Worthless

"There is no such worth in you…"

~*~*~*~

Akihito gasped and sat up in his bed panting. Those horrible words' repeating in his head over again as he did so; there is no such worth in you. He closed his eyes calming his breathing as he did. No, it's wrong, it's wrong; I do have value. Akihito didn't even believe himself as he thought it.

"Nightmare?" A cool voice asked and Akihito jumped again.

"Asami, what are you doing here?" He exclaimed immediately fearing for his ass. Asami chuckled softly.

"Relax, I don't have time to fuck, I just came to check up on you." Akihito relaxed visibly at his words.

"Oh." The photographer glanced at his clock, it read three thirty am. "Don't you sleep?" Another chuckle met his words.

"I don't need to."

"Hn." Silence followed, Akihito's thoughts returned to his dream.

"So did you have a nightmare?" Asami asked again. Akihito shook his head.

"A memory doesn't qualify as a nightmare." Akihito told him, his tone telling Asami to drop it.

"What memory?" The photographer rolled his eyes; somebody can't take a hint.

"'There is no such worth in you.' You aren't the only person who's said that to me you know." Akihito placed his hand on the back of his head, the gesture seemingly as if to hide something that was there underneath his hair. "However, that person knew what they were talking about, not just making a statement that happened to be correct." The boy said glancing at Asami; the man raised an eyebrow.

"'That happened to be correct'?" He asked. Akihito shook his head, not answering, after all, the information was need to know and Asami didn't need to know. A knock on the door kept Asami from asking further and he watched Akihito move to answer the door, a tall blonde stood there and greeted Akihito as if the two were very close; not many men would greet one another with a kiss.

~*~*~*~

Akihito pulled away after the quick peck he had exchanged with his visitor.

"Soubi, it's been a while!" He exclaimed excitedly, the long haired man chuckled in response and rubbed Akihito's head.

"Seems it has been." He commented pointedly, confusing Asami as Akihito blushed.

"It's none of your business; keep your hands to yourself!" He snapped. Soubi laughed.

"Sorry, however I am afraid I need your assistance. Due to certain circumstances I am unable to return home, may I stay with you for a while?" Akihito shrugged.

"If you don't think it'll be too awkward." He answered; Asami raised an eyebrow as Soubi smiled warmly.

"We're ex.'s not enemies; it'll be fine, besides…" He gave Akihito's head another rub. "We're both adults here now." Akihito turned and walked toward his room angrily.

"You're sleeping on the couch." He called over his shoulder the man stared at his back oddly, when the photographer received no reply he turned back and asked. "What's wrong, Soubi?"

"I thought yours was visible." Akihito stiffened and answered quickly.

"No, remember, you're thinking of when Kio gave me a haircut and basically tried to shave me bald, I couldn't even wear extensions for the longest time." He told the man.

"Oh yes, now I remember…"

"Night, Soubi." Akihito said pointedly. "Night, Asami."

"Night." The two men chorused as Akihito closed the door and locked it with an audible click behind him.

"Guess he doesn't want either of us in his bedroom." Soubi mused then shrugged. "But I have someone so I won't bug him, he must know that so…" He glanced at Asami and smirked. "It's you." He laughed softly and laid down on the couch. "Let yourself out when you like." Soubi fell asleep instantly.

~*~*~*~

Akihito flung open the door to his apartment the next day around twelve; he couldn't take the constant knocking anymore, even though he knew who was on the other side of the door.

Natsuo and Youji grinned at him evilly.

"Why can't you leave me alone?" The photographer begged; the Zero twins weren't on his favorite people list.

"Hey worthless!" They chorused. "Soubi told us not to go home and said he was crashing at your place so we decided to too!" Akihito groaned loudly at their declaration.

"No, you are not living with me, I refuse." He growled lowly. Youji and Natsuo exchanged smirks.

"Well," Natsuo began sliding to his right side and wrapping an arm around his waist. "You know…"

"We have ways," Youji said sliding to his left and copying Natsuo's action. "Of making you agree." Both of the Zero twins kissed his cheeks at the same time.

"We aren't opposed to a threesome, but," Natsuo left off and Youji picked up.

"Your boyfriend might mind." Akihito stiffened knowing full well exactly how the situation appeared to the guard Asami had watching him right now.

"Fine! But you better explain this to him or I'll kill you." He said shoving the maniacal twins into his apartment and closing the door behind them and himself. He could practically hear the guard dialing Asami outside.

~*~*~*~

The door opened before Asami even knocked and he found himself being greeted by the man named Soubi.

"Akihito said to tell you he isn't coming out of his room until the Zero twins straighten out the misunderstanding." Soubi told him with a smirk. "He then proceeded to mutter something about it not being safe for his rear." The long haired man stepped out of Asami's way and led him to where two boys sat on the couch looking bored with signs hanging around their necks that read 'Not to move or speak until they straighten out all the shit they've caused.' Asami raised an eyebrow at the signs.

"…?" The two boys looked up instantly, as Asami entered and watched them curiously.

"This the guy?" One of the boys asked Soubi and the man nodded. "Sorry dude, we just needed a place to stay, and blackmailing Aki's the easiest." He said shortly.

"Okay." Asami answered having heard everything that had happened on the way over, he did have Akihito's apartment bugged. The bedroom door creaked open and Akihito stuck his head out.

"Did you idiots tell him yet?" The two rolled their eyes and pulled off the signs in answer heading for his game consoles. "I guess that a yes." He said slipping out of his room. "Hey, Soubi thanks for watching those two for me."

"You're welcome." Akihito pulled Asami over to the couch and sat down next to the yakuza and Soubi sat on his other side with the 'Zero twins' sitting in the floor in front of them. It struck Asami that the position was almost protective, with Soubi sitting in front of the window and the boys sitting in a way that they could easily reach the door and Akihito was more than capable of jumping over the back of his couch; like they're expecting an attack. He shoved the thought aside quickly; we'd know if Akihito was in danger before he would. Asami turned his attention to the game being played on the screen; Death Chase.
