Chapter 20

Ryo is driving the car with him and the Commissioner on the way to One Police Plaza. So far, the Commissioner has shown nothing but respect for the detective. He decides to relax and not let his feelings get the best of him. The commissioner is his boss after all and he should give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

Berkeley looks over at Ryo with a smile on his face. He didn't need Ryo to come with him but he wanted the younger detective by his side anyway. The desire he has for him is overwhelming and if he doesn't quench his thirst, he may do something he knows is inappropriate. He sighs, as he leans back closing his eyes.

 

Ryo glances over at him and asks, “Are you tired, Sir?”

 

“No Ryo, I'm just thinking about something, I'm sure you wouldn't be interested. Tell me, how do you like working with us at the 27th precinct?” As he leans back in his seat, he looks over at Ryo with a smirk on his handsome face.

 

Ryo chuckles at the change of topic but he plays along, “I think I'm getting the hang of it, sir. Oh yeah, I want to thank you again for allowing me to witness, the interrogation of Jim Morris. I think the two detectives did an excellent job getting him to confess. Bikky will be happy to know he doesn't have to look over his shoulder when he goes out. I must admit, I'm relieved also.”

 

“You being his foster father now, I thought you should be in on all aspects of the process, but as a close observer.” He sits up in his seat, rolls the window down, and turns to Ryo. “Do you mind if I smoke?”

 

Ryo lets his window down and smirks, “Go right ahead sir. Dee smokes all the time but he never asks permission, so I'm use to it. He chuckles as he gets a picture in his head of his overbearing partner. He shakes his head with a smile on his face.

 

Berkeley watches him as he smiles, “Are you thinking about your partner, Ryo?”

 

“As a matter of fact, I am. You ask for my permission to smoke and I can never see him doing that. Even when he stops by my apartment I have to have an ashtray ready for him.” Ryo laughs as he remembers when he told Dee that first time he didn't have one. Dee brought one over when he came the second time and it's been there ever since.

 

“I see…you and Det. Laytner are pretty close.” He looks over at the honey blonde-haired man with a sly look on his face. He knows Ryo will duck for cover if he comes on to strong, so he decides to take it slow with him. After all, Dee will be married shortly and Ryo will be left alone, ripe for the plucking.

 

Ryo looks over at him and turns back too the street, “I guess you can say that. We are partners after all.” He takes a quick glance at Rose and turns back. `Damn, now why did he bring up Dee's name!'

 

Rose looks at Ryo with a slight frown on his face, “That's not what I mean, Ryo. Your relationship with your partner is your own business but I don't think you should get to attached to him. He is getting married soon. I would hate to think he is toying with your emotions. He does have a reputation of being a playboy, but the two of you don't have a relationship like that I suppose, hum?”

 

Ryo blushes down to his hands on the wheel, which is not lost on the Commissioner. “You didn't let the dark detective steal your heart did you?” He smiles at Ryo as he blows smoke towards the window.

 

“I…I don't know what you mean by that statement, Commissioner. We are just partners. I hope I didn't give you the impression that Dee and I are more than we seem.” Ryo stares straight head.

 

“Det. Laytner seems very protective of you Ryo. I wonder if he knows there is nothing between the two of you, hum. Either way, with his wedding coming up, I suppose he will not have that much time to spend with you as he is now. Have you met his soon to be bride?”

 

Ryo glances over at him and smiles as he nods. “Yes, I have had the pleasure. We all met when we doubled dated. At the time I was seeing her twin sister.”

 

Rose pounces, “Her twin sister? Uh…you said…was, so you are no longer seeing her?”

 

“Yes, I'm not seeing anyone. I'm too busy with work and trying to raise my son right now.” He is hoping things don't get to personal since he has no interest in the Commissioner.

 

“You still need a personal life, Ryo. Why don't I take you and your son out to dinner? He seems like a fine young man and I would love to get to know him. I have a fondness for children, you know.” He hopes the lie flows smoothly off his tongue. Children have always been a nuisance to him. However, to get next to Ryo he will fudge the truth.

 

Ryo laughs, “I'm afraid Bikky is not your average child, sir. He's a street kid and he pretty much speaks his mind. Don't get me wrong, I'm not making excuses for him but he can be pretty blunt about things. I would hate for you to be offended by some of the things he says.”

