The FAKE Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of FAKE drabbles to go with my Torchwood drabble collection. They'll probably be mainly Dee/Ryo and I've rated the collection T to cover anything I might write. If you've read any of my Torchwood drabbles, you'll know I live for variety and anything goes, though my writing is primarily on the fluffy side.

"Halloween's only a couple weeks away. What'cha gonna dress up as this year?" Dee asked, perching on the edge of Ryo's desk.

Ryo shook his head. "We've been so busy with work I haven't even thought about it."

"Seriously?"

"Now Bikky's all grown up, it just seems less important. He didn't even want to go Trick or Treating last year. Went to a party with Carol instead."

"That why ya volunteered to work last Halloween?"

"It was either that or stay home by myself, handing out candy."

"You could'a come and helped me wrangle Mother's kids."

"I didn't want to intrude."

"You're crazy! I would'a welcomed an extra pair of hands, not to mention some adult company. The little monsters ran me ragged last year. Okay, it's settled, this time you're comin' with. There's nineteen kids this year, no way I can manage 'em all, not when most are aged between three and ten. Please?"

"Fine, I'll help."

"Good, but that means you'll need a costume, so get thinkin'. You'll be lucky if there's anything halfway decent left to rent or buy."

"What're you going as?"

"Pirate." Dee grinned. "There's a reason it's a classic."

"You just want to wave a plastic sword around."

"Why not?"

"Just be careful; you don't want some rookie cop shooting you, thinking it's the real thing."

"No chance of that, I'm not idiot enough to get somethin' realistic. Bought it at the dollar store. I could pick up one for you, then we could both be pirates."

"No, it's fine. I'll think of something."

Halloween night arrived, and Ryo showed up on Dee's doorstep, already in costume.

"What d'you think?"

"Whoa, you look hot!" Dee was practically drooling as he took in the sight of his lover, dressed as a nineteen-twenties gangster, in a sharp suit, trilby with a white hatband, white tie, and carrying a fake Tommy gun.

"Well, I figured since you were going as a pirate we might as well both be criminals," Ryo said with a grin.

"Damn! Might just haveta arrest ya later for bein' gorgeous without a licence."
