Chapter Nineteen
Kissing You


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you,
My soul cried. Heaving heart is full of pain,
Oh, oh, the aching.


'Cos I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing, oh.


Touch me deep, pure and true
Gift to me forever.
'Cos I'm kissing you, oh
I'm kissing you.


Ryo walked into the office, the one he once shared with his partner and the man he loved. Going to his desk he checked for messages as he sat down. It was then that he remembered that he had forgotten to grab some of those energy bars that Lyn had told him about and that he had bought last night. "I'll go buy some later." He told himself, sighing and still stinging from yet another brush off from Dee last night. Sure he understood but that didn't lessen the hurt any. Hearing a knock, he looked up to see JJ standing there. Frowning to himself and really not in the mood to deal with the younger man's Dee obsession he sighed in frustration. "What can I do for you JJ?"

"Well don't go thinking that I like you or anything. Or that I'm conceding Dee to you but... Berkley... When you were passed out yesterday..." JJ paused, looking away and wringing his hands a bit. "He kissed you and sort of felt you up and that's just not right. I just thought that you should know." JJ gave Ryo a glare just to prove his resolve to win Dee's heart hadn't softened any and then turned on his heel, marching away.

Ryo sat there stunned. "How could he?" His lips formed the words while his stomach twisted in knots. Looking at the photo of Dee that adorned his desk, Ryo stood, determined to stop his unwanted advances once and for all. Walking out into the main part of the squad room, Ryo saw Rose standing there and talking to Drake.

"Sir I wish to speak with you in private please." Dark eyes were set, anger blazing fiercely within them.

Rose raised an eyebrow as if to say that he was unimpressed by the shorter man. "I'm a bit busy at the moment Ryo. What can I do for you?"

"I really don't think that you want to discuss this out in the open SIR." Ryo's teeth clenched tightly, hating the way Rose was making him feel.

Leaning back against the wall, he raised his coffee cup to his lips taking a leisurely sip. "I'm talking to Drake at the moment Ryo. Just spit it out so that I can continue."

"Fine if that's the way you want to do things!" Ryo spat at him, glaring harshly, hands at his sides as his fists tightened into balls. "What the hell did you do to me when I passed out yesterday?" His eyes remained locked on Rose's. He stood there tall and proud, determined not to be seen by Rose or anyone else for that matter, as weak willed.

"I loosened your tie and collar, checked to be sure that you were breathing, checked your pulse and then just left you there. Whatever you're thinking Ryo it's way off base. Unlike Dee, some of us CAN control ourselves."

"If that's so then why the hell was I told that you... That you... DAMMIT! That you kissed me!" Ryo stood toe to toe with Rose, feeling the weight of the stares now on them both as a silent hush fell over the room. "Not only that but you touched me as well and not just to feel for a pulse either!"

"I was feeling for a heart beat." Rose didn't even try to justify the kiss. He simply shrugged it off.

"You bastard! You had no right kissing me without my consent and certainly not while I'm unconscious! That's harassment and you damn well know it!"

Rose's eyes glinted. "And what exactly are you going to do about it McLean? Are you going to have your submissive housewife lawyer friend sue me?" He smirked. "Besides didn't Dee start off with kissing you without your permission? You seemed to enjoy it then!"

"You son of a bitch!" Ryo had had all that he could take lately. He was like a pressure cooker and Rose had just overloaded him. Rearing back, Ryo's fist came up and connected with the blonde's jaw, sending him backwards and across JJ's desk, scattering files books and anything else sitting there, onto the floor. "Talk like that about my friends again and you'll be talking with a mouthful of broken teeth!" Ryo glared at Rose, his disdain for the man evident in his eyes.

Rose remained sprawled over JJ's desk a long moment, his hand coming up to feel the wounded jaw as he glanced around the squad room. All action had stopped and the whole office stared at the two men. "I'm writing you up MacLean! Coming off your last suspension might be your last." Rose growled as he stood glaring and then stormed past Ryo practically knocking him over before disappearing into his office with the resounding slam of a door. Ryo could only stand there shocked. How on earth could he be in trouble when it was Rose who had made the infringement? Feeling the other's staring at him, Ryo lowered his head, his knuckles throbbing in protest.

"Hey Ryo are you okay?" Drake asked as he walked by. Ryo said nothing as he headed back to his office. He needed time to think. God if Dee found out... 'He may be happy that I punched Rose but... Damn this is such a mess.' His hands were shaking as he sat down to tend to the bruised fist, dabbing at the blood forming on two of his knuckles. Looking up he saw JJ standing there, just about to knock on the framework.

"Not now JJ. I have enough on my plate as it is." Ryo lowered his head feeling it begin to throb with the onset of a headache. All of a sudden he felt so damn tired. More tired then he could ever remember.

