I do NOT own FAKE...which is sad because Dee and Ryo are already owned by the great Sanami Matoh...although I wouldn't mind if she'd let me have a go at 'em! *^-^*

I do not own these lyrics either!

PROLOGUE:

"I appreciate you offering but I'm afraid I have to decline", replied a hesitant Ryo. He was both afraid and determined to tell his hot headed partner just how he felt. After all, he thought about this exact moment for the longest time.

"What?...why?...I love you and you love me...that's all that matters, right?" Dee asked desperately. He had hoped Ryo would be happy and accept, but he thought wrong as he put away his present.

Breathing deeply, Ryo found his courage once again and answered,"That's the thing Dee...YOU may love me as more than a friend but I....I...I don't....I'm not like that...I want a wife...and kids...I want a home where I can come to and-"

"I CAN give you a home and we can adopt as many kids as you want!" Dee explained as he grabbed Ryo by the shoulders,"Please, don't do this to me, do you know what you are doing?...You're telling me you don't want a life with me....is that what you really want?"

Unable to look Dee in the eyes, Ryo simply mumbled a "yes".

Torn apart by rejection, Dee shouted, "You're lying!...who put you up to this? Bikky? Elena?"

"NO ONE!" shouted the blonde detective, who was at the point of breaking down. "This is my decision and mine alone, so please respect me..."

"Have I done something wrong? Was I too selfish? If I was I'm sorry! I just love you too damn much!" cried the dark hair man.

"Dee please! It's nothing like that" Ryo said with a sob.

"What about these past two years? Did I not mean anything to you at all?...Have I not proved my love for you countless of times?"

"Of course you have" Ryo said quietly,"Nothing's wrong with you...it's me...Dee, I'm happy you gave me your love unconditionally...but I don't think I'll be able to return it the way you want me to..."

"So this is it?....it's over, just like that?" Dee said emotionally as he caressed Ryo's face for one last time.

"I guess so...."

With tears flowing down his face, Dee released his hold on Ryo and turned away. Heading to the door, Dee paused to pull himself together, but collapsed when he heard that sweet voice that always invaded his mind.

It asked,"We could still be friends, right?"

Unable to control the pain in his heart, Dee nodded his head and answered,"Yeah....whatever you say...partner..." and headed out the door, away from the man he loved.

/Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight/

Night swallowed New York City quickly as the sun slumbered while the moon awoke. The only light visible came from the lonely apartment of NYPD's 27th Precinct's Randy "Ryo" McLean. After the departure of his heart broken partner, the blonde laid his head back against his apartment door. Tears of sorrow threatened to fall as the detective tried his best to compose himself. To no avail, his defense crumbled, causing his tears to drop as he fell upon his knees, crying his heart out. Standing in the doorway of his room and witnessing everything, a blue-eyed blonde boy bent to comfort the crying man, calling him ten times a fool.

/Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear/

Meanwhile, the busy streets of this beloved city became less crowded, as the hour grew late. Dee Laytner trudged along the sidewalks, bumping into numerous people without so much as an apology. After being rejected by the only man he loved, the raven haired man thought he would die from the grief that now filled his empty heart. Unable to suffer the pain anymore, the heart broken detective went to find the only person he knew who would love and return his love unconditionally.

/Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so.../

Finally, after hours of wandering the now empty streets of New York, Dee stumbled upon his childhood home and fell into the arms of his beloved "mother". Surprised at the unexpected visit, mother took her "son" into her arms, listening to his heart wrenching story. Hearing the anguish in Dee's voice, mother wrapped her tiny arms around Dee and held him in a tight hug. As if shielding him from all the pain, mother cried along with Dee, sharing his pain.

/We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone/

Sitting in his dim litted room with a cup of tea, Ryo sat on his bed and looked out the window, watching as the traffic went by. After Bikky helped him pull himself together, Ryo took a shower hoping it would help refresh his mind and body. Looking at the clock, he noticed it was already eleven pm. 'How time flies when you're thinking'thought Ryo as he remembered the event with Dee earlier. Letting his thoughts wander to his partner, Ryo became concerned for Dee.'Is Dee alright? was I too harsh?...maybe I should call him' he thought.

