Deeper Into Hell

~**~**~**~**~**~

Ryo watched his son disappear down the hall, feeling a little better about things since their talk. Now all he had to do was find Dee and hopefully clear things up with him before they could get worse. Reaching for the phone and then his address book to make a few phone calls, Ryo�s plans were interrupted when someone began knocking at his door.

Thinking, or rather hoping, that it was Dee, Ryo jumped to his feet and quickly rushed toward the door, immediately regretting the sudden move when a wave of nausea began to sweep over him. Fighting through it, Ryo threw open the door and mentally prepared himself for a barrage of cuss words and insults he knew he would be met with.

�Dee I....�

�Sorry to disappoint, Ryo.�

�A-Alex...?� Confused at first, Ryo wasn�t sure what to say or to think until his head cleared and he managed to put a reason to �why� his friend was there. �Dee contacted John, didn�t he? Is he at the bar?�

�Yeah, Dee is down at the bar. John called me earlier to tell me.� Alex frowned when he noticed how pale Ryo appeared as he stepped into the apartment after his friend stepped aside. He knew the signs of a migraine all too well. John suffered from them too and Alex knew just how painful and incapacitating they could be.

�Thank God.� Ryo breathed a sigh of relief. �Just give me a second so I can leave a note for Bikky, just in case he would wake up and wonder where I am. I�ll go right down there to get Dee and hopefully he and I can get this all settled.� Ryo started heading toward the computer desk but the room began to spin and he reached for the first thing he could, which was Alex.

�Uh Ryo, I mean no offense here but I think you need to sit down and do it now.� The auburn haired man kept a firm grip on his friend as he started leading Ryo toward the couch. �Is it a migraine?� Ryo nodded slowly, causing Alex to frown even more. �Then sit down now!�

�I-I... I can�t, Alex. I need to go talk to Dee and I need to do it now.� Despite his declaration, Ryo did sit down though. He really didn�t have a choice at the moment. His head was throbbing just too badly to remain standing, plus Alex�s grip on him was preventing Ryo from doing anything else.

�Listen, John called me earlier and said that you should wait until he calls you before you go down there. From what I gather, Dee is really pissed off and he�s drinking like a fish at the moment.� Alex knew it would only raise Ryo�s concerns about his lover but Alex wasn�t about to lie to his friend either. �Considering what I know so far, I doubt Dee would speak with you right now, so give John some time to calm Dee down first, Okay?�

�I�m well aware of the fact that he�s angry and that anger is directed at me, Alex. He�s angry because I didn�t tell him everything about Mother Lane�s assault. I really need to talk to him before... Before it gets even worse.� Ryo sat back and nervously ran his fingers through his hair.

�I understand Ryo. I know you want to explain to Dee why you didn�t tell him, after all you owe him that much, but right now I seriously doubt that he would listen to anything you say.� Alex sat down next to the chestnut haired man after seeing how frantic his friend was. �John has known Dee long enough to see that he is not up to rationally discussing anything at the moment. If you go down there now, with the way Dee is, it may only make things worse. As hard as it is, you have to be patient and wait for John to call.� Ryo nodded as he sat there with his eyes closed.

�If you want, I�ll stay here with you until John calls and then we can go down there together, okay?�

�Thanks, Alex.� Ryo spoke softly. �I should have told him. Dee had every right to know the truth and yet I kept it from him.� Putting his fingers to his temples, Ryo began to rub them, hoping to squelch some of the pain. �I knew I was taking a risk by not telling him. I knew that yet I still did it! God I am such a baka!�

Alex couldn�t help but laugh, which had Ryo cracking open an eye to glare at him. �I�m sorry, Ryo. I know it�s not polite to laugh and all, especially right now, but I may have to learn some basic Japanese just to keep up with you.�

�Sorry about that. I don�t realize I do it at times.� Ryo blushed and found himself smiling a little. Anyway, baka means idiot, jerk, stupid or foolish.... Along those lines.�

�Would you look at that? He can actually smile folks.� Alex joked and then laughed when Ryo glared at him again. �Hey I was only trying to cheer you up. Give me a break will ya? I do have a good excuse if I failed. I worked at the bar until five, did the grocery shopping and then cleaned the apartment, so I�m half dead right now.�

�Sounds like my schedule most of the time.� Ryo nodded. �Thanks, Alex. I do appreciate it the effort.� Ryo closed his eyes and winced as another wave of pain shot through his head.

