Ever Us

Inuyasha telephoned Steven to reassure him that he was ok.  He found out that his son only had one class today and that he and Suzy were playing house so Inuyasha should stay with Father and have “fun at work”.  Relieved that he wasn’t intruding on Steven’s education and personal time, Inuyasha grabbed a chart and logged into the spare computer.   The remained of the morning he treated several sore throats, set a broken bone, renewed some blood pressure medicine and chatted with one of their most cherished patients.  By lunch he was simply glowing.

Sesshomaru enjoyed seeing his husband so happy.  The daiyoukai even smiled at work.  The employees giggled when they saw the two ardently debate over a diagnosis.  Zeal, passion, excitement, and spontaneity had returned to the Takahashi clinic in the form of one energetic, fun loving inuhanyou.

Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha out for lunch to the Ramen shop around the corner from the clinic.  Inuyasha was thrilled and again brought to tears with the thoughtfulness of his mate.  Sesshomaru smiled and grabbed his hand.   But as they left Sesshomaru privately bid the lab technician to put a rush on the labs he had ordered earlier that morning.

Lunch at the Ramen shop was cozy for the two brothers but was quickly over.  Walking back to the clinic, Inuyasha saw an old friend and stopped to chat.  Sesshomaru excused himself to return to clinic.  Upon entering the clinic he walked straight to the laboratory to review Inuyasha’s labs.   They were all normal.   His thyroid was normal.  His electrolytes were normal.  He wasn’t pregnant.  He wasn’t anemic.   He wasn’t diabetic.  He was perfect.  Sesshomaru nodded and thanked the tech and walked back to his office to prepare for the afternoon.

Inuyasha bounced in his office and smiled.   “I can’t believe how much I missed this.   Let’s battle some disease and fight some pathology this afternoon!”   He pumped his arm in the air and dashed out to grab a chart and see a patient.   Sesshomaru just shrugged his shoulders and smiled.  An enthusiastic mate was a total turn on.  An idea formulated in his head and he decided the afternoon couldn’t move fast enough.   Before he grabbed a chart he called Steven and asked him to order pizza for the kids and to not anticipate Inuyasha and him until late that night.  He also alerted Steven to some deliveries that should be taken to the master suite.

“Have fun Father,” Steven laughed and with that he hung up the phone.

Next, Sesshomaru called their favorite restaurant and made reservations for two for a private, romantic table.  He confirmed with the sommelier to assure their favorite red wine was reserved for them and then ordered roses and chocolate to be delivered to their home.   Finally he made one more call and started work.
