Sakurai’s bad mood was lessened when he came home and found that Masaki was laughing loudly. He had spent hours walking around after he had seen the bloated walrus trying to get rid of the disgust and anger that was raging inside of him. He wanted to clear his mind before he saw Masaki again it hadn’t worked but seeing Masaki laying on his stomach laughing as Marquis played with his hand made the anger fade a little and he was able to smile.

“I’m back” He said and Masaki turned to face him scrambling to his feet the amazingly beautiful smile staying on his face as he said in a husky voice

“Welcome home Sho-sama!”

Sakurai smile grew as he dropped a quick kiss on his forehead as he removed his tie and jacket forcing the words Fujiyama had said away. His boy was safe here and once he convinced Masaki to testify they can get on with their lives while the rest of his miserable fat life will be behind bars.

“Did you speak to Nino?” He asked sitting in the sofa and Masaki flopped down beside him nodding

“He’s just left when Matsu-sama came to collect him”

“Matsu-sama?” Sakurai repeated in amazement,

“He said I was allowed to call him Matsu…” Masaki said with a blush, “Nino-chan… He explained to me about love and the different types… He told me that he loves Matsu-sama…He also said that we were friends…” Masaki’s voice was so slow and soft it was like he was trying not to frighten away a bird or a butterfly and Sakurai thought that to his boy a friend was something like that. In one of their stories they had mentioned friends and Masaki hadn’t understood the word until they had talked about it. Masaki had truly believed that he would never find a friend and now Nino had made him one. Sakurai’s feelings towards his ex’s brat changed a little as he decided that he couldn’t be all bad. Though he was a little worried about he had described love “Nino-chan… He said… He said that he would come again and bring his friend so that I can have another friend is… Is that okay?”

“Of course it is…Masaki this is your home too… You can have as many people as you want here and it wouldn’t bother me…” Sakurai said pushing Masaki bangs back with his fingertips startled when Masaki reached up and held his hand saying

“I’m happy with it just being Sho-sama and Marquis at nights…”

“Me too…” Sakurai mumbled in return trying to tell himself that Masaki didn’t know what he was saying, he was just treating him as maybe a friend. But then Matsumoto had said something about Masaki falling in love with him. Before he had thought that he would be okay with that but now he was worried he loved Masaki and he didn’t want him to fall for him just because he thought of him as a substitute master he wanted him to really love him. “Masaki, do you want to take Marquis for a walk? Then we can have dinner out…”

“Umm… Really? That would be okay?”

“Of course…” He said Aiba had her second night off and he had read about a restaurant in the area that accepted pets so Marquis wouldn’t be a problem. Masaki seem to be excited by the idea and he quickly rushed to get ready the pup bouncing around after him excitedly. The air was still warm as they stepped out onto the quiet street, Marquis tried to bark at a few cars but Masaki reined him in quickly

“The little people showed me to do that” His boy said proudly his wide grin spreading on his face and Sakurai nodded knowing that he was talking about the DVD he’d brought him on dog training. They walked around the park with both Marquis and Masaki getting excited when they saw another dog though Masaki was too shy to actually stroke any of them that seem to gravitate towards him as if they could instinctively know that Masaki was a gentle person. There were a few smiles in his direction, some from overly interested women but Sakurai just flashed them polite smiles standing next to his boy making sure they knew who he was with. Masaki played with Marquis as they walked. The evening glow of the sun seemed to give everything a dreamy glow and Sakurai allowed himself to believe that they were a couple just a normal happy couple that were enjoying being on a date which each other.  They headed to the restaurant and he watched carefully as Masaki started to get nervous in the large crowd that was eating but he stroked Marquis’s head until he calmed down.

 The food was nowhere near as good as that served in his normal restaurant but seeing Masaki relaxed was worth it. After the meal it became obvious that Masaki had had enough of people and they took a taxi home paying extra for the dog and as soon as they were back in their apartment Masaki brought out his book resting against his chest as he started reading. He had told Masaki that this was the best part of his day and he hadn’t been lying, he loved listening to him stumble and fumble his way over the words. Each sentence Masaki read without tripping over the words was another step in breaking free from his master. He was about to bring up testifying against him when his phone rang Matsumoto flashing on the screen.

“Masaki, why don’t you get ready for bed, while I take Marquis to the toilet” He said and Masaki nodded snapping the book closed and hurrying into the bathroom while Sakurai took the pup up the stairs to the roof answering his phone as he did so,

“Hello, Jun what’s up?” he said watching the dog as it darted of over the still wet garden.

“I was told you went to see Fujiyama…” Matsumoto said with a greeting anger clearly in his voice and Sakurai kicked a clump of earth that was beside his feet

“What does that matter?” he asked and his ex-lover gave a long hiss in his ear

“It matters a fucking lot… If you weren’t able to control yourself and you punched him…”

“I didn’t, I walked away…” Sakurai cut in, he was close so close to hitting him but he hadn’t and he was actually quite proud of his self-control

“Are you a fucking moron? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to get his bail set so high nobody would be able to pay it unless you decided too? If you fucking attack him in prison there will be a very real chance that this bastard could walk out of prison and skip town…” There was a knife’s edge to the lawyer’s voice and it was tinged with regret. Sakurai wasn’t completely aware of all the details but he knew something had happened last year, it was something about the brat, for Matsumoto to be this upset it had to be something about the brat. There was a case involving a cult and the leader getting away on technicality, his ex had been very angry and bitter with the world for a month or two but that might have been because Nino left him and vanished into the night he had been gone for weeks and then one morning he was back. That was the reason that he couldn’t find it in him to trust Nino but whenever he brought it up Matsumoto would lose it and tell him it had nothing to do with him and sometimes they wouldn’t talk for days.

“I’m sorry… It was stupid… But I just wanted to…”

“What torture yourself? The guy is scum Sho… Stay the fuck away from him and focus on Masaki…” Matsumoto snapped clicking off the phone. Sakurai sighed putting his phone away and calling the dog inside knowing that the lawyer was right he should just have stayed the hell away. He dried Marquis’s paws with a towel and took him to Masaki’s bedroom forcing a smile on his face when he saw his boy already in the bed the book on his lap. He helped Marquis onto the bed and smoothed out Masaki’s hair kissing his forehead before heading back out stopping when he heard

“Sho-sama… I love you…” Sakurai froze in the doorway his hand on the light switch. There was the rustling of blankets and Masaki sat in the middle of the bed with Marquis climbing onto his lap. “I really… love you... Not… the Marquis… kind of love but… But the special… kind of… love…”
