Ryo was standing between Dee's exposed thighs, looking down at Dee with a hunger in his eyes. Dee reached for the band of those sinfully tight jeans Ryo was wearing.

 

Ryo leaned over, sliding his hands over Dee's arms and shoulders, smiling down at Dee appreciatively.

 

Dee gazed up at Ryo. “Planning on joining me?” he asked, licking his lips as deft fingers managed to slide into the waistband by the fly.

 

Ryo leaned further to whisper into Dee's ear, “You bet. Are you up to doing it right here?”

 

His breath was hot on Dee's ear, causing Dee to tingle. Dee smiled. “Right here, right now,” came his reply.

 

“Mmm, good,” Ryo replied. He pulled back to help Dee pushed his jeans all the way down and pulled them off his legs to leave in a heap next to the window seat.

 

Dee's fingers had left the area of Ryo's waist as he started to undo Ryo's shirt. His shirt actually, but at the moment it was on Ryo.

 

As Dee expertly worked the buttons, Ryo leaned in close again to nibble on Dee's ear.

 

Dee moaned softly. “Mmm… no interruptions this time, I hope,” he murmured.

 

Ryo's hands slid down over Dee's shoulders and back, then along his sides until they rested on Dee's hips. He started to massage along Dee's hips toward the cheeks of his buttocks.

 

Dee leaned forward to start kissing Ryo's chest, his hands rubbing along Ryo's abs.

 

The hands on Dee's back moved over his hips again, going for the front, his fingertips brushing Dee's hard-on ever so slightly before kneading Dee's thighs. In a husky tone, he spoke into Dee's ear, “Your skin is so soft. I'd never thought it would feel like that when I first saw you.”

 

Dee gasped from what Ryo was doing with his hands and feeling Ryo's mouth so close to his ear. He chuckled a little. “I'll bet you were thinking it to be prickly like I appear to be?”

 

“Mhmm, no….” Ryo paused to nip Dee's earlobe before moving his mouth down to start suckling on Dee's neck. “…just, I don't know. More rough textured, I guess.”

 

Dee moved his head to the side to give Ryo better access to continue what he was doing. Dee slipped his arms under Ryo's to start massaging his lover's upper back. “Well, you should know my secret by now,” he said slyly, then laughed.

 

“Hmm?” Ryo asked, somewhat dazed. He nibbled on Dee's collar bone.

 

“Lotion,” Dee laughed. “But don't tell the guys at work that.” He winked at Ryo.

 

“Hey,” Ryo started.

 

“What?”

 

“You done with unbuttoning my shirt yet?” Ryo asked.

 

Dee leaned in to lick an exposed nipple for his reply. “Yeah,” he drawled, dragging his tongue across the area.

 

Ryo let out a gasp. He shrugged out of the shirt and tossed it to the side.

 

Dee kissed his way to the other nipple and started to lick it with a flick of the tip of his tongue.

 

“Oh God…” Ryo moaned.

 

Dee's hands were caressing Ryo's hips, fingertips occasionally lightly tickling.

 

Ryo buried one hand in Dee's hair and held his head in place, Dee's face against his chest.

 

Smiling, Dee started to suck and lick the spot, knowing how to give Ryo the most pleasure.

 

Ryo let out a long deep moan, his fingers running through Dee's hair.

 

With one hand, Dee rubbed along Ryo's stomach.

 

With his fingers tangled in Dee's hair, Ryo pulled Dee's head back and leaned down to deeply kiss Dee, almost taking the breath out of the man below him.

 

Wrapping his arms around Ryo's neck during the kiss, he started to lean back. At the same time, Ryo started to push him to lie down on the window seat. They pulled away from the kiss for a moment to share a knowing look, understanding they both had the same thing on their minds, before Dee captured Ryo's mouth to kiss him again.

 

Ryo hooked his hands under Dee's knees and pulled him closer to the edge of the seat so their groins would touch.

 

Letting out a moan, Dee moved his hips to rub his groin against Ryo's.

 

Moaning softly from the delicious friction Dee was causing, Ryo licked his way over Dee's neck, enjoying to hear each sigh, gasp and sucking in his breath. He paid particular attention to the sensitive spot near Dee's earlobe and was rewarded with a long moan, feeling the body beneath his tremble with building passion. He slowly made his way down to the collarbone and over to the other. He felt Dee tremble and practically melt under him, moaning as his lover's fingers danced along his back. Those fingers found a sensitive spot along Ryo's spine, and he moaned as he continued to lick his way up the other side of Dee's long neck. He paid attention to the same spot on that side, before lightly nipping the earlobe. Dee's fingers dug into his back as he moaned again. Ryo licked where he nipped, before going back to lick more of Dee's neck. In a husky whisper, Ryo spoke with his lips still pressed against the smooth skin. “Choose a tube.” His exploration moved back onto the collarbone, going onto Dee's finely toned chest.

