WARNINGS: Formal Diana. Calmer J.J. With sprinklings of Lime here and there. The chapter(s) with Lemon will be labeled. This warning applies to the entire story not just this chapter!

AN: This chapter is set after Ryo left Rose's office in the last chapter as opposed to being a continuation of the last chapter. This chapter will end in the same place the last chapter 'Admiral' did, with Drake and J.J. getting ready to leave the ship to see Admiral Jenkins. I hope that with this note you will not be confused! Enjoy!

LEMON-----LEMON

Ryo walked from Rose's office in a daze. He would never have thought that the man could feel so much compassion and love for another person. Ryo stopped looking back at the office door, Rose was even keeping in touch with her. Ryo sighed, he couldn't just stand in the hall all day, besides, he needed to get out of his infirmary issued shirt and drawstring pants and into some real clothes.

Ryo walked to his room slowly, he had to admit that Rose made a point, Dee had broken several rules and regulations and in all honesty the Captain does have every right to call him on it. No matter how ironic. Ryo stopped at his door, pushing the necessary buttons and stepped inside. He quickly made his way to this shower and stripping as he went, was underneath the perfectly tempered water in no time.

Ryo moaned contently, being in his own shower and having the freedom to take his time, was wonderful. He closed his eyes as the pure water struck his head then ran down his face in a warm, smooth sheet. Ryo reached for the soap, still with closed eyes, and began to lather. His fingers ran over his scar and he stopped, slowly opening his eyes and looking down at the wound.

Ryo remembered when he reopened it. He was aiding J.J. at the time, he hadn't even felt the tear. He was too preoccupied with watching the destruction of the 'Stetson'. Ryo's heart constricted with the memory, even though he knew Dee was okay now it still didn't remove the fact that he had grieved for him. Ryo stroked the torn skin, feeling the taunt stitching under his fingers, pressing slightly until it hurt. He remembered he would do that whenever the tears threatened to overtake him while he was in the Sick Ward. He would press and press until the physical pain outweighed the emotional. Ryo had even considered not reenlisting once his time was up...he didn't think he could continue with space business, let alone stay on 'Glorious' without Dee. It would be too painful. He had been pushing back his feelings for Dee ever since the man had made his affections known and the only one Ryo would acknowledge was the desire he felt. It was during his grief that all the other feelings finally could be set free. His body and soul much to weak to keep them buried now. Ryo finally admitted that he was fully in love with Dee and when he had voiced that revelation to Dee it had felt wonderful.

Ryo heard the bell to his door sound. He groaned, but turned off the shower and stepped out. Still in the middle of drying off he heard the door slide open.

" What the!" Ryo wrapped the towel quickly around his waist and turned toward the door abruptly, eyes wide.

Dee smirked openly giving Ryo a once over, " Second Command of 'Glorious' remember," he held up a gold key card, " I can get into anyone's room."

Ryo scowled, " If you had just waited I would have gotten the door," then he narrowed his eyes, " after I was dressed."

" Waste of time," Dee plopped down on Ryo's bed with a grin, careful not to harm his cast.

Ryo went to reply then stopped when he realized that the waste of time would be getting dressed. His chocolate eyes widened at the thought, Dee wanted to see him naked. Ryo decided to respond by making a show of cinching the towel tighter. This brought an amused chuckle from Dee before he leapt from the bed and grabbing Ryo's arm threw him onto it. Ryo barely had time to adjust (his senses as well as the gaping towel) before Dee had descended upon him. Dee was smiling wickedly as he straddled the blond his emerald eyes twinkling mischievously.

Ryo waved his hands in front of his face defensively, " Now Dee, I know that look...just chill okay?"

Dee grabbed Ryo's wrist with his good hand and was pleased when Ryo allowed him to trap both. Then Dee pushed Ryo's arms up and pinned them above his head, " You worry too much," Dee's grin widened, " What could I possibly do to you?"

Ryo rolled his eyes, " That is my point exactly," then he smiled sweetly at Dee, " What about the 'Stetson'? Shouldn't you be going back to your ship?"

Dee shrugged, " Whatever," then he sighed, " Honestly, I was on my way back, but then I thought, how much more trouble could I get in if I stayed longer," Dee's eyes changed then, showing all his emotion, " I missed you baby."

Ryo looked away, a blush creeping onto his cheeks, " I missed you too."