 

“Nonsense, I am an officer of the law and I don't think he can say anything I haven't heard before. I'll make reservations for us this weekend, say Friday evening. I will not take no for an answer Ryo. It should be fun to get away from the office and get to know you and your foster son better. Oh here we are, pull into the lot, I have a pass.”

Later that evening at Ryo's apartment…

 

“What the hell is wrong with you, Ryo?! Why did you make a date with that rat bastard! I told you before, he's only trying to get to you! You can be so dense sometimes.” Dee pushes back from the dinner table and goes into the living room.

 

Ryo lets out a sigh as he watches the younger man storm from the table. Bikky looks at Dee's back and over at Ryo, “What crawled up his ass? Is there a problem with us having dinner with the commish?” He smirks as he looks over his shoulder at Dee.

 

Ryo smiles at him and tells him to finish his dinner as he gets up and follows Dee in the living room. He walks over to the younger man as he stands by the window. “You should feel okay with it since Bikky will be with me, I don't see the problem. He knows you are engaged and as far as he and everyone else is concerned you are spoken for, am I right?”

 

Dee turns around with his hands in his pockets. He looks in Ryo's midnight eyes and drops his own. This is all his fault. He is the one that has gotten himself in the situation he's in now. That damn Mona! When they go to the doctor tomorrow, hopefully all of this will be over and he can tell the world how he feels about Ryo.

 

He takes his hands out of his pockets and slides them down Ryo's arms. “I'm sorry babe and as usual you're…”

 

Ryo glares at him and Dee looks at him in surprise. “What?”

 

“I told you before do not call me babe! I thought we had an understanding, Dee Laytner.” He looks at the dark haired detective as if he could strangle him.

 

Dee puts his hand up defensively, “Right…sorry about that man. I meant Ryo, okay?”

 

Bikky comes in the living room laughing, “You always put your big foot in that stupid mouth, don't you. I hope we do go out with the commish. I kind of like him. He is the boss, right? What's wrong with going out with the boss? That means we get to go and eat all the food we want. I'm all for it, Ryo. Please don't let the rump raider change your mind. He's too cheap to take us out.” Bikky gives Dee a sly look.

 

“Bikky, watch your mouth! Even if Dee does not mind, I do. Go finish your homework.” He glares at the young boy.

 

“Carol helped me with it, so I'm finish.” He sits on the sofa and raises his leg easing it, as he watches the two men.

 

Dee and Ryo turn and stare at him. Bikky grabs the remote and turns on the television. He puts a pillow behind his head ready to settle in for a night of TV.

 

Ryo looks at Dee and back at Bikky, “Do you have your clothes for school tomorrow?” The boy says without turning his head, “No school until noon, teacher conference.

 

Dee bristles, “Since you want to take over the living room and we can't talk, we'll go in the bedroom so don't come in for at least two hours, got that brat!”

 

Bikky gets up and looks at Dee with daggers in his blue eyes, “Don't you touch Ryo, you bastard! You can talk to him in here; I'm going to my room!” He gets off the sofa and limps to his bedroom, slamming the door.

 

Dee runs his fingers through his hair and sighs. He turns to Ryo, “Sit down Ryo, we need to talk.” Ryo sits down besides him and leans back with his eyes closed. “I don't want to have this conversation with you Dee. I'm going to dinner with him and Bikky is coming so what harm can it do? I'll have dinner with him and maybe he won't ask again. I'm too tired to argue with you about it, okay?”

 

Dee leans over, strokes the side his face, and kisses him on the lips. “You're right I should let it go but I know he will try something anyway, Bikky or no Bikky. However, I do trust you Ryo and I hate for you to go but I know he won't get anywhere with you.”

 

Ryo smiles up at him, “You know I will never do anything to make you unhappy Dee. I'm sorry about this but when the boss invites me to dinner there is no polite way to refuse, especially when he includes Bikky.

 

“That bastard did that on purpose so you couldn't refuse. He is a sly one. I wish I was going with you.” He leans back and flops on the sofa.

 

Ryo gets up and heads for the kitchen and the dishes waiting on him. Dee looks at him and follows.

Dee is watching the clock at work counting down the time until the appointment to see the doctor. He looks over at Ryo and scowls at him. The commissioner has called Ryo on the phone three times already, setting up his, so-called date. He had Ryo smiling on a couple of the call and he resents it.

