“Well that was a big waste of time!” Dee shakes out a cigarette and puts it to his lips lighting it.

Ryo rolls his eyes at Dee because he is tired of telling him that smoking is not good for him but he lights up every chance he gets.

“Come on Dee, let's go and interview his brother before we head back to the station. I want to have something to give the chief before the day ends.”

Dee sighs, “Yes dear.” He chuckles at the look on Ryo's face and gets in the car.

Ryo smiles at him, “Just for that little remark, you can do all the questioning of his brother yourself. I'm going to watch you and if we don't get what we need, then I'll let you to take all the blame.”

“I'll have you know, I do know how to interview witnesses, Mr. MacLean. I got you to tell me how you really feel about me didn't I?”

Ryo's cheeks turn a deep pink but he says nothing but `just drive'.

Dee and Ryo arrive back at the 27th and are going into their office when Traci comes over to find out if they have any new information on the case.

“Ryo, did you find out anything else about our victim? Please tell me you have something!” She smiles at Ryo as she strokes his arm.

Ryo looks over at Dee who is in the process of hanging up his jacket. He looks at Ryo as he rolls up his sleeves and gives him a smirk as if to say, “Didn't I tell you that you were beautiful.”

“Uh…we really didn't get too much from the M.E. or his brother, they hadn't spoken in three years and he didn't know what his brother was up too.” Ryo smiles at her and walks over to put his jacket next to Dee's.

Traci is watching him wondering why he doesn't get the signals she is sending out. Most men would be drooling all over her by now. She clears her throat and tries another tactic. Thinking maybe, she can get him alone.

Traci looks up at Ryo, “Well, it's almost time to quit for the day, do you have dinner plans?”

Dee chuckles at the look on his lover's face, “Ryo is having dinner with me and his son, tonight. We plan on going over the case to see if we can come up with a different strategy, maybe some other time, Traci.”

Ryo breathes a sigh of relief, silently thanking Dee, for the save when she says, “Oh good that sounds like a plan, I'll join you; I have some ideas I would like to run past the two of you also.”

Dee's face falls at the news, he is the one that gave her an opening, when he said they would be discussing the case. What can be more helpful than having the agent's opinion also?

As she is about to leave she turns, “Please come and get me before you head out and I'll ride with you. I'll see you guys later then.”

When she leaves out, Dee walks over to the door, closes it and leans against it, hitting it with the back of his head several times.

“I'm sorry Dee; I know it's my fault.” He runs his hand through his dark blonde hair with his head down.

Dee pushes off the door, pulls Ryo into his arms and kisses him on top of the head, “It's not your fault Ryo. You're just so irresistible to people. I know I can't resist you.”

Ryo looks up at his lover and gives him a half smile, “I can't resist you either Dee.” He kisses Dee sliding his tongue inside his mouth as he sucks on it lovingly.

This is the way they are when Dianna pushes the door open.

“Oops…sorry I didn't mean to interrupt!” She quickly closes the door behind her.

“I see the two of you take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself. You look so cute.” Dianna smirks at the two of them.

Ryo and Dee break apart, but are happy that it is only Dianna.

Dee puts his hands down by Ryo's waist and Ryo can feel his face turning red. He looks at the floor then at Dianna.

Dee glares at her, “Can't you learn to knock, sea-hag! When the door is closed that means we don't want to be disturbed!”

“Well what you need to do is try locking it, dumb-ass!” she glares back with her hands on her hips.

Ryo shakes his head and goes behind his desk pulling his notes out of his front shirt pocket. “The two of you need to stop before someone hears you.”

Dee glares at Dianna and then smiles. “What are you doing for dinner tonight, beautiful?”

Dianna laughs, “I'm already ahead of you. Traci comes back telling us, she is having dinner at Ryo's place, so I know that she invited herself and Sandra Dee here,” she jerks her head at Ryo, “couldn't refuse. That's why I'm here. I thought we could make it a working dinner, if the two of you don't mind.”

Ryo looks up at her with a smile, “So you are coming over also? That will be great, the more the merrier, right Dee? Uh…Dee what is it? You don't look so good.”