 

Dee was running his hands up and down Ryo's back, before sliding onto his hips.

 

Ryo licked around a nipple, feeling Dee tremble again. Ryo knew that was another of Dee's very sensitive areas. The tip of his tongue flicked across the tip of the hardening nub, before capturing the peak in between his lips.

 

Dee was moaning again, one of his hands leaving Ryo's body to blindly reach for the bag, and then moving within it. He finally pulled out the bottle of the expensive brand. He held it to dangle on the side of Ryo's head. “Was this what you said you were going to use all of on me this weekend?” he asked. “Best we start with it then.”

 

Ryo chuckled, his lips still closed over Dee's nipple, the vibration making the other man practically purr. “Yes,” he spoke, then clamped his teeth onto the nipple. Dee cried out in pleasure, his body arching upward. Ryo continued to go between licking the nipple and nipping it, feeling the body beneath his tremble as Dee moaned.

 

“Oh God, yes,” Dee murmured, licking his lips, his dark green eyes now heavy lidded with passion.

 

Ryo once again marveled as he felt Dee's body melt, opening himself completely to Ryo, submitting himself for his partner to bring them both to the ultimate release of pleasure. This was the same man who was so strong, so dominant, and yet could so easily melt under Ryo.

 

The hand still on Ryo's hips slid along the front to grasp Ryo's cock, stroking it slowly.

 

Ryo let out a moan, his hips moving on their own accord to move his cock along the grasp of Dee's fingers wrapped around the column. He nipped the nipple one more time before pulling back to take the lube from Dee's hand. He popped open the bottle top and sniffed it experimentally.

 

Dee was looking up at him from his prone position beneath Ryo. He laughed and asked, “Smell good?”

 

Ryo shrugged. “Well, it's really neutral.” He held it under Dee's nose.

 

Dee sniffed. “That's fine,” he remarked. He grinned as Ryo moved the bottle away. “It's when one of our asses start smelling like lavender is when I get nervous.”

 

Ryo laughed, his eyes meeting Dee's. He squeezed some lube on his fingertip, then coated it over Dee's nipples.

 

Dee grinned up at Ryo, sighing. “Devil,” he stated. He tried to look at the bottle again, but Ryo pulled it out of his sight. He lay there, still looking up at Ryo. “So, what are we going to do with my slick nipples now?”

 

Ryo grinned. “We're waiting. Feel anything?”

 

“Yeah, slippery nipples,” Dee remarked, chuckling.

 

“Hmm,” Ryo thought. He grinned devilishly at Dee. “I want you to play with your nipples for a few minutes.”

 

Dee grinned. He had a sultry look as he started to play with his nipples, rubbing them between his fingertips, licking his lips. His eyes suddenly closed as he moaned. “Oh yeah….” He sighed. He started to pinch and tug on the nubs a little, writhing from the combination of friction and the heat from the lubricant Ryo had selected. “Mmm… nice.” He opened his eyes a little, still pleasuring his chest, looking at Ryo again. “Wanna try some?” He grinned a little, before letting out another moan.

 

Ryo's breath caught as he watched Dee mesmerized. “God, do you have any idea how fucking sexy you look right now?” he asked, his voice husky. He leaned down and started to kiss Dee again.

 

Dee stopped playing with his nipples to wrap his arms around Ryo's neck and kissed him back. “I can never get enough of hearing you say that,” Dee replied before kissing Ryo again.

 

Ryo squeezed a fair amount of the lube on his right hand and reached down between Dee's spread legs. He rubbed some along the ring of Dee's opening. “Is this okay?” he asked, before nibbling on Dee's neck again.

 

Dee lifted his hips. “Mmm,” was his response. “It's fine.” He moved his hips again. “Don't torture us with slow right now, baby. We've done enough of that already tonight.”

 

“Oh shush,” was Ryo reply. His slicked fingers teased the area. “Doesn't get too warm down there?” he asked, as he started to slide two fingers back and forth over the opening and surrounding skin.

 

Dee chuckled, then gasped, his eyes widening. “Oh…wow!” was his reply of how the heated lube felt to him. He let out a soft moan. “This is sweet, baby.”

 

“Good?” Ryo chuckled, enjoying the sight of Dee squirming deliciously under him, moaning again from the combination of what his fingers were doing and the lubricant itself. His index finger easily slide into the opening and past the ring of muscles.

 

Dee moaned again, grasping onto Ryo's arms. He gazed up at Ryo again, licking his lips. “Very…” he sighed as Ryo's finger gently loosened him.

