Ryo knew Dee had had other lovers before him, both girls and guys; he certainly wasn't the first person to share his partner's bed. Dee had a reputation for playing the field, which was at least partly why Ryo had dismissed his advances for so long. He wasn't a one-night stand kind of guy, and he hadn't wanted to end up as just another notch on Dee's bedpost, or worse, another conquest for his partner to brag about.
Not that he'd ever actually heard Dee bragging about past lovers, not in any kind of detail, and definitely not naming names, but still, Ryo couldn't afford to take unnecessary chances, especially not when they worked so closely together. Over time he'd come to accept that Dee wanted more from him than a casual fling, but he'd still been reticent about getting involved with his partner, because of what it would mean.
Dee wasn't Ryo's first lover either, although there were fewer in Ryo's past, and all of them had been women. He'd put a lot of effort into maintaining the illusion that he was straight; giving in to the attraction he felt towards men, and towards Dee in particular, was a big step.
But now he'd done it, said yes instead of pushing Dee away, and while he was still adjusting to his new reality, he also felt more comfortable with his partner than he ever had with a woman.
As for Dee, he was clearly committed to their relationship. The second time they'd slept together he'd said something about never losing Ryo to another man, and that suited Ryo just fine. He didn't give his heart away easily, and he'd never felt about anyone the way he felt about Dee.
If fate was on their side, they'd be together forever.
