Disclaimer: I do not own FAKE at all. This is my first attempt to write a FAKE fic (by myself, I made one with a joint account which is named Bitter Sweet Symphony. Please check that out).
I have redone this chapter. It is no longer a one shot. I am going to make it longer. Thanks to those who had reviewed my story. I appreciate it.
What Would Life Be Like Without Me?
It was a beautiful spring morning in New York City. The sun shined through the windowpane of Ryo and Dee's bedroom. The warm light illuminated the creamy white skin of Dee's face. As he opened his beautiful green eyes, the piercing light of the sun blinded him. The sting of the light in his eyes caused him to roll over on his side and come face-to-face with his love Ryo.
He took his hand and lightly slid his fingers down Ryo's cheeks. Dee stared in awe at Ryo. 'How cute he looks when he sleeps' he thought to himself. He could not resist. He quietly leaned over and kissed Ryo's luscious lips. Ryo awakened to Dee's soft lips just touching his. He looked at Dee with those big black eyes of his. The thought of waking up to something so beautiful made a smile break on his face. He slowly rose from his bed and took a quick glance at his alarm clock. It was nine o'clock in the morning. His eyes widened with astonishment. In a panicked motion, Ryo jumped from the bed and screamed "DEE! Get up! We're going to be late for work".
Dee grabbed Ryo's wrists gently and said in the calmest voice, "It's alright. I asked the Chief if we could have vacation for a little while." Even though being on vacation was a great thing to Ryo, he was worried because Bikky is spending the weekend at Carol's house which means that Dee and Ryo will be left alone...Ryo does trust Dee to some extent. However, asking the Chief for vacation without even mentioning it to Ryo seems kind of odd. There is something up Dee's sleeve.
Ryo with a questioned look on his face said "Dee what is this all about? You usually tell me that we should go on vacation, and we ask the Chief together. You asked without even telling me. What is going on?" Ryo is not stupid. He can tell when Dee is hiding something due to his actions and attitude. Ryo has known Dee long enough to tell when something is going on. Just what it is, he does not know.
"It's alright Ryo. There is nothing wrong. I just wanted to spend time with you this weekend. Is that too much to ask? We have been working hard all year. We deserve some time to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather we are having. We do not have to worry about anything but us", Dee exclaimed about one inch from Ryo's face. Dee placed his warm hands on Ryo face and pulls him towards him in a quick action and placed a long passionate kiss upon Ryo's lips. Before Ryo could say anything, Dee put his long slender fingers to Ryo's mouth stopping him from saying anything and whispered "Shh don't say a word". Dee got off the bed and headed for the dressers.
He opened each drawer and placed a pile of clothes next to Ryo. "Please wear these for today; they will look good on you." Ryo was afraid to look what Dee picked out for him. With Dee's mind, who knows what he picked out. Ryo does not know what kind of clothes Dee has in his dresser. Hopefully he does not have to wear like sexy underwear or something just for Dee's amusement. However, if he did its ok it's not like anyone will see his underwear anyway. To Ryo's surprise there was a nice pair of blue jeans, underwear (not sexy type) and a white buttoned up shirt. At least Ryo won't feel uncomfortable with wearing those.
Ryo slipped on the clothes Dee gave him and Dee put on a short sleeve white shirt and a nice pair of black pants. "I have to go pick up something. Don't go anywhere until I get back." Dee said while opening the bedroom door. Dee winked at Ryo and slowly closed the door behind him. He raced down the hall like he was on an emergency call at the police station. He busted through the double doors and bolted down the sidewalk.
Ryo, unaware of what is going to happen, just quietly paced back and forth in the bedroom. 'Is there a special occasion, which would explain the attitude Dee is portraying? Does it have to do something with the date today?' he thought. The questions puzzled Ryo. "Oh, I know". Ryo walked out of the bedroom down the hall and out the double doors of the apartment building.
Dee returned home ready to see the glee on Ryo's face once he sees what he has for him. However, once Dee arrived there was no Ryo in sight. That is so strange because most of the time Ryo listens to him. Where could he have gone to? Of course Dee is worried now. What to do is the question. He has to have known what today is then if he just left. Long and behold Ryo was waiting for Dee by a tree in the park. Dee raced to see his beloved. "I remembered", Ryo exclaimed with tears of joy in his eyes.
They were so happy it felt that the whole world just stood still at this moment. Dee reached on the ground where he left his gift. "Here Ryo, Happy Anniversary" Dee gave Ryo a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates. To Dee's surprise, Ryo did the same thing. "Happy Anniversary to you too Dee" The warm feeling of love overwhelmed them. Unfortunately, Ryo did not want to express his love for Dee in a public place. This was the place of their first kiss. How memorable it is.