 

Ryo added a second finger, watching Dee to make sure he was still okay as his fingers continued to stretch his dark haired lover. “Damn,” he remarked, amazed at how quickly he was able to insert the second finger, knowing Dee was ready for a third. He decided to hold off for a bit, having fun watching Dee squirm and writhe as hungry eyes gazed up at him, begging for more.

 

Dee's hips shifted, moving down to take more of Ryo's fingers. “This stuff is good,” he sighed. “Or I'm getting that loose.” He chuckled, then let out another moan.

 

“Yeah.” Ryo smiled, watching as Dee started to move his hips with Ryo's fingers, moaning more. “You feel like, I dunno…” He gazed down at Dee. “You didn't, you know, prep yourself while I was away?” He leaned forward to kiss Dee's cheek and temple.

 

“The wait. I think when I was playing with myself, I got myself all relaxed and wanting,” Dee replied.

 

Ryo pulled back so he was standing straight against the window seat between Dee's legs, the two fingers of his right hand still moving within Dee.

 

Dee looked up at Ryo in question.

 

Ryo grinned as he added a third finger. He crooked his finger a bit to rub over Dee's sweet spot.

 

Arching his hips upward, Dee let out a gasp. “Oh yeah…”

 

Using his left hand, Ryo took Dee's cock and started pumping it. He grinned devilishly down at Dee.

 

Dee moaned again. “Easy baby,” he warned, bucking up with the duel sensations driving him closer to the edge. He started to moan softly.

 

“Mhm, I don't think so,” Ryo remarked. He grinned again and worked Dee a bit harder on both ends.

 

Dee gasped and moaned as his body arched up. “Careful,” he tried to warn again. He reached out trying to reach for the lube.

 

Ryo rubbed his thumb over the slit of Dee's cock, causing his lover to moan again, his hand dropping. His eyes closed as he trembled slightly. “Nuh uh uh,” Ryo remarked, satisfied he prevented Dee from trying to force the pace. If Dee wanted him on top more, then Dee was going to learn how to be patient as Ryo made the most of the lovemaking.

 

Dee's eyes opened, green orbs pleading. “Ryo…” Dee moaned. “Please. Hurry Ryo. I want you inside me.”

 

“I am inside you,” Ryo stated, moving his fingers to rub along the sweet spot again.

 

Dee bucked and cried out a little. “Not your fingers. Please. I want to feel your cock.”

 

No longer able to deny them both the pleasure, Ryo let go of Dee's cock, watching as Dee let out a wordless protest at the lost. Awkwardly he squeezed some lube onto his cock with his left hand. He closed and dropped the bottle back on the window seat, then started to stroke himself, lubing himself up. He moaned softly as he felt his hand move up and down along his length, imagining the warm tightness surrounding his fingers was surrounding his cock. Yes, this was something they both wanted.

 

His eyes caught Dee's hand moving toward him, to help. He slapped the hand lightly, pushing Dee back to once again lay completely on his back. “Nuh uh. You lay back and relax, and let me do all the work for once,” Ryo insisted.

 

Dee grinned, allowing his fingers to brush against Ryo's scrotum before letting his arm drop.

 

“Naughty,” Ryo stated, looking down at Dee. Dee grinned up at him impishly. “Astro boy,” he added. He laughed at the sudden pout Dee gave him. He moved his fingers so his index finger nudged hard against Dee's prostrate.

 

Dee's eyes opened wide as he gasped loudly, lifting his upper body slightly from the window seat before dropping back. “Holy fuck,” Dee moaned, as he arched his hips upward.

 

Ryo chuckled, Dee's reaction turning him on immensely.

 

“Ahh… damn,” Dee muttered. His eyes met Ryo's. “Please Ryo, baby. There's something better I want to feel.”

 

Carefully, Ryo pulled out his fingers. He quickly wiped them clean on Dee's shirt.

 

Dee was watching and shook his head in amusement.

 

“You,” Ryo remarked. He reached out to grab Dee's hips and pulled him up a bit, sliding inside easily with one slow thrust He moaned loudly as he felt Dee's warm cavern surround him.

 

Dee reached out to grab onto Ryo's hips, moaning too. “Yes…” he sighed.

 

Ryo released Dee's hips to take his partner's hands off his own hip and moved them over his partner's head, holding them down. He leaned over with the action and started to kiss the man beneath him deeply, delivering slow and deep thrusts, still holding the olive toned hands captive.

 

Dee's hands slipped free and settled on Ryo's shoulders, as he moaned deliriously with each thrust within him.

 

“Bad boy,” Ryo remarked, taking Dee's hands and holding them down over his partner's head again. He continued to kiss Dee.

 

“Yes, yes,” Dee was muttering in time with Ryo's thrusts, losing himself in the sensation.

 

Ryo broke a kiss long enough to warn, “Behave.” He interlaced his fingers with Dee's and put more pressure to firmly hold Dee's hands down.

