"Staying Away"-chapter 1

"Dee please stop groping my ass, we are in the office" Ryo said in a rather rough tone. "Aww.. come on Ryo these people don't give a shit what we are gonna do" Dee pleaded. Ryo angrily stood up and walked away without a word. Dee watched his koi walking away 'Must be his mood swing again,oh well he'll come back to his senses later' he thought to himself. Everybody in the office already knew that fact that he and Ryo were now a couple, much to JJ's disappointment who in turn stayed away from Dee. Dee was content and that was it.

After work Dee immediately came home very eager to see his koi, he quickly went inside "Ryo are you here?" he called out, "In here" Ryo replied in a low tone. Dee went to the living room only to see his koi sitting quietly not uttering another word, not even a "hello", "welcome back" or even gave Dee a kiss. Nothing just utterly sheer silence. Dee sat beside his lover and looked at him "Ryo what's wrong?" Dee asked. Ryo wouldn't even look at him. Dee turned Ryo's head making Ryo face him, "Look at me in the eye Ryo and tell me what's the problem?" he said with a serious voice.

Ryo looked into Dee's eyes "Dee, you know I love you right?" Ryo asked ,Dee gave out a nod. Ryo moved away a bit "It's just that.I really don't like it when you do things like that in public" Ryo began. "But were a couple now Ryo, everyone knows already and-" Dee began but was cut off by Ryo. "Being a couple doesn't give you the right to grope my ass in public anytime you want to, you're abusing Dee.. I don't think I can handle you anymore" Ryo continued. "So what are you trying to say Ryo?" Dee let out with a rather serious tone in his voice. "Dee.why don't we cool off for a while, ya know. spend a bit time away from each other" Ryo suggested. With that Dee stood up and went out the house feeling sad, lonely and hurt.

The next day Ryo came to work very early, made his way to the office and sat down in his usual spot. "Well, well ..if it isn't Mr. Dee Laytner, it's a miracle that you have gotten to work very early" the Chief teased. Not in the mood to argue with the Chief, Dee sat himself down to the desk which was facing Ryo. Ryo looked at him, Dee looked at Ryo then suddenly focused his eyes onto the ground. 'Dee' was all Ryo could think about. They both concentrated on their paper work for a while, it was break time and Ryo worried that Dee wouldn't go to lunch. 'Maybe I said to much. okay I'll treat him to a snack this time to take all the pressure off' Ryo thought and was about to stand when "Hey JJ, would you like to have a break with me?" Dee asked. "Dee-sempai.you know we are not allowed to do that, you have Ryo" JJ replied even though deep down he really wanted to go. Dee smiled, grabbed JJ by the wrists and went out of the station.

They decided to just walk. Then they went inside in a very lovely café just a few blocks from the station. They sat themselves down and ordered their food. "Ne, Dee-sempai.what's the occasion.. I mean why did you invite me ?" JJ asked with curiosity. Dee smiled a bit "Nothing, I just wanna cool off" Dee replied. JJ blink "Did you and Ryo have a fight"he asked again. "Yeah you could put it that way" Dee said. JJ in that moment had pity on Dee, "Don't worry Dee-sempai, you'll see everything will turn out god in the end" JJ said. Dee smiled. "Arigatou JJ, I hope it will also". The food came, JJ was in awe of the food displayed before him "It looks yummy"he said. "Eat up JJ! It's my treat" Dee offered. JJ's eyes lit up " Arigatou Dee-sempai"he said gratefully and chomped away his food. Dee was amused by JJ's simplicity that even a little thing can make him happy.

"Ring,Ring"goes Dee's cellphone. "Hello?" Dee answered. "Oi,Hunterson what's up?. Nani?we got the rest of the day off?that's great.Thanks for the update..see yah". Dee looked at JJ who was still eating his meal. "Hey JJ, do you have any plans this day?"Dee asked. "Iie Dee-sempai, why do you ask" JJ asked in return. "Can you come with me tonight?you know just hang out?" Dee invited. JJ's eyes lit up "Hai!"he said immediately. "Great!pick you up at your place at 7"Dee instructed. "Yup!7's good" JJ confirmed. They continued to eat and then left.

Ryo on the other hand was still left at the station,having heard that the resr on the day was off.everyone seemed to have acted like a mob of wild animals and quickly rushed out of the station. He stood up slowly and went out.
