Ok, lets try this story again! This time from the true beginning, not the
crap before it! (oh, for those who missed out on this fact, this is my
fourth try at the story. First I wrote it and was too embarrassed to post
it anywhere, then I fixed it and posted it on a different site. After that,
I edited it a little and slapped up on ff.net. still wasn't happy with it.
Finally I decided that I hated it and wanted to write it differently, so I
did! This is the result)
You might want to read Learning to Love, but you don't have to. It is how they get together and you learn a little bit about Ryo's past according to me. You also meet a person with a really tiny part in the manga! A whole one panel!
Timeline- screw the timeline! I don't know what happens after the fourth book so forget about it!

Finding Out,
Chapter one,
Two months after admitting my love to him, Dee had as good as moved into my apartment. Bikky had raised hell about it but Dee had gotten him to stop saying that it clearly made me happy. I didn't say a word.
They rushed around the apartment, trying to clean it up. I had yelled at them for trashing it because Aunt Elena, the one who took me in after my parents died, was planning on visiting that day. She was on a filming expedition in Canada and her group was stopping in Niagara falls for a week. She took two days out of that to visit me because it was not too long of a drive.
As much as I had wanted to see her, I had been worried. I had told her stories about Dee and she was anxious to meet him. I had left out everything about our love, but it might be obvious to her. I had never approached them about the topic. I knew my parent's stance on it from when my friend came out. They did not personally agree with it but they still supported my friendship with him because they knew all of what he had gone through.
She arrived just a little late, pounding on the door and announcing her arrival in her booming voice. Bikky got to the door first and opened it up. She was carrying camera equipment with one arm, her stuff with the other, and somehow also managed to be carrying gifts as well. Her hair was all of her that could be seen between the small gaps of boxes.
"Are you moving in or something?" Dee asked as he stood up from the couch to help her with all of it.
"Yes, actually I am!" She laughed and dove into one of the bags of stuff. After disappearing half way into it, she stood up with a box in her hand. She handed out gifts to everyone. She even had one for Carol, though she was not here at the moment.
With gifts out of the way she began to talk to Dee. The topics were neutral at first, just stuff about his normal life. I was out of the room during the talk but I could hear all of it. My heart stopped when she began questioning his love life. I didn't want her to find out yet.
"Dee!" I called from the other room, I had to get him out of there. "Could you come here for a sec? I need your help."
I knew that I had sounded desperate, maybe it was a good thing. Dee did come and didn't answer Aunt Elena's question. I took him into the bedroom and I sat on the bed that we now shared. "Dee, I love you, remember that." I looked into his deep green eyes, big mistake. His warm smile was more than I could handle. Right then and there I wanted the world to know that I could not live without him. His touch was what kept me going.
Aunt Elena laughed from the other room, Bikky was entertaining her for the moment. It snapped me out of whatever daze I had been in. "I don't want her to know. I don't know how she will react."
I expected Dee to go one about how it was wrong to lie to those that you loved. He was right, but that was not what he did. He sat down next to me and put his arm around me. I leaned oh his shoulder and looked up into his eyes again. "Take as long as you want, love, I don't care who knows or doesn't know, just as long as you are with me." He kissed the top of my head before standing up and helping me up as well.
He walked out of the room and started talking to Aunt Elena again, claiming that he had been helping me with a drawer that had gotten stuck and had required two people to open it. I inwardly thanked him for his quick thinking.
Dee ate dinner with us before leaving for his own apartment for the first time this month. Aunt Elena had clearly liked him and she adored Bikky. That night, after Bikky had headed off to his room, she approached me with a question.
"You know very much that your uncle and I miss you very much. We hardly get to see you anymore. I want you to visit us, and bring the two of them with you if you could. I know that Dee and Rick will get along wonderfully. As for Bikky, I'm sure that he would have fun at the beach and the amusement park. What do you say? Will you stay with us for a week? Rick and I are both going to be home all of next week."
"Really? That would be great! Dee and I are due for a break. I'm sure that the chief would give us time off. I'm not sure if Bikky could make it though. It would mean missing vacation with Carol. She is going somewhere with her grandmother and invited him along." I never stopped to think of what it would mean to take Dee over to Aunt Elena and Uncle Rick's house. I had no idea how they would react if it somehow slipped the I loved Dee. Bikky wouldn't be there to remind him to behave and I was never any good at getting him to. By the time that I had thought of all this, she had already left the next day and it was a little too late.
I asked Dee about it the next night in bed, right before we went to sleep. He assured me that we didn't have to worry about anyone finding out but I wasn't convinced. He always had a tendency to over do things, not knowing when to stop. I love him for it sometimes, but now was not one of those times.
"Stop being a worry wart!" he assured me, sighing deeply for the thousandth time that night, "I'll even let you set the rules!"
I laid on my back and looked up at the ceiling. "Alright, rule number one, you cannot mention anything about our relationship in public. That includes innuendos." Dee nodded and gave me a slight peck on the cheek. "Number two, I want you to lay off, even in privet. If someone should happen to walk in."
"I got it" Dee interrupted. "Make sure that we look like friends at all times, even when we are the only ones there. I am not going to mess this up for you, don't worry." His bold confidence reassured me but I knew that it wasn't true. He would, in some small way, always show his affection. Even if we were just walking down the street, people would look at us. His love was just that obvious.
"Ryo, I know that you are worried, but it isn't as obvious as you think it is. People want to think that two men walking down the street are just friends going out to get a beer or meet up with more friends. You probably think that everyone who sees us together know that we are a couple, even normal people on the streets."
"But Dee, a lot of the people watch us! They know." There were some people looking at us just the other day as we were walking to some place or another. Three girls kept their eyes glued on us the entire time.
"Who wouldn't be watching you. Just take a look at your body for a second and ask yourself that. You are beautiful Ryo, that is what they were looking at. Those girls didn't see two men madly in love with each other, they just saw you. I'd be surprised if they even knew that I was there. Not everyone in the world is going to reject you for this. Out of those who will, very few will ever do it to your face." Dee hugged me close to his warm body, comforting me as I drifted to sleep.
I called Aunt Elena first thing in the morning. I told her that it wouldn't be a problem. She told me that Uncle Rick would be thrilled when he found out but she had to go, they were about to film.
Dee, who was right there with me while I was on the phone, wrapped his arm around me. He tilted my face upwards until I looked into his clear green eyes. He couldn't be wrong, everything would go along just fine.
+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+
Well, how did you like it? Please let me know. Remember to tell the truth now! I enjoy reading things that say "Well, it was good except for." If you do happen to be one of the people who don't think that there is anything wrong with it then at least tell me what you liked most. (like my brother does. Oh, he does willingly read yaoi, and he isn't gay, isn't that cool? For a long time I thought that I would never find a friend who reads yaoi other than internet friends!)
Anyway, review, be honest, what did you like, what didn't you like, you know the drill.
You might want to read Learning to Love, but you don't have to. It is how they get together and you learn a little bit about Ryo's past according to me. You also meet a person with a really tiny part in the manga! A whole one panel!
