Spending time together was never a problem, since they worked together practically every day. Nevertheless, as much as Dee and Ryo enjoyed being partners, the long days visiting crime scenes, collecting evidence, and tracking down suspects didn't exactly constitute quality time.

That was what their time away from work was for, hanging out together, going on dates, sleeping over at each other's apartment… Certain things still got in the way though, top of that list being Ryo's foster son, Bikky.

The boy had never made any secret about how much he detested Dee, although Ryo suspected their animosity towards each other was mostly because they were too much alike to get along. That and the fact that they both wanted his undivided attention.

Being a dutiful dad, Ryo made sure to spend plenty of time with boy, not just helping with his homework and making sure he brushed his teeth, but taking him on fun outings. Unfortunately, parenthood didn't leave him as much time as he might have liked to spend with his lover, just the two of them enjoying each other's company away from work.

It made what time they did get so much more precious to them both.
