Bent not broken

[Tenshi]

Tenshi was soon in the room with the two, a deep scowl on his face as he had heard through Nadja that his grandson had been shot. He glances from Aku to Mik before speaking "I trust you dealt with the bastard that did this to my grandson" he steps closer to the bed to get a better look at the boy laying there, a look of worry on his face but knew that Aku was in good hands. He was starting to think about getting a Kevlar vest for Aku so things like this wouldn't be prone to happen again. "Tell me what happened?"

[Mikhail Stankov]

"Somebody tried to kill you," he answered at once, planting his big hand on the incubus's chest to keep him down. "It vas calculated...zey vere vaiting ven ve went inside. Momo arrived just as the gun vent off."
The door opened and in rushed a stranger, and Mikhail was about to wring the arrival's neck before he revealed himself as Aku's grandfather.
"Ze man who did zis does no longer exist." His words were simple and very matter-of-fact. Of COURSE Mikhail had destroyed the coward who shot Aku.
He reached beside the bed and adjusted Aku's sedative drip. Now that he was awake, he'd need to be weened off of it.

[Akusai Kyoushi]

Akusai thanks to the sedatives was rather endearingly bewildered. and it showed in how he responded. "Oh good job Mikhail. tell my men to comb the city, find out who ordered it. When im up to it ill have more punishment to deal out." he blinked a few times looking from his also pretty grandfather and back to Mikhail. Even his huge hand on his chest was something soothing.He was telling him to stay down and be good an its always what he needed. He glanced down at where he knw the injury to be. "How bad off am I anyway Mikhail-kun?"

[Tenshi]

Tenshi agreed with the matter of having the city scoured. He made it a note to check the body and see if there might be some potential in perhaps finding some answers from the soul if he could determine where it went. A soul was eternal. It might be fun to torture it for a few days to see what kind of information he dug up "Where is this building? I want the body of the would be assassin. I might be able to find out some information from his soul"

[Mikhail Stankov]

Before giving the run-down of the damage to Akusai, Mikhail turned his green gaze to Tenshi. "It vas building about twenty minutes away. I vill give information. Find out vat you can, relay vat you find to me."
He frowned at Akusai, sliding his hand up the incubus's chest and into his thick hair. "Not bad. Off your feet for at least one veek. I recovered bullet fragment from thoracic diaphragm. As pain medication vears off, breathing vill be more painful. . .but it vill pass."
The Russian was still allowing the painkiller to drip into Aku's IV, but it was becoming slower and slower now.

[Akusai Kyoushi]

akusai leaned into Mikhails touch. It was so soothing and the feel of his warmth on his cool cheeky was great. He was makeup-free on this occasion as he had been washed . No patient of mikhails was anything but pristine, and his sweet doe-eyed look of love, the look he only gave Mikhail was obvious while it was normally more sedate. Of course when you cheated death for a man who definitely endeared yourself to him."thank you grandfather and mikhail." the demon's eyes watered up. "Thank you so much, for just being you. Where would i be now, without you?"

[Tenshi]

Tenshi nods slightly, a scowl on his face as he waited for the information to be given to him. Once done he'd look to Akusai and gives him a comforting smile "Where would you be? I'd rather not think about it" he chuckles dryly before looking to Mikhail "I know he's in good hands. And I will be back as soon as I find some information" with that he vanishes to find the body and take it with him so he'd have a body to link a soul to when he went in search of the fool

[Mikhail Stankov]

Mikhail waited until Tenshi left, seeing him off with a nod, before turning his attention back to Akusai. He sat on the side of the bed and leaned over, brushing Aku's hair from his forehead with a gentle movement of his fingertips.
"I vant to get married very soon," he murmured quietly, just searching Aku's bare face with those emerald pools of his. He loved Aku in any form, but bare-faced Akusai was his favorite. All of his expressions were clear and genuine that way. More open.
"I vant to have wedding before baby, so zat I still have time for keeping you all to myself."

[Akusai Kyoushi]

Akusai bare bones was Akusia who had nothing to hide behind. Mikhail speaking about the wedding and having Akusai to himself made his cheeks turn a faint pink. Oh now marriage actually was something entirely legitimate, which made it that much more exciting. Plus because people were more open to it he could really go all out. Even though he was drowsy and drugged the little boss was now imagining the cake and menu and colors. He wanted pink and black to signify both toe darkness and the beauty of the world they both lived in, he wanted a cake that was os choclately it was nearly illegal and above all else he wanted a lot in attendance. "Oh guests." he murmured as he slowly reached up to hold Mikhail's hand. "Hana, Nadja, Rylie, avalynn, hm maybe if yoya isnt busy., my vampire friends..so many.and maybe we can find some nice beards to fill in your side.."

[Mikhail Stankov]

"I have no friends," Mikhail explained, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. How could he have groomsmen if he had no friends? "Momo. . .Momo vould look nice in suit."
He lifted one shoulder in a shrug. "I do not care, so long as I get to marry you at end of day."

[Akusai Kyoushi]

Aku turned just a little pink and looked down. This was rather mortifying, he couldnt hide his expression so whenever he got all red-cheeked and bashful it was painfully obvious, and he wasnt used to that. "I could lose every friend I ever had and I wouldn't care as long as there was you. My life was..okay without you, but i was in my old funk. No on could love JUST me.. only you, Mikhail, ever loved JUST me. only you could save me like that..Id get married in my robe right now if i could stand steady, i wouldnt need the glamor, because you don."

[Mikhail Stankov]

That little bashful expression. . .the tinge of pink in Akusai's cheeks. Drug induced or not, it was adorable, and it made Mikhail smile. "But I vant you to have everyzing. . .so ve vill get you healthy, plan all of crazy details you vant, and you vill have best wedding of all time. And you vill be happy. . .and only once you are happy. . .I vill be happy too." He took Aku's hand in his and pressed the back of it to his bearded cheek.
"You rest now, da?"

[Akusai Kyoushi]

Akusai nodded, smiling faintly. "I will work to be very happy then Mikhail so that you are, and you will be dressed gorgeously. Everyone will be jealous.and we'll have so many nice centerpeices and ill cry like a baby and then we'll have..the reception.." the actoe-boss-fashion icon started nodding off. "And ill get drunk with Kaze and ndja and we'll prank kakeru and nadja can come and her husband..so many pretty people..and my beard.." and with that akusai had nodded off, still clinging to mikhails superb face.

[Mikhail Stankov]

Mikhail just smiled as Akusai nodded off, taking in all of the things the incubus said, making a mental note to ensure they all happened. If Mikhail existed for one thing, it was to make that man happy. It was what woke him up in the morning, what made him cuff his sleeves and groom his beard, what made him go shopping for baby clothes. Every breath was for Akusai.
So this close call, this attempted assassination, hit Mikhail close to the chest. He'd realized how frail a life could be, not that he'd been oblivious before, but it scared him shitless to have to hear the steady ping of the heart monitor and pray that it didn't flat line.
Mikhail had to hand it to the assassin. . .if the gunman did one thing well, it was ensure that Mikhail would never let anyone try to drive a wedge between him and what he loved. That, Mikhail thought frequently as of late, was something that could be counted on.
When Akusai was good and asleep, Mikhail slipped his hand away, cupped the boss's face, and leaned down to kiss his forehead.
"до тех пор, как существуют звезды в ночном небе и насосов крови через эти вены, я буду здесь, чтобы защитить вас," he whispered, and quietly left to speak to Momo about matters of security.
