Chapter 37: The Divulgence

For the whole two days, Ryohei has been spending his time on the bed. He has applied two days of his total annual leaves, but he practically did nothing. He lied miserably on the bed and cried his eyes out. There was supposed to be Yuki at the other side of the bed. Yuki was supposed to be resting together, sleeping peacefully. Giving birth must be hurtful for him, especially since he had physical anatomy as a man with female reproductive organs.

As far as he could remember, Yuki had to give birth to their babies premature. Yamato has not explained everything in detail because he was too busy handling Yuki, however there was one thing he should not do. It was almost the simplest thing he could do, but he could not - being by Yuki's side while Yuki put his utmost effort in giving birth.

He really made up his mind. Leaving the operation theater was his only choice. It should be Kawanishi to accompany Yuki, not him. Kawanishi was his employer, and also Yuki's employer. Kawanishi basically had everything - the physical, the power, the money...

Ryohei buried his face into his pillows. If everything was just fine yesterday, it would be Yuki lying by his side. Yuki's pregnancy was just in seventh month, so Yuki should still be at home. Every morning, Yuki would wake up first, saying their sons wanted to grab a food. Whatever they did, Yuki would rest his hand on his belly, caressing it gently despite the movement from within which sometimes gave him hard time to cope. Yuki could not figure out the change on his body, therefore he would ask Ryohei to describe how he looked like. There were times when Yuki felt he was fat, demanding Ryohei to measure him, and getting informed that his belly really grew large.

Ryohei sniffled while slamming his face into the pillow. The incident two days ago was dramatically astounding. He had not done anything to help Yuki, and when he was called to do so, he just realized it should not be him. Kawanishi was supposed to be by Yuki's side. Kawanishi granted Yuki what he could not - money, proper job, a house, and a seed that manageably impregnated Yuki. Yes, Kawanishi was the father.

Loud bangs startled Ryohei from inside the house. He at first decided to abandon the sound, but he heard the banger shouted for his name from the outside. Judging from the tone, it was Yamato. Ryohei lazily got up from the bed and made his way to the entrance.

Ryohei has just swung the door open when the guest ambushed him till both of them crashed the floor. Ryohei bumped his head on the parquet, but Yamato pinning him down was more painful than that. Yamato huffed and puffed, clenching his teeth and fists, with watery eyes. He sent off death glares at Ryohei, but the later looked back at him emotionlessly.

"What have you done, Ryohei? What did you do?! I can't believe you're that stupid! For God's sake, tell me why you did that!!"

The tremble in Yamato's limbs and the surfacing fine veins on Yamato's temple and neck, divulged to him he was undoubtedly furious. Yamato hoisted a fist, threatening to land a blow on Ryohei, yet his soft spot deep inside his heart successfully halted him. Seeing Ryohei all messy and untidy crumbled his heart, and he could not think wisely at the moment.

"Here comes the traitor, acting innocent and caring, but rotten inside."

"I swear to you I'll kill whoever made up the story!" Yamato cupped Ryohei's face, forcing him to shut up.

Ryohei remained quiet. Yamato rose and went to close the door. He would settle the misunderstanding all by himself. He could not rely on Kawanishi and Hayato anymore. Those two were really a pain in the ass.

"Kawanishi has tricked you," Yamato sounded as calm and helped Ryohei to get up from the bare floor, "He was really jealous of your relationship. He liked Yuki, but Yuki rejected him. Yuki despised him because he always wanted Yuki to serve him as a prostitute, not as an editor. The editing job was only making Yuki to stay within his range."

Yamato led him to the couch. Ryohei was not responding, yet Yamato ignored the ignorance.

"He tried many times to have sex with Yuki. He always failed, because Yuki had a very good instinct. There were days while you were gone to work, Yuki would call me to come over. On the days he did that, Kawanishi really did come to force him on sex. Realizing I was always with Yuki, Kawanishi did not come everyday."

Ryohei still ducked his head, but he mumbled. "Explain me the hickeys."

"Oh, so you did notice those," Yamato raised his brows, but his tone never changed. "I thought you didn't. You don't have to be worried over it - It was a failed attempt. I arrived later than Kawanishi, and Kawanishi has already stripped Yuki. He was about to put in his member into Yuki, however my arrival saved him. It was indeed traumatized him a lot, thus he ended up having fever."

Ryohei lifted his head up, probably to see the honesty portrayed on Yamato. Yamato noticed Ryohei was peeking him, yet he just kept on disclosing.

"For your information, Yuki has never been in relationship with Kawanishi. Their only relationship was as an employer and an employee. However, there were times Yuki did have sex with Kawanishi. It happened before you guys ever met, reluctantly," Yamato purposely emphasized the last word, "Yuki has never ever liked Kawanishi - he just agreed to have sex out of gratitude for giving him a place to living and providing him a better job than that gay bar."

Ryohei, too, clenched his teeth. Yamato saw his jaw moving as if he was gritting his teeth.

"On the day you guys met for the first time," Yamato has made Ryohei fidgeting in interest, "Yuki was not just spacing out on the bench across Niji Bookstore," he paused to see Ryohei's reaction regarding their first day of confronting as strangers, "He was actually waiting for Kawanishi. Kawanishi has seized his white cane to block him from walking around. They were from a love hotel, and Kawanishi wanted to lock Yuki there, yet Yuki refused to obey. Kawanishi disliked Yuki exposing himself to the public because Kawanishi knew Yuki's sweet scent would attract Alphas. But Yuki disliked being trapped by Kawanishi, so he threatened him to return back the cane, or he would go meet Hayato and reveal everything."

Ryohei frowned when he heard another name. "Hayato? He's my colleague in Niji Bookstore. Why was he related to my Yuki?"

The doctor gazed at Ryohei for a few seconds before he unfold another shocking news. "Hayato once banned Yuki from meeting Kawanishi, and even smashed a wine bottle to Yuki. As the result, Yuki's face was badly injured and a plastic surgery ought to be done. Everything could be restored but the eyes, yet I think they can still be cured by replacing the retina. Why was I mentioning his name? Because Hayato is Kawanishi's current wife."
