CHAPTER 5

". . . down here, Keisuke?"

A strident female voice tugged Takumi out of the warm blanket of peaceful sleep into which he had fallen. Strong arms tightened around Takumi as he jerked awake. He felt the warmth of Keisuke's hard body curled around his own. Takumi registered Keisuke's scent surrounding him as his mind tried to comprehend the situation.

"I won't tolerate such disrespect in my home, musuko. You know better than to disobey rules like this!" Keisuke's okāsan, Yukiko Takahashi snarled near their feet Takumi realized as his eyes snapped open.

The groggy teen's memory began to fill blanks as he tried to understand why Keisuke had snuggled him inside his embrace. Keisuke had grabbed his pillow from upstairs, and come back to sleep next to him Takumi recalled. His older lover's concern had moved him to break the house rule Yukiko Takahashi had made.

"The shonen seem fine, dear." Ryuunosuke Takahashi's voice sounded amused. Takumi grimaced realizing both of Keisuke's ryōshin were standing in the study. It sounded as if Keisuke's otosān meant to soothe Yukiko-san's annoyance.

Keisuke's voice was hostile and sleep laden as he defended himself next to Takumi's ear. "Nani the hell are you yelling for? I'm keeping Takumi's brace from getting caught in the busted spring again." The arm draped across Takumi's waist slid from around him as the blond rolled onto his back.

"You will curb inexcusable language, and behavior if you want to keep your hide, musuko of mine!" Yukiko's voice held pronounced bite.

Takumi winced. They had broken the rule about separate sleeping quarters. Because he had known the rule, Takumi realized he should have sent Keisuke upstairs. His emotions had been in turmoil so he had not wanted to be alone for fear of falling back into the same terrifying dream. Takumi sat up as guilt gnawed his stomach while he faced Keisuke's ryōshin. Keisuke sat up once his shoulder was free.

"Uh, gome, . . ."

Yukiko cut Takumi off mid word. "I'm aware that you're concerned about Takumi-kun, Keisuke. Nevertheless, this rule breaking habit of yours is rude, . . . and I won't tolerate it. . . . Ever! Do you understand me?"

Yukiko's eyes were fixed on Keisuke. Takumi worried his lower lip between his teeth as he glanced at Keisuke's otosān, who stood beside the door. "It's all right, Okāsan. Keisuke's not done anything to worry about. I'd be equally protective if you were in Takumi-kun's position. I know you made the rule about staying in separate rooms with good intentions, but, I don't see anything that makes me think any trouble happened. There's no reason for you to be so angry, dear."

Ryuunosuke Takahashi was a man with a distinctive bearing, and physical presence. Feeling confident about anything Keisuke's Otosān said was easy. Silver dusted the older man's thick nutmeg waves kept close cropped, and styled as top professionals preferred. Ryuunosuke's face was the same as Ryosuke's and Keisuke's, with a more prominent nose. The high forehead, with thick brows held rows of tiny lines. Ryuunosuke considered every word he used, or information given, with great care. Whenever his brow held a slight wrinkle, he was at his most thoughtful.

The most obvious difference between Ryuunosuke, and both sons, apart from age and longer, darker or lighter hair and haircuts, was that Ryosuke and Keisuke had Yukiko's nose and dark blue eyes. Ryuunosuke's eyes were a tawny gold with carmine rings framed by prescription glasses. Those eyes seemed to dance as he looked at them. The nineteen-year-old could not understand his blatant amusement over the scene in his study.

Keisuke sounded as if he fought to keep his voice level. "Che. 'Tosān's right. We're not being crude, Okāsan. Takumi needed me last night. Nothing happened that you should freak out over. I had to stay down here to protect his leg."

Yukiko maintained the white-hot glare on her younger musuko. Takumi saw that his lover's eyes narrowed as he returned the visual daggers in exact measure. A low furious growl escaped her throat. Takumi felt his eyes widen as he tried to think of anything he could do to calm Keisuke's furious okāsan, and equally belligerent lover. Ryuunosuke's chuckle broke through their battle of wills before Takumi found his voice.

