________________________________

It is a peaceful winter evening in Yagami’s apartment. However, one brunette comfortably sitting on the couch cannot find peace of mind.
When Kyo holds a warm cup of hot cocoa, he lowers his gaze and silently exhales.
It’s been more than a couple of hours since Iori promised to return. Knowing him, he would call and warn if he may take longer.
Of course, Kyo tried to call him an hour earlier. Unfortunately, his partner didn’t answer.
At first, he thought perhaps Iori was busy or on his way. Therefore, he didn’t bother to call back. However, even later on, he received the same response.
No matter how often the Kusanagi checked his phone - there was no new message or notification about a missed call.
But for now, Kyo turns his head to the side and says to himself in a gloomy tone. “Just where in the world are you, Yagami? It’s better to be nothing serious. Or else, what do you expect me to do with you?”
Meanwhile, when the tuxedo kitten notices how one of his dads is unusually upset, he lowers his triangle ears and wonders if these two fought again or if his other dad hurt him.
Therefore, little Oreo decides to cheer him up in the best way he knows. And thus, he jumps on the couch while letting out a brief trill.
After he approaches Kyo, he rubs his head and his body against his leg while his tail is lifted, trying to get his attention.
For sure, such an unexpected gesture surprises the Kusanagi.
When the brunette leans forward, he puts the mug on the coffee table and sits back.
As he strokes the kitten’s head and under his chin, Kyo softens his gaze and sighs. “Did you miss your dad as well? Let’s hope that he is fine and only decided to get something for you.”
After Oreo lies next to him and closes his eyes, and his beloved hand strokes his soft fur, his little motor engine activates.
However, his kitten’s presence and purring makes him lower his shoulders and feel how his heart aches.
In the end, he cannot help himself but irrationally worry about his partner without even knowing his whereabouts.
Several minutes have passed.
Suddenly, Oreo lifts his head and ears upon hearing something.
“What is it, Oreo? Is your dad already home?” Kyo asks as he gets up and heads toward the corridor.
After rushing to his destination place, he notices that there is no one inside.
However, a faint banging on the door and the sound of the lock moving caught the brunette's attention.
Soon, the mysterious culprit opens the door.
Fortunately, Kyo’s reaction is quicker, and he catches the redhead in his arms without both collapsing on the floor.
“Oi, you’re okay?” The brunette asks him while closing the door.
When Iori places his hand on his partner’s shoulder, he withdraws his lowered head and faces him while surpassing his groaning.
Suddenly, Kyo widens his eyes and becomes pale upon noticing Iori covered in blood. After a closer inspection, he scolds him without containing his emotions. “What happened to you? Who the hell did this to you?!”
While Iori’s face twists in pain and panting, he backfires. “I just tripped over and fell downstairs! That’s what fucking happened… So, move, and let me catch a break.”
After hearing these words, the brunette’s face darkens. “Fell downstairs, eh? Are you sure about that?”
“Tsk. Do not test my patience, Kyo.” The redhead warns through gritted teeth.
Unfortunately, his attempt to stand up on his own fails.
Thus, the sudden pain on Yagami's side makes him hold his palm into the aching spot, and he loses his balance.
After the brunette throws Iori’s arm over his shoulders, he closes his eyes and sighs. “Let’s go… Let’s get you warm and see your wounds.”
Lastly, he helps Yagami to walk to the bedroom while wondering who could have done this to him.
However, on their way, one person comes to his mind. Although, even if his guess might be wrong, it doesn’t matter. Right now, prioritizing his partner’s well-being is more important. Or so Kyo decides.
After he lies Iori in bed, he assists him with removing his outfit and spots that the redhead’s clothes are tattered and have holes with crispy burnt edges.
While silently exhaling, the brunette wonders how much Yagami suffered to become so passive and willingly accept any treatment from him.
“What’s wrong? If you dislike it so much, you can leave me alone. As if I need your pity.” The redhead comments as he observes his partner’s every movement.
When Kyo grasps the hemline of Iori’s t-shirt, he lowers his shoulders and head. As he cracks a fake smile, he replies in a cold yet calm tone. “You’re right… I guess it’s better to leave it in professionals’ hands.”
After he sits on the edge of the bed, he picks up his phone from his pocket.
However, as Kyo types a specific phone number, Yagami shakily sits up and gathers all his remaining strength into his palm.
Suddenly, the Kusanagi freezes in the same spot when the phone is hit out of his hand.
As soon as it lands on the ground, Kyo turns his head and stares at Iori.
Lastly, the redhead addresses him. “Don’t. I’m not that weak or ill.”
Meanwhile, Kyo remains speechless for a few moments.
Finally, the redhead breaks the intense silence. “Besides, who will feed Oreo if I’m gone?”
