Thanxs soo much for the reviews (especially long ones, I love them) They give me inspiration to write this trashy fic! Lol.

"The chemo-therapy's leaving me exhausted, but the doctor says that shows it's working." Mrs Isogai said with a weary smile. Almost a month into treatment, her once lustrous brown hair was starting to thin, her face looked gaunt, and her skin was deathly pale.

"So you're gonna get better, right?" Toranosuke piped up. Yuuma placed a reassuring hand on the boy's head.

"Of course she is." The teen said. He had a rare morning off and was using the time to visit his mother with his two younger siblings. The Chairman had been working him to the bone, his hours were far longer than was probably legal! But the teen couldn't complain since the more he worked the more money he got for his family. But even with all the work he was doing, he was still struggling to pay for cancer treatment, food, and sending his younger siblings to school (Even though the tuition fees were relatively cheap).

"Yuuma, I just hope you aren't working too hard to provide the money for this- You shouldn't of had to drop out of high school for me. You have such a bright future ahead of you- " His mother started.

"It's fine." Yuuma said, cutting his mother off, a bright smile on his face. "You being healthy and alive is more important to me than finishing high school. Family always comes before grades and careers in my book!"

His mother opened her mouth to argue her point further, but was interrupted when a blond teenager walked into the room.

"Hiroto!" Yukira and Toranosuke cried in unison when they noticed he was there. The two kids hurried over and hugged Maehara. Maehara was Isogai's best friend since before the two of them could remember. He was like a second brother to Yuki and Tora, especially after Mrs Isogai got sick, he would always volunteer to look after the kids when Yuuma was at work.

"Hey squirts!" The playboy said, ruffling the kid's dark brown hair making them giggle. He smiled at Yuuma's mother. "Mrs Isogai! You look lovely as always. I brought you some flowers."

"Charming as always, Hiroto-Chan." Mrs Isogai said with a slight chuckle, as the teenager put the bouquet of daffodils in the vase next to her bed. Maehara then turned to Isogai, their eyes met and a mutual grin grew on both of their faces.

"It's been too long, man!" The blond cried, pulling his dark-haired best friend into a head-lock. "I haven't seen you in two weeks! I've never not-seen you for that long!"

"Cut it out!" Isogai said, laughing despite himself. Being with his family and Maehara made him feel at ease. Something he hadn't been feeling a lot recently with working at the Asano house. Hiroto finally let go of him.

"Man, without you around the class is in chaos. We all really miss our leader." Maehara sighed. "Everyone really misses you. Even Terasaka and his gang miss having you to keep them out of trouble."

Isogai felt a bittersweet feeling sweep over him as he thought of the classmates he'd left behind; Was Kataoka okay being the class rep alone, or had they found somebody to replace him already? Was Karma still getting into fights? Had Nagisa sorted out the problems with his mother? Had Hayami and Chiba realised their feelings for one another yet?

"I miss them too." The brunet said, his voice a little solemn as he found himself longing for the carefree days he'd been living only a month earlier.

"You have the afternoon off next Saturday, don't you?" Mrs Isogai said, suddenly. They all turned to look at her. "Why don't you spend some time with your friends then?"

"But- I was going to visit you that day!" Isogai started, but his mother shook her head.

"You spend all your spare time looking after me. Come on, sweetheart, you need to see your friends. I'm a grown woman I can look after myself." She said, with such vigor she almost didn't seem so sick for a moment. "Besides, I'll have Tora-chan and Yuki-chan here with me. Have fun for once."

Suddenly, his younger siblings were tugging at his shirt, looking up at him with golden eyes.

"Yeah Big bro, have some fun for once!" Tora parroted.

"You work every day ever so you deserve a break!" Yuki added. Maehara smiled at him.

"Come on, Yuuma, there's a festival next week. If your coming I'm sure I can round up the whole gang!" His best friend said. Isogai felt a warm fuzzy feeling growing in his chest. Despite all the hardships he'd been through, it was okay because he had such a wonderful family and caring friends.

"Thank you everyone." He smiled.

