Well this is my last chapter! Sorry! It's been fun though hasn't it?
Thanks so much to every lovely person who read my story! (Especially thank you to my loyal reviewers!)
I don't own FAKE coz I'm not that lucky and this story has yaoi in it. For those who don't know what that means it's basically two men getting it on.
Oh, and the starting song is 'Far away' by Nickelback.
Anyways… Last chapter! Enjoy! Miz xXx

Chapter 8 – Won't give up
x Dee's Pov x
On my knees, I'll ask,
Last chance for one last dance,
Coz with you, I'd withstand,
All of hell to hold your hand,
How could that bastard hurt my poor Ryo like that? He deserved to die. No. He deserved worse. As I lay next to him; I couldn't help but cry at the sight of him. He was weak and shaking; his eyes blinking rapidly. But he could not sleep. And he could never forget…
"Dee…"
"Yes my angel."
"Hold me." So I moved over as gently as I could, and cradled him in my arms; his weak body falling onto me. "Never let me go Dee."
"I'll never let you go Ryo."
"That's good. Because I don't know what I'd do if you did…"
"Well then don't. You don't need to. I'll always be here for you."
"I love you Dee." I kissed his forehead and replied:
"I love you too Ryo."
xXx
I'd give it all, I'd give for us,
Give anything but I won't give up.
xXx
x Ryo's Pov x
Thank God for Dee. That was what I thought as his arms wrapped around me in a comforting embrace. I wanted to stay like this forever. In Dee's warm arms Icouldn't feel the pain anymore. I was too much in love. Suddenly I felt something wet on my cheek. Was I crying? No. So…
"Dee? Are you sad?"
"Sorry Ryo… I didn't think you'd noticed."
"You can let go of me if you want…" Dee looked shocked.
"Ryo? Why the hell would I ever want to let go of you? I'm sad because of what bastard did to you… And because I wasn't there to save you. Even though I promised you I always would be. Dee hung his head in shame and continued to cry into my shoulder.
"Dee you can't blame yourself!"
"But if I hadn't been out there smoking like some drug addict I could have saved you!"
"No. This was not your fault."
"Well there are only two things I'm certain of right now."
"What are they?" I asked as I nuzzled his shoulder.
"One. That I love you more than anyone could ever love anyone else." And he kissed my forehead. "And two. That I'm giving up smoking."
"Well I'm glad to hear that." And I snuggled closer to him. "I wanted you to quit ages ago… This is why you should always listen to your Ryo!" I said in a mock-stern voice. Dee pretended to look hurt. "Oh I'm sorry sweetie muffin."
"Sweetie muffin?"
"Not a cute nickname?"
"Well… Maybe when no-one else is around." I kissed my lover gently on the lips. This lasted several minutes; until Bikky came in…
"Gwah! Bikky covered his eyes dramatically. "I'm scarred! I'm traumatised!"
"Oh for God's sake Bikky grow up!" Dee scorned as he slowly climbed off of me.
"Me and Carol are going out for a while… Be back later… Don't be doing anything pervy when we get back!" And he exited the room still covering his eyes.
"Ah… Kids! Now… Where were we?
x Dee's Pov x
The next day I called in sick for work. I couldn't just leave Ryo. And besides; I think if I'd have seen that bastard Rose today he would not have survived all of thirty seconds. Luckily Bikky was in a good mood yesterday – after snogging Carol of course. So I managed to convince him to take the tape with Rose's confession on it to the Chief. That way; it would all be dealt with and Rose would be safely behind bars before Ryo returned to work.
I spent the day looking after Ryo. Feeding him strawberries and cream was my favourite part… Especially when he let me lick the cream off his face…
We sang along to all Ryo's favourite songs and I made him special cookies that always cheered him up. The way to Ryo's heart was definitely through his stomach!
"Hasn't this day been wonderful Dee?"
"Yes baby it has."
"Don't you just wish everyday could be like this?"
"Yeah… But then… Everyday would be the same… I prefer surprises and excitement… As long as it's good of course!"
"Yeah… Well then don't you just wish every day could be as good as this one?"
"Absolutely."
xXx
The day Ryo finally got back to work was actually better than I'd expected. No-one mentioned the rape. No one mentioned the bombings. And most importantly – no-one mentioned Rose.
"Welcome back Ryo!" Said J.J and Drake in unison, arms around each other. I blinked.
"Did I miss something?" I asked J.J. "Coz last time I checked you were running after me!"
"Sorry cowboy but after you and Ryo hitched up I figured I had no chance… And shortly after that I found out Drake liked me! So haha! I'm not gonna be chasing you ever again loverboy!" Part of me was glad; but there would always be a part of me that missed J.J's constant annoyances.
"Hey Dee! Ryo! Get in here!" The chief's booming voice was further proof that everything really was back to normal. "I've got a very special case for you two so sit down." Ryo and I pulled our seats up to the chief's desk. "There's an insane gunman on the loose. He's killed seven people so far. All gay men in their twenties to forties.
"All gay sir?"
"Yes. Part of a gay hate society I think he was…" I answered.
"Where do we find the bastard?"
xXx
"Hey Dee, the lady from your apartment just called. She said it's finished and you can move back in tomorrow. Although Ryo pretended to be happy; I could tell there was intense disappointment behind his smile.
"Oh well… I think you'll have to phone her back with bad news Ryo."
"Why?" Ryo looked confused. He never seemed to get the point!
"Because… Because I don't want to live there anymore. I just want to live… With you." Ryo looked shocked.
"W-w-with me? B-b-but Dee… Where will you sleep?" I looked at him pointedly. "Oh right! I get it… duh."
"Ryo I swear you're the cutest thing on earth!"
"But could you really live with something that cute?" In response I lowered my voice so only Ryo could hear.
"Only if you could live with something this sexy."
"Ah! You think too highly of yourself Dee Laytner! Although you're right of course!" And he pulled me in for a passionate kiss. Accompanied by whooping cheers from all around. This was how it should be. And the only tears in my eyes from now on… Would be tears of joy.
x THE END x
