First of all pardon the spelling/grammar mistakes because my only concern was to get this story posted. Also, i'm sorry it was so long but i have been swamped with work. My Senior year is crazy. I have this restaurant that i'm head chef of that we run in my school and then i'm taking night courses for culinary while trying to find a job in a culinary field at the same time being the second highest member in my military group. Oh, did i mention I'm the president of the Gay-Straight Alliance at my school and Vice President of the Brighton Alterative Religion Discussion Society. Yeah, and i'm doing all of this so i can join the Navy, for Culinary, when i'm out of high school and not wait a couple months until i'm 18. So if anyone complains that i'm not posting then i would gladly hand over my resonsibilities so i can be lazy again and write. Now please enjoy and review.

A Day Out

"Sorry for interrupting, I see you're home so bye." Just then the door slammed shut and Dee was thrown off, and flew into the couch, with just a flip of Ryo's hips.

"Emily, wait!" Ryo yelled as he lunged for the door. Opening it, he ran after her and grabbed her by the arm a little to tight as she winced in pain. "Oh shit. I'm sorry I didn't mean to grab you like that. Sorry but Emily it wasn't like you think."

"Ryo, hun, don't worry it's ok. Lots of people are gay. Why, hell, my own brother is and—"

"I'm not gay, Emily."

"Well, child, it's still ok if you like to bat on both sides. I have a cousin that's like that."

"No, you don't understand." He clenched his fist as his voice raised. "I'm not gay, I'm not bi. Dee just got the wrong idea. I didn't even know he was gay."

"Not gay. I'm proudly bi." Came a yell from the apartment.

"Whatever but I'm not. And Emily don't worry Dee will be leaving in a minute." Ryo stated calm once again as he gave her his heart warming smile.

"Child, if you don't mind me asking. Did you meet him at school? 'Cuz, if he gonna be comin' over some more then it's my duty to make sure I know him. You ma would love to hear you have a friend." She finished as she brushed right passed Ryo and into the apartment were she was already shaking hand with Dee as Ryo walked in dumbfounded.

"Now, Dee, my child, tell me about your self and why you are still here as the hour of midnight approaches? Your ma must be shook with the worries for you right now."

"Well ma'am, I phoned Mother before I took Ryo home. He had a rough practice. Mother told me it was fine to come home late. I laid Ryo in his bed and took his jacket and shoes off before he woke up and went crazy. Also Mother was ok with it since we will not be attending school tomorrow. By the way ma'am my name is Dee Laytner and I'm 16. I met Ryo at school, he is in 5 of my seven classes and he invited me to watch him at practice because we have a project in photo class were we have to do a picture biography of our partner. I was just getting some idea." Dee finished in his best 'I'm a good boy' voice. Smiling the whole time as he poured on the charm.

"Well there Mister Dee. Seems Ryo made a good friend. Well, well, looky now. It's got to be past midnight. I'm must be going now children. See you tomorrow night youngin'." Standing up and fixing her skirt Ryo walked her to the door.

"By the god in heaven you should join drama cuz you just did the best acting I've seen. Thanks for covering me. I know sensei will have a fun time yelling at me but Kama that guy will finally lay off me." Laughing it off Ryo flopped down in the arm chair.

"Kama…" Dee question, scratching his head.

"It's Japanese. You'll have to understand that Japanese was my first language and every now and then I'll just say random words. Oh it means god by the way."

"Hey dude. You mind if I ask a few questions?" Dee questioned as Ryo just shrugged his shoulder in responds. "Who the hell was that women?"

After sighing and being quite for a moment Ryo went about explaining most of everything surrounding his parentless life in the ever exciting place called America. Contently he left out his parents death, his goody-two-shoes days and the hospital visits.

A moment afterward the olive skin boy sighed, rubbing his eyes and smiling foxishly while glazing at his fair haired friend. "Hey, they let you stay in America, with free money to do as you please. Hell, that's shit lucky!"

Finally Ryo smiled. "It is pretty cool I guess. I mean, America is laid back, completely different from Japan. It's great to live at home and travel to school. For once I have control over my own life."

"Shit, you know, I think that would suck. I mean, who would want to live at school and be bossed around all the time. What kind of life would that be?" He asked lazily as he stretched out onto the couch.

"I guess when you're born and raised one way you really don't look at it the way some people would… but what about you?"

"Well, you know how it goes. No matter what I do I get bossed around by Mother and that is only when she isn't with the other kids. But, hey, why don't we get some food and watch TV. Get your mind off of the whole karate thing and you're crazy Southern nanny." Quickly he stood and walked away wishing and hoping that the conversation would end. Anyone looking closely would have seen his dropping face as the subject of home came into play.

Walking over to the kitchen he open drawer after drawing and was shocked to see no food that looked remotely editable. "Dee, I have an idea lets go out for some food and then see if we can grab a movies at a store." Grabbing Dee's arm he hurried to pull him out the door and was waiting for the elevator when he figured out what Dee was snickering about. Running back into the house Ryo embarrassedly put on a shirt and a different pair of pants. And with that they were off but not before Ryo punches Dee in the arm.

"OUCH! What the hell was that for you!"

"You know you could of told me I still didn't have a shirt on."

"It's not my fault you're a dumb blonde… OUCH! Stop hitting you. Christ, you have a anger problem."

"Baka yaro."

"What you call me you blonde?"

"I only stated the truth…" And back and forth they went until they got they food.
