Code Red
" Hahaha. Just look at these fools. These clowns. Do you really think you can escape me huh? Looks like I need to show you who the boss is."

Haruki and Takahara's room**
Takahara has been dealing with a dilemma for the past few weeks. The dilemma along with his hellish training regime was starting to take toll on him but he stood firm and was strong. After all his love was included.
" Not able to eat again?" Takahara asked, concern evident in his eyes and his voice was laced with worry.
" Don't you think we should tell your parents by now?"
" Nah, I'm sure it's because I'm not used to the environment. I'll be fine. I don't want to trouble them. They really have a lot on their plates right now."
Takahara nodded his head in understanding. He cuddled him as he put him to sleep.
The next evening, on the dining table**
Their dinner was mostly fried foods with coffee. It was like they had a grudge with Haruki for them to present those foods.
" Brother, he's disturbing you right?" Hinata asked, as he looked at Haruki who was in discomfort.
Everyone was confused as they looked from Haruki to Hinata and back to Haruki.
* Blergh
" Haruki." They exclaimed as he ran to the closest bathroom to vomit. Again. Takahara was becoming extremely worried and scared as he ran after him.
" How long has this been happening." Leon asked when Haruki had calmed down.
" A few weeks now."
" A few weeks??!! And none of you deemed it fit to tell me!" He was very angry and hurt. Sol held his hand to calm him down but it was barely working.
" I'm sorry dad. You were all busy and I didn't want to burden you with something not serious." Haruki replied weakly.
" You're important Haruki, all of you are." Leon looked at him with tears in his eyes.
" So what do we do?" Sol asked.
" We tell James to the USA right this instant."
-------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere back in Japan**
" Wife my ears are itchy. Who do you think can be talking about me by this time?" He asked as he looked at his wife."
" I pray they actually come to take you away. My back hurts you monster." He replied and James smirked.
-----------------------------------------------------
Hinata went to Haruki's side on the cushion and rested his head on Haruki's lap.
" Hina, baby you need to let Haruki rest okay?" Asahi said softly.
" But I want to be close to him." Hinata pouted and they all looked at him confusedly.
That was when it dawned on Leon.
" Oh no!!" He widened his eyes in shock, horror and excitement. His emotions were a rollercoaster, such that he couldn't place what exactly he was feeling or should be feeling.
" Is everything fine?"
" We need James. Now." He said, his voice barely audible.
" Is everything fine?" Takahara asked, scared.
* Ring
" Hello, Exclusive Dr. James Heart speaking, how may I help you?"
" I need you to come here right now. It's a code red." Leon replied
" What??!!! You mean come there and leave my wife alone??!! Oh Leon, why?!!!?" He sighed dramatically.
Leon rolled his eyes at his reaction and scolded him. " It looks like you didn't get my full message. I said it's a code red you this lovesick fool." He whisper yelled.
" Argh!! Fine. Send me the address. I'm sure my wife won't want me to leave. But the quicker he agrees the faster I'll get...."
" You can go now!!!" Leon heard Alexander yell underneath and he chuckled lightly.
" James.." he called suddenly serious.
" Yeah, yeah I'll be right there." And with that they hung up.
Leon looked over to Haruki, Hinata and Albert who had already gone to their side.
Raphael looked and watched keenly with disdain, unaware that they were all aware of his stares.
" Take him to rest Takahara." Leon said.
" Can I go with him?" Hinata asked quietly and Leon smiled.
" Of course baby, ahem, Hina you can sleep with Haruki tonight." He glanced a mocking knowing smirk at Asahi who was glaring at him. Sol couldn't help but chuckle lightly at their childish banter.
" I'm sleeping in the next room." Takahara said as he winked at Asahi.
" Baby are you really gonna leave me alone for the whole night?" Asahi whined to Hinata who just hit him lightly on the head, smiling.
" C'mon don't be a child. You'll be just fine."
Asahi pouted but agreed anyway.
Raphael had left earlier and Albert knew he was up to no good.
They all retired for the night.
In Haruki's room**
" How are you doing?" Hinata asked as they both lay down on the bed facing eachother.
" The last time we slept facing eachother like this was in that wretched place." Haruki said, his voice barely audible.
" What did you say?" Hinata asked
" It's... It's nothing." He smiled in return.
" Want me to sing a song?" Hinata asked and Haruki hummed a reply.
Little lantern glowing where I never thought it'd shine
Heartbeat like a secret, folded softly into mine
Paths we never painted, now bloom beneath our feet
I hold this fragile promise, where wonder and worry meet
So I gather all my trembling, lay them down like petals fair
Send them up beyond the ceiling, wrapped inside a whispered prayer
Guide these tiny dreams unseen, cradle what we cannot know
Let tomorrow's tender mercy teach our frightened hearts to grow
If this road was carved by hands unseen, lead us where we need to be
Hold us close, through every shadow, till the light is all we see
Morning comes uncertain, with questions like the rain
But even in the thunder, there's a lullaby's refrain
Maybe love was always waiting, in the corners of surprise
A hidden song unfolding, in unexpected skies
I won't ask for easy answers, just the strength to trust the climb
And a little grace to cover, all the moments out of time
Guide these tiny dreams unseen, cradle what we cannot know
Let tomorrow's tender mercy teach our frightened hearts to grow
If this road was carved by hands unseen, lead us where we need to be
Hold us close, through every shadow, till the light is all we see
So here's my quiet hallelujah, for the life that softly stirs
A prayer stitched into silence, carried on a breathless word
At the end of the song, Haruki's soft snores could be heard and Hinata smiled wholeheartedly. He was happy and proud of himself that he could bring comfort to his brother.
" Sleep well little one, and please don't trouble my brother too much okay?"
How Hinata knew of Haruki's pregnancy before anyone else remains a mystery