" Besides," Dee leaned forward, pressing his body to Ryo's. His voice was a seductive whisper, " I better get my fun in before I go to jail."

" That's not funny," Ryo admonished, " With the pull Rose has he just might be able to have that done to you."

Dee nuzzled Ryo's neck, " I'm not worried," then he was kissing the spot, licking the throbbing vain at his throat.

Ryo moaned softly, " You should be. That man hates you," as he spoke the words his body arched into the warmth of Dee's.

Dee continued his kissing, " There is nothing I can do about that..." he laved at the flesh and he could feel Ryo's body heat through his tongue.

Ryo sighed gently, deciding that to talk more about this would be in vain. Dee was perfectly ready to accept his fate and although Ryo was uneasy about it, it would be Dee who would face it. So Ryo relaxed into Dee's touch, his body finding comfort in the familiar heat. Dee had came to his room in uniform and Ryo blushed at the open thought that rushed into his mind: he needed to get it off. Ryo was shy about going about it, but still his delicate fingers twitched and he moved his wrist. Dee shook his head telling Ryo silently that he had no intention of releasing his hands.

Ryo blushed deeper before whispering, " I want to touch you," then he boldly lowered his voice and let out a seductive demand, " Dee, let me touch you..."

The sultry tone had the desired effect and Dee quickly let go of Ryo's arms, placing his on right side of the blond's head, resting on his elbow, his broken arm now rested gently on Ryo's chest. Dee stopped the gentle kissing and licking he was still engaged in and lifting his head he studied his lover for a second before capturing his lips in a searing kiss. Ryo was grateful for the kiss, his eyes now closed he didn't have to look Dee in the eye as he undressed him. His long fingered hands reached up and rested on Dee's strong back, massaging once before sliding upward in search of the top's zipper. Once there he slowly began to undo the top, pulling until the zipper was fully opened.

Dee broke the kiss and looking down at Ryo with desire and love filled eyes quirked and eyebrow. When Ryo stated that it wasn't fair that he was the only one nude, Dee smiled, then with the quickness of a panther had the top and bottom off and thrown to the floor, maneuvering his cast and sling like it wasn't a hindrance of any kind.

Ryo gasped when Dee settled himself between his legs. The towel, having never been straightened, didn't provide a barrier for the men and so the result was their hot arousals touching. Dee took advantage of their positions and began an agonizingly slow and pleasurable rocking. The light sheen of sweat associated with a rise in body temperature made sure the friction between the two erections was smooth and electrifying.

Ryo was already panting, his hands gripping Dee's shoulders as if to ground himself. Dee quickened the pace using his toned muscles to rock his hips harder. Ryo bit his lip to keep the moans at bay, shutting his eyes to better concentrate on the pure pleasure Dee was bestowing on his body with this simple act. Dee smiled at Ryo's expression, the look was extremely erotic.

Dee leaned forward, slowly losing control of himself, and whispered into Ryo's ear, " I want you...all of you..."

Ryo opened his eyes, his dark almond eyes taking in the man above him. All of Dee's desire and lust could be seen swimming in the depths of those brilliant verdant eyes. Ryo knows that the same could be seen in his own, he wanted Dee just as strongly. However, other emotions could be seen: love and caring, a deep respect and a fierce protectiveness. Ryo knew in his heart that Dee wouldn't just use his body for sexual release, but Ryo felt relief at being able to see that fact as well.

Ryo reached up taking Dee's face gently between his hands and whispered, " If you want me...have me."

Dee hesitated for a moment, making sure Ryo understood what he was agreeing to. At Ryo's nod Dee smiled, then rising on his hands and knees made to prepare the blond. Dee sighed, not anticipating Ryo's acceptance of this so soon (he thought that their relationship would be a few weeks maybe even a month old before they even talked about becoming intimate) he hadn't thought to bring any sort of lubrication. Dee opened his mouth to explain and to ultimately end the night with a little petting and maybe some oral when Ryo closed his eyes and shook his head. Ryo blushed as he pointed to the lone bed side table. Dee raised his eyebrows and reaching over opened the drawer to find four small bottles of Astroglide, one of which was obviously used. Dee took that one then cleared his throat, indicating that he wanted an explanation.

Ryo sighed loudly then opening his eyes looked up at Dee, " It is better than lotion and I have to stock up whenever I get shore leave," the blush on his face overrode the irritation in his voice.

