Ryo and Dee make it to Drake's hospital room to find JJ asleep holding Drake's hand. Dee walks over to him and puts his hand on his shoulder, shaking him gently. He looks up at Dee and smile.

 

“Hi Mr. Wonderful, hi Ryo, are you guys off already? What time is it?”

 

“Hold on JJ, one question at a time, ok buddy? To tell the truth, we ran out and came here, it's 5:45.”

 

JJ looks up at Dee and he explains what they found at Taylor Sim's apartment and about Rose.

 

“Oh I see…he is jumping the gun a bit. Well it's been calm on the floor all afternoon and there's been no change in Drake-senpai. I hope he at least opens his eyes before the Commissioner calls me back to duty.” He brushes his finger tips lightly over Drake's forehead looking down at him with a heartrending look. “I miss my partner looking out for me.”

 

Ryo puts his hand on JJ's shoulder, “Now it's your turn to look out for him. After all, you did save him from being killed JJ and that's something to be thankful for. At least now he has a chance to get back on his feet. That's all thanks to you.”

 

JJ looks up at the blonde and falls into his arms crying, as Ryo holds him. Dee stands behind him, patting his back.

 

“I didn't think about…hic…that Ryo…hic…I would do…hic anything for him. I just want…hic…him to wake up.”

 

“Shhh…Shhh…JJ, he's going to wake up soon, but right now he needs to sleep so he can heal. I know the first person he is going to want to see is you, but you need to be smiling. If you're not smiling JJ, he's going to think he's worst than what he is, so don't cry.”

 

JJ pulls back from Ryo and looks up in his face, “You're right Ryo, and I do need to be smiling. I need to smile for him so he'll know he's going to be fine.” He wipes his eyes with the handkerchief Ryo hands him.

 

Dee looks over at the bed and smirks; he then takes JJ by the shoulders turning him around. Drake has his eyes open, looking at JJ.

 

“Oh Drakey…you're awake!” JJ goes over to the bed and puts his hand on Drake's face and smiles down at him. Drake looks in his face and smiles back.

 

“I'll go get a doctor, thank heaven he open his eyes.” Ryo goes out and heads for the nurses station.

 

Dee looks at Drake with his hands in his pockets grinning from ear to ear. “You gave us a scare for a moment there man. JJ hasn't left your side since you came in.”

 

Drake looks from JJ to Dee and tries to speak and starts getting agitated, so JJ tells him not to speak because Ryo went to get the doctor.

 

Ryo comes in with the doctor who goes over to check on Drake, as a nurse comes in with a smaller machine in tow.

 

She tells them to wait outside while the doctor examines him. They file out with JJ telling Drake he'll be right outside and let's his hand go reluctantly.

 

“He opened his eyes! Isn't that great?” JJ is grinning and bouncing up and down.

 

Ryo and Dee look at the silver haired man and smile. Dee puts his arm around Ryo and answers, “Yeah JJ, it's great. Now you can get some rest. I told you he was going to be fine.”

 

“I know but I was so frightened, they got the bullet out of his chest because his vest stopped it from going as deep as they thought at first, but you never know.” He notices Dee's arm around Ryo and looks away. He still can't get his head around the two of them being a couple.

 

Dee is the love of his life and he knows Dee is truly in love with Ryo but he cannot help but resent Ryo a little. Knowing Dee chased the man for almost two years and avoided him, makes his heart break even more. He watches as Ryo looks up in Dee's face and smile as green eyes meet ebony. No, he doesn't resent Ryo he hates him! He hates everything about him because everyone wants Ryo, even the Commissioner! JJ walks over to the window looking in Drake's room but they have the curtain closed so he really can't see anything but he stares anyway, trying to get his anger under control. What he wants to know is what makes Ryo so special. Why can't he get the attention the blonde gets every time he walks in a room?

 

JJ turns, when he hears his name called.

 

“We're going to check on Drew, will you be okay or would you like to come with us. When we get back they should be finish with Drake. We won't stay long.” Ryo looks at him with sympathy in his dark eyes.

 

That is the kind of thing he is always doing. Always thinking of someone else. Ryo is just too nice for his own good! He hates his kindness, hates his false concern, and hates how he has fooled people into thinking he genuinely cares about you. This guy is just too much! “No, I'm going to stay here and wait on the doctor to come out. I want to be in there as soon as they leave. I don't want Drakey to think I left him alone.”

 

“We understand JJ. We won't be long, I want to say goodnight to Drew since I told him I would stop back by before I went in for the night.” Ryo turns to Dee, “You can stay here if you want, I won't mind.”

