Ryo wakes up and stretches as he thinks about Dee picking him up. He rubs his forehead, feels the bandages, and winces.

 

Throwing the covers off, he goes in the bathroom to take a shower. Standing back from the warm water so he doesn't get his bandages wet, he tries to shampoo his hair. As he washes his body, he thinks about his partner. He rubs the sponge down his body, making small circles around his abs, wondering when Dee will be doing this for him.

 

He remembers the kiss Dee gave him and puts his fingers to his lips. He smiles as he turns the water off and steps out of the tub. As he dries off, his mind wanders. Dee is such a handsome man, he feels lucky that he wants him. When Dee told him that he might be in love with him, he was ecstatic. Ryo knew he was gay when he was in high school, if the truth was told. He tried to pretend that men did not turn him on, but when he met Dee, he knew he could not deny his feelings, any longer.

 

He goes back into his bedroom, pulls his clothes out and looks at the clock. It read seven, so he went to wake up his foster son. Bikky tries to pull the covers over his head, but Ryo is not having any of it.

 

“Get up Bikky and take a shower so you can go to school. If you get ready in time, we will drop you off.” He leaves as the boy gets up, complaining.

 

Ryo goes back into his bedroom, gets dressed, and heads for the kitchen to make breakfast. He looks up at the clock and calls Bikky into breakfast. He comes in sits at the table and looks up at Ryo. “You look better then you did last night, Ryo. Are you feeling better?”

 

“As a matter of fact I am, Bikky. Thank you for asking; that's very thoughtful of you. Now, if you hurry, we can drop you off at school and you won't have to take the bus.”

 

“It's okay Ryo; I can walk to school with Carol. It's not that far you know. Besides, I like walking, that way I can catch up with my friends.”

 

Ryo smiles at him and thinks about calling Dee to make sure he is awake. He finishes breakfast and takes his dishes to the sink and Bikky bring in his dishes. He gives the boy lunch money and as he head out, he washes the dishes and looks at the phone.

On the other side of town, Dee is about to wake up to a surprise.

 

Dee tightens his arms around Mona's waist and kisses her on the side of her neck. She turns in his arms and kisses him. He rubs his hand down her body and stops.

 

Something is wrong with this picture! His hands are on a very soft body and as he drags his hand upwards, he feels breast! “Shit!” He sits up in bed, looks down at Mona, “What are you doing here! I left you drunk on the sofa! How in the hell did you get in my bed?!” He crawls over her and gets up.

 

“Don't look so shocked Dee. You act as though this is our first time together. I came by last night to see you and I had a couple of drinks while I waited on you. I fell asleep on the sofa, so what is the problem? You cannot deny you still have feelings for me so what's holding you back…”

 

The phone cuts her off as it rings. Dee walks over and picks it up. He looks at the caller ID and sees that it is Ryo. “I have to take this, get dressed, now!” He walks into the living room and says hello.

 

“How are you man? I hope you got a good night's sleep.”

 

“Yeah, I did. I'm calling to make sure you're awake. Did you sleep okay, Dee?” Ryo is smiling into the phone, as his voice gets softer.

 

Dee looks around as his eyes stop at his bedroom door. He sighs and turns back around. “I guess so; I just woke up. Have you had breakfast yet? I could stop and pick something up for you.”

 

“I just finished breakfast and Bikky has left for school, so all I'm really doing is waiting for you. Would you like me to fix breakfast for you? It's the least I can do, after all the trouble I caused you last night.”

 

Dee chuckles into the phone, as his voice gets softer. “You're never any trouble for me. I'm glad you're feeling better and no, I don't want you going to any trouble for me. I'll just pick something up. Let me get dressed, and I'll pick you up in a half hour. Can you wait that long for your ride?”

 

Laughing, Ryo tells him that he'll be waiting in the front in thirty minutes and hangs up.

 

Dee smiles as he hangs up not realizing that Mona has been standing by the door, listening to every word. He walks into his bedroom and looks over at her. “I thought you were getting dressed. I have to leave for work, Mona.”

 

He looks at her with a frown on his handsome face as he tries to figure out why she is here, in his apartment and in his bed no less. She very rarely would spend the night with him and as soon as they made love, she would snuggle in his arms, fall asleep and get the hell out when she woke up.

 

Now, she makes a surprise visit, drinks his vodka, passes out and crawls into his bed without his knowledge. She has to be up to something, but what?

 

“Why are you here, Mona? We called the wedding off the other night, so why are you here now? Don't tell me you're having second thoughts.”

 

“Who were you talking to on the phone just now? It sounded as if you were talking to my…replacement, perhaps?”

 

He looks at her with a frown. “That was my partner, Ryo. You remember him don't you?” He walks over to his closet, pulls out some clothes and throws them on the bed next to her.

 

She smirks at him as she gets off the bed walking over to him. “I suppose he told you that he broke up with my sister last night. It was almost as if it was planned. You know, with you breaking up with me and him with her. Is something going on that I don't know about, Dee?”

