"Dee can I ask you something" Ryo asked one night over dinner. The house apes (a.k.a. Carol and Bikky) were gone for a week on vacation leaving Ryo and Dee alone for one whole week. Dee looked up from his box of Chines take-out and looked at his partner with inquisitive eyes.

"Shoot." Ryo took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Please wait here for a moment." Ryo stood up and walked out of the room. The sound of drawer opening could be heard and Dee's curiosity grew as Ryo entered the room with a fist full of papers. He took one off the top of the pile and handed it to him. Just as Dee's hand was about to wrap around the thin piece of parchment Ryo pulled it away. "You have to promise that you will not laugh at me because of this." His voice was very serious.

"Of course I won't" Dee said with a little laugh and reached for the paper again this time Ryo let it go and watched Dee's face as he read the letters on the paper. Dee's eyes grew wide as he read.

Dee,

This is the only way that I could think of to tell you my true feelings. I just hope that this doesn't end up like so many other letters that I have written to you... unsent. For the longest time I have lived knowing what you feel for me and deep in my heart I harbored the same for you. I was always taught that to love another man in a sexual manner was wrong and unmoral but I couldn't help it.

Where do I start, how about at the beginning that seems to be the best place to start everything? The first day I met you I was rather astounded with your straight forward and in-your-face attitude. Something about you drew mw in and after we were partnered we became fast friends but for some reason I feared that we would become more than that. So I fought it

The day that you were kidnapped I knew that I couldn't fight it anymore, especial when it was you that I was most worried about. When you kissed me my mind became fuzzy and I drifted to a world that was all my own. The only problem I had with that kiss was that I knew it would be ten times harder to fight it, fight the urge I had for you and the feelings that I secretly harbored.

In England I found that the urges that I had were getting stronger and harder to hold back. When you pounced on me I didn't push, when you kissed me I kissed back. Those things never felt wrong at the time. Once I realized what I was doing I pushed you away, I made you think that I was not enjoying it but in reality it was exactly what I wanted and in a way it was everything and more.

You were always there to protect me even when it wasn't a crazy Japanese murder that was after me. Somehow you knew that I was uncomfortable when I was around Berkeley Rose and you made sure that he didn't do anything to me if you could help it. You and he seemed so alike with your brazen attitudes but the truth of the matter was that you were much... much kinder.

The only time that I have ever truly shown you my feelings was the day that you were almost killed in that bombing at Bikky's school. You don't know nor do I think you could understand just how helpless I felt when you told me that you were not coming out and I was not to go in. It felt like time had stopped. I had to take shit from JJ because I wouldn't let him enter the building. Once I had found you in the mess I threw myself at you and forcibly kissed you. (Not that you minded I'm sure.) That was probably the first time I had ever told you my true feelings. I do care for you Dee even if I turn you away at times.

You have been there for me when I needed you the most. When I met Leo in the parking garage that night it was you who pulled me away from becoming a murderer. And although I had told you to take me that night you did not. You knew that it was something that I would later regret and thus knocked some sense into me.

I know that there are times that you felt that the only thing I was good for was leading you on, making you believe that I was only playing with you and I could understand why you would think that but deep down I really was in love with you. I still love you to this day Dee and I know that it is pathetic that the only way that I could find to tell you this was in a letter but please accept it for what it is. If I hadn't written this I would never have had the courage to tell you this. I Love You.

Ryo

There were a few places on the parchment that it looked as if there had once been tears. Dee was almost moved to tears by this act of love he probably would have cried if it had not been for his ego, which was larger than his head could handle at times. He looked up and smiled at his partner.

"You say this like I didn't already know." He laughed as he stood up and walked over to Ryo placing two strong hands on his shoulders. "I know how you feel Ryo, I've known for a little while at least and I think it is a good thing." He pulled Ryo into a tight embrace. "I love you not just your body but your personality as well. Randy Ryo Maclean I love you. And with that he gave Ryo a passionate kiss that proved his love. He was quite pleased when Ryo returned with just as much fore. Sure Ryo had kissed Dee back before but never to this extent. Dee made up his mind quickly and decided that he liked this Ryo the best.
