"Jesus, Dee!" said Ryo as he was deposited on the bed. "A little gentler, will you?"

The younger detective flopped down on top of him not a second later, smirking at him.

"Oh, come on, Ryo. You're a glutton for punishment and you know it."

Ryo hit him, biffing him lightly on the arm. "Ass."

"Bitch."

"Whore."

Dee fake-gasped. "You wouldn't dare call me a whore?"

"Well, pretty much all bisexuals are whores."

"Well that's a pretty gross generalization. I thought you were Mister Tolerance?"

"When it comes to you, I can be intolerant if I feel like it."

Dee smiled, sweetly this time, not a smirk. Ryo always did that to him. "Come here, you," he said, leaning down to kiss Ryo on the lips – a soft, gentle kiss that clearly met Ryo's expectations, as his tongue sidled onto Dee's lips, asking for entry. Dee gladly granted it, opening his mouth and tilting his head slightly to gain a better angle.

They broke apart a few seconds later, as the phone rang. Ryo smiled. "That's probably Bikky saying he wants to go to a friend's house. If you let me up, we'll be able to continue this in a couple minutes."

Dee reluctantly relented, shifting his weight and rolling over on the bed so that Ryo could get up. As Dee lay on the bed watching his boyfriend admiringly, Ryo answered the phone.

"Hello?" he said in his soft "stranger" voice. It must not have been Bikky, Dee mused. 'Must be an unknown number," he thought, looking up at the ceiling and continuing to listen.

There was a voice on the other end, but Dee couldn't make out what it was saying, and then Ryo gasped. "What the hell? Who is this?" But there was a dial tone on the other end of the line by then.

Ryo sighed, exasperated, and hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Dee asked, making room for him on the bed.

"Someone who upset me. He said he was "coming for all the people I loved."

"What the fuck?"

"I know. Creepy, right?"

"Totally. Don't worry about it, honey. It was probably just a prank caller."

"I do worry, Dee. I mean, we're cops. Someone could really have a grudge against us." Ryo snuggled into the nook between Dee's shoulder and collarbone.

"Nothing's gonna happen to anyone, Ryo. I promise."

"Yeah. And I know how good your promises are."

"Shut up."

Ryo sighed. "Dee..."

"Just go to sleep, baby. Trust me. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day." Dee glanced over to his dresser, where he had hidden the small wrapped box he was planning to give Ryo at dinner tomorrow.
