Pairing : Dee x Ryo x Berkeley

Disclaimer : I don't own FAKE

## DEE ##

Berkeley and I have been stalking Ryo from school with no intentions to let him know of our existence. Ryo just look so pale and lifeless. Afraid he will collapse in the middle of the street with no one to take care of him. He's a very tough guy I can see who can always manage to take care of himself but not for this time when he keep denying that he is sick.

It's been a few blocks after he went into a pharmacy and we came into a silent street and the phenomena was chilly. "This place looks dead, man. How can he live in such a spooky place." I muttered while scrutinizing the area.

"Beats me." Berkeley hug himself tighter to warm up. "This place is a bit remote and not much people pass by here. A suitable place for scum."

"Hey, he's walking into the building. Let's go before we lost his sight." We hurried our steps and begin to climb the stairs while keeping our eyes and ears open. It's a bit quite dark inside the building and we need to be very careful while climbing not to miss any steps. I was walking ahead of Berkeley, when Ryo stops from his track to lean on the rail. I stop abruptly and step a few steps back when Berkeley bump on my back and before he can manage to make a sound, I cup his mouth and push him back to the wall while holding my breath. Hoping Ryo doesn't find out that we are trailing him. After for a moment, the steps is resume. I let out a sigh when Berkeley started to push away from me and I let him go.

"What's the idea of you to stop suddenly and pin me on the wall." Berkeley try to control his voice and anger.

"If you haven't been following me so damn close to my back or we will be find out right there and then. Now shut up and let's continue already or we going to lose him for God sake know where is his living place."

6th floor. Dim lighted corridor. Ryo was fumbling over his pocket for his key. Swaying a little when suddenly his hand trying to hold onto something in the air and started to collapse. Before I can think of anything, I already found myself full of Ryo in my arms. He is breathing heavily. My heart is pounding fast and panting slightly.

"That was a fast reflex action of yours." Berkeley said hoarsely gasping for his breath. Reaching into Ryo's pocket and pulling out a pile of keys and started to unlocked the door into the apartment. "Earth to Dee." He slap on the back of my head with his hand. "Let's get him inside before we are freezing to death here." Pushing the door wide open and searching for switch to light up the apartment.

My thought came back when Berkeley slap on my head and finding myself still holding Ryo and was outside the apartment freezing out here. I tilted my head over to Berkeley finding him open the door wide. I look back on now uncouncious Ryo. Not waiting for any longer, I carry Ryo and step inside the apartment as Berkeley lock the door at my back. I was disturbed to find how light Ryo felt. Obviously there's only one bedroom since the other door was slightly open enough to reveal it's a bathroom. As I head to the door, Berkeley walk past over me to unbolt the bedroom door ready for me to go in. Berkeley pull away the blanket sheet as I lay Ryo on his bed and take off his shoes before I pull back the blanket to cover him. The full bright moon light the room a little through the window and shone softly on Ryo's sleeping face. I sat at the edge of the bed. Sleeping, the man looked pale, fragile, and very beautiful. I couldn't help brushing the soft, honey coloured hair from Ryo's forehead. I rest my hand on his shoulder. He's trembling. I pull back my hand abruptly when his body started to roll over to his side and curled up himself. I can't help it anymore than to let him suffering alone. I stand up, kicking off my shoes and pull the blanket away enough for me to squeeze myself inside the bed and lay beside Ryo. Pull back the blanket over us, I pressed my body over his body and wrapped an arm around him protectively and his head under my chin. Trying to keep him warm but he's still shivering. He snuggled closer to me. His breathing is a little laboured and I can feel it on my chest. I smiled. Feeling his breath and the physical contact… and the light scent of strawberry of his hair.

At last 6th floor. Few more climbs and I will going to blow this whole fucking building up. Not even a lift is available here. When we turn at the corner of the corridor and before I can catch my breath, Dee suddenly like a speed of light run towards in front of him. After taking a few deep breaths, I jog to Dee wondering what has happened. There, Dee is holding onto Ryo body that is unconscious now. I saw Dee is slightly panting and looking shocked.

"That was a fast reflex action of yours." I said hoarsely gasping for my breath while reaching into Ryo's pocket for keys and unlocked the door. After I have unbolted the door, I turned back to Dee who is still shocked and I slap his head. "Earth to Dee" I glared at him. "Let's get him inside before we are freezing to death here." Open the door wide and searching for a switch light while Dee carrying the limp body inside the apartment and I locked it. Inside the apartment feels cold and lifeless. So empty. The conditions are so poor. Doesn't looks like a home to me. I walk passed Dee and unbolted the door to his room. A swift glance inside the room with the help of moon light and I can says that the conditions is a little bit better than the hall. At least it does look like a bedroom. I pulled the blanket away and let Dee lay Ryo on his bed, pulled off his shoes and tugged him inside the blanket once more.

I walk to the window to take a view. The street looks creepy to me as the sun just set down not long ago. I shivered a little. When I turn back, Dee is already on the bed beside Ryo and pulled him closely. He is smiling. I was taken aback a little. It has been for a long time since I ever saw his warm smile again. Subconsciously, I smiled.

"Berkeley…" Dee look at me worriedly, whispering. "he's still shivering."

I walked to the bed, spectacle on the nightstand and crawled inside next to Ryo's back. Arms wrapped around Ryo's waist. The shivering started to cease. It seemed that Ryo was already drifting back to sleep. We said nothing but just relax and enjoy the peace and warmth with Ryo in our embracement.

"You know what, I think I am greatly in love with this guy." Dee broke the silence.

"I can see that." We stared at each other. "And so do I."

"I'm not going to give up." He sweared.

"Neither me." Paused.

"Since when have we ever been sleep in the same bed?"

"Why?" I asked.

He sigh. "I missed the old time when we was having lots of fun together. That's was before my family and I shift to Australia."

"Yeah, you're right. Back then, we were always stay and live at each other houses and sharing everythings together while the bonds between our parents are unbreakable. They even declared that you may as well be one of my parent foster son and I am one of your family foster son. Never thought we are gonna be brothers." I laughed silently remembering the past.

"Everything was so great until when I came back from Australia after 2 years time and found you become such an annoying bastard playboy." He glared.

"Hey, it's not my fault." I protested. "I couldn't find any friend who can understand me better than… you."

Dee slightly blush. "But you acting cool to me when we met after 2 years time. I thought you don't like me as your friend and your partner anymore." He confessed.

"I can't help it. 2 years time. It bacame my habit. It's the only way for me to entertain myself… and in the same time healing my emptiness after you've gone… I'm sorry." I looked away.

"Sorry…" Silent whispered.

"Huh?" I look back on him.

"Sorry for mistaken you…" His voice a little husky.

"It's ok. Not your fault entirely. Let's get some sleep. We gonna need to take care of Ryo." I slip out one of my hands and brush aside the bang from Dee's eyes and place back where it was should be just now.

He smiled. "Stupid for us to fight like a cat and a dog for almost a year now, isn't it?" Stifling for a laugh.

I smiled. "Yeah, we have been so stubborn. Too arrogant to voice out our feeling to each other."

Ryo stirred slightly. "I wonder if Ryo do ever accept us." Dee voiced out. "Or is he a straight guy…?"

I lift my eyebrow. "Do you just said us ?" I grinned but Dee has already slumber.