"Keisuke, for once I understand you. It'll probably be the only time I ever will, musuko." Takahashi senior shook his head when Yukiko looked back toward her husband with a hand on her hip. Keisuke's eyebrows twitched as he turned toward his otosān.

"Nani do you mean?"

"You seem to have inherited my over protective instincts, Keisuke. For the first time since you turned seven, I understand your mind. Your thoughts are, how do I help Takumi right now? How can I comfort him since there's nothing else I can do for him? You love Takumi-kun enough that you even risked Okāsan's wrath."

Takumi looked between the two men frowning. 'Ryuunosuke-san is quick to ask about my health every morning when he's here and I come in for breakfast. He does that whenever he's home for dinner too. Keisuke's otosān has made more than one observation that I look tired, or asked if I'm okay since I've been staying with them. He even seems to be getting worried about me lately.'

'Keisuke gets pissed off every time he decides I've done too much. He growls at me to take it easy. He starts to hover if he thinks I might try to do something alone. It's annoying, but I know he's worried that I'll re-hurt my leg. Keisuke gets obnoxiously overprotective. Maybe they are alike, just different in how they show it.'

The nineteen-year-old noticed that Keisuke looked shocked by the calm observation. "Great. For once we understand each other. Now, explain it to Okāsan so she stops giving me her specialized death-ray smile."

It was unfair that Keisuke was the only one in trouble with his okāsan. Takumi tried again. "Um, we both mes, . . ."

Yukiko's voice held tones reminiscent of blood soaked whips as she cut Takumi off yet again. "Takahashi Keisuke, how dare you use that tone with us! Apologize!"

Keisuke clenched his fists and ground his teeth together until they popped audibly. The blond gave Yukiko-san an evil glare. Takumi heard another slight pop of his teeth protesting abuse as Keisuke contained his fury. It was obvious that Keisuke would not back down. Calming the situation became Takumi's main concern. However, he had no idea of what to say to ease Yukiko-san's equally hot fury.

"Calm down, dear. I know the frustration Keisuke's feeling right now. No one can cope with me when any of you get ill. I'm sure that's the reason for Keisuke's surly attitude. He's defending his right to stay with Takumi. I'm also upset that Takumi's having difficulties he doesn't need."

Yukiko jerked a stray lock of hair behind her ear as she faced her spouse. "We deserve more respect from Keisuke. This is no time to make an exception. Keisuke has always been difficult. I won't tolerate bad manners even if he has a reason. He broke house rules, and shows no remorse. I can't believe you're defending him, Otosān?!"

"Naze don't we find out the details before you flay our shonen alive? Hm? It seems to me that Takumi-kun's been trying to speak, and you won't let him, sweetheart." Ryuunosuke raised his hands as he sought to stall another wave of vitriol from his wife. "Keisuke mentioned something about needing to protect Takumi-kun's leg."

Takumi could hear the sound of stomping on the stairs, and let out a small groan. It appeared the commotion going on beneath his bedroom had awoken Ryosuke. "Gomen nasai for causing so much trouble. I waited for someone to notice that I had turned the light on when I got caught in the frame. I couldn't get my leg free without Ryosuke-san's help. There's a spring that broke off of the bed that has to be fixed. Keisuke felt he had to make sure I couldn't catch my brace buckles in it a second time. That's the only reason he's here. Keisuke's on the side with the broken spring to keep my brace away from it."

Keisuke's okāsan surprised him with the gentleness of her tone. "I'm glad that Ryosuke got you free, Takumi. It even makes perfect sense that you want to prove yourself to your darling, Keisuke." Her tone shifted to frigid extremes with her next comment. "However, you will obey house rules, . . . or answer to me, musuko. Do I make myself clear?"

Takumi noticed her too bright smile as they looked up at her. It was her most innocent, yet dangerous expression in an arsenal of understated threats Keisuke had warned him about. Neither could misunderstand her.

"I won't risk Takumi's leg! I'll crash down here again no matter how much you scream at me over that idiotic rule if he really needs me! We all know he could lose his leg if anything goes wrong before the bone heals a lot more!" Keisuke snarled. Yet, as Takumi looked over at him, he noted that his lover's expression had shifted toward thoughtful.