 

“Trying,” Dee said, then gasped. “But with you in me....” He moaned again. “I.. feel really naughty…”

 

Ryo laughed, lifting his head inches from Dee's mouth.

 

Dee's eyes met Ryo's as he grinned.

 

Ryo chose that moment to start thrusting faster. He closed his eyes a moment as he let out another loud moan.

 

Dee gasped in response to the faster pace, then moaned. “Get really wicked on me, baby,” he said, then moaned again.

 

“Oh God, you feel so good,” Ryo moaned as he moved within Dee. “Wicked huh?” He moaned again.

 

“Mmm… you too… feel good, that is.” Dee's head was moving side to side, his eyes closed and started to moan.

 

In a silky voice, Ryo said, “Promise you'll keep your hands where they are? Even if I let go?”

 

“I'll try…” Dee gasped. “Really… really….” A devilish grin came to Dee's face as he finished his reply. “Hard.”

 

Ryo shook his head in amusement. “Well….”

 

Dee clenched onto a pillow that was above his head and looked up at Ryo.

 

Ryo laughed and let go of Dee's hands. He pulled back enough so he was standing straight again, the head of his cock the only thing buried in Dee. He grasped onto his dark haired lover's hips and started to pump in and out fast and hard.

 

Dee lifted his hips and started to move them in rhythm with Ryo's thrusts, moaning loudly. His hands tightly clenched the pillow to keep them where they were, hoping he wouldn't suddenly lift the pillow.

 

As he continued his furious rhythm, Ryo's hands slid under Dee's knees and spread his legs a little, hoping to keep the pressure off Dee's back.

 

“Omigod,” Dee moaned. “Jesus, Ryo… that heat stuff....” He moaned louder. “Harder.. please baby….”

 

Ryo was moaning pretty loud himself, the heated lubrication tingling deliciously on him, contributing to the simple pleasure of feeling himself move within Dee. “Oh yes,” he gasped, and started to thrust harder. “Oh God….”

 

“Oh Christ… yes,” Dee murmured, his body writhing, hands still tightly clenching the pillow. He shuddered a little, feeling himself closer to the edge.

 

“Oh Dee, baby… baby,” Ryo groaned. He closed his eyes and threw his head back as he thrust even faster and harder.

 

Dee clenched the pillow until his arms started to tremble from the effort of keeping his hands down and not reaching out to grab onto Ryo. He arched his back, the sensation of Ryo taking him feeling too good. He closed his eyes and moaned. “Holy…crap,” he panted before moaning once more. “Baby… so good…” He started to breath harder, panting, almost in time with each of Ryo's thrusts.

 

Ryo grasped Dee's legs tighter as he thrust harder one last time before he gasped loudly, filling Dee with his seed. “Oh fucking…,” he gasped. “Deeeee!”

 

Dee felt himself start to tremble. “Shit…” He clenched the pillows tighter as he started to cum, his seed spilling onto Ryo and himself. He cried out wordlessly, as his arms lifted on their own accord, still holding onto the pillow. The pillow barely missed hitting Ryo's head.

 

Ryo groaned, riding out his climax, not seeming to notice the pillow as it came close to his head.

 

Dee let out another moan as he dropped the pillow. He took a deep gasping breath and held out his arms toward Ryo. “Ryo,” he sighed.

 

Ryo collapsed on Dee and started to kiss him. “Love you,” he murmured, feeling Dee's arms go around him and hold him.

 

Dee grinned up when Ryo moved his head marginally away. “Damn… that was good. Really, really good.” He licked his lips, his eyes still reflecting the pleasure and deep contentment he was feeling.

 

Ryo's arms started to tremble, reminding him that he was still holding Dee's legs up. He let out a groan, attempting to push himself away. Dee still held him close, shifting so he could drop his legs. “Let go, baby. I'm fine. I'm wonderful,” he sighed, lifting his head to kiss Ryo again.

 

Ryo released Dee's legs. Moments later he let out another groan as he slowly slid out of Dee. He crawled onto the window seat and rolled onto his side next to Dee, still panting, trying to catch his breath.

 

Dee set his head in the crook of Ryo's neck and shoulders, sighing contently. He moved to nestle up against Ryo, still holding onto his lover.

 

Ryo relaxed in the afterglow, feeling Dee's heartbeat against his as he lazily rubbed circles on his partner's back with one hand. These moments of afterglow were almost as satisfying as the act to get them there. From Dee's happy sigh, Ryo knew Dee felt the same way. Several minutes went by in silence except for their breathing as they luxuriated in the moment.

 

Dee broke the silence with a contented sigh. “God,” he whispered into Ryo's neck.

 

“Oh God,” Ryo almost echoed him, his own voice a little hoarse. “That was just….” Another moan prevented any further words from him.

