coming out & Yuichi

As the trio left the Aizawa home they all heaved sighs of relief " Well that went better than expected now we just have to hope it goes as well with my mom " as Mizuki spoke Ichirou and Yuichi smiled at him taking hold of a hand "half the battle is over even if your mom hates the idea you are in your dads care and you have all of us supporting you" Mizuki smiled down at the kindhearted Yuichi " you're right thanks" he would have said more but his eyes fell on the two men standing just in front of them on the sidewalk. " About time you guys came out we were starting to worry we would have to barge in the house soon" Ren's voice spoke in a teasing way full of good humor but Mizuki had caught the seriousness in his eyes as he spoke. "Uncle Yujirou!" Yuichi rushed towards his uncle and hugged him " They got their acceptance isn't that great but now they have to go talk to his mother" Yujirou smiled down at his nephew patting his head " it will be okay we just have to believe in them okay but for now you have to go home your mother is freaking out again" Yuichi looked upset he didn't want to go home he wanted to watch as his brother and Mizuki received blessing by Mizuki's mother, pouting he turned around to face the teens " guess I'll go home then" everyone chuckled as Yuichi pouted kicking up dirt. the four men smiled how much more dear could this young boy become to them " don't worry you can hang out with us again, you know where we live just keep out of trouble and don't give mom a reason to nag at you " Ichirou ruffled Yuichi's hair " don't forget to get all your homework done so we can go out for dinner for your birthday. I'm sure your parents will let you sleep over that night if you keep up all the good work" Mizuki was rewarded with a bright smile as Yuichi beamed up at him " it's a deal!! BYE!!" he turned around and ran off towards his house vowing to get ahead of his class so he could spend as much time with the warm and accepting members of his family.

"Alright let's get it over with as soon as possible my mom should accept it pretty easily " Mizuki sounded more confident then he looked Ichirou smiled at him squeezing his hand "we are in the clear after this no more parents to have to confront but we will have other obstacles you ready to face them with me Mizuki?" whatever insecurities Ichirou had suffered from he had gotten over now he was was beaming with confidence no one would shake his faith in his love not after all he and Mizuki were going through just to be together he knew deep inside whatever troubles may come his way he would never be alone in the fight and that gave him all the strength and confidence he needed.

Mizuki got his looks from his mother Ichirou could see the similarities between the two in an instant "Mother I would like to introduce you to Ichirou Masanobu" Mizuki introduced them the moment they had been seated " it's nice to meet you I heard you were a beauty but I was not expecting you to be so young looking as well as beautiful" Ichirou complimented her while she blushed his mother seemed like a sincere woman Ichirou hoped she would not be too angry over her only child's love interest." oh you are such a charmer, please have a seat I'm Satsuki Aoi" Mizuki had inherited the ability to blush easily from his mother as well . "You said you had something to talk to me about over the phone could it have something to do with this young man Mizuki?" his mother was pretty sharp she smiled at Ichirou as he looked at her surprised " Yes mom, I am going to be moving in with him starting this week " Mizuki's mother had a warmness about her that compelled Ichirou to talk to her in all honesty " I invited him to live with me as my lover we have already spoken to our parents and hope to receive your blessing as well , I have nothing but honest intentions towards your son I truly love him and wish only to make him happy" when Ichirou had finished speaking she had looked at her husband " Look he's not MY son he can be a fagot all he wants I don't care what he does I'm going upstairs to take a nap" Mizuki's stepfather left the room without even looking back. " I guess I don't have a problem with it I just want Mizuki to be happy and it looks like you only want the same thing so it's okay with me go on and be happy together" she stood up and the boys did the same "you can let yourselves out I need to clean up " they knew a dismissal when they heard one having gotten the answer they had hoped for the boys left the Aoi home in high spirits only to return to their new haven where they spent the night celebrating their love with each other until they were too exhausted to love anymore.

Yuichi stopped to catch his breath a block away from the Eden Studio complex. He had not seen his brother or Mizuki for a week since he was so busy studying and getting his grades as high as possible. Having ranked first in his grade his mother had no reason to get in his way , he had been looking forward to tonight all week dressed in the second outfit Ichirou had bought him and he stopped to fix himself up walking slowly the rest of the way. As he reached the building he got this familiar feeling of being followed he had been feeling it since he visited Mizuki's house , as he spotted the two couples waiting for him outside the building he forgot about everything but greeting his favorite people in the world. "Hey Yuichi you're running late for your own birthday celebration!" he stopped right in front of the four men and admired how good looking they were wondering if one day he would be as equally attractive and charming as them. "Sorry it took me longer than I thought it would" Yuichi admitting sheepishly "I couldn't get my tie to look right" he was blushing looking down at his feet while the others chuckled " I think it looks good sport let's get going before we miss our reservation" Yujirou ruffled his hair lovingly before walking towards a waiting limo Yuichi had completely missed in his distraction. "Happy birthday Yu-Kun let's go in style" Ren winked walked over to the door and opened it with a mock bow "sirs" Yujirou chuckled and pouted at his life partner "stealing my thunder are you" it was Ren and Ichirou's turn to laugh at Yujirou " no one could out do your sense of flashiness Uncle Yujirou" he teased before ushering Mizuki to enter the limo before him.

The restaurant was a high class place. Yuichi was amazed at how fancy it was, the food all tasted amazing , conversation flowed smoothly and there was not a single thing he would have changed about the dinner he was enjoying with the two couples other than having someone to love as well. Yuichi would never admit to the men at the table celebrating his birthday with him but he was envious of the guys for the love they shared with each other a love they fought for with everything they had. He just wanted a nice girlfriend he did not want to have to fight for love and be hated but if he loved a man somehow someday he knew he would have a place to belong with these men. " Yuichi I heard you got the top grade of your whole grade that's very amazing" Mizuki was smiling at him with what could only be called pride Yuichi felt warmed by the fact someone was proud of him he blushed knowing he could never admit it was all so he could spend as much time with them as possible. "it's not that great the work is pretty easy in grade 6" Yuichi blushed at the looks the men gave him " you aren't fooling us trying to look all bashful" Ren teased him. The evening was full of good food, drinks and conversations Yuichi was sad to see the sun setting outside " I have club activities tomorrow so I shouldn't stay out too late" he was trying his best not to sulk but he had tried to keep his cool when he had realized he wouldn't be able to spend the weekend with the guys he had both a soccer game and an art fair to participate in. As he tried to hide his disappointment he looked at the table next to theirs and was shocked to realize Mizuki's little brother was sitting there staring at them sending a quick glare at the boy Yuichi turned back to the group "I guess it's too short notice to ask you guys to come watch the match "he twiddled his fork absently waiting for a response."Aw isn't he such a cute nephew unable to ask us from the beginning" Yujirou was smirking " we actually already invited ourselves to your match " Ichirou stated making Yuichi look up shocked " bet you didn't know your brother knew your schedule off by heart since you got it huh" Ren was teasing the brothers sitting next to each other trying to hide their blushing faces.