 

Dee smiles at his lover and tells him, “Nah, babe, I'll follow you. Where you go, I go. We'll see you in a while JJ, okay?”

 

JJ nods his head and turns back to the curtained glass wall, staring once again at his reflection. Wishing Dee had offered to stay with him but he knows that will never happen as he sighs despondently to himself.

Drew is sitting up in bed hoping Ryo will keep his promise and stop by to see him. His parents left with his uncle and aunt a little while ago and he heard, the people that did this to him killed a cop and shot up another one and the wounded cop is on the same floor.

 

He leans back sighing deeply, wishing he had kept his mouth shut. The owner is dead and he knew the man that was killed earlier. He didn't know exactly what was going on but from what he overheard the owner was laundering the counterfeit money through the restaurant. Maybe he should mention that to Ryo when he came by. Then again, maybe he should find out how much Ryo knows about his boss before he goes off half cocked.

 

This is how he ended up in the hospital in the first place, helping a good looking cop. Had he known the owner was involved, he would have never said anything to Ryo about coming down to the station or providing a detailed description of the last person with the dead man.

 

He always was a sucker for a handsome man and Ryo is no exception. He is handsome, charming and sexy. His lips are made for kissing and with his eyes being so dark; they probably turned a smoky onyx when he was in the throes of passion. He could see himself getting lost in Ryo's dark onyx eyes. Yeah the man was worth wanting.

Ryo pushes the door to Drew's room open and walks in slowly. He is looking at Drew with a big grin on his face. Drew is sitting up smiling at him. He raises his hand to his face to show no more mask.

 

“Well you certainly look much better today. How do you feel Drew?” Ryo heads for the bed and the man sitting up giving him a big twisted smile.

 

Before he can answer, Dee walks. He looks at the man in the bed and smirks. “I see you're doing better Drew, glad you're going to make it. You had Ryo worried about you and we can't have that can we?”

 

“Dee! If you're not going to be pleasant than you can go wait with JJ, understand?” Ryo looks at him with one eyebrow arched and his arms folded in front of him. Trying to get Dee to be pleasant to people he think are his rivals is hard, since Dee is going to be Dee.

 

“Yeah, yeah I'll be on my best behavior. Don't have a cow.” He waves his hand in a dismissive way.

 

Drew is watching as he smiles at the both of them, “You two have been together a long time haven't you?”

 

Ryo turns and looks at him, “Why do you say that?”

 

“Because you compliment each other.”

 

Ryo blushes as he looks from Drew too Dee and back again.” You think so? Well we've been partners for two years and lovers only a few months.”

 

“Not from lack of trying, for those two years.” Dee mumbles under his breath.

 

Drew chuckles, “You had to chase him for two years? I don't know if I could have waited that long.”

 

Ryo smiles at him, “What makes you think he chased me? How do you know I didn't chase him? When I first saw him, I knew I wanted him. I've always wanted him to belong only to me, in mind and body.”

 

Dee chuckles, walks behind Ryo and encircles his waist with his arms. He looks at Drew, “Don't let Ryo's gentle way fool you. He can be pretty aggressive when he wants something, badly.” He winks at Drew, “He wanted me badly.”

 

Drew drops his head, “I see…I'm happy for the two of you and Dee you don't have to worry about me trying to come between the two of you. Besides, I don't know if I'm going to stay. My mom wants me back home…at least until I recuperate.”

 

Ryo smiles, “I think that sounds like a good plan Drew, but I take it you don't want to go?”

 

The young man in the bed sighs, “The reason they want me home is because I have no one here to take care of me while I heal. I'm seriously thinking of going into a nursing home for the time being. I don't know that many people here.”

 

“How long have you been here?” Ryo tries to leave Dee's embrace.

 

I've been here for almost four years and I still have very few friends.”

 

“Well you do have me…I mean us. Dee's bark is worst then his bite and I know the two of you could be friends if you tried.”

 

Dee tightens his arms around Ryo, “Yeah, that sounds good but we have to be going back Ryo, they're probably finish checking Drake out by now.”

 

Ryo pulls out of his arms, “Why don't you go ahead and tell Drake I'll be there shortly, okay?”

 

His arms drop from around Ryo and he looks down in his face as the blonde winks at him.

 

Dee says, “See ya later Drew, don't keep him to long. You still need rest.” He walks out the door pulling it up behind him.

 

Drew looks at the door in shock, “I'm surprised he left you alone with me. The last time you were alone with me he punched me.”

