THANKS to the others, they found out a way to get a safety life boat and save all three of you from the wrecking ship.

Kato lays himself on the comfortable couch in the living room and sighs, finally relaxed. "Blockhead.. life really is full of crap." he closes his eyes but doesn't seem like he is sleeping.

"Just realized that right now?" you were busy eating instant noodles across the kitchen with an oversized, soft sweater wrapper around your weak figure.

Your phone suddenly rang, your instincts are tingling- it was a call from Usai, the bastard's butler back in the mansion.

You didn't want to pick it up but second thoughts told you that it was only disrespectful to do that. Your finger presses the green button.

"Hello?" your voice sounded so intentionally inaudible to hear.

"Mrs. Kambe!"

Your eyebrows rose up, you facepalmed when you heard him address you in that way. Even you brother heard it on the other corner of the room while grinning, how idiotic honestly.

"W-What is it?" you softly grunt, forcing yourself to sound less annoyed or pissed.

"Can you please come back here in the mansion for master? We all want to help and take care of him but he doesn't want to budge at all. He won't listen to anyone."

You hummed in acknowlegdement as you play with the strands of your hair, a dying and fatigue feeling is already pulling you down. "Please, Mrs. Kambe."

Kato flinched, almost fell down on the couch when you suddenly stood up and threw the chopsticks along with the empty cup of instant noodles on the side.

He saw you aggressively hurling your phone somewhere with a stressed-out looking face. "Why'd ya look so triggered or someth-"

You grabbed your purse, multitasking of putting your shoes on while dashing outside the apartment; a lot of pressure and heavy burdens on your shoulders.

He was laid like some weakling on the queen-sized bed, weary pinned his body down. An exotic sigh escapes your lips as you placed down your purse somewhere.

(POV: you're haru/ lol jk i randomly found this rare pic of him)

You heard someone did several knocks, when the door opened; you saw Usai holding a first-aid kit, he gave it to you and whispered a small and sincere thanks for being a life savior.

You were hesitating a lot and you just wanted to go home but part of you says no, its like you just wanna go home but at the same time you didn't want to. Its complicated.

After silently sitting at the edge of the bed, a fair distance to you and him; you started treating all his exposed bruises as gentle as you could.

You could just aggressively rub his bruises with the ointments though.

"Stop pretending to be asleep, its kinda stupid." you snickered while wrapping his right arm with a white gauze bandage, its always been like this; you'll be the answer to the problems.

He rubbed his eyes with his left hand and groaned in pain, he stares at his well-wrapped and finished right arm.

Got startled when he suddenly intertwined his delicate fingers with yours and closed his eyes, he still looked extremely helpless.

"I have an idea so that you won't have a chance to sign the papers."

"What kind of audacity is that?" you rolled your eyes at him. Is this really what he is supposed to be thinking when he is all bruised up like hell?

He pulls you down beside him, not caring if moving will only pain his body. You couldn't get up because of his strength, and also because you were already exhausted about everything that has happened.

"If you do it with me already, you can't help but not sign it anymore."

"Do.. what?"

His finger slowly makes its way up on your lips, he softly brushes it with a tiny and naughty smile. "If you let me remove your innocence, I guess. I'll just say it in a less dirty way."

You didn't know what he mean't by that, but its probably the most idiotic thing a dweeb has to say.

"Oh, and you came for me. Does that mean you still love me?" he asks, and your response was just long lingering of pure silence; a complex response for short.

He smiles, a smile beaming with light that touched his eyes. What a rare sight honestly, feels like a blessing. "I'll take that as a yes."

"No."

"Stop lying, amorcito. Its too adorable for my wounded heart to handle."

"..what."

He suddenly turned his body to face you, he stared at you with this cute yet childish expression. "I'm glad you're back to me." this sudden statement made your cheeks flutter in bright crimson, don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

You turned away from him, trying to hide your face while questioning; "Can I leave?"

"Do you want to?" his deep voice was so alluring, attractive.. you name it.

Took you a pause first before answering, "Not really."

You can tell he felt and sounded sort of satisfied with your response, you weren't really thinking when you said that.

"But are you and Suzue.. really.."

He sighed in frustration and pulled your figure towards him, there was so much space around but he only compressed you to him even more.

"Why are you still thinking that?" he squeezes your cheeks, kind off made it swollen making you whine. "I'm already married to you so I can't be engage to anyone else, there's no logic behind that."

"But do you really want to stay with me?"

He glared at you, irritation defined the point in his eyes.

"Stop asking obvious questions, I wouldn't ask someone to lost their v-card with me for the millionth time if I don't want them to stay." you suffocated when his muscular arms wrapped around you.
