Dee dusted off his hands.

“Right, that’s the last box loaded. You about done here?”

“I think so, everything’s clean for whoever moves in.”

Ryo stood looking around the apartment that had been his home for so long; it was full of memories. This was where he’d watched Bikky grow up, where he’d gotten to know Dee over countless meals, where he’d been pounced more times than he could remember. In that bedroom he and Dee shared their first proper night together.

Strong arms wrapped around him from behind, Dee’s chin resting on his shoulder.

“You okay, babe?”

“I guess. I’ll just miss this place.”

“Yeah, we made good memories here.” Ryo could tell Dee was smiling. “But we made memories at my place too, and I plan on us makin’ a whole lot more there together. Y’know, if we ever manage to get ya moved in.”

“Is that your subtle way of telling me to get a move on?”

“Yep!”

A hand slapped his behind playfully.

“Move this gorgeous ass so we can be done by supper.” Dee headed for the door.

With one last look round, Ryo followed him.

The next stage of his life was just beginning.

Moving house can be so stressing and exciting at the same time. I did it a few times and I'll certainly do it soon again, so I know this bittersweet feeling too well. You describe it very well.

Thank you! I've never moved house in my life, so I'm just going on what I think it would feel like for the characters =)