That’s it! It’s the last drop of the Kusanagi’s patience, and he lowers his head.
Suddenly, he roughly grabs Iori by his shirt and brings him closer. “Is that the only thing that concerns you?!”
A second later, he hung his head down while something stuck inside his throat.
Meanwhile, Yagami only narrows his gaze as he observes the trembling and stiff brunette.
“... You’re truly an idiot.” Kyo comments.
After he bites into his lower lip, he continues while holding back from sobbing. “You may have died and I wouldn’t even know that. What am I supposed to do then? Shrug my shoulders and say I had no clue that you died? Hey, you think no one would notice or care? But you’re so fucking wrong! How… how many times I’ve told that you’re not alone? It’s… it’s okay if you’re too stubborn and prideful to rely on anyone and I’m not forcing you to do so. … I never did or will do that.”
In the end, Kyo lowers his hands and buries his face in his partner’s chest. “But at least, … Please let me help you. That’s all I ask for.”
However, he widens his eyes when he feels how Iori’s palm rests on his head.
As Yagami closes his eyes, he sighs. After he opens his eyes, he gently ruffles his hair. “Who’s calling whom a fool? As if that will happen anytime soon. After all, who else will take care of Oreo and one stupid, nosy trouble-maker who worries too much? Listen. If I die, I’ll take you together with me into my grave. So, even after my death, you will still belong to me, Kyo.”
After hearing this confession, Kyo carefully wraps his arms around his partner and nuzzles his cheek against his chest while murmuring something gibberish.
In the meantime, Iori briefly bares his fangs as he explains. “Tsk. I’ve only dealt with one arrogant coward who dared to attack me. At least he didn’t show any interest in you and it’s all that matters. But I took longer than expected because out of nowhere he got the support and these two brats teamed up against me while that fool lied in his blood and laughed. That’s it.”
After a brief pause, he adds. “So, now when you know this, you can do whatever you want.”
Of course, such an answer is enough for Kyo, and he whispers. “Thank you.”
“Whatever. But keep in mind, you won’t drag me anywhere.” The redhead replies.
In the end, the brunette only silently nods.
No matter how much Kyo wants to stay like this, even if for a bit longer, he understands he cannot allow himself to rest. After all, he has become a temporary caretaker of two.
But for now, his first duty as a nurse is to examine his patient and wash him down. Or so the Kusanagi decides.
Some time has passed. After Kyo finally finishes treating Iori’s injuries and put him in warmer pajama, he manages to change the bedsheets without tearing them or tripping over for the first time.
Of course, it doesn’t help that Iori observes him as if he is his entertainment.
On the other hand, seeing Yagami cracking a smile or reminding him how to handle such a simple task despite his body being covered in bruises relieved the Kusanagi.
But for now, he can finally take a break. Or so Kyo ponders as he changes into a gray tank top and shorts and snuggles under the blanket like a feline.
As he watches over Iori, he softens his gaze.
“What is it?” The redhead asks.
“It can’t be helped that I have to check on my patient,” Kyo explains.
After Yagami turns to the side, he throws his arm over his partner and brings him closer.
For sure, such a gesture surprises the brunette. Yet, he doesn’t show any desire to lose to Iori and embraces his new role by adding in a slightly indignant voice. “Oi, what do you think you’re allowing yourself, mister? Don’t forget - you are my patient and I’m your nurse. So, you have to do what I say.”
“Then where’s your uniform, nurse?” Iori backfires while keeping a smug look on his face.
Suddenly, the heat rushes to the Kusanagi’s cheeks, and he averts his gaze for a few moments. More so, it’s difficult for him to keep a serious face when Yagami’s hand rubs and squeezes his buttocks.
Certainly, his partner’s adorable reaction amuses Iori, and he teases him a bit. “I wonder what kind of outfit you have in mind. It seems that I need to discipline my nurse for having naughty thoughts about his patient~ And, you know, medical scrubs are a thing too.”
Instead of saying anything, Kyo opens his big amber eyes and pinches his partner’s nose. “Right now, you are under a strict bed mode. And that also means - no sex for you until you get well, got it?”
“You’re such a young nurse, but already as strict as an old one…” The redhead comments as soon as Kyo lowers his hand.
“I wonder thanks to whom…” Kyo replies while keeping a poker face.
In the end, without Kusanagi realizing it, he becomes temporally distracted by his own play.
On the other hand, if Iori can joke around like this, then his injuries are not as life-threatening as Kyo expected.
Despite the Yagami’s attempt to calm down the tensed Kusanagi, the brunette shouldn’t take this situation so lightly and not forget about it as it never happened.
More importantly, his suspicious intuition is correct about who could have beaten Iori.
That’s why he must seek the same man, who is so desperately obsessed with Yagami, and settle it down. Or so Kyo is determined.