"I was just going to tell you to tell Dee that Marlo's pre-trial hearing has been set." JJ shrugged and walked off, leaving Ryo to tend to his bruises.

"Wha... Damn JJ!" Ryo quickly got up and realized what a mistake that was. Holding onto the desk for support, he waited until the newest bout of dizziness faded before going out to find the junior detective. "JJ what are the details on the trail hearing? I can't tell Dee much of anything without a date!" Ryo stood there still feeling lightheaded but refusing to let it show.

"June 28th. In two weeks." JJ said with out looking up. "How is Dee doing? I've been worried about him." JJ's voice was full of sincere concern. Despite his tendencies to latch on like a leech. In his own odd way, his feelings for Dee were genuine.

"He has his good days and bad days. He is getting to be more independent though. Andrew has really been working him hard." Ryo smiled a little. "I'll let him know that you asked about him. I won't see him tonight but tomorrow night I plan to stop by for a visit." Ryo wasn't sure if JJ was aware that Dee wasn't living with him but he wasn't going to pretend that he was either.

JJ's brows raised, his eyes immediately taking on a certain sparkle. "He's not living with you? He's with another man?" If that were true then JJ really did have a chance. If Dee's passions were so fickle it was only a matter of time before...

"Don't even think of it JJ. Andrew is very married to Lyn and Dee..." Ryo turned to him, dark eyes locking on JJ's. "Dee is MINE! Find your own." With that Ryo walked back into his office to try and sort through the mound of paperwork in his 'in' box. It wasn't until the phone rang that Ryo took the time to notice the clock and was shocked to see that it was all ready 5:00pm. Picking the phone up, he pinched the bridge of his nose to stave off the second round of headaches that were hitting. "Hello Criminal Investigation, Detective MacLean speaking."

"Hi! I've lost my insanely attractive Japanese American lover. He's almost six feet tall, kind of skinny with dark bedroom eyes. Do you think that you can help me find him?" Dee's voice caressed Ryo's ear over the line. A good humor in his voice that hadn't been there in a long time.

"Oh I think that I can manage that. Is he the one who gets weak kneed and breathless from kissing a hot ebony-haired man who just so happens to look damn sexy in a tight pair of jeans?" Ryo chuckled softly, happy to hear Dee's voice. It just seemed to brighten his day and his mood. Hearing from Dee was just what he needed at the moment. The perfect remedy to ease the tension coiling his muscles into knots.

"If you're referring to the one with the real fine ass and with legs that go for a mile then that's him." Dee chuckled. "How are you baby? You sound tired."

"I-I am. I got through half of my paperwork and there's still more to do." Ryo felt his stomach growling and realized that he hadn't eaten since stopping by to see Dee earlier. "I think I'll just leave it for tomorrow though and just call it a day. How are you doing? Beat Drew in chess yet?"

"Hell no! I swear that that guy must have been one of those dorks who played speed chess in high school. I cheat and he still wins. He played the last round with out both of his rooks!" Ryo swallowed. He had been one such dork. In fact he had placed third in the Regionals. "Was that your stomach I just heard? You'd better eat. Rose might not pass up a second opportunity."

"I-I will baby. I just got so busy that I forgot." Ryo's voice quivered a little. "Do you really think people who play chess are dorks? I'm pretty good at it myself. Even went to the regionals in High School." Ryo admitted. "If you laugh at me Dee Latener I'll make sure to send Penguin by to set you straight. Or I may just tell JJ how badly you want him!" He laughed, wanting to avoid the whole Berkley issue.

Dee chuckled "She's been trying to set me 'straight' most of my life and it hasn't worked yet and JJ doesn't scare me, I've got my bodyguard Franz here." Dee laughed harder. Oh and Ryo baby? You are kind of a dork but you're a damn sexy dork so I'll get over it." Dee didn't sense the misdirection. "I had better let you go eat."

Ryo shut his eyes tightly. He missed him and didn't want him to go. Not yet anyway. "Y-Yeah I guess so. I assume that you are busy tonight so I-I'll... I'll let you go." Ryo found that it was getting harder to speak. He wanted so much to be in Dee's arms. The whole Berkley thing had shaken him badly. "Ai shiteru Dee. Call me if and when you want company. Okay?" He made every effort to keep his voice upbeat but he knew that Dee would catch something in it.

"I love you too baby and I was just gonna say to call me when you get home. After you have a chance to relax of course. Maybe we can talk for a while then." Dee trailed off. He could hear Ryo's distress over something but he wasn't sure what. He would wait until Ryo called back and until he got home and had dinner and some tea. Maybe it was just hunger and stress that he was hearing in his voice.

