"So how do you feel today?"
"Much better, thank you, Shindo-san."
"Miso soup! You need some soup; that'll make you better. Couldn't hurt."
"Shouldn't that be chicken soup?"
"Is it? Maybe that's why I never feel better after eating soup."
"Heh."
Mika listened to this exchange between Shuichi and Tohma, grateful that her little family was back together again. She'd have to make a generous offering at the temple for the return of her husband. Tohma had a slight concussion and bruises, but was otherwise in good shape. After a few days' rest he'd be back to 100% according to the doctors, and this was infinitely more than she'd expected. He wouldn't be alive at all if it weren't for Shuichi, and she had no idea how she'd ever pay him back.
The tabloids were disappointed that Tohma couldn't remember anything about the assault due to total unconsciousness during the entire capture—or so the official story went—but they had no trouble inventing scenarios. The discovery that Tohma had been saved by both Shuichi and Yuki together was a source of endless speculation and interpretation. Even more interesting was the side story about the mysterious disappearance of Taki Aizawa and whether NG Music was the target of an ongoing yakuza attack.
A lesser story also hit the papers that week, the story of a theater burning in the older district. A body was found inside, but dental records couldn't be matched and DNA testing was inconclusive. Just another mystery of the theater, but the stage was always the best place for a good mystery. The building was slated to be rebuilt as a nightclub, a development Taki might have appreciated.
Mika read a board book to the baby, concurrently thinking she ought to insist Tohma come with her to Kyoto over the weekend to offer thanks at the temple. Papa will appreciate the donation. How the old man would feel about seeing Shuichi again was an open question, but Shu was definitely good for Tohma, and that ended the discussion as far as she was concerned.
What Tohma and Shuichi did at the office she wasn't sure of, but her husband's previous infidelities hadn't changed things between them. He probably thought she hadn't known about them, the fool. The wife always finds out. As long as she always came first, she could deal with it.
Besides, there was something utterly irresistible about that Mr. K.
What's good for the gander is good for the goose, right?
Maybe they could even double date...
The End =^ᴗ^=

But the end is definitely fitting and it's an ending I find quite believable. To bring Tohma and Shuichi together isn't easy at all but you managed it.
Thank you so much for this wonderful story^^