 

“Amazing,” Dee finished for him.

 

Ryo nodded. “Yeah.” He smiled as Dee moved his head to kiss him. Ryo's hand moved from Dee's back to his head as he happily returned the kiss. It seemed like an eternity to Ryo before he finally blinked his eyes open and looked at the wonderful face looking at him, radiating the love Dee felt for him.

 

Dee noticed Ryo's scrutiny. “Hmm?” he asked lazily.

 

“You okay, studmuffin?” Ryo asked softly. “I didn't hurt you, did I?”

 

Dee's grin grew. “Oh hell no! You made me feel really good.”

 

“That's not what I meant,” Ryo said after chuckling at Dee's enthusiastic reply.

 

Dee gazed at Ryo in question. “Then what do you mean?”

 

“Are you sore now?” he asked. “I mean, I think, I'm kinda.. um… sore myself.” He chuckled wearily.

 

Dee let out a soft laugh. “I'm not sure. I'm still tingly all over.”

 

Ryo nodded and briefly kissed Dee. “Me too,” he agreed.

 

Dee caressed Ryo's cheek. “It's fine baby. I know you get like an animal when it's your turn on me.” He kissed Ryo's lips softly. With his mouth still close to Ryo's, he continued, “I love it when you get like that.”

 

Ryo shook his head a little. “Damn that heat stuff.” His lips met Dee's.

 

“Yeah,” Dee agreed. He grinned, his eyes sparkling wickedly. “I'm glad you got two bottles of that stuff. Damn.”

 

Ryo pulled his head back from Dee. “Wait! An animal?” he asked. When Dee nodded, he asked, “What kind of animal?” He arched an eyebrow.

 

Dee laughed. “Not a penguin, okay?”

 

Ryo slid a finger over Dee's chest, drawing abstract patterns across the finely muscled chest.

 

“Um.. dunno what kind,” Dee added. “A big lusty Ryo animal.” He smiled at Ryo.

 

Ryo chuckled. “Good!”

 

Dee gave him a lopsided grin. “Interspecies breeding here.” He laughed.

 

Ryo shook his head, chuckling. He rolled onto his back, sighing in exhaustion. He pulled Dee close, not wanting to lose the contact of their bodies.

 

Dee rested his head on Ryo's shoulder and sighed contently. “That was so amazing.” He started to nuzzle Ryo's collarbone. “I want more… but, I need to rest some first.”

 

“Yeah,” Ryo stated. “And damn, next time in bed. I don't think I can do it standing like that a second time tonight.”

 

Dee lifted his head to grin down at Ryo. “But you look so freakin' sexy standing over me like that.”

 

Ryo shook his head again, before smiling at Dee. He winced a little when his back protested against the not so soft surface of the window seat. “Damn, we better move to the bedroom for resting.”

 

Dee ran a hand slowly along Ryo's chest and laughed. “If we can move, that is.”

 

“Got a point there. I know I can't.” He sighed and then chuckled. “But I don't want us to fall asleep here for Bikky to find us like this tomorrow.” He kissed Dee's forehead, rubbing his partner's upper arm.

 

“We can always undo the ties on the curtains,” Dee suggested, then laughed. “I think Bikky might take a hint.”

 

Ryo laughed with Dee as he continued to rub Dee's arm. He started to frown, his hand going from Dee's arm down along his back. “You're getting cold, baby.”

 

“Move he says,” Dee playfully grumped, still cuddled next to Ryo. “He pounds me into this window seat until I'm a puddle and now I'm supposed to move…” Dee let out a snort.

 

Ryo laughed, holding Dee tighter. “I don't fare any better, studmuffin.”

 

Dee lifted his head to kiss Ryo. “You know what?”

 

“What?”

 

“THAT was worth the waiting and the interruptions for.” Dee smiled at Ryo. “But then you always are worth it.”

 

Ryo chuckled. “Thanks.” He leaned over to kiss Dee. “And you know what?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

Ryo smiled gently. “That's because of you. I love you, Dee.”

 

“I love you too,” Dee replied, smiling brightly. He lovingly kissed Ryo, who happily kissed him back. When they broke the kiss, Dee moved slightly, letting out a groan. “Guess we should try moving.”

 

Ryo nodded, before he carefully and slowly sat up. “Oh man….”

 

Reaching his arms up, Dee rubbed Ryo's back for a minute before attempting to sit up himself. He got halfway up, then groaned and fell back. “God, I'm a wet noodle,” he groaned.

 

Ryo laughed, looking down at Dee. Gently, he slapped Dee on the belly. “Big baby,” he teased.

 

Dee pouted, looking up at Ryo. “Help me? Just a little? Please?”