�No, your schedule is a lot worse than mine is.� Alex began but stopped when he noticed the look on Ryo�s face. �Did you take anything for it?� It was obvious to Alex that Ryo was in a great deal of pain. What amazed him the most was the fact that his friend was still able to function, despite being hit with what appeared to be a full-blown migraine.

�Yeah, I took something earlier.� Ryo sighed. He felt exhausted and beaten but until he cleared things up with Dee he couldn�t even think about resting just yet.

�Over the counter or prescription?� Alex asked. When Ryo didn�t answer, the auburn haired man frowned. �OTCs won�t do squat and you know it! You�re like John, he takes the OTCs first and then waits until he�s in terrible pain before breaking down and taking the good stuff. Where are your pills? I�ll get them for you.�

�I-I can�t take them yet, Alex. I need my head clear right now and those things make me groggy.� Ryo explained and opened his eyes. �I�m just worried that this could... With Dee and I....� Ryo couldn�t finish. He didn�t want to think about what this whole thing could do to his relationship with Dee.

�Ryo, don�t you even think it!� Alex quickly put an arm around his friend�s shoulders. �You and Dee love each other too much to allow something like this to tear you two apart. I don�t want to hear any of that crap, you hear?�

�I don�t want to think such things but....� Ryo looked at Alex, sadly. �Alex, I�m scared... I don�t want to lose Dee but when it comes to things concerning Mother Lane, his emotions go haywire.�

�You won�t, Ryo. Dee loves you way too much.� Alex could see that Ryo was trying not to cry but he knew it was most likely just what his friend needed to do. He had a feeling that since Mother Lane�s death, Ryo had been so busy worrying about Dee that he never got the chance to fully feel the loss himself. �Ryo, go on and cry if you need to. For all you know, it may do you a world of good.�

Alex�s words seemed to go straight to Ryo�s heart. �T-Thanks....� Ryo wasn�t sure when he started crying exactly, only that he was and the comfort Alex offered was just what he needed at the moment. It was the first time since Mother Lane�s funeral that Ryo had actually allowed himself some time to mourn her passing and as selfish as it seemed, he finally realized that he needed the comfort just as much as Dee did.

~**~**~**~**~**~

Ryo and Alex walked into the bar and as Alex walked over to his partner, Ryo�s eyes caught sight of Dee, who was seated down at the far end of the bar. Taking a deep breath, Ryo looked over at his friends as he worked up the nerve to go down and confront his lover, unsure about the reception he would receive.

�I should warn you, he�s pretty well plastered Ryo.� John remarked.

�I figured as much. Thanks for everything, John.� Ryo acknowledged the slightly younger gentleman.

�It�s no problem, Ryo. I did cut him off but he doesn�t look as though he�s in any rush to leave anytime soon.� Leaning forward onto the bar, John lowered his voice. �He�s been sucking the beers down as fast as I served them to him and I didn�t want to refuse him because I was worried that he would just go somewhere else, you know?�

�I�m glad that you did what you had to then.� Ryo�s gaze went to Dee, who was hunched over his beer and looking so lost. �Is his tab paid up?� When John nodded Ryo headed down the bar and stopped beside the dark brown haired man.

�You checking up on me or something?� Dee kept his eyes on the golden liquid in his glass.

�Not at all. I just thought you might like a ride home that�s all.� Ryo went to lay a hand on Dee�s arm only to have his lover yank it away.

�Don�t touch me! I�m a big boy, Ryo. I think I am capable of walking home without you being my taxi service.� Dee looked up and glared at the bartender, who pushed a beer Ryo�s way, figuring his friend could use one. �I assume this old fart ratted me out?�

�I only called my partner, ass-wipe! Besides, I�m the same age as you and if I�m an old fart then so are you!� John shot back and looked at Alex who couldn�t help but giggle at the way the two were talking.