"Why do you look so happy?" Gakushuu asked, giving his child-minder an accusing glare as he finished filling in his question sheet and handing it go him. "You've had an extra stupid grin on your face all week."

"Well, I'm going out with some old friends I haven't seen since I left school tomorrow so I'm excited" Isogai said, taking the question sheet off him. Even having to mark all the extra work the Chairman gave to his son couldn't put him down.

"I thought it'd be something stupid. Just hurry up and mark my work. Don't take hours like you did last time. I'm going out to practice tennis for an hour and it better be done by the time I'm finished." Gakushuu huffed, hopping off his chair. At this point Isogai had almost given up lecturing the miniature tyrant on manners. All of his attempts were futile.

"Careful playing outside!" The Childminder said

"It's not playing it's practice. Idiot." Gakushuu snapped as he walked out the front door, his face flushed in anger.

"No name-calling, Asano!" Isogai called after him in vain. That kid had been in an extra bad mood for the past few days, and it was no secret why; He'd come 2nd in an exam in school. For most people this would be an achievement, for the Asano's this was a mortifying failure; The Chairman had spent an hour lecturing his son on 'being weak', and had tripled the work-load he gave him, printing out more worksheets, booking in more tutoring sessions (While not holding back on the music and sports stuff he did).

Gakushuu was working constantly. Isogai could tell by the bag's under his eyes the kid was getting even less sleep than before. He wished he could call the Chairman up on it, but Gakuhou Asano's words still haunted him;

"I'm the one who holds your mother's life in the balance. Don't forget that."

There was no way he could defy the man. He'd just be fired and then replaced. Just thinking about that man sent an icy chill down his spine.

He could still feel the tight grip of the Chairman's hand around his wrists, the feeling of the man's body crushing him into the wall. No. I have to forget about that. Just think ahead!

The next day, Isogai awoke early to go to work as usual, just as the sun was rising, a large grin on his face; After twelve he'd have the rest of the day off! He'd be seeing his friend's again. He slipped out of his futon and gave a fond look at his still-sleeping younger siblings before going to get ready.

He arrived at the Asano residence just as the milk man was doing his rounds, and opened the door with the key he had been given. The house was deathly silent.

"Gakushuu?" The Childminder called out as he walked in. No reply. The kid was usually in the study first thing of a morning, but it was empty; So was the dining room, the kitchen and even the garden.

How strange. He's usually up and about before I come here.

Out of options, Isogai walked up the stairs towards Gakushuu's room. It was a room he'd only seen a scant number of times, since the child only seemed to go in there to sleep, and he didn't do that all too often.

Isogai knocked on the door tentatively. Once again no reply. He hesitated for a moment before pushing the door lightly open and stepping inside- The room was exactly how he remembered it, filled with various medals and trophies, and not a single toy in sight. The thing that surprised the child-minder though, was that Gakushuu was still in bed. Of course, for normal people, sleeping in until 8:30 am on a Saturday morning wasn't unusual, but that child never slept in.

"Gakushuu?" Isogai said, walking over and shaking the kid's shoulder softly. Honestly, he would of liked to let the blond sleep in but the English tutor was coming in half an hour. Gakushuu opened his eyes, they looked bleary and unfocused. On closer inspection, the child's face looked paler than usual, except for his cheeks which were flushed red.

"Isogai?" He said, his voice croaky and tired, with non of the usual malice behind it. He sat up, his movements slow and uncoordinated. Straight away, the childminder placed a hand on Gakushuu's head. It was as he suspected.

"You have a fever." The brunet said, with a sigh. The kid's forehead was burning hot. Gakushuu's eyes widened slightly.

"No I'm fine! I can't have- " The blond insisted, pulling himself out of the bed and walking past Isogai. There was the sound of a thump and the Child-minder turned around quickly to see Gakushuu lying on a heap on the floor inches from the door. He apparently couldn't walk the length of the room without collapsing.

"Hey- are you okay!" Isogai gasped, hurrying over to pick the kid up off the floor.