 

He looks over at her and folds his arms across his broad chest. “Now what could possibly be going on with my partner? I had nothing to do with him breaking up with Julie, we were called in last night and he was shot. He doesn't have a car, so I decided to pick him up this morning. I want to make sure he gets to work without a hassle. Being concerned about my partner is a natural thing, wouldn't you say?”

 

“He was shot? How is he, is he okay?” She stops as she looks in his face with a frown.

 

“He was just grazed on his forehead so don't pretend you care what happens to him.”

 

He turns and heads for his bathroom and looks at her over his shoulder. “I want you to be gone when I come out…oh yeah; I'm changing my locks so you can keep your key. Good-bye, Mona.”

 

She stares at his back as he closes the door and drops her head. `Coming here was a mistake. He didn't sound as if he was concerned for a partner! That bastard; he sounded as if he were flirting with him! I will make you pay for this Dee; I promise I will make you pay.'

Dee pulls up in front of Ryo's building and he slides into the car as he smiles over at the raven-haired man. Dee gives him a smile in return. “I see you look much better then last night. A good night's sleep will do wonders for you. Since we have time, I thought we could stop by the diner and you could have coffee while I have breakfast.”

 

Ryo turns his head to him. “Do we really have time for you to sit down and have breakfast? We only have forty minutes you know. Maybe you should get it to go; I don't like being late and I know you like pissing the Chief off.”

 

“Ah, come on Ryo. You make it seem as if I'm a slacker or something.”

 

Ryo mumbles under his breath. “Or something, right.”

 

“Speak up, Ryo. You got something to say?”

 

Ryo giggles. “If you don't want to be called a slacker, then don't you think you should get to work on time? I've just started working at the precinct, and I want to make a good impression. You're not helping me any by making me late on purpose, Dee.”

 

“Okay, okay, I'll get it to go. Geez, you happy now?”

 

“As a matter of fact, I am. Thank you, Dee.”

“Hey, Ryo, Dee, the Chief wants to see the both of you in his office ASAP. How you doing Ryo, good to see you in one piece this morning.”

 

“Thanks Drake, I'm much better. Sorry if I caused you to worry.”

 

“Its okay man, we have all been through shit like that, but you did give us a scare, especially Dee. I thought he was going to have a heart attack when you passed out.”

 

“Yeah, yeah, didn't you say we have to see the Chief? Let's go, Ryo, the sooner we see what the badger wants, the sooner I can have breakfast.” He scowls as he looks back at Drake.

 

“Is all you can think about is your stomach? You have a one track mind, you know that?”

 

Dee leans close to Ryo and whispers, “I think about you all the time too. I think about you when I'm sleeping, love.”

 

“That would mean you're dreaming about me, Dee?”

 

“I guess you can say that. I'm waiting for the day, I can kiss you again. Then when I go to sleep, it will be to the feel of your lips on mine.”

 

Ryo blushes and drops his head as they come up to the Chief's door. Dee knocks lightly and when he hears the Chief, he walks in with Ryo following close behind.

 

“You wanted to see us Chief; I hope this doesn't take too long. I have my breakfast waiting.” He strolls in and takes a seat, facing Chief Smith's desk.”

 

“Good morning, Sir.” Ryo nods his head as he tries not to laugh at Dee. He is the most arrogant man he has ever met, and the surprising thing about it is, the people at work let him get away with it, even the Chief.

 

“How are you feeling Randy, are you sure you are up to working today?” He glares at Dee. “You need to write up your statements for what went down last night, and you can pick up your weapon from forensic later on today. We know it was a clean shoot, but we need accurate details.”

 

“Ah Chief, I'm hungry right now! Can't it wait for an hour or so?”

 

“Get your lazy ass, to your desk, and write up that report. Do the statements or, I'll make sure you eat breakfast anytime you want! You good for nothing, shit head!”

 

Dee gets up out of his seat, as Ryo looks on in surprise. Dee sticks his finger in his ear and looks at the Chief. “So reports now and breakfast later huh? Okay, okay, don't have a cow. I'm on it. Let's go Ryo, we have work to do.”

 

Ryo hurries to the door pulling it open, trying to escape the Chief's office and bumps into Rose. He falls back as Rose catches him around the waist to steady him. “Whoa there, Randy, you okay?”

 

Ryo looks up in his face and blushes. “I'm sorry, Sir, I wasn't looking where I was going.” Rose smiles down at Ryo as he holds onto his arms. Ryo looks down at his hands and back up in his face. “You can let go, Sir. I'm fine.”

 

Rose puts his hand out, touching the bandage on Ryo's head. “I heard you were injured. Are you feeling better? Should you have come in today?” He looks over at the Chief. “Couldn't he have stayed home, at least one day to heal, Chief Smith?”

 

Dee is furious at Rose! He's holding on to Ryo as if he can't stand on his own. He wants to punch him in his smug mouth!