“Does this mean the Commissioner is coming too? I don't know if I want him there. The way he looks at Ryo in the office is bad enough, but outside of here, he may get carried away and I can't be responsible for what I might do to him. Between him and Traci, I'll be a very busy man tonight, damn!”

Dianna laughs, “Don't worry Dee, I'll be there and I will keep an eye on Berkley, I promise, even if I have to punch him out myself. However, I think Ryo should be the one that handles Traci.” The agent looks over at Ryo with her brows winged.

Ryo sighs, “I did want to keep our relationship to ourselves a little longer, at least, until I tell my aunt, but I guess it can't be helped.”

Dee walks over to Ryo, “You can let her know you're not interested without telling her about us babe.”

Ryo smiles up at Dee, “Are you telling me that you're embarrassed to be with me now?”

Dee chuckles, “Even you know that's not true. I'll tell her myself if you want me too. Hell! Why don't you let me tell her and I promise I'll be discreet too.”

Ryo blushes and looks at Dee with one eyebrow raised, “Thanks but I think she'll take it better coming from me. I'm not so sure about what you constitute as, discretion. You're too much of a loose cannon, Dee Laytner.”

Dianna looks at the both of them, “She says she's riding home with you, but don't worry about that, I'll bring her with me. What time would you like us to be at your place?”

Ryo looks at his watch, “If I'm having guest, I'll have to stop by the store and pick some things up so lets say about seven thirty?”

Ryo is in the kitchen sprinkling cheese on top of the lasagna, having decided this would be a quick meal to fix on such short notice. He opens the oven and slides it in and turns to Dee.

“Hey babe, do you think that's enough salad for all of us? With Bikky being here you know how he eats everything in sight.” Ryo runs his fingers through his hair as he says this, looking at Dee with a frown.

“Well this isn't a restaurant you know! They invited themselves over so they get what we give them and like it! We were supposed to be along tonight. I was looking forward to some Dee and Ryo time and you know what that leads too.” Dee smiles at Ryo over his shoulder with a lustful look in his eyes.

Ryo laughs and walks up behind him and puts his arms around his waist and kisses him on the side of the neck, “Don't worry Koi, we'll have our time together…I can promise you that.”

Dee turns around and pulls Ryo in his arms. He kisses him on the lips and slides down his chin to his throat. Ryo lets out little moaning sounds as he slides his hands up Dee's back, making small patterns with his nails softly.

Bikky stands in the doorway and clears his throat. He just watches them and shakes his head, “I hope the two of you don't act like that in front of company, because I'll be totally embarrassed!”

Ryo pulls apart from Dee as he blushes profusely and Dee just chuckles as he wipes his lips. “Don't worry; I'm sure Ryo can control himself when everyone gets here.”

“Dee!” He rolls his eyes at the younger man and turns to his son. “Bikky, did you finish your homework? I want to check it before everyone arrives.” He throws Dee a dirty look, as he tries to change the subject.

Bikky chuckles, “Okay Ryo, I get it. Does anyone else know about the two of you, I don't want to say the wrong thing tonight?” He looks from Ryo to Dee with a questioning look on his face.

Dee looks at Ryo as if to say `you field this one'. He is smiling as he cuts the tomatoes waiting for Ryo to answer.

“Well Bikky only Dianna and I think the commissioner knows, I'm pretty sure she told him, but the other two wouldn't know, unless someone told them and I don't think anyone has.”

Bikky looks up at Ryo, “So how many people have you told?”

Ryo looks over at Dee who is trying hard not to laugh aloud because his shoulders are shaking. He looks down at Bikky, “Well I don't know exactly…maybe three or four?”

Bikky looks over at Dee then back at Ryo as he throws a pointing thumb over his shoulder, “Why haven't the perv told more people, did you tell him not to?”

Ryo blushes deeper, “You see Bikky, it's a little more complicated than that. It's not a matter of me telling Dee not too…we both decided to keep it to ourselves a little longer, that's all.”

Ryo looks over at Dee to see if he is going to contradict him or go with the flow. He decides to go with the flow and Ryo is happy.