 

Ryo pretended annoyance. It did not last long as he started to smile down at Dee. “Okay, how about we make this worth the moving?” he asked.

 

“Oh yeah?” Dee asked. “How?”

 

Grabbing Dee by an arm, Ryo pulled his lover into a sitting position, groaning himself from the exertion.

 

Dee let out another groan, leaning heavily against Ryo. He dropped his head on Ryo's shoulder and closed his eyes.

 

“Umm, first in the bedroom gets a reward,” Ryo suggested.

 

Dee moved his head to open his eyes, lifting an eyebrow in intrigue. “What kind of reward?” he asked.

 

“Like, uhm… like…” Ryo yawned. He leaned his head on Dee's.

 

Dee started to rub the small of Ryo's back again, in soothing circles.

 

Ryo's eyes closed as he shrugged a little. The action caused his and Dee's heads to move up and down. “Dunno,” he replied. “Can't think….”

 

“Umm….” Dee tried to come up with something but was having just as much trouble thinking as Ryo. Then inspiration hit him. “How about, the last one to the bed makes breakfast tomorrow? To have in bed?”

 

“My brain turned into jelly and left my body through my cock when I came,” Ryo said softly to Dee, then chuckled.

 

Dee smiled. At least Ryo had broken out of his shyness talking frankly around Dee a few months after they became lovers. As time continued to pass, Ryo grew more and more bold when not caught up in the throes of passion. During those times, Dee found Ryo had no hesitation to vocalize whatever was in his mind.

 

“So basically,” Ryo continued, with his eyes still closed and his head against Dee's, following his previous train of thought, “you are a smart ass now.” He chuckled at his own wit.

 

Dee tried to pout, but ended up laughing with Ryo. “I thought I always was one. So just call me genius ass now.”

 

Ryo laughed more. “Conceited bitch.” He kissed Dee's forehead.

 

“Hey,” Dee remarked, enjoying the banter, “flattery will get you everywhere with me.”

 

Ryo chuckled. “Breakfast in bed, huh? Sounds like a plan. Okay, on three then.” With eyes still closed, he felt Dee's head nod in agreement. “One…” he started to count. “Two… three…” He found he couldn't move and stayed exactly the way he was.

 

Dee, however, pushed up from the seat. He nearly lost his balance, then turned to look back when he realized Ryo did not move yet. He saw Ryo still sitting as he was, leaning over more because Dee was no longer holding him up. Ryo's eyes were on Dee, watching him. “Ryo?” He turned to completely face his lover. “You okay?”

 

Ryo nodded slowly. “Mhm.” He desperately tried not to fall asleep where he sat. He blinked tiredly up at Dee.

 

Dee reached down and pulled Ryo up, leaning his tired partner against him, shifting his footing so they would not end up on the floor.

 

Ryo sighed contentedly as he leaned into Dee.

 

“Knocked yourself out that much, huh?” Dee chuckled.

 

“You are evil,” Ryo remarked.

 

“Me?” Dee asked, genuinely confused. “What did I do?”

 

“All that running you made me do first, and then that amazing performance you made me do…” Ryo chuckled. “And now you force me to move.” He sighed again.

 

“Now who's the big baby?” Dee asked, teasing. He leaned down to give Ryo a kiss on his nose. “Come on.”

 

Ryo took a wobbly step forward, still leaning on Dee.

 

Dee leaned on Ryo, but with an arm around the slightly smaller man's waist, he supported his love. Slowly he walked them toward the bedroom. Ryo placed his arm around Dee's waist to lend his support. Dee smiled, knowing that was just the way they were, both lending support when needed.

 

“Damn, we're getting old, Dee,” Ryo declared as they entered the bedroom.

 

“Like the blind leading the blind,” Dee stated at the same time.

 

Ryo dropped onto the bed like a dead log, looking up at Dee.

 

Dee laughed, looking down at his lover. “Nah… I know what it is. We're just too damn good for our sakes.” He fell down on the bed next to Ryo.

 

“Oh no!” Ryo groaned as Dee snuggled up next to him.

 

“Crap,” Dee exclaimed. “We're on top of the covers.”

 

Ryo kissed Dee's forehead. “We left our clothes and the lube. Bikky will freak if he sees it.”

 

Dee buried his face in Ryo's shoulder. “Set the alarm… for like 3 AM. I doubt Bikky will be home by then.”

 

Ryo sighed heavily. “No, God fucking dammit!” he growled.

 

Dee lifted his head. “Ohh, what a mouth on you, Detective MacLean,” he leered.

 

Ryo ignored Dee's teasing as he took a deep breath and pushed himself into a sitting position.

 

Dee let out a frustrated sigh as he sat up too. “You get our clothes and I'll see about turning down the covers,” he said.

