Sakurai never even dreamed before that one simple trip to the library would cause so many beautiful expressions on one face all at once. He couldn’t help but stare at Masaki’s face. In the few days he had known him he had become convinced that he was the most beautiful man he had ever seen. Even with the unhealthy pale skin and faint scars that crisscrossed over his cheek and chin he was beautiful. The only thing that ruined his face was the fear that was in his perfectly almond shaped eyes. The CEO longed for a day when he wouldn’t see fear in those eyes but just happiness, he had glimpsed it yesterday in the kitchen when Masaki had watched him eat the cookies he had made and now he wanted more. He berated himself for thinking of the teenager like that Masaki had already been through so much in his short life the last thing he needed was another man looking at him like he was an object but he couldn’t help it.

“Masaki…” He murmured stopping when Masaki did turn to look at him, he wasn’t sure what he wanted to say but he felt the need to actually say ‘something’ as the silence in the car was driving him crazy. “Um… You said your master reads to you… What kind of books does he read?”

“Um… He… Sex books…Mostly…” Masaki answered and Sakurai regretted asking, he should have known that it wouldn’t be an ordinary book. It showed that the teenager really was getting his memory back slowly. Every day he was revealing new facts about his life with his master. “Sometimes if he is happy he read stories about superheroes…”

“Superheroes?” Sakurai repeated loving the almost smile the crept over the plump perfect lips. Masaki nodded his hair brushing against the skin of arm. The teenager’s manner changed again and he started shaking a little as he whispered in a heavily shaking voice

“Yeah… One time there was a book… The pictures were so pretty… Master he got mad because I touched it...”

“What did he do?” Sakurai asked his jaw locking with anger and his fist that wasn’t near Masaki clenched tightly as he prayed that Matsumoto and his little brat could find him and he would be able to punish him in the same ways he had obviously been using on this boy. There was still the chance that Masaki had already killed his ‘master’ and if that was the case they would have to deal with it.

“He… There was ice… Water… He held me down…” Masaki’s voice trailed off and he turned to stare out of the window “It wasn’t his fault! I deserved to be punished…”

“Masaki…” Sakurai said softly stroking his shoulder, remembering what Matsumoto had told him, he had to reprogram Masaki. Last night he hadn’t been able to sleep and had spent the night researching his on computer, as far as he could tell there wasn’t a certain way of reprograming a person but most information he had gathered said that he wouldn’t get anywhere if he said anything bad about Masaki’s former master. He used the term ‘former master’ because no matter what there was no way he was letting him go anywhere near him. “Masaki you’re doing so well”

“Sakurai-sama… Thank-you” Masaki mumbled turning back and flashing him a tiny smile. Sakurai returned it just as the car stopped in front of the library. The driver opened the door and slowly they got out. Masaki stood nervously at his side blinking up at the creamy white building.

“Thank-you, I’ll ring when I want you to come back to fetch us” Sakurai told his driver, who gave a polite nod of his head. The CEO could almost feel the surprise that the driver was trying to conceal. He wasn’t the least bit offended by his surprise, after Matsumoto had broken up with him the most Sakurai had had was a few one night stands he didn’t want anybody to get close to him anymore. The driver got back in his car and drove away as Sakurai guided the teenager back up the brick stairs and through the door. Masaki’s breath caught in his throat as his eyes darted around the main section of the library.

It wasn’t a very big library but Sakurai knew that for Masaki it would seem amazing. He led him in and the male librarian looked up from his desk and gave them a smile. Sakurai put a gentle hand onto his back and guided him to the children’s section. Masaki had said that he wanted to see the pictures. There were a few mums with their children in the area but Sakurai ignored the looks they were getting and stepped up to the most colourful looking books and pulled them out giving them to Masaki. “There you go…” He murmured flicking open the first book and showing him the pictures. Masaki’s eyes glimmered with happiness and nervously he half reached out to touch them but stopped himself looking at Sakurai “Its okay… You can look at them and you can touch them if you want to…”

“Thank-you” Masaki replied his fingertips brushing over the picture of the boy with what looked like puss-in-boots.

“Do you want to hear the story?” Sakurai asked watching as Masaki nodded slowly, “Come on then” The CEO led him to a quiet study room which had two bean bags against the wall, Sakurai wasn’t stupid enough to try and sit in them but he sat against them and motioned for Masaki to sit in between his legs so he could continue to look at the pictures while he read him the story. Masaki looked a little nervous but did as he was told. Masaki nestled against him and Sakurai cleared his throat beginning the story.

“There was once a miller who had three sons and when he died his estate was divided between them. The older sons fared very well but the youngest received nothing but the cat and he often complained bitterly of his lot…”

While he read he allowed time for Masaki to study the pictures his fingers moving over the cat and he knew that his gentle boy would never complain about just receiving a cat. He read puss-in-boots, then Cinderella, his throat was dry and his legs gone numb but each at excited breath Masaki let out made his discomfort worth it. He continued to read until Masaki’s stomach rumbled loudly

“I’m sorry” Masaki said quickly holding his stomach and Sakurai closed the book with a thud causing the teenager to finch against him. “I’m sorry!”

“It’s okay” Sakurai told him gently stroking his back to reassure him “Let’s go get something to eat”

“But…” Masaki said his eyes lingering on the closed book of world fairy tales as if it contained the world’s secrets in his hands.

“Do you like that book?” Sakurai asked him softly and the teenager nodded

“The pictures are beautiful” He whispered and Sakurai grinned watching him stroking the cover shyly

“Do you want to take it back with you?” he asked and Masaki looked completely shocked but there was a longing look in his eyes.

“Eh? But… Don’t they stay here?” he mumbled and Sakurai nodded patting the book

“Yes they do but you can borrow them for a time… And maybe while you’re staying with me, I could teach you to read it…” he told him and Masaki looked completely mystified

“I would be able to read it?” he squeaked in a disbelieving voice and Sakurai nodded.

“Yes…Come on” he said getting slowly to his feet and allowing the blood to flow again before heading out of the quiet room. The library had filled up slightly when they had been in there and there were even a few people that seemed to recognise him as being the CEO of Taboo. He guided Masaki to the desk and decided to take out some of the other books he had pulled off the shelves too.

“May I ask if you’re a member of this library” The assistant said to Masaki, as he checked the book out of the database. Masaki looked at his feet shuffling them on the tiled floor.

“No but he would like to sign up… His name is Masaki… Aiba Masaki…”
