"What're ya doin', if ya don't mind me askin'?" Feeling bored, Dee had invited himself over to Ryo's on their day off, but whatever he'd been expecting to find, it wasn't his partner sitting on the living room floor, surrounded by fabric, scissors, sheets of cardboard, glue, and sundry other craft items.

Ryo glanced up, smiling despite appearing a bit frazzled. "Bikky's decided he wants to dress up as a wizard for Halloween this year. Apparently Carol has gotten a witch's costume and he wants to match. Sort of. Here, can you hold this for me?" He held up a sheet of card, folded into a tube.

Dee took it, gripping the overlapping edges as Ryo wrestled it into a cone shape. "Looks like you're makin' a giant ice cream."

"Wizards wear pointy hats, just like witches do. At least they do according to Bikky."

"He's right, Gandalf had a pointy hat in the Lord of the Rings movies."

"Mm," Ryo murmured vaguely. "Bikky wants to be a wizard out of one of his computer games though. Long cloak and pointy hat, covered in stars and crescent moons, over a tunic and pants, with knee-high boots. He showed me a still from the game, and he'll look really good, if I can just get the damned hat right!"

"The joys of parenthood," Dee teased. "Ever feel like givin' the brat back?"

Pausing, Ryo shook his head. "You already know the answer to that, Dee. Being a dad might be hard at times, but it's rewarding too. He's come so far since I took him in, he's like a different boy, and he's been working so hard at school. He deserves this."

"Then let's make sure he has the best damned wizard costume ever. Just don't tell him I helped ya."