"Okay. I'd like that. Bye now." Ryo listened as the line went dead, his heart aching. Never had he realized just what love could do to him or how deeply it could run through him, yet here he was madly in love and hurting because that love wasn't with him. Putting his stuff away, he grabbed his things and started out the door.

He found himself freezing in place when he saw Rose standing a few feet away and watching him. Rose waited for just a moment making sure that Ryo saw him before giving him a hard to read look and sauntering off. Was it intimidation? Ryo shook it off, pressing a hand to his stomach as it protested loudly for food. He was done for the day and not really interested in dealing with rose tonight. Shaking his head in annoyance he strode out of the precinct towards home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Dee sat still, listening to Lyn and Drew talk about their day as they readied the girls for bed. Sometimes he felt like a third wheel just getting in their way. He couldn't stop thinking about how Ryo sounded on the phone earlier and was surprised that he still hadn't called. Sitting up straight, he worried that maybe Ryo could have passed out again. If that were the case, would Bikky be home to help him? Sighing heavily and loud enough to be heard, Dee slumped back into the overstuffed chair, his cane resting on the floor and to the side.

"Something on your mind Dee?" Lyn inquired as he sat on the floor trying to wrestle Keiry into her sleeper. Dee had to admire Lyn's patience with the spunky toddler. She had already dumped a bowl of spaghetti on his head. Ate three handfuls of dog food and wet through a diaper while Lyn was holding her. Then she soaked him to the skin during her bath and was currently fighting like mad to avoid the light sleeper he was trying to put on her. Judging by the pitter-patter of little feet, she had escaped again to run around in just her diaper.

"Ryo of course. What else is new?" Dee smiled when he heard a yelp and realized that Keiry had just found Duke's tail again. "He sounded down on the phone earlier tonight. Something is bothering him. Then there's the fact that I could actually hear the man's stomach growling. Over the phone no less! When I mentioned it. He nonchalantly tells me that he got busy and forgot to eat." Dee heard another yelp this time from Andrew. There went his ponytail. "Something happened at work. I'm sure of it."

The light but far less pitter patter sound of Lyn's feet exiting the study could be heard as he went to rescue the rest of the family from the mischievous almost-two-year old. "Well you could... AIYEE! Not the earrings Kei!" Lyn yelped. "Good Lord child! Who put a quarter in you? Fine you want to run around in a diaper then you'd better leave the damn..." Dee sat in his chair smiling over the exchange. Keiry was a handful and a half that was certain.

"Language!" Andrew called from the girl's room where he was rocking Annie.

"I mean like the beaver dear." Lyn called back. "...Thing on!" Keiry much to everyone's dismay had figured out to work the tabs on the sides of her diapers. Lyn took a breath before finishing his sentence to Dee. "You could call him."

"You know you wouldn't have a problem if you just took all those dang things out of your ear. Is it just one ear or both that are pierced? I never asked?" Dee chuckled. "Yeah I could but I told him to call me once he got home and had a chance to eat and relax. I called him once. I don't want to set his hopes up by me calling all the time and then finding that I can't deal with having him near." Dee ran his hand through his hair. "What would you do?" Dee felt his cane being moved and quickly caught the culprit. "Okay you! Uncle Dee has you now." Dee signed 'Tickle Time' and had her giggling before he even started.

"It's both ears but more in the left then in the right." Glad to have the little monster off of his hands for a moment Lyn perched on the arm of an open chair watching Dee tickle the squealing toddler. Some part of Lyn always cringed to hear that odd obviously deaf little voice. He knew that it was terrible of him.

Lyn loved his daughter with his whole heart and was damned determined for her to never ever feel 'disabled' but... he was a musician and it broke his heart just a little to know that Kei would never quite share that with him. He cleared his throat, talking over the girl's delighted giggles. "I would call him. It would make him happy. Besides if you set a precedent for evening phone conversation he may feel a little less of a need to try and see you all the time?"

"Okay I guess that makes sense." Dee arched an eyebrow. "So with all that metal on you does your head lean to one side?" He laughed. "I can see it now... You take out the earrings in the left ear and your head springs up! BOING!" Dee could hear Drew laughing as he walked down the hall towards them, having overheard Dee's comments. "Before I do call him. Give me her sleeper will ya. I'll show you how to get that bugger on." Dee beamed.

Lyn gave him the sleeper all right, tossing it so that it ended up draped over Dee's head. "If only you know where I had metal boy-o." Lyn growled then chuckled as his comment actually made Andrew blush.

Dee's jaw dropped. "NO! You don't? Holy shi... shipping!" He spoke as he calmly wiggled Keiry into her sleeper with little to no effort and then held the cherub up. "TA DA! Mission accomplished."

