There were many things in life Ryo had yet to experience. There were many things in life he would never experience. Such knowledge was not lost on the sandy-haired detective, and he accepted that there were would be events in his life that would take place and events that would never be. Such was life, and he had the foresight to be able to discern what events would mean more to him.
Dee Laytner entering his life with the flair of a cocky bastard and the smile of angel and turning everything all topsy turvy was not something Ryo had ever expected. However, just because it was not something he had ever counted on or planned to happen did not mean he was less grateful for his partner's role in his life. Dee created new things, new idea, and new perceptions for Ryo. New sensations often assaulted Ryo, and they were often due to simple things, like the taste of tobacco on Dee's lips when they were making love with the window open, or enjoying some cold beers and a piping hot pizza on a Thursday night. They were things Ryo enjoyed, looked forward to whenever such moments presented themselves, which only proved to him one simple truth.
There were many things in life Ryo had yet to experience, and he looked forward to each and every one of them, so long as he could share them with Dee.
