There were times Dee felt positively envious of Ryo’s sniper rifle.
The way Ryo’s hands moved over the weapon as he broke it down, cleaned and oiled each piece, then reassembled it with the ease of long practice made Dee ache with longing. Feeling those hands caressing his body with the same sure confidence would be a dream come true, but it was never going to happen.
Sometimes, Dee would think he was making progress with his skittish partner only to have Ryo back off again with a panicked expression on his face.
That damn rifle got all the luck.
The End