Dee kneeled down next to the tree and tried to redo the same moment again. However this time, Ryo will not get so close that to even get his shirt grabbed by Dee. Ryo could not escape the fact that they are being watched. Ryo looked around to make sure that his gut feeling was true. He was hoping that he was just worried that they are in a public place and he does not want anyone to see them together like that.
Ryo saw a dark figure sitting on a bench about 20 feet away staring at them in disgust. 'In a public place they will do that? That is disturbing; there are so many people who do not want to see something like that. Just like the others. They don't care about anyone else's feelings about this but their own. It is time to teach them a lesson or two, on how to keep that kind of stuff to themselves", the man said to himself.
He walked up to Ryo and Dee and said, "Would you please do that somewhere else? There are many people who do not want to see that." in an angered tone.
Dee looks at the man with stern eyes. Like heck he was going to do this somewhere else. 'Don't look then' Dee responded furiously. It's their life, who cares what others think. The man noticed that Dee and Ryo were not going to move no matter what he said.
He became very impatient. 'Maybe with force they will stop this disgusting sappiness'. The man pulled out a black object from his coat pocket and pointed it at them. "You heard what I said now do it." It was a socom pistol.
Dee immediately jumped on the man and tried to free the gun from his hand. As Dee struggled with the man, the gun went off. A loud thud was heard behind Dee. Dee quickly spun around to see that Ryo's lifeless body lay on the ground. "No!!!!!" Dee screamed at the top of his lungs. Dee managed to get the gun from the man, but the man fled. A question came to mind; Chase after the man, or run to Ryo's aid. The answer was quite clear. There is no way he was going to leave Ryo there alone.
Dee rushed over to Ryo in horror. He lightly slid his fingers up and down Ryo's body searching for a hole from a bullet. Ryo's groan filled the air. His vision was blurred. All he said was "Dee...uh..." and he fainted. Dee held Ryo in his arms. The bullet has run through Ryo's chest. Maybe Dee will be able to save him. He hoped. Dee yelled "Somebody help us please!"
The first time in a long time, tears trickled down Dee's face like wax from a candle. It was a very gloomy scene. Someone has to have heard Dee. A man was strolling through the park when he heard Dee's voice. The man who stood next to Dee had blond hair and brown eyes. It was Commissioner Berkeley Rose. 'Out of all the people in the world to help us, it has to be him' Dee thought enraged.
Berkeley called for an ambulance as they sit in silence, waiting for what feels like forever. Neither of the two men can bear looking down at the man that they love. Out of all the things they went through with Ryo, it can not end like this. Although Berkeley can never have Ryo because Dee is always around, he tries to get what he wants. The actions that he takes to get Ryo are a different story. He has never been successful for trying to win Ryo's heart because he is more forceful than Dee. What bothers him the most is why Ryo likes Dee more than him. It does not make any sense.
Trying not to make matters worse Berkeley stood at least 2 feet away so Dee won't try to hit him if the question he asks upsets him. "Dee, the man who has done this", he paused, "Was he by any chance tall with dark hair, who carries a socom pistol?"
Dee responded with a solemn "yea". It's not like he really cared what Berkeley had to say. 'Why can't he just leave me alone? I need no sympathy' 'This is not the time to spark up a conversation, that rat bastard.'
"Well, there is a suspect by the name of Charlie Bleuch. He is wanted for murder of 3 gay couples. He has been at large for quite a while, and I am here to take him down."
"Like I really care why you're here", Dee said irritably. As Berkeley was about to respond to the rude comment of Dee's an alarm blared down the street and an ambulance pulled into the park where Ryo lay. They took Ryo and placed him in the back of the ambulance. As Dee climbed into the back Berkeley tried to go too. Dee looked at him like 'What the heck to you think your doing' Berkeley responded to the look and just stood at the scene. 'I save Ryo and this is the thanks I get? Oh well there will be other times' Berkeley thought irrationally. He knows he will never be able to be with Ryo but there is always a chance to at least kiss those lips again. At this thought a big smile slaps on his face.
Meanwhile, in the ambulance, Dee is trying to control his emotions and trying not to freak out. No words could describe his hatred for that man, and how much guilt he is facing now. He thought 'This is all my fault. If only we did not take this day off." 'If I didn't ask, things would have been different.' The ambulance finally arrived at the hospital and they slowly took Ryo out and rushed him to the emergency room. Dee had to stay behind. He wanted to be with Ryo so he tried to force his way to the emergency room where Ryo is held.
One of the ambulance men put his arm out to stop Dee and exclaimed, "I'm sorry sir but I can't let you through".
Dee cried out "But I have to go through, you do not understand, I have to be with him."
"I'm sorry sir but you must sit down."