However, Bikky is not finished with his foster, soon to be, adopted father.

“I find it hard to believe that Dee would agree to something like that, knowing how he feels about you. He did chase you for almost two years. Are you ashamed to tell people about the two of you, is that it?”

Ryo looks at Dee when Bikky says this. His mouth drops open, asking himself…is he ashamed to be with Dee or is he just ashamed to admit he is gay?

He sits down at the kitchen table and looks down at his hands, “Do you think I'm ashamed to be with you Dee…are those your feelings also?” He looks up in Dee's face waiting for an answer. He remembers him saying he would tell Traci, they were together.

“Aw Ryo, don't listen to the brat, I know how you feel about me.” He places the knife down on the counter and walks behind Ryo putting his hands on his shoulders massaging gently.

Ryo closes his eyes for a second and looks up at Dee, “I hope you know I'm not ashamed to be with you, but I wanted to tell Aunt Elena, before I told the rest of the world. I'm sorry if I made you think something like that.”

Dee turns to Bikky, “If you've finished your homework bring it in here and go get washed up for dinner.”

Bikky looks at him and just nods as he goes off to do as he is told. He knows when they need to discuss things that did not concern him.

Dee gets down on his knees in front of Ryo and takes his hands in his, “Look Ryo, take all the time you need, I don't mind waiting, I've waited all this time without complaints didn't I? As long as you love me, I'll wait forever.”

Ryo smiles down at him and strokes the side of his face, “That's just it Dee, you shouldn't have to wait forever, you should be able to tell people now.” He bends down and kisses Dee's lips flicking his tongue over them before sliding it inside his mouth.

“I'll be right back babe.” Ryo gets up from the chair and heads for his bedroom as Dee looks after him, wondering what he is up too now.

XXXXXXX

Ryo sits on the side of his bed with his head in his hand while the other one is holding the phone. He takes a deep breath and prays, his Aunt is an understanding woman after all. He hated to disappoint her, after all she has done for him, but this is his life and he has a right to live it, as he sees fit.

He dials her number and listens to it as it rings. Maybe she was out for the evening, or she could be out of the country for all he knew. She just might understand, but if not, he won't give Dee up. He has never been happier in his life than when he met Dee and Bikky. No one and nothing is coming between his little…

“Hi Aunt Elena, how are you?”

“I'm fine Ryo, how are you and Bikky?”

“Oh, everything is going great. How is Uncle Mark?”

“Well he has a cold, but other than that, we're both doing okay?” Ryo…you don't sound like everything is fine, what's wrong?”

“Uh…I have something I want to tell you.”

“Well go ahead and tell me, I'm listening.”

“Well…it's about Dee.”

“He's your partner, right? He's okay isn't he?”

“Yes… he's okay. It's not that something is wrong with him. I wanted to uh…tell you that uh…we're together.”

“I know that Ryo. He's your partner right? Wait…what do you mean?”

“Just that, Aunt Elena…we're together…as in a couple not just working partners.”

“Oh I see…are you happy Ryo? I mean are you sure, you know what you're doing? I don't have a problem with it, but you know the problems you will face being together.”

“I'm well aware of the things we'll go through to be together, but in spite of that, he's the one I want to be with because I know I love him, and he loves me.”

She chuckles, “Well if that is how you feel than, congratulations sweetheart, I'm happy for the both of you. Dee seems like a great guy and I wish the two of you the best and please tell him that for me will you?”

Ryo laughs, “Thank you Aunt Elena, I knew you would understand.”

“Why wouldn't I understand, love is love no matter what the gender. I love you Ryo and anyone that you love I will love also. As long as you're happy so am I.”

“Well I have to go, I'm expecting some guess for dinner, but I hope that you and Uncle Mark will come to dinner soon, so you can get to know him, okay.”

“Of course dear, we'll be looking forward to it. Tell my nephew I said hello and give your young man my love.”

Ryo hangs up the phone and expels a breath he didn't realize he was holding. He looks up and Dee is standing in the doorway, leaning on the edge.