Lyn retrieved the finally worn out Keiry chuckling. "I do. I did it during an extremely drunken stupor in my law school years though I've never heard a complaint from Andrew." Lyn smirked as he sauntered out of the room, waggling his eyebrows at Drew who looked about ready to crawl under the nearest piece of furniture.

"Hey Drew I bet that right now you are pulling a Ryo aren't you? Cherry red and ready to find a rock to hide under." Dee laughed even more. "So he's got his crotch pierced. Give him credit for being brave... Or nuts, however you want to put it." Dee felt safe to speak freely since no kids were present now.

"Three times... He has it pierced three times. You'd think that once would be enough. That's Lyn though all or nothing. Weren't you calling Ryo?" Drew asked pointedly, not about to let Dee dodge the issue

"On my way Captain America." Dee stood up to reach for the phone, sighing to himself. Dialing the number he waited, frowning when he heard the voice on the other end. "Hello? MacLean Residence." It was Bikky of course. That actually had surprised him. Usually Ryo almost always answered the phone no matter what he might have been doing at the time it would ring.

"Hey Brat! Is Ryo home?" Dee's fingers absently traced over the King from the chessboard as he spoke.

"Yeah but he's sleeping." Bikky plopped down on the couch, putting his feet up and relaxing. "He came home about 2 hours ago, ate and then went to take a shower. He never made it... He must have laid down and fell right off to sleep." Sighing heavily, Bikky looked at his fingers, holding them up fascinated with the fact that he could see the bones when he held them up against a light source. "He still sleeps a lot Dee. Is this normal? I mean he's always saying that he's tired."

"Uh... I think it's just because he hasn't gotten his strength back and may still have a bit of fever yet. Remember how tired Lyn was when he first came home? He's still only working half days. Would you go and just double check that he's okay and that he doesn't have a fever? Just feel his forehead with the inside of your wrist or your lips." Dee at first, had been a little hurt that Ryo hadn't called but if the man needed sleep or was still feeling crummy Dee wasn't about to deprive him of that. No matter how much he wanted to hear his voice.

"Okay hang on." Bikky put the phone down and scampered off then coming back a short time later. "Hey Dee? Hang on he had to use the bathroom and then he'll be right on." Bikky replied. "He still looks like shit man! Shouldn't he be eating some soup or something?" He asked, concerned about his guardian. "Anyway how are Drew and Lyn? Is Drew busting your ass royally? I hope so!" Bikky smirked.

"Yeah Drew rides me like...err rather yes he gives me a hard time. And yes he should be eating some soup. Why don't you go and heat some up for him while I talk to him and see what's going on? Oh and Bikky? Watch the language will ya? You know how Ryo hates it when you swear." Dee reminded him and then allowed his voice to trail off as he waited with bated breath for Ryo to pick up the phone.

"Okay I will try to be careful with my mouth. And just as soon as he picks up the phone I'll get some soup started for him." Bikky was all too happy to do whatever it took in order to get Ryo healthy again.

"Bikky I got it! You can hang up now." Ryo's tired voice sang through the line and then a click as one line went dead. "Hello Dee? I'm sorry I didn't call like I had promised. I kind of fell asleep after I got home from work. I guess that I have to get used to the long work hours again." Ryo sighed, happy to hear the voice of the man he loved even if he wasn't there beside him.

"Hey baby you need the rest. Bikky says that you're still not feeling too great yet." Dee's voice was laced with concern.

"I guess that I had too much on my mind and I'm trying to do too much all at once. I will try and take it easy, I promise." Ryo leaned into the large pillows on his bed, sighing softly and wishing that Dee were there to hold him. He missed the smell of Dee's cologne, the smell of the shampoo he used to wash his hair. He even missed the stale tobacco smell always left in his clothes. Those things were uniquely Dee and he missed it all right now more then ever. "If it wasn't the cases we're working on, it was JJ trying to make me jealous by telling me that Drew was getting very friendly with you. Then Ro... I mean Uhm..." Ryo cringed. He didn't want to say anything. Dee didn't need to be stressed out. "Oh I found out the date for Marlo's trial." He finally spit out in hopes of getting Dee off of his blunder.

"Drew and I?" Dee couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Oh yeah right! Drew would tattoo Lyn's name on his ass if... Wait! Back the trolley up... What about Rose?" Dee was immediately on alert, his voice gruff. If that asshole had touched his Ryo...

"It's nothing Dee. Don't worry. I can handle him. He... Uhm... He just got on my case about coming back to work and not being fit. The whole fainting thing and then taking time off yesterday afternoon when I came to see you before going home instead of back to the office. That's all." Ryo prayed that that would satisfy Dee. He really didn't want to talk about it. "Did you hear that I found out the trial date?" Ryo smiled when Bikky walked in and brought him a bowl of soup, which he ate while speaking with Dee.