/But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
And the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear./

Picking up the phone, Ryo called Dee's cell phone but to his disappointment, it was turned off. He then decided to call Dee's home phone, hoping the raven hair man would be in. After the fourth ring, the machine picked up. To his heart's dismay, Ryo heard Dee's beloved voice, only to bring forth tears to his eyes once more.

/I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so.../

"Sorry! I'm busy right now trying to get into Ryo's pa--"
"Dee!"
"OW! Ryo, you didn't have to hit me that hard!"
"BAKA!"
"I was only JOKING! Anyway, leave a message!" *BEEP*

/Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know/

Alone in his dark apartment, Dee sat against the arm of the couch, counting the minutes as they rolled by. Upon hearing the message, tears caressed his cheeks as they descended down his cheeks. He stared at his watch only to find it was just turning eleven pm. 'Why won't the pain go away?' the sad man thought to himself. With a need to distract himself, Dee pulled a cigarette from the carton and put one to his mouth. After lighting it and inhaling the sweet nicotine that soon filled his lungs, Dee's thoughts drifted to his first memories of Ryo.

\Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed/

He remembered the time he first met Ryo and the conversation that followed:

"Hey, you got some Japanese in you or something?"
"Ur...Urmmm...yeah. Actually I do."

"Ryo, huh? So, would you take offense to me calling you Ryo from now on?"
"N...No...it wouldn't offend me...it's just..."
"Then Ryo it is. I'm gonna call you Ryo..."

Oh how these bittersweet memories were slowing killing him in the inside. As tears continued to flow, so did memories of their first kiss, the vacation in England, the time Ryo caught a fever, and the first time Ryo hinted he liked Dee...even a little.

After getting shot and a bomb going off in his direction, Dee sat quietly hoping someone would come to his aid. Upon hearing a noise, Dee called out only to be greeted by a vision that haunted him every day and night. Seeing the worried look mar his partner's beautiful face, Dee slapped on a grin only to see a frantic Ryo. Throwing his arms around Dee and locking him into a tight embrace, Ryo kissed Dee with all his heart.

"You said for me to just wait there so I...I don't ever want to feel this way again."

Hearing those words brought joy to his heart then, making him feel as if he was the luckiest man on earth. But now, as he recalled those exact words, they stabbed him in the heart, slowing killing him.

/Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so.../

Turning off all the lights, Ryo hugged his pillow to him and tried to sleep. After hearing the message on Dee's machine, the blonde man was too emotional to leave a message. He remembered Dee had just bought the machine because he was tired of everyone leaving crap on his cell phone. The man was so happy he wanted to record the perfect message. Ryo was in the middle of cooking when he heard Dee make that unspeakable remark. As Dee was about to finish his sentence about getting into his pants, the blonde man whacked Dee on the side of his head as a warning. The two then started bickering while the voicemail recorded. Dee thought it turned out perfect, like them. Unable to control his emotions, the blonde hair man broke down and started to cry once more, for he knew he made a mistake. How could he ever think he could become normal by driving Dee away, when all he wanted was to love Dee and be loved in return?

Back at the apartment, Dee sat still with a bottle of beer. Desperate to escape the pain, Dee decided to drown his sorrows with alcohol. With no hope left, Dee sat in his lonely apartment hiding in the shadows. As the city became dark, the only light visible from the moon illuminated silver tear drops that ceased to flow.

In front of Dee was the present he hoped Ryo would accept. It was a symbol of his undying love for the black-eyed detective. It was a simple gold ring with an engraving on the inside: Dee + Ryo Body + Soul...

/Though I
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so.../

As the city finally died down along with the traffic hours, midnight came and lured everyone into deep sleep. The only sound that broke the silence of the night was heavy breathing from too much heartache. There in the dark, the ring laid...untouched...