A group of employees surrounded Dee and grabbed a hold of him. Dee began to kick and scream bloody murder. However, the struggling did not pay off. He wound up in the waiting room. Dee rested his head on the wall and pounded his fist on it. Tears streamed down his face. Dee paced back and forth in the room. Visions of the incident went through his mind. Every second he thought of it, the more blame he placed on himself.
After long grueling hours, a nurse came into the waiting room. The room was a disaster. Magazines were on the floor, and chairs were flipped over. The nurse looked around the room and noticed Dee all curled in the corner facing the wall. She said "Mr. Laytner, you may see your friend now. He is in room 203."
How relieved Dee was to hear that. His Ryo must be alright. Thank goodness. Dee paced down the hall. He finally arrived at room 203. Ryo was unconscious still. Dee kneeled down and put his face onto the bed and sobbed. "Oh Ryo if only I wasn't so stupid. I couldn't save you. This is all my fault. I wished I never existed then this would have never happened to you."
A bright white light approached Dee. He could see a figure of a beautiful woman. It was an angel.
"Do not think that Dee" a voice spoke."Never say that. Life would be so much different for Ryo if you weren't there. Many things would not be the same" Dee did not believe what this lady was telling him so she had to show him.
Randy Maclean arrived at the 27th precinct on a gorgeous Monday morning. Randy took a deep breath of air before applying to be an officer, which he has dreamed of for a long time. Randy grabbed for the doorknob, turned it, and stepped into what he thought was going to be a good time. Randy walked up to the desk to a pretty blonde woman officer whom went by the name Janet, to greet her and apply for his job.
"Good Morning, my name is Randy Maclean and I would like to work here as an officer." The woman could not resist smiling at his politeness. She thought he was so cute. She wouldn't mind going out with this stud.
"Good Morning to you too" she said nervously. She took out a clipboard from underneath the desk and asked Randy if he would fill it out. As Randy was filling it out Janet could not keep her eyes off of him. She would love to be in his arms. The way he holds that pen, he looks so gentle. She wondered what it would be like if those fingers touched her face. "Here you go", he exclaimed with a smile on his face.
"Thank you" she said while taking the clipboard from him staring straight into his eyes. "You will have to talk to the Chief, so please go down this hall. His office is right at the end."
"Thank you" he said innocently. As he walked away, Janet could not resist looking at his behind. How she wanted to grab that butt of his. Randy knocks on the Chief's door, hears a welcoming, and slowly turns the knob. You could not tell that he was nervous, but he was inside. He does not like to show his emotions much.
"Yeah, what is it?" the chief said grumpily.
"Oh so skunky old badger is still a jerk, even though I am not there", Dee stated.
"Dee please be quiet and just watch" the angel replied angrily
"My name is Randy Maclean, I am a new recruit sir", Ryo responded.
"Oh, I remember someone saying you were coming in today", the Chief said. "I have nothing for you today. Also I have to find you a partner. For now take this gun and badge and go practice at the shooting range room down the hall to your left." The Chief handed Randy a Beretta and a nice new NYPD badge.
Randy left to go to the shooting range thinking 'Phew it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.' There was a shooting range contest going on today. Just what Randy wanted. He was pretty good at shooting targets. He wondered how he would do today. He hasn't shot a gun in a long time. When he arrived in the room a young silver haired man who looked like he was doing pretty well. He kept getting the middle of the target. He was pretty good. He will be a nice challenge.
A man by the name of Drake gave the signal to start the competition. "GO!" After the first target officers were eliminated. After many rounds it was down to the last two men standing. It was Randy and the silver haired man left. Target after target they kept getting the same score.
After about a half hour Drake just called it a tie. Randy was so impressed with his competition he had to meet this man. He approached the man and introduced himself
"Hello, my name is Randy Maclean. You are very good. What is your name?"
The man looked at Randy in disgust. He believed that Randy was not attractive at all. He thought that he was actually dorky looking. "My name is Jemmy J. Adams" he replied in a vicious tone.
"Ok everyone we have to go into the Chief's office he has something to tell us" Drake announced.
Randy walked back into the Chief's office and stands next to the other officers. JJ was at the front of the office with the Chief.
"This is Jemmy J Adams, he has been a force sniper for about six months now. The only one of you would be a challenge to him is Randy." The Chief said.
All the eyes focused on him like he had three heads. JJ looked at Randy like he is no challenge. He could whoop him any day; however the contest proved they are a good match against each other. Good thing they are partners, right?
"What! Partners!" Dee screamed. There is no way that little st can be my man's partner.
The angel put her hand on Dee's shoulder and said "But, you do not exist, so this is the way it is, and there is more." "More?" He questioned.
It has been several weeks since the first day Randy and JJ met. They have decided to take a vacation for a little while. They went to England to get a hotel for two weeks. Randy went up to the desk clerk and received the keys to his and JJ's room. At least they don't have to share a room. Randy opens the door to the balcony and a nice breeze welcomed him. Randy stood close to the edge and looked over the side. He saw a man walk by. He was a blonde hair brown eye man. His piercing stare at Randy made him feel uncomfortable.
