Outside in the dark New York streets, lights and sounds mingle to create one huge but familiar blare of everything but nothing throughout the city. It's night. Darkness overwhelms the looming figures and buildings surrounding the whole area, tucked into dark corners and alleys easily.
Farther down the dusky streets are rugged old buildings, a few shattered windows and dimmed lights seeping through. Shifting but shadowed forms move across the lights and windows, swerving movements and shadows against close figures and solids nearby.
Closed and shouldered is a low but large building. Two tall brown buildings flank it strictly, the buildings desolate and dark from what can be see. With a closer look, the flanked, low building is old itself but not so as the one's beside it. In large block lettering, splashed across the top of the building's surface reads: NYPD. 27th Precinct.
Here is where an array of plot ensues.
/W i t hS o l i dG r o u n d/
I sigh tiredly, running a hand through my hair while finishing up the report. With one more quick script and check mark, I'm finally finished all the reports. Two and a half hours of filling up reports and here I am. I take the reports, organizing them swiftly and stacking them up into one pile. I move to the side of my desk, putting away other scraps of papers and pens into my drawers.
"Are you finished Dee?" Looking up from the drawers, I look over to Dee who looks up from his slight pile of reports still in front of him. Glancing towards the pile, I smile but by the looks of Dee, he knows it isn't a good one. "You should probably uh…speed it up." Dee only snorts in response, rolling his eyes and his lips set into a tight smile.
"Shut up. I'm not like you, mister-I-finish-everything-faster-than-Dee-here-and-that-makes-me-better." A confused expression twists itself onto my face when Dee grunts that, frantically writing his reports up still. Where did Dee get an idea like that though? I never said anything like that about him and anyways, I was just teasing! Sheesh, can't Dee take a joke?
"I was only joking around Dee…"
"Whatever." Dee mumbles this back, and I only shake my head, looking down at him confused still and just…confused. Why is he mad at me? I didn't do anything wrong, I'm tryingto explain here but it doesn't seem as if he'll give me the time of day at this point. He can be such a kid sometimes.
"But De--"
"If you don't mind, I'd rather you stopped talking for a while. Y'know, if you want me to finish up these reports and all, Ryo." Cutting me off abruptly, it only causes me to open my mouth in astonishment. Wee-ll, that was rude. What's Dee got stuck up his ass all of a suddenly? He seemed fine enough a few hours ago, what is it that's making him so grumpy, especially towards me? Fine. If that's how he wants it to be, I'll leave it as that.
"Sorry, Dee," I strictly start to gather up my papers and supplies on the desk, fixing them up properly and making sure the desk was neat, at least my side that is. "I'll leave you alone so you can finish up your work." Sneering faintly, with a measured fury, I slam the desk closed, followed by a rackety sound of clanks and sharp things. That catches Dee's attention and he looks up, green eyes set into a slightglare. Like I care though, just giving him back what he's giving me. I find myself, smiling a tight smile, leaping up from my chair.
"Ryo--"
"No, don't mind me, really Dee. I'll just step out of here and give you some quiet time." I'm still smiling tightly while I say all of this, furious with him but attempting to hold it all back. I wouldn't want him to know how angry I really was. Let him think I'm just irritated or pissed off here, like it matters to him.
I stride towards the door, not paying any attention to the constant glares Dee was sending my way, and the waves off get-back-here-Ryo-before-I-get-pissed-off-at-you-even-more that were radiating off of him. I continue to stride, opening the office door with one hand, the other sweeping off my coat from the hanger.
Oh wait-I don't need this thing, I'm not even going out! Huffing loudly, I shove it back onto the coat hanger, stepping out of the office and shutting the door firmly and noisily behind me. Good. That's what he gets! Ass…
I let out a long, weary breath from my lips, slumped and tired now. I trudge away from the office door, it would ruin the whole thing if Dee were to open it and find me still here, standing at the door. I don't want him to think it was all an act or something like that, because it isn't. This is all real. I stop, midway through the precinct's hallway, just standing here. I run a hasty hand through my chestnut strands, sighing quietly all the while.
"Hey Randy, what's up with you? You're not looking so good." A voice lulls concernedly from ahead of me. I look forward and find a tall woman walking towards me, short black hair tossed across her shoulders. I wave flippantly back at her, nonchalantly.
"Hello Riz. Meh, it's just a Dee thing, you know how it goes." I shrug, straining a shy smile onto my face. Riz laughs out, a light and lilting type of laugh, she adjusts the folder in her arms, nodding and laughing at the same time. I guess it's a funny thing…for other people I suppose, not too funny for me and hopefully not Dee either.
