Dee sat in the waiting room of the nearest hospital as surgery on Ryo was
being performed at the fastest speed possible. He covered his face with a
slight sob. Ryo took the bullet that was intended for Dee by Rose,
delivered straight into his chest. Dee could hear the hot determined piece
of lead whizzing through the air and making its target Ryo's chest, easily
piercing through the skin and making that its resting place.
Dee's mouth nearly dropped to the floor and his eyes were like saucers as the impact of the bullet flew his fragile body straight back into him. Dee was so fixated on Ryo's quivering body that he forgot all about the bastard that shot him. In a sheer panic, he called out Ryo's name, making sure that he heard him, and that his eyes stayed open.
Ryo's eyes remained open, but barely. Half lidded. Blood dribbled down from the corner of his mouth in a single stream.
Dee wanted to strangle Rose to the point of his death right now. He didn't give a damn what would happen to him. He was already out of a job, so what did it matter? He had it all planned out in 0.1 seconds, but by the time he yanked his head around to the door, Rose was gone.
Right now, that was the least of Dee's worries. Both hands were covered over his face as his leg shook uncontrollably, sitting in the chair. Thankfully no one was in the room with him at the time. The hospital was a busy one that night, with a new patient coming in every half hour or so.
Checking his watch, Dee mentally counted the hours he's been there. This would be going on the third and still no sign of anyone. He had seen various couples come and go out of the waiting room, a teenager that stopped and talked to him, while his friend went in to get checked on from being wounded in a gang fight. He was there for a good hour or so, then left with his friend, and Dee would be all alone once more. The waiting was killing him. He hated it. He wanted his beloved Ryo right back into his arms where he belonged. But then again, it was still all too confusing for him. Did Ryo do this because he loved and wanted to protect him? Or did he do it because it was a natural instinct? Dee didn't want to go and make any assumptions, so he had to wait and hope for the best.
As if things couldn't get any worse, Dee's ears flinched when they heard the cursed voice of Bikky just around the corner. He had an itch to run and hide, and hope the puke left, but it didn't look like that was going to happen. He groaned when he came around into the waiting room with Carol.
Dee looked away, so he wouldn't see Bikky and Carol walking in his direction, but silence fell for a large moment or two. Bikky stepped up and looked downwards at Dee, twisting his face in disgust. Now that Bikky was older, he just didn't annoy Dee anymore; he became his worst enemy instead. They fought any moment they could, and this time wasn't the right time.
"Ryo took the bullet for you, didn't he?" he asked, teeth tightly clenched, still hating Dee's guts after all this time.
"Get out of here," Dee murmured, going back to his previous position with his face in his hands. "Take Cal and just leave."
Bikky had to contain himself from doing anything rash. Unlike most of the kids his age, his conscience was able to flash the consequences in front of his eyes before he struck. In a microsecond, he was able to come to his senses and realize that this was a hospital and he could get into large amounts of trouble for starting something with Dee. It wouldn't be the first time. Now that Bikky had grown extensively over the past few years, he also looked it as well. Spending most of his time working out, he was pretty well built for his age, and put it to good use with beating Dee into a pulp every time Ryo cried over something he did.
His last couple attacks were rather interesting. Although he never managed to give Dee anything more than a few black eyes, that attack was everything to him. He hated Dee's peppiness, and thinking he was the big boss man.
The events that night with Rose made him even angrier.
"What have I told you before, Dee? Go on, pull it from that cluttered long term memory in your pint-sized head!"
Dee sighed. The stressors around him could do without Bikky in the way. Ever since he'd gotten older, the bigger of an annoyance he was.
"I don't have any time for your mind games!" he said loudly, yanking his head up and staring back into the boy's narrowed eyes. "I didn't ask for him to do it and I'm not about to sit here and listen to your stupid accusations! You want someone to bitch at, go to Rose!"
Bikky fumed deeply in the face. Carol saw this and put her arm in front of him to protect Dee, and anything else that would get destroyed if the two went head on in a little meaningless battle. If something happened to Ryo, Bikky surely wouldn't hesitate to blank out and destroy Dee in a matter of seconds.
"If Ryo makes it out of this, I don't want you seeing him again. You hear me, Dee?" he asked, teeth still tightly clenched, and thankful that Carol was holding him back. Bikky tried keeping his head on his shoulders, but being strictly truthful at the same time.
"Who the hell are you to suggest that?!" Dee asked, raising his voice louder than before. "If you'd open your eyes and look at something, other than the fact that I'm always the bad one, you'd see that Ryo did this because he cared about me! You just don't want to admit the fact that he cares about me!"
"He did it because he wanted to be away from you!" Bikky spat harshly, feeling his emotions kick in. He hated to think that his Ryo would throw his life away for a deadbeat like Dee. He didn't want to think Ryo would have feelings for him.
A smirk slowly crept up on Dee's face. He didn't know why Ryo did what he did, whether it was instinct or intentional, he loved bringing Bikky to the emotional stage. He knew Bikky had that side to him, something most males didn't have, but after being with Ryo for a long period of time, it grew on him.
"Can't deal with the simple facts, can you?" Dee tormented, face twisting in a harsh glee. "Ryo, not being able to stand me? That's such a lie. He wants me. He wants me so bad, that he even wanted to sleep with Rose and think it was me giving him the mind blowing pleasures. He couldn't wait for me to get back, so he used his beautiful body to make up for lost time."
"Bikky!" Carol gasped, covering his tightly clenched and trembling fist, knowing exactly where it was going to be going.
"You just keep talking! Go ahead! See how far it gets you!" Bikky yelled, getting the attention of a couple nearby nurses. Coming up to the doorway, they told him to keep quiet.
In not paying any attention to anything, except for the rage on his mind, he grasped the collar to Dee's shirt and pulled him to a standing position. Normally it wouldn't be this easy, but Dee wanted to play along with any stupid idea Bikky had up his sleeve this time.
After a few more loud words being exchanged, and the smirk on Dee's face not changing and adding a mega plus to Bikky's outraged anger, a white- knuckled fist made its destination the beautiful face of Dee, surely to leave a mark.
Dee was thrown back into the seat by the punch to his left eye, and Bikky was asked to leave the hospital until another day. Nothing further was said about the situation and Dee was able to resume his worrying for Ryo. He hated the façade he had to put on to make Bikky reached his anger limits, but it was the only thing he could do to get him out of his sight.
"For whatever reason you did it Ryo, I hope it won't take you away from me..."
Dee's mouth nearly dropped to the floor and his eyes were like saucers as the impact of the bullet flew his fragile body straight back into him.
