GAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (gahhh of happyness) I have my baby back!!!! my laptop, my dear laptop! I'm sorry for not updating for so long, my laptop had a fight with AOL and refused to get online. oh, and go read "I'm Finding My Way Home" I created that story only to make announcments about this one, the least you can do is read it! (and yes, it will be updated still, mostly because i like the name)
"Nothing that you say is going to help." Ryo said as soon as Drake walked in the door. "JJ told me how Dee feels and I already realize that I love him."
"Yeah, but that's not what I'm here about. I'm just here because JJ wanted to talk to Dee and he figured that you could use someone to talk to, even if it has nothing to do with the fight." Drake twisted the facts to comfort his friend. He wasn't as good at dealing with people as JJ was. That was why whenever they went for the good cop/bad cop angel JJ was always the good cop.
"How mad is he?" Ryo had to ask even though he was not sure that he wanted to hear the answer.
"He isn't mad at all right now, just kinda upset. JJ's going to talk to him for a little bit and then we are going to see about taking you in there so that you to can kiss and make up, or out, whichever you like." Drake let out a small laugh and pulled his shirt over his head. He pulled another shirt out of a drawer and put it on. "So, how do I look?" He asked with a laugh.
"Just fine." Ryo cracked a smile.
"JJ picked it out, I think it looks like crap, but he likes it so I'll believe him. Look around my apartment, it looks like the Fab Five paid a visit! JJ's cousin is an interior designer, he says that he didn't do anything other than follow her advice, but I know him better than that. I cant remember the last time that he did something just because someone told him to. Have you ever seen that show? Those guys annoy the hell out of me but JJ loves them so I watch it a lot." 'great, just keep yapping, I'm sure this really helps' he thought to himself.
"Drake, what kind of changes were there after you, you know." Ryo couldn't look at him when he asked.
"When I came out? Not a whole lot. My dad was a little pissed and my mom was disappointed that I wouldn't be giving her any grandchildren, but not much other than that. My sister thought that it was cute, god, you should have been there when she met JJ." Drake couldn't suppress a laugh. "She had to drag him around to show off to her friends. And her little girl, she is only five, she attached herself to his leg and would not let go. It was scary when I first went to tell them, and all of my old friends."
"How did they react?" Ryo was able to watch him now. The pride that Drake showed when he was talking about JJ had captivated him.
"Most of them were cool with it, one made fun of his hair and called him a midget. The next day he came out as well, but only to me. He said that he had been scared to tell anyone before, didn't know how everyone would take it. Two of them were jerks about it, but they were idiots anyway. All of the ones who were married, their wives loved him. Its lucky for me that he isn't bi, with all of these girls chasing after him and all."
They continued to talk about how people had reacted until Ryo was convinced that no one of any importance had hated him for it. They went over the reactions of all of his ex girlfriends, how they felt bad because they thought that it was their "fault" that Drake wasn't interested in girls. Then they met JJ and they decided that Drake was lucky. "I swear, the instant that a girl learns a guy is gay, they fall in love with him! I will never understand it! I am twice as popular with the ladies now!"
"Drake, two times zero is still zero." Ryo let out the first true laugh in years.
"Who asked you anyway? The point is, no one really gives a damn as long as you avoid churches and republican conventions, those are the only places you run into trouble.. If you were just trying to be straight, give it up. I can tell you from experience that it does not work, and if you think it does then you are only lying to yourself. It doesn't matter what people think anyway. One guy gave me a hard time, all I had to do was remind him that harassment is against the law and he shut up. Then again, I also had to remind him that I was a cop, he is a little slow on the uptake."
"Drake," JJ poked his head into the room. "Short conversation in the hall?"
"Sure thing," Drake stood up and left the room, glancing back at Ryo. "I think I know what this is about."
"Dee says that he wants to talk to him," JJ said the moment the door closed.
"That's great!" Drake said, taking JJ's hands in his own. "not great?" he asked when he saw that JJ wasn't rejoicing.
"I don't know how things are going to go. I mean he sounded like he was calmed down, but I don't know. Ryo is already pretty beat up over the whole thing." JJ searched his partner's face to see if he understood what he was trying to say.
"It is now or never, we have to get them together, buddy, cant go on like this forever. I'll go see if Ryo is up to it." Drake went inside for a moment leaving JJ in the hall to wonder what would happen. When he appeared he had Ryo following him
Ryo walked into the living room alone. Drake and JJ had gone into their bedroom and said that they would not come out until told to do so. "so you had better not leave without telling us!" JJ had reminded him.
"Dee," Ryo whispered under his breath. His partner was sitting on the couch, his head held up by his hands and his elbows resting on his knees. His hair was tussled and his clothes were wrinkled as though he had been laying down.
"Randy." Dee said, standing up and trying to fix his clothes as best he could.
"Please, call me Ryo." The chestnut haired mansat down on the couch next to his partner. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for lying to you, for ever doubting your love, but mostly for leaving you in the first place."
"I have every reason in the world to just say 'fuck you' and never talk to you again." Dee's eyes flash a dangerous green. Ryo pulled away some, afraid of Dee's temper. "You just ran out on me, you damn near got married, you played with my heart, the list just goes on and on."
"You have to beleive that if I could take back all of that, i would."
"How many times have i heard that?" Dee lunged at him like a dog on a chain. "Your just lucky that Drake spent so much of his time out here calming me down." Silence overtook the room. They both just looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.
"I know." Ryo finally said. "And if I were you, i would never want to talk to me again. I'm sorry I came by, I'll just be going now." Ryo stood up from the couch and headed toward the door. He had his hand on the doorknob when he heard Dee's voice.
"I can neverforgive you for what you did, but i can give you one more chance."
"Well, how is it going?" JJ asked, poking Drake in the ribs.
"Shh, I cant hear! ...Oh my god!" Drake pulled his head back in the bedroom and closed the door. "Our poor inoccent couch!"
Welp, thats pretty much it for the main story. Sorry that there it eludes to them screwing eachother at the end (and several points along the way) but nothing is written about. I swear that if my writting skills ever improve to the point that i can write lemons, i will get an account on and redo this story!
Anyway, enough ranting. It is my attempt to take up more space so that you wont realize how f-ing short this chapter is! Why wont you be longer?!?!?! Oh, before I forget ONE MORE CHAPTER TO GO (an epilog )
