Chapter 9

XXXXXXX

 

Ryo is in Drew's kitchen, with his shirt off. Wondering, how he came to be here. They were riding along, somehow his latte ended up all over his shirt and down the front of his pants. So here he is, letting Drew try to get the stain out.

 

“Ryo, I'm so sorry, I can't believe how clumsy I am. Please, say you forgive me. Let me get a towel for you.”

 

He rushes out of the kitchen, smiling to himself, as he goes to get a towel for Ryo. Giddy, that the blonde-haired man is actually in his home, he looks for his best towels, because only the best, is good enough for Ryo.

 

Ryo stands in the kitchen shirtless, and thinks about Dee and the others, waiting on him. He wonders why Dee hasn't called and looks for his jacket and his cell phone.

 

As he is looking at the message light, Drew walks back in with a towel.

 

He watches as Ryo flicks his phone open and knows this is the end of his time with the blonde-haired man. He hands the towel to Ryo and walks back to the sink, to see if he can get the rest of the coffee stains out.

 

Ryo listens to Dee's voice on the phone and frowns. He dials his lover's number and waits as it rings. Dee picks up on the second ring.

 

“Ryo! Where are you man! Everyone is waiting on you! What's taking you so long?”

 

“I'm at Drew's place; I had an accident with my shirt. I spilled coffee all over me and he's trying to get it out. When I leave here you still want me to meet you or should I just head home. He lives in Jersey.”

 

“What! He didn't try anything did he? I wouldn't put it past him.”

 

“Stop being a worry wart, I'm fine. I'll get back as soon as I can so save me a beer will you? I'll see you soon.”

 

He hangs up the phone and turns to Drew, as he shakes his head.

 

“I'm sorry about holding you up Ryo, but I think I got it out so let me get my blow dryer and you should be all set. Take this; it should help keep you warm.” He hands Ryo a small glass of brandy and walks to his bathroom for the dryer.

 

Ryo watches his back wondering if he set this up and was now trying to get him drunk. He seems nice enough and he did tell him he was seeing someone, but he didn't want to hurt his feelings, so he sniffs it and swallows it all.

 

He could feel the warm liquor spread through out his body as he feels his face begin to flush. He shakes his head from the strong drink, thinking he should have sipped it. He sits in one of the kitchen chairs as his head starts to spin.

 

Drew comes back in with his shirt and looks at Ryo, “Are you okay Ryo?”

 

“I don't think I should drive in this condition, I feel light headed right now.”

 

Drew looks over at the glass and smiles at him. “That was some very old brandy; I only give to special people. I should have told you it was 100 proofs. I thought you would sip it, that's why I gave you so little. You don't drink do you?”

 

Ryo looks up at him with a silly smile, “How can you tell?”

 

He lays his head on the table, “Hand me my phone, please.”

 

Drew looks around and sees it on the counter, “You could stay here until you feel able to drive Ryo. I could fix you something to eat and you should be right as rain. So rest right now and you should be better soon.”

 

He leaves Ryo's phone on the counter and looks in the fridge for something to make for him. He pulls out leftover ham and turns to look at Ryo. He smiles and sends up a silent prayer to heaven that he has him for a little longer.

 

Ryo groans, “Can I have some water Drew, my stomach feels funny and where is my phone?”

 

Drew pours him a glass of water, hands it to him and places his phone on the table. “Who are you going to call? If you're that anxious to leave, I can drive you home and take a cab back.”

 

“It's not that I'm anxious, I have a son and he doesn't know where I am. I have to make sure he's okay.”

 

“You're a father, I had no idea.”

 

“Why would you? We've only just met, yet here I am at your apartment, drunk!”

 

“It's just that, you don't look like a father. Not that I know what a father looks like.” He hands the sandwich to Ryo and sits across from him staring in his face.

 

Ryo picks up the sandwich and takes a bite. “Umm…this tastes good. I forgot I haven't eaten since lunch. That's why the liquor affected me the way it did. Thanks Drew. This should do fine.”

 

Drew smiles at him, “It's my fault for giving it to you on an empty stomach. However, I meant what I said I could drive you home and take a cab back here. I'm going to pick my car up tomorrow so it won't be so bad. Hey, I could take the subway and then a cab.”

 

“I've already taken up enough of your time, I can have my partner pick me up and he could bring one of the other guys to drive my car. I don't want to put you out.”

 

Drew looks at Ryo and comes up with a good idea.

 

“I'll tell you what! I'll get a change of clothes drop you at your apartment and just stay in Manhattan overnight. Before Ryo could form an answer, he takes off for his bedroom.

 

Ryo takes the sandwich out of his mouth and calls Dee. He feels as if he is sneaking to call him and this makes him chuckle.

 

“Hello, Ryo! Tell me you're right outside and you're afraid to come in because if you're still at that guy's place, I'm on my way there!”

 

Ryo giggles, “You wouldn't even know where to go, so how are you coming here.” He giggles again into the phone.

 

“Ryo have you been drinking? You don't sound too good.”

 

“I have not been drinking, I'll have you know! I had one drink and it was 100 proofs so I might be a little high, not drunk.”

 

“Where are you Ryo? I'll come get you.” Dee is talking in a softer voice now, because he's scared. Ryo is so trusting that anything could happen to him. He knows he is not use to anything but beer and wine. Now he tells him he is drinking something that's 100 proofs.

 

“Oh don't worry about that, Drew is going to drive me home and stay in the city to get his job…wait…his car. Yeah his car, but that's tomorrow. He doesn't have one tonight though, so he's going to use mine. Have you talked to Bikky?”

 

“No, but I'll call him now and I'll be home when you get there, okay baby?”

