Hello, my name is Takaki Yuya.
I'm a former detective, but for over a year now I've helped run a flower shop with my husband, Kouta. Yes, I know, it's not a legal thing, but we gave each other vows and that's good enough for me. There's also a few more additions to the family. There's Cho-co, my chihuahua. Kouta says he'll kill 'the rat' one of these days, but I saw him playing tug of war. I don't worry about it. More importantly, three years ago, we adopted a little girl. Her name is Hitomi and she's our little princess. About a year ago, we adopted again, giving Hitomi a little brother. Kouta was just the sweetest thing...He offered to call him 'Ryouhei'. I told him no, and now Akito runs around the house like a little rascal. We love them both to pieces!
It's been five years since Ryouhei's death.
(Just saying that makes me feel old.)
I miss Ryouhei. A lot. But it's not painful, not anymore. Kouta, you know? He's the best. He helped me mourn, stand back up, and move on with my life. He's my saint on those days when Hitomi-chan and Aki-chan are being monsters. He loves me and I love him.
I asked him once about my last case and Ryouhei. I asked if he'd ever doubted me. He simply looked at me, dead serious, and said that no matter what I ever did, he'd always love me and be proud of me.
Of course...then I had to ask what he'd do if I murdered someone. He just told me that Cho-co was starting to get a little slow.
“Oi! That doesn't make me look good!” Yuya's typing was interrupted by Kouta, hugging him from behind. “How could you possibly imply that I'd hurt a....cute....little....dog.”
Yuya laughed and gave up on typing, leaning back against the larger man. “You know, you almost had me convinced until you tried calling him 'cute'.” He teased up at the other. Kouta didn't answer, just smiled and dropped a kiss on the Yuya's lips.
“You know...” Kouta murmured, pulling Yuya to his feet. Laughing, Yuya tucked himself against the other and danced with him for a moment, swaying. “...The kids are with Yukie tonight.” Kouta finally finished after a few moments of comfortable silence. “You know....the place aaaaaall to ourselves.”
“Koooou!” Yuya swatted at the other's head but Kouta was already picking him up, carrying back to the bed room to toss him onto the bed. Yuya tumbled, laughing. He let Kouta have his way. Let Kouta love him the way he wanted to...the way they both loved each other.
He was happy. And that's all anyone should truly want.
