“Excuse me... What?!”
That was Ryou, he was currently on the phone, speaking with his father who was coming to Japan. Soon. Too soon.
It was the next morning after they had gone to visit Mariku, they were going to see him today as well and Ryou was of course happy to see him again but right now he was shocked. His father, who he loved dearly by the way, was coming to see him next week. He had of course heard everything about the resent events, well not everything but most of it and now he was worried about his son who had been hiding a madman in some unknown woman's apartment and was not going to school.
Ryou had called to his school but he had missed out so much school that he would fail most of his classes without tons of extra work, which he was willing to do once everything had cleared out. His father hadn't believed him when he had told him that and other reasons why he was fine and there was no reason to come and check on him but had the man listened? No, like every father he wanted to see that himself and of course he wanted to meet this new person who had become so important part of his son's life. The thing he didn't know, yet, was what kind of relationship they exactly had and that was what Ryou was worried about. He couldn't possibly hide something like that from his own father and was worried who would he react. Ryou was sure that he would probably accept his son loving another male but how ok would he with the said male being a mental patient? That was a good question indeed...
He ended his call and just stared in front of him, feeling slight panic creep up on him. Ishizu noticed his strange behavior and decided to ask what was wrong. Ryou didn't answer right away but then he turned to the woman, eyes a bit wide.
“My father is coming to Japan.”
“Is that bad?”
“He wants to meet Mariku.”
Ishizu's expression looked much like Ryou's now. “Oh that's bad... When is he coming?”
“Some time next week. What do we do?” Ryou asked, not being able to think of anything himself.
“How much does he know? I mean is he aware of my brother's mental condition? What about... you two?”
“He knows about the mental state but not about us...”
“Are you going to tell him?” Ishizu asked.
“I have to, he's my father after all, I just don't know how to do that...” Ryou looked down in thought and Ishizu too frowned. They stayed in silence for awhile, not having many suggestions.
'Hey dad, this is the mental patient I told you about. Oh, by the way he's also my lover.' Ryou didn't think that was a very good idea...
“I have nothing, sorry.” Ishizu finally said. “Maybe we should ask Mariku if he has any good ideas...” She glanced at Ryou who looked back and they both burst out laughing.
“He would probably suggest something like molesting me in front of my dad.” Ryou said after they stopped laughing and Ishizu nodded.
“Yeah.”
Ryou did suspect that that's how his father would end up finding out if he just didn't go right ahead and tell him once he got here. So he would just have to get his act together and tell him. How hard could that be?
“So, what kind of person is he?”
Ryou then was again reminded about what kind of relationship Mariku had had with his own father. “He's a good person, just busy with work and traveling a lot. He used to be home more when mother was still alive, always telling stories about his travels to Amane and me...”
“If he really is so wonderful as you say he shouldn't have a problem with us.” Mariku's voice was kind of cold and Ryou wondered if that was just prejudice towards all fathers speaking.
“I know but...” Ryou bit his lip. “What if he does?”
“So what? What does it matter what he thinks anyway?! He can go and judge me not worthy of you or bad influence or whatever for all I care! Why is this so big deal to you?”
Ryou was taken back by the sudden outburst and turned to look at the other, or tried his best to seeing that he was held firmly in place by the arms of the other. Mariku was looking to his side, slightly glaring at the bed they sat on.
“Mariku... I would just like to have his acceptance, that's all. It would mean so much to me, he's my only living blood relative.” Ryou told quietly to calm down the other. “He's very dear to me, please understand.”
Mariku sighed and ran his hand through his hair. “I just... Whatever, if it means so much to you.”
Ryou smiled at him as he looked at the smaller teen from the corner of his eye. “Thank you.”
Mariku's eyes softened just a bit at the sight and he lowered his head to lean on Ryou's shoulder. Ryou sighed contently and leaned back to him, closing his eyes.
“You know, I'm not even worried any more, there's no way he'll be able to not like you.” Ryou said quietly. “Once gets to know you.” He could hear the other chuckle softly at that.
“You forget that he's not you.”
Ryou laughed a bit. “Yeah, but he's related to me, that has to count for something.”
“Oh I don't know about that...”
