Growing Pains

Berkeley could barely see strait. His back was moments from giving out and Jeremy lay underneath him clenching tightly. “Berkeley... I...” Jeremy began and gasped and Berkeley felt a glimmer of hope. He had to see this through. Not just for Jeremy, but to prove to himself that he was beating this. This drug was not going to beat Commissioner Berkeley Rose. “I... Oh Berkeley... I... am in...”

“I know,” Berkeley panted and pushed Jeremy's knees up until the young man was bent practically in half. “Me too, so close.” Berkeley said and pushed further against him.

“I...” Jeremy closed his eyes and screamed at the top of his lungs as his body was wrung dry. “I love you.” Berkeley paused mid thrust as his body pumped all he had into Jeremy his mind shut down as he gazed at the beautiful face beneath him relaxed in exhausted slumber. Berkeley pulled away and stumbled away from the bed. He stood in the shower and allowed the hot water to run over his body as his mind reeled with all the words that boiled down to three and were making him think he were going insane.

Break

Ryo worked very patiently. Peeling one small digit away and then the next. With each digit that was free a large tear fell from big blue eyes. “Ryo, we are going to be late.” Dee complained as Ryo paused and pulled Lyo into his arms and held the little boy until he ceased his whimpers. Ryo glared over his shoulder at Dee.

“He has been upset all day and you know it.” Ryo defended himself and went back to stroking Lyo's little face. “He had an accident last night and he needed me and I did not come to him and he is upset.” Ryo explained to Count D who had agreed to watch the small child while they worked. “Then Bikky left him this morning.”

“I needed you last night,” Dee smirked as he remembered exactly why Ryo had not heard the child crying; he had been too busy crying himself. Crying Dee's name. “And... Bikky had to go to school.” Dee sighed and looked away from the temptation to admit that Lyo was adorable. “Ryo ... Baby, you are spoiling the kid.”

“I am not.” Ryo turned and glared at Dee his fluffy hair falling into his eyes and hampering any clear view of Dee. Ryo shook his head and vowed to get a hair cut at the first opportunity. “Thanks again Little D, we are trying to teach him to use a potty.” Count D smiled his understanding and accepted the bag of pull ups.

“At the rate Puppy dog Ryo is going, we'll be changing diapers until he is five.” Dee said and gave Ryo a soft look to soften the sting of his words. Ryo glanced over his shoulder again and blinked in disgust when his hair again impeded is view of Dee. Dee saw the harassed look in his lovers dark eyes and smiled. Leon entered the room and brushed Dee aside, with a few deft movements and a brush of a comb through Ryo's bangs; Leon quickly solved the problem. Ryo shook his head and watched as Count D used a little brush to clean up the few strands of recently cut hair.

“Thank you so much, but of you.” Ryo said gratefully. “Between our careers, his libido and raising two boys, I barely have time to get dinner cooked, let alone a hair cut.” Ryo finally managed to extricate himself from Lyo's grasp.

“Hey, if we depended on your libido we'd never get laid... owww!” Dee complained when Ryo punched him. Lyo began to sob hysterically as Ryo took a step backwards to the door. Count D scooped the child into his surprisingly strong arms and rocked him back and forth as he waved the men off to another grueling day at the office.

Dee noticed right away that Ryo was silent. On the drive to the police head quarters and while they surveyed the case. He looked over to Ryo's desk and noted his tense look. Leon had left them with the excuse that he had to see if Berkeley had come in today. Jill, he stopped on the way out. “Leave them alone, something is up.” He whispered and ushered her down the hall. He was not surprised that Berkeley's borrowed office was empty.

Ryo wanted to wait until lunch but his mind would not focus on the files in front of him. “How long has it been a problem?” Ryo asked suddenly and Dee looked up with a half eaten candy bar sticking out of his mouth. “How long?” Ryo persisted when Dee looked at him blankly. “My...” Ryo paused and blushed. “Libido, or lack of it.” Ryo clarified when still Dee said nothing.

