Chapter 15
XXXXXXXX
Dee is in the shower, as Ryo makes up the bed. He's smiling, as he remembers how Dee made love to him. He pops the sheets on the bed and turns when he hears the doorbell. He looks towards his private bathroom door, where Dee is taking a shower and singing…rather loudly.
He walks out of the bedroom to the front, wondering who could be at the door. Bikky calls out to him, causing him to stop in the middle of the floor, not knowing where to go first.
“I'll be right there; Bikky I have to get the door.” He walks to the door, opens it and looks into the faces of the last two people he wants to see at this moment.
“Hello Randy, we came to see how your son is doing!” Julie is smiling at him as she and her sister Mona, walk past him as he stands with his mouth open.
He jerks around and watches the women come in and close the door. He tells them to have a seat and goes into Bikky's room. He looks at Bikky with wide eyes, causing the boy to look up at him in surprise. “What's wrong, Ryo? You look like you've seen a ghost. Did the perv do something again?”
Ryo looks at him with blank eyes, as he remembers Dee is in the shower and flies out of Bikky's room. He smiles at the women. “Make yourselves at home; I'll be right back.” He heads for his bedroom as Dee is coming out of the shower. He shuts the door behind him and leans against it, breathing heavily.
Dee looks at him leaning against the door and walks over to him. “Ryo, what is it? Are you okay, what happen?” He has a panicked look on his face, so Dee is about to pull the door open to see what has his lover so upset.
“No, don't open it, Dee.” He pushes the younger man back because he is wearing a towel, around his slim waist and nothing else. Ryo looks at the small rivulets, running down his broad chest, aching to reach out and touch him, to stroke the body that has given him so much pleasure.
He pulls his eyes away from Dee's chest and looks up. “Julie is here, and she brought Mona with her. They're in the living room, Dee. What are we going to do?”
Dee looks over at the door and chuckles. “So she made her move, huh? Don't worry; go back in the living room. I'll be out as soon as I put on some clothes. Hmm…this should prove, interesting.”
Ryo looks up at him, with distress on his face. “What do you mean, she's made her move? I don't think I know what's going on Dee, and I don't like it. I'm just relieved I took a shower first. Damn! I forgot Bikky is waiting on me. I have to go, hurry up, please. Could this night get any worse?” He throws his hands up, opens the door and goes back towards the living room.
As he comes out of the hall entrance, he sees Bikky, sitting between the two women. He nods his head and stands in front of Bikky. “Are you hungry, Bikky? Dinner is almost ready.” He looks at the boy with a half smile on his face.
“I'm sorry, Ryo. We didn't mean to interrupt your dinner plans. I just thought it would be easier to stop by, before we headed home.” Julie smiles up at him, as she rubs Bikky on the top of the head.
“Uh, Ryo, I am a little thirsty. Do we have any soda or some juice?” He looks at Ryo innocently, wondering how these women are involved with the two men.
“Sure Bikky, I'll get you some juice. I don't want the soda to interfere with your medicine. Can I get something for you too, ladies?” He is trying to keep his cool, since Dee is in the bedroom getting dressed. He has no explanation for him being here, except for the obvious one.
Mona looks around. “I thought Dee would be here with you, but I guess he's still at work.” She looks up at Ryo for an answer, since she has already called and they told her he did not come in today.
Bikky chuckles, as he looks at Ryo. Now he knows what's going on. She is here to see the perv, not him as they said before.
Ryo rolls his eyes at Bikky and heads for the kitchen to get a drink for him, totally ignoring Mona. When Dee comes out, he can deal with her. She is not his problem, so he'll let Dee handle it. Julie follows him and leans against the counter, watching as he heads for the fridge.
“Your son seems to be doing better. He thanked us for the flowers and teddy bear. I didn't know he was so…mature. Had I known, I would have gotten him something else. The stuffed toy is more for a child.”
Ryo smiles over at her. “You had no way of knowing. I'm sure he appreciates the gesture anyway.” He pulls a small carton of apple juice out of the fridge and turns to her. “I have some wine if you and your sister would like a glass.”
