A stream of harsh-sounding Japanese explicatives exploded from the kitchen, causing Dee to start from his nap on the couch. The man called out to his partner, but got no response but the sound of running water.

When he peeked into the kitchen he found Ryo with his forearm under the cold running water. On the stove, a pan of hot oil bubbled dangerously around browned meat, charring the meal.

Dee switched off the eye and moved the pan before going to touch Ryo gently on the shoulder.

"I got stupid and added too much oil," the blonde explained, glaring at the red mark forming on his skin.

Silently, Dee raised the arm to kiss it gently before wrapping a cold towel around it. "Feel better?"

Ryo could only nod in response.