Dee smiled wickedly at that admission, " My Ryo, you're naughty one," then he winked, "Better stock up on more than four next time. I'm insatiable," Ryo's eyes grew wide, but he didn't reply he merely watched as Dee coated his fingers, " This is only the warm up baby. Don't worry, I will have you soon enough."

Ryo closed his eyes as Dee prepared him, moaning as the skilled fingers worked him. Dee applied gentle pressure to Ryo's inner walls and slowly began a steady rhythm. A second finger was added then another and after the addition of that third finger Ryo couldn't handle anymore. He was panting and rocking against the sweet invasion and finally a breathy plea tumbled from his lips, " Please. Now."

Dee smiled and swiftly removed his fingers and threw Ryo's legs over his shoulders. Looking down at the blonde Dee sighed, overwhelmed, " You are beautiful," then closing his eyes he sheaved himself into the hot tightness. Into pure and utter bliss.

Dee hadn't meant to fall asleep after his time with Ryo, but here he was lazily opening an eye resting his gaze on the slumbering blond next to him. Dee was filled with happiness, he and this wonderful man had just shared a deep physical and emotional bond that could never be severed. Dee yawned then sat up stretching, looking at the clock.. And let out a string of curses. Ryo opened his eyes taking in the sight of a naked Dee jumping from his bed. Ryo turned slightly to get a better look and hissed. His ass stung. Ryo smiled through the slight discomfort, remembering his time spent with Dee.

Dee hadn't lied, he was insatiable. After a brief rest they had slept together again...and again. Ryo's smile widened, he couldn't really blame it all on Dee, after all their last tumble had been instigated by himself.

Dee was looking around for something then finally giving up turned to look at Ryo, "Where the hell is your vidphone!"

" On the desk," Ryo pointed to the small metal desk not more than a foot in front of Dee, " If you are going to use the vidphone may I suggest putting on some clothes first? Pants at least."

Dee scowled, " Whatever!" but he yanked his pants off the floor and put them on anyway.

Sitting at the desk Dee made a call to the 'Stetson', more precisely Commander Reynolds. Dee waited nervously for the call to go through. Dee, not a man to normally care about rules and regulations too much, found that the only person he truly wanted to make proud was Leslie Reynolds. He was the only person who could keep Dee in line, so to speak. Finally the screen came to life and Leslie could be see, even dressed in his pajamas he was impressive.

" Hello, Lieutenant," the older man's voice didn't sound angry so Dee relaxed somewhat, " What has you calling at this hour?"

Dee frowned, " I apologize for not returning to the ship at the designated time. I had no intention of disobeying you and I am ready to accept whatever reprimand or punishment you have put aside for me."

Now it was Leslie's turn to frown, " What?" the word was spat out in an almost childlike manner, then his tone changed and it sounded analytical and proper, " I received a letter today from the Judicial Council stating that you will be returned to your post on 'Glorious', that being your home station, pending an investigation involving Fraternization and Insubordination. The return would be done immediately. I assumed you received the letter when you did not return. I was saddened and confused that you didn't say good bye to us," then his volume dropped and it was menacing, " I didn't know you had left purposely and of your own free will."

Dee chuckled nervously, " It isn't like that, promise."

Leslie smiled, " I know, I am just giving you a hard time. I know you missed everyone there so I expected you would be late. So when I got the letter I actually thought, oh how good for Dee."

Dee laughed, " Yeah, you always had my back."

" I always will," Leslie's smile never faltered, " Now, if that is all, I was sleeping when you called..."

" Yes, yes," Dee touched the screen, " Goodnight."

Leslie nodded then the call was ended. Dee stretched, glad that he hadn't pissed off yet another superior. Dee walked over to Ryo's small fridge and made a face when he couldn't find a bottled water, " Hey, Ryo I'm gonna go snag some waters from the break room. You want anything?"

Ryo yawned, " No thanks. Leave the door open."

" Yeah, sure," Dee went through Ryo's dresser and found a black tee shirt and opening the door left the room.

