It had been awkawrd the day before. they returned so late at night, Nick's father actually noticed and asked where they had been. Nick knew his fatehr too well, he came up with the perfect excuse of his palne was delayed, knowing Christopher wouldn't bother to check at all, and disappeared into his own room. he wasn't sure he could face hisf ather now, not after witnessing how much injury he had inflicted on his beloved.

it was a huge relief when Christopher delcared he would head out to have some fun in the pub, and Nick stayed awwake until he heard the noise from outside. he quietly got out of his own room, and saw his father - quite drunk, just collapsed on the sofa in the living room. Nick of course wouldn't wake Aki to tend ofr his father, his pregnnat love needed the sleep - so he just got back into his own room, pretending nothing's happened.

it wasn't surprise when the next morning, Nick found his father at almost the exact same position as last night. figuring his father probably wouldn't be awake for some more time, and that they would be laerted if he was by the maids, Nick sneaked inside Aki's room, just in time to see him stretch and rub his belly.

Nick smiled and sneaked up his bed, finding his way from the bottom fo the bed and crawled up, pushing his head through the comforter to appear in frotn of Aki, sharing his pillow. "good morning lovely." he smiled at him. "how's your night?" he did notice Aki seemed to be walking with a pronounced waddle, his hand rubbing consntatly at his back last night - perhaps his stepdad had been quite fatigued by their reunion sex.
