After walking a few blocks, a familiar truck stopped by where Akito was walking. The driver noticed his enlarged stomach and knew that he shouldn't be walking in his condition. He opened the passenger's seat of his car.
"Hey kid. You shouldn't be straining your baby out here like that. Where you going?"
Akito was unsure what to think of this driver, after all, he hasn't had the best judgment over the years. He wanted to run but he couldn't jeopardize the life growing inside him.
"I'm going to a friend of mine." He said.
"Alright then, hop in. I'll take you where you're going."
The little shark was still skeptical on whether or not to trust this driver. Was he being a Good Samaritan or using this as an elaborate ploy for a kidnapping plot. Either way, Akito was tired of walking and he didn't want to hurt his unborn child so he went into the car and gave the driver directions to Ikki's house.
"So what's your story, kid?" the driver asked. "What you doing out here all by yourself?"
The young boy didn't respond at first. He didn't want to let the entire world in his business. Sure, he wouldn't see the driver after being dropped off but he still didn't want to open up about his drama to a guy who probably would just brush it off anyway. Maybe that was a good thing. But he wanted to sum it up as much as he could without giving too much away. But didn't exactly now how to put it.
"Well, umm I-I uhh…."
"Love got you down?" he interrupted. Then he knew that he had to let the driver in on at least some of his mucked love life. So he reluctantly let him in on the situation, or at least half of it.
"I had a fight with my boyfriend and I left him. And then when I went to live with my brother, I started getting sick. I went to the doctor and found out that I was pregnant. I sent a letter to him telling him I was pregnant and then he wrote back to me saying he wanted nothing to do with me or our baby. And when I tried to write to him again, his girlfriend comes along and tells me to stay away from him or she'll kill my baby. And she's pregnant, too."
The driver's eyes widened after hearing young Akito's story. He couldn't believe that a 17 year old could go through so much drama in the past five months. But what the bluenette left out was that he wasn't sure if the baby he was carrying really belonged to Ikki. After all, around the time he was with Ikki he was kidnapped and raped. There was also a possibility that his psycho ex-boyfriend was the father. Even with the drama he still has hope that Ikki will be there for the child and hopefully this baby was his.
Meanwhile back at the house, there was a huge Christmas party going on downstairs. Ikki however was in his room still sulking. Kazu and Emily went up the stairs, hoping to get their friend to cheer up if only for a minute. They finally got to his room Ikki was just laying there when he heard a knock on the door.
"Can we come in?" Kazu asked.
They didn't get an answer. So they walked into the room and saw the distraught crow lying on that bed yet again. They weren't about to let their friend have a lousy Christmas.
"Come on, Ikki!" Kazu said. "You've gotta get down here, it's an awesome party!"
The spiky-haired boy then turned to the window.
"I'm not going." He spat. Then Emily went and started shaking him. She was going to get him to come down one way or another.
"Listen you sorry excuse for a crow boy, you've been sulking over Akito for too damn long now! You'll just have to accept that it's over and come down here and have some god damn fun!"
Kazu ran and pulled his girlfriend off of his saddened friend. He knew that at times Emily could be very harsh; especially now that she had one less friend to help her out now, poor girl.
Ikki reluctantly got some of his clothes. "If I go downstairs, you guys better not make anymore jokes about Akito or Simca being pregnant you understand?"
The couple nodded, and then as he was going to get dressed he glared at Emily. He was not about to get dressed in front of a girl.
"Ahem, Emily, get out." He said pointing to the door. Then she went downstairs but not before giving her blond lover a light peck.
As he got dressed the crow noticed a serious look in his best friend's eyes. Anytime Kazu got that look on his face Ikki knew that something serious was up.
"What's going on?" he asked.
The blond sat down beside him, then looked around wondering if anyone was listening.
"Ikki, I think there's some things you need to know, about Akito."
Walking out the door this morning wondering what it is that's going on with you
Thinking of a way to say I'm sorry for something I'm not sure I do
So come on baby let me in and show me what this really is cause
Something must have made you say that, what did I do to make you say that to me
Something must have made you so mad, what can I do to make you say come back to me
All of a sudden Ikki's face changed. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Could the blond have really found something about where Akito was? And if so, why wait until now to bring it up.
"What…about…Akito?" he asked in a broken tone.
"Well, Nue told me a few things about where Akito was just the other day. First of all he was staying with Kaito for the past five months." Kazu began to explain.
"A-are you serious?" the crow asked.
Then he continued to receive the shocking update on his ex.
"I don't know if you knew this but, he's pregnant. I think he got pregnant around the time you were still in the hospital I went to the doctor with him to confirm it but he didn't seem too happy about it.
