Weekly Challenge #10 – Separations
Title: New Beginnings
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG?
Disclaimer: I don't own FAKE -- that's Ms. Matoh – although if I did I'd make it into an anime series.
Spoilers: Well none really – Dee and Ryo are an old married couple.
Warnings: Kissing.
Characters/Pairings: Dee/Ryo – of course!
Notes: I'm new to FAKE but not to fan fiction writing. It's been 2 years since I've written any. Life got rough and now I'm trying to bounce back. Hope everyone likes it.
"Dee I don't think I can do this."
"You have to. You know you want to."
Ryo released a frustrated breath. "We'll be apart."
"Not all the time."
"You're really okay with this?"
"Yes. I'm proud of you, baby."
"All right, I'll do it." Ryo drew Dee close. "I'd better not hear any stories coming out of Bronx Station about you causing trouble."
"You won't," Dee grinned at him.
"I hope the chief enjoys retirement."
"He will," Dee said. "He deserves it." Dee planted a loving kiss on Ryo's throat. "And you deserve what's coming to you. Congrats – Captain MacLean."
