I'm dead without you (omegaverse)

Finian's mission

It had been a long, uneventful flight and Finian hadn't been able to relax at all. It felt like every hour that passed brought Dorian closer to getting sick again. Finian felt stressed. 

When the red-haired man arrived at Narita International Airport, it was late in the evening. He hadn't hesitated at all when the kids told him about Shiro going back to Japan. In an instant, he booked a seat on the next departing flight. And even though Dorian objected, Finian boarded the plane. After everything that had happened, Finian was convinced that Shiro didn't plan to come back to London. When Finian waited for the connecting flight in Helsinki, he called Shiro, and his suspicion was confirmed. Shiro was obviously scared and not knowing what to do, he had gone back to his daughter, and probably planned to stay there. Even if that would mean the death of him.

Finian knew that it would have been better if Dorian was the one to bring Shiro back, but he also knew that Dorian would never do that. His husband's new stubbornness surprised Finian. Dorian had never been so thick-headed before. And even if he had promised not to make trouble anymore, Dorian couldn't bring himself to be active about the whole thing it either.

Perhaps Dorian thought the same of him, that Finian was the stubborn one. But Finian refused to let his husband get hurt. And the alpha didn't want Shiro to hurt either. So Finian decided to fight with everything he got.

There hadn't been any problem for Finian to find out where Shiro lived. The singer's fans had loads of websites dedicated to him and the paparazzi stalked his home 24/7. His whole life were on public display. Honestly, it took Finian little by surprise. He realized that he hadn't understood how big of a star Shiro was in his home country. Not until Finian arrived in Tokyo, and saw the singers face and name on newspapers, billboards and merchandise in stores. There were even pictures of Shiro and Dorian on some of the newspapers, and Finian felt a bit irritated when he saw it. How could people find any interest in reading about things like that? Gossiping about so-called celebrities. Finian thought it was pretty sad, really.

Outside the airport, in the chill evening air, Finian got a taxi to drive him all the way to where Shiro lived. And when the red-haired man stood in front of the guarded entryway to the tall building, he finally realized that it was in the middle of the night, and he didn't even know if Shiro was home. Well, Finian wasn't one to panic, and calm as always he picked up his phone and called Shiro's number.

It took several minutes before Shiro answered, and it was with a sleepy voice he mumbled forth an "Hai?"

"Sorry to wake you up, but could you let me in? I'm standing outside your house."

It was quiet for a little while, but then Finian heard an "Uh?" And Shiro started to move around.

"Finian?"

"Yeah, it's me."

Shiro didn't say anything more, but Finian could hear his footsteps, doors that opened and closed, and then an elevator. Finian couldn't help but smile, and when he saw Shiro through the glass door, with a bedhead and black baggy clothes, he laughed.

Shiro said something to the man in the reception, and the person walked towards the door and opened it, letting Finian in with a courteous bow.

Finian walked in and up to Shiro. He laughed again when he saw the other man's confused expression.

"Hi Shiro," he said and put his arms around the shorter man, giving him a gentle hug.

Shiro, still confused and groggy from sleep, just stared at Finian.

"Can we go to your apartment? I think there are some photographers out in the bushes."

That made all the tiredness go away, and Shiro looked over Finian's shoulders. Just in time for a photographer to show his face with a camera and a flash of light lightened up the entree.
