The Fox and the Raven

Family Time

"Karasu, we need to talk." Akimi said seriously. He pulled his husband into a separate area of the jet away from everyone else and closed the door behind them. This was were the mini bar and counter with a cabinet was.

"Am I in trouble?" Toshio said, wide eyed.

Akimi pinned him against the wall with a blade.

"You listen to me carefully Toshio Kaneshiro. If there is anything in our entire 15 years of marriage that you haven't told me about this Russian bitch, I need you to tell me now. Like RIGHT now. I am not walking into this snowy wasteland without knowing EXACTLY what is going on..." Akimi growled, staring into Toshio's soul.

Toshio just gulped.

"You're hot when you threaten me with knives, Kitsune~" Toshio said.

Akimi pressed the knife harder against his throat with an angrier face.

"D-don't play any fucking games with me! Is t-there a-anything you've k-kept from me? Have you l-lied to me, Karasu?" Akimi asked, starting to cry.

Toshio looked heartbroken. "Akimi, why would I lie to you? Why would I keep something like that from you? What happened that made you think that?"

Akimi didn't respond and only kept holding the knife and crying. Toshio got fed up and grabbed the blade in his hand, throwing it to the ground.

"AHHH! STOP!" Akimi yelled, grabbing Toshio's hand.

"Awnser my question! What happened, Kitsune!?" Toshio demanded. He didn't feel the pain and even if he did he wouldn't care right now.

"I'm just- tired-" Akimi said quietly.

Toshio's eyes widened in realization. He touched Akimi's hips and he flinched immediately, scurrying against the wall and down to the floor. He covered his legs, pressing them against his chest.

"私を傷つけないで- (Don't hurt me-)" He whispered, turning his face away.

"私の小さなキツネはどれくらいこのようでしたか？私はあなたがこのように何年も見ていません- (How long has it been this bad, my little fox? I haven't seen you like this in years-)" Toshio said. He wanted to cry. He wanted to kill Hayashida all over again.

"Just tell me everything, Toshio. Tell me everything about her and Nicolas and Milae. Everyone."

Toshio sat across of Akimi on the floor since he didn't want to touch him until he was ready.

"Well you already read his file. Nicolas and I were always close when he was little. I was actually the one who suspected his autism and told Milae. Vanya had a neurologist come to the house and he was placed on the spectrum. It never phased wither of them and they took care of him regardless. They love him very much. Nicolas is actually very similar to you, Kitsune. He stays in the shadows until it is time to strike and he leaves nothing behind. He is not impulsive or hot headed even though his temper is terrible more-so like mine. Nicolas' mark is considered the most severe out of the entire mafia. Even more severe than his mother. That is why he had a tattoo of a snake on his back. If he loves something enough, its all he cares about. If he fell in love with our baby Kaede, that boy is the safest human being alive." Toshio said.

By the end of his explanation, Akimi was wrapped in his arms with his head against the raven's chest. He had also wrapped Toshio's hand up so the bleeding had stopped.