He smiles down at Ryo, “So you came in here to call your Aunt?” When Ryo smiles and nods, he smiles back, “Good, now I can tell everyone to stay away from you, because you belong to me.”

Ryo walks over to him with his arms open and Dee walks right into them and Ryo whispers in his ear. “Yes my love, you can tell everyone, I belong to you.”

“Ryo! Ryo! Your guests are here!”

“Come in Ms. Spacey! Nice to see you again!”

“Hi ya Bikky! Long time no see! Where's your mama!”

Bikky blushes and ducks his head down. “I'll go get them.”

“Have a seat, I'll be right back!” He takes off down the hall to Ryo's room.

Bikky knocks on the door and pushes it open and sees Ryo in front of the mirror combing his hair back and Dee changing his shirt.

“Didn't you hear me calling you? Dianna Spacey is here! Hurry up and…what were you two doing?” He looks over at Dee, “Did you do something to Ryo?”

Dee looks up from buttoning his shirt and glares at Bikky. “I didn't do anything to him you monkey-brat! He has a lot on his mind right now. He talked to Aunt Elena and now he is feeling light-headed.”

Dee looks at Ryo and smirks at him and Ryo roll his eyes. “Bikky, I talked to Aunt Elena and she knows that Dee and I are together so now I don't care who knows. She did however tell me to give you her love. Hopefully she will be visiting us soon.”

“I want you to eat dinner and then you can go out or go to your room because we will be discussing work tonight, okay?” Ryo lays the brush on the dresser.

“Kay, I want to meet up with Carol anyway, we're going to the movies with Lass and Lai tonight…do you think I could get an advance on next week's allowance Ryo?” Ryo looks at his foster son and gives him a smile, “Is your homework all done?”

Bikky chuckles, “All done and it's on the kitchen table waiting for you to check!”

Dee looks at Bikky, “How many people are in the living room Biks?”

He looks up at Dee, “I think there are four and that freak that always looks as if he is going to eat Ryo, is here too. Why did you invite him over? I thought you didn't like him.”

Ryo chuckles at him, “Well Bikky he is our boss and you know you have to be civil to him, even if we don't particularly care for the way he acts around me. I don't want you to embarrass me tonight, is that understood? I'm going out Dee, so hurry up!”

Ryo leaves out of the bedroom while the other two watch his back. Dee turns to Bikky, “How would you like to earn some money tonight brat?”

Bikky looks up at Dee and gives him a slow smile of understanding because he knows that when Dee wants him to do something it always turn out to be fun.

“Hi Dianna, and everyone, please let me get you something to drink!” He smiles at everyone and heads for the kitchen and is relieved to find that while he was on the phone Dee had set out the wine and some glasses on a tray. Thank god for Dee! The two of them worked so well together, at work and at home!

As he checks on the lasagna's progress Traci comes in the kitchen. “Ryo! Can I give you a hand with anything? I'm pretty good in the kitchen…among other the places.”

Ryo can feel the blush coming over his face as she says this and turns away. “Uh…if you would, you can take the tray into the living room if it's not too much trouble.”

Traci walks over to get the tray and brushes up against him and smiles. Bikky is standing in the doorway watching this exchange as he chuckles to himself thinking. “Why is everyone always after Ryo? The man is just too nice for his own good.”

At that time, Ryo notices Bikky and smiles at him, “Traci this is my son Bikky, have you met him?” She looks down at the dark brown, blue eyed blonde and then back at Ryo. “I saw him when we came in but I didn't know he was your son. Hello Bikky it's nice to meet you. Well, I'll just take these refreshments in to the other room.”

Ryo watches as she leaves, “Is Dee at least in the living room with our guest?” Bikky nods and says yes and that he is ready to eat.

“Uh…I have something I want to run pass you. I mean I won't do it if you don't approve that is.” Ryo pulls some plates down turning his back to Bikky trying not to look the teenager in the face.

“I was wondering if you would mind if I ask Dee to move in with us, I mean he's always here anyway…so it really wouldn't be that much of a difference if he was living here officially. What do you think?”

