Dee goes to the doorway and watches as the Commissioner escorts Ryo out. He has his hand on Ryo's shoulder as they get on the elevator together. He turns as the doors close and goes back into his office.

 

Looking at the phone, he decides to call Mona. “You called me, Mona?”

 

“Yes darling, how are you? I hope you're in a better mood than this morning. We need to talk Dee; when will you be free?”

 

“I don't want to talk to you right now. By the way, why do you feel it necessary to relate my personal business to my partner? What are you up to, Mona?”

 

“Why shouldn't he know I spent the night with you? That is what you're talking about, right?” She chuckles lightly, “You need to meet me, Dee. I have some good news for you.”

 

“Ah, Mona, you do know we are no longer engaged don't you? Whatever you have to tell me spit it out and quit playing games. I have a pile of work I have to do and I have to do it alone thanks to you.”

 

“I don't want to tell you this over the phone, Dee. I'd rather tell you in person, so when you get off, meet me at Rick's. I'll be there at 7, okay?”

 

“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” He hangs the phone up and sits at the computer, finishing the work that Ryo has started.

The Commissioner opens the door for Ryo as he gets in the car silently. He has not said anything since leaving the precinct. However, Rose has kept up a constant flow, trying to fill in for the lack of conversation with the man of his dreams.

 

“I'm sorry Commissioner, did you say something?” He looks over, trying to smile.

 

“It isn't important right now. The main thing is that we get you home, so you can rest. Sometimes we feel fine for a while and then we get overwhelmed about everything that has happened to us. I'm sure once you get home and have a cup of tea or something; you'll feel more like yourself.”

 

“I suppose you're right.” He leans his head back, closing his eyes. “Right now, I just want to lie down and sleep forever.”

 

Rose glances over at him. “I didn't think you should have come in today and I see I was correct. We should be at your place shortly. Take a nap if you can, I'll turn on some music for you.” He reaches over, turns on the radio and listens as it starts playing jazz.

 

He hums along with the music as Ryo falls asleep to the sound of his voice and the soft music. He glances over at Ryo with a smile on his face. Ryo's lips are slightly parted as he naps, making a very soft, inaudible noise. He looks back at the street, `this man is too beautiful for words. I'm going to make him mine if it's the last thing I do.'

“Ryo, wake up Ryo, we're here.” He looks at the sleeping man while shaking him gently. He looks so cute curled up with his hand by his bottom lip that Rose cannot help but smile.

 

Ryo opens his eyes slowly before he rubs them like a small child. Rose gets out of the car, walks around to the passenger's side and opens the door. “Do you have your keys, give them to me.”

 

Ryo looks up at him unfocusedly, reaches in his pocket and hands the Commissioner his keys. Rose puts his arm around Ryo as he guides him to the elevator and asks which floor. He tells him and leans back against the wall, wondering why he is feeling so tired. He puts his hand up to his head, feels the bandages and winces. Maybe if he took a couple of aspirin he will feel better.

 

He has his eyes closed and his hand on his head. “I'm sorry for being so much trouble. I don't understand why I feel this way. I hope I haven't kept you away from anything important, Sir.”

 

“It's no trouble at all Ryo, and I did tell you to call me by me first name, right? We don't have to stand on formality when we are alone. I told you, I always try to help the people under me. If I make sure you take care of yourself, then you do a better job.” He smiles in concern at Ryo. “I hate to see you feeling this way. I wish I could do more. I'm sure your partner will call when he gets a chance.”

 

They get off the elevator and walk down the corridor as the Commissioner holds on to Ryo gently. He puts the key in the lock opening the door and leads him over to the sofa. He takes his coat off and looks down at Ryo as he removes his coat. He hangs them both up and comes back. “I'm going to get you some aspirin. Where do you keep it, bathroom or kitchen?”

 

“It's in the bathroom, Sir…uh, I mean, Berkeley. It's on the top shelf.” He leans back as he thinks about what Mona told him this morning. He can't believe that Dee didn't tell him that he spent the night with her. `Oh Dee, why did you have to lie to me, why can't you just be honest and tell me that you still love Mona and leave me alone! You want to have your cake and eat it to!'

 

“Here you go Ryo.” He hands him the medicine and a glass of water. “Thanks, I hope this does the trick. I don't understand, I was fine this morning. Now I feel like shit. Forgive my language, ah, Berkeley.”

