Chapter 20 Reasons (1/2)

Akira tenderly kissed his forehead and wrapped his arms tighter around Hinata's waist to draw the man's head closer to his chest.

The sound of Akira's heart beats stirred Hinata out of sleep with a yawn.

”Morning my Angel.” Akira lovingly kissed Hinata's cheeks.

Hinata groaned at the cheesy nickname. ”Please. Spare me. A night of making love has reduced your chivalry to school girl pet names.”

Akira chuckled.

Hinata was unable to hold back his smile at the man's happiness. His mind was still in a state of having enjoyed his love with Akira to memories of his tender moments with Eiji.

Was it wrong to still hold on to something of Eiji in his heart? He wanted to feel that Akira was his one for the rest of his life. His soulmate had always been Eiji, who was no longer alive for him.

”Thank you.” Hinata snuggled further into Akira's embrace.

His mind wandered to the reason they were up the mountains in a temple habitat.

”Hey, Akira, why are we here?”

Streams of daylight became dark and cold by the cover of dark clouds.

”Tanaka came to me in the shop. Telling me the Kenpeitai were after you. His informant said something about Governor Takaki's transgressions and hunting down loose ends.”

Hinata gasped. He pulled away from Akira to sit up.

The thought of Eiji's father to haunt his life again made his hands shake with a mixture of emotions.

”Why are Ishikawa and Sakamoto here?” His voice quivered with panic.

”I don't know.”

Hinata got up and hastily dressed. His heart racing with the thought of Eiji's coldhearted father.

”Hinata.” Akira tried to calm Hinata down.
