Chapter 17: Shadow
“Hey, Ma-chan!” Nino called the taller man a few days later.
“Hai!” Aiba turned to him curiously.
“Here…” Nino said handing an envelope to him.
“What is it?” the other asked frowning but took it hesitantly.
Nino rolled his eyes.
“Your payment, of course” he huffed but averted his eyes from the pregnant boy.
“Eeeh?” Aiba’s eyes widened in shock. “But you don’t have to…” he said and wanted to hand back the envelope to Nino but he refused to take it back.
“You’re working here which means you should get a payment as well. So just take it and shut up!” Nino grumbled.
Aiba felt tears gathering in his eyes.
“Arigatou, Nino!” he said beaming at him gratefully with teary eyes; he wanted to hug the shorter guy as well but with his growing tummy it would’ve been difficult…
“Oh, and here this is too…” Nino said and gave a piece of folded paper to Aiba.
“And what is this?” he asked back.
“A friend of mine is going to America for quite a long time because of some business but he doesn’t want to sell his place, neither wants to leave it empty and unguarded. So I asked him and he agreed to let you live there if you keep everything in order for him… But…” Nino bit his lower lip uncertain.
“But what?” Aiba asked impatiently, almost snapping at the shorter guy.
“But his house is in Fukuoka…” the shorter guy finished.
“Oh…” Aiba lowered his head disappointed.
It sounded too nice to be true after all… There was no way to Sho leave here the assembly shop cause having to find a new job would be just one more trouble what they don’t need and he can’t leave it here anyway after how much he worked for it… And Aiba wouldn’t want to leave Nino and Ohno either and the couple just as Sho couldn’t close down their café just to go with them and keep company to Aiba not to feel lonely…
“Anyway… just take it to aniki if you’d want to contact my friend…” Nino said finishing.
“Okay…” Aiba nodded then taking the paper he headed out of the café…
Aiba pushed opened the assembly shop’s door and looked around for Sho; the piece of paper what he got from Nino still in his hand.
“Sho-chan!” he called walking in. “Sho…”
“He’s not here…” a way too familiar voice answered him and soon Jun appeared from behind one of the boats. “Your beloved Sho-chan…” he finished disgusted as he said the ex-gang-member’s name.
Aiba took a few steps back and unconsciously put a hand protectively on his bulging tummy.
“What are you doing here, Matsumoto? Where’s Sho? What did you do to him?” the pregnant boy asked trying not to panic though he was really scared and impatient in the same time.
Jun simply ignored his questions and eyeing him from head to toe walked closer to him.
“So it’s true, you are pregnant…” he said. “Wow! You’re a real freak…” he added with a mocking smirk.
Aiba flushed and lowered his head in fear. He didn’t know, what should he tell at this? Was he really a freak just because he had Sho’s child…?
“What do you want from me, Matsumoto?” he asked weakly.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Jun asked back walking closer. “Of course I want my revenge, pretty boy… You, your father and your precious friends made a fool of me. You can’t believe that I accept it without a word… Oh, no… But lucky me, it’s only you on my list anymore…”
“Me?” Aiba looked up with fear in his soft brown eyes.
“Yeah… You want to know what happened after you left Tokyo?” he asked though he didn’t wait for an answer from Aiba. “I had to do nothing with your father cause he made this job in my place. He was too greedy and immediately made public your pregnancy’s story but most of his partners don’t believe it with out a proper proof. Without seeing you… One down… And of course you know that all your friends depend on me already… So it’s just you who was left behind…” Jun said approaching Aiba who tried to back away from him to the door.
“Wha…what do you want to do…?” Aiba asked on a shaking voice and risked a glance toward the door which turned out to be a big mistake.
Jun took advantage on this immediately that his attention turned away from him and quickly closing the distance between them grabbed the boy’s arm roughly.
“I though about taking you back… Or just blowing off your hiding place… Letting the media or your father’s company took you pieces… Turn you into a guinea pig for the sake of science… What do you think? Do you like the idea of it…?” Jun asked shaking the boy roughly.