 

“Did Rose decide where he is taking you and Bikky for dinner? Probably some place expensive, no doubt. I hope Bikky cusses all the way through dinner and orders lobster or some other expensive shit.”

 

Ryo has his head down, chuckling under his breath. Dee glares at him saying, “I don't see what you think is so damn funny, Ryo. This shit's not funny, dude. Watch and see, before the night is over he will have tried to make a pass at you!”

 

“He's going to want to come in for a night cap and then he's going to be too tired to go home and want to spend the night and while you are sleep alone in your bed he's going to want to come in and have his way with you and AHHHHHHHHHH! No unh, unh…no way in hell! Call him now and tell him you cannot go!”

 

He stands and grabs the phone receiver waving it in Ryo's face. “Here call him now! Tell him you cannot go because Bikky is sick and you have to take him to the hospital! Call him dude, call!”

 

Ryo throws his head back, laughing at Dee and his antics, “You need to get a grip, Dee. You are letting your imagination get the best of you. There is no way I'm inviting him into my apartment. I don't trust him that much, but you, you need to calm down or you're going to burst a blood vessel.” He takes the phone from Dee's hand and hangs it back up.

 

Dee looks daggers at him and looks up at the clock. “I hate I have too leave in an hour. I'll be happy when I can get my life back and not have to go through this shit.” He looks over at Ryo smiling, “You promise not to cheat on me while you have dinner with that…”

 

Rose pokes his head in the door, “Hello detectives, Ryo I need to see you for a moment, please.” He looks over at Dee with a smirk in his eyes. The phone rings before Dee can formulate an answer. Ryo reaches for it and Rose tells him. “Let your partner get it. I'm sure he hasn't done anything all day.” He grabs Ryo's arm leading him out of the office.

 

Dee picks up the ringing phone and barks into it. “27th precinct, Det. Laytner!” He is watching Ryo, with the Commissioner outside of his office. He's wondering what he has to say to Ryo that he would come out of his office all the way here.

 

“Hello, Dee is everything aright? It's Mona.”

 

“Oh, hello, Mona, what's up?” He keeps his eyes on Berkeley and Ryo, trying to tell from their body language, what the private conversation is all about.

 

He watches as the Commissioner puts his hand on Ryo's shoulder and laughs. Ryo laughs with him, as if his hand on him is the most natural thing in the world. Dee is seeing red now and not paying attention to what Mona is telling him. “W…what did you say? We're busy right now and I didn't catch that last part.” It sounded as if she said they are changing the time.

 

She sighs and tells him, “I said we need to be there a half hour before my appointment and I was wondering if you can get off early.”

 

“Yeah, yeah, whatever, I'll see you at four instead.” He hangs the phone up without saying good-bye and walks over standing in the doorway.

 

Rose looks up, sees him in the doorway, cuts his laughter off, and tells Ryo he is looking forward to their dinner together. He smiles at Dee and heads back to his office.

 

Ryo turns around, walks past Dee, and goes in taking his seat. Dee turns looking at him, “What the hell did the two of you find so amusing? I'm telling you Ryo the man is a cad!” He slams the door and sits heavily in his seat. He picks up a pencil and tosses it at Ryo's head, since he is ignoring him.

 

“He just told me the restaurant is rather formal and he wonders if Bikky has a suit, since I just got him. I told him Bikky would be comfortable with a shirt and tie. He doesn't need a suit.”

 

“What the hell was he laughing at then?”

 

Ryo chuckles, I told him the shirt will be easy but more than likely he will have on sneakers and he thought it was funny. Don't you think it's funny to see Bikky dressed up and wearing sneakers?” He puts his chin on the back of his hand and his elbow on his desk.

 

“No, since it's true. I can't see Bikky in wing tips for anyone. Besides, his leg is still bothering him and he needs to be comfortable. That's reason along to refuse his invitation. You could have used Bikky as an excuse not to go.”

 

“Did it ever occur to you that I might want to go to dinner with my boss?” Ryo looks down at his desk pretending to read over a report. Dee looks over at him, “No it never did…do you want to go with him, Ryo?”