"My brain is dizzy and my head hurts and my body hurts and I feel all shivery and my body wont move properly." Gakushuu whimpered, pulling his hands over his eyes. Isogai had never seen the Chairman's son act so child-like and vulnerable. His usual attitude made it easy to forget that the kid was only seven.

"It's okay." Isogai said with a reassuring voice as he helped Gakushuu up. Surprisingly the kid didn't make a fuss about being patronised, and instead, grabbed onto his childminder's hand and allowed himself to be guided back into bed. "Just a day of bed-rest and you'll be fine."

"No!" Asano protested, frowning up at Isogai. "I have things I need to do today.. If I don't.. the Chairman wont be happy.."

"I'll speak to him." Isogai said, although just thinking about doing that filled him with fear.

Isogai wasn't sure if it was a blessing or a curse that the Chairman was actually in the house that day; On the one hand he could let the Chairman know his son wouldn't be able to attend his lessons. On the other hand, Isogai would have to face the terrifying man, and speak to him. Gulping back his apprehension, Isogai knocked on the door.

"Come in." A cold voice replied. Straightening his posture, the Child-minder walked in. The Chairman's smile widened upon seeing him. "Ah. Isogai. What could you possibly want?"

"Sorry to disturb you, sir." The brunet said, meeting the Chairman's cold gaze. He was sat behind his desk as usual. "It's Gakushuu. He's ill. He has a fever. he'll need to stay in bed all day."

"Oh?" Gakuhou said, smile still in place, although it was clear he was anything but happy. The room temperature seemed to plummet. "I didn't realise you were a doctor, Isogai, you should of put that on your resume."

"I know I'm not an expert but he really is ill. There's no way he'll be able to do sports or tutoring." The brunet said. The Chairman's eyes narrowed as he put down his newspaper and pulled himself out of his chair.

"I'll be the judge of that." He said, as he swiftly left his office, and walked along the corridor to his son's room, with Isogai quickly following after him, attempting to match the man's speed. The Chairman swung open the door to his son's bedroom. As soon as Gakushuu noticed him, his eyes widened. Despite his state he pulled himself out of bed and stood at attention on wobbly legs.

"Chairman, sir." He said, his voice still hoarse. He didn't even seem to have the energy for the usual false-smile he kept up around his father. Isogai stood behind the Chairman nervously. He was constantly worried about making the wrong move around him.

"I understand Isogai here thinks you're unwell." Gakuhou saying, casting his son under a cold analytical gaze that held no warmth nor sympathy. Gakushuu looked up at him, despite his neutral expression he was clearly just as nervous as Isogai. He nearly flinched away when the Chairman raised his hand to check his forehead. "It does appear you have a fever. Well. I will have to cancel all your appointments for today. Your english tutor Mr Sakikabara will be so disappointed. What a pity; A wasted day. You really can't afford those given your current performance in school."

Asano didn't reply, and instead looked down at his bare feet, a scowl on his face. The Child-minder had to bite his tongue to stop himself from saying something; It wasn't Gakushuu's fault he'd fallen ill! Aren't you his father? Shouldn't you care at least a little? Especially considering that he's probably gotten himself sick because of over-working himself on your command!

"Well, Isogai, since you have nothing to do this morning you may as well go home." The Chairman said, with that unfaltering smile. "Asano, go back to bed before you fall over and embarrass yourself."

The tension in the room was through the roof. Isogai was glad he was given an excuse to leave. He turned back as he left.

"Uh- yeah. Bye, Gakushuu." Isogai said as he left the room.

It wasn't until the brunet made it to the train station that he realised in his haste that he had left his bag back at the house. He silently cursed himself for being so careless; Now he'd have to walk all the way back to the house and make himself look like an idiot (Hopefully the Chairman wouldn't notice.)

Oh well.

At least he'd be able to check on Gakushuu. The Chairman had money enough to call out a doctor, so Isogai wasn't too worried. Whenever his own younger siblings became sick like that, their fever usually cleared up after 24 hours. They could never afford a doctor though, so whenever Yuki or Tora became ill, he and his mother would take shifts sitting by their bedside. He could remember being poorly as a child himself- His father would sit next to him and read to him from story books. But he couldn't imagine Gakuhou Asano ever doing that.