�Shut up!� Dee growled at the two, who stood behind the bar.

�Dee, Alex called me after John called him. They were both worried about you that�s all.� Ryo sighed as he took a sip of the beer John had given him and was surprised at how smooth it seemed to go down. �Why don�t we finish these and then go home, alright?�

�I don�t want to!� Dee snapped and then glared at Ryo. �I�ll go home when I damn well feel like it! You are NOT my boss!�

�Dee, I know that. I also know that you�re still upset and that you�re hurting, but this isn�t the way to deal with it. Let�s just go home and we can talk or you can go to bed and then maybe in the morning you�ll feel well enough to discuss this.�

�Fuck you! I trusted you, dammit!� Dee went to stand up but the room started spinning and he had to sit down again. �You had no right withholding that information from me. How could you do that?�

�Dee....� Ryo closed his eyes as he tried to keep his own emotions under control. It was hard enough dealing with Dee when he was in angry mode as it were, but drunk and angry was even worse.

�You should have told me! I�m your frigging lover for crying out loud!� Once again Dee tried to stand and this time succeeded, but just barely. �You not only kept that information from me but you also suckered the guys �and� the doctors into keeping it from me as well. What the fuck, you even convinced Father Cardenas to keep it from me! You even got �my� priest to lie for you as well!� Green eyes flared with anger the more Dee talked.

�Dee, I�m sorry about that. You were so distraught and all that I didn�t want to hurt you any more than you already were. Even after the fact there just never seemed to be a good time to tell you. Hell, I could barely get you to talk to me as it were.� Ryo reached out to steady his lover when Dee began to sway but the younger man smacked his hand away.

�I already told you not to touch me! Don�t you dare touch me!� Dee hissed. �She was �my� mother, you bastard! I had a right to know what had happened to her! I had a right to know before most of New York found out via the news! You son-of-a-bitch!�

�You�re right, you did have that right and I am sorry for not telling you. It was a mistake on my part and I am sorry about it but it�s not like I can go back in time and change things.� Ryo was determined to hold his ground. He wasn�t about to be intimidated by Dee�s anger. �Let�s just go home and we�ll talk more, okay? I�ll even ask Bikky to go over to Rai�s or Cal�s for the night so that we can have some privacy.� Looking around the quaint bar that was decorated with antique signs and household items, Ryo noticed that the few patrons left, were beginning to stare at them and it was making him feel uncomfortable.

�What�s the matter? You afraid that the people here will know just what sort of an asshole you really are? Is that why you want us to go home so badly?� Dee stretched out his arms and laughed. �God forbid if Mister Do-Good is discovered to be a real jerk and his rep is tarnished! It�s just like you! Hell look how long it took for you to finally admit that you were gay? Look how long I had to wait until I was allowed to put my arm around you or touch you in public? You�re a frigging coward, who doesn�t have any damn balls! Well grow some, Ryo! Grow them before you make someone else suffer the way you�re making me! You backstabbing hypocrite!�

�Dee! That�s enough!� Dark eyes flared and Ryo found himself clenching his fists at his sides. �You�re drunk so I will do my best not to get pissed off but I won�t just stand here and listen to your bullshit either! If you choose to continue insulting me then I will fight back! I�ll show you just what sort of balls I really do have! Got that?� Ryo hissed through clenched teeth as he fought against the urge to strike out against his lover. �It�s best that we take this home and leave others out of our problems. This is none of their concern after all.� Ryo once again reached for Dee but his lover just pushed his hand away.

�Go to hell! I have no intention of going home with you! Like I�d want to sleep with a bastard who deceives me? You�re out of your fucking mind!� Dee staggered backwards and almost fell but managed to steady himself at the last moment. �If you want to fight, then I�ll be happy to oblige because you deserve to have the shit knocked out of you for how you handled this!�

�Dee, please....� Hoping to calm his lover and keep things from escalating, Ryo tried to touch Dee�s arm as a way to convey his feeling. Dee of course was having none of it and instead tried to take a swing at Ryo. Thankfully, in his drunken state, Dee�s movements were sluggish and Ryo was able to easily duck the punch.