Dee could hear the lie almost as clearly as he could once see when Ryo was lying. But he let it go for now. "I heard. When is it?" Dee's voice was still rough. It was already a loaded conversation and they had only been on the phone less then ten minutes.

"June 28th. I haven't heard a time or which courtroom but you'll probably get something on that as well." Ryo closed his eyes, his head hurt and he felt like he weighed a ton as his body just sunk into the bed. "Are you angry with me? You sound like you are."

"There was something more about Rose. I can hear it in your voice. Tell me!" It wasn't a question. It was a command.

"Dee please? Don't ruin our time by talking about... About him." Ryo laid his arm across his head, shielding his eyes from the light being cast by the lamp next to his bed. "Can I stop by tomorrow night and see you?" Holding his breath, Ryo waited, knowing that he was putting himself out on a limb by asking.

"I don't know. Maybe." It was all Dee could offer him and he hated himself for it. How could he explain? "We'll talk tomorrow okay? You're tired. Get some sleep."

Ryo wanted to just cry right then and there. "Yeah... Sure. Hey Dee? Call me sometime. That's if I mean anything to you. Bye." Ryo placed the phone down gently, not sure if he could handle too much more of this roller coaster ride Dee had him on. He needed Dee and Dee needed him and without that he felt empty. Crawling slowly out of the bed he went to check on Bikky, reminding him that it was time for bed as he continued on to the kitchen to wash up the dishes he had in his hand.

Dee would have stared at the phone if he could stare. Instead he just cradled it in his hand a moment before setting it down. Ryo's words had stung but he couldn't blame him for saying it. The way he had been acting lately, one minute accepting Ryo's love and the next pushing it away warranted the remark, that was certain. Dee sat there for almost an hour, debating the pros and cons of what he was contemplating before finally making a decision. It was the only one that he could make... The right one.

He got to his feet, picking up his cane and finding his way into the hallway where he listened carefully then tracked the sounds of life to the kitchen. He waited in the doorway a moment, listening to the sounds of someone washing dishes. Probably Andrew but he wanted to be sure. Finally the man's heavier footsteps gave him away. "Hey Drew?"

"What's up Dee?" Andrew paused in his washing. The rough sound of calloused hands drying themselves on a dishcloth alerted Dee that he had Andrew's full attention.

"Would you mind driving me over to Ryo's?" There was a pause, a long pause and Dee was quite sure that there was a smug grin on Andrew's face.

"Sure can." Andrew called up to Lyn and grabbed the car keys.

To Dee, the drive over seemed both excruciatingly long and startlingly short. Ryo needed him, needed him badly, he could here that, even with out the flip remark. Dee was a bit shocked to find that for once in his life he was putting someone else's needs above his own. But it was his love, his Ryo that needed him and he wasn't going to disappoint him. Dee stepped out onto the sidewalk, telling Drew he could find his own way. He was confident enough in his skills with the cane and his familiarity with Ryo's building to not be worried.

Tapping his cane along out in front of him he found the elevator and the right button up to Ryo's floor. His heart hammered in his chest. What if Ryo wanted more then just comforting arms and what if he couldn't deliver? "Ryo won't care you ass." Dee muttered to himself. "It's not your hard dick that he's in love with." Dee actually blushed a minute as he realized he wasn't entirely sure that he was alone. A quick sweep of his cane around the elevator assured him that his comment was indeed only his own.

Finally the elevator came to a halt and Dee stepped out, carefully feeling his way to the right apartment. Taking out his spare key he unlocked the door and stepped in silent as a wraith. A certain silence and stillness permeated the room around him. He paused and listened. Bikky's quiet snores were audible from his room and from Ryo's room Dee could hear soft sniffles. The man appeared to be all cried out and just too exhausted to do anything else.

Dee moved carefully, silently opening the door to Ryo's bedroom and leaning his cane against the wall. He could tell that Ryo still had not heard him. 'Damn he really must be upset.' Dee found the edge of the bed, and sat down as his hands found Ryo's prone form and pulled him close."Shhh. It's okay baby."

"D-Dee...?" Ryo at first couldn't believe it. He had to touch him several times before he realized that it was indeed Dee sitting there and holding on to him. "Oh God Dee!" Ryo wrapped his arms around the one who held his heart so dear, showering his face with kisses. "I miss you all the time Dee. I miss you being here and just holding me. Please Dee I won't ask for anymore then you can give but I need you. Please stay and just hold me? Please Dee." He rained kisses down over his cheeks, happy to have Dee so close. "I'm so lonely here at night without you..." Ryo kissed down one side of Dee's face and then the other before crushing his lips against his.

