The undercover gig Dee had been assigned to had come to a somewhat unexpected early conclusion when the leader of the gang he’d infiltrated had gotten drunk and told him everything; the date, time, and location of their next raid, and exactly how they’d carry it out. As a result, Dee had alerted the NYPD and a SWAT team had been put in position. The gang hadn’t stood a chance, caught red-handed, and once he’d been debriefed, Dee had been free as a bird.

 
Naturally, there’d been only once place he wanted to go; it was Ryo’s day off, so he made straight for his lover’s apartment. Two weeks without his baby was more than enough.
 

Turning his key in the lock, he threw the apartment door wide open.
 

“Surprise!”
 

Ryo was surprised alright. So surprised that the stepladder he was standing on wobbled precariously and only Dee’s fast reflexes and a desperate lunge across the intervening space kept his lover from a potentially disastrous fall. As it was, the stepladder toppled, hitting the tarp-covered floorboards with a resounding crash, and Dee found himself with his arms full of Ryo, dishevelled, paint-spattered, and utterly gorgeous.
 

As Dee set him safely on his feet, Ryo blinked up at his lover through his paint-goggles.
 

“Dee? What’re you doing here? You nearly scared the life out of me!”
 

“Yeah, sorry about that. My assignment’s over and I wanted to surprise you. Wasn’t expectin’ you to be up a ladder though.”
 

“I was worried about you, needed a distraction, and the apartment needed a fresh coat of paint, so I figured now was as good a time as any. It gave me something constructive to do… Mmpf!”

 
Ryo’s knees started to buckle as Dee kissed him.

 
“Your redecorating’s gonna have to wait a bit.”
