Joker

6. Joker's first appearance

Once Akabane left, Nakul went upstairs to check on Beomgyu and Ayu. The pair were on the younger's bed, playing on the teen's switch and screaming at the tiny screen. Nakul smiled at the sight. He loved seeing the way Ayu smiled when Beomgyu was around. It was the smile of a boy who had family. He smiled like that around Nakul and Yuri and... Akabane strangely. Maybe Akabane finding him that day drove him closer to the guy.

Not disturbing the yelling pair, Nakul went to his room and glanced at his phone. No messages from Yuri. Nothing had happened then. He sighed. He ended up thinking about Akabane again, staring at the ceiling. First off, the flushing. Nakul's heart screamed every time Akabane's cheeks would be dusted in that delicate pink. He chuckled to himself thinking about Akabane's surprise announcement of being gay and internally celebrated that he had a shot. He daydreamed about Akabane's blushing cheeks, fiddling fingers and shy nervous words when he said sorry. He just looked so damn cute when he stuttered, asking Nakul what he wanted them to be. Nakul had to exercise a great amount of self-control not to say, 'I want us to be kissing.' He sighed thinking about the way he gave Nakul a small stubborn glare when he said, 'So what if I am?' He suddenly blushed thinking about the way he prettily bit the cookie from his hand. The angle from Nakul's height did not help. He just looked so... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Then he stopped himself before he got a boner. Then he facepalmed thinking about his serial feeder comment.

He was happy to know I'd go on Saturday though. AND OF COURSE I'D GO THE CUTE MAN INVITED ME and Ayu too BUT ME! Shit and he likes Haikyuu too! He likes Oikawa! Then that... tank top. Nakul flushed harder thinking about the way in a bout of excitement Akabane had suddenly chucked off his jacket and revealed the top. He closed his eyes and saw the long perfect neck, clear milky skin, prominent collarbones, wide shoulders, lean torso, and tiny slim waist. Akabane simultaneously looked ridiculously cute and devastatingly sexy. When he turned around Nakul had ended up ignoring the number four, focusing only on the side profile of the elflike man, his neck, the outline of his shoulder blades and that perfect smile. He suddenly felt a tightness in his pants and upon taking a look he realized there was a pretty visible tent there. He sighed and went into the bathroom. What have you done to me Akabane Inari you beautiful dork?

Once he had his little 'problem' sorted out, he noticed his phone ringing. He picked up quickly seeing the name of his co-worker flash "Hey Carrie?"

"Your informant in Malone's gang? Yeah he called Nakul." Carrie's hurried, panicked voice sounded "They got Ace and they're trying to deal him back for release with Queen and Jack."

"Now?!" Nakul freaked out.

"Not just now... King and Joker are there too."

"What?" Nakul felt time stop around him. King does tend to come out of hiding when the situation gets tense but JOKER?! THE JOKER?!

"We're going on the hit. Now." She said "No time to freak out, call Yuri and get your asses here ASAP! We're moving in with the ECPD."

"Right, right." Nakul quickly cut the call and grabbed his ID and pulled his gun out. He yanked on a jacket as he raced towards Ayu's room "BOYS?"

"Yeah Mr. Kumar?" Beomgyu looked up.

"Beomgyu please take care of Ayu, I got an urgent call. I have to go." Nakul said, "Give him dinner and put him to bed by 9:30 please if I'm not back by then."

"I'll take him home for dinner." Beomgyu said with a thumbs up "Leave him with me."

"Thanks Beomgyu." Nakul went towards his son who was glaring at the switch screen in focus "Ayu?"