 

“You act as if I have never heard that word before. Come, Ryo, we are both men after all. Why don't you go and lie down? I will order you something to eat, and then I'll be on my way. How does that sound?”

 

Ryo gets up from the sofa and says that he will go and lay down for a while. “You don't have to go to so much trouble for me. I'll be fine on my own, I promise.” He looks at the Commissioner over his shoulder. “You should go back, because right now, I'm not hungry. I just want to sleep. I'll be in tomorrow, good-bye Sir.” He walks to his room, closing the door.

 

`Perhaps I should leave and let him rest. He is feeling under the weather right now and tomorrow is another day.' He looks around the apartment as he goes and retrieves his coat. He walks over to Ryo's door and knocks lightly. “I'm leaving now, Ryo. Your keys are on the table and I'll let myself out. Take care and if you need me, I have left my cell number under your keys.” Ryo calls good-bye through the door and Rose leaves out.

 

Ryo looks at the door, listening for the sound of the front door closing. He hears it and comes out of his room. He locks the door and goes into the kitchen where he puts the pot on for tea.

 

He sighs as he thinks about the missed opportunity with Dee. The man sets his heart on fire. He wants Dee so badly; he wraps his arms around his waist wishing that it were Dee.

 

The whistling of the kettle brings him back to the present and he pulls a cup down and puts in a tea bag. Pouring the water over the bag, he is not paying attention and spills some on his hand. “Shit! Damn you, Dee, you keep me distracted even when you're not here.”

 

He runs cold water over his hand and the phone rings. He turns around, grabs the phone off the wall and says hello, wondering who could be calling him at home.

 

“Hi Randy, I was told that you were probably at home. How are you feeling?”

 

Ryo is surprised that Julie is calling him. “I'm fine; it's just a little headache. Nothing that a couple of aspirins won't fix. How are you, Julie?”

 

“Oh don't worry about me, I'm fine. I guess since you didn't return my call, I'm surprised you're even talking to me now. I thought that maybe we could talk and come to some kind of resolution about the two of us. I really hate not seeing you again. Is there anything I can do for you, Randy? I can come over and make you some soup or something.”

 

Ryo chuckles, “Thank you, Julie, but I'm making tea, and then I plan on lying down for a bit. I appreciate your offer, but I have not changed my mind. There is nothing more for us to say to each other. I hope we can still be friends, if that is okay with you.”

 

“Yeah, its fine Randy, I think I understand. However, I do want to ask you something. I hope you don't get offended.”

 

“You can ask me anything you want; I just hope I can answer you.”

 

“I've known Dee for three years now, and he has said he is bi-sexual and…I was wondering if…the reason you two broke up with us is because...he is pressuring you to be with him?”

 

Ryo eyes go wide, as he pulls the phone away from his ear and looks at it as if he can look in her face by looking at the phone. “Excuse me, don't you think that's a little personal. For the record, he had nothing too do with my breaking it off with you.” He asks in a small voice, “So he did break up with your sister?”

 

“Well, yeah, didn't he tell you? I don't understand, you didn't know?”

 

“He did say that, but I thought, with her spending the night with him last night…maybe they got back together and maybe she hasn't had a chance to tell you yet.”

 

“If you know Dee, you would know that he doesn't make these decisions on the spur of the moment. Believe me, they broke up and if they slept together last night, it must be break-up sex.” She laughs into the phone.

 

“I haven't talked to my sister, but if she and Dee have gotten back together, I would have been the first to know. He told you that they were together again?”

 

“Well no, he didn't. She called the precinct and told me herself that she forgot to tell him something this morning. She made it seem as though they were together last night. Dee was here late, because a bullet grazed me while we were trying to arrest a man. He brought me home after I got out of the hospital.”

 

“You were shot! Oh my god why didn't you tell me! I'm coming over right now. I'll see you in fifteen minutes!” She hangs up the phone before he can say anything else, so he hangs up. `Damn, just as I get rid of the Commissioner, I get her over here. Could this day get any worse?'

Dee is typing up a fury as he watches the elevator, waiting for the Commissioner to get back from dropping Ryo off. He keeps glancing at the doors and back at his computer when Drake blocks his view.

