped came again. Yabu stared at Ryutaro's erect back with even wider eyes then when the kid came in. Slowly, he looked at the Morimotos. Both looked like they would kill their son in an instant.
The gavel struck once more and the judge scowled. "Order, ORDER! By order of the court and the power by me, I find Yabu Kota fit as legal guardian of Morimoto Ryutaro and Morimoto Shintaro. Court adjourned." The smashing sound rang again, the judge hurried out of the room and for a moment, all was silent.
Ryutaro breathed and turned swiftly on his heels, motioning quickly for Yabu to follow him. The walk back to the room was quiet, Yabu in his own shock and Ryutaro still far away.
The door opened and in one step, Ryutaro let out a breath and crumpled to the floor. Yabu made to grab him, but a small bundle was there before he could even blink. The brothers wrapped around each other, Shintaro breaking down completely and Ryutaro letting go of a few tears. Yabu smiled and moved onto his own love, enveloped in the warmth.
Ryutaro sniffled. "We can go home now, Shin-chan." Shintaro shook his head, holding tighter. Ryutaro looked down in concern. "Shintaro?"
"Nii-chan was so cold. Kowai." Ryutaro laughed, holding his brother - his boyfriend - close with a kiss. Shintaro giggled.
As if a light was showing above him, Ryutaro realized it. "You...you ran to me." In a quick second, he check over Shintaro's arms and squeezed his legs. Nothing - the bruises were gone.
He met Shintaro's eyes, looking at the younger's bright smile in his face. "My ankle doesn't hurt anymore."
