A New Discovery

"Dee this is so good. I'm truly surprised."

"Oh..."

"Not that it's good but you can cook. You just don't seem like the type of guy that can cook something more then mac and cheese. It's the best. You're going to have to teach me."

"Ok but you do know that I'm a good cook... I just don't cook."

"Well... Ok?"

((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))

Looking out the window he sighed then looked at the clock. "Dee it's still raining. It been raining since two. Since lunch was done... six hours ago. I know it's going to thunder... No more thunder."

"Ryo calm down. Come here." Arms wrapped around the scared man pulling him close relaxing his tense form slightly.

"I know... I'm just scared. I don't like it and I'm not going to be able to sleep."
Letting go he walked over to the bed and laided down patting the space next to him.

"Don't worry I wont feel you up in your sleep." The other man contemplated but quickly crawled over to the man as lighting lit the room. "Come on. Try to sleep." Once again snuggling into the chest and feeling safe Ryo drifted into a peaceful sleep while the thunder sounded quietly outside the window.

Two hours had passed and Dee didn't sleep but watched the chestnut haired man sleep, his chest rising and falling rhythmically with his breathing. A huge clash of thunder and lightning ripped him out of dream world as eyes shot open the sound of steadily beating heart filled his mind. Another hit and the scared man tightened his hold on the black haired man, who winced in pain. "Ryo... it's ok, you're fine. Go back to sleep."

"I can't. I'll go bake something. Do something to make my mind to shut up. I know! I'll bake a cake! And cookies..." he stood walking out the door still mumbling. "Vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal!"

"Ryo? Can I borrow some sleeping pants?" He yelled making sure the other man could hear him. "There in my drawers. Help yourself."

The man lazily opened the top drawer mixing up the otherwise neat clothes. Seeing nothing he began to close the drawer until his head hit something hard. 'Hmmm...' Pushing the clothes aside it revealed a wooded box about the size of half the drawer. 'I wonder what's in here' The box opened easily, surprisingly, revealing many papers and pictures. Indeed he was intrigued.

Picking up a stack he looked throught the many pictures. Some showed many scenic setting of Japan and other placed but none grabbed him but as people fluttered in slowly that's when he smiled. He knew few but still was engrossed. A lot of what he thought was Ryo's parents or an aunt and uncle. All in all after many Dee saw not one of a younger Ryo.

Many pictured later he say who he thought to be the man his heart desired. Looking maybe 17 or 18 leaning against a tree the familiar blonde hair feel into that same face. His button up shirt hung open and his arms crossed his chest with a wry smirk that seemed different but truly he thought it had to be his mind. One thing he didn't notice was a small jagged scar above his left peck, almost to light to see.

After studying the picture for another moment he set all aside and began savaging throught the box once more. Nothing much was left, many papers, and letters, nothing special until his hand came across a VHS tape. 'Wonder what's on this? I shouldn't look at it thought, it's Ryo's not mine.' He began to set it back down but yet again curiosity got the best of him 'Just a moment of it'

Just as the video was set up and ready to play he head a voice calling nearer. "Hey Dee? You get stuck in a drawer or something?"

"Shit, I mean no, I'll be out in a second." He scrambled to throw thing back into the box and with short time pushed it under the bed, left the TV on and grabbed a pair of sleeping bottoms pulling them on and dove into the bed.

"Dee? Ha, you're still in bed? Come on, you can lick the spoon."

"I'll be out in a minute, ok? Then maybe I can lick something more then the spoon."

Wiggling his eyebrows to add to the wry smile that seems permanently plastered to his face.

"Oh Kama..." Turning on his heels he left the bedroom with the same wry smile.

Once sure the man was far away Dee was back at easy. "Man that was close." Picking up the box, pictures moved about. If he would of looked maybe one snap shot might have grabbed his eyes. The picture like the one before the only difference was there were two boys, same age, leaning against the tree side by side. One was less at easy then the other but none the less smiling. The thing that would have shocked the jaded eyed man would have been that both boys looked exactly the same, with the exception of that one little scar.

As it was the box was placed back and all was as before the man walked away not noticing he stepped on the remote and the VCR sounded. The door shut as a picture of a Japanese women came into view then two boys, same as in the picture except many years younger.

"Randy, Kyo, come here time to blow out the candles on your birthday cake." The two boys ran into the picture with wide smiles and matching shirts that stated, 'Today's my twins birthday.'

A small voice was heard and the boy looked cute with his hands on his hips, as he dramatized his voice. "Mom. It's Kevien not Kyo. I want my American name not my real name." Then the other little boy added in with a voice much smaller, "Momma please its Ryo not Randy. I want my Japanese name not my real one."

"Well I guess this BIG cake her that says 'Happy 8th Birthday Randy and Kyo' is for someone else."

In unison they answered, "NO. It's for us! Can we have some please?"

"Come here boys and give your mother a big hug. You to camera man. I think these boys want a hug from their father too."

"Come on daddy. Give me and Kevien a big birthday hug." "Ok kids." And with that the video cut out and no one heard a sound.

((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))

In the kitchen the music was loud but the laughter was louder. "Dee! Come on give me the bowl back so I can wash it."

"No. I told you I'll lick more then the spoon." He used his finger to scope up a finger full and walked over to Ryo, who turned around, ending up face to face with jade eyes. A moment later the finger full of cake batter smeared across Ryo's cheek.

"Dee!" Before he could say another word Dee gently grabbed Ryo's jaw, licking the creamy mess from his cheek. Then explored his captives mouth the favor of vanilla still lingering on his tongue. "The baking is done, the oven is off, all that is left is the dishes right?" The man just nodded his onyx eyes memorized by jade ones. "Let's get some sleep then."

"Ok." He replied weakly as he let the arm draped around his shoulder lead him into his bedroom.
