Sugar Rush 28

 

The sight of the small life growing inside of D would never cease to amaze Leon. He stared at the screen as Lord D passed the monitor over D's tummy and felt a hitch in his heart beat. He had been back on the force for a week now, but the chief insisted on assigning him minor cases. He seemed to sense that something was going on at the shop and wanted no part of disrupting the peace.

Leon was glad that Lord D lived with them and so was able to schedule D's appointments around Leon's changeable work hours. After a hard day of monotony, looking at their child was a special treat. Leon kissed D's forehead and smiled at him hoping to cheer him. Sometimes he would grow afraid and Leon would hold him close and tell him that everything would be all right, even though his own heart trembled in fear.

“Well child, you have entered your second trimester,” Lord D said with a smile he hoped was confident. “Your weight will begin to increase. I have sent a box of garments to your room; they should fit and expand as you do.” Lord D patted the slightly rounded tummy under his hand and could not suppress a grin. D saw his father's happiness and returned the grin; if even his father had no fear… then maybe he and the child he carried would be all right. Leon kissed D's lips, then leaned over and kissed his stomach.

As Lord D scheduled the next appointment Leon frowned, “that's only two weeks.”

“Yes,” Lord D said and wiped his hands dry. “As they progress, the checkups will be more frequent.” Leon nodded and helped D dress. “What is wrong child? You have an odd look on your face.”

“Do we have any of grandfather's fresh grown pineapple?” D asked and licked his lips at the very mention of the succulent fruit.

“Ah… Not in the shop no,” Lord D said and noted the pout to D's lower lip. “He has some in his original garden I am sure.” Lord D said and sighed as D's lip began to tremble. “It is in China child, by the time I brought it back… I'd have to go to Arcadia to…” Lord D sighed in defeat and opened his room door.

JJ noted the cloak that Lord D wore and gave him a puzzled look. “Where…?”

“China, don't ask, and if my son pouts at you run, he's impossible to say no to.” Lord D scowled and left the shop. Lord D waited until the door was safely shut behind him, before he smiled.

Several hours later Lord D lay sleepily in JJ's arms while several doors down the hall, D happily licked pineapple juice from his slender fingers. “I am not even going to ask,” JJ said as he licked his way down Lord D's spine, “How you managed,” JJ swirled his tongue around the base of Lord D's spine and enjoyed his shiver. “To go to China, pick a basket of fruit,” Lord D cried out as JJ went lower still with his tongue. “And come back in about three hour's time.”

“Good,” Lord D panted and gripped the bed sheets. “Because I would really rather not explain it right now.”

“Oh?” JJ questioned with a brow raised in mock amazement. He trailed his tongue slowly and inserted a finger. Lord D closed his eyes and buried his face in the pillow. JJ crawled over Lord D and slid his fingers further inside. JJ moved Lord D's hair aside and licked the delicate neck. JJ was about to taunt Lord D more when he gasped.

“What! Now?!” Lord D scrambled away from JJ and pulled on a robe.

“What?” JJ asked and tried to calm his breathing and his libido. Lord D ran from the room. He arrived at Leon and D's room just as Leon was opening the door to run for him.

“What the hell was in that pineapple?” Leon asked. Lord D looked into the room the see his son writhing in pain on the bed.

“It was not the fruit, but I did not expect this further accommodation until tomorrow, or I would have been here waiting.” Lord D gathered D close and massaged his tummy. “Relax and breathe deeply and it will get better.” Lord D instructed D.

“What's going on, and why didn't you warn me?” D panted as Leon wiped his sweat dampened brow.

“I did not want to frighten you.” Lord D said D began to breathe deeply and was surprised that the pain did indeed get better. “You are expanding again, this is the last time your body will have to make room for the child, after tonight, you will begin to grow horizontally in leaps and bound…no… relax, breathe.” Lord D coaxed. “This is great practice for when you have your contractions.” Lord D said calmly. Leon was amazed at how calm Lord D was. D seemed to breathe easier and soon Lord D sighed and smiled. “You have done well,” Lord D said he left their room nearing one thirty to find JJ asleep in his bed.

