My Demon Boss and Other Annoyances part 44

[krystalkatzfics]

 “Nino-chan! You’re home!” Masaki cried happily as Nino stepped into the apartment with Satoshi hot on his heels. The climb up the stairs had winded him a little making his stomach and chest throb from the impact. Masaki’s smile faded somewhat as he took in his friend’s pale face and his lips pursed in worry and confusion “Nino-chan? Are you okay? What happened?”

“Stupid woman walked out in front of the car, we had to stop suddenly, and I hit my stomach on the steering wheel” Nino explained quickly not wanting Masaki to get the wrong idea and think that Satoshi had done something to him. He brushed passed Masaki’s dog, who was more interested in Satoshi anyway, and dropped down into the sofa pulling off the bag with the pups and the thick layers he had been wrapped in. He was thankful Satoshi had given him so many tops to wear knowing that the impact would have been greater without them. He chewed on his lip when he reached his bare skin and then flushed brightly as Satoshi came forward and knelt in front of him.

“What? Who the hell was it? Somebody from around here? I will knock their block off!” Masaki roared loudly, going into instant protective tiger mode, and Nino chuckled just a little before wincing as pain rolled through him. It wasn’t sharp, but it was noticeable, and he chewed hard on his lip hoping that the little life inside was still clinging on. He had a basic idea of how pregnancies happened, and he imagined that the life was still at a stage where it could be easily dislodged.

“It was nobody around here, Ki, I promise. Could you make me and Satoshi a drink? Please? The doctor will be here soon” Nino sighed watching the way Satoshi was staring at his stomach. His eyes hadn’t left it and Nino could tell that he was itching to touch him but didn’t know if his touch would be welcomed. It was so strange, but Nino grabbed the older man’s hand and placed it on his belly. “It will be fine” He whispered, his muscles reacting quickly to the strange hand resting on his stomach. Satoshi’s hand was warmer than he could have imagined given the fact they had just come in from the cold air. The thumb moved gently, tracing patterns over his skin around the red spots that had formed on his pale tummy. Satoshi gave a little nob but wordlessly kept his hand moving and Nino smiled finding himself absently running his fingers through his boss’ hair not knowing what else he could do that would reassure him.

If Masaki was surprised by the level of intimacy they were sharing, he didn’t say anything wordlessly handing them both a coffee before looking at the carrier his dog was now sniffing at. It didn’t take long before the puppies let out little yips and Masaki’s face shone brighter than the sun his eyes shining as he clapped his hands together almost shouting;

“Puppies! You have puppies! Where did you get puppies?”

“We found them this morning by the lake near Satoshi’s house” Nino answered trying his best to ignore the feeling of Satoshi’s hand on his skin and the tightening of his trousers at the feeling. He sipped his coffee slowly and then explained everything that had happened that morning. By the time he had finished Masaki’s eyes were shiny with unshed tears and he was looking at Satoshi as though he had fallen in love with him.

“Oh! Oh! Wow!” The excitable man gasped loudly bouncing up and down “You’re amazing!”

“I don’t do anything, the staff who run the facility are the amazing ones” Satoshi shrugged dismissively but Nino noticed that twin spots of colour had appeared in the man’s cheeks. His hand had stopped moving on his stomach, but it had stayed there spread out over him and Nino realised just how long the man’s fingers were. He had always envied those with long, large fingers, hating his own stumpy ones, but he thought that this was the first time he had seen somebody with such perfect hands. It almost covered the entire width of his stomach.

“You’re so modest, Satoshi-san!” Masaki laughed kneeling down and peering into the carrier “They are so cute! What are you going to do with them?”

“Raise them…” Nino shrugged with a lifted eyebrow unsure what his friend meant by that. “What else would we do with them?”

“It’s gonna be a lot of hard work to raise four of them” Masaki pointed out saying the same thing as the vet and Nino knew they were both right. It would have been more sensible to just take one or two of the little ones but he wouldn’t have been able to chose between them.

“Perhaps but so far they haven’t been much trouble”

“Maybe but you’ve only had them a day. If they do get too much, then I would happily help. But does this mean you’ll be taking leave early?” Masaki asked, and Nino went silent. It made sense for him to leave early but he didn’t want to leave Masaki in the lurch because of the puppies.

“We can take them to work with us. My office is secure and Kazunari can come in and help me at feeding times” Satoshi answered giving Nino’s stomach another gentle stroke before getting up to his feet and taking a sip of his coffee.

“It’s going to be interesting what people say when you come in carrying a bag of puppies, sir” Masaki grinned, and Nino gave a light chuckle being careful not to jolt his stomach anymore than he had done. Satoshi shot them both a playful stare before rolling his shoulders in a shrug.

“Nobody has ever noticed before. Around a month ago I brought a kitten into the office for a week” He told them, and Nino’s mouth dropped open, his mind rolling back to a month ago. It had been before Satoshi’s birthday party. He had sworn that he could hear cat sounds coming from his boss’ office. He had never seen the cat in question leading him to believe that Satoshi had been watching cat videos on his computer.

“What happened to the kitten?”

“Sho took him in. He’s called Masa” Satoshi shrugged and automatically Nino let his eyes go to his friend who paled drastically and then went a lovely shade of red his ears looking as though they were burning brightly. Nino opened his mouth about to speak when a knock sounded on the door. It was short and polite and quickly Masaki got to his feet and hurried over. The door was opened, and the doctor swept in smiling at them for a moment before setting about to do an external exam. Nino grabbed at Satoshi’s hand, hoping that he was right, and everything was going to be okay with the baby.

[bearmiya]

Love this chapter! They become more comfortable with each other. Totally love the way Satoshi touched kazu's stomach

[gambitsfox]

Wonderful chapter! Sho named the kitten after Aiba!? Cute! I thought maybe Aibas dog might be one of those bitches that just start squirting milk if it hears a puppy crying. Then his dog could raise the puppies until they are weaned. Just a thought.
Yes, I was surprised to see this chapter out. Hope you can get something to help you out. But I guess you can still keep writing even if you can't put it in yet. Eventually we will have lots to read! 😁
