First of all, a big thank you to Shinigami966890 and animegurl088 who reviewed chapter 1! I LOVE getting reviews! They make me smile!
NOTE: I don't own FAKE or any of its characters and the song at the beginning of this chapter is 'Hide & Seek' by Imogen Heap. Plus this story had shounen ai - boys kissing boys! Don't say I didn't warn you!

Chapter 2 - The Takeover
x Dee's Pov x
Oily marks appear on walls,
Where pleasure moments hung before,
The takeover,
The sweeping insensitivity of this,
Still alive.
I was making coffee when Carol burst through the door, crying hysterically.
"Ryo? Where's Ryo?"
"How are you Carol?" She glared at me. Obviously now was not a good time for sarcasm...
"Where's Ryo. I need to talk to him."
"Why?"
"Because I'm upset."
"Why?"
"Will you stop saying that Dee!"
"Why?" Carol let out a frustrated squeal before stomping off to find Ryo. She returned a few minutes later after realising that he was not in fact, present in the building.
"Dee. Where is Ryo?"
"At work."
"Then why aren't you with him? You're partners aren't you?"
"Long story... I got temporarily suspended for threatening J.J. with a gun."
"DEE!"
"What! He was trying to grope me for Christ's sake!"
"Whatever. But I..." Carol decided not to finish her sentence. Instead she burst into tears and collapsed onto the sofa.
"Um... I wouldn't sit there... Bikky spilt milk on it."
"Bikky?"
"Oh right. You haven't met him. He's been staying with Ryo for a while. He's a lot like you really... except you have your aunt to live with... Bikky's got no-one. Plus Bikky's a rotten little bastard and you're more of a... Is something bothering you?"
"What do you think dumbass?" I blinked. She was right of course. I just never knew she was so assertive. I went and sat down beside her.
"Don't expect me to help or anything... Ryo's the resident guidance councillor around here."
"Oh Dee! I'm just so upset!"
"Go on then. What happened?"
"This boy..."
"Ah."
"What?"
"I know where this is going... I know exactly how you feel..."
"I haven't even explained my problem yet!"
"Sorry, do continue."
"Well... this boy... really nice... sooo good looking... picked up my stuff for me... but then... said I was... too old!"
"Hmm... I see. Well then yeah I kind of do know how you feel. Out of reach right?" Carol nodded. Then without warning, she grabbed my waist and cried into my shirt. I'd never been good with kids. But looking after Carol kind of made me feel that I was good for something. I could help someone else even when my own life was in ruins. I could at least be someone's shoulder to cry on. Even if it wasn't Ryo's.

Reaching my hand out,
Why won't you take it?
Your hands are tied,
Wake up to a new dimension.
Please find me,
I won't stop till you take my hand.

Thank God! Ryo was finally arrived home. Finally I could get this dribbling teenager off of me. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for being nice and everything. But the girl had been crying for like four hours!
"Hey Dee... Carol? Is she O.K?" I shook my head. Carol finally let go of me and ran straight to Ryo. "Right then... O.K. Carol. Let's go get the ice cream." And as they disappeared into Ryo's bedroom; I couldn't help but feel jealous of Carol. She was getting more alone time with Ryo than I'd ever had.
xXx
After what seemed like hours; Carol finally emerged from the bedroom, looking considerably less tearful than when she went in.
"Thanks Ryo! Thanks Dee!" As she closed the door; Ryo collapsed on the sofa beside me.
"You don't wanna sit there."
"Why not?"
"Got milk?"
"Ah crap!" He jumped up as if he'd been electrocuted. "You know we really have to clean this sometime... Oh well... I'll go crash on the bed. You can too if you want... You don't want to sleep on the floor again do you?" I blinked. A lot. Then I realised that was all I was doing.
"Um... yes! I mean NO! No floor... Floor bad... Erm... Crap..."
"Right..." Ryo looked worried before going to get some milk. I went to collapse on the bed. Looking up at the ceiling; I imagined what it would be like to hold Ryo all through the night. To show him things he'd never imagined in his dizziest daydreams. Just as I was imagining, Ryo leaned over me; his face brushing so close to mine that I could smell the scent of his sweat. I inhaled deeply. Ryo's scent seemed to disorientate me, and before I knew what I was doing, I had pulled him towards me, and pressed my lips against his. I didn't know what was happening until I felt Ryo pull on my shirt. But he wasn't trying to get away. I pushed him against the wall - not aggressively; but enough to make our bodies press against each other. But then he pulled away. And shook his head. "I'm sorry Dee... I just can't do this..." And he ran. As the door slammed I fell to my knees. I didn't understand it. I'd finally kissed the love of my life; but I was utterly depressed. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse... Bikky came in.

x Bikky's Pov x
"Fucking hell... who died?"
"Piss off Bikky!"
"Shut up Dee! Don't think you're the only one with problems here!"
"Don't even go there Bikky! I've already had to council one hormonal teenager I'm not doing it again!"
"Who did you council?"
"What?"
"Who was the hormonal teenager?"
"Oh another friend of Ryo's. Carol. I think she might go to your school. You'd probably like her. Tall, blonde, blue eyes etc."
"How old?"
"Erm... not really sure..."
"What year at school?"
"Year 11... why?"
"Shit."
"What?"
"Why was she upset?"
"Bikky what's with all of the questions?"
"I need to know just tell me!"
"Oh some bastard told her she was too old for him... why do you care?"
"Fuck."
"What's going on? Dee? Bikky?" Ryo walked over with a glass of milk and a cup of coffee looking perplexed.
"I'm such an idiot..." How could I have been so stupid? I never meant to hurt her. I went straight into my room and slammed the door. I picked out my loudest and most aggressive CD and turned it up to maximum. At least in the noise... no-one could hear me scream.