She gives him a coy smile. “I would like that but only if you are having a glass too. I know I should have called first. After I picked up Mona, since she insisted on coming, I forgot to let you know I was on my way.”
“Its' okay, why don't you and Mona stay for dinner, It's only beef stew, but I have enough for all of us. I know Dee eats a lot, but there's even enough for us and him.” He chuckles as he takes down the wine glasses and takes the wine from under the cabinet.
She looks at him in surprise. “Oh, you're expecting him?”
“No, he's here now. He was in the bathroom, when you arrived. He should be out shortly. He could already be in the living room now. Let me get a tray for everything and we can go back in.”

Dee walks into the living room, glances at Mona with a smirk on his handsome face and turns too Bikky, “How are you feeling, brat? Where's Ryo?” He ignores Mona as she looks up at him.
Bikky leans back and give Dee a sly smile. “He's in the kitchen with his girlfriend.” He looks over at Mona and jerks his head, “She was telling me that the two of you are engaged. Why didn't you mention it before? Are you going to invite me to the wedding?”
Dee looks at Mona for the first time. “What have you been telling the boy, Mona?” The smile he gives her doesn't quite reach his eyes. `You bitch, there is no way I'm marrying you!'
“Why the truth of course, you and I are going through with the wedding, as planned.” She smirks back at him, daring him to deny it. She knows how he is about responsibility and he will do the right thing. No one can turn their feelings on and off like this. The feelings he has for his partner, is something he will get over, soon enough. After all, they have been engaged for over six months.
Everyone turn upon hearing a loud crash in the hall to the living room. Dee hurries out and curses under his breath, as he sees the stun look, on his lover's face.
“Ryo are you okay?” He stoops down to help Ryo and Julie pick up the glass shards from the floor. Ryo looks at him over the woman's head, with hurt in his onyx eyes.
“How clumsy of me, don't worry about this Julie, Dee could you get me the broom, please?” He ducks his head down, so she cannot see the look on his face.
Dee gets up, glances at him and goes in the kitchen. Mona comes into the hall and looks down at the mess. “Why don't you let me give you a hand, Randy?” She picks up a few broken pieces and puts them on the tray.
“I, uh, I have to take this juice to Bikky.” Ryo gets up and takes the small carton of juice in the living room, leaving the others to clean up the mess.
Bikky looks up in Ryo's face, with concern, “What the hell happen in there? Are you okay Ryo?”
“The tray slipped out of my hand, which happens sometimes.” He looks towards the hall and back at his son. “You can eat in a few minutes if you're hungry and I think the ladies will be joining us, if you don't mind.”
Bikky looks at him with a frown in his blue eyes, “Would it make a difference, if I said it does? I don't like those witches and I know Dee doesn't like the one called, Mona. Just why are they here Ryo? I know it's not to see me, hell they don't even know me!”
“Bikky, your language, we have guests! It's complicated, I have to get something, and I'll be right back.”
He hurries to his bedroom and closes the door leaning on it breathing in shallow breaths. `What does she mean; they're going on with the wedding? He never said anything to me about them getting married. What the hell is going on with them?'

Dee sweeps up the broken glass, thank the women for their help and they all head into the living room. He looks around for Ryo and looks at Bikky. The boy is glaring at him, with malice in his eyes. Julie is about to take her seat and looks around, not seeing Ryo.
“Where is Randy, he didn't hurt himself did he? She looks at the others and Bikky pipes up, “He went to the bathroom, maybe to wash his hands. He says you are staying for dinner, is that right?”
He looks in Dee's face after that statement. Dee looks back at him and knows if Bikky looks at him with anger then Ryo must be upset.
“I'll go see if he is okay and then we will set the table. I'll be right back.” He is on his way to Ryo's bedroom when Julie stops him, “No, you stay here I'll check on him. A man doesn't know anything about first-aid.” She turns and heads down the hall, leaving Dee in the living room with her sister.
