The Engagement 3

 

 

Will Dee get the chance to tell Ryo he is engaged or has the Commissioner already told him?

 

Yey! I have a Beta! Thank you Ukelicious, with that name you must be the bomb! Now my mistakes should be a thing of the past. Oh and thanks for the thoughts that pop!

Dee takes a deep breath, strolls over to his desk, and stands behind Comm. Rose glaring at him. When he hears Ryo chuckle, he gets angrier.

 

“Let me in on the joke, I'd like to laugh, too.” He looks at Ryo as he blushes on seeing him.

 

Rose turns around and looks at Dee. “It was nothing, Detective, just a little something I thought he would find amusing. I have to get back now, but remember, Randy, my door is always open to my detectives.”

 

He turns and walks back to his office with a smirk on his face.

 

Ryo looks up at Dee and says, “I take it you and Berkeley don't get along that well?”

 

“Not really, the man is an arrogant jerk. He's good at his job, but he likes to lord it over us every once in a while. Enough about him, I have something to tell you Ryo.”

 

“Oh and what is that Dee?” Ryo is looking up at his partner with a smile on his lovely face, waiting for Dee to speak. Right now, he is looking everywhere but at his partner.

 

Dee turns to Ryo and says, “I wanted to tell you that I'm…”

 

DEE, RYO, WE HAVE A HOMICIDE THEY NEED YOU ON POINT NOW!

 

Dee turns. “We're on it, Chief! Come on Ryo, your first crime scene. This should be fun.” He says sarcastically.

Later on that night as Bikky and Ryo are having dinner he looks at Ryo and says, “I'm surprised the perv isn't here. I thought the two of you were joined at the hip.” He looks at Ryo as he eats his food.

 

“Well, Bikky, although we are partners, we do have separate lives. He's probably with his girlfriend, having dinner like we are. Besides, I'll see him on Monday at work. Ah…you don't like Dee, do you?”

 

Bikky looks down at his plate. “He's okay, I guess, but I think he's still a pervert the way he looks at you and watches your every move. I think the guy really likes you, Ryo, don't you?”

 

Ryo smiles at the boy and says, “Of course he likes me, Bikky. I like him too; we are partners after all. Now finish up so you can go to bed. I spoke with my neighbor down stairs, and she told me you could stay with her tomorrow. She has her young niece staying with her, so I'm sure the two of you will get along with each other.”

 

“Me, get along with a girl! I don't think so; I hate girls!” Bikky sits back and crosses his arms across his chest pouting.

 

Ryo smiles at the boy. “Spoken like a true nine year old. Let's wait and bring this up again in say, about ten years.” He reaches over and ruffles the boy's blonde locks.

On the other side of town, Dee is alone in his apartment, drinking a beer. He is thinking about the fact he still hasn't told Ryo about being engaged to Mona. He almost told him, but then they had to go out on a case. He hated keeping this from Ryo but it couldn't be helped.

 

Wait, what is he saying? He didn't have to feel bad about not telling Ryo about Mona. Ryo probably has a girl, too, and he didn't say anything to him about it. Come to think of it, they only talked about cases and Bikky and he is part of one of their cases.

 

He looks down at his watch and sees it's almost ten. “I wonder if he's still up. Maybe if I leave now, I could catch him before he goes to bed.” Dee smiles and picks up his keys and heads out the door, on his way to Ryo's place. He couldn't believe how much he missed not being with him after being with him nonstop for 24 hours. Man, he did miss his partner.

 

He opens the car door and slides behind the wheel, feeling giddy at the prospect of seeing him again. `I hope that the brat is asleep and I can get Ryo alone.'

Ryo is in the kitchen washing dishes after playing a game with Bikky. He smiles as he thinks of what Bikky said about Dee liking him. He knows there is some kind of chemistry between the two of them. He likes Dee, but as a partner, right? Dee said he was bi-sexual, but why did he tell him that? He didn't seem to be embarrassed about it either. Actually, he seemed rather proud.

 

This gives Ryo pause in his thoughts about Dee. Could he be telling him that he was attracted to him? Ryo has been trying to hide these feelings inside of him since high school. He's had a couple of girlfriends but nothing serious. He just always seems to attract pretty women wherever he goes, but his heart is never in it.

 

Tomorrow he has a date with a woman he's been seeing for a couple of weeks now. He knew she wanted to take it to the next level, but he wasn't ready for that. She is pretty enough and nice but…he just didn't know how to put it into words.

 

Oh, well maybe one day he will meet someone to make his heart race on seeing them. There has to be someone out there that is his soul mate. All he had to do is find them.

