My Demon Boss and Other Annoyances part 87

[krystalkatzfics]

 

“I’m sorry I scared you” Nino breathed softly as he sat in Satoshi’s lap and the older man shook his head his lips barely lifting from his shoulder as he replied;

“It’s not your fault, Kazunari, I’m sorry that I fell apart”

“Don’t be, I was touched…I’ve never imagined you crying…” Nino admitted remembering the feel of the tears soaking into his t-shirt and the way Satoshi had seemed so lost and afraid. He had liked the expression, or rather what it meant, but that didn’t mean it was something he wanted to see again too soon. The next time tears would be in Satoshi’s eyes it would be because their son was born, and he was happy.

“I’ve never done it. Even when my sister passed…I couldn’t cry” Satoshi whispered, sounding as though it was a shameful admission and Nino pressed further back into him wishing that he could comfort him but not knowing how. Satoshi had been with him for every minute of his mother’s videos to him and had held him as he broke down and pulled him back, but Nino had no idea how to do that for Satoshi. “People, Chinen said that I was inhuman…I think he wanted to make me cry…To show any kind of emotion. I was…A robot…”

“You’ve never been a robot Satoshi, you’ve always been…Too adult…You were made to grow up so fast that you never learnt how to process your own emotions. Mum said that the baby will teach us how to be parents, but I think it will teach us a lot about being human too…” Nino sighed knowing that his words were clumsy and ill thought out, but he hoped that Satoshi would feel the emotion behind them. He wanted him to know that there was nobody that he would rather be a parent with. “You are capable of feeling so many emotions, Satoshi, but you’re only just learning how to express them…”

“When I heard that you had fainted and weren’t coming around…I was terrified, I didn’t know what to do but I knew that I had to get to you, I needed to be with you” Satoshi’s arms circled around him so tightly that Nino was convinced that he was refusing to ever let him go again. As much as he liked the idea of that, of never being out of Satoshi’s arms he knew that it wasn’t practical. Eventually Satoshi’s arms released him, and he sighed breathing shortly through his nose before letting out a long breath and whispering like he was making confession “For a wild moment I hated the baby inside you Kazu…I’m sorry…I thought…I thought that if it was taking you away from me, I hate it…I’m sorry…I didn’t mean…How could I think that?”

“It’s normal Satoshi…Your mind can make you think all manner of horrible things when it’s scared, the baby knows that you didn’t mean it, I know that you didn’t…” Nino wriggled in the man’s lap, so he could look him in the eye. “I sometimes think I hate them too…When I feel sick or am being sick or feel too hot or constantly need the bathroom. It’s always just a passing thought and you had more reason than me…But then I remember that they are the reason that I’m with you, that I could get to know you and fall in love with you…”

“Kazu, I…” Satoshi stopped speaking sharply as a knock sounded on the door. It sounded three times before opening and their doctor came striding in with Masaki trailing after him like a puppy. The man reached the sofa and sighed a long drawn out sound that was more playful than serious.

“What have you gotten up to today?” The man asked settling himself down carefully onto the coffee table in front of them and Nino reluctantly admitted;

“…I fainted…Again…”

“Okay, I suppose we should start with your blood pressure…” The doctor pulled out the device from his bag and Nino frowned at it. He hated the way the stupid thing squeezed at his arm and pinched his skin and he quickly tried to get out of having to suffer it by saying swiftly;

“It’s fine, that isn’t the reason I fainted. I just haven’t been eating…”

“Why?”

“Because I feel sick…I’m not being sick, but I feel sick…” Nino gave a shrug. “I want to eat, I feel hungry and stuff but when it comes to actually eating my stomach just rolls…”

“I see, is it all foods or just select ones?”

“Mostly it’s the food I used to really like…I mean yesterday I was fine, we had a BBQ and I ate huge burgers…But today…Even the thought of it is making me feel sick…” Nino admitted quickly putting his hand of his mouth in an attempt to stop what had been some of the best burgers he’d have from making a reappearance on Satoshi’s office floor.

“It’s not uncommon in chronic morning sickness, unfortunately, the tablets stop the physical reaction, but the feeling is still there…I still want to check your blood pressure sometimes a high blood pressure can make you feel sick and yours isn’t in the best…”

“Urgh…Fine, get on with it…” Nino mumbled weakly wriggling off Satoshi’s lap and getting ready for the hateful machine. The doctor wrapped it around his bicep and began pumping air into the arm band. It took a while but soon enough it was feeling uncomfortably tight around him. The doctor studied the numbers and then clicked his tongue.

“These haven’t improved half as much as I would like. Are you stressed about anything at work or…” His eyes moved to Satoshi and Nino shook his head before stopping and biting on his lower lip saying;

“Satoshi is going through a divorce. His ex showed up at the house yesterday…”

“Well that would certainly count as stressful and not what you need right now. I am going to suggest that you get away from the office for a few days, Nino-san, Ohno-san if you can…” The doctor hummed surprising them both. “If you are both able to take some time off together…Maybe go to a hotel out of the city if you can. Relax for a bit somewhere your ex can’t find you”

“Your prescribing me a holiday?”

“I would do the same for anyone with your blood pressure. You need to relax, get a massage. You’re still in the first few months of your pregnancy and it’s only going to get more complicated and stressful from here on out. So, get away and enjoy yourselves as a couple for a while…Who knows we may have you healthy before they truly difficult months…”

I want my doctor to prescribe me a holiday!

Wonder where they will go....

💙💛

Road trip! I know Nino thinks anything in doors is a vacation with his games but where will Ohno take him? Beach, mountains, woods, old town, country inn, or spa? I vote for the spa! Unless hot water is bad for unborn babies. 😊💙💛
