Yohji breezed into the flower shop
the next morning, long after Ken had opened the doors. The younger man set the flowerpot he’d been
carrying down, and put his hands on his hips.
“You’re late again, Yohji.”
“Sorry, sorry.”
The blonde’s grin was unrepentant, and he planted a sloppy kiss on Ken’s
lips as he passed by. “We were up a little late last night.”
“Oh? Everything all right?” Ken cocked an eyebrow as he dragged one of
the large potted trees to a new spot.
Yohji tied
his apron on, beginning to count the register.
“I suppose I owe you a hundred yen.”
“Yes!” Ken pumped his fist in the air. “I –“
“Yes, good
job, you were finally right about something.”
He waved a lazy hand at his co-worker.
“You were only half right, anyway. She
got hers, but he didn’t get his – not from her, at least.”
“But she’s
opening up to us at last!”
“Oh yes.”
The taller man’s grin was wolfish. “The
one thing that I can say for that bastard of an ex is that he taught her well. She’s brilliant in bed.”
“Lucky. All I got last night was a good night kiss
and a couple hours of television.” Ken
sighed. “How long are we going to drag
this mission out?”
“We don’t
want to leave anything to chance, Ken-Ken.
If we want Brianna to survive, we don’t dare.”
“Ugh. I know that, but I still wish there was more
we could do now.”
Yohji began
to water the plants as the first customers trickled in. “We all wish that, Ken.”
Brianna put
the phone down, fear filling her. Aya
glanced up from his sketchbook, where he was inking some of her art. “What?”
“He’s threatening
my apartment building.” Her voice was
flat.
“We’ll move
you into our apartment.” He pulled a
slim cellphone from his pocket and punched one of the speed dials. “Yotan, Brianna-chan needs to be moved in.”
He clicked the phone off, neither Brianna nor Yohji surprised at how
abrupt his call was.
“I don’t want
to be any trouble –“ The artist was treated to one of Aya’s milder glares, and
she nodded. “Right. Shutting up now.”
Back at the
flower shop, Yohji organized his troops. “Ken,
you’ll be in charge of the living room. Omi, you take the kitchen. You-“
He pointed at Omi’s school friend, whose name was escaping him at the moment.
“Pack the bathroom. I’ll start on the bedroom. Once all the boxes are unloaded here, we’ll
go back for the furniture. We’ve only
got a couple of hours, so let’s get moving!”
Aya and Brianna
stopped on the way home to order take-out for everyone, thereby delaying their
arrival home by enough time that the guys had finished. Before everyone sat down to eat, they brought
the girl to see her new home.
“Aya and I
are sharing a room now, and we set Aya’s up for you.” Yohji threw the door open and Brianna clapped her hands together
over her lips, tears welling up.
The boys had
set her bed up under the windows; her dresser was next to the closet on one
wall, and her computer desk was next to the door, her computer equipment set
up on its surface. All of the empty
space on the walls was filled with her paintings.
Her perfume, jewelry box, and cosmetics were on the dresser top, and
her clothes were hung neatly in the closet.
“It’s perfect.”
Four guys exhaled sighs of relief at the words, while Omi’s friend (who,
as Yohji had finally remembered, was named Hiiro) just smiled.
“Thank you all so much. I feel
like I’m intruding, so for you all to go to this kind of trouble….”
“It’s not
trouble to make you welcome.”
“Aren’t we
family now, Brianna-chan?” Omi hugged
her, while Ken reached over to wipe the tears away. She stared at Yohji and Aya over the teen’s shoulder, and they both
smiled at her.
“Can we eat
now?” Aya glared as everyone looked
at him. “We missed lunch, all right?”
Brianna nodded.
“I’m sorry – it was my fault.” Aya
shook his head and turned towards the stairs, everyone following.
Brianna lagged behind, looking over her shoulder at the room that they’d
put together for her.
When Sarisho’s
men entered her apartment later that night, all they found was a vase filled
with flowers. Oleander for caution,
nasturtium for victory in battle, monkshood for beware, and juniper for protection.
The arrangement was carefully set up to provide anyone who understood
the language of flowers a very clear warning – don’t mess with this girl.