Lord D sighed and crawled into bed beside him. “Mmmm…you're back…you smell good.” JJ said and nuzzled Lord D's neck before he drifted back to sleep. Lord D smiled and vowed to make it all up to JJ at sunrise.

It was not the sun shining on his face that awoke him. No. It was neither the soft sound of music playing in the background that woke him nor the smell of something sweet that lightly scented the air. What woke him were the soft, wet movements on his penis. He looked down to see Lord D's head moving over him. JJ gasped and moaned. “You are awake, I tried to wait, but you looked so delicious.” JJ felt something cold trickle and he squelched a yelp of surprise. He looked down in awe as Lord D poured a clear syrupy mixture on him and then lapped it up.

“I retrieved a few treats for myself from the garden.” Lord D said he crawled up to JJ and trailed a finger over his lips.

“What is this?” JJ asked and captured one of the perfectly manicured digits and sucked it into his mouth. Lord D extracted his finger and replaced it with his tongue. JJ raised his head for more when Lord D pulled back.

“My favorite, white plum juice boiled with honey.” Lord D pushed JJ to his back and climbed on top. As he lowered himself he closed his eyes in bliss. JJ grasped Lord D's hips and moved further inside of him. Lord D was not sure of himself, he had never been so bold in lovemaking, but, he cold not help but want more. JJ smiled and encouraged him. Lord D bit his lip and moved against JJ and greeted the day with a shout of pleasure.

D opened his eyes and sighed; he could smell his father cooking something in the kitchen. He left Leon sleeping in the bed and went to investigate. “Good morning child, come sit.” Lord D indicated a chair and began to pile food on a plate for D.

“Morning, it's nearly noon, I am glad Leon does not have to work until 5 today, I kept him up late last night with my stomach cramps.” D said sheepishly. “He says you were already on your way to our room?”

“Yes, even though I no longer have paternal rights, I can feel when you are in distress.” Lord D blushed as he thought of the inopportune moment his grand child had chosen to make himself more comfortable. D looked delighted at the fried fruits on top of clear sweet noodles. He covered a piece of bread with fresh made sweet bean paste and smiled delightedly at his father. Lord D was lost in thought and missed the smile.

“Is something wrong father?” D asked puzzled by his father burning toast.

“What… Oh no,” Lord D said and moved the toast away from the fire. “I've never done that before.”

“Then it is safe to say you have never been in…” D gasped and stuffed his mouth with mango.

“No you are right.” Lord D said softly. “D-San's mother was beautiful, but it was an arranged marriage. My father thought we would suit. She did give me a beautiful child, and she was very graceful. I loved her, but I can not say that I was in love with her. I know I was in love with Hama- why else would I put up with... all I went through with him. But I did not feel half as much as I feel now.”

D smiled sadly at his father and swallowed, “Father.” He said, “There has been something I have been meaning to ask you, but I feared I never had the right… I mean... I am the... what I mean is… what kind of wife did Hama have?”

“Oh child,” Lord D said and sat beside D and took his hand. “You want to know about your mother.” Lord D looked deep into D's eyes and smiled gently at him. “All this time and all you know of her is that she dishonored her husband and bore you, and that she wore exquisite jewelry.” Lord D said bringing a smile to D's face. Lord D inhaled and thought for a moment. “Hikari was very soft. I know that is hardly a description, but sometimes when I look at you I can see some of her mannerism. She was very gentle and understanding. We comforted each other in times of Hamanosuke's rage. It is odd I suppose. In most households like ours, the wife and the lover seldom got along, but sometimes a gentle touch was craved.”