“I don't know what she's talking about, I am a cop.” He turns, grabs Mona by the elbow and heads for the kitchen. Bikky looks at him in surprise and then smiles at his move.

Julie knocks on the bedroom door and calls softly, “Randy, are you okay?”
Ryo takes a deep breath and counts to ten before he opens it. He smiles, stepping out pulling the door up behind him. He does not want her to see he has not finish making up the bed he and Dee shared earlier.
“I'm fine, Julie. Let's join the others and have that wine.” He sweeps his hand in front of him, for her to precede him.
“We thought you may have cut yourself, on some of the glass. If you like, I could get the glasses for you. You must be more upset about your son than you thought and with your accident, it is a lot to handle.”
“No, I'm fine, just a little clumsy I guess.” He smiles at her hoping she believes him and not know what really distressed him. There is no way he is going to be with Dee, if he marries Mona. This cannot be happening now, of all times. Not when they had just…”
“Ryo I'm hungry, can we eat now?” Bikky can hear the other couple arguing in the kitchen; at least he can hear Mona and not Dee. He is speaking to her in tones to low for him to hear. However, from what he could hear, he doesn't want to marry her, but she wants to marry him. Something about taking responsibility and living up to his end of things. Bikky chuckles, evidently the perv was in deep shit with Mona. `That bastard's a player! He has his girlfriend here, at Ryo's house, what a loser.'

Dee runs his fingers through his Damp hair, “Look Mona, didn't I tell you I would see you in a couple of days? What's with you staking me like this?” He is visibly upset with her, knowing Ryo must have heard her say they were getting married. That could be the only reason he would lose control, the way he did. He has to get the two of them out of here, as soon as possible.
“You have missed seeing me twice, because of your so-called partner! You gave me no other choice! You have a responsibility to me Dee. I didn't do this by myself, we have to discuss this and you have to live up to your end. I'm not going through this alone you know! I see you're playing house with that boy in there, but this is your child, as well as mine!”
Dee puts his hands over his face and groans, “I can't deal with this shit, right now! Give me a break, will you. Seeing you is just giving me a headache.” He walks over to the sink, turns the water on looks in the cabinet and pulls out a glass. As he fills it, she looks at him and smirks.
“I see you've made yourself at home here. You spend more time here, than you do at your own place. Have you moved in with him, yet?” She watches him, as he turns slowly with anger in his green eyes.
“What is your problem with Ryo, Mona? He hasn't done anything to you. Are you upset that I like spending time with someone, who is not trying to manipulate me; more then I do with you? Think about it, who wants to be with someone that doesn't like to be touch, or has an excuse for any and everything. Don't you get it, I don't love you!!”
He is holding the glass so tight it shatters in his hand. He looks down at his hand and hears someone clear their throat. He turns and sees Julie and Ryo, standing in the doorway. He looks at Ryo, staring at his hand.
Mona puts her hand over her mouth, at his outburst and hurries from the kitchen. Julie looks at Dee in anger, and goes after her sister.
Ryo walks over to Dee, and takes his hand placing it under the running water. He reaches for a paper towel; pulls his hand towards him, and pats it dry, trying to find glass in it. They both turn as they hear the front door slam and then look at each other.
“You think she got the message?” Dee smirks, as he looks down at his hand, unsure if he should look in Ryo's face, not wanting to see the hurt he saw previously.
Ryo dabs at his hand, “I think we all got the message, Dee. I have too get some tweezers, so I can get these small pieces of glass out.” He looks at Dee and pulls his head up with his free hand. “I'm sorry I had any doubt about you Dee, forgive me?” He leans in and giving him a slight peck on the lips.
“Always Angel.” Dee smiles by lifting a corner of his lips.
Ryo presses the paper in his hand and goes to the bathroom for the tweezers. As he rummages through the drawer, he can hear Bikky and Dee talking in the living room. He cocks his head to listen, but they are speaking very low.
He grabs the things he needs and goes into the living room. As he sits next to Dee and takes his hand, he pulls the small shards out, while Dee looks at the top of his head. Bikky looks at the both of them and makes a comment.