"Not surprised. But don't worry about it Randy, you guys'll kiss and makeup soon enough, no worries there." She smiles understandingly, one hand coming up to pat me on the shoulder comfortingly; I smile a small smile at the gesture.
It's nice to know, someone's concerned about me at least. I don't think I should turn to Dee for that kind of thing, especially right now. He'd probably just ignore me and act like I'm not there, and I'd act the same way if needed.
"That's good to know Riz, makes me a feel a little better. Erm…excluding the kissing part of course…" Smiling nervously, shy hand tangled in the back of my head, Riz laughs at that, small and quiet this time though.
"Of course Randy, excluding the kissing part." She winks playfully, patting my shoulder surely one last time before waving off, arms filled with the folder once again. "Bye Randy, talk to you later!" She calls back to me; I wave back, more than likely her not seeing it though. But by tradition, she should know I've waved bye to her at least. I've done it enough for her to know that, so it's all right.
A little happier now, considering Riz was able to cheer me up just a little bit, I feel better now. Slipping a loose hand into my pant pocket, I lean back leisurely into the wall, nudging closer to it so that I was out of the main stream of the hallway. Just to make sure I wouldn't be blocking people at least, on their way to and fro that is.
A thoughtful smile plays along my lips, my other hand reaching to the back of my neck, and rubbing soothingly but involuntarily. Bad habit I suppose, particularly when I'm thinking or anything close to that in a sense.
I should be used to this by now, this whole Dee getting easily mad and irritated thing. But then again he should be used to me by now too, with me easily getting pissed off with him when he's pissed off. Mainly when he's mad at me for no apparent reason, from normal Dee to Dee baring his teeth. It can get so damn tiring, I swear! You would think that he could at least tell me why he's mad so maybe I can make up for it or something like that?
But nope, nothing, not even one word. But then again, that's something Dee would do, and he does. I guess I shouldn't have gotten as mad as I did, but damnit…its just so--ugh! Calm down Ryo; don't ruin the mood Riz put you in just a little while ago. I'll just…not think about it, and leave it alone for now. By the end of the day we'll be on speaking terms that I'm sure, or at least able to stand each other's company by then.
"Ryo!" A loud, familiar voice calls out to me, slapping me out from my thinking reverie. Shaking my head slightly, I turn to my left to find a lavender haired male sauntering up to me, looking eager. JJ. "Where's Dee, Ryo? I need to talk to him, it's important." Rolling my eyes quickly, I lift myself up from my leant position on the wall. Here I go…
"What for? It can't be that important or you'd be scouring this whole precinct for him then."
"Chief wants to see him--well, Chief wants to see all of us actually, but Dee doesn't know this." Stating this quickly, JJ looks up at me, standing and waiting, obviously for the location of Dee at this point.
"Wouldn't you have to tell me this too?" JJ looks to the side, shrugging his shoulders carelessly and nodding slightly.
"You knn-ooo-ww now anyways, so no reason for me to tell you. It's Dee I'm more worried about here."
"Yeah I can tell…" Muttering this to myself quietly, I play around with my fingers, loose and stray in my pant pockets. It's more than obvious that JJ is more concerned about Dee, but everybody in the precinct knows this. JJ being the lovesick puppy for Dee that he is, he doesn't hide it, and flaunts everywhere, in most cases, when Dee's around.
"Hmm…what did ya say?" By JJ's tone, I could tell he was honestly questioning me because he hadn't heard what I said. Thank goodness for that at least. Shuffling a hand through my hair, a few tendrils fall against my brow but I don't pay them any mind. JJ watches me closely, eyes eager and expectant still.
Sighing softly, I shrug my shoulders…mentally of course. What the hell, why not…right?
"He's in the office--"
"Thanks!" With that, JJ's already speeding off to our office door, eyes bright and body excited, by the looks of it at least.
"--but he's mad…" I mumble this to myself quietly, considering JJ has already barged into the office and I can hear the ecstatic yells of him already.
"JJ! What the fuck! Get of--" Dee's furious barks are livid and loud as ever, even with the door closed halfway. It doesn't stifle it good enough.
I chuckle under my breath, shaking my head and walking off to the board office where the meeting would most likely be.
"Poor Dee.." I laugh fondly, smiling brightly.
"Bah! Hot damn. Let. Go. Of. Me!"
"But De-eee-ee! I want to!" JJ's shrill voice is the last thing I hear before I turn the corner, shaking my head laughingly and strolling into the board office.
"Good ol' JJ, always knows how to make Dee feel better…" I giggle this to myself quietly, under my breath, smiling still.
At least I feel a littlebetter here, even though…Dee might not come out of it happy.