Dee chewed and swallowed before he took a sip of soda hoping to buy himself the time he needed to formulate a response that would not hurt Ryo. “Since the day we met.” Dee replied with a grin hoping to make Ryo laugh. Ryo looked stricken and rose to his feet clutching a file to his chest. With a last look at Dee, Ryo turned crimson and rushed from their office. Dee sighed before he thumped his head on the desk in defeat. It seemed he would never completely understand the man he had fallen in love with. He could help Count D and Leon, he could even help Chihaya and Kagetsuya, but he cold not help himself. Dee swore and opened the first file on his desk. He saw a picture of Tony and decided that right now, the world was a very unfair place.

Break

JJ paused outside of Berkeley's hotel room door and raised his hand to knock. He hesitated and took a deep breath before he knocked. JJ gasped when Berkeley opened the door. His blood shot eyes and slow movement gave testimony to a hard night. “He's still sleeping.” Berkeley said without preamble and stepped back into his room and indicated his bed. JJ walked over to his cousin and lifted his hand checking his pulse. “It's normal, when he wakes up he'll be sore, but at least his body has burned up all of the drugs.” Berkeley lit up a cigarette and leaned against the table with a tired sigh.

“You and he are seeing each other?” JJ asked after pulling the comforter up around Jeremy. Berkeley shook his head and released the pent up smoke hoping it would take away from the confusion in his heart. “Were...?” JJ asked and again Berkeley shook his head. “I know that you have never had any particular liking for me but,” JJ began and took a deep breath his face going taut with pain. “But as one officer to another, don't you think you could have tried to NOT screw my cousin?” JJ stood over Berkeley and allowed his rage free reign. “I could see if you were in love, but you are not, he is nothing to you but a piece of ass. You were his first!” JJ sank into a chair and sighed.

“Want to talk, or would you prefer to just hand in your badge?” Berkeley demanded with a deep frown. JJ's accusations had hit too close to his own self recriminations. After Jeremy had confessed his emotions, Berkeley had fallen drained beside him on the bed. After his moment of being thankful for Jeremy's unconscious state he began to think of what his words had meant. Was he serious?

“I went to the trouble of making up this wonderful tale of my first time, hoping that he would not end up as some idiot's worthless one night.” JJ said angrily and pounded his fist on the table. “I did not tell him the truth because I did not want him to think it was ok for things to go like that.”

“Like what?” Berkeley asked and indicated that JJ should sit beside him. It was true that he was beyond exhausted but with his mind as riled as it was he knew he was not getting any sleep.

“It is true that we were friends, but I... Wanted more than he was willing to give.” JJ admitted with a sad sigh and he looked on the verge of tears. “He just wanted to experiment with me, to see if he were gay or not. Turns out that after a couple of weeks of screwing me, he decided that he wasn't. It didn't matter that I loved him, it didn't matter that he had hurt me and I still submitted. All that mattered was Sheila Gordman and her big brown eyes. Then I entered the academy and he came by to visit me. Told me he had someone and showed me a picture of a young boy who had to be at the most 17. Dee helped me make that arrest. It was my first arrest.”

“And you fell in love with Dee.” Berkeley said understanding JJ and his relentless pursuit of Dee.

“I don't really know,” JJ said confusing Berkeley. “What I feel now with Lord D, that is Love. Deep, abiding, all encompassing love that leaves me shaken to my core. I can not go a day without looking at him, touching him, reassuring myself that everything is all right. He makes my life a song.” JJ said and blushed at his poetic sappiness that caused Berkeley to wince and look away embarrassed. JJ looked at Berkeley and watched him gaze at the bed with a thoughtful frown. “But sometimes,” JJ said with a hopeful note in his voice. “Love can be soft and sneaky,” He thought of Ryo and Dee. “A touch here and there, a look, maybe, a soft caress during mid day break. Sharing a pop tart on a busy morning as you both rush off to work. It can even be a shy exploration into unknown territory.” JJ smiled as he thought of the wide eyed innocent youth Chihaya displayed as he had left with Kagetsuya.