“She had a wonderful sense of humor and tended a lovely garden, for a human.” Lord D said and smiled, he thought further back to the time when he had discovered the reason for Hama-s days spent with him in the beginning, Hikari had been beaten, and it was after that, he had begun to be beaten as well. Hama- would travel from bed to fist. Who ever was bruised, would be left alone for a while, and then returned to after a while.

“Father,” D said worried as a tear slipped from his father's eye.

She was wonderful…” Lord D said.

“Shh,” Leon said to JJ who had begun to walk into the kitchen to kiss Lord D good bye. Leon nodded his head at the scene before them and smiled. “”They've got centuries of catching up to do.” Leon whispered and went off to find Chris and play video games until he needed to go to work.

Leon practically crawled into bed and fell instantly asleep. D sat up and looked down at him before he grinned. The chief had begun to send him on challenging cases again. He brushed his hand against Leon's shoulder length hair and undid the ponytail. Leon opened his eyes and looked up at D. Leon pulled D underneath him and felt the rounding of his stomach. “Tell me if I hurt you.” Leon said and began to make love to D with all the passion he had in his heart.

“Do you try to be disgusting, or is just a habit that you are finding too hard to break?” Ryo shouted at Dee before he stormed into the house and slammed their bed room door. Dee heard the lock click and sighed.

“Dammit Ryo!” Dee yelled and slammed his fist against the door. “Open up and talk to me. Are you trying to be childish, or is it just a habit that is too hard for you to break.” Dee grinned when the door opened and Ryo stood there glaring at him. “Ready to…” Dee began but was shocked when Ryo handed him a pillow and his pajamas. Ryo slammed the door again and stomped to the bed and was determined to get some sleep and not wonder where Dee was.

“I'm coming, damn, between D's cravings and late night visitors; will I ever get some sleep?” Leon mumbled and opened the pet shop door. “Dee, what the hell do you want at this hour?”

“I need to borrow the spare room, Ryo kicked me out.” Dee grumbled and shuffled inside.

“You're lucky, in a few weeks it won't be the spare room. We're giving that room to Chris and because his room is closer to ours, we're turning his room into a nursery…. Wait, Ryo threw you out, what did you do?”

“Naturally you assume I did something.” Dee said belligerently.

“Ummm, this is delicious; naturally it's your fault. Ryo is not the type to throw a fit over nothing.” Dee looked up at Little D who was munching on watermelon and kiwi balls dipped in honey.

“Dear Lord.” Dee said as his eyes lighted on D's tummy. “Did that sprout over night?” D giggled and placed his hand on the small mound. “I've only not seen you in a week and you're… well expanded, it's not that big, but... wow, wait till Ryo sees you.” At the mention of Ryo Dee sank to the couch and his shoulders slumped.

“Well, since we are up, why don't you tell us about it?” D said softly and sat beside Dee.

“All I did was give Bikky some advice.” Dee grumbled and sniffed D's bowl of fruit appreciatively. D pouted and stepped behind Leon protecting his snack. “Bikky has all these little girls wanting to go out with him, but he is all hung up on Carol. Doesn't want to ruin it with who he thinks might be his future missus. All I did was tell him that he could have all the fun he wanted now that they were young. When the time came for them to settle down, he would have sowed all his oats and Carol would forgive, if not then,” Dee shrugged. “He could find someone else.”

D said nothing, but Dee winced when a tiny slipper bounced off his head. Leon was afraid to speak. D was a precarious individual lately, and he still had one slipper left. If he said the wrong thing now, he could be joining Dee and sleeping alone tonight. “You probably should have consulted Ryo before you gave the advice, especially about such a topic.” Leon said, he breathed in relief when D nodded his agreement.

“He looked disappointed in me; right before he slammed the door in my face…he can throw such hissy fits.” Dee grumbled and for a moment, D felt bad for him. D held his bowl over to Dee who gratefully plopped one of the too sweet fruits in his mouth. He made a face, but refused to spit it out and insult D.