 

Ryo was already off the bed and heading out the room. He walked back to the window seat in the living room, grabbed their stuff and returned to the bedroom. He stopped at the side of the bed, and dropped it all on the floor next to Dee's side and collapsed on the bed, and onto Dee.

 

Dee had the covers down and was currently laying under them on his side. He laughed when Ryo's body covered his. With his arms around Ryo, he shifted them so they would be more comfortable, with Ryo on his own side of the bed. Ryo bounced a little as he settled down alongside Dee. Dee rolled onto his side, and after making sure Ryo was also under the sheets, he grinned at his lover, supporting his head with his arm. He leaned over to kiss Ryo lightly. “Look how far you've come, baby,” he stated. “I remember a time when you either made sure everything went into the hamper or folded it neatly on a chair. Now you leave your clothes all over the floor with mine.” Dee grinned at Ryo, knowing he was the cause of corrupting his partner.

 

Ryo looked up at Dee. “For that YOU are gonna make breakfast tomorrow,” he remarked.

 

“Why?” Dee asked amused. “You were the last one in the bed.”

 

Ryo smiled sweetly at Dee. “Please?” When Dee continued to stare at him, he added, “I'm tired, dammit.”

 

Dee started to rub Ryo's chest. “Really? Then this month might be a good thing then….”

 

Ryo pushed Dee's hand away from his chest, pouting.

 

Dee shook his head, chuckling, still amused.

 

With a snort, Ryo turned so his back was to him.

 

Dee did not hesitate in snuggling up against his lover's warm, nude body, spooning him.

 

Ryo ignored him, busy with fluffing his pillow.

 

Dee lifted his head. “What?” he asked.

 

Ryo simply shrugged, continuing to make his pillows more comfortable.

 

“Aw baby, I didn't say I wouldn't make breakfast tomorrow. Assuming I can move, that is.”

 

“You didn't do all that much, you know,” Ryo grumped, still pouting.

 

“Who insisted on that?” Dee asked, confused at the sudden change in Ryo.

 

“You!” Ryo near shouted. “Because you wanted me to be top!”

 

Dee looked astonished. “Well shit, I can't ask to be bottom once in a while, huh? And what's the big fuckin' deal anyway? Remind me to complain next time I'm top, dammit. Besides, you're the one who made me keep my hands above my head so you can do all the work.”

 

“Exactly,” Ryo snapped.

 

Dee sighed. “In a month,” he started, rubbing Ryo's back, “you'll be used to it. And I guess for now, I'll have to deal with you acting like a typical male. Grunt and roll over when you're done.”

 

Ryo gritted his teeth. “Why you….” What little trace of amusement/mocking left in Ryo's voice was completely gone now.

 

Dee seemed unflustered by the tone of Ryo's voice. He patted his partner's back. “Fine.” He kissed the back of Ryo's neck. “Night.”

 

Without warning, Ryo turn and slapped Dee's arm.

 

Dee's eyes widened and for a moment hurt flashed in his eyes, before he quickly turned around, his back to Ryo and putting some space between them.

 

Ryo watched Dee's reaction, sitting up more. “Dee?” he asked. When there came no answer, he snuggled up to Dee, placing his arm around Dee. “I wasn't serious, you know,” he said.

 

“Whatever,” came the mumbled response.

 

“Dee,” Ryo sighed, attempting to roll his dark haired partner on his back.

 

“Go to sleep, Ryo,” Dee snapped. He resisted Ryo's attempts to move him and buried himself further under the covers.

 

“Hey, I was just teasing you,” Ryo said.

 

“Well, I thought you were,” Dee replied, “until you slapped me away.”

 

Ryo frowned a little. “Although after I went back in there to grab our stuff, I sorta did expect you to say yes to making breakfast. Instead I get a stupid joke from you about my untidiness.”

 

“I didn't say I wouldn't make breakfast, goddammit!” Dee growled. “Are you not listening to me?”

 

“Then why didn't you just say, `Okay, baby. Deal.'?”

 

Dee let out a snort.

 

“And I didn't slap you away!” When he was greeted by silence he said, “You think I like it when you tell me I'm like every man, grunting and rolling over after the act?” Ryo sighed, annoyed. “Fine. Good night.”

 

Dee finally moved to look over his shoulder at Ryo. “You rather I called you a woman?” he asked.

 

Ryo leaned over to kiss Dee's cheek, then settled down on his side of the bed again.

 

Dee sat up a little. “Jesus, Ryo! I call you a man and you get fuckin' insulted?”

 

“I get fuckin' insulted now, Dee.”

 

“Fine. Good night.” Dee tucked himself back under the covers on the far end of his side, his back to Ryo.

 

Ryo ended up sitting up on his side of the bed. He ran his fingers through his wayward hair. “God, can't we even have one fuckin' single day that doesn't end with us fighting over something?” he asked, completely at his wit's end. Everyday it was always the same lately. Everyday it was something they were yelling at each other about.

