[[ Reunion ]] - Closed for Akashi
@checkmxte
It hadn’t been an easy choice to make, and Shuuzou wasn’t exactly happy with the final decision... However he had to keep reminding himself it hadn’t been his choice to make.
His entire life revolved around his family. Since the day he pulled his head out of his ass and realized his father and his little siblings relied on him, he had begun to live and breathe for their sake and theirs alone. He worked to pay the bills to keep their father in the best hospital he could, he was both mum and dad to the little boy and girl he looked after, every free day was spent in the ICU keeping his father company ... Everything had been for them. So to be told his well oiled machine was about to fall apart, he hadn’t exactly been happy.
He wasn’t sure what was the catalyst for the change. Perhaps it was that his father realized his son needed his own life, or in seeing that he had found someone who made him happy though the ties had to be cut... Whatever it was, Shuuzou had not been prepared to be told his father wanted to move to an assisted living hospital on the main land; he wanted to remove himself as a burden from his son, both physically and financially as this facility accepted what insurance he did have.
The former captain had argued, of course he had. His entire life and plans lay centered around his father so to be told he was being removed from the equation was... Hard. But as he had to keep telling himself it hadn’t been his choice to make so with reluctance he’d accepted.
Akashi had been a godsend. The man he had allowed into his life, and his heart had been more than willing to make the transition as easy as possible. With the redhead already making a move to Bellevue, Shuuzou had decided to follow suit with the children now completely in his legal custody. The arrangement however at first, hadn’t been ideal. Shuuzou needed to accompany his father to the main land to get settled but knew it was a trip that would be nothing but tiring and upsetting for Hinata and Hana so he had left them with Akashi, who promised to get them settled in their new city and schools while he handled the rest. 2 months apart had been hell, Skype calls and phone calls only doing so much to ease the pain in his chest at three of his most important people being an ocean away. Though the separation was finally ending and at last, he was coming home.
Never in his life had a two hour plane ride felt that long before. When he finally made his way through his gate to the luggage carousals where he knew Seijurou was waiting he had to fight the grin tugging at his lips. Though all sense of composure was lost the moment he turned the corner, dark eyes falling on where his boyfriend stood, one of his siblings holding each of the man’s hands. There it was. His family.
Not bothering to find his bags the man instead rushed forward through the airport, unsurprised to see both Hinata and Hana drop Akashi’s hands to run for him. Scooping each up in one arm, the former captain just held them close as he made his way back towards the shorter man waiting for him. Despite his calm demeanor, Shuuzou could see the excitement fluttering in those mismatched eyes. Public be damed, the man leaned forward, capturing Seijourou’s lips in a kiss that was two months overdue, ignoring the squeals from the kids in his arms about it being gross.
He was home.
