"Wakatoshi-kun...."
The guy wearing a lab coat looked at their direction, showing a stern look on his face, not wanting to see Sakusa and Atsumu arriving at his clinic.
"Sakusa, my clinic is closed now and I'm about to go home already." Ushijima said as he closes the shelves behind him after making an inventory of the medicines.
"Atsumu, sit on the bed at the right corner while waiting." Sakusa said ignoring the other's rejection of him.
Ushijima just sighed and went inside his kitchenette to boil some water. Meanwhile, Sakusa grabbed a towel from a cabinet, iodine solution, a cord that can be used as tourniquet, a metal coat hanger that will be used as a probe, forceps, needle and a thread, a scalpel and anesthetic medicines from the shelves earlier. He sat next to Atsumu and helped him untie the hankie he used to temporarily stop his wound from bleeding. He grabbed the cord and tied it around Atsumu's shoulder and used the iodine solution to sterilize the wound.
"You're so good with this, it kinda scares me." Atsumu said while laughing.
"It's just.... I always do this most of the time with myself since I was a kid." Sakusa explained.
"You mean you get shot on different parts of your body since you were a kid?" Atsumu jokingly said.
"Yeah"
"Wait w-what?"
Ushijima enters the room with a bowl on both of his hands containing the water he boiled earlier and placed it on the table beside Sakusa.
"Have you sterilized it already?" Ushijima asked.
"Yeah. Should we use local anesthetic instead?" Sakusa asked.
Ushijima just went out of the room and went back, bringing an injection with anesthesia on it and held Atsumu's shoulder and slowly injected it in him. He used the metal coat hanger to probe for the bullet, as soon as he finds the bullet, he used the forceps to grasp the bullet and remove it out from Atsumu's shoulder. After sterilizing it, he grabbed the needle with a thread on it and sew the skin together and finally patching it with a bandage.
"There you go. Just don't forget to sterilize it and change the bandage everyday so that it won't cause any infection." Ushijima said as he clean up the used cottons and excess bandages on the table.
"The anesthetic medicine he injected in you earlier will make you sleepy so rest in here for a while. I also need to talk to him about some matters so you can take your time to relax." Sakusa said waiting for Atsumu to close his eyes who seems to be so tired from today's incident.
He closed the curtains around Atsumu's bed and sat next to Ushijima who's drinking his coffee while reviewing his patients' record for the day.
"What kind of dispute have you encountered today that made that man injured? And why aren't you with Kita today? He's most of the time with you when you visit me in here with lots of your men either injured, shot or on the verge of dying." Ushijima asked still not looking at Sakusa.
"Wakatoshi, wanna have sex with me?" Sakusa blurted.
Ushijima stared at Sakusa with a disgusted look on his face for a minute and went back sipping his coffee.
"I think that's a no again." Sakusa chuckled.
"How many times do I need to be rejected so that you will allow me just to touch you?" Sakusa added.
"Stop messing around. You already knew I'm in a relationship and yet you keep flirting with me, that kinda disgusts me." Ushijima answered.
"Doesn't he have any plans going back here in Japan?" Sakusa asked while peeping at the papers Ushijima is holding.
"No. He doesn't have any spare time to go back in here so I visit him in Paris instead."
"So he doesn't give you his time and yet here I am begging for you to give me attention." Sakusa said as he light his cigarette.
"He's not as fake as you are."
Sakusa blew out the smoke through his mouth and smiled at Ushijima.
"I thought so too."
Sakusa stubbed out his cigarette onto his pocket ashtray and stood up.
"I killed Kita." Sakusa said while facing his back to Ushijima not wanting his face to be seen.
"How many years do you think we've been together? I know when you're lying or not. Next time, try looking at the face of the person you are talking to instead of turning your back. I also know you're sex deprived when you're stressed out that's why you asked me to do it with you earlier." Ushijima said as he went back from reviewing.
"Isn't that last part rude? Don't you even trust me when I say I love you that's why I'm asking you to do it with me?" Sakusa said as he stare at Ushijima's face while grabbing both of his shoulders.
"No and No. It disgusts me a lot so I'm here to advise you to stop doing it or else you'll catch an illness that can't be cured. You're also the type of guy who doesn't fall in love so I doubt if you're serious or not." Ushijima said as he grab Sakusa's hands off of him.
"Yeah yeah I know. I'm always using protection and even sanitizing myself after so no need to worry Dr. Wakatoshi."