Dee surprised even himself when he seized Ryo's mouth after Ryo had taken the initiative, kissing him deeply his tongue slipping in to explore familiar territory. Slowly he lay Ryo back on the bed, lying down with him as he kissed him deeply and thoroughly. Finally he slowly pulled away lips moving over Ryo's face to kiss away tears that had started to fall. "I am here with you now." He whispered as his fingers traced over one side of Ryo's face, carding through his hair. "I'm here now baby."

"I love you so much Dee. This is killing me not having you with me. I know that you need time. I know that more then anything but it's so hard Dee. It's so hard..." Ryo shivered as Dee's hands danced over the side of his face. They were lying face to face and before Ryo realized what he was doing, he pulled Dee's head closer, grasping black hair and kissing him deeply. This time though he slipped his tongue past soft pink lips, moaning as he tasted and explored. Their bodies pressed closer, chest to chest, hip to hip with Dee's leg slipping between his two.

Never could he imagine feeling this much heated passion as was consuming him now. Ryo realized that if fate were on their side, he'd have no second thoughts about Dee making love to him. Ryo broke the kiss when the need for air became too great but only paused long enough to take in a deep breath of fresh air before plundering Dee's mouth again.

Dee took charge, striving with Ryo's tongue as he rolled so that he was mostly on top of Ryo, giving his hips more leverage to press into his lovers and press against his all ready aroused member. 'Don't think just do.' Dee told himself as his hands went for the buttons on Ryo's pajama shirt, unbuttoning then disposing of the fabric so that his fingers could skate over Ryo's hard chest, stroking his warm smooth skin then finding one sensitive nipple with his thumb he teased it to hardness.

Ryo gasped as the heat of Dee's hands danced over his cool skin. Never before had he felt something so erotic. Dee seemed to know just how to touch him, just how to hit areas that would elicit the greatest pleasure. Each spot Dee touched seemed to come alive awakening nerve endings that tingled with pleasure. When Dee started kissing down over his chest, stopping to lavish attention to a nipple all ready hardened it sent shock waves coursing through his body and straight to his sex making it throb and twitch within the confines of his cotton pajamas.

Sure Dee had done this to him before, had turned him on in the past but this time it felt different... This time there would be no stopping them. Ryo found himself panting and grasping a handful of Dee's hair, wanting him to keep going. He was hard and aching and the only way he would feel complete would be through his release, one that Dee and only Dee could bring to him.

"Dee..." Ryo's moans were soft, his hands stroking through soft ebony locks while eyes were glazing over with passion's fury. "I need you Dee. Please make love to me... Show me how good it is... I need you so badly." Ryo arched his hips up, crying out softly over the contact as his erection brushed over Dee's, still trapped within his jeans.

Dee's own moans echoed after Ryo's. He raked his teeth lightly over the nipple that he was pleasuring, eliciting a louder moan from the man underneath him before slowly kissing lower. His tongue laving over Ryo's chest and taunt stomach then flicking under the waistband of his pajama bottoms. "Please.... Dee.... Please..." Ryo wasn't even sure just what he was begging for exactly but Dee's mouth and hands were bringing him to new heights of arousal. Dee kneeled between Ryo's splayed legs and drew off the hindering material so that Ryo was naked before him. He longed for a moment with all his being that he could see Ryo spread out before him like this. To see him panting flushed and aroused but that wish wasn't about to be granted. Ryo interrupted Dee's brief melancholy thoughts's with hands frantically tugging off his shirt. Dee slid out of the article as his fingers traced over Ryo's thighs. Ryo arched upwards desperate for those hands on where he ached most.

"Dee? I want to see you like you're seeing me. My eyes are closed too." Ryo panted out as he slowly began using his hands to explore the muscular contours of Dee's chest. "You're beautiful Dee... You feel beautiful." Ryo's hands slid down, tracing the line of fine hairs that went from his love's navel and disappeared beneath the waistband of his jeans. Going back up, he glided over the washboard stomach, moaning as Dee's hands inched closer... "T-Touch me Dee... Please?" The request was made in a whispered hush and Ryo was glad that Dee couldn't see the red that now stained his cheeks. "I love you Dee... I love you."

"I love you too Ryo." Dee shuddered at Ryo's caresses and his pleas. After mapping every inch of his partners thighs and hips he slowly dragged his fingers over his straining erection, smiling as Ryo's whole body quivered over the sensation.

"Kami! Yes, yes Dee!" Ryo gasped. Dee's fingers circled his stiff member sliding up and down in long even strokes then without giving Ryo any warning he bent his head and drew his length slowly into his mouth, tongue seeking out the places that would cause the most pleasure. His own hard on was painfully straining against his jeans as every writhe and whimper that Ryo made caused his own hampered shaft to quiver.