 

Ryo hears a soft knock on the door. He looks up at the wall clock and sees that it is almost 10:30. Who could it be this late? He walks over to the door; opening it a crack and seeing Dee on the other side, he pulls it open.

 

“What are you doing here, Dee? Is everything alright?” He steps back as Dee comes into the room. “Come in; it's pretty late, you know.”

 

“I know man and I'm sorry to disturbed you this late. I have something I need to tell you. I tried at work but we were interrupted. You have anything to drink; my mouth has gone dry.”

 

Ryo leads him into the kitchen and says, “What would you like, something hot or cold?” He looks up at Dee while standing in front of the refrigerator.

 

“Do you have beer? I could use one right about now.”

 

“Sure Dee, I'll have one with you. I plan on going to bed after you leave anyway.” He hands Dee a beer, takes one for him, and leads him into the living room.

 

“Have a seat and tell me what's on your mind.” He turns and faces Dee with a grin on his face because he looks so serious. “It couldn't be that bad, could it?”

 

Dee takes a long swallow of his beer and wipes his mouth. He looks over at Ryo and says, “I don't know if I told you but…I think I like you, Ryo.”

 

Ryo looks at him with his eyes gone wide and says, “I like you too, Dee. So what is the problem? You came all the way here to tell me that.” Ryo chuckles as he looks at Dee.

 

Dee sets his beer down, grabs Ryo by the shoulders, pulls him close to him, and presses his lips against his object of desire. Ryo's mouth opens in shock so Dee slides his tongue inside.

 

He slides his arms around Ryo's back as he pushes him down on the sofa. Ryo tries to put his hands up, but he is pinned down under the force of the kiss and Dee's body.

 

Dee raises his head and says, “I don't want you to take my feelings for a joke, Ryo.” He slides his tongue up the side of Ryo's neck as he kisses the same spot.

 

“Dee! Stop, what are you doing! Bikky might come in here and see us!” He manages to push Dee off him as he sits up, looking at him in surprise. His heart is racing with the force of the kiss. He runs his fingers through his hair as he tries to compose himself.

 

“Ah…man, I'm sorry; I don't know why I did that. This is not the reason I came over at all!” He stands and walks to the window, looking down at the people hurrying to their destinations. He fishes in his pocket and pulls out a cigarette. He turns to Ryo, who is still sitting on the sofa with his hand over his mouth.

 

Dee scowls and searches his pocket for his lighter and looks around behind him. “Ryo, do you have a light?” He gives him a sheepish grin because he just attacked the man and now he needs something from him.

 

“Of course.” He gets up, takes the lighter to Dee, and flicks it on. He is looking in Dee's face when he notices how long his eyelashes are. `Why didn't I see how long and beautiful they were before now?'

 

Dee raises his eyes and looks him in the face as he says, “You see something you like, Ryo?” He gives him a slow easy smile, causing his eyes to narrow slightly.

 

“Don't play with me Dee. I feel strange somehow, I've never been kissed by a man before.”

 

Dee looks at him and asks, “Did you hate it?”

 

“I'm not saying that. It was just…different somehow. I think you should go now. I have plans for tomorrow, and I need to sort all this out.”

 

Dee strokes the blonde-haired man's arm. “Ryo, I really do care for you, and I want you to think about that kiss and about me. Why I did that, I can't say but I've been wanting to do it since I met you. If you don't feel anything for me, I will back off. It'll be hard but I will do it, if it makes you happy.” He leans in and presses his lips to Ryo's forehead and turns to walk out the door.

 

Ryo is standing in his living room with his hand around his waist and the other at his lips. “Why do I feel like this? He's a guy, for Christ's sake! We could never be together, even if I wanted to. Wait, do I want to be with Dee? I have to admit that no one has ever kissed me like that before. It was so…so passionate.”

 

Ryo takes a deep breath, cleans up the beer cans that they were drinking from and takes them to the kitchen. As he leans against the counter, thinking about his partner, Bikky walks in, rubbing his eyes.

 

“Ryo, Ryo! The light in the bathroom isn't working and I have to pee.”

 

Ryo jumps as he hears the boy call his name. “I'm sorry, Bikky. I'll put in a new bulb. Come with me.” At least this will get his mind off Dee for a while. Taking care of Bikky is his top priority, so he'll have to put the raven haired detective out of his mind for now.

Dee is at work, missing Ryo because he has the day off. He has been sighing so much that Drake has been teasing him about his new partner.

 

“I swear Dee, if you sigh one more time, I'm going in and tell the Chief to give you a love sick day off.” He laughs at Dee as he scowls at him.

