Akio. It's a name that makes anyone who hears it shiver with dread and fear, even those who don't know him get scared. Was it because of his reputation? Or the fact he was a walking ticking time bomb that could go off any minute?

He didn't have enemies, not when none of them lived long enough to be one. Aiko was the kind of man to get rid of someone the moment they stepped out of line, so that made the list drop tremendously.

But then there was you, his one and only light in his tunnel. He loved you, you really, truly did. No one dared to lay a hand on you, that's how much he loved you. Anything you wanted, you could have. All he asked for in return was that you never question who he really is behind his facade he showed you. All you knew about him was that he "worked long hours." And that's all you needed to know.

Aiko had come home late once again, and he was already close to having another argument with you because of his "job" that he was doing. He didn't even have time to hang his coat.

"For the last time, I was busy, okay? What else do you want from me?"