 

“I already went over that with him, Commissioner and he says he's fine. We didn't force him to come in today. If he wants to go home, it's fine with me. His partner can do all the reports on his own.”

 

“Good, I'm sure that Det. Laytner can take over for his partner for one day.” He looks down at Ryo, “Why don't I take you back to your place so you can get some rest. You have to take care of yourself if you want to do this job correctly, Randy.”

 

Ryo looks over at Dee with a look of panic in his dark eyes.

 

“Ryo felt that he was able to come in today, so why don't you find some paper work to do Commissioner and we'll be off.” He walks over, grabs Ryo's arm, pulls him from the Commissioner and heads out the door.

 

As he is walking down the hall, he is cursing under his breath about the Commissioner's underhanded tactics.

 

“Dee, Dee, you're holding my arm too tightly!”

 

He stops and looks over at Ryo. “I'm sorry man but the Commish makes me crazy when he gets around you. All I see is red whenever he comes near you.”

 

Ryo looks around quickly and then back at Dee. “Calm down, Dee, you shouldn't allow him to upset you like that. Let's go back to the office and I'll start on the reports so you can eat. It's probably cold now, so you might have go to the break room and heat everything up, okay?”

 

“Yeah, you're right.” He leads the way into the office and grabs his food. “I hate to leave this on you but as soon as I eat, I'll be right back.”

 

Ryo looks up at him. “You go and eat. When you come back, you can do your statement, and I'll do the report and then my statement. Just don't take too long.” He turns on his computer and starts on his report as Dee leaves out for the break room.

 

Ryo is doing the report when the phone rings. It rings a couple of times, before he reaches over and places it between his shoulder blade and his chin.

 

“Hello, 27th Det. MacLean.”

 

“Hello, this is Mona, is Dee available? Is this his partner?”

 

“Ah…yes, it is. Dee is not here right now; he's in the break room. Do you want him to call you back?”

 

She hesitates for a moment. “Yes, do that, please. I forgot to tell him something when we woke up this morning. I left so fast; it completely slipped my mind. Dee has a way of making you forget everything but him sometimes.” She laughs as she says this, hoping Ryo gets her meaning. “I'll let you get back to work and I'll wait on him to call. Bye Randy.”

 

He hangs up the phone with a shaky hand as he looks at it. `She spent the night at Dee's last night! Why didn't he mention it to me? Was he lying about breaking off the engagement? He has to be lying! How stupid of me to believe him. What am I doing?'

 

Ryo is staring at his computer with a blank look on his face when Dee comes back.

 

“Now I feel able to get those statements typed up. Did you finish yours, Ryo?” He looks over at his partner and sees he is just staring at his computer; he touches his shoulder, giving it a little squeeze.

 

“Hey, Ryo, are you okay? What's wrong, man?”

 

He turns slowly and looks at Dee with hurt in his dark eyes. He gets up from his seat and leaves out of the office, not saying a word. Dee stands there in shock. “Ryo! Where are you going?”

 

Ryo keeps walking with Dee wondering what is going on. He looks around the office and goes over to his computer, looking down at what Ryo was working on while he was gone. All he sees is an unfinished report. `What the hell is wrong with him? He was fine when I left. Could the wound have affected his brain?'

 

Knowing he will return, Dee takes a seat and starts on his statement. He is halfway through, when Ryo returns. He looks up and is about to say something when he notices Rose standing behind him. He gets out of his seat. “What the hell is going on? Are you okay, Ryo?” He looks at the blonde-haired man with worry on his face.

 

“I'm going home, Dee and the Commissioner is kind enough to drop me off. I guess I wasn't as fine as I thought.” He goes to the coat rack, pulls his jacket down and slips it over his arms. He does not look in Dee's face because he knows he may lose it if he does.

 

“The hell he will! I'll take you home if you want to leave!”

 

Rose looks at him with a smug look on his face. “You have work to finish Detective, or have you forgotten about your report and statements? Your partner started it, so you can finish it. You don't have to be concerned about him getting home safely, I'll see to that.”

 

Dee stands there with his hands in fists at his side, glaring at the Commissioner. “Ryo, why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well?”

 

Ryo looks at him at last, “I'm sorry, Dee. I've caused you enough trouble already and I didn't want to bother you with this. Oh, by the way, your fiancée called. She wants you to call her back.” He turns and looks at the Commissioner and tells him he is ready. They both walk out as Dee look at their backs with his mouth opening and closing like a fish.

 

`So that's what it is! That's what has him in a mood!' He slaps his forehead and groans. He knows she has told Ryo she spent the night with him.

 

`That has to be what has him so upset, but still, he should know that I would never have sex with her, shouldn't he? Wait, why would he know that? After all, we were engaged for a while and it would make sense that if a woman spends the night, why wouldn't you have sex? That is what men do when presented with the opportunity. Ryo doesn't know what I will do. That is asking a bit much when I didn't tell him she was there when I came home last night. This is so fucked up! I have to fix this before Rose takes him away from me!'