 

“I don't know,” Dee replied after sighing. He still did not move.

 

“I mean, we just had, had this….” He made a wild gesture to indicate the sex they recently had. “And then this now. I….” Ryo fell silent, not knowing what else to say.

 

Dee let out a heavy sigh and moved his head slightly so he could be heard. “I was planning on spending the night snuggling up to you because of what we just did.”

 

“So was I,” Ryo admitted. He cursed himself as he felt the tears gather in his eyes. Once again, it felt as if it was all coming apart on them. Too often lately, Ryo felt as if this was the beginning of the end for them. He didn't want it to end. He wanted Dee forever.

 

Dee sighed again and rolled onto his back, his arm draped across his face. He moved his arm from his eyes to look at Ryo, noticing the tears. “Aw baby… don't,” he softly said.

 

Ryo shook his head angrily. There had been a lot of that too lately. Anger, being pushed to his limits of dealing with it. His language had gone away at some point with his tidiness. His anger was not always directed toward Dee. There were times it was directed at himself. This was one of those times. “I'm always screwing up no matter what I do,” he stated. He fought to keep his tears at bay, to not allow them to fall.

 

“Don't say that,” Dee remarked, sitting up.

 

One tear managed to leak out, rolling down Ryo's flushed cheek. He lifted his arm to angrily wipe it away.

 

“Ryo,” Dee started.

 

Ryo dropped onto his back, laying down and looking blankly up at the ceiling, before closing his eyes.

 

With a heavy sigh, Dee rolled onto his side facing Ryo, closing the distance between them so he could lean against Ryo's body. He gently stroked Ryo's cheek. “Don't blame yourself, baby. I don't know what's wrong lately. I mean, I should have known you were joking.”

 

“Yes, you should,” Ryo remarked.

 

“I should know you well enough,” Dee added.

 

Ryo opened his eyes, glaring at Dee. “I'm not like some sex animal, screwing you and then grunting and rolling over to fall asleep.”

 

Dee blinked, still confused at why Ryo found that annoying, and started to lose some of his patience again. “But still, sheesh… Get over that already,” he snapped.

 

Ryo's glare got harder. “You always make jokes and tease me, but when I do, you go all… `Fine!' on me.” He shut his eyes again, because those damn tears wanted to fall again.

 

Dee took a deep breath. “Look, I said I thought you were teasing at first. But you took it a bit too far….” He immediately closed his mouth after hearing what he was saying.

 

“What?” Ryo demanded.

 

Dee shook his head. “I'm sorry,” he apologized. “Baby, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it like it sounded.”

 

Ryo opened his eyes, angry tears escaping and falling down his cheeks. He glared again at Dee, his stare demanding Dee to explain himself.

 

“I just meant… hell, Ryo. All I wanted at that moment was to snuggle up to you. Not make stupid jokes to your back.”

 

“You started making stupid jokes!” Ryo snapped.

 

Dee shook his head roughly. “I always make stupid jokes - long before you fell in love with me.” He shook his head again. “Okay, fine. So you want me to stop joking then?”

 

“Oh, and I gotta accept that because that's how you are? Okay! But you don't accept it, when it's how I am? Right?”

 

Dee reached the end of his patience and was unable to hold back. He pushed himself into a sitting position and stared down at Ryo. “You don't know when to stop, dammit!” he yelled in anger.

 

“Jesus Dee,” Ryo snapped. “I know I'm not perfect, but can't you just say, `Ryo, this isn't funny anymore. Please, turn over and stop this?' instead of expecting me to read your freakin' mind all the time?

 

“Shit,” was all that came from Dee, more a mutter as he dropped onto his back again.

 

Ryo got up from the bed and started to walk to the bathroom door.

 

“I was trying to tell you,” Dee said.

 

Ryo spun to face the bed. “Stop trying!” he yelled. “And just say it!”

 

“You should know me by now,” Dee replied, still not moving..

 

“I'm sorry I'm so dumb!” Ryo continued to yell. “But I've always been like that, long before you fell in love with me!”

 

“You should know that when I snuggle, I don't want fuckin' joke about turning away from me, dammit!” Dee's voice rose, but he still remained as he lay.

 

Ryo turned without saying anything else, and went into the bathroom, slamming the door.

 

Dee let out a troubled sigh as he stared up at the ceiling in the suddenly quiet room. The room felt too empty to him, the bed too big. He continued to stare at the ceiling, refusing to ask what was happening. If he did, he knew he might have to answer some questions he was not ready to yet.

 

Meanwhile in the bathroom, Ryo sat on the toilet seat. He leaned over with his elbows on his legs, and started to cry into his hands.