Hoping for a moment that I turn around and you'll be coming after me
Cause all that I can say is that it's obvious, it's obvious you're all I see
Something must have made you say that, what did I do to make you say that to me
Something must have made you so mad, what can I do to make you say come back to me
Flashback, about 6 months ago
Kazu took akito to the hospital after he was throwing up for four days straight. They were in the examining room waiting for an answer, just what could be wrong with him. Could he have a STD did he get the stomach flu? Something was very wrong for him to be throwing up so much and they had to find out.
The doctor came in with some good news.
"How is he doctor?" the jet asked. The grip on his friends hand was pretty tight. They were both preparing for the worst.
"Your friend is doing well. The vomiting is merely morning sickness."
"Morning sickness?" they shouted. Did this mean what they thought it meant?
"Congratulations, Warajima-san you are pregnant!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAT?" Kazu screamed in shock. Could what he was hearing be true? Akito,Pregnant? Unbelievable!
"That's Im-fucking-possible! He's a guy! He's not supposed to get pregnant!"
The doctor looked at his charts.
"I was thinking the same thing but the pain killers we gave him after his surgery was relatively new and it was rumored that many men who take it had a strange side effect that would enable them to conceive within one week of intercourse."
Aktio did not know what to think. On one hand he was happy about bringing a new life into the world and even hoping to share that with Ikki. But on the other hand he had a lot of doubt in his heart. He was raped a week ago. How did he know who the father really was, his night with Ikki and the rape happened at practically the same time. He wasn't sure if ikki was this unborn child's father. He wants him to be but isn't entirely sure.
End flashback.
He told me he didn't know if you or daisuke was the father. And that he was going to have an abortion done so that you wouldn't know but didn't because he wanted to believe that it was yours. He hid this from you because he was afraid that you would suspect he had an affair."
"Akito knows that I trust him!"
"And then when he left he wrote you a letter telling you that he was having your baby."
Ikki was beyond stunned. "Letter? I never got a letter!" then the jet handed him the letter and then Ikki was completely shocked. How could Akito leave without telling them about his baby? Why would he keep a secret like that from him? He needed to know the truth and soon.
"It turns out that according to Nue, Simca got a hold of the letter and wrote a fake response from you to him saying that the baby wasn't yours and you wanted nothing to do with them and even threatening to kill him and the baby."
The spiky haired boy was beginning to put all the pieces together. Now he knew why Akito didn't contact him all that time. And he now knew that simca and Daisuke were behind it all.
Those bitches! He thought. They destroyed my relationship with the man I love! How dare they?
"I'm not done," Kazu continued.
So come on baby let me in and show me what this really is about
Cause I cant read you
Come on baby let me in and show me what this really is cause
Something must have made you say that, what did I do to make you say that to me
Something must have made you so mad, what can I do to make you say come back to me
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay, if you say stay to me
(3x)
Something must have made you say that, what did I do to make you say that to me
Something must have made you so mad, what can I do to make you say come back to me
"If that wasn't bad enough, Simca came by Kaito's place and told akito to stay away from you and that if he so much as thought about you that she would kill him and the baby. She even told Aktio to get an abortion or she would "do one for him." I'm sorry Ikki, I wanted to say something but I was afraid that you'd be angry at me for telling you."
At this point the boys were walking down the stairs to the party. After finding out that simca was the one who drew a further wedge between them, the young crow was now even more depressed and angrier than before. He was glad that he knew the truth but it hurt. He understood that naturally the truth hurts but this was beyond brutal.
"I'm not mad that you told me. But you should have told me this a little earlier. But its not like it matters, he hates me and wants nothing to do with me."
"Come on, you don't know that." Kazu tried to cheer up his friend. But it didn't seem to work.
"You don't get it do you, Kazu. Akito hates me. He even lied about cheating on me. I don't know if he knows that I know the truth but god dammit why did he have to do that? Doesn't he know that I love him more than anything else in the world? Doesn't he know that I'd do anything for him and our baby? And that I want absolutely nothing to do with simca? Sure I was blinded by her good looks in the past, but what I feel for Akito is ten times better than what simca could ever give me! And If he were here right now I'd tell him all this and I'd give him this." Then he shows his friend a flashy and extravagant diamond ring. That was when Kazu realized how serious the crow really was.
Damn, I didn't think Ikki felt that strongly about him! He thought. Then they saw a familiar face standing at the door. The emotion on Ikki's face looked like he felt everything at once; happy, sad, angry, scared, upset, confused, excited, and damn near every emotion in the book. Knowing that they needed some time alone, Kazu left them to talk things out.
"I-ikki-kun." Akito started. Soon tears began to fall from his golden eyes, he ran into an embrace from his former lover. "I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry…"
Ikki didn't know what to say to him. What could he say? After all it had been a very long time since they even saw each other. But deep in his heart he knew that he couldn't be angry at his Akito. It wasn't his fault.
"It's all right." He said, still holding the expecting boy in his arms. "It's all gonna be alright."