 

“It's not like that, man. I just miss the guy; you wouldn't understand. He has a way of working that makes the day go by faster, but I guess I'll have to wait until Monday to see him since I have tomorrow off and he doesn't.”

 

“Cheer up, man. You still have JJ if you need some excitement around here.” Dee glares at him and says, “Please don't put that freak on me! I'm going to the roof and have a smoke; cover for me will you?”

 

Drake pats him on the back and says he will, and Dee goes for a cigarette. He is on his way back to his desk when Dee's phone rings. Drake turns around, rushes over, and picks it up.

 

“27th, Det. Parker speaking.”

 

“Oh, hi Drake, I was calling for Dee, is he there?”

 

“Yeah but he's on the roof smoking, why don't you try his cell?”

 

“No, it wasn't important, how's everything going around there? Are you guys busy?”

 

Drake chuckles. “Not really, but I can say that Dee misses you. He seems down in the dumps; you two didn't have a fight did you? You have a way of soothing him when he gets this way.”

 

“Come on Drake, you must be kidding, but is he okay?” Ryo asks with concern in his voice. “Maybe I should call him on his cell; are you sure he has it with him?”

 

Drake looks around his desk. “Never mind, it's right here, but I'll tell him to call you back if you want me too.”

 

“No, that's okay; I'm heading out anyway. I wanted to ask him something but it can wait. Just tell him I called and I'll call him later, okay?”

 

Drake tells him okay and they both hang up. He goes back to his desk, shaking his head, because it looks like Ryo was missing Dee also.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Dee is on the roof enjoying his third cigarette of the day. He looks down at the street, wondering what made him kiss Ryo the way he did. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Now he's wondering if he did the right thing.

 

He hopes that Ryo is not upset with him, but he did say he would think about him and his feelings. Ryo didn't act as offended as he would have expected of someone that didn't want to be kissed by a man.

 

He had even stared in his eyes with something, almost like, fondness. Could that have been it? Either way, he knew he wanted Ryo in his life, and he would do anything to make it happen.

 

God, but the man was beautiful, with those midnight eyes and porcelain skin. He could get lost in those eyes and not care if he were ever found again.

 

He flicks his cigarette over the rooftop and heads back down to the squad room.

 

He walks over to his desk and Drake tells him Ryo called. He turns. “Why didn't you come and get me, dude! What did he say; does he want me to call him back?”

 

“Damn, man, calm down. He said it wasn't important, and that he would call you later. Don't call him at home, because he said he was heading out. He said he had something to ask you, but he didn't tell me and I didn't ask.”

 

He looks at Dee with a sly smile and says, “He sound as if he was missing you, but then I don't know.”

 

Dee looks over at him and smiles for the first time that day. His phone rings again and he hurries and picks it up. “Ryo!” He caught it on the first ring.

 

“No, it isn't. This is Mona; is that you, Dee? Who is Ryo?”

 

“Oh, hey babe; how is it going?”

 

“I'm fine. Who is Ryo?”

 

“He's my new partner. I was expecting a call from him because he's off today. What's going on Mona?”

 

“I'm just calling to let you know that we are meeting up at 7:30. We're going out to dinner, but I have to be in church the next day so we won't be out that long, okay?” She is hoping that he doesn't object because they haven't slept together in almost two weeks now. If she had her way, they would wait for the honeymoon in five months, but she knew she couldn't get away with that.

 

“That's fine with me; I've had a long week and I need to get some shut eye anyway.” He's thinking that maybe he can go and see Ryo after his date, and he will tell him then about Mona. He has made up his mind that he is breaking off the engagement with her, because he knows that they will never make it the way he is feeling about Ryo and it wasn't fair to her either.

 

“Well, I'll let you go so you can finish up there, and see you tonight. Oh and Dee, please be on your best behavior tonight. By that, I mean don't tell any of your grisly crime stories to my sister's new boyfriend. She said he is the sensitive type and very conservative. Can you believe it? He's so old fashion that they haven't slept together yet.”

 

Dee chuckles and says, “Maybe he wants to make sure she's right for him. You wouldn't want your sister to make a mistake, would you?”

 

“I guess you're right. Anyway, I'll be driving, so I'll meet you at the restaurant, don't forget 7:30, okay?”

 

Dee hangs up the phone and sighs again. Her sister was always finding someone new to be with because she always ended up with losers.

Dee heads into the restaurant, looks for Mona, spots her, and walks towards the table. He bends down, giving her a kiss, and turns to her sister to say hello to her and her date and his mouth drops open in surprise.

 

There sits his partner Ryo, looking at him with the same expression on his face.