Randy goes next door to JJ's room and explains to him about the man that he just saw. By the description of the man JJ seemed interest. "Ooo I wonder if I'll meet him sometime soon." The glow in his eyes made Randy back away. 'What is with JJ?' he thought.
There was a sudden noise that disturbed Randy and JJ. They grabbed their berrettas and creaked open the door. A gun came to their heads. The man said, "Don't move". Randy looked up at the man and it turned out to be the man he saw earlier. The man introduced himself to be Berkeley Rose. He was an assistant inspector, New York state police headquarters. What a sigh of relief, he was on their side.
Renard Henry and the chef of the hotel come into the room where they are standing and the chef takes out a butcher knife and tries to stab Ryo. Berkeley whips out his gun and shoots the chef right in the head. Berkeley points the gun at Renard Henry and calls for backup. It turns out that murders have been happening around this hotel to people who are Japanese. Poor Randy, or Ryo, is part Japanese, so he was the target. The police finally arrived at the hotel and arrested Renard Henry.
Randy went up to Berkeley and said "Thank you so much for saving my life. I owe you one." Berkeley just stared into Randy's face and said "You're welcome Randy". A smile from ear to ear came across Berkeley's face. He was in love with Randy, no doubt about it. He just wanted to kiss those lips but JJ was there. Impressed JJ stood behind Berkeley staring at him with that glitter is his eyes.
They had to say their good byes but Berkeley would see them again soon. JJ was so depressed that they had to leave such a handsome man as Berkeley behind. It was time to go back to work.
"What gives?" Dee questioned. "Well Dee since Berkeley is like you JJ fell in love with him. Also now that you are not there to protect Ryo..." the voice said. A scared look came upon Dee's face. He is scared to find out what happens next.
Randy and JJ returned to work and now it is time for the Chief to take a vacation. The Chief came into his office where he gathered all his officers and he introduced his replacement for the time being.
A blonde haired man walked through the door. "This is Commissioner Berkeley Rose. He will be taken over for the time being".
Ryo's opened his mouth in astonishment. He never expected for this man to come here. JJ himself was so happy he could die.
Berkeley said to all the officers "It is nice to meet you all. Please go back to work." The chief picked up his bags with glee and ran out the door.
"He must have wanted this vacation for a long time. I have never seen him move so fast." Ryo said.
Berkeley walked up to Randy and JJ and asked "Will you join me in my office please". JJ was so excited that he nearly knocked Randy down to get into the office. Berkeley said to JJ "JJ will you please leave Randy and I to discuss something". JJ responded "Of course, I will be right out here, whenever you need me." A big wide smile overcame him will he slowly shut the door behind him.
Randy was explained to that he has to go on an investigation with Berkeley, Berkeley's friend Diana and JJ to put Ed Nielsen behind bars. Berkeley placed JJ with Diana for the time being. Which means…?
Berkeley went over to the windows that overlook into his office and he pulled the shades down so noone can see what happens inside his office. Randy stood there wondering what why Berkeley pull the blinds down.
"I guess this means that you will be working with me", he stated while he removed his glasses from his face and winked at Randy. Randy blushed instantly, he was not sure of what to say or what to think. Berkeley took slow short steps closer to Randy. His hands were placed on Randy's forearms pushing his back against the door, preventing him from moving.
"What are you doing sir?" Randy asked nervously.
"Well I believe that you owe me something for saving your life. Don't you?" he questioned slyly.
"Well, yes sir. I thank you again for that". Ryo watched as Berkeley's hands trailed further up on his body. His left hand slid down Randy's left arm, then his side then his lower back and resting it on his lower back while his right hand raised Randy's face to his. Randy could feel Berkeley's hot breath in his face. He stared at Randy with his big brown eyes. His face became closer and closer. His soft lips were just centimeters from Ryo's. Ryo closed his eyes and…….
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Dee screamed. A hand lay on his shoulder. "What's wrong", a sweet angelic voice said. Dee made a double take at Ryo's face. 'There is no angel, what the heck is going on' he thought. Ryo flipped Dee around. "Everything is alright".
"Oh Ryo my love, your alright". Dee fell into Ryo's embrace. Tears of joy spouted out of both their eyes. My love I have said before that it was all my fault that you were like this. I wished that I never existed."
Ryo looked at Dee and with a calm voice said "Dee it is not our fault. Never say that you do not want to exist. I need you. Never leave me. I love you." Their reunion lasted for so long, it felt like an eternity. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The doorknob slowly turns. All they could see was a shoe…….then a gun…..
I hope you enjoy the new and improved version. Thank you for reviewing.
