Bodyguard part 55

Sho winced as he tended to the wound on his arm. Gorou had managed to get one of Satoshi’s knives and although he wasn’t a skilled attacker welded with enough force the mad man had been able to get him in the arm once or twice. He hadn’t deemed the cuts worthy enough to go to the hospital but now he was feeling rather woozy and the pain was more intense than he had been anticipating. The prince was alive though and Gorou was not meaning that he could consider this a win though there was going to be a lot of explanations that would need to be done. And of course there was the matter of Masaki. The idol hadn’t been right since the death of his beloved pet cat and the kidnapping of his friend. He didn’t smile any more drifting around the rooms in a daze only leaving to go to the hospital.

“Sh-Sho-chan? Are you okay?” Masaki asked shakily and Sho turned to see his charge in the doorway his face was pale and there were bags under his eyes. He looked so vulnerable that Sho felt that he and Satoshi were justified in the amount of force that they had used on Gorou though there had been no doubt about that from the moment he had broken into the apartment and seen the prince drugged on the sofa. “Your arm is bleeding…”

“It’s nothing, Masaki…”

“…He…He did…Why didn’t you go to the hospital?” Masaki asked storming over and glaring at him the best that he could with his pale but beautiful face. The concern in the light honey brown eyes was more than he had ever seen in his direction before and, that it was there after all the teen had been through these last few days, Sho couldn’t stop himself from reaching out and wrapping him in a hug. It had been a long time since had hugged anyone, the last time being his sister before he left for the army and the warmth that he felt coming from Masaki, more so when the idol wrapped his arms around him in turn, was brighter and warmer than the summer sun. Masaki’s face rested on his shoulder pressed half into his neck as he started to cry for the first time since Whisky had died and to his surprise Sho joined in. He didn’t give the huge broken sobs that Masaki gave but tears silently rolled down his cheeks and off of his chin.

“I’m sorry that I let it get that far, Masaki…I should have stopped him before he hurt you…”

“It’s not your fault Sho-chan…” Masaki breathed through his tears his hands holding onto him a little more tightly his nails cutting into the skin on his shoulder through the cotton of his shirt. Sho breathed shakily for a few moments recovering himself before he pulled himself away looking at the idol again. Masaki gave him a watery smile his eyes going to the wound on his arm before saying with more brightness and determination than he had shown in days “…Sit down…Don’t worry! I did a first aid course…”

“I trust you Masaki-chan…” Sho smiled sitting down and for the first time in days a smile filtered over the idol’s face sweet face.

“…Me too, Sho-chan…I trust you…Um…Sho-chan…You…Will you be staying now…Now that…Gorou isn’t a threat anymore…”

“I’m yours for as long as you want me Masaki-chan…” Sho told him the tips of his ears going red as he realised how that sounded. Masaki didn’t seem to notice though as he carried the first aid box over to the table and set about changing the dressing on his arm. “Masaki...I…I…I…”

“Careful Sho-chan that this might hurt…”
