Summary: Ryo likes pretty things.



Sometime in the morning, still early judging from the light streaming through the window, Ryo woke up alone in bed. He took advantage of the extra room to roll over, sprawl out, and stretch. Ryo yawned and blinked, bringing his sleep-muddled thoughts into focus.

Where was Dee?

Ryo sat up. He didn't hear the shower, nor did he smell coffee brewing. Sliding out of bed, he located his briefs from where they'd been tossed the night before, stepped into them and then into his jeans. Shirtless, he padded out into the living room.

There was no sign of Dee.

"Huh," Ryo mused aloud. Shrugging, he stepped into the kitchen and started the coffee pot. It had just finished brewing when Ryo heard a key in the lock. Dee came striding in, a pastry bag in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other. He halted in the doorway, eyes hot on Ryo's naked chest.

Ryo suppressed an eye roll. "Do you have a hot date?"

"Huh?"

"Flowers and goodies?" Ryo prompted, gesturing at what his partner was holding.

"Oh, these are for you, doofus," said Dee, handing Ryo the bouquet. "I went to get us some pastries and saw a lady sellin' flowers. I know how much you like pretty things." Here, he preened and made a gesture that encompassed his entire body. "And I thought these daffodils would add a little sweetness to your day."

"Irises."

"Huh?"

"They're irises, Dee, but thank you. I love them." Ryo turned away and bent to retrieve a vase from underneath the sink. When a hand smacked his ass, he jolted and banged his head.

"Oops, sorry, babe," said Dee, sounding anything but. "Let's go back to bed."

"I just made coffee," Ryo protested, rubbing the back of his head. "And, I'm hungry," he added, grabbing the bag from Dee's hand.

"But you look so sexy, all half naked like that!"

"I'll put a shirt on."

"No, don't do that," Dee said hastily. "I like ya like this."

Ryo filled the vase with water and put the flowers in it. He took his time pouring a cup of coffee and selecting a bear claw from the bag. "Coffee and pastries first."

Dee's sullen expression brightened immediately. "Okay, babe," he said. "For what I got in mind, you'll need to fuel up on caffeine and sugar."
