Ch. 8 Scared
((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))
Slowly they make their way into the bedroom before Dee tossed Ryo over to the bed. Curling up Ryo sighed, watching as Dee just stood there. "Dee? You ok?"
Dee, in returned sighed, shaking evil thoughts from his head. "Ryo... can I ask you something..." He voice was shaky and uneven with a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Sensing that, Ryo tensed not sure if the dark haired man was tired or what. Nodding his answer, Dee looked away silent for a moment, "Ryo... do you like me... I mean really like me..."
Silence fluttered about the room as Ryo thought. A single moment later Dee turned around allowing Ryo to see that Dee, the hard, brash, smart-ass Detective, was crying as a few tears slide down his face. With a finally sigh and a run through his hair, Ryo himself felt like crying. "Dee... I... um... I mean... Dee I'm scared."
"Ryo, you don't think I am?" He shot out all to fast and shaky. "I love you. I really do and I've never loved anyone. All these years I've done everything I could to even get a hit of love from one person." Beginning to pace he repeatedly and franticly wiped at the tears in his eyes. "I grew up without love. Mother loved me she had over 45 kids. And with everything I've done... how could she show me love. See but I'm scared. I know 'That's Dee Laytner, he can't be scared.' But I love you and it scares the hell out of me. For the first time in my life I can honestly say that. And... and..." The tears flowed as Dee fell to his knees. He finally said it.
Walking over to Dee, Ryo picked him up, carrying him to the bed. A few minutes passed while Ryo held him, soothing words coming from his lips. Once the crying man calmed down he looked up to see Ryo smiling with tear stains on his cheeks. "Ai shiteru Dee. Ai shiteru." He smiled and kissed Dee's temple.
Laughing at he own stupidity he asked, "What?"
"I love you Dee. Ai shiteru." Then Ryo laughed, "I was as scared of love as you were Dee. Come on. Let's go to bed." Together they striped and climbed into bed, Dee curling up and spooning Ryo. And together they fell asleep without even hearing the thunder becoming louder outside.
((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))
Thunder clashed and lights went out. Another clash and Ryo's eyes opened. Detangling himself from Dee and climbing out of bed he walked straight to the kitchen for a glass of water. Stepping into the living room and not greeted by the soft glow of a light his speed quickened.
The darkness covered the skateboard as Ryo stepped onto it. Sending him sailing across the room and into the kitchen island with a sickening thud, snap and yelp. Awakening from a dead sleep, Dee dashed out the bedroom for Ryo, not noticing the darkness, who was cradling his injured arm and whimpering slightly. Noticing too late Dee tripped over a single video game controlled sending him straight into the floor... face first.
Up within a second and to his fallen lover, "Ryo are you ok?" The words mumbled as blood welling in Dee's mouth.
"Dee! Your mouth." Spitting blood onto the white kitchen tile floor, Dee wiped his mouth running for his keys and a towel. "Dee! My floor!"
Spitting more blood into a towel he laughed pulling the older man to his feet. "Your arm is broken, I'm massively bleeding from the mouth and your worried about the floor." He stopped to spit more of the foul tasting blood into the rag, "Come Ryo, to the hospital we go."
((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))((-))
Some several hours later Dee found himself sitting in a chair next to an empty hospital bed waiting for Ryo to get back from recover. Sighing Dee got back up and into his own bed just as a nurse walked in. "Is he ok?"
"For the tenth time, yes. He is still a little out of it and they're just waiting to make sure the antiseptic didn't do any damage. When I checked just a moment ago they said they're wheeling him up. Now open your mouth." Looking into his mouth and poking around with a Popsicle stick she laughed while throwing it away. "Now tell me again how this happen." She laughed out at he growl, "I have to have this right for the paper work, you understand right."
"Damn it I told you. I heard Ryo scream, woke up, and ran out the bedroom door. I tripped over a controller and fell. Is it that hard to remember?"
"Dee are you being difficult again?"
"Ryo!" Dee leaped for the bedded man before two sets of hands pulling him back into the bed.
"Mr. Laytner. If you don't behavior yourself then we will put you in a different room. "
"Ok, ok. I'm calm. I'll stay in my bed and be a good little hospital boy." Looking over he smiled at the laughing Ryo. Shaking their heads the 4 nurses walked out of the room.
"Dee... you have a lisp. Hehehe."
"Go ahead and giggle like a little school boy. At lest I don't have to were a cast for the next three months. Oh! You should get it pink! Or neon green!"
"Um... how about no. Anyway at lest I'm not the one that had have stitches in his tongue. So there!" Sticking his tongue out to farther make fun of him. "Anyway, it looks like both of us aren't going into work today, or anytime soon, so I'm going to call and tell Drake to call the number on the business card and set up a false drug/hooker pick-up. Then well just have to go from there... Anyway..." yawning he continued, "It's about 4am now so I think I'll go to sleep." Rolling to the side, he smiled as he closed his eyes.
"Hey Ryo I have a idea so we can be together..."
Eyes shooting open he sat up. "Dee the bed is to small and as much as I would like to because... the bed being uncomfortable, weird noises, this damn cast, and other things the bed is just to small."
Walking in for the 8 o'clock room check the nurses was surprised to see that the men were, 1 cuddled up together and 2, they pushed both beds together to form one big bed. Sighing to herself she checked Ryo's IV and continued on her way.