It didn't take Dee long to grab three waters and two apples and head back to the room. Sitting on the edge of the bed he and Ryo began to eat their late night snack. The door was still open, something Ryo had asked for although Dee didn't really know why. The two men talked, Ryo asking Dee about his time on the Stetson and Dee asking Ryo about Rose. Dee was about to call it a night, curl up in the warm bed beside his Ryo and fall into a restful sleep when he heard the rushing of feet and whispered voices. Ryo heard the sound too and looked toward the door as Dee stood to walk closer. Dee's brow furrowed as he saw J.J. and Drake, in full uniform, jog past Ryo's front door.

" Hey, hey!" Dee called out to the men, " Where are you going at this hour!"

J.J. stopped first grabbing Drake's bicep to gain his attention. Drake turned around annoyed only to have his features change to that of shock. The words tumbled out before he could stop them, " Why the hell aren't you on the 'Stetson'!"

Dee scowled, " Why the hell are you in uniform?"

J.J. shook his head and dragged Drake toward Ryo's room. Once inside Dee shut the door then looked over at the two who were now sheepishly seated on Ryo's bed.

" Okay you two. Speak," Dee had his hand on his hip.

" We have proof!" J.J. blurted out, " We know it was Rose who sold us out!"

" What?" Dee's question was spoken with an irritated and confused air.

" What?" Ryo's question was spoken with in a breathy, relieved tone.

Drake sighed, " A lot of stuff has been going down while you where away and Rose had his hand in a lot..well, all of it," the look on Drake's face told Dee that the 'stuff' wasn't pleasant.

" You found proof?" Ryo hadn't been listening, instead fixing his gaze on J.J.

J.J. nodded, " We are on our way to see the Admiral, give it to her face to face," Drake looked over at J.J. and visibly paled. He was going to try and make it out of here without telling Dee and Ryo, but especially Dee, the whole truth. He knew they could get in trouble for jumping the chain of command and though they haven't done it yet he didn't want to be stopped here.

Dee was shaking his head, " That's a no-go. You are not going to see the Admiral."

" But," J.J. almost pouted.

" No!" Dee's voice was commanding and solid and while it startled Drake and J.J., Ryo felt his loins stir. He turned his head slightly to hide the blush, " You are not going. That is an order!"

" Yes Sir," the response was in unison.

Dee sighed and sitting at the desk spoke to the men on a more personal level, " Listen, I am up for Court Marshal in two days. There will be an open trial in which the Admiral will be there. After the trial you can request to speak with her. Only then will not going through the chain be allowed."

J.J. nodded his understanding while Drake pursed his lips and through his annoyance grunted out an okay. Dee smiled warmly then told them to return to their rooms. Drake was up and out before J.J. had even stood from his place on the couch. J.J. said good night then jogged to catch up to his friend.

" Drake, don't be angry!" J.J. took up the pace of his companion, " We will still be able to talk to her!"

" That's not the point!"

J.J. stopped walking and whispered, " It is better this way. This way is right."

Drake turned on his heels and striding over to his friend looked J.J. square in the eye, "You didn't want to do this tonight anyway, did you?"

J.J. frowned slightly, shaking his head, " No."

Drake nodded, " Yeah," then running his hand through his hair, whispered, " Okay, let's go to bed," he grabbed J.J.'s hand before he had the thought to stop himself and turning began to walk to his room. J.J. looked down at their joined hands smiling, waiting was much better, he told himself, this way neither one of them could be punished and that ensured more time together. Which was something he was beginning to like.

Ryo looked over at Dee who was still seated at the desk. He smiled and said, " You were quite firm with those two..."

" Yeah, well," Dee shrugged then looked up at Ryo, " You think so?"

" Yes," Ryo stood and made his way over to stand in front of Dee, " but it was necessary."

Dee looked up as he began to feel Ryo's fingers in his hair, " I don't think I was that aggressive."

Ryo tilted his head in mock thought, " True, there are times when you are much more aggressive..."

Dee smiled, he could hear the desire rising in Ryo's voice, " Really, what times would that be?"

Ryo looked down then leaning over he whispered against Dee's lips, " Hmm, I can think of a time not too long ago."

Dee closed his eyes with a smirk, " You like it when I take charge don't you."

Ryo chuckled then whispered, " Yes. Yes I do," then the two men where kissing and Ryo knew that he wouldn't be allowed to go back to sleep.

AN: Okay, so this was a lot longer than normal, but I am nearing the end (one or two more chapters depending if I break it up or not). I hope you guys liked it and I hope you will stick with me! You've made it this far might as well see it to the end, no? Thanks a giggles!