�Fuck you! I ain�t going anywhere with you!� Dee�s words slurred as he spoke and he staggered backwards a few steps before he stopped and simply stood there, swaying on his feet. �You go home! Better yet, why don�t you stop at the adult store first and buy yourself a frigging dildo then you can go home and go fuck yourself!�

Ryo had had enough. �Fine! If you want to act like a child then so be it but I refuse to stand here and allow you to insult me any further!� Ryo knew that arguing with Dee while his lover was in his current condition was pointless and the best thing to do was to just walk away. He had to let Dee simmer down and he had to allow himself time to do the same. �I�m going home so you�re free to do whatever you want! I�m willing to talk about this, but not if all you want to do is egg me into a fight. I refuse to step that low!�

�You�ve all ready stepped that low!� Dee hissed and then smirked when he saw Ryo turn to leave. �Oh yeah... Don�t let the door hit you on the way out!�

Ryo stopped and looked back at Dee. �I am sorry about all of this Dee and I do love you, whether you want to believe me or not.�

�Up yours!� Dee shouted and then headed off to the men�s room but not before he shot Ryo the finger over his shoulder as he was walking away.

Ryo stood there for a moment, stunned by Dee�s outburst even though he had half expected it. He just didn�t expect it to get this bad though.

�So much for talking....�

�Hey Ryo, Alex and I will keep an eye on him so don�t worry, okay?� John tried to reassure Ryo while holding onto Alex, who had been ready to jump over the bar and come to Ryo�s aid after Dee took a swing at his friend. �We�ve got an extra room available upstairs, so Alex and I will convince Dee to stay here for the night. It�s nothing fancy but it should do.�

�Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.� Ryo gave them both a sad look. Until Dee calmed down, there was very little he could do for his lover.

�If this breaks us up then I have no one to blame but myself. I should have told Dee everything but I didn�t... This is all my fault now.�

�I�m sure that by morning, once Dee has sobered up and all, he�ll come to his senses and see just what a jerk he was.� John then looked at Alex, who had finally calmed down enough for him to release his lover. �You gonna behave now or do I need to tie you to a chair?�

�I�ll behave just as long as Dee doesn�t lay a finger on Ryo. I�m not about to stand here while that hot head busts up our bar and hurts my friend! If you have a problem with that then tough shit!� Alex glared at John before he turned to look at Ryo. �Ryo, if you need someone to talk to just give John or I a call, alright? You know that if we�re either here or at the apartment, so don�t hesitate to call us.�

�Thanks Alex but I�ve already imposed on you enough as it was. I don�t want you two at odds with each other either.� Glancing back toward the restrooms, Ryo appeared almost afraid of Dee coming out and starting something again.

�Relax Ryo.� Alex walked over to the chestnut haired man and put an arm around his shoulders. �Knowing that baboon and how many beers Dee�s had, he�ll be in there for awhile.� Alex watched as Ryo smiled a little. �I know this is hard to take and I wish like hell that Dee could see how much you�re hurting too but try to hang in there, alright?�

�I know and I�ll try, but I can�t stop blaming myself for the pain he�s going through right now. I fucked up, Alex. I should have told Dee so that he could deal with it all at once and I didn�t do that. I didn�t think about the consequences and I should have.�

�Ryo, just give it time, alright?� John spoke up. �I grew up with Dee and I�ve seen him go off the deep end many times but he always manages to bounce back. He just needs to get it all out of his system first.�

�I just hope that he �is� able to bounce back from this, John. I�ve seen him upset before as well, but never like this. And he�s never gotten this angry with me.� Ryo could sense that he was close to losing it and knew that he had to leave before he did. �Just do me a favor and watch over him for me, because right now he won�t allow me to.� Ryo glanced one more time at the hallway leading to the bathrooms before he rushed out of the bar and into the cool night air.

Hurrying to his car, Ryo realized that for the first time since he and Dee had moved in together that he would be spending the night alone because of something other than shift schedules.

It was only after he made it to the safety of the apartment and his bedroom did Ryo finally allow himself to break down and cry.

�I love him so much yet I have done the unthinkable... I have hurt the very one I vowed to never hurt. If Dee would decide to leave me, I have no right to stop him.�
