He slowly opened his eyes and felt the soft breath of his lover touching his skin. He smiled. It was a feeling he'd missed for quite a while now, this feeling of belonging, of being part of something extraordinary. Soft blue eyes opened and smiled when they got a glipse of his own narrow eyes.
"Are you sure?" a voice said. He nodded. He needed to do this. For his own sake...
... for Ryo's safety...
A final kiss and the dream was over. He was back in that room, feeling nauseous with the cheap perfume aroma that intoxicated the air. He looked to his side: he couldn't more his arms much as the bondage work Dorian made was unlike any other. Bastard knew what he was doing. He sighed and tried to relax, thinking about his next move; just a matter of time... and patience.
Drake was not surprised to see Ryo earlier than expected, yet the expression on Ryo's face was of a dead man. He sat in front of Drake, letting a soft moan of pain run through his lips.
"Are you sure you're supposed to be here? I mean, don't you have another week or so?" Drake asked. Ryo shook his head.
"I need to find Gaiev," he said. Drake blinked a couple of times as Ryo continued to talk, "He said he needed to go to his friend's hotel to pick up a couple of things but he never came back, and then when I called the hotel, his friend had already left... and no one has seen him... Drake, I need to find him..." Drake could tell Ryo was making super-human attempts to keep it cool. His voice was drowning in unseen tears and his eyes seemed to have been crying a lot lately. He sighed as he gave Ryo a file.
"I didn't want you to see this, but given the circumstances..." he said, studying every single one of Ryo's expressions, "As I've told you yesterday, Dorian got out... here's the file..."
"Dorian!" Ryo gasped as he flipped through the reports.
"He got a very impressive lawyer, got him out in less than 72 hours... maybe that's a clue or something... we should tell Berkeley about this, I mean, Gaiev was the one who helped bring them down, maybe there's a connection..."
"Maybe!?" Ryo shouted out frantically, standing and almost running to the door. He was stopped by Drake, "We need to move out now!! Gaiev could be dead!! He could be agonizing as we just sit around..."
"Agreed, but move to where exactly, Ryo?"
Good question.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Bikky was less than amused when he opened the door and saw Gaiev there.
"What do you want?" he asked in a very deep voice.
"Can I come in? I need to talk t' you..."
"No. Whatever you have to say you can say it just fine here... what do you want?"
"Fine. It won't take long anyway. I jus' wanted t' tell you that you won't 'ave to worry 'bout Ryo getting 'urt because of me anymore. I'll be leaving town soon... and I wanted you t' give this to Ryo for me..." he said, giving Bikky a sealed envelope that Bikky took and looked at it strangely, "Don't worry, it's not Anthrax or anything like that..."
Bikky's eyes spitted fire to Gaiev, "Is that all?" he asked. Gaiev nodded.
"Thank you..." he said, turning his back and walking away. Bikky took a step out, "Good!" he yelled out loud, "Ryo is better off without you! He might be in love with you because you look like Dee, but guess what? You're nothing like Dee!! NOTHING!!"
"Of course I'm not," Gaiev said silently, "I'm nothing like Dee. 'e must 'ave been a great guy if Ryo was able to love 'im as deeply as 'e did... does... whatever... look, jus' give 'im that, okay? I promise I'll be out of both of your lives by tomorrow morning..."
"I sure hope so," Bikky smiled bitterly.
Gaiev disappeared behind the elevator doors. Then, he was gone before Bikky got the chance to see him out the door.
Carol was surprised to see Gaiev behind the elevator door, "Gaiev!" she gasped and he smiled.
"'iya' Carol!" he greeted with a kiss, "You going 'ome now?"
"Sheaah... You vanished... Ryo's been looking for you like crazy! What are you doing? Why are you doing this to him?"
"I have my reasons, sweet Carol... When are you do?"
"In a moth... but that's not the point!! You're hurting Ryo... he doesn't deserve this from you..."
"I've been getting tha' a lot lately," he sighed, "But don't worry. I'll soon be with Ryo forever and ever... I'm 'eading 'ome right now, as a matter of fact..."
"Gaiev... whatever it is, you know Ryo loves you, don't you?" he asked in a sweet voice. Gaiev smirked and shook his head softly, "No, dearest one," he said in a very serene voice, "'e doesn't love me... 'e loves _the idea_ of me, if that makes any sense..."
"Gaiev, you know that's not true!"
"It is love, it is. Let's stop pretending it's not and face the facts, alright? 'e loves the idea of 'aving 'is former lover back to life... 'e loves the idea of 'aving this... this Dee person back to the realm of the living, even if 'e 'as to call him by a different name, and I think we both deserve something better than that, don't you agree?"
"Are you going to... break-up with him?"
"It's a way to put it, yes... but don't worry... I'll never leave 'is side..." he gave her a soft kiss on the forehead and headed out, getting a cab before Carol could say anything. She immediately took out her cell phone and dialed up the numbers to get Ryo on the other line.
Damn! Don't you just hate it when that pesky little voice on the other end says "We're sorry but the number you're trying to reach is out of order"... god! You almost want to kill that lady who lent her voice so you could hear that message.
She only hoped that by the time she got home, Ryo's cell phone was on-line again. As soon as she walked through the door, she saw Bikky hanging up. "Who was that?" she asked.
"Ryo," Bikky said, "Gaiev was here a couple of minutes ago – I thought he oughta' know..."
Carol smiled and kissed her fiancée.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
Ryo was shocked to hear Drake's voice on the other end of the phone. He'd received Bikky's phone call at the precinct telling him that Gaiev had been there and was now heading home (because according to Bikky that was where Gaiev was headed as well) and now he had to pull over to hear details about the body finding at that hotel... not just any body...
"It's Dorian, Ryo. Somebody went all Jack the ripper on his ass because he's been cut up pretty bad... I feel almost sorry for the guy... almost..."
"Any clues?" Ryo asked, frightened. None. Apparently it had been a hit of some sorts. Ryo didn't buy it: Drake was a lousy liar... Something deep inside told him Gaiev had something to do with this and if he wasn't mistaken, then the question would be what was Gaiev doing with Dorian in that hotel room? Why didn't Gaiev told him Dorian had gotten out the night they met? And all these questions came to a halt when he saw Gaiev, sitting on the front door, smoking a cigarette. The car came to a stop and Ryo almost ran to him, willing to kill him in that same instant if he didn't get a straight answer. He slapped the cigarette out of Gaiev's mouth as he screamed, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"
Gaiev said nothing. He got up and smiled at Ryo. Then, without resistance in Ryo's behalf, he led his lover inside, closing the door shortly after they where both inside. "No fears, luv," Gaiev said softly once inside, looking deeply in to Ryo's eyes, melting Ryo's wrath in a second once his lips touched those of his lover. And it suddenly didn't matter anymore: strange how murder and mystery can be forgotten with a simple kiss, with a touch, with a whisper.
"Wait!" Ryo was out of breath when he separated from Gaiev's lips and realized why he was so upset, "Hold on a minute here! You still haven't answered my question! What the hell is going on with you, Gaiev?! You just go, leave, no note, no phone call, no nothing?!"
"I 'ad t' take care of some business before Micka left," was Gaiev's natural response, twirling his fingers in Ryo's hair, his eyes fixated on Ryo's lips, his eyes darkened with lust for the man standing in front of him, "And now it's all been taken care of...I can stay with you forever, my love..."
"Dorian was found dead in a hotel room, is that the business you refer to?"
"No... bu' thanks for the info," Gaiev laughed softly, "I 'ad to take care of some family papers while Micka was 'ere so 'e could take them back to Moscow and start the transactions from there... I 'ad no idea this 'ad 'appened to dear old Dorian..."
Ryo looked in to Gaiev's eyes. He wanted to believe him but his mind, his heart, his entire insides where screaming he was lying. "I wanted to come 'ome early," Gaiev continued to say, trailing soft kisses around Ryo's neck, "bu' you know 'ow things with Micka are: 'e starts talking like there's no tomorrow and then..."
"Then it's been a day and still I haven't heard from you..." Ryo's voice was bitter. Gaiev smiled sweetly as he cupped Ryo's face, "Why?"
"I wanted to make things right, for you... for both of us... and now they are... as I've said before, now, I'll be with you forever..."
He leaned in for a kiss and Ryo responded to that kiss and without realizing it, he was lead in to the bedroom, where he was carefully placed on top of the bed, kissing and kissing, more and more, feverish passion that wanted to explode at the single most delicate touch that they could possibly master over their bodies. Ryo moaned deliciously as Gaiev started to lick and kiss seductively on his neck, careful not to harm his beloved one, "I want you, Ryo..." he whispered lasciviously in to Ryo's ear, nibbling on it ever so often, "I want to make love to you... I want to stay with you forever... I... ti ochen' nuzhna mne... lyublyu tebya vsem sertsem, vsey dushoyu, Ryo..."
And somehow their lovemaking was sweeter this time, softer, tender; it was intense when they both reached the pinnacle, the edge of existence, crying out each other's name in unison, in rhythm with each other's movements, their souls in complete sync with one another. And it felt like forever was at the reach of their fingertips when stars came down and showered them both in ecstasy. Ryo knew they belonged like that, together, embracing each other and feeling each other's breaths as sleep took over after exhaustion; soft kisses placed on warm, sweaty flesh, kisses that meant everything in every language possible. Eyes that spoke volumes of love in every single sparkle they gave Ryo as a promise of eternal devotion. And Ryo felt complete surrounded by this elixir; he felt entirely whole with Gaiev by his side...
"I want to fly with you..." he whispered to Gaiev, kissing him softly on the lips, "I want to be here, always, and never leave your side..."
Gaiev kissed him back and smiled, "Never, love... this is a promise I'll keep..."
He got up, making Ryo wonder what was going on. He walked over by the window and hunched down to a bag he had on the floor, searching for something – a bit hard under the twilight moon coming down through the curtain. Ryo smiled when he saw Gaiev stand up, but his eyes widened in shock when Gaiev turned around, with a sweet smile on his lips, tender look in his eyes, and a gun on his hand.
"I love you, Ryo" he said before that horrid sound penetrated the air, erasing everything in a split of a second...
... At long last... solace...