Softly Ryo cried out when he felt himself being devoured by lips soft and moist. The heat that now surrounded his hardened flesh was maddening. Ryo couldn't control the involuntary thrusting of his hips as Dee's talented mouth worked him, bringing him ever closer to that edge... The edge of heaven. "Dee... Please... Let me do something for you... Tell me what I can do to pleasure you!" Ryo barely managed to get the words out before he felt himself drawing closer. He began to moan louder and chanting under his breath. "Oh God. Oh God. Oh God... Dee! I'm so close koibito...! So damn close." Ryo's head thrashed from side to side while his hands clenched and unclenched over Dee's shoulders. Never had he felt something so exquisite as what Dee was doing to him. No women had ever brought him this close so quickly or so easily. "Dee! Sugio kanjiru... Feels great..."

Dee thought that he might simply die of arousal overload... A complete lack of blood flow to the brain since it was all concentrated in the hardened shaft between his thighs and still trapped within the constraints of skintight jeans. Slowly he released Ryo from his mouth as his hand sought out the lotion that he knew was in the bedside table drawer since he had put it there months ago. Taking some in his palm he coated his fingers as he reached down to stroke over Ryo's virgin entrance, just rubbing over his tight bud at first to tease it into relaxing just a little, kissing over Ryo's chest and neck as he pleasured him a new way.

He knew that they were too aroused, too ready for him to properly stretch Ryo and prepare him for what was to come. They needed each other too badly. He just hoped he could be careful enough to prevent Ryo from being torn too badly. Even if he had taken the time, Ryo would be sore tomorrow, and even properly lubricated, Ryo might tear and bleed. Yet as pushed his fingers into his lover he knew it was a risk they both were about to silently and mutually take. They wanted this... This was what he had waited two years for. Dee groaned in anticipation of what was to come as he worked Ryo a little more. It was just his finger yet he thought for sure that he had died and gone to heaven. Never in his wildest dream could he have imagined feeling something so wonderfully hot and velvety soft... But that's just what he felt. Ryo was remarkable, tight hot and beautiful.

"Dee!" Ryo cried out. His body was on fire now. Every nerve was tingling and making his skin hum with pleasure. All he wanted now was Dee. His Dee filling him and loving him in a way that only he could and one that would forever seal their love. Their joining was about to happen, finally after two years, Ryo would be marked, claimed by the man who so long ago had claimed and then captured his heart "I'm not afraid anymore... I trust you koibito! I..." Ryo's mind went crazy with each sensation. The fingers thrusting into him were driving him insane even though it did hurt at first.

He knew that Dee had to be barely holding on and he wanted so badly to make his lover feel just as good. "I want you Dee!" Ryo's cries remained soft, mainly due to Bikky sleeping right next door but still it didn't diminish the passion flowing through his veins charging straight to his sex and causing it to ache for release. Ryo was well aware of the fact that this was going to hurt and hurt like hell but he could handle it... For Dee he would handle it. Most likely he would be sore and even find blood on the sheets but it was worth it. Dee was about to make him his... What more could he ask for?

With a soft growl Dee shucked his jeans and underwear in record time. He turned Ryo over onto his stomach not needing his vision for something so ingrained in his being. Ryo had barely touched him but with how turned on he was right now that was probably a good thing. He moaned even as he touched himself to spread the lotion on his quivering shaft. Positioning himself behind Ryo then pressing against his virgin bud. Dee rubbed the head of his member over it, trying to relax the tight ring of muscle even more.

His arm came around Ryo's waist, to gently support him while the other guided his throbbing shaft to where it would ultimately find release. "I love you Ryo." He whispered as he pressed in past the muscle that wanted to keep him out. God he was tight! Tighter then he had expected. Yet it felt so frigging good, so hot and smooth. The muscles were clamping down onto him making him have to wait until they loosened enough for him to push forward.

Ryo grunted over the intrusion as pain seared through his backside and tears slipped from his eyes. God it hurt! How the hell was he going to get through this? Burying his face into his pillow he took several deep breaths trying to get used to the rather large organ now pushing into his body. He wanted this though. He wanted to be complete and so he kept quiet and hoped the pain would subside.

Dee groaned but forced himself to move slower, allowing time for Ryo to adjust. Kissing his back gently. "I know baby. It hurts and I am sorry. It won't always be like this. I promise. Give it a minute and just try to relax. Once you're used to it, it won't be so bad." Dee whispered, a hand moving to rub Ryo's back, tender with concern. "If you want me to stop I will Ryo... Just say the word baby."

"It's okay Dee. Please don't stop baby. I want this. Please Dee... I love you... Always and forever. The pain will fade after a while I know that." Ryo found himself rocking his hips backwards, burying more and more of Dee into him doing his best to ignore the pain that seemed to encompass his whole internal cavity yet he kept rocking until he was pressed against the flesh of Dee's hips. "Arching his back slightly, Ryo raised up onto his elbows, moaning as Dee began a slow and steady rhythm.

