Catch and Release #1
"When were you going to tell me about this?" Dee asked sadly, as he walked into the living room carrying a piece of paper Ryo thought he had disposed of.
"Preferably never," Ryo replied setting his book down.
"It's an amazing offer, why would you just throw it away?"
"Because it wouldn't be fair for me to tear you and Bikky from our home just so I can play FBI Agent in L.A." Ryo let out a frustrated sigh and turned away from the taller man.
"It isn't fair for us to hold your career back either." Dee passed the letter to Ryo before sitting on couch as well.
"I…" Ryo started before Dee cut him off.
"Do you really want to try this?"
"Yes," Ryo answered, ashamed that he wanted something so badly that would displace his family.
"Then we will give it a shot." Dee smiled softly and kissed his partner's cheek.
"Are you sure?" Ryo asked, still hesitant about the large step he was about to take.
"Would I have dug the damned thing out of the trash if I wasn't sure?"
"How did you know it was in the trash?" Ryo questioned. Digging through the trash for no reason was just creepy.
"I know everything," the other detective smirked. "Now am I going to get some loving for having to move to a new state and root for the L.A Lakers?" Dee scrunched up his face at the thought of cheering for any other team but the Nicks.
"I guess so," Ryo replied mischievously. Ryo took that taller man into his arms and gave him an affectionate kiss. "Thank you"
"Welcome," Dee replied as he leaned down for another kiss. No more words were needed.
