Dee nearly stumbled backwards. "W-What? Ryo?!"
"I'm tired of being everyone's center of attention, Dee, especially Rose's. I want to be able to walk into a workplace without being stared at with such passion or even stared at at all! Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Dee straightened himself up. "Ryo, you don't have to take that! You don't have to take any of that! Rosie should be the one going down! What's wrong with you?! Are you blind?! There is something you can do!"
Ryo sighed and shook his head. "I don't want to create any problems. I just want to be in a place where I can go, get my work done, and leave. That's all. Nothing more."
Dee felt his jaw clench. His body grew hot with anger and frustration. "You better take all that back, Ryo! I didn't get fired today over a lost cause! Are you listening to me?!"
Ryo had his back turned the whole time and his head lowered. He tried not to think about his confusion. One minute, he was sticking up for Dee, then the next second, he doesn't want anything to happen to Berkeley. He slapped a hand over his face.
"All I can say Dee...is that I never asked for you to step in. It was your choice and I really don't want to have to hear you complain about it."
Dee's fists clenched. "Well forgive me for caring! I thought I knew you, Ryo! You know, maybe next time I'll let the asshole go all the way and just leave you standing there against the wall, whimpering like a baby! Oh no, wait, excuse me, I forgot whom I was talking to. You'd like it! Sure, you'll like what HE does to you, but you can't stand being around me!"
Ryo spun to him. "That's not true, Dee!"
"Or you just think that maybe just because he makes more money than I do, that mean's I'm outta here?"
Ryo frowned, half angry, half confused. "Where did money come in all of a sudden? Dee, I told you that I'm not gay! You never listen; you just keep forcing yourself upon me without even consulting me first!"
"Do I have to ask every single time I want a simple peck on the mouth?!" he countered. "You've never pushed back, Ryo, so don't pin all this blame on me! The only reason I haven't been able to go all the way is because that idiot Bikky always comes in, every single time it starts getting good!"
Ryo pointed a finger at him. "That's exactly what I mean! If Bikky didn't come in, who knows what monstrous acts you'd be performing on me! Did you even ask me if I wanted them?! Did you even care about my feelings, or are you always thinking about yourself?!"
"Ryo..." Dee began in a growl.
"At least with Rose, he'd listen to me, he'd accept my feelings!"
Dee's face loosened, but still stayed more on the angry side. "Are you telling me you actually wanted to kiss that creep?! Is something going on between you two, or was it just a setup, so I would hit him and get fired? You want me out of your life that bad?!"
This had been dragging on for so long now that Ryo didn't even know what they were arguing about anymore. First it was of Ryo quitting, then it went to him being fired. It was just all mixed up, confusing him even more.
"Dee..." he started out soft, calm and collective. "It's none of your business who I love, or who matters most to me, because you don't fit in either of those categories. You're just my colleague. I never want you to step in for me again, or even...talk to me."
His eyes fell to the floor as he sighed. Tears came to his eyes with no trouble. A large pause occurred between them. Dee's mouth went salty and soon discovered he had a hard time swallowing. The person he had cared about more than life itself was showing no hesitation in throwing him out the door in one simple sentence.
Dee studied his former partner's face. His hands trembled.
"You really mean that?" came his hurt and broken voice. "After all those times I've tried to make you happy, you're just throwing me out like yesterday's trash?"
Ryo swallowed hard and nodded. "Sorry Dee."
The next thing Ryo knew, his back was cemented to the wall and his lips were being savagely abused by Dee's. His eyes were sprung open the whole time Dee's relentless lips continued their assault. He never returned the favor. All he could do was stand perfectly still.
Dee's perfect mouth nipped at his collarbone next, then went around to his neck.
"I don't take no for an answer," Dee replied huskily, biting Ryo's neck and making tiny love bites. Ryo winced and reached one hand up into Dee's hair, grasping it and trying to relieve the painful sensations. He tilted his neck involuntarily to give him better access. Dee smiled at this and sucked lovingly on the tiny bites, raveling the taste of him.
Ryo went weak at the knees at the physical contact he was receiving on the most sensitive part of his body.
His lips parted and a small moan escaped them.
"This is wrong," he whispered, eyes closed.
"It's not wrong when two people want it," Dee contradicted, then claimed his lips again.
Ryo's gave a small cry as his eyes clenched tightly and responded lightly to Dee's harsh kisses.
As good as this felt, Ryo couldn't do it. He couldn't give Dee the time of day like Dee had wished.
Gathering up all his inner strength and courage, he clamped both hands to Dee's shoulders and pushed him back, panting.
"No, Dee! What don't you understand about that word?!"
Dee shot off probably the most evil of any look he had given off in the past. His fist shook, desperate to become impacted with some form of object, or Ryo's face for that matter. He was tired of getting lead on and then getting blamed at for it. It took a great deal to calm himself down before he did end up regretting striking something.
Ryo had been too busy protecting himself to take any notice that Dee was on the verge of screaming and punching a hole in the wall.
Without even thinking, Dee took a flying leap at Ryo and slammed him into the wall, crashing their mouths together so hard that their teeth could have broke. Ryo yelled out muffled incoherent pleas into Dee's mouth as both of Dee's hands were free to roam his body harshly. He was tired of being played with. Dee knew what he wanted and he wanted it now. No more Mr. Nice Guy.
"Dee, what are you doing?!" Ryo managed to cry as he moved his head. It wasn't long before his head was yanked back to its previous position and falling right back into Dee's unwelcoming grasp.
Ryo never stopped trying to push him away. Dee was angry for what Rose did to him, but Dee was just bouncing the same situation back on him. Where did Dee gather the right to violate Ryo?
Ryo yelped when Dee's hand wandered down to his member, grasping it anything but softly. The pain caused all his strength and courage to build up and shoved Dee as hard as he could, yelling for him to stop. The eyes he had looked into for that fraction of a second didn't belong to any friend of his. Those eyes were more of a cold-blooded killer, out for the sheer joy of listening to others begging for their lives and taking no mercy.
Ryo quickly regretted taking any sort of action when the left side of his head felt like it had caved in. White spots built up, blocking his vision as he snapped his neck to the right hand side. The impact was so forceful that all he could hear was Dee's voice yelling. He couldn't make out the words clearly. His body felt more and more heavy and before he knew it, he was on the ground with his head up against the wall.
"Are you listening to me?!" Dee hollered, yanking up the man by his shirt collar. Their noses just barely touched. "You think you're too good for me, is that it?! I bet you feel real special pulling this shit on me, don't you Ryo?! Go back to Rose, see what I care! Be his whore. It's the only thing you're good for! You better be out of here when I get back!"
He released Ryo, only to scoff as he slid back down to the floor, eyes fluttering. Dee collected his jacket and stormed out of his apartment, slamming the door behind him.
"I'm tired of being everyone's center of attention, Dee, especially Rose's. I want to be able to walk into a workplace without being stared at with such passion or even stared at at all! Do you understand what I'm saying?"