“Correct me if I'm wrong but why do you spend so much time together, when you have to women, after you. Are you still, going to marry Mona?” He looks at Dee with the question also in his eyes.
“Not if I have a say in it and I do. Forget about her, I'm starving, how about you?” He looks at Ryo with a soft smile on his face.
Ryo looks up after pulling out the last piece of glass. “I'll serve dinner in just a minute. You, Dee, need to wash your hands and I'll wrap it for you. How you were able, to break a glass in your hand is beyond me. She must have said the wrong thing to you.” He laughs as he looks at Bikky, “We must remember to never get on his bad side.”
Bikky looks over at Dee rolling his eyes, “Hump, as if he has, a good side. Can we eat now; the perv is okay as far as I'm concern? I don't see why you're making such a big deal, out of a couple of scratches.”
Dee sighs as he shakes his head at the boy and says nothing. He follows Ryo into the kitchen. As he stands at the sink washing his hands, Ryo takes down the plates for dinner. He looks over at Dee, as he goes about his duties and stays silent.
If Dee wants to talk about the conversation he had with Mona, then he will listen, but he is not going to ask.
Dee dries off his hands and turns to Ryo, “Need any help, Angel?” He smiles at Ryo, as he takes the plates out of his hands. “I'll set the table for you; you bring in the food, okay.”
“Are you sure, Dee? I don't want you to hurt yourself any more then you have too, I can do it.” He looks at his lover, with concern.
Dee holds his hand up, “Look it's not bleeding at all. They were just flesh wounds, I'll be fine.” He takes the plates to the table and calls out for Bikky. “Come and get it, monkey brat!”

They all sit down to dinner and discuss the fact they have one of the people in custody that shot Bikky.
“You have to come down to the station tomorrow, to make a statement. You are able to do that aren't you Bikky. You're not afraid are you?” Ryo looks at him with a small smile.
“Hell no! That bastard tried to kill me and I want him to pay. I hope he goes to jail for the rest of his life!”
“Bikky how many times do I have to tell you to tone down your language? You are old enough to know better!” Ryo glares at the boy to no avail.
“Don't even stress about him Ryo.” Dee takes another bite of his stew. “The kid is hopeless. Besides, I hope they give his ass a hot shot. When you go after kids, like that it makes you the scum of the earth. By the time we get there tomorrow they might have the other one in custody.”
Ryo rubs the top of Bikky's head, “I have to work tomorrow but I'll be with you until you make the ID and then I'll take you to stay with Cal, is that okay with you?”
“I guess so, but what if he knows where I live. I mean he may know the building…ah, forget it I can take care of myself.” He pushes his plate away and slinks down in his seat.
Dee put his fork down and clears his throat, “Bikky if you would rather not be here without Ryo, you can stay with my mother. I'm sure she wouldn't mind having you there. Besides, you will have a lot of other kids to keep you company.”
“You don't have to burden your mother with this Dee. I'm sure Bikky will be fine downstairs with Cal and her aunt. He should be use to going there by now, right Bikky?”
“I don't know, maybe meeting his mother isn't a bad idea, Ryo. He did say I can play with other kids.” He looks up at Dee. “As long as they're not little kids, that is, it should be okay.”
Ryo looks at him skeptically and then looks over at Dee. “This mother of yours, does she run some kind of daycare or something?” He picks up his fork putting his food in his mouth as he looks intensely at Dee. He is full of surprises and now knowing he has a mother with children is another surprise.
“My mother runs an orphanage on the other side of town, so I know Bikky will be safe, with her there.” He looks at the other with a sly grin on his face. “Ah, in case you're wondering, she's a nun.”
Ryo laughs, “I forgot about that. You did say a nun raised you. So Bikky it's up to you where you want to go.”
“Is the nun's name, Sister Maria?”
Dee looks at him with his brows winged. “Yes as a matter of fact it is. How do you know her? I hope you haven't been giving her a hard time, Bikky.”
