Happy Birthday to me!
Starbucks armchair and mocha, here I come. Then a special lunch. So far I have nothing planned for the late afternoon/evening except perhaps resting, since Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be challenging days at work.
I got my hair streaked on Saturday and man, does it ever look awesome. I have gone from a medium dark brown to a dark honey blonde ( Read more... )

"I was invited, monkey brat!" Dee said. He'd had to agree to work a double on Sunday just to be here, since Ryo had managed to forget he was working tonight. Normally, Ryo knew Dee's schedule better than he did. Dee had badgered Ted into covering his shift rather than turn down Ryo's unusual invite.
Bikky opened the door and bellowed, "Ryo, I'm starving! What's for dinner?"
They found Ryo in the kitchen looking strangely tentative. "Hello, pizza should be here soon."
Bikky looked suspicious. "Did you put broccoli on it again?"
Ryo shook his head. "I got two large meat lovers with extra cheese."
Dee traded a look with Bikky. What the hell?
Ryo bit his full bottom lip. "I thought we could have ice cream after dinner." He pointed to three grocery bags on the kitchen counter. "I got waffle bowls, whip cream, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, candy pieces, maraschino cherries, and marshmallow cream."
"Dude, what's goin on?" Dee asked, grunting when Bikky kicked him in the shin.
Ryo's cheeks flushed. "Why does something have to be going on? Why can't I just order a dinner you'll like?"
Bikky proved to be smarter than Dee gave him credit. "Can we have salad too? I like that new Italian salad dressing you bought," he said, managing to sound convincing.
Ryo sighed in relief and turned toward the refrigerator to pull out the salad fixings.
Bikky stuck his tongue out at Dee, running over to Ryo before Dee could get a hold of him. Dangle a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, ham, beef, and bacon in front of Bikky and he was more than willing to eat a little salad. The ice cream bonanza on top of that was sure to send him into a food coma. A good thing, if Dee was going to find out why Ryo had suddenly tumbled off the nutrition bandwagon.
After dinner, Bikky voluntarily went to his bedroom to work on his homework, his stomach bulging and a satisfied smile on his face.
Dee curled up on the couch next to Ryo, his own stomach threatening to burst. He'd noticed that Ryo barely ate anything tonight. One slice of pizza and a couple of spoonfuls of the monstrous ice cream sundaes Bikky had composed. The most telling sign of Ryo's distress was the salad he had left untouched on his plate. The man was part rabbit and let no veggie untouched.
Dee poked Ryo in the stomach. "You ready to tell me what's going on?"
Ryo swatted Dee's hand. "Stop it. It was just dinner."
"On a Friday night."
Ryo's eyes widened. "You should be at work!"
"Not to worry, I got it covered." Dee kissed the side of Ryo's neck "Now tell me what's wrong, sweetheart."
Ryo rubbed his forehead. "I went to lunch with Marianne and Janet."
"That was your first mistake, dude. Those harpies will eat you alive."
"They had this quiz from the Cosmopolitan magazine and they made me fill it out too." Ryo rolled his eyes. His beautiful partner could be quite the pushover when those harpies sunk their teeth in him. "It gave me a personality rating of a stick-in-the-mud," he said, his nose wrinkling. "It suggested I be more spontaneous and accommodating if I wanted to get the man of my dreams." Ryo's blush darkened and he looked down at his lap. "If there's one thing I know the man of my dreams loves, it's meat."
Ryo was just too adorable. Dee slid to the floor to kneel in front of Ryo.
"What are you doing?" Ryo asked, his eyes drifting to Bikky's closed door. Dee knew they wouldn't be interrupted. He could hear the sound coming from Bikky's headphones through the door. The monkey brat would likely end up deaf before he turned twenty, but tonight was not the night to worry about it.
Dee grinned at Ryo. "I'm still hungry."
Ryo frowned. "Do you want me to heat up some more pizza?"
Dee licked his lips slowly, loving the way Ryo's eyes drifted to his mouth. "You're right about me being a meat lover." He unbuttoned Ryo's jeans and slid down the zipper. "And there's one meat I haven't had tonight."
To be continued…on Brit's Next Birthday, where Dee gets his meat and arranges a veggie delight for Ryo. Because I'm evil and anticipation is half the fun. :)
Happy Birthday, my dear!

"Stick-in-the-mud"... Poor Ryo. His quiz results are probably all over the building by now. JJ, of course, will be feeling vindicated. "Haven't I been saying that for years?" he'll demand. "Drake, are you even listening to me?"
Thank you so much for this meat-loving slice of FAKE fun!
