"I am so damn bored."
Dee Laytner just stared at his lover. Although Ryo was in a lot of pain--he had a collapsed lung, for crying out loud--which afforded the blonde a bit of bitching, the man was not the best of patients. First he wouldn't eat the food, and recently bitching about being bored.
Although Dee could empathize: he was going stir crazy as well, and he wasn't bedridden. What he really wanted to do was to take his lover outside, let him get some fresh air and sunshine (and some god damned color into that beautiful face!).
The rain and the wind and the cold had different thoughts, meaning they couldn't go out. "We could go down to the cafeteria and beg for some ice cream? Mint chocolate chip, even..."
Dark eyes lit up. "Oooh... ice cream..."
Dee laughed. "You sounded so much like Bikky there."
"Well, he is my son."
A soft smile crossed Dee's face, and he raised a hand to cup Ryo's pale face. Yeah, he is. You're both stubborn as hell, and I couldn't live without either of you."
Ryo smiled back at his lover, turning his head to nuzzle and kiss the palm on his face.
"And when you're well enough, I'm gonna kick the rugrat out and keep you in bed with me all day," the dark-haired man leered at his lover.
Ryo flushed and smacked at Dee's hand.
Dee snickered as he helped the blonde into a set of maroon scrubs--Ryo hated going out in public in the little paper dress, and the doctor had allowed him in and out of both the room and the outfit. After Ryo was dressed, the dark-haired man helped him into his wheelchair and out to the elevator.
Inside the elevator, the metal doors reflected Dee and Ryo back at the occupants, so Ryo saw when Dee leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. "You know I love you, right?" Dee asked as the elevator slowly lowered them to the ground floor.
"You've told me so every hour since I woke up," Ryo replied. "And I still love hearing it."
"So you won't kill me?" Dee inquired as the doors slid open and he wheeled Ryo out of the elevator and down to the cafeteria.
"Why... What are you up to?"
Dee just smiled and opened the door to the cafeteria.
The entire cafeteria was decorated with orange and black crepe paper and fake cobwebs. A fake skeleton was propped in a chair next to a table where a huge bunch bowl of what looked like orange soda was resting.
And the entire 27th was in the cafeteria, dressed in costume and having their Halloween party at NY East.
"Hey!" JJ cheered, the closest to the door. The sharpshooter was dressed like something out of a Renaissance Faire. "Ryo came as an invalid!"
"How original," Diana replied, dressed in a tight, short black dress and a black witch's hat.
The crowd let out a cheer, which was quickly silenced when an orderly came in and glared sternly at the tipsy party. Ryo looked around at his coworkers, amazed.
Dee smiled down at the blonde. "Happy Halloween, partner. We couldn't party without you."
Ryo laughed, but gave Dee the thank you but you are so sleeping on the couch for not telling me look, and Dee found himself suddenly craving a cigarette.