“No I haven't, I know a kid from there, you may know him, his name is Thomas.” He looks at Dee and then at his foster father. He and Thomas have gotten into a lot of trouble together. If Ryo didn't find out about it, it would be fine with him.
Dee sits back, smiles at him, and then looks at Ryo with a wink. “Yeah I know Thomas. He is about your age isn't he? He's a real handful and every time I see him, he has just gotten out of one scrape or another. So, the two of you are friends. Why am I not, surprised?”
Ryo clears his throat, “Uh, Dee what kind of kid is this, Thomas?”
Dee jerks his thumb at Bikky and laughs, “The same as he is over there. Don't worry Ryo, I know the both of them are trouble makers but they are not bad kids. They just need some guidance and discipline and I think I'll give Bikky the same discipline, as I give Thomas. So don't worry about gimp boy here.” He reaches over and ruffles Bikky's hair.
“I think I want to go down to Cal's place.” He is giving Ryo an innocent look but Dee sees right through it. He didn't want to go to the orphanage because of the nun. He must have gotten into some trouble she knew about.
“Nope, I think we'll drop you off with my mother. She just may have some stories to tell us about you and your exploits. I have the feeling my mother knows you Bikky, am I right?”
Bikky puts his head down in his plate as his dark ears manage to turn red.
“Is that true Bikky? Does she know something I should know about? As long as it is before I met you, there is no problem with me being angry with you. I know how hard it was before I took you off the streets, so don't think I'll be upset, okay?” Ryo looks at him with concern on his face.
“You weren't disrespectful to her were you?” Now Dee is frowning at the boy.
“Huh, no way! She wouldn't let you get away with something like that anyway. It's just…she knows me well, that's all and I don't want you to be mad at me because I don't do those things anymore Ryo, I swear!”
Dee rubs his ear as he looks at the boy. “You got that right. She has a way of punishing you and there is nothing you can do but obey her, am I right Bikky?”
Bikky looks at him, while he is rubbing his ear, “She got you too? I know all about the ear pull and it really hurts.” He rubs his ear, remembering the last time she pulled his and Thomas's ear, for trying to set up the local grocer.
Ryo sips his wine, looks at the both of them, and laughs. “I think I would like to meet your mother Dee, she sounds like a wonderful woman.

That evening Ryo walks Dee to the door, since he is going home to sleep in his own bed for the night.
Dee pulls Ryo in his arms before he opens the door, “I could stay and keep you company if you want me too.” He leans down, kissing him on the side of the neck.
Ryo has both hands, pressed against his broad chest; he tilts his head back so he has better access. “As much as I would love that, we do have Bikky to consider. Besides if you don't leave, I won't miss you.”
“Who says I want you to miss me?” He puts his finger under Ryo's chin, tilting his face and looks in his eyes. Ryo looks the other way and then back at Dee as if on command. He smiles up into his handsome face and parts his lips.
Dee takes advantage, as he brings his head down and captures Ryo's bottom lip, suckling it gently, before sliding his tongue between them. Ryo slips his arms around his waist, holding him tightly. Their tongues are in a dual for supremacy and Dee wins, as Ryo moans into the kiss. The two come up gasping for air and the blonde pulls back with his head resting on his lover's chest. He can hear Dee's heart as it beats rapidly. He can tell the kiss has affected him just as much.
Ryo says in an inaudible voice, “I think you…I think you should leave now, or else I will not be able to let you go, Dee.”
“That's what I'm trying to tell you Ryo…let me stay with you, please. I'm not ready to leave, yet.” Can't you feel my desire for you? I need you Ryo, don't make me go.”
“Please Dee…don't do this now. I'm only trying to do the right thing. We'll be together tomorrow…don't be a big baby. Now go, so we can both, get some sleep.” He reaches behind Dee and unlocks the door.
Dee drops his arms and looks over his shoulder and back at his lover. “I guess you're right but it doesn't make it right.” He smiles down at Ryo, kisses him on the lips, and says goodnight.