Bikky chuckles and grabs a piece of cheese sticking it in his mouth. “Would you be happier if he was around all the time? I mean it makes no difference to me because every time you come home he is either with you or on his way here. As long as he can't boss me around I don't mind.”

Ryo looks at Bikky and narrows his eyes, “I don't understand Bikky, you do what he tells you now so why would it be any different if and I mean if, he moves in?”

“Well it's bad enough that I have to do what you say but he might treat me like a slave!”

Ryo laughs and grabs Bikky in a bear hug, “I can't see you acting like a slave for anyone Bikky, and no, I can't see that in a million years.”

Bikky looks up at Ryo and his heart swells at seeing the laughter on his face and again counts himself lucky. He smiles up at Ryo and wraps his arms around his waist and his head on his chest.

Dee comes in on this little father, son, bonding and smiles at the both of them. Dianna comes in behind Dee and smile at the two of them holding onto each other oblivious to the picture that the two of them make. They were laughing and holding each other up and both turned when they heard Dee say, “Can I get in on the joke?”

Bikky looks at him and drops his arms, “You are the joke, perv!” Ryo laughs at the look on Dee's face and hits Bikky on the back of the head playfully.

“Ouch! Damn Ryo, that hurts! We were talking about him after all right, so he is the joke!”

Dee says, “What is he talking about Ryo, I thought we had this conversation before.” He is looking at Ryo with a smirk on his face remembering when he had first told Ryo not to take his feeling as a joke.

Ryo stops' laughing as he also remembers, “No Dee, we were talking about you living with us…if you wanted to that is. I …I mean I would like for you to think about it…that is.” He looks up at Dee as his face turns a bright shade of pink but he doesn't look away.

Dee looks over at Ryo, “Well Ryo is that what you would like for me to do? You know I do everything you tell me, so why should this be any different! I would love to be with you…and even the brat.”

Dianna claps her hands, “This is a reason to celebrate, I'm so happy for the two of you! Come on Bikky let's keep the people in the other room and give them some privacy.”

Bikky allows her to lead him out of the kitchen as the two lovers gaze in the other's eyes smiling like children. He looks over his shoulder as he sees Dee walk over to his foster father and him open his arms to Dee.

XXXXXXX

Dianna has her arm around Bikky and he loves it, as they join the others in the living room. “We have to give them a minute in the kitchen right now, but dinner should be ready soon.”

Bikky looks up at Dianna and she smiles and winks at him as he turns to Commissioner Rose and asks if he wants anything else to drink. He grabs the bottle with a half smile on his face and tops off everyone's drink. Dianna is watching him with amusement as he plays host.

XXXXXXX

Back in the kitchen our two lovers are locked in a warm embrace enjoying their new found status as roommates and live in lovers.

Ryo pulls back and looks up at Dee, “You do want to live with us don't you Dee? You're not just agreeing with me for my sake are you?”

Dee chuckles, kisses him on the lips, and says next to his mouth, “I like spending all my time with you Ryo, no matter where it is. I told you man, I'm in love with you, now and always.”

Ryo puts his head on Dee's chest, “I like spending time with you to Dee. I hate it when you go home and this way you will always be home.” The timer for the oven goes off and they break apart as Ryo removes the pan from the oven.

Dee takes the plates into the dinning room and begins setting the table with a large smirk on his face.

Rose is watching Dee wondering what he is smiling about when Ryo comes out with the food. Traci runs over to him, offering her help and he looks at her smiling, “No thank you, I think I've got it all under control.” He pats her arm and goes back into the kitchen to bring out the rest of the dishes.

XXXXXXX

Ryo is sitting at one end of the table and Dee is sitting at the other.

This fact is not lost on Rose as he looks from one to the other. They seem to have something silent going on between the two of them, as the conversation flows easily.

“You seem right at home here, Det. Laytner, as if you live here yourself. Did I miss something between the two of you?”

Ryo's cheeks turn pink, as he looks at Dee knowing he loves to stick it to the Commissioner every chance he gets, but he surprises him with his answer.