 

“Yeah I'm sorry about that. He thought you got me drunk. He knows I don't drink that often, unless I'm with him. He worries about me a lot. I should say, we worry about each other. However, I'm sure you don't want to hear about my love life, so tell me why you want to go in a nursing home and not back to Chicago with your mom and dad?”

 

He leans back in bed, “I left home because I couldn't be myself and here I can. I can date women or men if I want, but there it's taboo in my family. I'm over twenty-one but they treat me as if I'm still a child. I only have a broken leg and a few cracked ribs so I should be fine in a few weeks. Besides, won't you need me in court? I want the bastard that did this to me and killed the owner, to pay. I may need help getting around, but I still have my aunt and uncle to help some, although I don't want to be a burden.”

 

Ryo smiles, “I'll help you also Drew, so don't think you're along in this okay? I wanted to stay behind and tell you that, so now all I have to do is convince Dee, you need us.”

 

“You are truly a friend Ryo, but you don't owe me anything and I don't want to cause problems in your relationship with Dee.”

 

Ryo laughs, “I can handle Dee, and he's really a very good person. Don't worry about him okay?”

 

“If you say so Ryo, I rather not be around him to much, he makes me nervous, I never know if he is going to punch me or not.”

 

“Like I said don't worry, he loves me and I know he won't upset me on purpose. But I have to go and I will see you tomorrow, so get some rest.”

Ryo walks into Drake's room and they are all gathered around the television watching the press conference with the commissioner and the agents at his side. Ryo slides up next to Dee and slips his hand into his as they listen. He turns and looks at him and then back at the set. He whispers in his ear. “Is your boyfriend tucked in for the night?”

 

“That isn't nice Dee and he's not my boyfriend.” Ryo tries to pull his hand out but Dee holds it tighter. He looks over at Ryo with a smirk and turns his back to the TV, as Rose finishes up. “I need to speak to you babe. Hey, excuse us okay, be right back.”

 

JJ turns with a smile, “Don't mind us, and take your time.”

 

Drake looks at JJ with a puzzled look on his face, “Ryo is spending too much time with Drew and Dee-senpai doesn't like it. I can't say that I blame him. Ryo should be grateful that senpai even looks his way.”

 

Drake rolls his eyes and doesn't say anything because if he points out that Dee is the one that chased Ryo and not the other way around, JJ would just ignore him.

XXXXXXXX

 

Dee and Ryo are standing in the hall down from Drake's room and he is a little upset. “Ryo, why do you always want to see that baka, alone? I don't like it and I would like for you not to send me out again…okay?”

 

Ryo puts his two fingers to his forehead and massages, “But Dee, you literally scare the hell out of him and he is still healing. You do remember punching the guy don't you? Well, he remembers very well.”

 

Dee sighs in exasperation, “Ah, Ryo the guy got you drunk and he led you on a wild goose chase. He's lucky that's all I did. You know how I am. You're too nice and people take advantage of that. But you cannot keep seeing that guy or you're going to make him think he has a chance with you.”

 

“Don't exaggerate Dee, he knows I'm with you and as far as he's concern, I chased you!”

 

“You don't really think he believed that do you? I was standing next to you and I didn't believe you. You're no good at lying babe.”

 

That's only because you now me so well, Koi. He doesn't know me at all. He only knows I seem nice.”

 

The younger man throws his hands up in submission, “Whatever Ryo, just remember what I said okay?”

 

“Yes Dee.” He smiles at the raven-haired man and slides his hand back inside of his hand as they go back to Drake's room.

 

Ryo is smiling as they enter and goes over to Drake, “You look much better than last night Drake. Do you feel any better?”

 

JJ glares at Ryo, “Of course he doesn't feel any better Ryo! He was shot twice and he can't breathe that well, so talking is very hard for him right now, please doesn't ask him too many questions.”

 

They all look at JJ as if he grew two heads after that outburst. Ryo blushes, “I didn't realize it's that hard to speak, I'm sorry Drake.”

 

Dee turns on JJ, “It's no big deal Ryo. How could you know? JJ is acting like a dick, about Drake. You didn't do anything wrong.”

 

Drake looks at Ryo and smiles at him. He whispers, “I'll be okay Ryo…thanks.”

 

“I…I think I'm going to leave. I have to get home to Bikky.” He turns and heads out the door.

 

Dee glares at JJ, “You are such a little bitch, sometimes. You'll always be alone!” He turns and walks out leaving the two men alone once again.

 

Drake closes his eyes and whispers, “Maybe you should leave too, JJ. I need to rest and so do you.”