The smaller male giggled as his neck was attacked with teasing nipples and licks. The door decided to open then and the older sister, who had left to talk to some other woman with a fancy suit, stepped in. With her came the woman with the suit and a folder.
“Sorry to interrupt you.” Ishizu said and the woman looked slightly bothered. “We have news for you.” She looked at the other woman, expecting her to say something.
“Ah yes... I'm Ms. Takashi from the mental institution's Kyoto branch.”
“I didn't know it had branches...” Ryou mumbled.
“Well it has. We, the owner of the part we have in Domino and I, decided that it would be better for him-” A nod towards Mariku. “-to be removed to the facility in Kyoto.” She finished.
They had the feeling that she should have be telling that to Mariku and not to the open air she seemed to be talking to.
“You mean they're going to move him?” Ryou asked slowly, not knowing how he should react yet.
“Yes...” She actually turned to look at Ryou. “The facility there has much more space, freedom and of course, security.” That sounded terribly like she had just said it from memory. “With his record it would be better for everybody and he would have a better chance for a change.”
“Don't I get a say in this?” Mariku asked, sounding annoyed.
“No. It's been decided for you, all we need now is your sister's name on some papers.”
Ryou felt Mariku tense up and took a hold of his hand. Who wouldn't hate to have things like that decided for them? The other relaxed a bit but kept sending dirty looks at the woman.
“When would he move?” Ryou asked.
“Next week. Your sister has told me about your... um, situation and with some arrangements it could be possible for you to move with him and live in the personnel's dormitories.”
“Would it?” Ryou looked down in thought, frowning a bit. Should he move to Kyoto? Mariku was going whether he liked it or not... Ryou glanced at Mariku, he wasn't looking too happy about the situation. He must have sensed Ryou's look because he turned his eyes to him, raising a brow at his glance turned stare. Ryou found himself getting lost in the purple depths and remembered just how much he loved this person. A gentle smile over took his face and he whispered. “I'll go with you...”
“Are you sure?” Mariku asked carefully. The women looked at them puzzled, not quite knowing what was going on.
Ryou nodded. “Yes, absolutely.” Then he turned to Ms. Takashi. “If he's going, I'm going too.”
“Good, it's settled then I believe. Ms. Ishtar?”
Ishizu's eyes bounced between Ryou and her brother before she nodded, smiling a bit. “Yes, it's settled.”
“If it isn't a regular family reunion in here.” Came a voice from the door and their jumped to see who it was.
“Mr. Akishima?” Ryou asked surprised at the sight of his ex-teacher.
“Jun? What are you doing here?” Ishizu asked from the man.
“I heard interesting... rumors... and wanted to see for myself.” He turned to see Ryou and Mariku. “Apparently they are true.”
Ms. Takashi crossed her arms and glared at him. “Why couldn't you come when I wasn't here?”
“Um, what's going on?” Ryou asked as his former teacher and Mariku seemed to have some kind of mental battle and the woman continued to glare.
“She's my sister-in-law.” Akishima just said, without turning his eyes away from Mariku. Ryou looked between the mind battle having males and squeezed the hand he was still holding a bit, gaining the attention of Mariku who glanced at him before leaning back against the wall, Ryou smiled just a bit and petted the hand. Akishima watched the wordless exchange with interest.
“...I guess that if you're leaving to Kyoto, you won't be attending our school anymore?” He asked from Ryou who nodded.
“I won't. No worries though, I'm not completely quiting school, I'll think of something.”
“Good.”
“If that's all you might as well leave old man.” Mariku joined in the conversation, voice not too friendly.
“I'm not that old and I came to see how you fare Ishtar. Better than back in the day I presume?” Akishima answered, voice lacking equal amount of friendliness.
“Much.” Came the short answer. Ryou was just happy they weren't on each other's throats, not physically anyway. He and Ishizu had some arrangements to do and Akishima tagged along, even if it was just to annoy his sister-in-law. They worked everything out regarding the Kyoto trip and then it was time to go home. Ryou had to inform his father that he was moving to Kyoto in short notice, so that he would know not to come visit him in Domino. The man wasn't too happy about that. Especially after he heard the reason for the sudden moving but didn't say anything against it, which Ryou was grateful of.
