Geez, I don't even know these characters outside of your fics, and I'm really starting to like them a lot!

Dee doesn't even have a proper birthday to celebrate, nobody knows when he was born because he was found abandoned in an alley, so he celebrates his finding day instead. He just hasn't told Ryo about that yet.
In a sense, Ryo has ended up taking in two orphans - Bikky AND Dee, giving them both a family.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked this. These boys regularly melt my heart =)

Wow. :-/ The poor guy. I imagine that will probably bring them closer together when Ryo does find out; he'll probably want to make up for all those lost years.
They just seem so sweet at times like this; I wish I'd known about this sooner! :)

The link is saying that it's not available; I don't think I'll be able to read it.

The series Fake has been licensed, it is not available in Manga Fox.
Now, I once read the last issues of InuYasha and the first few of Death Note on some site similar to this, and had no problems. I wish I could remember which site it was, because that was in 2008.

I don't have copies of the scanlations of the manga, because I've got the books. I'll have to look around and see what I can find, but not right now as once again it's gone midnight and I need to get to bed. I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow.

I'm gonna hunt around and see if I can find any other sites like that; maybe I'll find one that has it.
Found it! :D I found it on another site, and I've got it saved for later.

There are 7 main volumes, several FAKE Extra things, FAKE 2nd, Like, Like, Love, and then the VERY graphically adult indeed Back Stage Pass stories, but only the first two have been translated. I've got scans of everything but the first seven volumes downloaded on my computer so if you have difficulty finding any of those I can email them. Some f the artwork on the later ones is incomplete, which is had. They got published that way because Sanami Matoh was having health problems and couldn't get done by publication date.
One of the reasons I love FAKE so much is that these guys are cops working cases, it's not just about their growing relationship, that's only a part of the story. There are some really emotional scenes.

Bikky and Dee never really get along, I think they're too alike, but they'd die for each other nevertheless. The expressions in the artwork make me giggle, especially grumpy Ryo. Heee!

Bikky and Dee are Ed and Roy Mustang all over again! :D The same hostility and ego, with some grudging respect beneath it all. And I forgot how cute manga drawings can be when a character's pissed off! :D (Also, it was weird having to get used to reading right-to-left again after so many years, lol.)
My only issue with it is that it's actually illegal to smoke in public in New York (I only know this because of a short-lived sitcom Whoopi Goldberg had that took place there, and every time her character was shown smoking, she would send a check to the city to cover the fine, presumably so New Yorkers wouldn't feel encouraged to break the law), so Dee's constantly breaking the law anytime he's smoking on the street.

Volume 3, Ryo at the top of page 34, I SO badly want an icon of that image. I just don't know how to make icons *sigh*
I hadn't thought of the similarities between Ed and Roy's relationship and Bikky and Dee's, but there are definite similarities - although Roy is less childish than Dee can be. Sometimes it's like Ryo's stuck with two kids.
Yeah, the whole orphanage storyline was heart-rending. Dee just flipped, if it hadn't been for Ryo he would have thrown his career away. Mother would have been devastated because she's so proud of Dee.
