FAKE Drabble: Everything’s Changed

Title: Everything’s Changed

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ryo, Dee

Rating: PG

Setting: At the end of Vol. 7.

Summary: Ryo’s fears were unfounded.

Disclaimer: I don’t own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.

A/N: For the prompt ‘Everything Has Changed’ (I’m using a bunch of prompts I already used for Torchwood drabbles – this one’s a song title from the Billboard Hot 100 charts.)

Lying in Dee’s arms, drowsy and content, Ryo couldn’t help but wonder why he’d resisted for so long, why it had taken him another three weeks to ask Dee out and admit how he felt. His fears seemed ridiculous now. He was still the same man, just happier, more at ease, and feeling very thoroughly loved. He’d be sore in the morning, but a good kind of sore.

“What are you thinking about?” Dee murmured.

Ryo smiled.

“I was scared about what might happen if I gave in to what I wanted.”

“And?”

“Now everything’s changed. I’m not scared anymore.”

The End

That is lovely and fits with Ryo's thought process very well.

Thank you! He got past his fears and opened up to Dee; I think it was worth the wait for both of them, now they're right where they want to be even if Ryo still tends to be a bit skittish about sex! It's almost like he feels guilty for enjoying it.

Thats how it should be :) it's so sad that many people stand in the way of their own happiness just because they believe society should tell them who to love.

I know, and Ryo nearly let that happen to himself. If Dee hadn't been so persistent, Ryo's fate would not have been such a happy one. I've written a fic about that, I really must try to get that one posted soon.

Thank you!
