A/N: This one’s a triple drabble.





One look at Bikky’s wide-eyed, innocent expression was enough to make Dee instantly suspicious. He’d worn that look often enough when he was growing up to recognise it in kids now he was an adult.


“Okay, what did ya do now?”


“What? Nothin’, I’m innocent!”


“Don’t try to pull that bull on me, kid. Ryo might buy the act, but he’s stuck in traffic on the interstate, which is why you’ve got me to deal with. So what happened? Principal Morris said you blew up the science lab.” Dee folded his arms across his chest and fixed the boy with the unwavering glare he used on suspects.


“I didn’t mean to.” Bikky slumped. “I must’ve made a mistake with the ingredients for the experiment we were doing.” He looked beseechingly from Dee to the school Principal and back again. “A lot of the bottles look the same, it’s really hard to tell them apart.”


“That’s why they have labels, dumbass.”


“I know, I should’ve been more careful. I’m really sorry.”


“You’re also grounded and you’ll pay for the repairs out of your allowance. You’re lucky the damage was fairly minor.” Dee apologised to Principal Morris and turned to leave.


Bikky drooped even further as they left the office, but Dee didn’t say anything else to him until they were in the car on their way back to Ryo’s apartment.


“Okay, fess up; you just wanted to see what would happen if you mixed together things you were told not to, didn’t ya?”


Bikky couldn’t restrain himself any longer. “It was way cool! You should’ve seen it!” He glanced sidelong at Dee. “You won’t tell Ryo, will you?”


“Nah, your secret’s safe with me. Just don’t do it again, ‘kay? It would kill Ryo if you got yourself hurt.”


“I promise.”

Typical boys, lol! And I love that, for all that they're always at each other's throats, Dee and Bikky still have obvious common ground, and can relate to each other.

I loved the way that was shown in the manga. Even right an the start when Bikky is being kidnapped, Dee goes to the rescue and gets knocked out, Bikky wouldn't let go of him. They fight, but they stand up for each other, in some ways they're like siblings with a really big age gap, lol! They just get each other in a way that Ryo never will.

Thank you!

Very welcome!

Yeah, the fact of Dee having been around some of the same blocks Bikky's going around gives them a relatability that can't really be had with someone as naïve as Ryo. And I would think it would really help keep Bikky in line; Dee might not tell on him, but he knows all the tricks, so there's one person he'll never get anything past!

Exactly! He won''t tell, but he will set Bikky straight in terms that he'll understand.
