Chapter One
"Thanks for making dinner tonight, Dee," Ryo said gratefully as he looked lovingly at his thoughtful lover.
"It was my pleasure, Ryo," Dee said softly, smiling. The two had had a pretty rough day, Ryo especially, and the delicious dinner Dee had made really helped to calm their moods and ease their tension.
A particularly heart-wrenching case had come up for both of them. Dee and Ryo were sent out to investigate a homicide of a child on Broadway. They didn’t know how gut-churning the scene would be until they arrived there. They found a young baby, maybe about 6 months old, with a bullet hole through her head. Ryo found the scene especially hard to take, and Dee absolutely understood why. Children held a special place within Ryo’s heart, and any case involving a child was especially grueling for him.
It was the smell at first that had gotten to them. The rancid smell of blood had filled their nostrils as they entered the tiny apartment building. Apparently, the mother had been a teenage girl who had just not been ready to be a mother. Instead of giving her child up to an adoption agency, she had decided to take a gun and shoot her child’s braiut. ut. She had then run, but not without leaving some evidence of her identity. With her carelessness, they had managed to catch her, but the horrible images did not leave either Dee’s or Ryo’s minds. Needless to say, after that ordeal all the two wanted to do was go home and get their minds off of all of it.
"Feeling better?" Dee asked considerately as he began to clean up the dirty dishes. Ryo smiled and nodded a tiny bit. He was so touched that his lover had gone through all of this just to try and make him feel better. ‘Hell, that’s one of the things I love about him. He may appear to be cocky and irrational at times, but when it comes down to it, he’s one of the most considerate people I have ever met. I am so lucky to have him,’ Ryo thought happily to himself.
After the dishes were all cleaned up, Dee walked behind Ryo’s chair and placed his hands on his shoulders. He frowned, noticing the tenseness built up within Ryo’s muscles. "Still bothering you, huh?" he asked, concerned.
Ryo nodded. "I can’t help it. I just can’t seem to get those gruesome images out of my mind," he explained, choking back tears.
Dee wished he could help further. He knew Ryo had a hard time getting things off of his mind, and if something even made its way into his thoughts, he knew it would be there for a while, maybe even weeks on end. He hoped Ryo’s mind would ease within the next couple of days.
Dee wrapped his arms around his lover’s neck. "Come on, go lie on the couch and I’ll give those tense muscles a nice massage," Dee suggested.
"Sounds good, Dee," Ryo smiled and took Dee up on the offer. Getting up, he made his way to the couch, Dee’s arms wrapped tightly around his waist. Kicking off his shoes, he laid down on his stomach, scooting a little to the side, giving Dee some room to work.
At once, Dee’s hands got to work, gently massaging Ryo’s shoulders, with enough strength to know that it felt good and that he was not hurting his Japanese-American lover. Ryo sighed contentedly, feeling his eyes begin to drift close. This felt so good…Dee always knew how to make everything better.
Dee smiled, feeling Ryo’s muscles relax slightly underneath his touch. "Seems I’ve got the magic touch, huh?" he asked, continuing to work on Ryo’s shoulders.
"That you do, sexy," Ryo agreed, enjoying this lovely moment the two were caught in.
A few minutes passed, and to Dee’s pleasure, found that Ryo was not tense at all anymore. He grinned. Finally, he could follow through with his plans for the evening.
Ryo frowned as he felt Dee stop massaging his poor muscles. With a hint of sadness lacing his voice, Ryo asked, "Why’d you stop, Dee?"
"Why don’t we go outside and have some wine? It’s a beautiful night. The stars are out and sparkling brightly…the perfect opportunity for a nice romantic moment," Dee suggested. ‘Also the perfect opportunity to carry through with the plans I had made a while ago,’ he thought to himself.
Ryo thought for a moment, then nodded. "Sure, why not? Sounds like a great idea, Dee."
Going over to the kitchen and opening a cupboard, Dee removed a bottle of wine and two wine glasses and handed them over to Ryo. "Here. Go on outside and wait for me. There’s something I have to do first," Dee explained.
Ryo smiled. "Okay, handsome, but don’t keep me waiting for too long," Ryo winked before heading out towards the balcony.
As soon as Dee knew Ryo was safely outside, he darted to their bedroom and removed something he had bought a few days ago on one of the rare nights when he was off and Ryo had to pull a late shift. He sighed in relief when he found Ryo hadn’t discovered his secret hiding spot. Grinning, he stuck the object in his pocket and headed towards the balcony, where his Ryo was waiting.

"It sure is beautiful tonight," Ryo observed as the two lovers sat on the balcony, sipping at their wine.
"Yes, and being with you makes the night even more special," Dee said, gently gripping Ryo’s hand in his own, grinning madly.
Ryo cocked an eyebrow at Dee. "Dee, I know that look…you’re hiding something, aren’t you?"
Dee found he just couldn’t hide his secret any longer. Standing up, he motioned for Ryo to do so as well. When they were both on their feet, Dee wrapped his arms around Ryo’s waist and pulled him close, their faces within mere inches of each other.
"Ryo MacLean, for the past 2 years you have made me the happiest man in this world. I was almost about to give up on love before you came along. You brightened my dark days, and made my happy days even happier. Just knowing I have you makes all the bad thoughts go away. Baby, you are my reason for living, my light in the storm. Well, I guess what I’m trying to say is…will you be my partner?"
Ryo looked puzzled. "But I already am, Dee."
Dee shook his head as he reacinsiinside his pocket and took out a small box. "I mean, will you be my partner and join me…in holy matrimony?" Dee asked as he opened the box, revealing a gold engagement band.
Ryo gaped, stunned at what had just been asked of him. Dee was proposing to him?
"Dee…I…I’m speechess," Ryo stuttered.
"Ryo, I cannot live without you. You are my life. I would love for you to share your life with me as my husband," Dee said, tears filling his eyes, not caring if they spilled or not. "What do you say?" he asked softly.
"Of course I will, Dee," Ryo whispered, closing the space that kept their lips apart and kissing Dee deeply.
