Perfect Catch

-45-

Mornings at Leo Corp have always been rough. They are especially rough when you are the part time delivery boy, who had until 12:00 to finish all the morning deliveries and then head straight into town for an exam. Shay and Yuto watched from their desks as Crow frantically continued his run. "I don't get why he didn't just ask for the time off," Shay sighed.

"Unlike us, if he doesn't come in, he won't get paid," Yuto explained a bit annoyed at the rule. "Poor guy has had exams every other day for the past week."

"Well," Shay said stretching his arms up. "We'll leave him to it. Today is his last one. He can crash on the sofa at Emi's later."

Yuto just smiled as he continued to watch the frantic black bird trying to finish. With less than an hour, Crow still had another two floors to deliver to.  Speaking of the time, he flipped his wrist over looking at the time. Today, Skip was attending the office for the final discussion with Declan regarding mermaid to human transformation and to begin the political talks. Skip had briefly explained that Yuto should also be able to turn, however this would be dependent on the lunar cycle and if there was still any magic left in the pendant his farther gave him. As for the turning human, they learnt this could only take place if a human was mated with a human, which wasn't truly ideal for others but made sense neither the less. Once mated the bond is formed so that later on, should the mermaid wish, they can fuse the blood in their pendant with their mates and ingest a small amount of the mate's blood while "mating". The idea made Yuto cringed however it was what Yuya want, who was he to deny that?

At 12:30, there was a panic Crow running through the building, dashing out to his bike as fast as he could. He nearly caused a collision with Yuto as he Yuto made his way to Declan's office. Knocking softly on the door, Yuto waited for a "Come in" before entering. He was shocked when not only was Skip there, but so were Yuri and Yuya. "I'd asked for them to come as I require some assistance with some medical knowledge," Declan explained as Yuto took a seat. "Skip and I have already spoke about the majority of issues, including the political issues. As he is a senior member of the community Skip has agreed on behalf of Leo Corp, he will speak to you community to begin repairing bridges once lost."

"That's great," Yuto exclaimed in relief. "It'll be great to start seeing two worlds once separated back together."

"Using what we've already put into place, it shouldn't be an issue," Declan face a cocky smirk. "But I must also ask that Yuto, you and Yuya, accompany him."

"Why me?" Yuto gasped.

"Your parents provided their love for each other by creating you," Declan began to explain. "And your love with Yuya is certainly also something to show for. Do you agree Skip?"

"Absolutely," He chimed. "In fact, the day your parents passed was actually a day we were going to look at doing something similar to this. They would be happy knowing that their son is helping to make a change in this world once again."

Yuto was honoured that he had this chance so, nervously, agreed to part-take. "Excellent," Declan's smirk remained on his face. "Now all I have left is to help set up medical professionals so that should anything go wrong, we are able to assist. Yuri and Yuya, this is where you come in."

"Why us?" Yuri questioned raising an eyebrow.

Yuya thought about it for a moment. "Oh, that's right, males can get pregnant," He exclaimed causing Yuri and Yuto to blush deeply.

"Correct," Declan praised. "I want one of our doctors to check your physical biology, to ensure we know how you get pregnant and how you function. If you are okay to, I'd like you both to meet with my doctors this afternoon so we can begin this process."

"I'm happy to," Yuya blushed with a loving smile. "I want to know that when the time comes and I have Yuto's baby, that everything will be alright."

A deep blush found its way onto Yuto's face. Just how adorable could his lover be?  "Guess," Yuri swallowed nervously. "I'll be okay with it."

"Excellent," Declan proclaimed. "I'll get you two the paperwork to sign. Skip, I appreciate your time today."

"No thank you," Skip said reaching out a hand. "You're bringing this community back together. All I want is for my daughter to have the choice of where she lives and who she mates with. This is going to give her that opportunity."

Happily, Declan took his hand. This was truly the start of a wonderful life once again in heartland. It may take some time but he knew it would be worth it.