“We are partners after all Sir, what would you have me do, act as a guest every time I come? I don't think Ryo will be very tolerant of me hanging here and needing to be waited on…Sir.” Dee smirks at Rose as he takes a sip of his wine.

Ryo looks around the table and can see that everyone is listening to the exchange between the two men. As he is about to say something Bikky speaks up.

“Didn't you hear he will be moving in with us? I feel like he already is a member of our family but the two of them are making it official now. I guess it's like one more egg to fry.”

Ryo and Dee both look at Bikky and Ryo chuckles.

“You are a very insightful little boy Bikky.” Dianna smiles down at him as she pats his hand.

He turns to Dianna, “What that mean? Is that good or bad?”

Traci smiles, “That young man means, you see very well into other's hearts and see what they truly feel even if they don't admit it.”

Bikky looks at her with a smile, “Well, I call them as I see them I guess.”

Everyone laughs at that statement and the tension is depleted, so everyone is able to relax more.

“Dee, would you mind helping me with the dessert please? Traci you don't mind helping to clear the table do you? I remember you offering before.”

“Of course Ryo, I will love to help you. Dee you can relax I'll help him with the dessert too.”

She is smiling as she clears the table and the others continue their conversation. Bikky gets up and goes around to Dee's seat, “Uh…per…uh Dee I'm getting ready to leave so can I have my allowance now?”

He is giving Dee the most angelic smile he can muster.

Dee reaches in his pocket and pulls out his wallet, as he opens it Bikky snatches out a twenty, “This is enough, thanks man. Tell Ryo I won't be home late!”

He runs out the door slamming it behind him.

Steven laughs, “That kid seems like he's a handful, but for some reason I like him. He speaks his mind without hesitation.”

Rose mumbles under his breath, “He talks too much, if you ask me.”

Steven looks over at the older man and chuckles, “What's the matter Commissioner, he doesn't work for you?”

Rose glares at him, “What are you trying to say agent, that I only like yes men, because there is nothing further from the truth.”

Dee perks up, “Yeah, our Commissioner likes the free flowing of ideas…before he shoots them down.”

Dianna laughs out loud and the others laugh with her. “The two of you will never get along will you?”

Dee just chuckles at her statement and Rose glares at her, “Its hard being at the top, De De…some people just like giving you a hard time for little things.”

XXXXXX

Ryo and Traci are in the kitchen as he brings out the fresh baked chocolate cake that he had purchased at the store earlier. She is watching Ryo as he slices the cake and puts it on plates as he hands them too her.

“Why don't you take these in and I'll bring in the rest.” He gives her a smile and turns back to putting cake on the rest of the plates. She opens her mouth to say something and changes her mind. She sighs, turns and walks out of the kitchen.

Ryo looks over his shoulder at her and shakes his head because he knows she is in for a world of disappointment when she finds out that Dee is his boyfriend. He smiles to himself as he thinks about Dee living with him and Bikky, his heart does a little dance.

As he puts the last of the cake on the plates Dee walks in. “Hey sexy, are you going to join us or what?”

Ryo smiles up at him and hands him two plates, “Now don't get impatient Koi, I'm on my way.”

Dee holds the two plates up and steals a kiss from the older man as he looks up at the cake. He blushes and laughs and pushes Dee with his hip and heads back into the dining room.

“Here we go everyone, I hope you all like chocolate, and Dee is the one that chose it. I'll bring in the coffee in a minute.”

Dianna jumps up, “Ryo sit, sit, Berky and I will get the coffee and cups, won't we darling?” She pulls him out of his seat and into the kitchen.

Ryo chuckles, as the Commissioner is being drag to the kitchen by Dianna. She is the only one that can get away with treating him that way. He looks over at Dee and smile and Dee gives him a wink in return.

Steven catches the look between the two partners and sits back in his seat wondering if in fact they are lovers, more then roommates. He smiles to himself and wonders if Dee is really in the dark about who he is or if he is trying to be discreet.

He looks over at Ryo and he can see what Dee would see in him but later he`d find out if Dee is playing games or if he really has forgotten him.

Yeah this night is going to be very interesting, very interesting indeed.