 

“We're sending out for lunch Dee, do you want anything?” He looks at Dee with a note pad in his hand.

 

Dee looks up and sighs. “Yeah, I didn't know it was that late already. The Commissioner should have been back by now! That bastard!”

 

“Whoa, what got into you? What has the Commish done now?”

 

Dee looks up at him. “You didn't see him take Ryo out of here? He is supposed to drop him off, but it seems as though he decided to stay for a while. If he lays a hand on Ryo, I'm going to punch him out.”

 

“Dee, what's going on, man? I know the guy is cool and all, but don't you think you're taking things a little too far? What about your fiancée? Don't you think she will have something to say about your interest in your partner?”

 

Dee looks at him and shakes his head. “I'm going to make him mine, Drake, if I'm lucky. And by the way, I'm no longer engaged; I'm a free man again.”

 

“When did all this happen? You had better be glad that JJ doesn't know. He'll be all over you.”

 

“Shit, he's all over me now, so what difference does that make?” He pulls his cigarettes out and puts one in his mouth. “Oh yeah about that lunch, put me down for a burger, no cheese and no onions.”

 

Drake writes it down and tells him he is sorry about his break-up and heads out. Dee looks over at the phone and wonders if he should call Ryo. He knows that he is upset after Mona told him that she spent the night with him, but he has to convince him that they didn't actually sleep together. He knows he has his work cut out for him.

Dee is eating lunch when the phone rings. He leans back and picks it up. “Hello, Det. Laytner speaking.”

 

“Hi Dee, this is Ryo.”

 

Dee puts his sandwich down and wipes his mouth. “Hey Ryo, how are you feeling? You need anything?”

 

“No, Dee, I was wondering if you could come by when you leave the office. I need to talk to you, I mean, we need to talk.”

 

“Sure buddy, I can be there as soon as I get off. Do you want me to stop and get you something to eat? I know you're not feeling well and all. It's not a problem, you know.”

 

“Thanks, but I think I can manage dinner. However, if I'm not feeling better after I take a nap, I'll let you know, okay?”

 

“That's fine, but you go and get some sleep. I know that you spoke with Mona and I know what she said, but I will tell you what happened, okay? Ryo, I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier.”

 

“I kind of understand why you didn't mention it, but we'll discuss it tonight, okay?”

 

“Okay, I'll see you later Ryo.” He hangs the phone up as he beams. Dee didn't know how to feel; he is so happy. `I guess your little trick didn't work after all, did it, Mona? He still wants to see me.'

 

Dee tackles his work as he hums a song under his breath.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Ryo steps out of the shower that evening. Bikky is at practice so he knows that he and Dee will have time to talk. He finds a pair of jeans and a loose white shirt to wear. He combs his hair back off his face and then brings it down over his forehead, hiding his bandages.

 

He turns his body from side to side, satisfied with the way he looks, he goes into the kitchen. Pulling out the wine, he takes it and two glasses into the living room, putting it down on his glass table.

 

Calling Dee to pick up some Japanese food makes it easier to relax while waiting on him. Now he is glad that Julie stopped by when she did. She helped clear up some things about her sister that he didn't know.

 

His subtle questioning of her was thanks to his interrogation skills. He found out that she likes to manipulate Dee, if what Julie told him is true. Poor Dee, it looks as though he came along at the right time.

 

Walking over to the stereo, he puts some CDs in and takes the remote back to the sofa. He sits down, puts his head on the back of the sofa, and closes his eyes. As he listens to the sounds of the old jazz singers, he hears a soft knock at the door.

 

He gets up, walks to the door, turns to check the room, and opens the door. Dee is standing there with take-out bags in his hands. He smiles at Ryo and passes the bags to him.

 

“I hope you didn't buy out the restaurant, Dee. Do you think we will be able to eat all of this?” He looks up and smiles at Dee, causing him to catch his breath.

 

He puts his hand out and cups Ryo's chin. “You look beautiful, Ryo. I'm glad you called me.” He bends down and captures his lips in a sizzling kiss, catching Ryo off guard. He feels Dee's tongue pushing against his lips as he parts them slowly. Dee, receiving permission, slides in and strokes the inside of his mouth gently.

 

They stand there with Ryo holding the bags and Dee ravishing his mouth. They break apart for air as Ryo swoons slightly. Dee puts his hands out and holds him by the arms. “Ah…I guess I should put this on the table.” As he turns to go in the living room, Dee puts his arm around his waist.

