"Keiji! I heard the door open!" Bokuto walked out into the living room. "Keiji?"

Bokuto looked around, holding Emiko on his hip with care. He spotted Akaashi and set the child on the couch. He hurried to pick Akaashi up, worried that he had hurt something. Akaashi startled awake, confused.

"Hey, hey, hey why're you sleeping on the floor silly?"

"Eh... I guess I was too tired to make it to our room in time for me to fall asleep. Sorry about that."

"It's okay!" Bokuto set him on the couch as well. "Did they do the aftercare stuff that I told them about or not?"

"Ah no... I took a bath though. I think. I don't know I was so tired that I couldn't remember anything at all."

Bokuto stared at him. "You mean they didn't take care of you? At all?"

"Pretty much."

"Eh... I don't like that. If they take care of you in that way then you should be able to be taken care of in the other way."

"Koutarou let's not be rude or get angry. Please. I'm tired."

"Right, sorry." Bokuto gave him a glass of water.

Akaashi leaned back and sipped from the glass.

Bokuto picked Emiko up and kissed her head. "Mommy's home."

"Mimi!"

Akaashi smiled. "Mm. Hi princess."

Bokuto snuggled up next to Akaashi, holding Emiko. "She finally said "daddy" to me and it was so cute. She's adorable. I tried to get her to say mommy. She got close."

"Really?"

"Yeah…" Bokuto smiled. "Emmy, can you say mommy?"

"Mimi!"

"Eh. Wrong one. Ma-Ma."

"Mama!" Emiko shouted, smiling.

"Aw." Akaashi smiled. He closed his eyes for a second. "Tired..."

"Ah right. You need to be taken care of. Be right back." Bokuto hurried off and put Emiko in her room. He came back and brought Akaashi to their room.

"Thank you." Akaashi mumbled, taking his shirt off.

"It's okay!" Bokuto picked up the lotion and started rubbing his shoulders. "Here we go…"

Akaashi put his head back and took a deep breath. "Does Tendou just not do aftercare…? Cause he isn't gentle enough. Ushijima is too gentle. It's weird."

"Ah. So you got both of them?"

"Mhmm."

"I thought it would just be Tendou though? That was the agreement."

"Well… something happened so I couldn't be with him."

"What?"

"It's complicated."

"I don't think so. What happened to you?"

"I don't think you want to know."

"But-"

"Please."

"A-ah okay." Bokuto kept rubbing his shoulders, going down and rubbing his waist. He kissed the side of his head. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah. I'm just really tired." Akaashi coughed. "Whew. Sorry."

"It's okay." Bokuto gently kissed his shoulders. "He spotted a small bite and frowned. "He gave you hickeys…"

"He did?"

"Yeah…" Bokuto felt a wave of jealousy come over him.

"I'm so sorry."

"I need to get better faster. I don't like people marking you up. I hate it."

Akaashi turned and kissed him. "No more Tendou then. Or Ushijima. I'll find something else." He coughed again before closing his eyes. "Cold."

Bokuto wrapped him up in a blanket. "I'll get the thermometer."

Akaashi nodded.

Bokuto came back and pressed the thermometer to his forehead. "Oh that's not good…"

"What is it?"

"One hundred and one (37 C). Um…" Bokuto picked up his phone and keys. "I'll be right back. I'm gonna get you medicine and stuff."

Akaashi nodded. "Thank you."

"Of course." Bokuto kissed his forehead. "I love you~"

"I love you too." Akaashi burrowed into his blankets. He watched Bokuto as he left, smiling faintly.

Bokuto was worried and he could see that but he'd smiled. Not his little fake one. He'd been so happy to see Akaashi back home.