When he entered the house, the Chairman's sleek black car was gone from outside meaning he must be out. For the second time that day, Isogai unlocked the door and walked inside. Just like the first time he'd walked in, it was deathly silent.

The brunet was just about to collect his bags from the cloak room under the stairs when he heard shuffling and a crash from the kitchen. Quickly, the brown haired boy ran towards where the noise was coming from.

The Childminder burst into the large stylish kitchen only to be greeted with the sight of noodles strewn all over the tiles. In the middle of the floor sat Gakushuu with an empty bowl in his hands. It's was instantly clear to Isogai the kid had fell and dropped the bowl of noodles.

"What are you doing here?" The blond boy asked pulling himself to his feet, a feeble scowl on his face.

"What are you doing out of bed? You aren't in any state to be cooking." The brunet scolded lightly, walking over to the boy to inspect him for any damage.

"I was hungry." Gakushuu said, frowning.

"Well you shouldn't be making yourself- " isogai said, starting a lecture then cutting himself off when he realized something. "Gakushuu has your Dad left you all by yourself? He hasn't called a family member or anyone over to look after you?"

"Of course." The child croaked. "I'm not sick enough to go to hospital. But I'm sick enough that I'm weak, and when you're weak, you have no value to people. Your tutors don't come over 'cause you can't work. Your useless to people so you end up by yourself. It's just the way it is."

How could a kid so young be so bitter?

Without thinking about it, Isogai lent down and picked Gakushuu up.

"Hey- what are you doing!?" The kid cried, attempting weakly to pull himself free. Isogai ignored him.

"I'm taking you to bed. Then I'll make you something to eat." Isogai said as he walked up the stairs. "We have a secret Isogai family recipe for a soup that will have you feeling better in no time."

"Idiot." Gakushuu said, with far less venom than usual. He stopped attempting to fight against his child-minder, and instead opted for grasping at his shirt. "You know my Dad wont pay you for working these hours. And didn't you say you were meeting with friends or something?"

"It doesn't matter. I wont leave you by yourself if you need me, Gakushuu." Isogai said, with a dazzling smile as he put the child in bed and left to go downstairs. Gakushuu stared after him with wide shocked eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Isogai sighed as he walked back down the stairs, pulling out his phone and texting Maehara to cancel his plans. It would suck to miss out on seeing everyone, especially when he had been looking forward to it so much. But there was no way he was leaving a sick child all by himself.

The Chairman walked into his house that evening after a hard day spent working; It may be a weekend, but Gakuhou never took a day off. Ever. Even if his school wasn't open, there was always people to meet, meetings to attend, papers to write and work to be done. He wondered how his son was doing; He always made a point not to mollycoddle him whenever he was ill, otherwise it may encourage him to feign sickness in order to get attention like so man children do. Well. Gakuhou Asano wouldn't have it!

The Chairman walked upstairs to Gakushuu's room and opened the door. His son was lying in bed asleep, as expected, but what did come as a surprise was the figure sat on the chair next to the bed; Soft brown hair falling into his eyes, in an even more vulnderable than usual; Yuuma Isogai.

Gakuhou Asano found himself grinning. Oh. How sweet of the boy. How unselfishly kind; Giving up his own precious free time to look after a sick child without any kind of reward or incentive. He really is making it hard for me to resist him.

The Chairman felt a feral hunger grow within him as he took in the teenager's slight form, defenseless in slumber, exposed to his advances. Gakuhou wanted to hurt him, wanted to ravage him.

Silently, like a predator stalking his prey, the Chairman stalked forwards and wrapped a long cold hand around Isogai's neck.

Isogai woke up with a start, suddenly unable to breath. Panic surged through him as he felt hands wrapped around his neck. Golden eyes widened with a confused horror as he tried to pull his attacker off himself to no avail. Before he had the chance to react, he felt his assailant pull him out the room, and slam him against the door. His vision started to spot and go blurry just as the pressure around his neck faded.