Sakusa was about to go out of the office but Ushijima grabbed Sakusa's hand and said something that made him frozen.
"Wanna live with me and escape from all of your sufferings?"
Sakusa just chuckled and said,
"You want me to die in the hands of my own father?"
Ushijima loosened up his grip on Sakusa's hand and apologized to him because of his stupid suggestion.
"Bold of you to invite me in your house knowing I have motives to mess you up." Sakusa laughed loudly and patted Ushijima's shoulder.
"I also don't want to be killed by your partner knowing that guy is more dangerous cause no one knows what he is thinking. " Sakusa added.
"He's not weird." Ushijima defended.
"I didn't said anything like that."
Sakusa went out of the office and sat next to Atsumu that was secretly listening to their conversation while pretending to be asleep. Sakusa lightly tapped Atsumu's face to wake him up and go home but Atsumu waited for a while in case Sakusa goes back to Ushijima to talk about something that will help him on the case.
The door suddenly opened that made a loud banging noise and one of Sakusa's men entered and said,
"Boss, your father is in the mansion right now looking for you. We need to go back quickly!"
"I knew this will happen" Atsumu thought. "With everything that happened today, there's no way he won't let his heir not to be punished."
Sakusa grabbed his coat on the coat hanger stand and grabbed his gun on top of the table next to the medicine shelves.
"You're leaving?" Ushijima said as he poke out his head on his office's door.
"He came." Sakusa answered.
"What are you going to do with him?" Ushijima said as he pointed at Atsumu who's still pretending to be asleep. "I need to close the clinic for today because I have plans tomorrow."
"Just throw him away."
"You're indebted to him, aren't you?"
Sakusa was stopped from opening the clinic's door because of what Ushijima said and he looked at him with an angry face.
"Damn you."
Sakusa ordered his men to carry Atsumu out of the clinic and told them to let him rest at the back of the car.
"Should we drop him off at the flower shop?" One of his men asked.
"No, we don't have much time. Drive as fast as you can so we can arrive at the mansion as quickly as possible."
Sakusa's driver started the engine and stepped on his gas causing the car to speed up that made them arrive at the mansion twelve minutes later. Sakusa ordered his men to carry Atsumu and told them to take the back door instead to avoid being seen by his father. Sakusa went inside of the mansion and saw his father sitting at the long table that is used when different yakuza clans have meeting. As soon as Sakusa entered the room, his father signaled his men, that are most likely twenty of them with him, to go outside of the room.
"Father, it's been a while." Sakusa said still bowing his head infront of his father.
His father stubbed his cigarette on the ashtray and waved his hand signaling his son to come closer. As soon as Sakusa stood closer to his father, he was suddenly punched on the gut by him that made him collapsed on the floor, coughing and groaning in pain.
"I commanded you to kill the agent, didn't I?" His father said as he pulled Sakusa's hair hard.
Sakusa, who's unable to speak properly because of how hard his father pulling his hair almost breaking his neck, just nodded.
"So why the fuck did you killed Kita?!" His father began kicking different parts of Sakusa's body that cause him bruises and bleeding especially on his head.
"It.... wasn't me..... who killed him." Sakusa said looking at his father's face while coughing out of blood from his mouth.
"You dare to talk back at me, huh?" His father took out a small knife hidden on his ankle, gripped Sakusa's hand tightly and put it on top of the wooden table beside him. He stabbed Sakusa's hand that went through to his palm. Groans and whimpering from Sakusa can be heard from the room and his father doesn't even care, instead he enjoys seeing his son bawling his eyes out and seeing blood flowing out of his son's head and hand causing him intense pain.
"I almost forgot to tell you but I also came here with someone that might be also part of that agency. I need you to interrogate and confirm if he truly is one of them and I need you to take him down if he is."
His father clapped his hands twice and three of his men went inside of the room carrying a man who's filled with blood that is almost dried up already, who seems to haven't ate for a few days and a ring finger that was cut out off him.
"That's him."
Atsumu who saw and heard everything outside of the window, saw a man that was tied tightly with a rope and thrown in front of Sakusa, with his black hair that is cropped short, with a fringe that hangs just above his dark blue eyes. The man who had a sharp glare and an intimidating atmosphere, but now has both of his eyes shut because of the bruises around it and a weak and frail aura he's emitting.
"Kageyama...."
