Purple - Yata Misaki Love Story

Part 41

Ever since that day, Yata and I slept side by side in his bed almost every night. I especially thanked Jesse for his volunteering to care for Rei, cleaning himself up so he could drop the boy off at school every morning, myself agreeing to pick him up every night.
Everything was going relatively well, we were slowly healing.
Yata still looked pretty empty most of the time, but he got outside a lot more and took strolls around the neighbourhood on his board.
A phone ringing woke me up, and it was insanely annoying since it was probably around eight in the morning, and Yata and I didn't usually get up at all until closer to noon.
"Yata." I groaned, "Shut it up."
He didn't answer, so I kicked him.
"It's your phone, woman." He groaned in reply.
My phone? Who the hell would be calling me other than Jesse if there was an emergency at school?
My eyes shot open and I swung myself over Yata, snatching the phone off the bed side table and answering it without looking at the caller ID.
Yata coughed slightly from having me on top of him, we were both awake now.
"Moshi Moshi." I answered.
"Yuri-chan. I didn't wake you, did I?"
"Munakata-san..." I blinked, confused, "What's... What's going on?"
"Well you see," I listened closely as Munakata told me about his research and findings on Rei's biological parents.
It wasn't really that surprising that he would be doing this kind of research at all, even after I've left Sceptre 4.
"So this woman, do you have her?" I asked.
"Yes. The tests have come back positive, she said she had a son as an excuse to be set free, and turns out her son is Rei."
"She can't take him from me, can she?"
"If she were to take it to court she'd be nothing short of an idiot. She'd never win."
I sighed in relief, "Thank you, Munakata. I... I'm going to come visit later today with Rei after he's finished school."
"Are you sure about brining Rei?"
I paused, but I already knew the answer, "Yes. I'll see you soon."
"See you, Yuri-chan."
I hung up the phone and moved off of Yata, falling back down onto the bed, I glanced over at his blushing face and rose a brow, "What's up with the blush?"
"I-I'm not blushing." He stuttered, moving his eyes to the ceiling.
I rose a brow, and watched as his eyes glanced back down to...
"You pervert!"