“I think it’s a very shitty idea of yours…”
The next minute Sho separated the ex-couple and a hard punch landed in Jun’s stomach right after causing him to collapse on the ground groaning in pain. Sho left him there without sparing another look on him and gathered the trembling Aiba in his arms who lost his balance when Sho yanked Jun away from him and fell on his knees.
“I never guessed you were this dumb, Matsumoto” Sho said glaring at the stylish man while rocked Aiba in his arms comfortingly. “Do I have to tell you once again? Don’t dare to lay a finger on Masaki ever again or I swear I’ll kill you!” he promised to him. “Now get out of here!” he shouted foaming with rage.
Jun cursed in pain as he slowly got up from the shop’s dirty floor.
“Don’t think you’re so smart, Sakurai… This game is only ends when I say so…” Jun said.
“I wanna see you try that…” Sho mocked. “What are you planning? Running to daddy and ask his help?...” Sho’s face stiffened. “Now don’t make me say it once again… Get the hell out of here!” Sho shouted at him once more.
Aiba shook and hiccupped in Sho’s arms as he raised his voice against Jun.
“You’ll regret it, Sakurai… You all will regret it!” Jun threatened before dragged himself out…
“Baby, are you okay? Did that bastard hurt you?” Sho asked as soon as the door was (shut) closed behind Aiba’s ex-husband.
“I’m… I’m… okay… Sho-chan, just…” Aiba hiccupped and no matter how much he tried he couldn’t stop his tears flowing down on his cheeks.
Sho wiped away his tears with his thumbs then wrapped Aiba in his arms again.
“Sssh… It’s okay, baby, it’s okay now… I’m here… He can’t come close to you ever again…” Sho mumbled reassuring to the boy but it still took long minutes till he could calm him down.
“What are you doing here anyway?” Sho asked while he walked Aiba back into their small apartment. “I thought youwanted to stay with Kazu and Ohno-kun for today…”
“Oh, that…” Aiba remembered now why he came to the assembly shop. “Nino said he has a friend who is willing to let us live in his place while he works in America or something like this…” the younger boy said. “He gave me his contacts thought… that house is… in Fukuoka…” Aiba said while searched his pockets for that note. “It’s gone…” he mumbled after a while when he didn’t seem to find it.
“What?” Sho asked frowning slightly.
“The paper what Nino gave… with that guy’s address and phone number… It’s gone…” Aiba frowning a bit and was thinking hardly. “Oh! I might have dropped it in the shop!...” he cried out and tried to get up to go back to the shop and find it but Sho held him back.
“Wait, wait! It’s not even that important that you have to run and find it… Just stay here and rest instead…. I go and look for it for you” the older man said and put the cup of tea in Aiba’s hand what the younger boy didn’t touch yet. “Okay?”
Aiba nodded obediently cause he didn’t want to start a fight over something stupid like this. Even when he didn’t feel that weak or anything…
“That’s my good boy…” Sho cooed and bent down to kiss Aiba’s forehead lightly before left…
Sho came back half an hour later or so. Empty handed.
“Sorry, Masaki, but found nothing…” he said as he sat down next to his lover.
“Oh…” Aiba said and seemed somehow disappointed.
“Hey! Don’t be so down!” Sho tried to cheer up the boy. “I just ask Nino for those contacts again…” he said putting an arm around his lover’s shoulder.
Aiba nodded uncertain.
“Or…” he started.
“Or?” Sho asked curious.
“Or maybe you shouldn’t… Maybe it’s fate; it’s a sign to us to not take this…” Aiba said and turned his innocent puppy-eyes to the older man.
“You think so?” Sho mused aloud and the pregnant boy nodded next to him. “Hmmm… You’re right probably… And anyway… I hate Fukuoka…” he said grinning at Aiba who laughed at this cheerfully…
Jun sat in his car and starred at the slightly crumpled piece of paper in his hand before tucked it into his coat’s pocket.
“It’s not over yet…” he mumbled and started the car…
