The (rut) cycle (shinsoukoku)

Chapter 28

Atsushi is leaning by the table and drinking his favorite tea when he sees Nikolaj appear and in his grip was a very familiar person.

Chuuya Nakahara.

The man was hardly conscious and had tape over his mouth. Both his arms appeared to be broken but Chuuya's aggressive spirit was still there. Even though it was obvious he had no strength left in his body, the glare he was giving Nikolaj would be able to murder.

Nikolaj doesn't die though.

"Don't bother" The white haired man says and then looks at Atsushi. Chuuya notices the weretiger too and his eyes widen. Well, as much as they possibly can. Chuuya tries to get out of Nikolaj's grip and land a punch on Atsushi. Unfortunately, he stands no chance.

„Why are you here?" The weretiger asks and puts his now empty cup on the table. He walks over to Chuuya and grabs his hair. He smiles when he sees the boss's angry expression.

"Aren't we going to accidentally start a war now?" He asks Nikolaj. They just stole the boss of the port mafia. There's no way this will be without consequences.

Nikolaj shakes his head and finally knocks the mafia boss unconscious.

"Not when there's a doppelgänger in the mafia. No one will realize until it's too late, and even so, they won't be able to tell who actually stole the real boss. So don't worry, we're safe."

"Why is he here then?"

"Fyodor wanted him to be kept at your house for some reason. I'm just following orders" He says and opens a door, later throws Chuuya in there. The room was a designed prison that Fyodor forced Atsushi to add into his house construction plan.

Atsushi groans but nods. He knows going against Fyodor's orders won't do him any good.

The only thing he needs to worry about is to keep Akutagawa away from that room.

A few days pass and every day Akutagawa and Atsushi sleep together. Both literally and figuratively. That meant Akutagawa was always sore and vulnerable. He was totally dependant on the weretiger and everyday, that thought helped Atsushi fall asleep.

Atsushi was getting less and less worried about Akutagawa finding out about Chuuya. His mate was barely able to leave the room and usually only went to the bathroom. Atsushi was the one feeding him so there was rarely need for him to go to the kitchen.

Today was one of those days.

"Ryuu, wake up" Atsusih says in a sweet voice. Akutagawa was in his bed and on his phone. Atsushi puts the plate of food in front of him and the diablo puts his phone away.

"Hey, is something wrong with the wifi? Some of my messages aren't sending" The diablo asks as he takes a bite of his food.

"No, I don't think so. But I can check if you want to" He lies.

There wasn't anything wrong with the wifi, but something was wrong with Akutagawa's phone. He managed to hack into it and made sure that the message the diablo will send and also get back will take much longer to arrive. Sure, it seems like basically nothing, but in case something happens in the real world, it would take much longer for Akutagawa to know and Atsushi would be able to take his phone away before he even has time to check.

"Thanks" Ryuunsuke says and Atsushi smiles. He gets into the bed and sits down next to the diablo. He lays his head on Akutagaw's shoulder and snuggles up to his mate.

"I will have to leave for a mission soon..." He says in a sad voice and the way he makes it sound, Akutagawa thinks he's going to leave for a really long time.