“Was your minor in collegephilosophy?” Berkeley asked with a derisive scowl as he took a long drag on his cigarette and let it out with a pleased sigh. He thought he could feel the nicotine as it shot through his system. “You better get to work,” Berkeley said and stood, he stretched with his hand to his back hoping to alleviate the pain of the previous nights workout. “I hear your new chief is more of a badger than your old one.” JJ nodded and stood, he took one last look at Jeremy and sighed before he left Berkeley alone with his disturbed thoughts.

Break

Dee found Ryo in the break room. He was sitting at a table with a cup of steaming tea clutched in his hands as if they were chilled. His newly trimmed bangs still managed to fall near his eyes and Dee smiled. Leon had taken into account Dee's habit of brushing Ryo's hair aside before he pulled the man in for a kiss. “You got a minute?” Dee asked not waiting for an answer before he pulled the empty chair opposite Ryo and sat it beside him. Dee straddled the chair bringing Ryo's eyes to his crotch. Ryo blushed and looked away quickly. “How long have we been together?” Dee asked and reached out and stroked the back of Ryo's hand where it clutched the mug.

“Almost five years as partners and a little over three as lovers.” Ryo told his mug unable to bring his lovely eyes up to meet Dee's inquisitive emerald green ones.

“And yet you still act like that same shy virgin that showed up in tears on my doorstep.” Dee said and moved in a brisk way that always managed to take Ryo by surprise. He pushed the unkempt bangs aside before sliding his hand to the back of Ryo's head and pulled Ryo in for a kiss. Ryo tensed before he opened his mouth shyly giving Dee his tongue. A foot step could be heard and Ryo shoved away face in flames. “Everyone knows we are together, we are wearing matching rings for crying out loud. We live together and are raising children.” Dee heaved a frustrated sigh. “You can tell Little D to relax and accept Leon, you tell that little angel man to relax and enjoy his lover, but you can't relax enough to enjoy me. I mean, I think you like, screaming my name and coming all over the place usually means that there is enjoyment, so what am I getting wrong?” Dee asked exasperated when Ryo still would not look at him.

“Even when I was with women, I never talked like this, not about... Sex.” Ryo blushed as if every eye and ear in the precinct were on tuned in. “Sometimes I slept with my girl friend because she wanted me too and it seemed the right thing to do. I never really needed to... then I met you and all that changed. You made me want things I have never hoped to admit to and then... I do love when we are together Dee, I just...” Ryo blushed. “The more you want me the more scared I am that it is all you want from me. Then I get mad at myself and wait several days of you staying with me, staying tuned in and still being in love while being celibate and I want to show you that. So I...”

“Put out.” Dee sighed. “I had hoped that by now you would know that whether you spread your legs or not I still love you.” Dee replied anger making itself known to both him and Dee. “Even if we had never made love I would still be your partner and you would still be my best friend. The sex is a perk, a... a... a sign on bonus. It is not what is keeping me with you and certainly being denied is not going to make me leave you. I have a hyperactive sex drive, you know this. Left up to me, you would never leave the bed. Ryo you are beautiful!” Dee said and laughed when Ryo proved his point by taking a succulent lower lip into his mouth and peeking at him through his cloud of soft sandy colored hair with big glassy black eyes. “I don't just mean outside, lover.” Dee said and inched his chair closer to Ryo's. “When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I think about is you.”

Ryo sighed and opened his mouth to speak when Jill poked her head into the break room. “Hey guys, the interrogation is about to begin.” Ryo nodded and got to his feet in a hurry. He placed his mug into the sink and walked by Dee who waited at the door. Ryo squared his shoulders and leaned forward and pressed his lips to Dee's. Dee smiled before he put on his grim interview face. It was the first time that Ryo had ever initiated anything physical, hopefully, Dee thought as he appreciated the view of Ryo's perfect behind, it would not be the last.
