Akaashi looked up from his desk, smelling something completely off. In his doorway Yamaguchi stood, shaking. Akaashi hurriedly got out of his own chair and wrapped Yamaguchi in a hug.

"T-they… they're…"

"Shhhh." Akaashi rubbed Yamaguchi's back. He eased him to the couch and held him. Yamaguchi just cried and cried against him, overwhelmed.

"T-Tsuki doesn't know… I… and… and Suga isn't h-here…"

Akaashi gave him a light squeeze. "I'm here. It's going to be okay."

"What do… do I do?"

"Take a deep breath." He leaned back into the couch. "Just relax for me, okay?"

"It really hurts…" Yamaguchi whined.

"I know." Akaashi got up slowly and opened a bin next to his desk, pulling out a blanket. "Lay down, okay? I'll be right back."

Akaashi gave Yamaguchi the blanket and left his office, going to Bokuto's. Bokuto looked up and smiled. "Hey hey hey! You came to see me again!"

Akaashi sighed. "Koutarou."

"You're giving me the look from that time… Keiji what's wrong?"

"Yamaguchi is in my office." He whispered.

Bokuto got up and followed his mate to the crying boy. Bokuto leaned down. "Hey there…"

Yamaguchi looked up. "B-bokuto?"

"That's me. I just thought you might need a hug." He put an arm up. "Only if you want." Yamaguchi sat up and Bokuto hugged him. "It'll be okay, I promise. You hurt right now?"

"Just my stomach."

Bokuto nodded.

"Tsuki's going to be so mad at me…"

Bokuto furrowed his brows. "Why would he be mad at you for this?"

"B-because… because I wanted a baby so bad my mind tricked my body into showing the symptoms. Plus the test showed positive." He started trembling again. "H-he got excited but… but it was... It was a f-false… one… he's going to be so mad at me…"

Akaashi immediately bent down and took Yamaguchi from Bokuto and held him tightly. "No. This isn't your fault in the least. If Tsukishima gets mad at you he doesn't deserve you."

"W-we can't try anymore. That's why too."

"Hm?"

Yamaguchi sniffed. "I… I can't have… kids. I'm practically infertile…"

Akaashi sat on the couch and pulled Yamaguchi to himself. He rubbed his back, letting out a calming scent. "You need to rest, okay? Just lay here against me and go ahead and take a nap."

"You sure?"

"Of course I am." Akaashi ran a hand through Yamaguchi's hair. "It's okay."

Bokuto stood there watching. "Do you need anything?"

Akaashi nodded. He lowered his voice. "Can you get me a bottle of water? He cried a lot and it kind of dehydrates people…"

Bokuto nodded and got one from Akaashi's bag. He gave it to him.

Akaashi thanked him and set it down, returning to rubbing Yamaguchi's back and hair. It kept the younger boy calm. Soon Yamaguchi fell asleep, relaxed on Akaashi's chest.

Akaashi just held him, worried sick for him.

He reminded him of his self just a few months beforehand. "Koutarou?"

"Yeah?"

"Tonight I'm taking care of Emiko instead of you."

"Um-"

"No. No we're not having a discussion about that. I'm taking care of her."

Bokuto nodded. "Got it chief." He leaned down and kissed Akaashi. "Love you."

"Mm. Love you too." Akaashi shifted. "Go ahead and try and find Suga. He's going to be back soon from his break."

"Of course." Bokuto kissed Akaashi's hair. "See you later alligator."

"Not saying the rest."

Bokuto leaned back down and bit Akaashi's nose. "Jerk."

"Ow." Akaashi flicked him. "Asshole."

"Nope." He bit Akaashi's nose again. "I love you~"

"Ow. Koutarou." Akaashi slapped the side of his head. "You'll wake Tadashi."

Bokuto pouted. "You never give me affection."

"Koutarou. Stop."

Bokuto huffed and walked out.

Akaashi rolled his eyes. He'd figure that out later. But for now he had a heartbroken boy laying on him.

****

Akaashi looked at Yamaguchi, wondering what he was thinking. It was only Tsukishima standing there. He shouldn't be scared.

He'd just given the news to Tsukishima and the blonde was standing there, thinking to himself.

Akaashi rubbed his shoulder. "It's going to be okay…"

Yamaguchi nodded. "Tsuki…"

"He's right." Tsukishima looked at Yamaguchi. "It's going to be okay." He wrapped Yamguchi in his arms.

Akaashi stepped away as the smaller of the two started crying. He knew how to handle mood swings well due to Bokuto being bipolar so he knew this time to leave him alone.

Speaking of Bokuto, he needed to see what was wrong with him.

Akaashi walked into Bokuto's office. "Ko."

Bokuto looked up. He frowned and looked back onto his desk. Akaashi walked over and leaned down.

"Hey there…" Akaashi smiled. "You okay?"

Bokuto looked away, huffing at him.

"You want to be left alone?" Akaashi whispered.

"Yeah."

"Okay." Akaashi stood back up and kissed Bokuto's temple. "I love you."

Bokuto closed his eyes. "Mhmm."

Akaashi nodded, walking out of the room.

****

Bokuto turned his head and saw Akaashi half asleep, curled up on the couch. In his arms was a pillow that he'd stolen from Bokuto playfully a while ago.

He leaned over and kissed his forehead. "I needa get you to bed."

"Mm."

Bokuot lifted him up and set him in bed before getting Emiko from the living room and putting her in her bassinet. It was just about time for her to eat again so he got a bottle and went to his room.

A soft snore emitted from under the blankets a few feet away and he smiled.

He sat down on the floor next to the window, watching the leaves outside rustle in the wind. Emiko whined in his arms, wanting to be fed already. "Shhhh. Shhhh…"

Bokuto eased the bottle down, getting her to latch on. Emiko drank, huffing and grabbing the bottle.

"You're hungry…" Bokuto shifted. "You're so cute."

Emiko whined.

"What's wrong? All done?" He pulled the bottle away and put it next to him. He grabbed a small towel and put her on his chest, burping her. When he was done with that he just sat there, staring at the little girl in his arms. "You really do have his eyes…"

Emiko cooed up at him.

"Yes, yes silly girl I'm right here." He kissed her head. "I'll always be here for you. I've got you." He started rocking her back and forth. "I've always got you and mommy. I love you guys so much."

Emiko started to drift of in Bokuto's arms, holding his shirt loosely.

"I really do love you guys… a lot. My little sweethearts. And don't worry I'll hold your hand extra tight to lead you. I'll be your eyes." He stood slowly and put Emiko in her bassinet. "I love you. Night night my little Emmy…"

He crawled into bed and Akaashi subconsciously rolled over, to Bokuto. Bokuto chuckled.

"Sorry for not saying I love you earlier. Tadashi was reminding me of how you had been and it made me a little upset. But I do love you." Bokuto closed his eyes, clasping one of Akaashi's hands in his.