Indeed the pain was beginning to fade and was soon replaced with a gentle yet pleasurable ripple as Dee moved within him. When Dee adjusted the angle he hit something deep inside him that had Ryo literally seeing stars and sending a pleasurable tingle throughout his body... The feeling had his sex crying out for release in the biggest of ways as pre-cum oozed out, dripping onto the sheets below him. God it was like nothing he could have ever imagined before. Reaching under himself, Ryo began stroking his own length his thumb spreading the moisture over the head and down the sides to help move his hand along. God but he needed this! He needed this completion with the one he loved.

Dee's hand quickly replaced his own, competent fingers knowing just how to touch him as the pace of Dee's hips increased. "God! Feels so good Ryo." Dee could feel the pressure building at the base of his shaft and knew it wouldn't be long, grasping desperately to some form of control but losing just as quickly. "Hurry baby..." Dee panted with need as he kissed Ryo sweat soaked skin. He could feel Ryo's erection trembling in his hand. 'So close... We're both so close... Just a little longer.'

Hearing Dee's pleas and moans was all Ryo needed. The need to end the ache was greater then ever. "DEE! IKU IKU! I'm coming!" Ryo threw his head back as his whole body went into a spasm with his release shooting out over Dee's skilled hand, his hips thrusting back harder and his cries soft and sweet. "I love you Dee... Oh God I love you!" Ryo's tears fell gently as the emotions overwhelmed him. Nothing could have prepared him for the influx of emotions that were now filling his heart and soul. His heart was so full of love that it seemed to physically hurt.

Dee cried out wordlessly as his own climax tore through him. His seed spurting deep inside his love, coating the tender insides as he gave several more thrusts hitting that spongy material and causing Ryo to whimper softly. "I love you!" He felt as though his very soul shot into Ryo with his come and he collapsed forward on one shaky hand. His head rested against Ryo's back as he tried to catch his breath. Carefully he lowered both of them to the mattress, slowly withdrawing from Ryo's warm body and pulling him tightly against his chest. "You may have torn and bled baby. I am sorry about that. Next time it shouldn't be so bad." Dee whispered as he kissed across one bare shoulder.

"It's okay lover. I know that it couldn't be avoided. It's worth it all. You're mine now Dee. We are joined in every sense of the word." Ryo whispered hoarsely, still overcome with emotions. "Never let me go Dee. Promise me that." Ryo's voice was also one of pure exhaustion, between work, lack of sleep, his illness and now this he had no more energy left to give. Ryo pressed back into Dee, molding their bodies, clutching Dee's arm to hold it in place. His life was forever changed now and he couldn't have been happier.

"I won't baby. Not ever." Dee kissed Ryo's neck tenderly fingers stroking Ryo's sweat dampened hair away from his brow. He too felt the weight of exhaustion creeping over him. He also felt the emotions overwhelming him. His life was forever changed. Never would he ever wonder again what it would be like to have this exquisite man now lying within his arms. Ryo was his and he was Ryo's. Ryo had stolen his heart, captured his soul and now had possessed his body. "Goodnight lover. I love you... Forever."

Ryo smiled into the darkness before realizing that he still hadn't opened his eyes. That thought only broadened his smile and when he felt the blankets being drawn over their nude and fully sated bodies he allowed his mind to relax. Dee was his finally. Heart mind body and soul. And nothing or no one was ever going to take that away from him. "Goodnight koibito. Ai shiteru itsumo." Ryo said faintly as he slowly drifted down into a peaceful sleep.

Wildefyre: Awww! Wasn't that kawaii? Now will it stay or is there more peril to be had in their lives? Hehe you know me! What the heck I'm even pulling Irish into my lust for angst! Oh the troubles me thinks up! Want more chapters? Then review... Review... and review! Oh and Bpurg? That sketch of Drew and Lyn in bunny costumes was HOT!!! Now how about Dee and Ryo in leather thongs? Please? *Gives chibi eyes*

Irish: Well then, heheh, the long awaited lemon between our boys! Hehehe And don't fret there is more buried somewhere in our piles of IM's ;).The Lyrics for this chapter are a funny story. I all ready had the MP3 in my "TFH' folder when I think it was Jexia that recommended the song to me and I finally found a good place for it. Also the song in the brief case is apparently only half the song. I acquired if from the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack and when I went to look up the lyrics there was a verse and a half that I had never heard before. So if this isn't quite the song you all have heard before that's why. I'm sorry that my website has been slow to update. May I remind everyone that I am a college student? LOL. And I've been told that people are doing Lyn and Drew fan art as well. I got some hot stuff from Bpurg but what about the rest of you? :P LOL All right see ya next chapter! :D