Ryosuke stepped into the doorway. The older rotary brother looked exhausted as he ran a hand across his eyes. "Nani is all the commotion about, Otosān?"

"Okāsan's upset, musuko. They broke her rule about separate rooms last night."

"Fujiwara's brace was trapped on a loose spring when I got home, Okāsan. He was in a lot of pain and wouldn't call for help even though he really needed it. Keisuke stayed down here to prevent Fujiwara's leg from getting caught in the hook again. The spring put an alarming amount of strain on his shattered thigh. I agreed that it was safer for Keisuke to stay in here last night. They can go back to sleeping in their own rooms after we fix the broken frame."

Before Keisuke's ryōshin could answer, Keisuke grumbled. "I don't get how pissed you are, 'Kāsan. You don't have a problem with me keeping tabs on Takumi when he takes a shower. So, naze do you think I'd push for sex because I'm down here?"

Yukiko gasped looking shocked. Takumi felt his eyes bulge as he turned to look at his boyfriend. Waves of discomfort flashed through him, burning through his face, chest and ears as Takumi avoided the gazes of everyone else in the room. He needed something to say, but his mind was blank with mortification. Takumi shot a furtive glance at the rest of the room's occupants as heat and ice flashed through him. Ryosuke's jaw was unhinged as he stared at his younger brother. Yukiko had whirled and was looking at her husband. She pointed back at Keisuke without a sound.

Ryuunosuke sighed. "Logic would dictate that was the reason for your rule, sweetheart. Nani else would Keisuke, or Takumi assume after you barged in screaming in such a huge fit of anger?"

"Well, . . . I never, . . ." Yukiko choked, unable to finish her thought.

Ryosuke growled, "Little brother, that was way too much to say out loud. You had better apologize!"

"Che! Aniki, . . ."

Ryuunosuke intervened before Keisuke and his brother could get into an argument. "Musuko, that rule is meant to keep you from kicking Takumi's leg when you're asleep. You're both restless sleepers so Okāsan thought that preventing accidents at this stage of his leg's healing would be wise. As you said, Keisuke, Takumi-kun could lose his leg if the bone re fractures. The current bone brace was put on prematurely."

Keisuke nodded as he crossed his arms over his chest and frowned at his Okāsan. Yukiko turned back to her younger musuko, shock still evident. "Keisuke? . . . How could you think . . . ? . . . Your dirty mind is appalling!"

"Uhm, Yukiko-san, I uhm . . . Well, I kind of, . . . thought . . . that was the reason for the separate rooms too." Takumi felt he had to support Keisuke's position though he found it hard to look at Keisuke's family as he choked out his agreement. "You still don't know me very well. I don't want to do anything disrespectful while I'm in your home. I thought you made the rule to make me aware of how things should be while I'm here. . . ." He ran a finger along his cheek as he spoke. He glanced at his older lover and frowned. "Still, I don't think Keisuke should have said something that embarrassing so plainly. That was waayyy too forward." Takumi blew out a frustrated breath.

Keisuke rolled his eyes at his hard look. "Not you too, Takumi. We thought the same thing. Don't even think about shredding me for saying something. We were wrong about the rule. At least we know the truth, now."

Yukiko remained pale as she looked at them. Ryosuke vented a tired sigh and pointed out of the study. "Can I talk to you, Otosān, Okāsan?" He leveled a glare on both Keisuke and himself. "Find the tools to fix the spring, little brother. I'll be back to help you as soon as I'm done speaking with our ryōshin." The dark-haired rotary brother turned and stomped out in obvious ill temper.

"I think it would be best if we follow Ryosuke, don't you agree, Okāsan?" Ryuunosuke prompted his wife to follow their older son.

"But, . . ."

"It's fine, Yukiko. We'll resolve this situation much faster if you calm down. You're quite upset. So is Keisuke for that matter. I think we should hear Ryosuke before you select a punishment for anyone."

A frustrated "harumph" left Yukiko's mouth as she stomped through the doorway with a ram rod straight back. Ryuunosuke followed her with a hint of a smile on his lips.