 

Ryo chuckles again, “I knew you would rescue me Dee. You always come through for me. I love you Dee, do you love me?”

 

Now it's Dee's turn to chuckle, “You know I love you baby and when I see you I'll show you, so hurry home, okay”

 

“I sure will, my knight in shining armor. I should be home in, 20mins.

 

“Fine, I'll see you in twenty.” Dee hangs up the phone and he is fuming. He knew Drew would make his move on Ryo, once he got him to his house. In addition, to get him drunk like that, the guy is asking for it.

XXXXXXXX

 

Ryo is lying back with his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open.

 

Drew drinks in the face of the blonde and licks his lips. He is a sweet person, if you can call a guy sweet. He looks innocent lying there so relaxed. He thinks about stealing a kiss, but he knows, Ryo isn't as drunk as he was earlier and he just might punch him.

 

This guy is a cop after all and he has pretty quick reflexes or else the coffee would have done more damage.

 

He calls Ryo's name softly and tells him, they were on his street as Ryo sits up. He rubs his eyes and looks at Drew and tells him to pull up in front of his building.

 

“Why don't you come up and call a cab from my place. Call it my way of thanking you, for driving my car home.”

Dee unlocks the door to the apartment and calls out Bikky's name. Getting no answer, he walks to his door, pushes it open and he's not there. He goes to the phone, pushes the message light and Bikky's voice says he is spending the night at Lai's house.

 

He goes in the bedroom, hangs up his jacket, pulls his shirt over his head, and tosses it on the chair. He changes into some joggers and heads for the kitchen.

 

“Coffee should do him some good when he gets here. I wonder if he had anything to eat. Damn, he probably got drunk because he didn't have dinner.”

 

The door opens and Ryo comes in and Dee goes to the door with concern on his face. When he sees Drew, he's livid.

 

He pulls Ryo inside and puts his arm around his waist, “Are you alright Ryo?” He's looking down at him, watching his reaction.

 

“I'm fine Dee, I told you not to worry.” He smiles up at his lover and turns to Drew. “You remember Drew, right? He was nice enough to drive my car here. It wouldn't be nice for a detective to be drinking and driving. He needs to call a cab and I told him he could call one from here. Is Bikky asleep, Dee?”

 

“Ah, no he's at Lai's house and he's spending the night. I made coffee why don't you go lay down and I'll bring you a cup.” He kisses Ryo on top of the head and pushes him toward his bedroom.

 

“I'm sorry Drew, but I do need to lie down, Dee will get the phone for you. Good night and thanks again.” He waves as he goes into his bedroom and closes he door.

 

“I'm sorry about all this Dee, I really didn't know he doesn't drink and I didn't want him to drive his car, in his condition.”

 

Dee walks over to him and sniffs him, then narrows his eyes.

 

“You gave Ryo liquor and you didn't have any? Why was that and it better be good, because I'm not Ryo?”

 

“I don't know what you mean. I gave him only one drink and it was a small one. You sound as if I did it on purpose detective, is that what you're trying to imply?”

 

“I'm not implying anything; I'm saying you tried to get in his pants tonight. You've had the hots for Ryo since you laid eyes on him and knowing Ryo you thought, him being nice to you meant he liked you. I also know that you set him up. You knew your boss had sent those receipts out when you left the station, but I guess you lied because you were looking for a chance to get him alone.”

 

Dee laughs, “He told you he was seeing someone, didn't he? However, I'm sure you thought, if you could get him to listen, you just might have a chance. Am I right, Drew?” He looks at him with a sneer.

 

“You think you have it all figured out don't you? You have no proof that I set him up and I didn't do anything to him as you can see. I have nothing but respect for Ryo and I wouldn't do anything he didn't want me to do…umph!”

 

Dee hits him before he knows what's happening. He falls against the wall knocking the coat rack over and sliding down to the floor in a heap.

 

Dee walks over, looking down at him with both hands in fists, “I told you, I'm not Ryo, so don't try any of your bullshit with me! I don't believe a word coming out of your lying mouth! Now get your ass out of here before I do something worse!”

 

Drew shakes his head, pulls himself off the floor and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand as he glares at Dee. He backs up, picks up his bag, turns and leaves out the door.

 

Dee locks the door behind him and exhales. He leans his head against the door thankful that Ryo is safe and at home.

 

Peeking in the bedroom, he sees that Ryo is in the shower, so he goes and gets him some coffee and aspirin for the headache he knows he will have in the morning.

 

Ryo is in bed when Dee returns and he smiles up at him.

 

“Is that for me, Koi?”

 

“Yes it is sexy.”

 

“You are so sweet to me”

 

“I like being sweet to you, sexy.”

 

Ryo takes the cup and lays the aspirin on the nightstand.

 

“Did Drew call his cab?”

 

“Well…uh I'm sure he caught one.”

 

Dee walks over and picks up Ryo's clothes.

 

“He came up to call a cab, Dee.”

 

“And I said he got a cab.”

 

“I know a cab didn't come that quick.”

 

He looks at Dee because he isn't meeting his eyes and he's trying to pretend he is cleaning up their bedroom. Something he never does.

 

“While I was in the shower, I heard a noise. Did you hit him Dee?”

 

“Ah Ryo…why ask me something like that?”

 

“Because I know you Koi and you were angry when I got here, but as you can see, I'm fine.”

 

“I don't like what he tried to do.”

 

“Come to bed Dee, I guess I have to prove to you that I'm fine.” Dee chuckles, pulls his shirt over his head, and dives in besides his blonde lover, pulling him on top of his body sliding his tongue down the side of his neck.
