Dee stared at his reflection in the mirror. He wasn’t as young as he used to be, there were new wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth, a few furrows in his forehead, and he’d been noticing one or two grey hairs, which he’d plucked out. He still had enough hair that he didn’t have to worry about going bald anytime soon, but he wondered how long he should wait before he stopped pulling hairs and resorted to dying them.
On the plus side, he wasn’t getting flabby yet, still lean and muscular… He turned sideways. Was his butt starting to sag?
“Admiring yourself again?” Ryo asked from the doorway, smiling.
“Time’s catchin’ up with me, babe. I’m not twenty-five anymore, I’ll be twice that in a few more years.”
“And I’ll still get there ahead of you.” Ryo came to stand beside his husband.
“I’m gettin’ wrinkly.”
“So am I; it’s called ageing, but you know what? You’re still the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.”
“You mean that?”
“Wouldn’t say it if I didn’t. I think we’re ageing pretty gracefully.”
“If I haveta get old, I’d rather do it disgracefully,” Dee joked.
Ryo snorted. “You would.”
The End