It wasn't easy for Ryou to leave all his friends and old life behind. He was thankful of their understanding of the situation and of the help they gave him with packing all his stuff. They had all been invited over to his place, for a farewell and so that they could help Ryou pack the last of his belongings.
After living in Ishizu's place for so long, it felt a bit weird to be back home again. They all packed and chatted about everything, Ryou of course was made to promise to invite all of them over once he had settled in his new home.
“Where do you want this?” Asked Yuugi.
“Put it over there.” Ryou pointed. “In the kitchen tools box.”
“Too bad we can't be neighbors anymore, huh?” Toshiro asked, smiling faintly.
“Yeah, but we can still keep in touch, right?”
“Of course!”
“Everyone! The moving truck arrived!” Ishizu called out from the door and everyone quickly packed the last of the stuff, beginning to carry them out side. After they got everything in the truck safely, Ryou insisted on hugging them all and making sure that he had the right phone numbers so that he could call everyone once he got there. Ishizu would drive him to Kyoto so that she could see her brother, who was there already, before going back to her normal life once again.
“Bye! I miss you all already!” Ryou called out to his friends and waved, they all waved back as the car gained distance. Ishizu was driving in front of the truck and as they drove on, the city of Domino slowly disappeared from view. The mood was a bit sad, naturally, but this was the only way for Ryou to be with the person he loved.
It turned out that the personnel's dormitories were attached to the mental hospital building so Ryou was living pretty close to Mariku, though he practically lived in his room, going only to sleep in his own and most of the time not even that. The place was so much nicer than the one in Domino, the patients could go out more than once a week and the back yard was way bigger than the small area in Domino. The rooms were bigger and less white, the food was better, the security was strict but pretty flexible anyway.
Ryou had been offered a part time job in the place and he had gladly excepted. He was also trying to get in to a music school, after having rediscovered his love for music. He liked his job and despite his a bit shy personality, he liked working with people to help them.
The dreaded visit from his father was coming, he had told that he would be in Japan today afternoon, take a taxi from the airport and would be joining his son later that day. Ryou was pacing back and fort in Mariku's room, mumbling to himself. Mariku watched him pace for a while longer before it started to get on his nerves.
“Would you stop that?” He snapped, making Ryou jump out of his thoughts.
“Sorry... I'm just feeling a bit on edge...” Ryou fiddled with his fingers and looked down on them. Mariku sighed.
“Come sit here with me.” He patted the place next to him on the bed. Ryou sat near the edge. “No, sit properly.” Mariku pulled him closer to him. “There.” He started to rub small patterns on Ryou's neck, making him lean on to the touch and close his eyes.
“Please don't screw this up.” Ryou plead, moving his head so that the other would have easier access.
“I won't, don't worry, he'll mistake me for a sane person.”
“Mmmh... I'm sure.”
“What? So you automatically think that I mess up by going all crazy on him?” Mariku asked, stopping his ministrations.
“Of course not. I believe you can behave if you want to but do keep doing what you did before.”
Mariku chuckled. “Do I hear the magic word?”
“Please?”
“That's the one.”
“Please Mariku...” Ryou put a bit effort in his plea.
“O-Ok...” The fingers started moving again.
The situation was pretty relaxed and calm for Ryou, making him forget his worry but only until there was a knock on the door. The two snapped out of it and Ryou made his way towards the door, Mariku in tow. He hesitated a while before opening, glancing back at the other. Then he twisted the door open, revealing a man with blueish hair and a bit ruffled up clothes. The three just stared at each other for a good while before Ryou realized that he should step aside and let his father in.
“Hi dad, I'm glad you came, missed you so much.” Ryou hugged his father who hugged back with a smile.
“I missed you too son.” Then the man turned his eyes on the tanned male in the room. “Hello, you must be Mariku.”

“It's going to be hard, I have no idea what to do...” Ryou was seated comfortably on Mariku's lap and was leaning his back against the other's chest, tanned arms circling his waist. He had just told about his father coming to see them. The other stayed silent for a while before speaking up.“So, what kind of person is he?”
Ryou then was again reminded about what kind of relationship Mariku had had with his own father. “He's a good person, just busy with work and traveling a lot. He used to be home more when mother was still alive, always telling stories about his travels to Amane and me...”
