FAKE Triple Drabble: End Of Shift
Title: End Of Shift
Fandom: FAKE
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Dee, Ryo.
Rating: PG
Setting: After the manga.
Summary: After a day sweltering at work, Dee and Ryo just want to relax somewhere cool.
Written Using: The dw100 prompt ‘Cool’.
Disclaimer: I don’t own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.
A/N: Triple drabble and a half, 350 words.
With temperatures soaring into the low nineties, Ryo and Dee had spent all day roasting, the squad room so much like a sauna that they’d eventually retreated to the firing range where it was a little cooler, although if anyone had walked in and seen the two of them lying on the cold floor tiles it might have been embarrassing.
They couldn’t stay there all day, unfortunately. After half an hour, they’d had to go back upstairs because that was where their computers and the phones were, but a few trips down to the cooler climes of the sub-basement had kept them from collapsing with heat exhaustion.
Now their shift was coming to an end, and the temperatures outside were a little lower than they had been, even if the squad room remained sweltering. Maintenance was promising that they’d have the heat turned off and the air conditioning on by morning, so hopefully their workplace would be less of a torture chamber come tomorrow, at least until the weather turned cold again, but for now…
Dee fetched two more cold bottles of water from the refrigerator, refreshments for the journey home, picked up the jacket he hadn’t needed all day, and waited while Ryo shut down his computer.
“Let’s get outta here.”
“With pleasure.” Ryo accepted one of the water bottles. “Thanks.” For the first time in forever, no one at the precinct had touched the coffee machine all day, surviving on water and sodas. “All I want to do is go home, take a cool shower, and collapse with the fan running.”
“Sounds good. Not lookin’ forward to the commute in between though.” Dee lived further from the precinct than Ryo did.
“Come back to mine tonight,” Ryo suggested. “It’s closer and I’ll let you share my fan.”
Dee nodded, smiling. “That’s an offer I’m not gonna refuse. Maybe we could pick up ice cream on the way.”
“It would melt before we got home.”
“Damn, you’re right.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty in the freezer, and I’ll fix something cold for dinner.”
“I like the way you think.”