“The honey came from Arcadia and has some of the Queen's Maisia nectar in it.” D said with a happy smile and continued to eat. Leon remembered the horribly sweet concoction from New Year's Eve and suppressed a rising of bile in his throat. “You can have the room for tonight, but think of a way to apologize to Ryo, you need each other…” D said and yawned widely. Leon smiled and followed D to their bedroom, pausing on the way to check in on Chris who slept soundly with Pon-Chan curled at the foot of his bed. T-Chan looked up from under the bed and grinned at D before he went back to sleep.

“Man Diana, Jill, you should see D, when he has all his clothes on, you can't really tell, but when he is in pajamas, his little tummy pokes out a bit.” Dee said, he was smiling when Ryo walked in the office. Dee's smile faded and he looked as if he had not slept all night. Ryo looked the same and he turned his nose up at Dee and sat at his desk and opened his case files. “Ryo, I'm… I mean, can I talk to you?”

Jill and Diana looked at Leon for a clue before they followed him to the break room for a quick snack. Ryo sat at his desk. “I tried to do damage control before I sent Bikky to school this morning.” Ryo sipped his coffee and glared at Dee. “How could you tell him something so irresponsible?”

“I did not think he would take me seriously, he also second guesses me and asks you anyway.” Dee said in his own defense Dee sighed, “Look, baby, I don't like being away from you. Even if it is only for a night, I need you, I missed you.”

“Dee I… I don't like sleeping alone either, I was angry, but if we want to set a good example…,” Ryo sighed. “ I should have talked to you last night.”

“Forget about examples, Bikky is a great kid, you are doing a fine job raising him. So the local PTA can't handle our family, to hell with them.” Dee muttered, remembering the last meeting, where despite the principal's influence, the other parents had been cold to them. “You are not confusing Bikky with your sexuality, the kid knows who he is and what he is attracted to.”

“I thought the same thing, till I met you.” Ryo said, “I fought for so long the attraction I had, I nearly drove myself insane with the conflicting emotions of loving you and fearing that love. I don't want Bikky to ever go through that.”

“So what, are you going to give him up, or me?” Dee asked worried by the anguish on Ryo's face.

“I won't be bullied by those ignorants into losing either of you.” Ryo said determinedly and walked over to Dee. Dee stood and took Ryo into is arms. Ryo raised his face and accepted the kiss he had spent the night longing for.

“You could at least shut the door,” Ryo backed away and looked at Randolph standing in the doorway with his arms crossed. “I just stopped by because I have a question about the Count.” Randolph said when Dee said nothing and sat back at his desk. “How long has he been diabetic? The lab identified the water in the bottle he had. It was filled with sugar that was the powder that the older Count had.”

“Diabetic?” Ryo said, he could see how someone would make that conclusion, if D's sugar were too low, the water would have helped. “Why do you care, Leon would just love to seriously hurt you man, you should just forget about the Count, it would be your best… What the hell are you doing here little D.” Ryo said as Count D walked into their office. Ryo looked closer at D to make sure that it was him and not his father. With his hair pulled back into a pony tail his eye color was unmistakable.

“Leon has not returned for lunch, so I packed him one and brought it along.” D said Ryo looked closely at the loose clothes the Count wore and was surprised that his figure was indiscernible.

Dee took the large basket from D and frowned. “You packed enough to feed a football team; you didn't carry this by yourself did you?” D blushed and sat in the chair that Dee held for him. Dee's eyes widened as his clothing settled about him and his stomach was momentarily visible before it vanished under yards of cloth. Dee looked up at the door to see that Randolph had left. “I'll go get Leon, we'll talk some more later,” Dee said to Ryo before he left the office.

“Are you all right detective?” Dee asked and he opened the basket to pull out a muffin and began to eat it.

“I should have known that he would go to the shop.” Ryo said with a small chuckle. Ryo noted the serenity that seemed to emanate from D as he consumed his second muffin. “I am fine little D, we're working out everything, I'll take the big idiot home today.” Ryo grinned as they heard Leon and the others coming down the hall. By the time they made it in the office, D was on his third muffin. D smiled beautifully at Leon and handed him a plate. Leon smiled, he loved these random visits by the count, but he would have to tell not to come anymore, in his condition, it was no longer safe, especially with Randolph sniffing around asking questions about his health.

“You look exhausted, let me take you home,” Leon said to D who sat nodding off in the office. D looked up and smiled tiredly. “Don't worry about the basket; I'll bring it home tonight and clean the dishes in it.” Leon assured D and pulled him to is feet and out to his car. Leon grew worried at the lap strap of the seatbelt. D did not seem uncomfortable, so Leon said nothing and took him home.

The shop was buzzing with activity as Randolph had left the station and headed directly over to the pet shop intent on catching Lord D alone and questioning him about D's health. He had heard from JJ that Lord D was a doctor and so he figured if he had moved to town, it was to take care of his brother. Randolph refused to believe that Count D was this young man's son. Randolph studied Lord D's manner when he spoke of the Count. A small creature the like of which Randolph had never seen sat perched on Lord D's shoulder. Leon opened the door and frowned at Randolph. “What the hell are you doing here?” Leon grumbled and held a chair for D to sit.

“No, Leon, he's to bed.” Lord D said absently not bothering to look up from his tea, but sensing his son's tiredness. Q-Chan chirped and abandoned Lord D to follow Leon and D to the bedroom. When Leon returned to the sitting room it was to see Lord D pointedly ignoring Randolph and looking through the mail on the table. “This arrived for you and D, it is from Arcadia, a thank you note from the King and Queen and a letter from the Princess. I received on as well; I think all involved received one.”

Leon smiled as he tried to read the scrawl that the high princess tried to pass off as writing. “D will have to translate this, I don't read Arcadian.” Leon grumbled.

Lord D chuckled, “It's written in English,” he said and again studied his tea. “Writing neatly has never been her strong point.”

“Stop ignoring me and answer the questions I have,” Randolph demanded angrily.

“I answered the last question, my son is not diseased, and you have not asked any other questions since then.” Lord D said with a typical smirk. Leon thought the smirk was designed to make the average human want to kill. Randolph counted to ten before he inhaled deeply and exhaled.

“Why do you insist that he is your son when you are clearly about the same age?” Randolph demanded.

“What has that to do with Mr. Rhynes and his komodo dragon?” Lord D said with his same smirk. Leon grinned before he left the shop to head back to the Pd. Leon knew that by the time Randolph finished questioning Lord D , he would be pulling his own hair out.

The pet shop door opened late in the afternoon. Randolph had left angry as the questions that Lord D deigned to answer only left him with more questions and a need to know as much about the strange family that had entrenched in this pet shop. Randolph knew the communication from the Arcadian court was somehow involved in the strangeness, but he could not put his finger on exactly how. Lord D looked up and smiled at the tall blond man and the shorter raven tressed man standing slightly behind him.

“Kagetsuya, Chihaya, how lovely to see you again, you are well I trust.” Lord D said and stood to welcome them inside.

“Yes, Lord D, and you as well?” Kagetsuya said, Lord D nodded and indicated that the two angels should sit. “ Well, we are here today because, well, the day we ran into you, we were coming here to buy Chihaya a puppy or something soft and cuddly,” Kagetsuya tried to keep a sneer out of his voice, but smiled indulgently at Chihaya who widened his enormous deep purple eyes and pouted. “Not really looking for a contract, just a pet.”

“Ah, yes, I have a new litter just weaned from their mom last week. I think there are four more left that you can choose from.” Lord D said to Chihaya who smiled bright and cheerful and followed the count to a fenced off area in the front of the shop. The four pups bounded around and played with one another cheerfully.

“How can I choose just one? Would he not be lonely without his brothers and sisters?” Chihaya said solemnly as he looked over the pups. Kagetsuya had a bad feeling about this…

 

Break for now…
