“What’s wrong with me? I’m acting like I really wanted him to ask me out…”

Ryo had been perfectly fine up until Dee Laytner had wandered into his life. Everything had been ticking along nicely; he’d made detective, had a good new job, knew exactly who he was and where he was going. Now, his life had been turned completely upside down and he had no idea how it had happened.

Dee was relentless with his teasing and jokey flirting. It was a joke, wasn’t it? Dee wasn’t serious. Or was he? Surely every stolen kiss was just Dee being Dee, and it wasn’t as if Ryo was actually interested. He was straight; he’d worked hard at being straight, but now…

He couldn’t get Dee out of his head. They worked together all day, hung out together after work as often as not, and even when they weren’t together, every time Ryo closed his eyes all he could see were green eyes, jet black hair and that wicked smile. What had Dee done to him?

Whatever it was, Ryo wasn’t sure anymore whether or not he wanted it to stop, and the confusion was driving him mad.

He just wished he knew what to do.

The End

Ryo, I think you know why you're always thinking about Dee. You just don't want to admit it. :P

Deep down he knows, but like he says, he's been working hard at being straight. He needs to stop that and let himself be who and what he really is. Then he can be happy with Dee.

Thank you.

"Worked hard at being straight"?
There's your clue Ryo!
Embrace who you are, and embrace Dee whilst you're at it! :-)

Poor boy, he's so conflicted. His body knows what it wants, but his head keeps going "No!" I think he's afraid of how people will see him if he admits he's gay.

Thank you!
