Sprawled bonelessly in the afterglow, Dee smirked at his partner, now his lover. Ryo looked shagged out.

“If it helps,” Dee told him smugly, “you never had a chance; I always get my man. Not that you made it easy for me.”

“So it was inevitable I’d fall for your charms, was it?” Ryo asked sleepily.

“Yup. Just took longer than I would’ve liked.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean…”

Dee cut him off. “Quit apologising, dope. Anyway, you’re worth it. Just so you know, now I’ve got you, I’m never lettin’ you go.”

Ryo smiled contentedly. That suited him just fine.

*smiles* That sums it up perfectly. Just the right amount of light humour, no cheesyness despite being romantic. :)

Thank you! I wanted to be romantic but in character. Ryo's always apologising, and Dee's always telling him he has no need to.

Exactly. :D I wonder if that will ever change. Somehow I doubt it. But that's just why these two are so cute together. <3

Maybe when Ryo gains a bit more confidence he won't feel the need to apologise quite so much. He's just not used to being in a relationship and keeps thinking he's doing it wrong.