 

He puts the bags on the table as Dee takes off his jacket and throws it on the chair. “Let me take the food out and you pour the wine, okay?” Ryo nods because he does not trust his voice right now.

 

The kiss that Dee gave him was more passionate than the first one. He cannot believe that he is so affected by a single kiss, and from a man, no less! It's just that it's Dee who is doing the kissing. Mona is right, it's hard to say no to Dee, and he is no exception.

 

They open the cartons and break apart the chopsticks. Ryo hands the glass to Dee as he sips his own. He looks at him over the rim, marveling at the long dark lashes as they sweep across his eyes. He looks up and sees Ryo looking at him and smiles as Ryo blushes.

 

“Why do you blush when I catch you watching me? I hope you don't feel uncomfortable around me. You don't, do you, Ryo?”

 

“Of course not, Dee, I just…I don't know what to do when you look at me. I get these feelings sometimes, when I know you are near. When you look at me like you do, I can't help it. Does it bother you?”

 

Dee takes a sip of his wine and looks at him with passion-filled eyes. “No Ryo, it doesn't bother me one bit. I think it's flattering when you do that. I love the fact that one look from me can make you blush. It means you know how I feel about you, how much I desire and want you.”

 

Ryo leans back, covering his mouth with his hand. He looks down at the table. “I don't know what to say. I know I do like you Dee and that I do want to be with you, but I've never been with someone like you before, and with you sleeping with Mona, I don't know if I can trust you with my heart.” He looks up at Dee as he continues. “I know that when you break up with someone, sometimes you have break up sex, at least that's what Julie told me, I don't know if I can accept that, Dee.”

 

Dee sets his glass down and pushes Ryo down on the floor, which is not hard, since they are sitting on the floor anyway. He looks down in Ryo's eyes. His gaze is so intense that Ryo turns his head.

 

“Look at me, Ryo, never look away from me. I want you to look in my eyes when I tell you this.” Ryo turns his head back and looks up at Dee, trying to look in his eyes without flinching.

 

“I told you before that I love you, Ryo. When I told you that, I meant it. Having said that, you should know, I would never sleep with Mona, under any circumstance. She has a key to my place, I failed to get it back from her, and she used it. When I came home, she was passed out on my sofa. I tried waking her, but she wouldn't get up, so I left her on the sofa, and when I woke up, she had crawled in bed with me. I know I should have told you before now, but I didn't know how. I made a mistake and I promise, I'll never make that mistake again. From now on, you will be the first to know anything that happens with me.”

 

“Will you let my arms go, Dee?”

 

“Are you going to push me away again?” He takes his hands off Ryo.

 

Ryo wraps his arm around Dee's back and his hand in the back of his head, bringing him down and kisses him. Dee is so surprised, he opens his mouth and Ryo slides his tongue inside. He probes inside Dee's mouth as he moans in the back of his throat. Dee pulls his lips away, kissing him on the side of the neck as he whispers how much he loves him. “I've waited a long time for this. I love you so much, Ryo. I never want to let you go.”

 

He slides his hands under Ryo's shirt, strokes his back as he trails his tongue down the side of his neck. Ryo is making little whimpering sounds as he tangles his hands in Dee's hair. “I don't want you to let me go, Dee. Make love to me Dee…make love to me now.”

 

Dee slides his hands down the front of Ryo's pants as his erection strains against the zipper, and when he pulls it free, it springs out into his hand. Ryo is not wearing underwear and this surprises Dee. He chuckles against his neck. “I see you were waiting on me, my love.”

 

He kisses down Ryo's broad chest and takes one of his nipples in his mouth, tugging on it lightly with his teeth. Ryo moans as his fingers tighten in Dee's hair. Dee is stroking Ryo gently, as he plays with his hardening bud. “Have you ever done this before Ryo…been with a man, I mean?”

 

“Don't ask me that now, Dee. What does it matter, I'm here with you. I want you, isn't that enough?” He pulls back from Dee, looking in his face with a frown in his dark eyes.

 

“When you put it like th…”

 

“Ryo! Ryo! Open up, I'm home!” Banging on the door at the wrong moment is Ryo's foster son, Bikky.