The teen fell to his knees, gasping for air. He looked up at his attacker, all of a sudden coming face-to-face with Gakuhou Asano.

"M- Mr Chairman, sir?" He cried in disbelief as he massaged his now aching throat. A pair of cold mauve eyes glared down at him.

"You aren't suppose to be working now. So naturally, I saw a strange man by my son's bedside and thought it was an intruder, and took appropriate action." The man said. He seemed to be taking pleasure in Isogai's panic. "I told you to go home."

"G- Gakushuu needed somebody to take care of him." The Brunet said, still gasping for breath. He managed to stand up. The Chairman narrowed his eyes, giving him a displeased look.

"You went against my orders."

"I'm sorry." Isogai said, looking to the side. He wasn't sorry about what he did, but of course, he wanted to avoid an confrontation with his employer as much as possible. Gakuhou smirked at his words, and licked his lips.

"You're a little liar." The Chairman said harshly, making the childminder before him flinch. He took a step forwards, and Isogai instinctively took a step back, effectively leaving himself cornered against the wall. "Sweet Isogai. Always trying to be a good boy. You'll learn sooner or later that it's impossible. I don't need an employee that doesn't follow my orders. You're fired."

It took Isogai a moment to register what the man had said, but when he did, he instantly went into panic.

"No! Please!" He begged, feeling tears of desperation forming in his eyes; If he lost this job his mother will die. "I promise I'll work even harder! I'll work even more hours! I wont ever complain- please. I'll do anything!"

The Chairman's eyes seemed to spark with triumph when Isogai said those words. "Anything, eh?" He questioned. The teen nodded vigorously.

"I'll do anything to save my mother. Please. Give me another chance." The teen cried. This wasn't like his usual calm self but his family was on the line here. The Chairman regarded him with amused eyes.

"Then beg. Properly. On your knee's." He commanded. Slowly, cheeks burning with shame, Isogai lowered himself onto his knee's in front of his employer. Too mortified to make eye contact, he stared at the floor and begged.

"Please. Please, sir. I don't deserve it but please give me another chance." Isogai said; Would he really be fired just for looking after the Chairman's son. Was this man really that cruel?

"Hm. Your words are pretty, but I need to see your actions if you want to convince me." The Chairman said, his voice as deep and cold as ever, completely detached from Isogai's suffering. The Man lifted up his leg, and forced Isogai's chin up using his foot. "My shoes. I think they need cleaning. Lick them."

The brunet stared up at the Chairman in disbelief, but he was quickly learning that Gakuhou didn't joke about anything.

"Yes, sir." He whispered, in a defeated tone.

His hands trembling, and his cheeks burning with humiliation, Isogai closed his eyes and leaned forward, licking the tip of the black leather shoes. They were immaculately clean, as always, but that didn't make Isogai feel any less debased. The Chairman let out a low sinister chuckle.

"I'm glad you see your place. I own you." The man said, grabbing Isogai by the hair and forcing him to stand up. "You are my toy to play with as I please."

Before the teen had a chance to react, the Chairman leaned forwards, trapping Isogai in his strong arms, and forcing a kiss on the brunets mouth.

"mph- "

Isogai's eyes widened in shock as he felt the older man's arms snake around him, and his tongue invade his mouth. He was too gobsmacked to even attempt to push the Chairman away, instead going limp in his arms. Gakuhou finally pulled away, letting go of Isogai as he did.

"W- What was that?" The Brunet cried, putting his hand to his mouth, clearly shaken. Gakuhou chuckled again.

"It's your own fault for tempting me, Isogai Yuma." He said, putting a hand against the wall to pin the teen to it, trapping him.. "Now, let's see if you really will do anything for your family."

So this chapter started out quite happy and cute. This fic would probably be all fluffy and cute about Isogai looking after his sick mummy and teaching Gakushuu the meaning of Christmas or some shit if I hadn't made gakuhou into an evil perv instead of just a bad father.

It's all downhill for Isogai now... I'm so sorry ;_;

Keep the reviews coming tho!