 

The blonde haired man looks over at him as he hears a catch in his voice. He smiles at him, “I'm just kidding Dee, of course I don't want to go but what can I do but make the best of it. I'll go out with him this once and maybe he won't ask again. I'll tell you what; I'll order the most expensive thing on the menu. How does that sound?”

 

“It would make me feel better if I thought he couldn't afford it but he can. Just make a dent on his credit card for…oh shit! I forgot Mona wants me there early. That was her on the phone just now.”

 

He gets up and walks behind Ryo to get his coat. He slips it over his broad back as he looks down at his partner, “If I close the door would you give me a good luck kiss? I really need it dude. I feel as if I am walking to my doom.” He looks at his lover with, puppy dog eyes.

 

“Okay, but no deep kissing because you never know when someone might decide to come in.” He gets out of his seat, walks over to the door, closes it, and leans back on it looking at Dee with onyx eyes, full of desire.

 

Dee walks over, puts one hand on the glass door behind his head and leans down. He tilts Ryo's chin up with his other hand and traces the outline of his lover's lips, with his moist tongue. Ryo puts his hand on his tie, bringing him down and parts his lips. Dee slides his tongue between them and kisses him so passionately, he sends shivers down the blonde man's spine.

 

Ryo moans into the kiss and presses into Dee as he puts his arm around his waist. He grinds against Ryo and the friction from his erection makes him almost lose control. “God, I love you. I never want to lose you. Please…stay with me forever.”

 

Dee moves back and looks in Ryo's dark eyes, “That's why I'm going now, so I can finally get this over with. You're the only one I want to spend my life with, Ryo.” He slides his finger over Ryo's lips, gives him a quick kiss, and pulls him off the door. “I'll see you tonight at your place.”

 

Ryo watches as he leaves out and presses his fingers against his lips. One thing he can say about Dee Laytner, he can definitely take your breath away, with a single kiss.

Dee arrives at the doctor's office and looks around for Mona. She is sitting in a corner alone, reading a magazine. There is one other woman in the waiting room and she looks about ready to go in labor. Dee walks over to Mona and takes a seat next to her. “What's up?”

 

She looks over at him as she puts the book down. “For a moment, I thought you wouldn't make it in time. The nurse says she needs to take some blood and I want you to be here when that happens. I know I'm pregnant but I want you to know it too. We can be happy together if you just give us a chance, Dee. I'm not giving up on you.”

 

Dee sighs as he looks at her and turns away. “We no longer have anything in common Mona. What we had is gone and you should just move on. Blackmailing me into marriage is low, even for you. If it weren't for the fact you're having this kid, I wouldn't be here so don't make it seem as though we're really a couple.”

 

She sits up in her seat and glares at him, she says in a low voice, “What is you problem, Dee? I don't understand you anymore. How could you fall out of love with me so quickly, unless you didn't love me in the first place. Since Randy started working with you, you've changed; you didn't use to be this way.”

 

“Maybe he helped me see the light. Maybe he showed me that there is more to life than accepting what is in front of you. I've been unhappy with you for a while now and when I ask if you were happy, you never did answer me. You immediately brought up the sex. Like you said, you will not screw me every night and you know that's what I like. How long do you think this marriage will last if there is no sex?” He chuckles under his breath, “I am a man baby and I like having sex and lots of it!” He raises his voice at the end causing the woman on the other side to look at the both of them.

 

Mona glares at him and looks away. She puts the book in front of her face and says nothing, which is fine with Dee. He sinks deeper in his seat wishing he could smoke a cigarette. He looks around the office at the pictures of the three trimesters of pregnancy and groans. This is last place he wants to be.

 

A nurse comes out and calls Mona's name and they get up and follow her to one of the rooms. Dee takes a seat by the door as Mona sits on the table. The nurse takes a couple of tubes of blood and tells her the doctor will be with her shortly.

 

Dee stops her as she is about to leave, “How long will the test take, Miss?”

 

She gives him a smile, “It shouldn't take that long. We have new technology that enables us to have the test done in less than thirty minutes. So when the doctor comes in, he should have your results.” She turns and takes the tubes with her.

 

Mona smiles as she thinks how surprised Dee is going to be with the results. Her friend is the one doing the test so she has no worries about the outcome. `Well Dee you wanted a real test so you are going to get it. You'll marry me and your little fling with your partner will be over.'
